Getting Started

1. In order to start being able to create and delete servers on our Wirecities cloud, you will
need to setup an account with us. The account costs you nothing to create and all you
need is a credit card for billing & verification purposes, which will not be charged if you
have zero usage.

2. Once your account is setup and activated which is completed instantly, you can login to
your cloud service and create your first Linux or Windows server. The server will be
created instantly and you will be provided with the administrative password as well as
full control using our control panel.

3. Once your servers are setup, you can manage them either using our cloud control panel that allows you to leverage all of the Wirecities features or opt to use the developer
APIs. Alternatively, you can also use any Wirecities compatible tools such as the CLI
tools to manage your cloud services.

Wirecities is officially secured by RapidSSL – What does this mean for our customers?

What is SSL?

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for enabling data encryption on the internet and for helping web site users confirm the owner of the web site. SSL is most commonly used to protect communications between web browsers and servers. However it is increasingly used for server to server communications and for web-based applications.  With Wirecities pages secured by RapidSSL, this means your data is protected from intruders with the strongest security on the internet.

What is encryption and why are there different levels?

Encryption is a mathematical process of coding and decoding information. The number of bits (40-bit, 56-bit, 128-bit, 256-bit) tells you the size of the key. Like a longer password, a larger key has more possible combinations. When an encrypted session is established, the encryption level is determined by the capability of the web browser, SSL certificate, web server, and client computer operating system.  For the majority of our customers, you will experience security between 128-bit and 256-bit encryption.

What is domain control validation?

RapidSSL will confirm domain control by sending an email to the administrator listed with the registrar for the domain. In addition to validation by email, you will be asked to provide a telephone number where you can be reached immediately after submitting your enrollment. If everything checks out, the SSL certificate is issued.

Wirecities customers will also have the opportunity to purchase RapidSSL certificates, visit the SSL page now.
