Browse through the list of available servers, filtered by CPU type and memory size if needed.

The list of servers are grouped by specification type which includes CPU architecture, # of GPUs and their type, and bandwidth category.

Under each specification types, individual servers are listed with more details, such as memory, disk size and network interface info.

Select the servers that match your requirements by clicking the checkbox next to each server.

{% endhint %}

#### **Step 4: Select Duration**

Select the order duration by month or week and how many months or weeks. Note that certain discounts are available for a longer duration.

#### **Step 5: Review and Confirm Order**

On the right side of the page, you will see the "Order Details" section. Review the selected servers, total duration, and the calculated cost. Confirm the details and proceed to payment.

#### **Step 6: Make Payment**

Note that if you have ongoing charges, Top up and Pay might fail as the topped-up balance may be immediately consumed by your ongoing charges. Please make sure you have enough balance in wallet for a smooth experience.

Complete the payment process to finalize the server rental.

#### **Step 7: Manage Your Servers**

Once the payment is confirmed, your rented servers will appear in the "Servers" section under the "Aethir Earth" tab. Here, you can monitor the status, service terms and other details.
