Creating a deployment

Once you have uploaded your server build and your region plan has been created,
it’s time to head over to Deployments on your dashboard.

Creating a deployment is very easy, you just have to give it a name, choose where you want to deploy by selecting a region plan, selecting a build from your preferred repository, and click on the Create a Deployment button!

tip

If you are in development and testing features in your game, we recommend disabling your servers when they're not being used! This prevents you from getting billed for unused resources and will keep testing/development cost low!
Often not more than a couple of bucks a month!

Note: your cost may differ based on your usage and machine types.

Raidflux takes up to 5 minutes to spin up your servers, In the meantime lets continue at Going Live!
