After Purchase

Once your order is processed, you'll receive your server credentials via email. Your VPS will be ready to connect via SSH.

Server Emulators

Most WoW private servers use one of these open-source emulators:

  • TrinityCore - The most popular choice, supports WoTLK (3.3.5a) and more
  • AzerothCore - Lightweight fork of TrinityCore with a strong community

Connecting to Your Server

Use an SSH client (like PuTTY on Windows or Terminal on Mac) to connect to your server using the IP, username, and password from your welcome email. See Connecting to Your VPS via SSH for detailed instructions.
