Now, before going to the next step, you need to create an API token to connect your Hetzner account to xCloud Host. To do that, log in to your Hetzner Cloud Console account. Then, select a project and navigate to โ€˜Security โ†’ API tokensโ€™ from the left sidebar.

Click on the API tab to generate a new API or select an existing one. Now, hit the โ€˜Generate API tokenโ€™, give a description (xCloud, for example), and select the permission as โ€˜Read & Writeโ€™. While generating a New API key, we always recommend you select the โ€˜Read & Writeโ€™ permission.

We recommend at least a 2GB/ 1 shared CPU server for 10-20 brochure sites with cache enabled. And for a site whose pages cannot be cached (e.g. WooCommerce site) we recommend a 4 GB / 2 dedicated CPUs server.

We are almost done with our server creation of Hetzner in xCloud. After submitting the form this might take up to 10-15 minutes to make the Hetzner server live and ready to install a lightning-fast WordPress Site.

xCloud will automatically add a firewall with three ports on the Hetzner end. We recommend not to remove this firewall.
