> 💡**Important:** Hostinger does not allow purchase through credit cards via their API. So, to create Hostinger servers with our new integration, you must confirm that you have a different payment method and not a credit card. Currently, supported payment methods include **Apple Pay**, **Google Pay**, and **PayPal**. We will support credit cards if Hostinger allows it in the future.

## **Step 1: Sign Up/Login with xCloud**

First, you will need to visit the xCloud website, and you have to sign up or log in to xCloud with your credentials.

Now, before going to the next step, you need to create an API token to connect your Hostinger account to xCloud Host. To do that, log in to your Hostinger account and create an API key. Copy the API key to set up a Hostinger VPS server in xCloud.

## **Step 3: Connect Account & Add Necessary Information**

Now, go back to xCloud dashboard to create a new server with Hostinger. Select your existing server or create a new account. Then, set an API label as you prefer. The label can be anything to help you track or remember a particular one from multiple tokens. After that, paste the API token that you have copied from Hostinger into the token field.
