Introduction

This guide aims to explain in an easy and accessible way to everyone how to install a Hornet node on the IOTA Chrysalis network through a VPS (Virtual Private Server).

Through a VPS on cloud you can run your node having total control of consumption and power needed, thanks to the Jelastic cloud system you spend only what you consume with no hidden costs.

By creating a node you help the IOTA network and the whole ecosystem, you can also validate your transactions without having to depend on someone else.

Special thanks go to Ruslan Synytsky and the entire Jelastic team for their help and availability and to the entire IOTA community for their support.

Step by step guide let’s get started!

1) Registration to Infomaniak cloud hosting service

In this guide I am relying on my favorite Swiss hosting service, Infomaniak.
If you want you can register via the refferal link, this way I will be able to support the IOTA network with new nodes ❤️

2) After registering, login and click on “Jelastic Cloud”

3) Select the type of account

Go ahead and choose the unlimited account (minimum about CHF/$ 20 recharge)

You can also choose the 14-day trial to test the Jelastic product, but you will not have a public IP address and there are several limitations that do not allow you to install a node.
