Server Configuration

Having customized your blockchain and connected to a server provider, the next step is to select a server configuration for your network. While several options exist, we do recommend that you choose a configuration that offers optimal performance since this will allow you to scale your blockchain in the future.

Navigate to ‘Server Configuration’

While viewing the Blockchain Wizard, you will notice a strikethrough across the Customize Your Blockchain and Connect a Server Provider steps. In order to select a server configuration for your blockchain, you will need to click on Server Configuration.

The Server Configuration page contains a few fields that you will need to fill in and/or select an option from.

Server Name - Enter a name for your server.

Server Provider - This section will display the server provider (either DigitalOcean or Hetzner ) you selected in the previous step.
