Wait for setup to finish
Your server starts setting itself up as soon as its invoice is paid. On average, your login details are emailed in under 3 minutes; some operating systems take a few minutes longer.While it sets up, the server’s page in the Billing Portal shows Deploying server with the current step. You can leave the page; setup continues.
