1984 Hosting Automated VPS Setup Checklist

When a new 1984 Hosting VPS is ordered, WebRun opens the 1984 control panel, checks whether SSH access, DNS records, and the backup schedule are configured, adds a Google Calendar follow up for one week out to confirm everything is still healthy, and posts the current setup status to Teams for the team to see.

In short

How do I make sure a new 1984 Hosting VPS gets fully set up?

When a new 1984 Hosting VPS is ordered, WebRun checks the control panel for whether SSH access, DNS records, and the backup schedule are configured, then posts the current setup status to Teams. It also adds a Google Calendar follow up for one week out to confirm nothing was left half finished.

  • Every new VPS gets the same setup check, so nothing gets skipped
  • A one week follow up catches anything left half configured
  • The team sees setup status in Teams without logging into the control panel

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it configure SSH keys, DNS, or the firewall itself?

No. WebRun checks and reports what is already configured on the VPS. Making the actual configuration changes stays with your team.

Why a one week follow up instead of checking immediately?

A week gives enough time for a manually configured item to actually get done, so the follow up check reflects real progress instead of catching a task still in flight.

What if setup is already fully done when it first checks?

The Teams post shows everything confirmed and the calendar follow up still gets added as a routine health check rather than skipped.
