Do you have
a VPS?

The agents run on your own server — not mine, not a SaaS platform. That is what makes ownership real. You need a VPS with root access before the build can begin.

If you don't have one yet, Hostinger's plans are reliable and start at $10/month — the same setup this site runs on.

Please confirm you have (or will have) a VPS to continue.
