> From renting a server to a live site with a domain and HTTPS.

Nolay installs an agent on your server, and from then on it builds and runs your projects. The pages of this section go in order: if you do not have a server yet, start with “What is a VPS”.

1. [What is Nolay](/en/start/what-is-nolay/): what the product is made of and what the agent does.
2. [What is a VPS and where to get one](/en/start/vps/): which server to rent.
3. [Server requirements](/en/start/requirements/): OS, memory, disk, network.
4. [Connecting a server](/en/start/connect-server/): one install command.
5. [First project](/en/start/first-project/): code from GitHub, an archive, Git by URL or a ready-made image.

Once the project runs, add a [domain and HTTPS](/en/guides/domains/).
