Disregard this VPN option if you are residing outside the China region. This option is used to enable **Shadowsocks** and **Vmess** VPN. You can obtain the VPN configuration from the instance edit page.
{% endhint %}

Choose the purchase duration as your preference.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
In packages, the storage size and monthly bandwidth (data plan) is pre determined. But you can click on "Yes" to buy data plan automatically when your "package included" data plan runs out.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
In packages, you will get four predefined purchase duration. And once your instance reaches the deadline it will automatically be closed and deleted. But you can select "Yes" for automatic renewal to stop that. We will send you rapid emails before we close any of your instance.
{% endhint %}

Enter a strong password for your VPS, and click on “Confirm”.

{% hint style="info" %}
The password length is 8-20 characters long, including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.littlepig.cloud/documentations/instance-management/lightsail-vps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
