1.5 Complete Your Billing Information

To request a free trial, you will need to activate your account with valid billing information. Therefore, once you confirm your order, you will be required to update your billing information so that Database Mart can validate your account and thus issue the free trial to you.

Update your Billing information

The validation process normally takes 2 hours. During the process, your trial server is in the pending status.

Once the account passes the verification, Database Mart will deploy the server for you and the trial server will be in the active status. Normally, the deployment for VPS need 1-10 minutes, while dedicated server deployment may take 20-40 minutes. When the deployment completes, you will receive an email containing the server information, which can also be found in the control panel. Click the Manage button to find login information and manage your server. You can refer to this guide on how to manage products in the control panel.
