Provisioning starts after payment has been confirmed. A completed checkout or a pending bank/crypto transfer is not yet a confirmed payment.

Automated installation usually takes about **five minutes for Linux** or **15 minutes for Windows** after it starts, but image preparation, payment checks and installation work can take longer. These are estimates, not a delivery guarantee.

## Check progress

1. Confirm that the invoice is paid in the [EDBB Control Panel](https://my.edbb.com/clientarea.php).
2. Open the service and review the **Installation** tab and available installation logs.
3. Wait for installation to finish before connecting. Do not manually restart a VPS while the installer is running.
4. Check your [welcome email](/check-your-inbox) and connect through [SSH](/linux-secure-shell-ssh) or [RDP](/windows-remote-desktop).

If payment is confirmed but the installation has failed or stopped progressing, contact [support@edbb.com](mailto:support@edbb.com) with the service ID, invoice number, elapsed time and visible error. Do not include passwords.
