Getting Started¶
This guide walks through the path from "I want to try Capricorncorp" to "my service is live."
1. Sign up¶
Visit capricorncorp.com and create an account using:
- A valid email address — we send setup links and invoices here
- A working mobile number — used for DLT-compliant transactional SMS (OTP delivery, billing alerts)
- A working business name and address — required for GST invoicing and DLT enrolment for SMS products
After you sign up, you'll receive a verification email. Click the link to activate your account.
2. Pick a product¶
| You want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Host a website that needs more than shared hosting | VPS Hosting |
| Run a multi-VM stack with managed networking, load balancing, backups | Private Cloud |
| Send bulk SMS (campaigns, OTPs, transactional alerts) | Bulk SMS |
| Set up branded email at your own domain | Business Email |
| Host one or more WordPress / static / PHP sites | Web Hosting |
Each product page documents what's included, what configuration options exist, and how to provision.
3. Provision your service¶
Most products provision instantly from the dashboard after payment. Specific exceptions:
- Bulk SMS — DLT enrolment (sender header + template approval) takes 1-3 business days. We help with the paperwork.
- Private Cloud — large dedicated stacks are configured against your spec; the team reaches out after order.
4. Manage your service¶
- Dashboard: cloud.capricorncorp.com — provision new resources, view usage, manage billing
- Status: Internal monitoring tracks all infrastructure 24/7; outages are surfaced via your dashboard and (for critical issues) email to your account contact
