# Install on a new server

Use a dedicated server when you want to manage UXWizz separately from the websites you track. You need server administration access, a public hostname, HTTPS, and a backup plan.

## How to install UXWizz

* [Install on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server (recommended)](/installation/setup-uxwizz-server/ubuntu-20.04.md)
* [Create an Ubuntu server on DigitalOcean](/installation/setup-uxwizz-server/digitalocean.md)
* [Install via Docker](/installation/docker.md)

## Quick notes:

### 1. Benefits of running UXWizz on its own server

* **Separate resources:** tracking, database queries, and retention jobs have their own CPU, memory, and storage budget.
* **Independent maintenance:** you can update or resize the analytics server separately from your website.
* **A smaller failure scope:** separate servers can limit the effect of a failure, provided their credentials, permissions, and network access are also separated.

A separate server does not remove the need for updates, access controls, monitoring, and backups. Size it using [measured traffic and storage](/installation/requirements/server-specs-cpu-ram.md).

### 2. Recommended server hosting providers

[DigitalOcean](https://m.do.co/c/32db05609806) and [Hetzner](https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=UbRqvwvi1mfG) are options for a VPS. Choose a provider and region that meet your administration, data-location, support, and recovery needs. Check current prices and terms before creating a server.

These links contain referral codes. Any credit or discount depends on the provider's current eligibility and offer terms.

Start with a supported Ubuntu image and follow the Linux guide. The older UXWizz DigitalOcean Marketplace link is no longer a reliable installation route; the [DigitalOcean page](/installation/setup-uxwizz-server/digitalocean.md) now covers a normal Droplet.
