Plex VPS hosting

Plex hosting is a specialised VPS service that comes with the pre-installed Ubuntu 22.04 and Plex media server template. It enables you to watch movies, videos, and listen to music from any device, anywhere. 

Plus, you can customise your Plex server by installing additional software. For example, install plugins to get subtitles in various languages.  

First, you need to create an account on the Plex website. Then, connect your server to this account and start uploading your media. For complete instructions, refer to our guide on setting up the Plex VPS template.
