Getting payment right from the start saves hours of debugging later. In this comprehensive guide, we'll cover everything from initial setup to production-ready configuration, including credit-card and update considerations.
Prerequisites
- A registered domain name (for public-facing services)
- Current billing email on file
- Basic familiarity with the Linux command line
- Access to your Kazepute account dashboard
- A VPS running Ubuntu 22.04 or later (2GB+ RAM recommended)
Accessing Billing Settings
It's recommended to test this configuration in a staging environment before deploying to production. This helps identify potential compatibility issues and allows you to benchmark performance differences.
Portal Dashboard → Account → Billing Settings
1. Click "Payment Methods" tab
2. Click "Add Payment Method"
3. Enter your card details
4. Click "Save" to update
These commands should be run as root or with sudo privileges. If you're using a non-root user, prefix each command with sudo.

This configuration provides a good balance between performance and resource usage. For high-traffic scenarios, you may need to increase the limits further.
Managing Payment Methods
If you encounter issues during setup, check the system logs first. Most problems can be diagnosed by examining the output of journalctl or the application-specific log files in /var/log/.
Portal Dashboard → Account → Billing Settings
1. Click "Payment Methods" tab
2. Click "Add Payment Method"
3. Enter your card details
4. Click "Save" to update
Note that file paths may vary depending on your Linux distribution. The examples here are for Debian/Ubuntu; adjust paths accordingly for RHEL/CentOS-based systems.
Common Issues and Solutions
- Connection timeout: Verify your firewall rules allow traffic on the required ports. Use
ss -tlnpto confirm the service is listening on the expected port. - Permission denied errors: Ensure files and directories have the correct ownership. Use
chown -Rto fix ownership andchmodfor permissions. - High memory usage: Review the configuration for memory-related settings. Reduce worker counts or buffer sizes if running on a low-RAM VPS.
