This topic is regarding installation of your newly created website on an external server.

BlueOcean provides fine-tuned webhosting for our customers, however you have chosen to opt-out and will be using your own servers. We do not install new website projects on external servers. The main resason being is that we cannot vouch for, and have no control over server compatibility. Therefor installing the new website project on a new server is the responsibility of the customer.
