Your next steps will depend on whether you already have a GaugeHosting client account:

Order Review & Service Activation

After payment has been successfully completed, your order will proceed through the activation process.

Depending on the type of service ordered, your service may either be activated automatically or reviewed by a GaugeHosting team member before activation.

• Automatic Activation: Services that support automatic provisioning will generally be activated after successful payment.
• Manual Review: Certain hosting, VPS, server, or other services may require additional review before they can be activated.
