This section provides an overview of some of the steps to consider from planning, maintaining, through to upgrading a site.
Before starting
Talk to one of our sales team who can talk you through stack sizing, pricing, and features. They might be able to run you through a demo of either the CMS or the Silverstripe Cloud interfaces.
Getting signed up
Once you've decided Silverstripe Cloud is a good fit, we will take you through the process of signing up, requesting pricing, requesting a new stack, and choosing optional stack extras.
From within the Silverstripe Cloud Knowledge Base and Documentation, you can read about the following topics:
Get to know the basics
- Understanding stack roles and responsibilities
- The difference between UAT (testing) and Production (live)
- How to manage your stack
