The next step is “Server Size” now, and you should choose the best plan you need. I have created a WordPress Portfolio site, so we don’t need high storage or max CPU compute engine, so we select a $5 per month plan.
Select Additional Features
Some “Some Additional Features” like IPv6, Auto Backups (Paid), and Private Networking. If you need them, then you can enable these features.

This password and username you will get when your application installation completes.
