Now, before going to the next step, you need to create an API token to connect your Hetzner account to ORIV Host. To do that, log in to your [**Hetzner Cloud Console account**](https://accounts.hetzner.com/login). Then, select a project and navigate to ‘**Security → API tokens’** from the left sidebar.

Click on the API tab to generate a new API or select an existing one. Now, hit the ‘**Generate API token**’, give a description (ORIV, for example), and select the permission as ‘**Read & Write**’. While generating a New API key, we always recommend you select the ‘**Read & Write**’ permission.

The label can be anything to help you track or remember a particular one from multiple tokens. After that, paste the API token that you have copied from the Hetzner on the token field.

We recommend at least a 2GB/ 1 shared CPU server for 10-20 brochure sites with cache enabled. And for a site whose pages cannot be cached (e.g. WooCommerce site) we recommend a 4 GB / 2 dedicated CPUs server.

We are almost done with our server creation of Hetzner in ORIV. After submitting the form this might take up to 10-15 minutes to make the Hetzner server live and ready to install a lightning-fast WordPress Site.

## **Automatic Firewall Setup for Your Hetzner Server**

During this process, ORIV will automatically add a firewall with three ports to your Hetzner server.

***Note:** It is strongly recommended that you do not remove this firewall. It helps protect your server.*
