- A **domain name**. This is how you and others will access your server and how you and your users will be identified on the network.
**How to get**: Namecheap, Gandi, Hover, or any of the large number of domain name registrars. A domain comes with an annual cost, that varies depending on the choice of domain name.
- A **VPS** (Virtual Private Server). Something that will run the Mastodon code, that will always be connected to the internet.

**How to get**: DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Exoscale, Scaleway, any of the large number of hosting providers. A VPS comes with a monthly or annual cost that varies depending on hardware specifications.
- An **e-mail provider**. Mastodon needs to send confirmation links and various notifications through e-mail, and hosting your own SMTP server, while possible, is much more difficult to do reliably than to use a third-party provider.

**How to get**: Mailgun, SparkPost, Postmark, Sendgrid, any of the large number of e-mail hosting providers that expose a SMTP API. An email provider comes with a monthly or annual cost, usually based on volume of e-mails sent.
- (optionally) an **Object storage provider**. Mastodon can save files that you and your users upload on the hard disk drive of the VPS it runs on; however, the hard disk drive is usually not infinite, and can be difficult to upgrade later. An object storage provider gives you practically infinite metered file storage.

- An **Object Storage provider** (optional). Mastodon can save files that you and your users upload on the storage of the VPS it runs on; however, the storage is often limited in space, and it can be difficult to upgrade later. An object storage provider gives a way to store files separately from your VPS, which is useful if your VPS has a small storage limit.
**How to get**: Amazon S3, Exoscale, Wasabi, Google Cloud, anything that exposes either an S3-compatible or OpenStack Swift-compatible API. An object storage provider comes with a monthly cost based on the number and size of files stored, as well as how often they are accessed.

The 1-Click Install will deploy as a single-machine setup that can be scaled by adding CPU, memory or disk capacity to your Droplet.
If the needs of your deployment outgrow those abilities, you can reconfigure to load balance across multiple app servers, use dedicated servers for background workers, or use external databases servers -- but these options are outside of the scope of the initial 1-Click Install.
