+# Getting Started
+
+## Purpose of this guide
+
+There are several ways to create a personal Bitcore dedicated instance for processing your BTCP payments online. This guide will cover the setup on a Digital Ocean Droplet & an AWS instance and the installation of Bitcore.  If you already have a server running with Ubuntu on Digital Ocean or AWS you can jump to the installation guide. 
+
+Once you have Bitcore running you will be able to connect to it to process payments which we will cover in other chapters. 
+
+{% hint style="info" %}
+DigitalOcean calls its cloud servers Droplets; each Droplet you create is a new server for your personal use.
+{% endhint %}
