# Deploying MobiusFlow in MobiusFlow Cloud

For most use cases, Deploying MobiusFlow in the MobiusFlow Cloud is simplest and most cost effective hosting option.

Customers can create new MobiusFlow instances themselves using the MobiusFlow manager platform. A full guide on how to use this platform can be found [here](/help/user-guides/mobiusflow-manager.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
MobiusFlow a hosting fee for hosting instances in the MobiusFlow cloud. As such, purchaser permissions are required.
{% endhint %}

When creating a new MobiusFlow instance using manager ensure the *Host instance on MobiusFlow Cloud* option is checked:

{% hint style="info" %}
If this option is not available, this is because you do not have purchaser permissions within this fleet.
{% endhint %}

On creation, there are several options that must be populated:

#### Hostname

This is the URL the new MobiusFlow cloud instance will be hosted on. In the above example, Manager has automatically suggested *average-pug-2488*. As such, new Cloud instance will be accessible at the URL *average-pug-2488.mobiusflow\.io*.

#### Build Type

This selects the version of MobiusFlow to use. If use for the MobiusFlow LoRaWAN LNS is required, ensure the MobiusFlow V2 with LoRaWAN Stack option is selected.

#### Region

This specifies the region of the world the new Cloud instance is to be hosted on. It is recommended to host the instance as near to where it will be used as possible.\\

Once a MobiusFlow Cloud hosted instance as online, an Environment is created, in-turn controlling how the instance can communicate with the outside world. A full article on this environment can be found [here](/help/technical-docs/mobiusflow-cloud-hosted-environment.md).&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.mobiusflow.com/help/user-guides/deploying-mobiusflow-in-mobiusflow-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
