How do I host a website with DigitalOcean?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:07 pm

If you’re looking to start a website, or just want to improve the one you have, then you’re in luck. There are a lot of great options for hosting websites, and one of the best is DigitalOcean.

DigitalOcean is a cloud computing platform that lets you create and manage your own servers. You can use DigitalOcean to host a website, blog, or any other online presence.

To start hosting a website on DigitalOcean, you first need to create an account. After you create your account, you can choose a server to host your website on.

You can select from a variety of servers, including a server with a 100GB disk size and 1GB of memory.

Once you’ve selected a server, you can create a droplet. A droplet is a server that you can use to host your website.

You can create a droplet using either the DigitalOcean website or the DigitalOcean command-line tool.

To create a droplet, first sign in to your DigitalOcean account. Then, click the droplets button in the main navigation bar.

On the droplets page, click the create droplet button.

On the create droplet page, you need to provide a name for your droplet and a server address. You can also provide a Droplet Size and Image.

The Droplet Size is the size of the droplet, in GB, and the Image is the image that will be used to create the droplet.

You can also provide a description for your droplet. After you provide the information needed to create your droplet, click the create droplet button.

You now have a droplet created on DigitalOcean. To use your droplet, you first need to create an account on the server.

After you create your account, you can use the account to log in to the server and access your droplet.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to host a website with DigitalOcean, please be aware that there have been reports of data loss and downtime with this service. We recommend that you use a different provider for your web hosting needs.

To use your droplet, first sign in to your DigitalOcean account.

On the droplets page, click the droplet you want to use.

You can now access your droplet using the DigitalOcean website or the DigitalOcean command-line tool. To use the DigitalOcean website, sign in to your DigitalOcean account and click the droplets button. To use the DigitalOcean command-line tool, type the following command and press Enter:

droplet create droplet-name droplet-server

For example, to create a droplet named my-droplet on the server my-server, you would type the following command:

droplet create my-droplet my-server

After you create your droplet, you need to configure it to use your website. To do this, you first need to add your website’s domain to your droplet.

To add your website’s domain, sign in to your DigitalOcean account and click the droplets button. On the droplets page, click the droplet you want to use.

droplet add-domain droplet-name droplet-server

For example, to add the domain example.com to the droplet named my-droplet on the server my-server, you would type the following command:

droplet add-domain my-droplet my-server

After you add your website’s domain to your droplet, you need to create a website on your droplet. To create a website on your droplet, sign in to your DigitalOcean account and click the droplets button.

droplet create droplet-name droplet.
