In this article, we are going to show you a few different ways to install VPS on your laptop. We will be using the DigitalOcean VPS service as an example, but the methods and steps should be applicable to most VPS services.
First, you will need to create an account with a VPS service. We recommend using a service like DigitalOcean, because they have a simple user interface and they provide a wide range of VPS options.
Once you have created your account, you will be able to access your account information. In this example, we are going to be using the DigitalOcean VPS service.
Next, you will need to create a Droplet. A Droplet is a basic VPS service.
Droplets come in a variety of sizes and with a variety of options. In this example, we are going to be using the smallest Droplet size (1GB of memory and 1GB of storage).
Once you have created your Droplet, you will need to choose a location. The DigitalOcean VPS service provides a wide range of locations around the world.
You can choose to have your Droplet located in the USA, Europe, Asia, or South America.
Now, you will need to choose a server. In this example, we are going to be using the Ubuntu 16.
04 LTS server.
Once you have chosen your server and location, you will need to choose a storage size. You can choose between a minimum of 1GB and a maximum of 10GB of storage.
Now, you will need to choose a droplet size. You can choose between a small (1GB of memory and 1GB of storage) or a standard (4GB of memory and 4GB of storage).
Finally, you will need to choose a server type. You can choose either a standard server or a high-performance server.
Once you have chosen all of your options, you will be ready to start your VPS installation.
First, we are going to install the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server.
Next, we are going to add a user to the Ubuntu 16.
Next, we are going to install the Ubuntu 16.
Next, we are going to configure the Ubuntu 16.
Next, we are going to install the MariaDB 10.3 server.
Next, we are going to install the Nginx web server.
Next, we are going to install the PHP 7.2 server.
Next, we are going to install the Git server.
Next, we are going to install the Apache web server.
Finally, we are going to create a droplet and mount the Droplet’s storage area.
Once all of the installation is complete, we are ready to create our first website. In this example, we are going to create a website using the Nginx web server.
First, we are going to create a directory to store our website files.
Next, we are going to create a index.html file in the directory.
Next, we are going to create a server block in the Nginx configuration file.
Next, we are going to add the index.html file to the server block.
Next, we are going to create a location block in the Nginx configuration file.
Next, we are going to add the location block to the server block.
Next, we are going to create a file called hello.php in the directory.
Next, we are going to add the hello.php file to the location block.
Next, we are going to create a virtual host block in the Nginx configuration file.
Next, we are going to add the virtual host block to the server block.
Next, we are going to create a root access file in the directory.
Next, we are going to add the root access file to the virtual host block.
Finally, we are going to reload the Nginx configuration file.
Once the Nginx configuration file has been reloaded, we are ready to test our website. In this example, we are going to visit the website using the web browser on our laptop.
Once we have tested the website, we are ready to install the Apache web server.
First, we are going to install the Apache web server.
Next, we are going to create a virtual host block in the Apache configuration file.
Next, we are going to add the virtual host block to the Apache configuration.
