How to set up a VPS Web Server
This is more or less just a guideline to remind myself how I go about setting up a web server in a way I'll most likely remember it. This is not limited to a VPS, but I am using a VPS so we will proceed with that in mind. First start off by getting yourself a vps. I use https://lowendbox.com/ to find myself a cheap vps. Sign up, buy your VPS subscription and launch your VPS at the provider's web portal. They may have a console you can use, but I will be using putty to connect to the server. Next, set up putty to connect to your newly purchased vps. This can be easily installed on your windows machine by going to https://www.putty.org/. Alternatively, you can manually SSH instead if you prefer. Enter the IP granted by the VPS provider, logging in as root and entering the password you have set with the VPS provider. If a root password is not provided, look in the VPS provider's web portal to see an option to update the root password. Begin by verifying what OS you're run...
