Question
Could someone help me to setup a basic server using Centos 6.4 32bit with Digital Ocean basic $5 plan
Could someone please guide me through the steps of setting up a basic server where I can do following things:
1 - Host a website;
2 - Host a wordpress blog;
3 - Upload files with the help of FTP;
4 - Install a SSL certificate;
5 - Run server side scripts with the help of PHP and Mysql;
6 - Upload and manage .htaccess file and;
7 - Secure my server with basic security, so I can minimise the risk of being hacked.
I would really appreciate if you guys can point me to the right articles on digital ocean or somewhere else where I can find the best resources.
Just to be clear I am a novice with Virtual Private Servers and I have always used shared hosting, but now I need VPS for my new project which requires much more than shared hosting.
Thanks in advance
