Hello, I am a amateur web coder and I need to setup a web server to test my code as my laptop cannot handle a server. I was just inquiring as to how hard it is to actually setup a server on a VPS as I’ve never used one before. I have experience in setting up Minecraft and other game servers on Windows computers but never on a VPS. Will this be a extremely complicated process for someone as new as me?

Ok, I see. How much RAM would a web server need? Also which operating system is linux exactly, Debian or Ubuntu?
its pretty easy, you can choose the lamp droplet image and it would work right out of the box
