How to setup FastCGI cache for WordPress sites?
After years of cPanel hosting I have considered to setup my own server in DigitalOcean for my high-traffic WordPress (WooCommerce). I am getting tired of dealing with shared hosting companies.
Also I don’t want to pay $300/mo for WP Engine or whatever. Other dropshipping guys have said a cloud server is enough to handle my traffic is maybe $5 or $10 each month.
I used Cloudflare for my CDN but I know caching is going to be critical for my site.
I know that Nginx FastCGI cache is the most popular option. However I’m used to only WordPress caching plugins.
Just for my information (not sure I will be able to do it alone) I would like to understand what is required if I will do:
- setup new DO cloud server
- install Nginx, PHP, MySQL etc
- activate FastCGI cache
- how to manage the settings in the future

By the way, if you are not sysadmin professional and you want the easy solution to install LEMP stack (Nginx) with FastCGI cache you can try any free script like SlickStack:

Manage the settings? Really, after install you are finished, and never required to mess around with all the settings again. You can login SSH and
sudo apt updateandsudo apt upgradefew times each year is probably enough.
