Hello guys!
I want to bring my Wordpress blog to DO, but i want it to be the safest and fastest possible, so i will not have problems for a long time (i have high daily traffic, almost 50k per day)
Here’s what i intend to do:
-
Install Ubuntu 12.04 following this link https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-12-04
-
Deploy a Firewall https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-a-firewall-with-ufw-on-an-ubuntu-and-debian-cloud-server
-
Install Fail2Ban https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-protect-ssh-with-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-12-04
-
SSH keys then? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-ssh-keys-with-putty-to-connect-to-a-vps
-
Install a Swap https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-12-04
-
Install NGINX, MySQL and PHP https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-12-04
-
Then Memcache https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-use-memcache-on-ubuntu-12-04 (they said Wordpress need to “support” memcache and that there is a plugin for that, is that right? http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ffpc/

APC (Alternative PHP Cache) https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-alternative-php-cache-apc-on-a-cloud-server-running-ubuntu-12-04
-
Migrate Wordpress (this link shows it using Apache, but i think it will do for me too as i will use Nginx) https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-migrate-wordpress-from-shared-hosting-to-a-cloud-server-with-zero-downtime
-
Then install Varnish https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-nginx-php-and-varnish-on-ubuntu-12-04

I wouldn’t install PHPMyAdmin. You should use a local mysql client (e.g. HeidiSQL) instead and forward port 3306 on your droplet locally: <a href=“https://library.linode.com/databases/mysql/mysql-ssh-tunnel”>https://library.linode.com/databases/mysql/mysql-ssh-tunnel</a>.
I see!!! nice, will do that! <br> <br>I’m think about PHPMyAdmin, it doesn’t matter if i install it right after nginx and fastcgi or only after wordpress, does it??
You will still need to install a FastCGI process manager for php, aka the php5-fpm package.
