Moving website in local XAMPP stack in a Mac... to Ubuntu 14.04 droplet

Posted on February 12, 2015

I have a website that I developed on a Mac using XAMPP (a cross-platform LAMP stack). The website uses the following technologies: HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery and PHP.

And I have a domain name I bought via Hover.com.

Now, I’ve bought a Digital Ocean droplet consisting of Ubuntu 12.04.

What are the steps I need to do to transfer my website so it becomes live on the domain? Could you kindly point me to up-to-date tutorials?

One key issue for me is that I will be hosting multiple domains on this droplet, so I might need to set up virtual hosts or use some other technique. Advice on how to do this would be especially welcome.

I’ve seen some tutorials on here, but some of the information seems a little old, so am not sure if it’s up-to-date.

Thanks for the help.
