Hello the digital-team and others :)
I ll buy servers on digitalocean.
I have some questions (usefull for other im sure) ^^ - Im currently developing my prestashop store. I need to choose 2 servers (Production and Development)
I hesitate between $20/mo or $40/mo. I really need 4GB ? Its probably better to get 2 same configurations.
I ll install web server and other stuff by myself : Nginx or Apache+Nginx ?
I should install Cpanel like in free of course : Foxlor or ISPConfig ?
Thanks :)

Hi Mepps,
Let me answer as best I can, I am sure others will add more info as well.

It sounds like your just getting started! Good Luck! I’m just getting started answering questions. You can upgrade at any time, it takes a few minuites that’s all. If your just getting started I would Virtualize one machine into two, if that sounds to complicated just get two until you figure it out (you can delete machines at anytime as well).

Here’s a good tutorial on installing LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu

Yes, any of those will work. You should also check out Webmin http://webmin.com/ . Try them all, and choose the one your most comfortable with.
Good luck!

Thanks for your advices :)
It’s a pitty ServerPilot doesn’t manage LEMP stack. But I didn’t know and seem’s to be a goood service :)
So I ll order the 20$ plan, install Lemp, Nginx, Fail2Ban… =) And probably install Foxlor :)
And also try cloudfare :)
Cheers
Hey Sky777
Thanks you for your great reply.
Hmm I don’t understand your story about Virtualize ?
About Nginx or Apache/Nginx, My question was what is the more reliable, fast and powerful ? I know nginx alone, apache alone and Apache/Nginx (nginx as reverse proxy) but I want to know what the best? I think I ll install only Nginx.
Yep I checked Webmin, but I drop off from my short list because I don’t like this tool and I want try new one. I m looking people with some advice/tips on those products.
Cheers :)
