Simple Django Deployment (part 3): Creating the server

You've probably heard the word "server" used to refer to a dozen different things, so let me be specific. Our server will be a Linux virtual machine (VM), which we are going to rent from DigitalOcean, a cloud hosting company. DigitalOcean will run our VM in one of their datacenters, which is a big building that is full of computers. For our purposes, this VM is a stand-alone computer that is for our private usage, with a static IP address which we can use to find it online.

Hi mate, what happens if I format the PC and lose my private key 🗝️ ( stored on the disk) will I lose access to my deployed project?
