Unmanaged VPS Tutorial — Set up Your Site FAST!

In this VPS tutorial, I'll show you how to set up your VPS to host unlimited projects for cheap.

For this VPS tutorial, I use unmanaged VPS from A2 Hosting, but you can follow along with any provider you choose.

The benefit of using a VPS is the fact that you pay WAY less and you get dedicated resources, most web hosting providers charge anywhere from $15 to $30 a month for the same quality of performance, yet here you get to have it all for just $4.99.

Your channel is really underrated. Your content is very solid!

[TheRednose]

Great video! I will need to use this for a new website I will need to host soon. The A2 plans are super fast, I already am using a Managed WP plan from them for an eCommerce site and it screams. Thanks again and keep the content coming!

[ArifBillahOnGoogle]

Straightforward! Great video. Thank you.

[Stiflex]

how do you import a wordpress site that previously had a different URL? It has a lot of pages, it's only 3gb, is this possible?

[JamesTsividis]

Awesome stuff! What else would I need to do in order to maintain the website hosted in this way? Can there be a lot of troubleshooting for a WooCommerce site due to the hosting?

[NiPSpawN]

Hi Emit, is enough default security? If I'm decided to run my wordpress websites on a VPS, even is A2Hosting or Linode/Vultr, should I make more additional settings, like firewals/ddos/spam protection/load balancers ... and so on?

Are these credentials are enough?

Asking about A2 Managed Server.

[my_name_is_isildur]

Does anyone where can I learn about unmanaged VPS so I can host my sites.

[mainbarenghasan]

[PuchoWebSolutions]

Hello from New York City! How to install the other software like phpMyAdmin, MySQL, IMAP/SMTP Mail server, and DNS on a VPS? What are best practices for VPS security? Thank you for great video.

[mikemaloy]

Heads up, some of the software versions have been updated since this video. After running the "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" I had to install update-inetd using "apt install update-inetd" in order for the install to complete successfully.

[Nobody-egbi]

No commands in the description unfortunately

[abdelmalekait]

i followed this tutorial, bought the a2 hosting etc, did everything like the video, websites looks fine but ran into some very complicated email and SSL problems that i couldn't solve, i saw the other video about Spanel, i wanted to buy it but they don't support a2... can you suggest a paid panel that can work for me for A2 vps, cheap and good ?

[OZMAX]

am i have to open the server and close it manually ?

[TrggrWarning]

I’m confused VPS as website or as VPN can you have both?

It's considered very bad practice to allow root logins over SSH. If used in a production environment this should be disabled and SSH keys should be used rather than passwords.

Thanks for the video but DO NOT buy unmanaged vps if you don't know how to use. Don't rely on this video it is not enough
