How to install wordpress on a VPS server

This course is about all the nitty-gritty you need to get WordPress installed on a VPS server without breaking the bank on some strange technicalities.  First, we talked about WordPress in general, then the purchasing requirements, the concept of domain mapping, the different types of web hosting options, cyberpanel installations, and finally the installation of WordPress on cyberpanel.

Let’s get a quick look at the types of web hosting options available for us and why we are going for a VPS server:

What is shared hosting?

This is simply hosting your websites or website with like: Bluehost, DreamHost, hostwinds, Namecheap, wp engine, cloudways, scalahosting, webhostingpad, and other popular hosting you can think of. Though most of these companies have grown to add VPS and dedicated server hosting options to their hosting plans.

Above we did not even explain what is shared hosting ??. Let’s go this way, shared hosting simply means you have hundreds to thousands of other websites hosted on the same server or hosting machine as you. The implication of this is an averagely slower server, though that isn’t necessarily the case, as some shared hosting is still supersonically fast. So, to keep things simple, in shared hosting you don’t have control over the server, you don’t have control over critically important issues like the SEO. One person’s action might affect all websites on the server since you aren’t the only one on that server. This is mostly what people go for because it is simply very affordable.

What is VPS hosting?

VPS is short for virtual private servers. Unlike shared hosting, you are the only person that has this server. The implication is that you’ll have only your site or sites on it unless you want to help a friend host their site by adding their site to your VPS Hosting. You catch the drift ???

What is dedicated server Hosting?

dedicated hosting is an advanced form of VPS hosting. From the spectrum of server resource allocation, a dedicated host has an entire physical server allocated to a single individual to host a site. When the physical server is divided into sectional virtual servers, and each virtual section of the resources is allotted to different individuals it is called VPS hosting. And lastly, when each of the sectional virtual servers isn’t managed by one person it is known as shared hosting. I hope the concept is now simple and understood.
