Description

We can also host our applications on our own web servers.

In the next few lessons, we will provision our own internet connected server, where we will install Nginx, point a domain name and bind an SSL certificate.

I will use a Linux server with the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS operating system using Digital Ocean (FREE $200 - 60 Day Credit) as the cloud provider.

Alternatively, I also have a Hetzner Cloud coupon where you will receive €20 in FREE credits for new registrations.

You can also use other internet connected servers from many different cloud providers, such as GCP, Azure, AWS, Vultr and many more.

On Digital Ocean, I will use an Ubuntu 24.04 64 bit LTS on a Basic plan $4 a month Regular SSD server.

Connect using an SSH client

On Windows we can use Putty as our SSH client. SSH means 'Secure Shell'.

Download and Install Putty, and then configure your server details into the Session configuration page.

And then connect.
