this is actually so amazing i love that he’s branching out and doing what (i hope) he wants
I love making videos, and always jump around a bit. Being in the field for 20 years, there is still so much to go over that I get bogged down with what videos to make. It helps me to just get on Patreon and just post all the ideas and see which ones everyone wants to see.
Chris Titus Tech that makes sense and is very true, i love doing stuff in the tech field i mostly do software developement and recently switched to linux because of your videos andd they made it a lot easier
Chris. Thanks for the great video(s). This one’s just exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I can’t believe I’ve put off getting started with WordPress for about a year just because I didn’t quite know how to get started. Now, if I could just get you to pause a couple of seconds (on each of your videos) between the time you complete a command line in the terminal and when you press enter, I would be ecstatic.
Thanks for all of your great videos, Chris. They are really appreciated.
Thanks Chris for this awesome video. You helped me get my first ever website set up!
Just for clarification, TTL stands for Time To Live, it's the maximum possible time a cached version of this record can be available for before it needs to be retrieved again from the authoritative servers (your domain nameservers). Note that caching nameservers (like that run with your ISP, shared ones like 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, and also the local cache DNS server on local ubuntu installs) do not call back after that time, it goes and retrieves once requested by a client requesting it from them, and then saves it to it's cache database.
Perfect explanation
Wow, awsome, was looking for something like this for a while. Thanks Titus !
*Squarespace had left the chat*
Great video, thanks for sharing. One thing I noticed. After installing WordPress, I still got the default Apache page.
I had to rm index.html to force the WordPress index.php to load instead.
I was using Ubuntu server 18.04.3 LTS on a VM to test this out.
Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Thank you, Chris. Saved the video.
Very cool to see how ro do so much from the terminal, I had some deeper experience with WP, including customizing my own themes, but have always done the setup from the GUI.
cool stuff :-) have a great one Chris thanks a bunch !!!
Great video and well explained. Would love to see more
I got a domainname as a birthday gift from my friends about 10 years ago.
Still using it and actually hosting my own email server at home.
Getting that to work properly (spf, DKIM) and securing it (spamassassin, clamav, fail2ban, spamcop/haus rbl, letsencrypt etc) has really tought me a lot.
Using letsencrypt with the dns plugin to request both named host certificates and wildcard ones, can also be a good video subject I think...
This helped me a lot! Thanks sir.
Wow... you saved me a good number of hours.. thank you.
04:46 why not deploy a server and install some open source control panels, like vestacp for example and boom, everything just works kind of procedure??!!
I think it would be great, kindly share your thoughts about it.
So far the best video I found here on YT, but I have a question. What's the process to install add a new domain and to install one more WP site on VPS or more? Thanks!
Thanks Chris nice video!would love to see similar video but setting up nextcloud on a vps?
But with redis too! For performance
Certainly Kevin!
Chris Titus Tech thank you look forward to it
On FreeBSD, it is just 'sudo pkg install nextcloud-php73' then run through the setup process. I imagine it is something very similar on most linux distributions. Ubuntu has a snap package which makes it easier to install, but not necessarily easier to customise the installation afterwards.
Katrina Bryce sure it is simple but not been i Linux person a video would help. I did try an install on my hostgator and got it to work to a point but wouldn’t upload any big files. Saw Chris do this vid and new he has done next cloud before so fingers crossed. Thanks for advise
is it possible to have managed VPS services for all that you are doing Chris? Cause I suspect that on on incompatible updates many problems will occur! How do we overcome this?
I thought for sure you would be showing us where to mine for raw metals and silicone. Then show us how to put in place a server infrastructure. I really hoped you would walk us through the process of programming a server OS, browser and text editor as well. But no! No! You had to make a sensible video.
We must use the Microsoft Commercial Internet System 1.0 :) The only real ( LMAO ) system out there :)
Actually i can't stop laughing cause i was thinking his ganna show me a normal screen not computer language. I love it but i don't understand everything
Hi. If a non-technical person planning to use a VPS for wordpress hosting, is there any control panels that comes with a VPS that can be used do all this?,,,thanks
Cool video! I'll have to remember NameCheap and Upcloud. They look like they'd be good to have if I ever wanted to get back into website building. :)
infinityfree.net and they give you a sub-domain name all for free. Building a site there is a snap.
Just curious, not trying to hate or anything, why not just use something like squarespace or wix? (Personally have used both, had a great experience with both)
One thing that got left out when I followed the instructions was after installing wordpress to delete the index.html that apache uses in the /html directory. Thank you so much! I enjoyed getting my hands on the back end! Wait... What?
While setting up the firewall. Don't you need to set the default rule to drop and not to accept?
Brilliant video exactly what I was looking for - but dont you get these services for free with hosts like Godaddy and dynadot?
Also what would I need to do to switch to mongodb? Using json to so much easier and diverse as a database.
Thoroughly informative. I'm new to VPS and I'm keen to learn. But this is the second video I've seen that promotes WP. Can I not just use a regular HTML site on a VPS system?
Yes, you can!
Thanks for making this video. For email which client do you use and which is the best? I don't like to use Gmail as client as it's not open source
Tricky subject to cover as I currently don't have one I enjoy.
@ 6:46 you ping and the ip you entered comes up allot. I have followed what you have done and when I ping it displays a different ip I do not know about. idk
Thanks for the video.
can you use wsl instead of putty?
Nice. Can I use JBOSS app server installed ? Then install Java based eCommerce web app??
Great vid. However on the firewall, I could be mistaken but shouldn't port 22 be Target not Source? (I know you're more Hugo than WP these days.)
To make it easier. Download the bitnami wordpress stack for win/linux. Build your site locally on your pc, then load Duplicator plugin and just upload your website to your server. This way you skip 80% of the terminal stuff in the vid. All your passwords and database will be automatically set for you after upload, and your site will work as normal.
Interesting, I going to learn more about this, I have around 10 domains hosted on a VPS service and maybe Upcloud can do the job, but i have to see how much will be the cost
BTW, SSL certificate installation and "where to buy," will be good for a future video. now is important have SSL in any website
I'm a cheapskate! letsencrypt.org is free and works for me ;)
@@ChrisTitusTech Nothing wrong with free services that work well. I mean me and you (and probably most of us on the channel) are using mostly FOSS software
Who changed the Ubuntu repositories mirrors? Why is 32 bit architecture enabled?
Can you make a video showing or explaining if .NET core websites work in netlify, as there seems to be free hosting for .net application websites
Great video. Thanks
Chris the link for namecheap-ctt doesn't work !
I'm really confused, why was everything from 7:20 onwards done? Why not just use hostgator and install wordpress from there?
Hmmm I actually could have done everything there but the mysql stuff. I really should try using the terminal more when I get my computer built
What distro are you currently using?
Edit: Oh I see you are using, my bad lol.
I am stuck. After installing and when trying to access my homepage it takes me to the apache2 Ubuntu default page. Any suggestions?
I was hoping it would include SSL for a complete install. I don't do WordPress install so I am sure I don't know what I am talking about. But, why did the MySQL user get full access to all tables in the database? Would it not be better to only give that user permission to the table it needs? Only give it the least permission, not the most permission? Overall, I found this very informative and I enjoy your videos. I hope to see a video that goes over the SSL part of this site.
exactly, i want to see an SSL certificate installation, Let'sencrypt is free, make a tutorial of it.
Ansible video? Anyone? 😁 I love your channel dude.
Certainly, as long as I don't have to explain puppet I'm game.
great video - please consider attaching notes of what you did to a detailed video like this - thanks - old tony
I use window so I use putty but my connections times out what is the fix?
This was a great tutorial. Keep the videos coming!
What about SSL?
also for wordpress you are doing it the hard way just go to your domain/install/ and you can enter the database info there and install it and it will do the config for you
Thanks, Chris -- that video was super helpful, and interesting too. ... Could you make a video sometime that solves this problem -- We have put a Wordpress website on our VPS, and now we want to add a free SSL certificate, to make the site secure by https.
Whats the advantage between this setup vs opening a page directly from Wordpress?
You have more control and much more things to do in vps than wordpress directly
Cool video once more 👍
I prefer nginx though instead of apache.
the price difference on these vps' are weird, the cheapest i can find in my country is around 57 $ a month and it only gives you a max of 1 gb ram xD
57$ for a vps ??? that can't be right can it ?
I highly recommend using cloudflare for DNS
In addition if you use the cloudflare front end and CDN, it will make it so that visitors interact with the clouds flare up instead of yours.
Doesnt Wordpress show a config webpage for setting up the database if you go on your website for the first time ?
yes it does ... chris is doing it all the hard way .. there is a easier and way better way then he is showing here
how can we secure the website... i mean setup ssl
great video - i am trying to take notes on the video & when i press pause a red line blocks the bottom where the action is and it is difficult to follow -but it is great content - old tony
it worked - needed some help from both nameCheap & UpLoad - but the help was good - made notes carefully watching Chris's video & all worked well - Thanks Chris - Old tony
You always forget about FTP connection why ? we can't install plugins and themes without them 😕
If I'm looking to setup a name I probably don't have an account setup like you do...so y would u start talking about dns and managing that name etc?
+1 for namecheap
So I came here to see how to register a name for a website, all was going good until 2:24 when he jumps right in to managing a domain, that he already created...??? Confusing going to look elsewhere to see a simple step by step guide on how to register a website name
For those wondering how to get WordPress type "cd /var/www/html
", then do wget. Hopefully that helps. Figured some new people using putty will not know how to change directories.
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongP@55word'' at line 1
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVIEGES ON db_name.* TO 'wpuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Does someone know how to fix this?
The commands changed in the latest version of MySQL and you can no longer create a user and a database in the same command. Use the two commands below.
CREATE USER 'wpuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'wpuser'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
@@pcwzrd13 The second line doesnt work out for me :(
Chris I need some help choosing the vps provider because I was searching for reviews and found this funny website www. trustpilot.com and if you give a look it's like hell for vps provider's, I searched for linode, upcloud and digital ocean and it's so confusing. What should I do?
Great video and well explained as usual.
thank you
So now I have all the info to DDOS your fake site! Just kidding (I don't condone illegal hacking).
Great video Chris!!! I love wordpress so much, makes websites easy.
@Donald Mickunas I know that. if he was gonna keep this around we wouldn't blast all the info online LOL
Crear video like always
If I use a SSH Key is it safe to leave SSH open?
should be, but disable Password Authentication in the ssh config
Skysilk which you recommend previously seem to be having better pricing than this.
They do, but they are only US based.
After deleting the WP-Install you could have put there a Default Page with some Ads.
You also didn't install SSL which actually should be installed because the WordPress password could be stolen without it allowing a hacker to chang the website.
If anyone is doing this from windows, command prompt also has ssh, it works the same
So far I've hosted from 000Webhost and acquired free domain names from Freenom. Then linking the DNS from 000Webhost to the Freenom domain.
Allot of pc people make fun of word press websites So what are the other option? Also I don't like the wordpress all over the site
really 236kb/s speed on upgrade thats pretty slow cloud services
I last week bought a domain with porkbun and set-up a email forward with then and changed my email identity within my email provider.
So now if someone sends mail to myname@mydomain com it gets forwarded to my inbox, and if I send an email from my gmail, hotmail (or any email provider I choose in the future) it all looks like it comes from myname@mydomain com.
I'm thinking of getting posteo, protonmail or hosting it in a vps or myself. (leaning to posteo)
The best think is I can just keep giving and using the same address and noone will notice.
I'm also linking the domain to the [username] github io repo on my github which displays a site if you put an index.html file in there.
This video is basically perfect timing. Thanks.
Thank you. I don't want to use plesk and cpanel
Actually i can't stop laughing cause i was thinking his ganna show me a normal screen not computer language. I love it but i don't understand everything AHAHAHA
God godaddy was the best (i don't watch to much normal tv now so i dunno if they're still up to their old shenanigans) They lure you in with a sexy girl on girl cop scene, and the be like "oh btw are you interested in hosting some websites?"
I used GoNaddy for years... until they went to shit about 10 yrs ago, they started by getting rid of email support. So now I'm just with google... well, the hosting kinda blows, but it's "free" and domains are $12.
Bitnami , they have so many great pre-built stacks on this site. By running the file it completely installs and configures everything in 'snap' like fashion. You can get single/multi tier appliances , win/mac/linux appliances, Docker containers and VHD's that you can just spin-up in Vbox. After the install it will tell you what port your service is running on, you can make changes when accessing your appliance. www.bitnami.com ---> appliances ---> app catalog.
wget bitnami.com/stack/wordpress/installer
chmod +x wordpress_installer.run
./wordpress_installer.run
Thats the extent of it + all of the domain/dns configs Chris does in the beginning of the video. Unless your hosting locally.
*You can also set up a website for free on AWS and AZURE 12 month free trial. And you get a variety of programming framework to developers on ...Django, PHP, NODEJS. .... including stacks like MEAN and LAMP stack....* 👍👍👍 😊
Yup, those are also the biggest names in the cloud server business.
Terry Chootiyaa or we can just boycott to use any amazon product due to the greed, mean and dishonest of their business model.
I think your webserver is not really secure. Remove rootlogin, add new user, disallow password access and use keys f.e. But anybody wants a basic site and mail better buy some cheapo shared hosting.
I highly suggest nginx
Single

Humbucker
I just change the nameserver to cloudflare.... #Secure
I can just almost bet that Go Daddy is not a sponsor her?
just download Plesk with ubuntu byol and do everything only takes 1 minutes men comon :D
Most of the big ones you named are owned by GoDaddy.
Website from scratch:
1) Open vi and type in the html of your webpage
2)
...uh.. where did the Mac users go?
The side of your screen is so big thus producing small font and screen compression so that everything you type is unreadable. Though you said you were going to do DNS you really only did a change on one record and skipped everything else. I rank your style and implementation lacking and realize it's a waste of my time. I rank this video sloppy at best
Please be carefull with websites like upcloud. You get a 73 hour trial once is over you willl get charged for your website. Its ok if you have a real site but if you are following the tutorial its not good.
Don't use name cheap, use Google domains. Cheaper and better. Domains.google.com. It's. It's tied to your Google account and is easy to manage.
Nope it looks cool but this is more expensive and google is reseller. I won't go into Google part of this as well... Namecheap is far better. First year of name cheap us $1 for a .com that one is $12.
@@ChrisTitusTech or freenom for a free .tk and free renew every 12 months
