More details

Description
This course will teach you how to host multiple WordPress sites on your very own Virtual Private Server,
This version of the course is based on Ubuntu 22.04, which is supported until April 2025 or April 2032 with the free Ubuntu Pro plan. This course also includes PHP8.1, which is up to 50% faster than previous versions of PHP.
Having issues with your current shared web host? With this course you can...
Say goodbye to shared hosting and one click WordPress installers!
Say goodbye to bad web hosts!
Say goodbye to terrible tech support that take days to solve issues
Say hello to the only WordPress course that is going to put YOU in true control of your server and your WordPress sites.
Say goodbye to bloated control panels filled with ads
As your site grows some shared hosts will throttle your site and sometimes even shut your site down if your site consumes to many resources. The more visitors you get, the more resources you are going to use. It ends badly, with your site income reduced to zero and your clients angry due to the downtime...
Shared hosting is designed for hosting static sites, not dynamic WordPress sites. Some of the main disadvantages of shared hosting:
you are sharing server resources with many other websites -Â this causes slow loading times and poor performance if other sites on the server are using too many resources.
if another site on the server is hacked, it could potentially affect your site as well.
you are limited by the amount of customization you can do with your site.
What's the solution?
The solution is to move your WordPress hosting to a Virtual Private Server. If you need more control over your website's performance, security, and customization, you need to consider a VPS hosting.
Some of the main advantages of VPS hosting:
With VPS hosting, you have dedicated resources that are not shared with other users, which ensures that your website is not affected by the activities of other websites on the server and due to this you experience better performance.
VPS hosting allows you to customize your server environment to meet your specific needs - Redis and Memcached are just two examples
VPS hosting is scalable, you can easily increase or decrease the resources allocated to your server depending on your needs.
VPS hosting is more secure compared to shared hosting because your resources are isolated from other users on the server. This reduces the risk of your website being affected by security vulnerabilities in other websites on the server.
What this course offers?
When you take this course, you will soon realize and wonder why it took you so long to move your WordPress sites from shared hosting to an unmanaged VPS. Please don't let the word unmanaged scare you. An unmanaged VPS simply means the host keeps the network connected and the host node running, you are in control and responsible for everything else on the server. I'll guide you, step by step through the process of setting up an unmanaged VPS and then I'll also be guiding you through setting up WordPress on that VPS.
Never used the command line before? Never edited a configuration file before? No problem, I will teach you and provide you with the knowledge you need.
I cover all aspects, no matter if you are using Windows or MACOSX. We will download the software, I'll show you how to install and configure the software and most important how to use the software. Prior to each section, I'll explain what we are doing, why we are doing it and in plain easy to understand English. You won't find any long and boring PowerPoint presentations and minute after minute looking at me talking to the camera. It's us and the command line, nothing else. The command line is easy to use, just think of terminal as a very basic word processor. I'll be there guiding you step by step.
This course is based on using Apache as your web server for the following reasons:
more compatible with different web applications and plugins, including those used by WordPress.
.htaccess files makes it easier to make changes to a WordPress site without needing to have access to the server configuration.
has a more user-friendly configuration process, this is a huge advantage for those who are not experienced server administrators.
large ecosystem easier to find support when you need it.
One of the most important and often overlooked aspects of this course is that you will be able to use the knowledge gained from this course to add to your monthly income.
You can do this by:
offer and charge for various services on freelancing sites
offer existing clients additional services for a recurring monthly fee
offer new clients services for a recurring monthly fee, you can now offer hosting instead of just design services.
Sign up for this course and start that journey to becoming the server administrator of your own servers and sites...

I am Andrew Eaton. I'm former IT lecturer that specialized in programming, databases and systems analysis.Part of my job involved breaking down and explaining complex technical detail to students. My policy was to try and use only technical detail if it was absolutely necessary to help the students understand the point. I've adopted the same style with my Udemy Courses, I'll use clear concise English, trying to keep the technical terms to an absolute minimum.My current full time job is administering my 100+ WordPress sites that are hosted on various servers around the world. All my sites are hosted on unmanaged virtual private servers or dedicated servers.
