\n With VPS (Virtual private server) we get more power and full control for quite equal price in comparing with shared hostings. It started from 5$ per month<\/strong> (e.g. Contabo<\/a> or Server4You<\/a>). The main disadvantage from shared hostings is requiring installation and configuration.\n<\/p>\n

\n It looks complicated but it contains only 3 main steps<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Choose and setup server<\/strong><\/a>\n<\/li>\n
  2. Install and configure control panel<\/strong><\/a>\n<\/li>\n
  3. Deploy WordPress<\/strong><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/a>Choose and setup server
    \n<\/h2>\n

    \n Just choose any liked provider and server type. We recommend to use next providers due to good prices and given power: Contabo<\/strong><\/a> (excellent combination of price and German\u2019s quality, and many awards<\/a>), Server4You<\/strong><\/a> (Europe and USA region), OVHCloud<\/strong><\/a>, Hostens<\/strong><\/a>, CloudWays<\/strong><\/a> (Linode<\/a> is recommended for India region), MakeCloud<\/strong><\/a> (Asia and Russia region).\n<\/p>\n

    \n Let\u2019s look at the process in Contabo<\/strong><\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n
    2. \n
    3. \n Do payment<\/strong> (note that the server installation fee depends on the selected payment period).\n<\/li>\n
    4. <\/a>Now, wait for a letter<\/strong> from Contabo about the completion of the installation and server\u2019s IP address<\/strong>. Now you have become the owner of a VPS server!\n<\/li>\n
    5. \n
      \n Finally, set the new server\u2019s IP address<\/strong> for our site name.\n <\/div>\n
        \n
      1. \n
      2. \n
        <\/a>Below is how DNS adjusting<\/strong> can be done via CloudFlare for site mysite.com<\/strong> in DNS settings.\n <\/div>\n

        \n \"cloudflare-site-dns-change-ip\"\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        <\/a>Install and configure control panel
        \n<\/h2>\n

        To save money<\/strong>, we will install popular free aaPanel<\/strong><\/a> that it is very powerful and flexible. FastPanel<\/a> is also free, but it has smaller features. Also, many hosting providers offer paid control panels like powerful cPanel<\/a> – it can be definitely used too.\n<\/p>\n

        <\/a>Install
        \n<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Run any SSH client<\/strong> (Mac<\/a>, Windows<\/a>), connect<\/strong> using server\u2019s IP address<\/a>, and login<\/strong> there using and root\u2019s login and password<\/a> that were setup while server installation.\n<\/li>\n
        2. \n
          Begin<\/strong> installation process by typing<\/strong> below command<\/strong> and pressing enter:\n <\/div>\n

          sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wget && sudo wget http:\/\/www.aapanel.com\/script\/install-ubuntu_6.0_en.sh && sudo bash install-ubuntu_6.0_en.sh<\/code>\n <\/p>\n

          \n During installation, please, type y<\/code> to the question Do you want to install aaPanel to the \/www directory now?(y\/n)<\/code> and type yes<\/code> to the question Do you need to enable the panel SSL? (yes\/n)<\/code>.\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        3. \n
          <\/a>After successful installation, information with a panel\u2019s Web-address<\/strong>, login<\/strong> and password<\/strong> for entering the control panel will be displayed<\/strong>, for example:\n <\/div>\n

          ==================================================================
          Congratulations! Installed successfully!

          password: ef1e70fe
          Warning:
          If you cannot access the panel,
          release the following port (7800|888|80|443|20|21) in the security group
