Oracle is a $230 billion company, and they have a free forever plan for their VPS alone, almost anyone using their servers to host websites for 0. For a month in this article, I'm going to show you exactly how to set everything up to setting up the server. First, go to the link in the description and click on the Get Started for Free button. Here you will need to fill some information about yourself and you must be accurate. It's a quick email, and credit card verification shouldn't be a big deal.
Keep in mind that your card will not be charged apart from the initial $1 which you will immediately get back once approved. This is your dashboard, as you can see here, it says I'm in the free tier and I won't be charged unless I click the upgrade button myself to get started. Click Create your virtual machine. You can call it whatever you want now. Next to Picture and Shape, click Edit, and then change the picture for this tutorial.
I'm going to use Canonical 222, so switch to that and use Amper for the shape. This will allow you to get the maximum amount of resources possible, so go ahead and opt for four cores and 24GB of RAM. Then click Select Shape. You'll also need to save your private key and your public key by clicking here now, then click generate and you'll get some IP addresses automatically assigned so we'll have to create again. Your VPS will now be created automatically as the service is provisioned.
This means that it is still fulfilled after some time. It will turn green and see running. This means that everything is working fine now, but at this point we only have an IP address to work with, so we will need to attach a domain name to it. To make ourselves look better and make it easier for us to control our website, we will do this by using our domain name system to point to a new record for this IP address. To do this, visit the hosting provider you purchased your domain name from and I will create a free subdomain.
It will be the page where I can control my server. You don't have to use subdomains, I just use subdomains, because they're free Next, go to your provider's audience area and search for subdomains. You've just created the Change Records to use the IP address of your free Oracle server, which you can find here, and set up the control panel. Now you will also need a way to communicate with our server. There is no UI, so we will have to use an SSD connection to get started, download this program from the link below, you will use PuTTY to talk and issue the Cod Master virtual machine, so once installed, you should have two programs on your computer called Open PuTTY Jane and PuTTY Both and remember those master keys.
We downloaded when we were creating our virtual machine, yes we will use these keys now to authenticate and prove that this is actually us. Administrator trying to connect to the server in Puty Gem, click Transfer, then import the key and navigate to the folder. Where you saved your private and public keys, find a file that ends with the key like this, then open it. This will convert the key into a format that py can understand, so click Save Private Key and save us under a different name. You can now close it.
We won't need it for the rest of this tutorial. Okay, it's time to connect to our server using py within the Oracle control panel. You will see your IP address and username. Your IP address in py also gives a name to this connection. It can be wherever you want and save it, so we can reuse it later without having to do all the steps again.
After that go to credentials here. You'll need to upload the private key file you saved from G-Putty and finally go back to Sessions and before typing your IP address into Ubuntu when you click open and accept this black window is great. This means that we have connected to our virtual machine and we can start installing things on it, type sudo, Su Dash, press and then swipe the code to download the desired software. You can just right swipe it, clicking and pressing enter to do all the comments, keep in mind that they will have all these comments in the description of this article. So don't worry, you don't have to write it by hand.
Just let the installation process finish until you see this purple screen, then press enter and enter again to release. All required updates now run another code, pass it and wait for the installation to finish, remember that it may take about 10 or 15 minutes to complete, and while everything is installed, we can use this time to open it Some ports will be necessary to connect to our control panel and website to do With that. Return to your Oracle dashboard and click Test Virtual Cloud. Then submodule and default security list, click Add increment rules and type this value and here is 0 on the port. This will open the FTP connections so we'll use that and we'll name them with each type.
Let's add another rule for HTTP. It's also 0.0.0, when it's taken care of. You will also need a port for the control panel with port 82443. Three Finally, let's add two FTP ports 20 and 21.
Then we have a bunch of other ports that you can see in the article, so just copy what I'm doing right. [, music] Now finally, at this point, the installation should be finished and you should see the screen type uh, restart for the changes to take effect, and you can just click OK. So if you see this error now, copy this ad together and using only a port by selecting it and passing it to a new tab to connect to your control panel, if everything is going correctly, you should see the SSL warning. This is completely normal. Just click Advanced and proceed here, you'll be able to create your own admin account for the cloud board, so sign out and log in, will you get into your board pocket, I promise from now on.
It will become much easier, no more working with commands, just a good old interface. Let's start by adding a named domain to this dashboard, so we don't have to use an IP address to connect every time, click admin, then settings and type in the domain you want to use. I used the subdomains that I created earlier. After saving it, you can use this domain name to access your control panel. It's much easier to remember than just a random IP address, so now, in order to install WordPress on our websites, click Add Sites and create a WordPress site type in your website.
The name you want again will use one of the subdomains. Installation is really fast. You will get this text document that contains all your login information. You can save it if you wish just make sure not to keep it like it is on your desktop or something easily accessible. Now, click “Manage” next to your site, and we will change some settings about updating to PHP 8.for version as well. Okay, so since the maximum file size and maximum here is up to five 512 MB as well, then click on the SSL SL DLS tab to add a free SSL certificate to your domain by selecting the new certificate book, let's encrypt it. At this point, you can access your WordPress website as usual, simply type your domain name, followed by SL and WP admin and use the login credentials that you have to create, while installing WordPress and now you can manage your website or private WordPress. Your website. However, you want all links used to be in the description box. Press the like button, subscribe to the notification bell, and share this article with your friends. Peace be upon you,
