Apache and Hello world
Serie: Sharedhosting to VPS. Create date: 09-09-2017
In this blog I am going to configure my first website and print “Hello world” on a web page. As mentioned in my first blog, I have done this in the past but with Webmin.

How to start with a VPS?
Serie: Sharedhosting to VPS. Create date: 14-08-2017
In this series I’m going to migrate my shared hosting website to a VPS. One of my weaker points is the network and sysadmin stuff. A reason for this is that all servers at my work are managed by a different company and if there is anything network related for our department this is usually done by the developers which have sysadmin knowledge from previous jobs. So that’s the reason I want to start using a VPS instead of a normal shared hosting account. Off course this has a lot more advantages but it’s also a nice opportunity to learn some sysadmin things. So beware, this is my first time I’m going to use a VPS. Please send me a mail if you read something stupid, this could also be a writing error because my English is not that great. This series is also a nice documentation for myself if I need to repeat things in the future. [read more]
