Prerequisites
You will need a domain name to follow along in this guide. A subdomain is perfectly fine, in fact we will be using pluto.turnipjuice.media for this tutorial. You will also need access to update your domain’s DNS. We highly recommend using Cloudflare’s DNS service and they’re a pretty good place to buy domains too.
#Create a New DigitalOcean Droplet Web Server
In this tutorial I’m not going to go into detail on the initial VPS creation process, as DigitalOcean has their own doc. However, here are some things you should keep in mind when creating your new DigitalOcean Droplet:
- Select a Region and Datacenter that’s close to the majority of your audience so that the requests are fast for them. If your audience is evenly distributed across the globe, select a Region and Datacenter close to you.
- Choose Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) x64 as your OS.
- A Regular CPU will work fine for this tutorial. No need to go Premium.
- Select a server size with at least 2 GB of memory.
- Click the Password option under Choose Authentication Method.
Normally we would strongly encourage the use of an SSH key instead of a password, but we’ll be disabling the root login shortly, so using a secure password here for a short time is ok and makes things a little easier. - Check the box next to Add improved metrics monitoring and alerting (free).
- For the Hostname enter the domain or subdomain we discussed in the Prerequisites section above.
