how is that fee?
I followed your video tutorial and setup a wordpress website. However when I tried to install a plugin, it asked for ftp credentials to the webserver. Please how do I setup ftp for the webserver?
Can I use a custom domain for this site? Thanks
we face this error when we try to enable public access to our bucket to host react js website after uploaded files on cloud storage. IAM policy update failed
The 'Domain Restricted Sharing' organization policy (constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains) is enforced. Only principals in allowed domains can be added as principals in the policy. Correct the principal emails and try again. Learn more about domain restricted sharing.
Request ID: 17319325159077033469 post a video regarding this issue to fix it…
For Ubuntu 22.04: After installing tasksel, to install lamp you need to do it with apt: "apt install lamp-server^" Please mind the ^ at the end.
Thank you for this useful hosting info! Ive tried DreamHost and Hostinger, but Cloudways with TST20 couppon is the actual gem.
Any chance of creating a new video using Ubuntu 22.04.2? The TaskSel in 22.04 is almost not existent or it hasn't got LAMP stack offerings with PhP 8.1.x or 8.2.x. Oracle had Free versions but registration has now become very strict in that it is actively rejecting credit cards on false pretences. Azure is a serious case but very few videos.
how much will cost for 10 websites with total 500K per day of visitors .
hi exelent, caan you coment about other free tier companys
Why not use a prepared wordpress image, like the ones from Bitnami or similar, skipping most of the app setup, including the insecure bits?
This worked incredibly well! I can finally play it thanks

Is there a company with an Ireland location where the server is in the country Ireland?
All the people saying how good of tutorial this is all seem to have some experience in PHP, Python, or general experience in coding. For everyone else including those who have Linux experience(like myself), it is useless and confusing. It doesn't explain anything that's actually going on(or even why its being done), nor would it explain how to even maintain the server after it's setup, AND he's skipping over entire command prompts assuming the viewer understands how to access certain things(like the configuration file for instance). 14:00–14:04, he just does a jumpcut straight to the editing of the config file for no reason as if this was somehow trivial. Really??? Not good at all.
is this still valid today?
great!
🌻Hai..! Guy..
Thanks for the video… I'm off 't' go 'n' try it I believe it's goin'eo work for me too… Okay..!
