Creando un VPS

How to create a VPS to install your project?

Building a Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a crucial step for any web project. Here's how to do it in a simple way, using a cloud management console.

How do I create a cloud instance?

Starting a VPS in the cloud requires a series of easy-to-follow steps:

1. Select the appropriate console: Go to the console where you manage cloud instances and choose to create a new instance. In this case, we will select the Oregon region for our server.

2. Choose the server type: We will opt for a Linux type instance, which is perfect for projects that require stability and compatibility.

3. Install the operating system: We will choose Ubuntu as our base operating system. It is a popular choice due to its reliability and widespread support.

4. Configure the SSH keys: It is recommended to download the default key, which is usually in .pem format. This will ensure a secure connection to the VPS.

5. Choose the right server: It is recommended to start with a basic server in order not to consume too many resources and we can name it, for example, "Platzi Placel 1".

How to configure the VPS correctly?

• Assign a name to the instance: It is important to give a recognizable name to your instance to facilitate its management. In this example, we name it "Platzi Placel 1".

• Prepare the connection: After creating the instance, you will get an IP address. This address will be crucial to connect to and manage your server.

This process ensures that you have a solid base to install the necessary applications. Remember that once the instance is ready, you can proceed with the installation of your project. Always keep your SSH keys secure and practice the initial configuration correctly so that you don't have any setbacks in the future. Your server is almost ready to receive your project!
