Many hosting options are available for WordPress, but one of the more popular options for developers is using a VPS or virtual private server. VPS services like Digital Ocean, Amazon EC2, and Google Cloud cost a fraction of more traditional managed hosting, with the benefit of controlling your server.

The downside is that you must know your way around server management, including keeping it secure. Fortunately, a wide variety of knowledge is available to guide you through the process.

Over the next couple of live streams, I’ll explain how to set up and manage your own WordPress VPS. We’ll cover the initial server configuration, installing WordPress in both single-site and multi-site installs, different web server software options and configurations, and some security and maintenance best practices.

We covered the initial server setup using Apache and Nginx in the first two streams. This stream will cover installing and configuring OpenLiteSpeed as the web server software.
