How to Install WordPress on a VPS Using ServerPilot

Previously I had time to write a simple tutorial how to install WordPress in VPS digitalocen . In addition to the way it turns out there is another way much more simple, namely using ServerPilot.

What is ServerPilot?

ServerPilot is a web hosting service control panel just like CPanel just to use it we dont need to install it in our VPS.

We only need to connect the VPS we have to ServerPilot after that ServerPilot will automatically install some required software like PHP, MySQL, Nginx, and Apache.

And the coolest thing is that we can install WordPress on VPS automatically via ServerPilot control panel.

Please just look at the tutorial below.

# 1. Setting up Ubuntu VPS 14.04

Now blog is ready and my friend can access it using IP Address from VPS.

# 4. Connecting domains to DigitalOcean

In order for the blog can be accessed using a domain name, you need to connect your domain name to DigitalOcean.

Here is how.

Login to the DigitalOcean dashboard and go to the Networking menu and click on the Domains tab .

In the Domain input section of your domain name, and in the Droplet or Custom IP section select Droplet / VPS that has been connected to the previous ServerPilot.

Next live click the " Create Record "

For the domain to be accessed using WWW , you need to create a CNAME Record. How do I click on CNAME.

• In the Enter Name input WWW .
• In the Enter Hostname input symbol " @ "
• Click Create CNAME Record .

The next step we need to direct the Name Server domain we have to DigitalOcean.

If you use Namecheap, just login to the Namecheap dashboard, in theNAMESERVERS section select Custom and input Name Servers from DigitalOcean namely:

• Ns1.digitalocean.com
• Ns2.digitalocean.com
• Ns3.digitalocean.com

Wait for dns propagation process until your domain can be accessed, usually up to 24 hours.

If it is accessible then congratulations my friend SUCCESS to make WordPress blog on VPS.
