Excellent video. Although Google Cloud has many capabilities, I would choose Oracle Cloud for hosting a free WordPress website because of their provision of 200 GB storage, 1 GB memory, and an AMD processor under free tier.
Hi Tony, have been following you for quite some time. Thank you for your great work. I have hosted my website using GCP free credits, but now want to downgrade to minimize my monthly billing - could you help me know 1. How to move VM to a new region 2. Is it possible to host it for free in 2023 because of I don't see the free hours as of now based on your suggested steps Thank you!
Tony, I must tell you......you are just an amazing human being! What a great disposition, sir, you possess! I was reading your story on your website and I must confess .....it's so touching! God bless you, brother, and thank you so much for this video as it has helped me a whole ton with my website project! May the Lord bless you and your family! Thank you! Thank you!
DUDE! Please tell people HOW to save and get OUT of Vim! I thought it was like any other editor. Nope! It took me another 45 mins to finish the conf file! I learned something, though. Thanks, Tony! Good video.
LOL I'm sorry. I use vim all the time in my videos and forget to explain it. I think you figured it out by now, but for others, here's a basic vim tutorial ruclips.net/video/uE4aljoMBeg/видео.html
Seeing this comment has made my day! I have just spent an age looking for this too :D Otherwise a wonderful tutorial... and tbh I should have just watched the tutorial you suggested! Many thanks
*****This deserves an award! Here is man has got it together knows and owns the process . What he teaches works ! This is the go to place for web hosting set up look no further . Thanks you did a great job Mike
Sorry for not making that clear! I saved the file by typing the following... Esc :wq Enter Here's a video that will help you with the Vim text editor ruclips.net/video/uE4aljoMBeg/видео.html
Thank you. You installed a vm with Ubuntu IOS and assigned a domain name to it. It is good to use word press. But how about just a landing page. Can I just use my simple html and css file without wordpress?
You deserve a +1 subscribe and +1 like. Very good tutorial. I've been using GKE to deploy my stateful web app. Everything worked fine, except the .htaccess redirection. I was using Apache. I could not figure out how to solve this problem, for weeks! I tried your simpler solution to use google compute engine and everything works fine. Thanks.
This SSH command system is new to me. But learning is fun. We installed WordPress from SSH. But how do we back up our website? How to download it. And also tell us how to run the website by uploading any existing website data.
Nice tutorial! So the first month for this particular set of requirements is free but what about the second one and so on? Will it be free until 300USD in credits are gone?
thanks for a great tutorial. how i can upload a database backup to this created database..i mean i am migrating my web or where i can find phpmyadmin panel really appreciate your quick answer
It would be nice to specify in arears of you videos when a command is crucial the get the website working vs steps that are just preference. I chose not to get a domain name yet and hence would have appreciated if you clarified what people with the default ip Adress should be doing vs ones with names
Assuming you already have bought your domain from Google Domains, you'd simply go into the DNS settings for this domain (in Google Domains) and add an A record with the value of the IP address of your VM. That's it!
QQ is it possible to combine the hosting of multiple sites as in your other video? I have a bunch of friends and family sites on my VPS server so I looking for a cheaper way to park those WP sites.
Hi Tony, first I'd like to thank you you for great content videos. I would like to learn how to create a personal blog about health niche and would appreciate to learn it from you. Thank you. Have a great day. Christian
Hey, At 2:35 - I Saw there is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS & Minimal versions, does minimal installation improve server initial load times/ server load/ related factors?
is this still available from GCP ? I got to the the point that shows the "$5.08/month", but it doesn’t say anything about the first 744 hours being free.Not sure if I am doing something wrong or it is not available anymore.
Tony, thank you so much for creating this and many other easy to follow "techno-educational" videos! I am wondering if you can point me to a video or any other guidance on how can I host my spare MacBook Air (MBA) as a server for creating and running website (and other uses such as Postgres SQL server)? I understand that I need to get a static ip address to host the MBA server on the internetI, but am not able to find clear instructions anywhere.
How popular would a blog need to get to reach the free limits? I know it takes years of work to get a blog going but I am just thinking to save a headache later I can just pay for hosting now lol. My fear is Google Hosting might be expensive if I brake the free tier limits. Does anyone have an answer that isn't too techy. Like how many visitors to my site would make me go over the free tier bandwidth?
Hi Tony, thank you for making this video. Just one thing I need help with, can you explain how to 'save that file', as mentioned at 12.14. Not sure how to save and get back to the command line to continue the process.
The only difference is convenience. Doing it manually, you might get a more up-to-date version, but from the marketplace you can always upgrade the packages and eventually get to the same place.
Thank you Tony for this awesome video, after that for me it was relative easy to setup a google cloud vm. I use the e2 vm with 2pu+2gb ram, on Hesti apanel with apache-nginx. But my worldwide ttfb speed is slow between 500-900ms - I wonder this vm should be fast at 200ms what is wrong there? Have a nice day !
Hello, i have a LMS website my students can register and buy any course they want, but currently i'm using AWS s3 storage with s3bubble player to stream the video content through my website pages with a high level of security that block any one to download or screen record any video from the website. now i'm building a new website like the old one but i want to ask if google cloud storage offer the same layer of security the any one cannot download or screen record any video or image and do they offer "pay as you go" pricing for video streaming??

press esc and then type :w and hit enter. this will save the file. Next type :q! this will exit the editor and you'll be back in the browser terminal. I was stuck at the same part and I had to google how to save a VIM text file
i want to ask if the 3 month has been over so will google cloud will charge us the money or it will use from 300 credit because we are using as low as possible
Of all the 3 videos I watched you were by far the best, but wow, this is way too complicated for the regular user such as I; all i have is a small website for a non profit and right now I have it with GoDaddy. I have my pages within dreamweaver and it is easy to upload the files. Can anyone tell me, the Operating system under the boot disk, is it the operating system you are running on your computer, or their (google) operating system that will be hosting your page? Thanks
Great video! I'm a newbie and I was able to setup my vm in gcp successfully and accessing the website via the external IP also works. My problem is my Google domain never points to this IP. I tried using custom name servers based on the gcp-vm instance. But after three days of waiting for the propagation delay, the website still does not get accessed via the domain names. Help?

Sure thing! Procedure and free tier limitations remain unchanged as far as I know. Of course, packages that you install will likely be newer versions
This is an INSANE helpful tutorial! I think @google should add this to their tutorial database.
Thank you so much!

Nice tutorial! So the first month for this particular set of requirements is free but what about the second one and so on? Will it be free until 300USD in credits are gone?
If you choose the options that I choose in the video based on the Free Tier, you will never have to pay. It's free every month.
It looks like the free tier changed to E2, is going to make a difference between N1 and E2?
