How To Make a Website: A Wordpress.org Blog in 10 minutes for $5/month

A wordpress.org blog is created with hosting on a Linode virtual private server (VPS) in less than 10 minutes. I show how to create a website which includes: A "one-click" VPS+Wordpress setup, attaching the domain name to the IP & setting up free https (SSL) using Certbot (letsencrypt). I teach by example: I set up my very own Wordpress.org site for grokshop.tv. This is my first experience with Wordpress or Wordpress.org, however I have many years of professional website development experience & know how to make a website in many different ways. This solution is "unmanaged", so basically that means - they won't hold your hand much or at all. But, its also generally cheaper than a manged solution. If you need any help, you can ask me here in the comments or contact me directly here or at my (new!) website for help :O)

Do you need a different Linode setup ($5/month) for each Website? You cannot use the same IPv4 address to point different domains to it and have more than 1 website running on the server?

Hey, how can I host another WordPress website on this same server?

[@acky3000]

whats the difference between "unmanaged" and "managed" solution please?

[@grokshop]

Generally, managed means the provider handles the server-related issues and you just worry about the app(s). For un-managed, you can usually still get basic support, but its on you to setup the server, & manage server config & updates.
