I’ve been seeing this types of questions a lot in WHT<\/a>. People who outgrew their shared hosting plans but not sure of upgrading to VPS or dedicated server because they’re not technical enough.<\/p>\n Usually the advice they got is to go for a managed provider, which is of course, a great option, especially if you have more money than time.<\/p>\n But this guide is for people who wants to squeeze what little money they can save by going with self-managed providers.<\/p>\n And don’t want to deal with command line. And, don’t want to pay for a cPanel license. Or bother to learn about free, open source panel like webmin<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, you’ve got your VPS. It’s nice. It’s got 2GB RAM, a dedicated CPU core, and a nice flashy SSD. Raw-performance wise, it’s probably four times better than what you’ll get from a shared hosting plan.<\/p>\n What do you do, then? You’ve never dealt with a command line before. You don’t know the difference between nginx, apache or what version of PHP to use.<\/p>\n And you don’t need the server for fancy, django powered Node.JS behemoth of an app. You just want to run a wordpress site (or several).<\/p>\n Well, have you met Server Pilot<\/a> before?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, Server Pilot advertised themselves as a companion to a Digital Ocean droplets. I’m not sure if that is an attempt to get an acquisition offer but it will 100% work with other VPS providers as well. I’ve tested it.<\/p>\nHere We Go<\/h2>\n
