[HELP] Bought a VPS... and now stuck.

[indianfreak]

I know this will sound funny, and I'm ready to laugh with you because I know I was stupid.

I have 10 money making websites, all using wordpress cms, all using older versions of PHP and all hosted on shared hosting. For the last couple of years, I was being suggested to use VPS and this year I decided to go for it. BF deal helped me make this decision.

Now I think I was wise enough to go for a VPS, but definitely fool enough not to be prepared for it.

I'm trying to learn using tutorials and have come to the conclusion that I need:

- a docker for each website
- each docker should have ngnix, mariadb, PHP 5.3, PHP 7.0 (for future update) and wordpress

I just don't know how to do it. Can anyone help me out? I don't want someone to do it for me, I want to learn how to do it myself. I'm ready to pay reasonable amount to my mentor.

If he learns himself, it is only through self-development, and if someone else is better to hire a good encoder and let it work.

Just install Virtualmin or Vestacp. This will automatically install Apache, MySQL, and other applications required to run your WP site.

No no no, you don't need Docker. As suggested anove, install VestaCP, it is lightweight, 100% noob friendly, and automates almost all work for you. If you run WordPress, you won't even have to write a single line of code in the console.... just add your domains, set up email accounts, and you are fine. And its very easy to install it too. Can't recommend enough.

Yes, I don't have cPanel, will try VestaCP. Thank you so much for your offer, I really appreciate it. People like you make this forum a great place for all of us.

But, instead of doing it for me, can you please provide me a series of commands and let me try to work it out.

Thanks once again for your generosity.

Yep, I bought the VPS from ssdnodes, and am going through the tutorials there, but I can't figure out how to install two versions of PHP in that tutorial.

They have a console command generator on their website. You just click some checkboxes to mark what you need to have in your panel and BAM - it gives you are ready to use console command to install the panel. You just copy-paste it into the console of your VPS and have it online in a few minutes. Don't share your server credentials with anyone, esp. if you are a Linux newbie.

Yes, I want to learn myself and going through the self-development path, otherwise I'll always be dependent on the encoder for updates etc.

Thank you so much. I'll try using Virtualmin or Vestacp.

Okay, thank you SO much. I'll try this method and will come back to you if I have some doubts. Can I?

Moving from shared hosting to VPS can be a nightmare if you dont be very careful. After ALL it's your money blogs. I suggest you to pay a pro but also follow his/her steps and ask about regular troubleshootings.

It's not a bad move at ALL. Most of my sites are running on VPS and I dont look back.

Thank you so much for the recommendation. Will it be possible to use different PHP versions for different sites though the panel?

Yes, you're right. This will be my last option, I still have my sites on shared hosting, I wanted to try first with a new site, learn the ins-and-outs and then start with my money sites. BTW, I do have a little working knowledge of UNIX, learned quite back along with C, when C was the in-thing.

Thank you so much for the recommendation. Will it be possible to use different PHP versions for different sites though the panel?

Yes, to have different versions of PHP for diff sites you will have to edit Apache's config file from within the panel by adding one extra string to indicate the exact version to be used. And obviously you will have to install the 2nd version manually, since Vesta installs only one single version by default.
