Build your own WordPress Website

What you’d need:

• Domain Name
• VPS Server

---

I recommend you to use CloudFlare proxy your server. It will prevent DDoS attacks based on Domain Names. It is free.

Follow the tutorial on it and add your domain name to cloudflare.

After setting up cloudflare, you should also set up the A record on it.

In Cloudflare Dashboard, click “DNS Record”.

Add Record.

Add these two A Records. And you’re all set. Caution not to leak your VPS IP address, otherwise DDoS attackers might attack by using IP. After all, wait for 10~60 minutes for the DNS Record been added on your region’s DNS server.

Install a server panel ( I will use aapanel as an example here, but it depends on you.)

Install Script:

URL=https://www.aapanel.com/script/install_7.0_en.sh && if [ -f /usr/bin/curl ];then curl -ksSO "$URL" ;else wget --no-check-certificate -O install_7.0_en.sh "$URL";fi;bash install_7.0_en.sh forum

Install as root user

root@vultr:~# URL=https://www.aapanel.com/script/install_7.0_en.sh && if [ -f /usr/bin/curl ];then curl -ksSO "$URL" ;else wget --no-check-certificate -O install_7.0_en.sh "$URL";fi;bash install_7.0_en.sh forum

Do you want to install aaPanel to the /www directory now?(y/n):

If you use a normal user to execute the installation script, you will get the following prompt

aapanel@vultr:~$ URL=https://www.aapanel.com/script/install_7.0_en.sh && if [ -f /usr/bin/curl ];then curl -ksSO "$URL" ;else wget --no-check-certificate -O install_7.0_en.sh "$URL";fi;bash install_7.0_en.sh forum
Non-root install, please try the following solutions: 
   1.Please switch to [root] user install 
   2.Try executing the following install commands: 
     sudo bash install_7.0_en.sh forum 
aapanel@vultr:~$

You can use sudo -i or su command to switch to root user.
