Websplaining
In this video, I will show you how to make your first cloud server or Virtual Private Server also known as a VPS. This guide will be beginner friendly and will take you step by step through the process of picking one of the below VPS providers, creating an account as a first time user to get some free cloud credits, configuring your cloud server, and lastly connecting to your server via the SSH protocol using an SSH client. Cloud servers are virtual private servers running on a cloud computing environment and can be accessed on demand with valid permissions that were set up by the root user during the server setup process. Cloud servers run and perform just like their physical counter part and perform tasks such as data storage and running applications. They also have a very distinct customer advantage over their physical counter part, they can be upgraded on the fly at the click of a button on the cloud server hosts providers dashboard.
