Big thanks for this website hosting guide! Ive experienced DreamHost and Hostinger, but Cloudways with TST20 couppon is the true wallet-saver.
Just a quick note, instead of doing all the extra processes to get a SSL/TSL certificate could be avoided if cloudflare was being used as its auto generated.
(I personally use tunnels [docker])
Is all data securely encrypted in this setup?
In your wordpress.conf config file why did you separate the /var/www/wordpress/ and /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/ directories within two separate <Directory> </Directory> tags as in ; <VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/wordpress
<Directory /var/www/wordpress>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
DirectoryIndex index.php
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/wordpress/wp-content>
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Using your way of setting up WordPress. How do I increase the wp file size limit?
All perfect, as usual an amazing tutorial.
The only problem I have … is that I use pfSense and HAproxy [on Proxmox pve] and the WEB of Worpress via DNS doesn't display the graphics but only the texts … can someone give me indications of what I must do in HAproxy of pfSense to correct this important point? 😕

Thanks for this awesome video. Please make a video showing how to host multiple WordPress sites on a single server.
that little certbot nugget at the end was awesome~
Another well put together tutorial, I installed this on a proxmox container and worked great. When I did the wordpress health check it noted that Imagick for PHP was not active. Didn't break anything but once I installed it the alert disapeared. Thanks again.
great tutorial! are there any security concerns with using "wordpress_user" as the wordpress username?
Thank you
good
I stoped my wordpress server and now i can't relogin on it why?
You always do amazing work. I was wondering if you can do a video on adding of securing your sites on a Reverse Proxy Server (I have 4 separate server).
Thanks
So how did you manage to access this server IP with just setting its hostname to a subdomain of your main domain in the server side? ( I'm a beginner here so an explanation or tutorial will be helpful 😅)
there's an error in your tutorial , you've got 'sudo -R chown www-data:www-data wordpress' instead of 'sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wordpress' 😉
Perfect, how great you can teach and explain all those necessary steps. I learn so much, not only in this exact video. Thank you.
