When you want to setup your web server, you have a few different options.\r\n\r\nThe first is shared hosting, which is very cheap but does not provide a lot of flexibility.\r\n\r\nOn the other end of the spectrum, you could rent or buy your own server and have it hosted. The problem is that this will cost quite a lot of money, and give you a lot of pain and frustration as you try to manage it.\r\n\r\nIn between is a VPS - Virtual Private Server. It offers all of the benefits of owning your own server, but the hardware is virtualized which makes it a great value.\r\n\r\nIn this video, we'll show you how to setup a VPS with Linode.
