Thanks...I was able to set up vultr with your previous tutorial. It was smooth. Although I had some few challenge but navigated through with answers in public forums. I found out that no matter what challenge you encounter in doing it, someone else has had similar challenge and the answers are there.
$6 per month is quite cheap and it's extremely fast. Compared to other host companies with shared hosting that charges $10 to $12 and are not as fast as this. My pagespeed score were 97 mobile and 100 desktop.
I have been using it for the past 5 months. It's been all good.
Thanks man for your technical videos.
awesome, great feedback thank you Bale
gotta say again, best video training ever. Works like a charm... installed about 30 sites step by step 100% always works. Well done. Thank you.
Keep up the amazing work man!
Thanks! Will do!
Another great tutorial Alex. Thank you! I liked the mention about multiple domains. :) With regards to your comment re Port 25 and informing support of the volume of emails, is there a limit impossed by Vultr for the SMTP traffic?
Great to found your email tips. Clarified everything
Amazing Tutorial once again, I learn alot from your Videos. Hope to see you make some more videos on other control panels .
Thanks, will do!
Excellent video!
Awesome stuff as always Alex. (And I finally got to leave the first comment - got to be quick for that!)
thanks Lachlan, what kind of setup do you use these days?
@@IdeaSpot I'm still using Cloudways and find their product to be really good and very stable. But I'm looking for a good low-cost and flexible solution for deploying and hosting websites for clients on a monthly care plan. Your latest Vultr setup looks perfect for that. So the next step for me is to road test it with my own sites, make sure there aren't going to be any issues that I can't resolve easily, then if all goes well, this becomes my new standard setup. Can't thank you enough for everything I've learned already through your videos. This channel is basically a degree course in WordPress and web hosting. You're a legend Alex!
Thanks, Alex! The main issue I experienced was the lack of a solid backup and restore service. If you can recommend one to prepare for the inevitable problems, I might give it another go.
Why not just take manual backup
Amazing Video Sir ☺️
Prices have changed, unfortunately, although I suppose everything has in the past 2 years since this video was published. Vultr no longer offers the free version of Plesk. I was excited to get setup on the Vultr platform, but the monthly cost of $23 for Plesk is twice the price of the VPS; bummer.
Awesome tutorial, thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for another great video!
Thanks for watching!
great stuff. I still refer to your old video on this sometimes so good to get a new one. Plesk is great. 5-6 months ago they had an auto update that killed all homepages lol. Lucky the Plesk forums are great so there was an easy fix to roll back the update and put auto updates on hold.
Thanks :) The old video uses cloudflare & cloudflare SSL so thats a nice method too - but this is a little more straightfoward. I might need to make an updated cloudflare+plesk video sometime since its not so obvious where to paste a cloud flare cert (@9:32 -> manage)
Good lord. That was exactly my problem. Plesk Auto update killed my site. Vultr tech support told me to go pound sand until I died. Cloning and staging in Cloudways is what I will marry from now on. We’re engaged.
@@garrettstevensen2467 yes I always use cloudways for important sites. Considering the client pays its worth every bit extra. With Vultr you basically have to deal with everything yourself. Luckily for Plesk the community is awesome. Its why I think I will choose Plesk over cyberpanel for future servers. Ive had a few issues with cyber panel and its been harder to find answers.
It would be great to have a tutorial on how to manage a lot of inbox in a server like this, so when you get to that point you have to think of having a big amount of GB prepare for it. Blockstorage, Objet Storage or even in the main VPS storage. This is the hard part. When we are talking about just 5 inboxes and no big size, this isn't a problem of course. No one talks about the space required for this inboxes and the cost of it. With a base of 64 GB in a server that is going to be shared, if you create a mail server, you have to think about how to scale it. Go for it Alex. Would be great.
Hey Alex, when you talk about reverse DNS to point to our domain, what about if in the same server we are hosting more than one domain? How this should look like? Thank you!
Thank you. Briliant tutorial!
This is an amazing video, , , from start to finish it was perfect. I have added many different instances now and feel like a pro. Thank you. Awesome stuff. p.s. is there a follow up video if I wanted to add more DOMAINS to one instance? Not sure exactly what that looks like?
Thank you so much.
I am considering the idea of managing my own as I kind of do this anyway, so I might as well manage this myself. Every time I want something it seems that I am limited to what I can do as I prefer to self-manage it myself. I am technical so this is not really difficult for me. Thanks for this Video. I think I will start with Plesk and then will eventually move to Cyberpannel as it gives one more flexibility long term. I may even just go with Cyberpannel as you do have a very good video on this. I find most hosting options are very limited and it drives me nuts. Also, Cloudways looks like they are going to be dropping Vultr soon. This did not make me happy plus they have increased their prices (Cloudways) which is annoying. I will have more control and more options by managing it myself as I do most everything else anyway.
lovely tut....i am moving from shared hosting to this.....do you know how to import existing emails from cpanel on shared hosting?
Good evening. Firstly, thank you for this tutorial. It is really helpful. I am running into the issue or the Let's Encrypt SSL not installing to encrypt the domain.. I have no idea what to do... everything else is working fine... any help would be outstanding at this point
Are the nameservers left to default namecheap basic dns? Or should we change them too?
Thanks, Alex. This updated Plex video is simple. By cutting out Cloudflare the process is easier.
I was using Vultr last year. But the server kept crashing. Moved to another VPS. Tech support was useless. They'd respond eventually, but with useless stuff. If things go bump in the night don't expect any help. Not newbie friendly.
Thanks for sharing!
James... that was *exactly* my same experience with Vultr. Their support will respond after 2-3 days, with a link that says, "Read the F.A.Q." or something of the sort. They absolutely do not care, at all. Their "support" appears to only forward F.A.Q's, or to give status updates about their server uptime/downtime.
Cloudways is a breath of fresh air. They have the best support there is, and, they give you Vultr's same high speed servers. It's a beautiful marriage made in heaven.
@@garrettstevensen2467 I think that's just a misunderstanding on you and OP's part. When going to Vultr direct you're paying for a SELF-MANAGED server. That's why it's only $6 when you go to Cloudways they manage it for you (backups, support, preinstall of WP and admin console) hence the $12. You do need to be more self-supporting and technical when going the self-managed route. I think Alex mentions this in is videos. I agree the extra $6 for Cloudways is well worth it for most people.
@@JohnsonJLB Good points.
Thanks. How to move (migrate) ubuntu nginx to plesk on vultr ? thank you for your attention.
Perfect video... I was with Cloudways, left Cloudways to go to Vultr directly, I had several issues popup, support couldn't/wouldn't help, I cancelled, and was still being billed the following month. After deleting instances/backups, they were still actively billing me. I'm looking to go back to Cloudways.
running a server is definitely a learning experience, this video I would say is the most smooth setup I've tried. But yeah, you need to be able to handle all server administration yourself, plesk forums can be helpful when needed 👍 An infrastructure provider like vultr, aws, contabo etc is really just responsible for hardware side.
@@IdeaSpot there were 2 Plesk outages. That’s exactly what I experienced… I used to cringe at the higher costs of Cloudways. Now, it doesn’t seem so bad after all the great support you get.
For the namecheap DNS steps for webmail to work. Would i just enter the spf records and such in cloudflare? Thats what im using
Hi Big fan here. I followed you tutorial step by step but in the end I have error in my email setup. I can receive mails but sending email did not arrive to the target email. What do you think to be the problem of the setup? Help will be much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
When I tried to use Plesk with DO earlier last year, DO kept warning I was beyond my resource capacity for my server. This kept coming up even though I had only a 2 page wordpress site.
So I moved to Cloudways with Vultr and had no problems. I just don't think Plesk is a reliable choice.
Thanks for the Tutorial. But what I am scared about is; does Vurtl or Plesk offers customer service (live chat or email) to contact them whenever my website breaks down for any reason which I couldn't fix myself?
Hello my friend
Is there an explanation soon how to get a free RDP for an unlimited period with high potential, as I explained the Oracle cloud server?
Great tutorial. I just signed up through your link.
I went through the whole process but nothing appeared in my Products. Very strange.
Thanks
Did you change the nameservers to Custom DNS (Vultr's nameservers) on Namecheap or you left the default Namecheap BasicDNS nameservers?
I have the following problem when logging into wordpress it tells me the following, Cookies are blocked or are not compatible with your browser. You must enable cookies to use Wordpress and the problem is not related to my browser
I have setup Plesk perfectly. But instead of using given disk space. I would like to mount new volume of 500 GB and use that volume as default for everything. Similar to AWS EBS. Is that possible? Currently, it just gives only 40 to 50 GB space.
How we can make our own and free smtp server on digitalocean sir?
You are doing a great job. Thanks for your valueable time and teaching❤❤❤
You can ask support if they will unblock your port 25, or try another place like contabo or ovh i think they still allow it
Vultr has a very support. It takes them 12hrs to reply a single ticket. Don't depend on vultr support for critical websites. My account was hi- jacket and it has been 3 days not able to regain access. Any my credits in the account are mis-used for creation of very high priced instances, which I came to know though email. Thankfully did'nt attached my credit card with it.
Is there a way to install Lite
speed on Plesk?
Thank you!☺ I've learned a lot! Amazing work!
Kindly make some videos on free open source smtp servers on digitalocean
Cyberpanel i am getting email evry day..[Let's Encrypt SSL] FAILURE of renewal of (domain ) is there any solution .. still i have SSL 2 month remain
Pls…how do I add ads.txt file on Vultr?
My Plesk server did not generate a default_domainKey, what do i do?
this has helped me a lot but roundcube webmail link doesnt show up
Unfortunately Vultr are still requesting that a minimum of 5$ should be deposited so no free trial, thank you for making it simple for no techies, hopefully deploying one vps
soon
Yes, they've implemented this to prevent abuse, so you can't knock them for that. $5 is not a lot anyway.
Please help me😢… how do I fix 403 forbidden nginx on Vultr?🙏 please ☹️
can you please do a tutorial about PrestaShop in Hestia
I accidently chose AMD high performance and uploaded massive wordpress to it, how do I switch to Intel HF seamlessly? I see upgrade but it does offer the switch, any ideas?
I thought amd was better for speed
Bro i love your accent
where are you from ?
ok friend. ist good
so would you recommend this over CyberPanel & Litespeed?
if i was starting out this is what I'd use - but if you have cyberpanel already and it's working for you there's no reason to change 👍
@@IdeaSpot I tried this out and it seemed easier to begin with, had to increase the file limit upload size as it's set to 2M... also do you know what the SMTP server name is for setting up the email this way, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can't get the email to send even though Port 25 is open.... hmmmmm.
thanks for that extra tip 👍 Honestly, self hosting email and getting good deliverability can be a huge pain, these days really just recommend using outlook or google workspace for anything serious, icloud+ is not bad too and only $1 per month if you like apple... zoho is a solid free one too.
Vultr gives error when trying to link the card and saying " Linking denied for this card. Please deposit an amount of $5 or greater. " :/
what kind of card?
hello.. did you delete the video of hestia cp configuration with cloudflare SSL? I cant see that video in the playlist anymore.. Was there any issue with the SSL configuration??
yeah, I'll have the video up tomorrow, the email settings are a little different, check my blog in the meantime if you like
@@IdeaSpot Ok i will check the blog. Hey one small request.. Can you also add a video to setup hestia with nginx fast cgi + Redis object cache.. As in webinoly it is already there but in case of hestia i only find nginx fast cgi. Redis object cache is missing in hestia.
@@visionshahi8196 Need this too
What is the man use of this vultr
2 Questions on this tutorial... 1) The operating system chosen was Debian... Any thoughts on this? Have you tried Cent, Ubuntu? Which would be "best" for Plesk? I know they are all linux, but I'm sure one is more reliable/supported better than the other? Perhaps this was my issue last time... I dunno. 2) I would pay to a patreon for benchmarking on the older high frequency vs new AMD and Intel high performance offerings. How about on optimized cloud compute which has AMD Epyc 3rd gen? Only $30 but dedicated vCPU. Perhaps there's a difference on a high load. I may switch back to Vultr since can't get these on cloudways... Arghhh....
Arm is much faster. Apple and Android are based on Arm chipset.
I can receive emails, but I can't send them.
Am Using Plesk But My Mail Are Not Send And Come Showing Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender ?? Am Fllow You Step For Mail Steup Its Show Eroor Am Using Cloudflare For All Records Add
Use dns only for the mail records in cloudflare, it won’t work with cloudflare proxy
@@IdeaSpot cloudflare proxy disable and its all webmail and mail a records are now dns only but mail not send to other mails .. what can i do now sir
@@ranasarkar1268 could be blocked port 25 - check with support or use another service to host mail
Thank you - appreciate the tutorial, feel free to reach out any time in case we could do some collaboration (I work at Plesk) :-)
Thanks lukas for reaching out - really appreciate having a resource like plesk 👍
Alex. My comment keeps getting deleted. Did you see where Vultr now offers AMD EPYC 3rd Gen for optimized cloud compute? Its only $30!
Oh cool! Maybe it doesn’t allow links in comments perhaps - but that’s pretty sweet
Method might be good but Vultr wont accept legit cards to get this 100$ credit. "This card is not eligible for free credit promotions." I am getting this error for all my cards.
what kind of cards?
@@IdeaSpot Debit and credit cards. Direct from bank. Not a one time used type of things.
@@bulentunat Thanks for sharing - I'm guessing it needs a good credit card, and guessing debit, virtual and prepaid ones maybe wouldn't work
@@IdeaSpot i am not sure what you mean by "good credit card" but if that means that there is balance and it is from the biggest bank of a country. you can check those for my cards :) I believe they are not giving this free credits for asian countries. Just guessing.
@@bulentunat that would be a shame 😑I wish places would just be open about which countries are eligible for promos rather than causing problems for everyone!
You can get started with a free 30 day credit referral to Vultr ➡ ideaspot.com.au/vultr
No coupon code is needed, you'll get $100 of credit to use during your first 14 days 😀
Tip: You can increase the max upload size in WordPress in the PHP settings as shown here:
ideaspot.com.au/blog/vultr-vps/#maxfilesize
This will help if you need to load larger plugins, themes or other files.
If you're using Cloudflare, I used Cloudflare SSL in my previous version of this video, which I also still like using: czcams.com/video/7vUl16bdW8Q/video.html
