Optimized WordPress VPS (Unlimited Sites!) Linode Setup Tutorial with WordOps

This method will give you an awesome, fully optimized and secured WordPress setup. All commands used in the tutorial are shown on our blog here: https://ideaspot.com.au/blog/wordops-setup-tutorial We used Linode in this example, but you can use pretty much any VPS. We recommend these free trials if you'd like to try for yourself: Vultr ➡️ https://ideaspot.com.au/vultr (my favourite) Linode ➡️ https://ideaspot.com.au/linode-trial Digital Ocean ➡️ https://ideaspot.com.au/digital-ocean If you'd like an easier method, our previous Vultr & Plesk tutorial also gives the same outstanding results, but with a graphical setup rather than using the command line: https://youtu.be/7vUl16bdW8Q Even easier still is Cloudways, albeit a little more expensive, but your server is fully managed and secured by Cloudways: https://youtu.be/N7C9RR28Ggg Cloudways is recommended for those of you who are new to managing their own server. However, take advantage of the other free trials too, you will learn a lot and build some great experience.
