to anyone watching this - vultr has a documentation page which shows how to use "certbot" which not only creates and deploys the ssl certificate to wordpress automatically, but it also renews it based on a timer this mostly applies for their one-click wordpress deployment, but - can also work for manual wordpress installations (you just need to also install certbot) it's basically 1. ssh 2. run single certbot command 3. profit
I am very new to unmanaged vps. I am currently on shared hosting. But i would really like to explore unmanaged vps. Watched a few of your tutorials on linode, digital ocean. Could you suggest any other basic tutorials or starting points ?

@@milindsahu You have a few different options for installing WordPress. Depending on which web server you want to use: - Nginx: ua-cam.com/video/q1c_66QjRYo/v-deo.html - Apache: ua-cam.com/video/q-qfLUTgUl8/v-deo.html (these instructions will work for any VPS like DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr. I use and recommend Linode + Nginx) To copy files to the server, you can use pscp on Windows: ua-cam.com/video/w1Tqr7Wk5aU/v-deo.html To edit files in a Putty window, you can use the Vim text editor: ua-cam.com/video/uE4aljoMBeg/v-deo.html That should get you started.

Thanks for the video it was a great help. Now I can create more web sites. The page where you where you have the text does not work. You are using Linux commands to do the copy to your server. I get that , I am connect through putty. So I will have to ftp the files to the server. thanks again.
Yes you're right, FTP is a good option if you are on Windows. You can use pscp (Putty SCP) to copy the files www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
I know this was posted a while ago, but for those who miss/forget where the 'server.key' was generated, this file was generated from the 'openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr' command (@1:45). Whichever directory that you ran this command in, is where the 'server.key' file can be found. From there, you can run the 'scp' command to copy the file to your server (@ 8:30).

how did the server.key get to your download folder?
LOL. Good job, you were paying attention! I must've copied it into my Downloads folder in preparation to copy it to the server.
