1
00:00:02,180 --> 00:00:06,710
The first step in this process is to log into your digital ocean account.

2
00:00:06,910 --> 00:00:13,160
If you don't have an account click the sign a button you'll be prompted to enter the e-mail address

3
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:15,000
and the password you'd like to use.

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,570
Once you've created an account you have to enter some basic payment details and then you'll be able

5
00:00:20,570 --> 00:00:22,900
to use digital ocean to create servers.

6
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:30,520
Since I already have an account I'm going to go ahead and click the log in button.

7
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:48,960
I'll go ahead and enter my log in credentials.

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,710
We are now on the Digital Ocean dashboard so here under the Resources tab you can see the different

9
00:00:55,710 --> 00:01:01,500
droplets that you have and also the different domains that are attached to this project.

10
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:09,320
On the left hand side you can see the different projects that are in this digital ocean account a project

11
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:15,620
you can think of it as a folder that contains different droplets and different domains different settings

12
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:19,010
that pertain to different Web sites.

13
00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:23,660
So since we're going to be working on a completely new project I'm going to go ahead and click the new

14
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:27,220
project button here.

15
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:30,670
So we're now prompted to enter a name for the project.

16
00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:32,980
I'll go ahead and call it main server.

17
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:41,550
Or you can call your project anything you like because this server is going to be hosting multiple domains.

18
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,560
I gave it a more generic name.

19
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:48,940
If your server was going to be dedicated for one Web site you could enter a name that's more relevant

20
00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:49,920
to that Web site.

21
00:01:54,210 --> 00:01:59,620
It's not required that you add a description but it is required that you select a purpose.

22
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:06,200
So I'll go ahead and select development.

23
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,640
Now it's asking if we want to move any existing resources to our main server.

24
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:12,780
We don't want to do this.

25
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,580
So I'm going to go ahead and click skip for now.

26
00:02:15,930 --> 00:02:20,520
On the left menu you can see that the main server project is now available.

27
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:25,410
So now back on this main page we can go ahead and create our droplet to do so.

28
00:02:25,410 --> 00:02:26,940
Click the Create droplet button

29
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,840
in this section we can select the type of distribution we want to configure on our droplet since we're

30
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,570
going to be working with Ubuntu select Ubuntu eighteen point zero for 64 bit

31
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:56,050
if it's not the default here you can select it from the menu.

32
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,470
The next thing you'll need to do is select a size for the droplet.

33
00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:07,460
Now I'm going to select the smallest size of one gigabyte memory one CPQ twenty five gigabytes of SSD

34
00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:12,310
disk space and one terabyte transfer per month.

35
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:20,060
If you know that you're going to be using this server for something much more extensive than just learning

36
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:27,440
purposes then you'll want to select a higher configuration and that configuration will depend entirely

37
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,330
on your needs.

38
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:31,820
So for now I'm going to select the first option

39
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:41,990
and I'm going to scroll down the page and the next thing will need to do here is select a data region.

40
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:48,920
If you're going to be using this Web server for serving web pages to your customers you want to select

41
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,450
a region closest to your customers.

42
00:03:51,450 --> 00:03:58,270
This will ensure your website loads as fast as possible when visitors access your site.

43
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,570
But again this is just for demonstration purposes.

44
00:04:00,570 --> 00:04:02,520
So I'm going to go ahead and select New York

45
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,090
no scrolling down.

46
00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:12,010
The next thing we'll need to do here is choose a hostname for this server.

47
00:04:12,130 --> 00:04:17,520
So again because the server will be hosting multiple sites I can give it a generic name.

48
00:04:17,650 --> 00:04:24,020
A call that main server just like we did for the project.

49
00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:25,470
Now go ahead and click Create

50
00:04:30,730 --> 00:04:37,330
you'll see the blue status bar appears and that indicates the progress on the deployment of this server

51
00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:47,390
and it normally doesn't take more than one or two minutes.

52
00:04:47,630 --> 00:04:53,670
So the server has now been created and you can see that an IP has been assigned to this server by default.

53
00:04:53,870 --> 00:05:00,530
Digital Ocean has also emailed you your password for this server so you will want to make sure that

54
00:05:00,530 --> 00:05:05,390
you log into your email and make sure that that email is there because we'll be using that password

55
00:05:05,390 --> 00:05:06,590
shortly.

56
00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:08,920
This is known as your route administrative password.
