Description
In this course I setup two domains to point to a Lightsail instance.
I create the instance and associate a static IP to it from Lightsail.
I show you how to connect to your instance using mRemoteNG, a free SSH client.
I install Apache, MySql and PHP.
I create a database for each future WordPress instance.
I create virtual hosts for the two WordPress instances.
I install two WordPress instances.
I add two free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt SSL using Certbot.
I take a look at two ways to make it easy to manage multiple WordPress instances: WordPress multisite and Prosites from GoDaddy. I explain which one is best suited for what and show you how to set Prosites up step by step.
I also sometimes run into issues and show you how I find my way out of them, in case you run into similar problems.
Who this course is for:
- Webmasters, ops, developers who want to host multiple WordPress instances on amazon Lightsail
Instructor
I am a big fan of using and helping others use agile/scrum and writing and helping others write easy to maintain code.
I have been a developer for 16 years. I have 10 years of PHP experience, 3 years of Java and JavaScript, 2 years of C# and 1 year of Python.
I am passionate about writing easy to maintain code and I tried to help the programming community with my courses on this subject.
I'm also a big fan of Agile and SCRUM and how you can build motivated, happy teams around it.
I've worked on a lot of types of projects. From small to medium projects where I was the only developer to medium and big projects in teams of 30+ people.
Besides being a developer, in the last five years I've also have the Scrum Master role, or led the process of applying Scrum inside the team.
I am currently writing mostly Java, and have certifications in PHP and Scrum.
