Having your own blog this days can be a piece of cake, as there are a lot of hosting packages to choose from and also they are very cheap. Like I said, having a blog it’s not a big deal, but having a dedicated server or VPS with your own custom setup can be some what difficult to achieve. I’m talking about a setup which includes nginx as a web server, php-fpm as a back-end php server and mysql server as a database server. The easy way how to do this, could be by installing this packages from the distro’s repository, but again, is this case I will do it from the source code.

To start with this, we need a VPS or dedicated server, which can be a problem, because can cost some money. A VPS can cost from about $20 and up and you’ll get with this money about 256MB of RAM and maybe 10-20GB of disk space. If you need something better or faster, a dedicated server would do the job and the price for having a dedicated server would easily start from $50 and up.

I had to do it. I had the impression that sometimes some parts of the blog weren’t so visible and also was kind of too damn dark. The new wordpress theme is iBlog, which kind of tries to resemble Mac OS X design or Apple design, as you wish. To be honest I like both of them, but on smaller screen’s the previous theme wasn’t so helpful. Another truth is that I do not have so many visitors to my blog to say it is important or not the visibility and quality of the blog, but hey, I’m trying.

SSL enabled!

I’ve done this too. I have enabled SSL for my blog and web site, so anyone who wants to view the pages thru SSL, now they can. I don’t know how much it matters, but for some more security this actually helps a bit. The only issue is that the certificates are self-signed by me, which kind of gives a bit of issues with the browsers, companing that not all the parts of the web page are encrypted. I hope this is not really a big deal, as buying a proper certificates kind of cost too much for using it to a blog or personal web page.

Happy SSL surfing everyone! :)
