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.

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! :)
