DigitalOcean is a great cloud hosting provider that offers a wide range of VPS plans. You can create a VPS through DigitalOcean’s simple web-based interface.

To create a VPS, you will first need to create an account on DigitalOcean. Once you have created an account, you can login and visit the DigitalOcean website.

On the DigitalOcean website, you will first need to select your operating system. You can choose between Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora.

After you have selected your operating system, you will need to select a provider plan. There are four provider plans available: $5/month, $10/month, $20/month, and $50/month.

Once you have selected your provider plan, you will need to select a region. You can choose between the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America.

After you have selected your region, you will need to select a server size. You can choose between a 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB server size.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with servers or hosting, we do not recommend trying to set up a VPS host on DigitalOcean. Unless you are confident in your abilities, you could end up accidentally damaging your server or losing data. If you are unsure about anything, please reach out to our support team for assistance.

After you have selected your server size, you will need to select a type of server. You can choose between a virtual machine (VM) or a physical machine (PVM).

After you have selected your type of server, you will need to select a domain name. You can choose between a custom domain name or a pre-existing domain name.

After you have selected your domain name, you will need to select a storage account. You can choose between a standard storage account or a high-performance storage account.

After you have selected your storage account, you will need to select a container type. You can choose between a Ubuntu container or a CentOS container.

After you have selected your container type, you will need to select a language. You can choose between English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, or Dutch.

Finally, you will need to create your DigitalOcean account. After you have created your account, you will be able to create your VPS.
