Reduce cost by building your own servers, automate daily backups, and make monthly income from clients.

What are the requirements?

Students should understand that this course will be face-paced screencasts of the process, where I explain what we're doing and why.
This course is for students with a Mac (or Linux-based) or Windows machine. Students with a Mac should have the Terminal app (or similar) installed. Windows students will need puTTY. Both of which we will cover in the Getting Started steps.
You should come prepared to spend a few dollars on a new VPS hosting plan; in this course I use RamNode. This course does not cover or test other providers, and although the material and scripts should work on other hosts, to learn the material successfully, and follow through the steps exactly, it's required you follow along using this provider. Once you've learned the material successfully, you should be able to take this knowledge and apply it with only minor modifications based on how the hosting provider works - if any differently.
You should own at least 1 domain, through GoDaddy, for example. We'll use the top-level or a sub-domain for the course.

What is the target audience?

This course is for students with an intermediate knowledge of web technologies. Students should have some knowledge of the command line and basic commands such as chmod, chown, cd, and what sudo is. Students should also understand what a database is and administration tools like phpMyAdmin, and have a basic knowledge of web servers such as Apache and Nginx.
Although this course is focused on students with some technical know-how on a Linux-based environment, students who have a will to learn can pick up things quickly.
This course is not designed for those who have never set up a database, don't understand the concepts behind what a web server does or have never used the command line.
This course is designed for you to come prepared with the basic knowledge of Linux, WordPress, MySQL, phpMyAdmin and how they are used
