Set up some cloud space for my webpage
by Pedroski from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54CVD)
I don't really know anything about cloud servers or web hosting.
I run a little homework page hosted by GoDaddy. It works OK, but because the webhost is outside of China it is a bit slow, sometimes annoyingly slow.
I found a company here in China, now.cn. I can get:
Quote:
I believe this comes without any other software installed.
This will cost me 2330 RMB (about US$340) a year.
But it is inside The Great Firewall, which should improve the speed for loading webpages.
My question is:
Can I then install all the things I need to make the system run, to make the webpage work?
Although I am not very good at computing, I managed to make my localhost, my laptop, work like a server. I installed apache2, PHP, MySQL. When I make a webpage, I try it on localhost first, before I upload.
I am used to using cPanel to manage my webpages and database at GoDaddy. cPanel is very easy to use.
Can I install cPanel on this cloud server?
Or it this technically beyond my layman's ability??
