Hosting Companies Will HATE Me for This Video (I Saved $700/Month)

0:00 Today you will forget about hosting companies. I will show you how in 5 minutes you can switch to your own self managed hosting. This simple switch saves me around $700 every single month. I'm sure after you watch this one year from now, you'll be grateful that this video has popped up in your recommendations. If you are ready, let's get started. So without wasting time, step number one is to get a server. We have many companies out there. One of the best I use is Contabo, not sponsor. It is just that I use Contabo. And with simple comparison between Contabo and other services, you will see the difference in pricing in

0:46 terms of the same resources you get. So simply go to VPS section cloud VPS and you can start for $6 a month and you can scale as your business grow and with three more dollars you get way more power. So for me now I will select this one month plan. Go down make sure to select Ubuntto it's by default. Go down and enter a password. That's it. Click on next. Now in a couple of minutes usually you get your server. You will see a new server up and running. Of course you get an email with your login data and the IP details and so on. So let's copy the IP address. As a good

1:33 practice give your server a name. My new hosting setup anything. Confirm. Now we have the server and the IP address. We can log in to set up our hosting software. To connect to our server, we need an SSH client. We have many options. I'll go with Terus. Just go here, sign up, and download the version for your OS. In my case, it's Windows. So, just install it. Open Termius and simply click on new host. Then enter the IP address here and click on connect. For the username, it's root. Add and continue. Enter the password and we are inside our server. I'll be using Coolifi. It's super cool, free and you

2:22 can host and set up anything literally anything on it with oneclick deployments from WordPress to automation to API to services, databases, anything. Not only that, the installation of Koolifi is automated. Go to installation in the documentation and you will see here one command. Just copy it, go to SH client again, paste it, right click, enter, and enjoy the automated installation. In a couple of seconds, maybe 1 minute, you will have your server up and running. Perfecto. Congratulations. We have Koolifi installed. Let's copy this address here. Copy up your browser again. And we are in Koolifi. Create an

3:07 account. We are in. Let's skip on boarding and get started directly and set up WordPress. Look now at the magic. Click on add your first project. For example, my websites, anything. Continue, production, add a new resource. And now we have maybe hundreds of applications you can install with oneclick deployment on Koolifi. Just search for WordPress, select it. And what's nice, you can point your domain and get a free SSL certificate automatically. What I will do now is again copy my server IP address. I will go to GoDaddy to my domains. Let's pick a domain like this one here to test with. Go to DNS

3:55 section. Then simply the main a record just point it to your IP address to curify IP address. Save. We are done. Let's copy this domain I have. Go back to our WordPress installation. And you will see here in the settings we can edit the domain name. So say https and the domain name and save. That's it. Let's click on this awesome button here. Deploy. Now just relax. In a couple of seconds or 1 minute you will have WordPress installed. Let's try it. Go to links open it and boom WordPress is installed. Just continue and finish up your website. Let's see another

4:40 example. Let's go back here to projects my websites. Let's click on new and now install N8N. You will get unlimited automations. Again, you can edit this for a custom domain. Let's say N8N dot my domain https. Don't forget point it here. Let's add an A record N and the server IP. Save. That's it. Let's go here. Save and deploy again. Wait for a couple of seconds and you will have N8N installed up and running. and can build up unlimited automation. Again, started. Let's open

5:26 the link. And here we are. N8N is installed. It's really super simple. Saves you a lot without any limits. You have full control. You can test anything super fast.
