Hi, my name is Daniel Platt and I have been my own web servers since forever.
Watch over my should as I build a web server and use it to host a Wordpress site.


You want the latest version of PHP
Other hosting provider needs to do months of testing before they will roll latest version of PHP, by which time it's out-of-date.

You want the latest in application security
Your hosting provider wants to keep compatibility for everyone, which minimising their support costs.

Free HTTPS certificate

I'll show you how to get free https certificates for you website.
The real kicker is it's more convenient than buying them!


Still not convinced?

If you try to find prebuilt hosting from a hosting provider, you'll need to consider:

  • Cost

  • Setup Time

  • Features

  • Software Versions

  • Support

It can be a headache!


If you want to take control of your hosting, then you need this course.
