Build practical skills in CentOS Linux installation and web server setup with this tutorial for beginners.

Although we make all the tutorials and demonstrations on CentOS operating system, note that CentOS explicitly aims for complete binary compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The only real difference is that CentOS has the branding-related packages from RHEL replaced with recompiled versions from the sources provided by Red Hat.

So learning CentOS is 99% the same as learning Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

In this course you will learn about:

  • Physical dedicated server set up
  • DigitalOcean and Amazon Web Services virtual private server set up
  • CentOS 7 Linux operating system installation
  • Apache / Nginx web server, MariaDB database and PHP installation
  • Oracle VirtualBox installation to create your own VDS host server
  • And much more tweaks in the upcoming monthly updates, including but no limited to tuning the web server for low RAM systems, applying security tweaks to your server to make it less vulnerable to external attacks etc.

Powerful Tools at Your Fingertips

Learning Linux server setup essentials puts a very powerful and useful tools at your disposal. After finishing this course, you will be able to organize your personal web hosting and any other web-based service out there, from e-mail to file sharing service.

Save money, take total control over your data and have fun!

Each chapter is packed with step-by-step guides and the exact Linux commands which will put your new learned skills into practical use immediately.

You will start with choosing the right platform for your server. Then you will install CentOS Linux to the server and set up the LAMP stack.
