Make your own website on an Ubuntu server

I recently put together a tutorial on how to make your own blog-style website from scratch, assuming minimal preexisting technical knowledge. I go through the process of registering a domain name, setting up a VPS, linking the two with DNS, configuring a web server, configuring a static website generator, and writing posts in Markdown. The VPS runs Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the web server is nginx, and the site generator is Hugo. With this method, it costs roughly $6 a month (less sometimes) to host the website, and you have complete control over the server on which it runs. I used this same method to setup my own website, where the tutorial itself is hosted.

Here's the link if you would like to give it a try yourself: https://mrlc.dev/posts/website-from-scratch/
