How To Set Up VPS For Landers?

Hi STM-ers!

I'm thinking of getting BeyondHosting for my first VPS
And I can't seem to find any tutorial or guide of how do I set up my landers in the VPS, etc

p/s I'm really a tech noobie

Appreciate everyone's help!

From one noobie to another, think of your VPS as a C drive that exists somewhere else. You get set up with a VPS and have a domain that you own (this is a whole different topic). But once that is done when you have a landing page and picture and whatnot you put it on your VPS using an FTP client. That is what is used to transfer files from the computer your working on to the VPS. I use Cyberduck, it's pretty simple to use and if your hosting is managed their support can help you figure it out. The public html folder on the drive can be your business landing page aka what displays when you visit yourdomain.com. Going there won't show anything if you don't have an index file in that folder (index.html = the code for that page). Wherever you want to display a new webpage create a new folder in or after the public html folder with it's own index.html file. Organize however you please. So your landing page would be the index.html file in a folder on your VPS. For example, it would live at yourdomain.com/mobilelanders/iphone6offer1. "iphone6offer1" is the name of the folder on your VPS that you put the index.html(landing page code) file and any pictures your landing page is using for your Iphone6 sweepstake offer. Hope that helps! Best of luck fellow noob.

Hey aloeverra,

I'm not really trying to just self promote here but we're launching a tool that I think can really help you out/change your life.

We have created a deployment system that deploys your landers to your domains using your AWS account and requires no technical know how. Apart from abstracting the deployment process for you so you can focus on creatives, we also automatically optimize your page (images, js, css, html), and provide an intuitive UI for you to organize your landers (and more). Our beta is free and I encourage you to check it out. We developed it to solve your exact problem

If you're interested head over to the "tools" part of the forum where we have recently posted more information and feel free to PM me any questions.

Hope that it helps you!

This is it pretty much, setting up a landing page is just copying your files to a place where they are accessible from anywhere in the world. Unless you are asking about how to setup LPs to send clicks to where you want them to go, which would be a different topic.
