How to Host a Website?

1. Install Apache

To install Apache, run the following commands:

sudo apt update 
sudo apt install apache2

After installation, enter your IP address in a browser:

127.0.0.1:80

Or:

{ip}:80

Ensure you are not using HTTPS!

You should see a page like this:

2. Create Your Own Site

You have two options:
1. Edit the default site code that Apache provides (located at /var/www/html)
2. Create a separate site
This tutorial will guide you through the second option, as it is slightly more complex.

Create a new folder at /var/www/:

sudo mkdir /var/www/test/

Replace "test" with any name you prefer.

Create an index.html file:

nano /var/www/test/index.html

Add your website content to the file. For example:

Hello World!

Save the file. You might need to restart Apache using:

sudo service apache2 restart

Enjoy creating!
