Description

Google Cloud Platform has a great free tier, there are lots of options which can make setup complicated. You have to generate SSH keys, login via the terminal, configure a Linux virtual machine (VM), create an SSH tunnel, and adjust your DNS Zone file. 
This course will walk you through all of those steps from signup on Google Cloud Platform, to configuring a virtual machine using a Bitnami LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) Stack, Uploading basic HTML, CSS & JavaScript files, Installing WordPress, configuring CloudFlare, setting up multiple sites and sub-domains with virtual hosts (vhosts).
Along the way you’ll be introduced to several other free tools. If you are currently hosting your website on another hosting provider (such as Dreamhost, BlueHost, HostGator, MediaTemple, GoDaddy or others) you may be paying over $200 a year to host your site.
