You are one of the few guys on UKposts that knows how to do video tutorials. Clear voice, well explained steps, good examples, hd video and not rambly at all (among many more praises). Thank you very much!

Hey man, I don't normally comment on videos but your update DNS script saved me a giant headache. Twice, because I had to redo this once and stumbled upon your video the second time. Thanks a ton!

This tutorial was amazing! I ended up getting my site up and running in a little over an hour by following this. Thanks!

Absolutely fantastic! You have an excellent way of explaining everything in a clear, understandable fashion. I will now look for more videos from you.

Amazing tutorial! i bought my google domain a year ago and i have been wondering on how to host a webpage, and i've been wanting to host one off my pi for quite some time and this video hit both of those completely! you even taught me something i didn't know how to do in the cli! please continue to create more wonderful content, you rock!

Thanks for the videos, I nearly gave up on the pi due to incomplete tutorials out there, I like how you cover everything from start to finish without assuming all your viewers would know how something is done and therefore skip it.

I want to echo the comments here, that was a cracking tutorial, perfect pace, explained really well and simplified a very confusing topic into an easy to understand format. Much appreciated.

Great video. I know its relatively old now but it still applies. One of the best walk-throughs I've seen in a long time. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

This tutorial was amazing! One of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Super in-depth.

Great tutorial. I was a bit confused about the default web page in Apache and how to change it, and the Linux ownership issues. Your step by step walk through of the whole process was really helpful for me. Thanks for sharing.

gosh! this video explain virtually everything about the basics of web hosting. Thank you so much my friend!!!

Now, this is what I call a newb-friendly tutorial! I wish there was more educators like you.

Great Video Tutorial. I learned a lot and i really like how you explain the Linux Commands. I was raised in Windows and have not applied myself to Linux very much. It helped me tons.

thanks for the tutorial! I like how you are open to sharing info like what's in the picture you uploaded , or sharing devices info in your router page

It took me 2 attempts, but I DID IT!!!! first time i got all the way to the swish bit but i didn't have ssh enabled on my pi because i was using vnc. Many thanks upgrdman great vid.

Very well presented and I like the fact you not only showed the proper steps [even those that failed as that is real world] but explained what those many cryptic syntax meant.

Excellent tutorial - and it's pretty cool that your little raspberry is still working and sending the "Hello from my Raspberry Pi!" message nearly 2 years later. :)

Best instructions are' when presenter knows not just the how-to's but also the why's and is able to explain both in simple terms, such as in this excellent video.

Year 2021 and everything shown continues to work. Thank you very much for this tutorial.

Best 55 minutes - EVER! Thank you Sir!

NOte: If you get ERROR: "connection refused"? Install a "ssh" file (blank) in the microSD Boot. Be sure to delete the ".txt" file type! This will allow the TeraTerm SSH to access the RPi 4 model B. Hope this helps someone. UPGRDMAN, this is a terrific video... love you maannn!

This is gold. I keep coming back to this video for new setups.

Thanks for this tutorial!! I just ordered a Raspberry Pi and will arrive weeks from now, will give this a shot. Just subbed! Wonderful!

I sat for 2 hours flipping out about it not working. Turns out, the www. prefix is a must when accessing the site. Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial. It seemed so slow at first, but the depth of explanation was excellent and taught me plenty!

Dude, you are awesome! Now I got MY OWN SERVER!!!! This is insane!

Great tutorial!!! There is no way I would have gotten this done without your detailed instructions. Thank you !!!

This is a great tutorial, I'm glad you explained each part of the command. Keep it up!

Thank you so much! This is without a doubt the clearest, well explained and complete tutorial on the configuration of a web server in a Raspberry that I have seen. (and I have seen a LOT without getting all the help I need) I encourage you to continue making these kind of videos and I am sure that your channel will grow a lot. You have a new subscriber. regards

Great job this really helped me bring down costs of starting my business. Keep up the good work.

Very good tutorial! I've came back to this video several times to reference the dynamic dns setup. Good work!

Fantastic video. Even 3 years later mostly everything holds up. To anyone watching this today I'd definitely recommend going to the website in the description (saves some typing, copy/paste is your friend)

The video is great, I've watched all three in this series. It appears there have been many changes, especially if your using the latest Raspbian Buster Lite where you must create an empty ssh file (without any extension) in the /boot/ directory. There is a newer server/client application which complicated installation. The rest up to creating a Web page and putting that in its new folder is all good, none of that has changed. I'll do the port forwarding tomorrow. I may edit this as I continue, but that's as far as I've got tonight. Right, I did the steps for port forwarding on my router, very straight forward, however I did skip the Google domain creation step as I find for testing, a website called noip is very good, it offers a free domain name (with a preset suffix on a 30 day rolling confirmation sign in), and a DNS updating program for the RPi, making it ideal for testing. You sign up with a email address, password and confirm the email, sign in to that account, create a domain name and choose a suffix. Important note here is that it's not a www prefix in your browser, it's simply chosen-domain dot surfix (eg. Myweb.ddns.net is what may put in your browser). Search 2013/19 pi-as-noip, as of today this gives the best working instructions for download, install, setup and autostart at Pi boot. After this I was able to reboot, ensure the ip program was active, then use the domain name to access my RPi server. This video was a great source to learn from, and I really hope upgrdman revisits this video or just annotate the change in commands that have become obsolete since it was first published.

I wanted to say thank you for the video. Very clear instructions and enjoyed following along to make my own web server

Thanks for this video, now I can host my own website from own web sever, love your work mate

I previously watched this video for the reason in the title and it worked great. I ditched my raspberrypi webhost though. As of now I am setting up Nextcloud on ubuntu server and in the process of getting collabora to work. I had a hard time getting a second cert from certbot and google domains. I remember this video from a few months before and the synthetic records part saved my life!! Thank you! Ubuntu server and Raspbian have a very similar CLI.

So awesome! It's the right thing i've searched. You're awesome mate

Thank you for this video! I followed your instructions 2 years ago and my in- home web server has been running reliably through several dns changes by my ip provider (Comcast).👍

Thank you so much for this video. The part I was stuck at with setting my raspberry pi server was how the heck do I get my website to stop showing my ip address and show the domain name i bought instead. Now I understand why this works!

Thank you so much sir for this video ❤️. You just xplained very well that any technical or non-technical both can easily understand the whole process.

This was a lot of fun! My first domain!!!

29:43 or you could open notepad, write some code and when saving, put quotes on the filename, for example "index.html" notepad will not append .txt

After 4 years after this video it still works, worked for me, didn't install php nor mySQL, didn't need it, also used FilleZilla instead w/vsftpd on the RPi and all the Google Domain stuff worked ok.

Wow, Truly one of the best tutorials I've seen posted on youtube. Thank you very much.

Just a side note: Users should check their router software before creating the shell script. A lot of routers let you setup the dynDNS in their browser GUI. They will then essentially do what the shell script does but are not bound to time intervals (like the one hour) but can instead update as soon as their IP changes. Though that might be more interesting in places like here in Germany, where the ISPs disconnect private users on a 24h our basis :)

Again Thanks for the great tutorial!.. My problem was a router issue. I have a Netgear router for my network, and my ISP (Comcast) router, so I had to bridge the Comcast router, and then I was able to forward port 80, and port 443 on the Netgear router. So.. on to your VPN tutorial.

I have to say you are amazing! I just bumped to your tutorial and it's truly breath taking. Keep up the good work.

Good tutorial man, highly recommended, for the experienced and also for the new on these matters.

if php5 does not work (if your apt-get does not get it) just get take the "5" off, should look like "sudo apt-get install apache2 php mysql-server mysql-client" then update&&upgrade. Rebooting is recommend, however, not necessary.

By far the best tutorial for people like myself who don't regularly use Linux and need reminded on certain commands. I saw that you created a VPN server, but is there any chance of you doing a tutorial on how to create a VPN client that uses a VPN service like PIA? I'd love to be able to route all but a few specific devices (streaming devices or gaming consoles and this web server) to use PIA (this way, anyone can connect to my WiFi and their traffic is encrypted). I have seen a few tutorials doing it via OpenVPN, but none of those tutorials are as easy to follow as yours.

Thanks for this excellent tutorial. I want to setup a local server for my weather station to update to, this video has made it easy.

This is a really great tutorial - it is amazing what you can do with the right know how and a Raspberry Pi. Thanks!

Hey man got everything working fine thanks you, been wanting to do this for a while now. I had to do my own search when it came to setup the dns since I use Godaddy so it was very different but I eventually got there. For those of you who are using Godaddy you just need to change your Records to: Type: A, Name: www, Value: (your ip address) and click save if you have a CName that has www just delete it or change Cname to A.

Thanks very much for the great video! Love the step-by-step guide. Just throwing my two pence in. I'm from the UK so can't use Google domain, using 123-reg instead. I couldn't find my Pi's public IP easily but searched around and found that by simply typing 'curl ifconfig.me' in the command line, it'll return your public ip - just a tip for the minority :)

Awesome videos. Great how you explain everything from start to finish and give tips along the way. Really cool and useful videos. Thanks a lot

i love this video, i have done this not only on a Pi but in a few VM. thanks, and yes this is an old video that never gets old. 👍🏼

Amazing tutorial!! I think it would had been easier if you had a computer running Linux because Linux file system is more intuitive and it has a native interface to other computers.

Great tutorial man. Many thanks from India

This is a great tutorial, with excellent step by step instructions. Thank you very much.

this worked great! thanks for keeping it straight forward and simple.

For anyone who may run into this error: If you receive a message saying "connection refused" while trying to connect via Tera Term, all you need to do is add a blank file named "ssh" to your SD card. make sure the ssh file doesn't have any extension. (EX: .txt) After that, plug the SD card back into your Raspberry Pi and try connecting again. This should correct that error.

20:18 Note: php5, mysql-server , mysql-client are now outdated use: php, mariadb-server and mariadb-client

Great video, easy to follow for a beginner to Linux code. Seriously, great video thanks man.

As of Jan 23 of 2020, This Tutorial still stands up very well. I will say though that most of the packages that were used here are outdated (so if you typed exactly what he typed to download PHP5 or MySQL it will not work) But you can simply search for the updated versions. I will say however that I found that if you just use the BASIC Rasbian desktop (it gives it a GUI and is way easier to set up) it makes this process a lot more simple, LIKE BY A LOT. It also cuts down on how much you have to use a windows computer as you can search, edit files, and have the terminal open, all in a simple userface to understand.

You cant connect to the pi through SSH? Connect a keyboard and monitor to it, start it, log in, type "sudo raspi-config" and activate SSH. Afterwards it will work :)

is it okay if i do not connect the ethernet cable and connect it wirelessly with the wifi

THANK YOU!. Great tutorial, clear steps, showing and telling exactly what the heck should been typed/done, Thank you!

Methodical, detailed and very straight-forward. Thank-you!

Can the pi run 24/7 for a long time? I heard there was a flash limited lifetime or something of the sort. How would I set it up so it doesn't read off the SD card if that would help? This was a great tutorial mate, thanks for making it.

Great tutorial. Since you made this, ssh has been disabled by default on raspbian. This is easily turned on if using a screen with the pi. If you are using a 'headless pi', a empty file called 'ssh' needs to be added to the boot partition of the SD card (eg change directory to the boot partition and use the command: 'touch ssh'. See: raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/40689/cannot-connect-to-raspbian-jessie-lite-but-to-raspbian-jessie

Great man! I have been looking for this for some time now and yours is the first decent tutorial on how to do it! Congrats! I will try this in my Pi as soon as I can! Please do let us know about your VPN project!

This was a great tutorial and I was able to set my website up! thanks a lot!

Hi i'm having an issue at 20:34 where I get told "E: Package 'php5' has no installation candidate", i'm new to using a raspberry pi and have no clue what to do any ideas?

Hi, this tutorial helped me a lot, I just wanted to know if someone can help me by telling me how to use a Godaddy domain insted of a google one. I don't know what kind of script I should write. Thnx :)

Thanks so much - im new to the world of Pi - and indeed linux boxes and ive learned so much about both from this video i feel confident to have a go and jump right in. Please post some more! - the pace and information is spot on - well done and thanks again from the UK

Well done you are only the guy who help me to understand how to get domain on your static ip thanks to you

If you can't access your pi via SSH add a blank text file titled "ssh" onto the sd card.

Great tutorial but the recording froze

Awesome Video! Thank you! I will take on this project to host my own web page. I have shared with a couple of IT friends.

your sentence from 34:34 fixed a problem ive been trying to solve for 2 days now... thank you.

You can go to cgartwork.com and get Hello from my Raspberry Pi!

I'm getting connection refused at 12:34 Please help!

Thanks you for a Great Video...!!! Love the fact that you did not edit out all the fault finding. Its all to easy for the viewer to forget how much effort and dedication it takes to make technology work! Ps Love the sound of your keyboard... mx Blues?

Merci beaucoup! Après plusieurs heures de recherche, j'ai enfin trouvé le meilleur tutoriel! Fonctionnel, en HD, simple et bien expliquée!

This is the update line today 2020 sudo apt install apache2 php mariadb-server-10.0 mariadb-client-10.0

If Someone got connection refused when SSH its because all new rasbian update has now SSH disabled by defalut so you have to enable it manually: www.raspberrypi.org/blog/a-security-update-for-raspbian-pixel/ Reasoon why ssh is disabled as defalut its because to prevent Botnet and cyber attacks

this is so awesome. thanks for the vid. i've been looking at doing something interesting with a raspberry pi and i think this is it. i can run my pet projects with this.

Very good and detailed. Thank you for taking time and effort. Much appreciated.

I re-read my post to you, and actually it's a great video of how to ".com", but it could still really be updated to include SSL. Keep up the good work!

I will never thought it's so easy..... Hats off to you man.... Too good 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks ❤

Thanks for the awesome video. But I also have a side note: You spent this much time and energy to make this great tutorial; but WHY not maximizing the terminal at any point?!! You cannot imagine how much difference it makes for people watching it on a portable/mobile device, like I watched it on my tablet! If you ever decide to do another video, it would also be nice to add some more security configurations such as iptables, etc. But all in all, I am grateful for the excellent work you've done. Cheers,

Great video, Nicely laid out and easy to follow.

still a very good tutorial. your website also still works.. with the same text.. :D thanks!

Amazing tutorial, I was struggling when I first using Linux, because the command looks complex to me. Even now I am not an absolute beginner, despite knowing the "man" and "--help" and "info", I still sometimes have to search on internet for a more detailed explanation. I really hope that I could have watched your tutorial eariler to have less pain in my FYP. Many thanks, keep that up, bro, you deserve a lot more subscribers.

Amazing tutorial . Keep up making this kind of stuff . Thanks.

Hey nice one man! I followed your video all the way through and finally got a webserver on my raspberry pi 3 that was sitting in my cupboard for ages! The only problem I had was with Swish but downloaded putty and works like a gem! Although it has taken me nearly 2-3 days after frustration from downloading different program's recommended by different territorial videos on you tube I finally made it to the end with yours so just wanna say Thank you and Happy New Year! Haz

Excellent Video!! I'm currently studying various programming languages in college, right now I'm taking web designs with HTML, CSS and Javascript and I think having a website to display my works and content to possible employers can really give me a step up on the competition!

Thank you for creating this video, a great help. Cheers.

Thank you for your awesome tutorials !!!!!! You are the BEST !!!!

Thank you upgrdman! It is very helpful course. Appreciated!!
