Objective

Blue Hill Hosting offers VPS customers pre-installed application images as add-ons at the time of ordering the VPS servers for quick and easy deployment of applications with a few clicks only.

This guide will provide the first steps for each and every pre-installed application web panels image on our VPS

This section only applies to WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and Prestashop installations. It will not work for other installations.

1. You must create or edit two A records in the Blue Web Hosting Control Panel which point to the IP address of your VPS server. For example, if your domain name is “bluehillhosting.com” then you need to create A records for:
   • bluehillhosting.com
   • www.bluehillhosting.com

2. You may need to wait 24 hours before the two records propagate fully. You can always check it with mxtoolbox. If the IP for your domain is showing on MX toolbox the same as your server’s IP address then you can proceed to the next step.
3. SSH into your server with the CentOS user and execute the following commands to install Certbot.

sudo -i
dnf install -y epel-release
dnf install -y certbot python3-certbot-apache mod_ssl
echo "ServerName personaldomain.ovh;" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
systemctl restart httpd

certbot certonly -d personaldomain.ovh --webroot

certbot -d bluehillhosting.com --apache
