Why the hell would you buy a NAT VPS to host a website when you have got no fucking clue about it? If it's for 'learning', you need to learn the art of performing a google search first.
PS: http://forum.lowendspirit.com/viewtopic.php?id=441
Add your domain to CloudFlare and use the IPv6 address of your VPS.
Install Apache etc and wordpress.
CloudFlare will convert the IPv6 address to an IPv4 that will allow you to see the website normally.
A VPS is not the easiest way to do that. Depending on where you got your domain, it may come with free basic web hosting, or else you can try shared hosting which will be simpler (though less flexible) than a vps.
Im using it for personal VPN/Proxy.
Its super easy to install VPN/Proxy with github scripts.
I looked into it but i thought maybe there is a way to do it with VPS before spending money.
Edit:Sorry for double post.
This doesn't really qualify as a "Help" question. If you don't know anything about what you're doing, hire someone who does.
Installing wordpress should be easy, take a look at easy engine https://easyengine.io/ . I have never done this on a nat vps, maybe others will help you with that. With128 mb ram you should better go with nginx cache option in easyengine.
Might be tight on 128mb without some tweaks and optimisation.
^^ - Pretty much.
It wont be a professional website. Im not expecting any visitor. I will use it for post some unimportant stuff and learn a few things. I just wondered is it possible to do it with what i have now.
thank you i will look into it
The easiest would be to install CENTMIN MOD https://community.centminmod.com/. It has server and a wordpress automatic install. It is really easy when you READ the install guide and the forum. God bless you!
He created this thread because he wants to learn... If it were me and I needed help doing something the first thing I would do would be to post my questions up on a forum too.
This is exactly what you need to do. Nothing more.
He is looking for help... That is a "Help" question... =D
@Hukumdar If you need more help feel free to pm me I would be happy to help =D
Install Apache, edit default index.html located in var www somwhere with;
<html> <h1>PBGBEN for PRESIDENT</h1></html>It's doesn't matter how "professional" it is or isn't. There is just a base level of skill/knowledge you have to have to get things started. It'd be the same if you were building a car or flying an airplane.
Of course it's possible; it's what pretty much everyone here is doing. But it doesn't just happen by running a couple scripts you don't understand. You have to show some basic initiative in getting things started (e.g., try running WP on your 128MB VPS and read up on what is necessary to point a DNS entry to something that works with your NAT).
If you run into a concrete problem, then you'll have a legitimate "Help" question. Until then, it just sounds like you want someone to do a job for you.
if you want to learn web hosting etc, I can explain my way:
buy a vps from arubacloud. Monthly 1 euro; 1 gb ram, 1 ip. Things will be very easy when you have an ipv4, and 1 gb ram will be plenty: https://www.arubacloud.com
Any vps would do, but cheap vps's are usually on yearly terms. If you are low on budget, arubacloud will be better because of monthly payment.
search tutorials (especially digital ocean has good beginner tutorials) for example:
i) setting up ubuntu server: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-16-04
ii) setting up apache, php, mysql: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04
ii) installing wordpress: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-lamp-on-ubuntu-16-04
3) for setting your domain name to point this server's ip, you have to change A records in your domain registrar. The exact steps are different among registrars.
Yes, you can install any linux but there are more ubuntu manuals/tutorials/how-to's for beginners in internet.
Definitely i have no intention to make someone do it for me.
i've tried centminmod but i have not enough space unfortunately.
I'm trying to learn this cloudflare ipv6->ipv4 proxy thing now.
I will try easyengine next.
I appreciate any help thank you
Hukumdar, which host did you buy your vps from? If it's an OpenVZ, why not go to the control panel and see if they have a Wordpress template? Installing that is the simplest way.
It was the first thing i did but they have only Teamspeak3 template
Which host is it? Maybe you can the vps back to them for a shared hosting plan.
I found a tutorial on the web i will try asap

Do you mean memory? Is so you can install it on vps with less than 256 of memory. You have to us the 128 variable tweak. God bless you!
https://centminmod.com/faq.html #15
On centminmod.com OpenVZ based VPS servers, if you selected 'y' to <256MB installation prompts at install time, with full software install - Nginx v1.11.x, PHP 5.5 PHP-FPM, MariaDB 10.0.xx, Zend OpCache, 1x Memcached server instance, CSF firewall, NSD DNS, siege bench, the idle memory usage falls between 112-130MB.
Does centminmod have minimum disk requirement such as 20 GB?
@Hukumdar all you need to do is install apache2 with the apt-get command. I'd write this stuff out in two lines for you, but this forum is behind the Cloudflare censor.
After you install apache, you will find there is an index.html file in the var www directory. You will be amazed at how easy it is to edit that and learn some basic html. And yes, you will automatically be on the web already after you install apache. Try it, you'll like it.
No, I have it on the $3.49 OVH VPS and it is blazing fast. It comes optimized for performance.
Necromancer...
Start with three seashells..
That post is outdated. ipv4 and ipv6 is always on now.
this is what you need to do first before hosting any CMS or framework web app like wordpress, joomla,drupal,laravel,codeigniter etc Upgrade ur VPS first, bad idea if you still insist with 128mb,atleast , for staitng i suggest 512mb, then search on your favorite search engine "how to install LAMP (Linux -Apache - Mysql /MariaDB and PHP) on your choosen distro(centos/rhel/fedore , ubuntu/debian ,etc etc)".
next continue learn how to install framework cms (php) on your lamp vps.
I don't think those 128mb nat vps could run wordpress. It only has 1/2 cpu And you can't use 100% of your 1/2 cpu.
