Webservers : A Basic introduction and Help.

Okay so now a days, Linux seems to be the most popular OS being used in servers, in terms of cloud servers.
There are many types of Linux Distributions (distro's) Some common ones are:
-Ubuntu
-CentOS
-Debian
-Redhat
-Gentoo


There are a load more that exist and are uncoverable.
I will show you some basic stuff that you can do if you are new to this OS or even new to any server.
So you probably purchased a server for a reason, cloud servers are mainly leased on purpose of Web aspects. (Web servers)


So if you are going to be using your server as a Webserver you would want to do the following proceedures.


First of all you will need an SSH client, which will connect to your server through an IP,(IPv4,5) address.
An SSH server is similar to command prompt or Terminal and will control your sever.
After you have been authenticated in SSH, you would want to install some shizz on your new server.
For webserver purposes these are the most needed programms/softwares.
-Apache ( A Must )
-PHP (also a must )
-SQL
-nginx
-Java


There are many more you would need but these are the basics.
You will then need to protect your sever with a firewall.
There are many types of firewalls that support different distro's so you will have to research that yourself.
There is also an option of iptables which is a very important stage.
