1. Pick a machine to host. Select Ubuntu LTS 22.04 as the operating system, and make sure at least 2GB/1CPU is chosen. We recommend DigitalOcean* using the link provided you get $200 for the next 60 days for free. We personally use a 2GB/2CPU machine to host a few projects on a single machine. hetzner.com, cloud.oracle.com are worth checking out too!
2. Point DNS to IP address of this machine. Buy a domain (example.com) on Namecheap. Don't worry about SSL, it will be installed by selfhostnext. After purchase, click on Manage, then Advanced DNS, and enter Host Records as shown below. Replace 1.1.1.1 with your machines IP address from step 1.

Type        Host    Value
---         ---     ---
A Record    @       1.1.1.1
A Record    *       1.1.1.1

3. Connect a terminal to the machine.
4. Install with one command. Paste the command from your purchase, received via email, into the terminal on your server.
