@@ -6,14 +6,6 @@ The purpose of my site, [https://xevion.dev](https://xevion.dev), is to display
I'll display my previous projects, as well as play with how Python and Flask work, using SQLite Databases and more.
I won't be putting up anything on there that I won't be putting on GitHub, as I want to put a separate repository on my profile and update both my site and my repository at the same time (maybe use some kind of crazy webhooks stuff to have them automatically update?).
## Hosting Method
## About
My site is hosted via a cheap droplet on DigitalOcean, so far my experience with them has been pretty ok, but the ticketing system and support you get from them - I don't recommend trying unless your problem is simple. It took my issue literal hours to actually end up in their system, you have to wait for them to approve your question.
I hope to try out different services, like AWS to host my servers next, but otherwise, their tutorial section for their server stuff is brilliant, I highly recommend taking a look if you want to host anything, whether you're hosting through them, or another service entirely.
I'm currently using NameCheap to get my domain, although Google Domains offered a slightly cheaper option for my domain, and there are quite a lot of buttons and useless stuff in the NameCheap control panel, which I don't appreciate in the slightest.
For my SSL, I used the [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/) HTTPS tool to get my SSL Certificate through Let's Encrypt, and while I was having issues (some pretty newb level ones, honestly), the Let's Encrypt community helped me with a lightning fast response time.
I was hoping to get a Hastebin server through node at a URL under root, i.e. `https://xevion.dev/hastebin/` so I could play around with a node application, but I've been unsuccessful in getting nginx to play nicely, or perhaps it's just nodes/pm2's fault. I don't really know as I'm bad at server level stuff at the moment.
