Prerequisites & Requirements
What you need before starting this Create a Client Network by Hosting WordPress Sites course:
- Students should understand that this course will be face-paced screencasts of the process, where I explain what we're doing and why.
- This course is for students with a Mac (or Linux-based) or Windows machine. Students with a Mac should have the Terminal app (or similar) installed. Windows students will need puTTY. Both of which we will cover in the Getting Started steps.
- You should come prepared to spend a few dollars on a new VPS hosting plan; in this course I use RamNode. This course does not cover or test other providers, and although the material and scripts should work on other hosts, to learn the material successfully, and follow through the steps exactly, it's required you follow along using this provider. Once you've learned the material successfully, you should be able to take this knowledge and apply it with only minor modifications based on how the hosting provider works - if any differently.
- You should own at least 1 domain, through GoDaddy, for example. We'll use the top-level or a sub-domain for the course.

Where this course fits
Certifications in this area
Concepts behind this area
Python
Python is a general-purpose programming language that became the standard interface for driving numerical and machine-learning code written in other languages.
Git
Git is a distributed version control system that records the history of a set of files as a graph of snapshots, lets many people work on branches of that history at once, and merges their work back together.
HTTP
HTTP is the request-and-response protocol of the web: a client sends a method, a path and headers, a server answers with a status code, headers and a body, and each exchange stands alone unless the two sides agree to carry state in a header.
Load Balancing
Load balancing is the practice of putting one entry point in front of several interchangeable servers and distributing incoming requests among them by a chosen policy, so that no single machine carries the traffic and no single machine's failure takes the service down.
CDN (Content Delivery Network)
A CDN is a worldwide network of servers that answers requests for your site from a location near the person asking, instead of sending every request back to the single machine your site runs on.
DNS (Domain Name System)
DNS is the distributed lookup system that turns a hostname such as getting-digital.net into the IP address a browser can connect to, by walking a chain of nameservers whose answers are then cached for a lifetime the domain's owner publishes.
