Requirements for installing a new website on your HestiaCP VPS dedicated server

To add a website, you first need a domain name. A domain name is like the postal address of a house, but for finding a website on the Internet. Instead of giving complicated details, such as a series of numbers (called an IP address, for example 142.250.185.164 for Google), we use names that are easy to remember and type in, such as google.com. The domain name is therefore used as a shortcut to access a range of services on the Internet, such as websites, e-mail services and online storage spaces.
