What would i require to get my simple bolt site online ?

Post by gautamz07 »

Hey guys , i just want to build a simple "UI/UX gallery site"(a site that showcases simple front end designs), Now this site will be built using bolt CMS, Now i have never really built a site for myself , what would i require to get my bolt site online ? I listed the following so far:

- domain name.
- hosting space(hostgator maybe)


What else ? i have been thinking of this for quite sometime now.


Thank you.

Have you considered how you're planning on deploying? You'll most likely want to make sure you pick a hosting that offers SSH access. For a simple site, you really don't need much. LAMP stack, SSH access, and a domain should about cover it.

How do you plan on getting your project onto the server?

Capistrano is a good option. Barring that, you could pull it in with Git.

That go me thinking ... i just want the most barebone way to get my site up , not looking to keep things efficient at all ! , however , thanks for the suggestion , i'll keep that in mind for a future project of mind :)

For now i'll just stick with xampp and filezilla or cyberduck :D now sure how good or bad a choice that is going to be.

That's going to be painful as you start making updates.

Capistrano might be an issue if you're using Windows, I don't think Ruby and Windows play well together. Even SSH + Git is way better than using FTP, especially if you need to roll something back.
