How to host your own website on your own server
You can host a website on hardware you control: a computer, mini-PC, Raspberry Pi, virtual machine or existing Linux server.
Dexlinkx helps make this easier by giving you a dashboard for setup, domains, SSL, databases, updates and monitoring.
The simple version
Hosting your own website means your website runs on a machine you own or control, instead of only using a traditional hosting company.
2. Connect a domain
Your domain points visitors to your server. SSL keeps the connection secure with HTTPS.
3. Manage the server
You need updates, monitoring, backups and a clear way to manage sites. Dexlinkx Beta is built to help with this layer.
How Dexlinkx helps
Dexlinkx does not replace your server. It helps you use your own server with a guided control panel.
Guided setup
Dexlinkx Beta includes server installation, pairing and clear connection instructions.
Website tools
Create and manage static sites, PHP sites, WordPress, Laravel and static frontend apps from one dashboard.
Control stays with you
Your files, databases and apps stay on your server. You can still use SSH and manage the machine yourself.
