You've built live-data proxies, relayers, bots — real servers that only run while your PC is on. A VPS is a small computer in a datacenter that is entirely yours, awake around the clock. This workshop takes you from "what's SSH?" to a hardened Hostinger VPS running your Node services behind a real domain with a real padlock.

What the server does
Ch. 1 / The picture ▶ narrated
Shared hosting is a shelf in someone else's warehouse: perfect for websites, useless for a Node proxy that must answer on port 8787 at 3am. A VPS — virtual private server — is your own room: your operating system, your ports, your processes, running whether your PC is on or not. Everything you've been running on localhost can finally live online.
Ch. 2 / The dividing line ▶ narrated
The dividing line is one question: does it need to KEEP RUNNING between requests? Sort these six real workloads.
Ch. 3 / The core skill ▶ narrated
The demo up top is the entire go-live sequence — connect, install, run forever, open the door, lock it down. Run all five while I narrate what each really does.
Ch. 4–12 / Locked
You've heard the setup. The remaining 9 chapters are where Hostinger VPS actually gets built — the guardrails, the hands-on builds, the full narrated walkthrough and the end-of-workshop check.
