Multi-Site VPS Setup

I need several new blogs built from the ground up and hosted on a freshly configured VPS. Each site is a content hub for videos, images, and other creative media, so the layout must be fast, responsive, and media-friendly.

Your first task is to prepare the VPS: harden the server, install and tune the web stack, and make sure SSL, daily backups, and basic monitoring are all in place. Once the server is production-ready, spin up multiple instances of the CMS we settle on—WordPress, Ghost, or any comparable platform is fine—so long as it gives editors an intuitive content-posting and editing toolset.

The workflow should allow me (and a small team) to upload large video or image files without time-outs, manage categories and tags easily, and push content live in one click. Multilingual plugins or schemas aren’t necessary on the front end, but we will communicate throughout the project in both Chinese and English, so please be comfortable switching between the two.

Deliverables
• Hardened, optimised VPS with documented setup steps
• Multiple live blog sites, each on its own domain or subdomain
• CMS configured with rich-media posting and editing tools
• Written deployment guide so I can add future sites on the same server

Once the first site is signed off, replicate the process for the remaining sites; expect a short functional check after each rollout. If this sounds straightforward, let’s start with the server credentials and timeline.

Websites will be in simplified Chinese. Need to communicate in Chinese and English.
