When selecting a place to host your Drupal site (or any kind of website) you may feel stuck between the many commercial products out there, from Plesk and CPanel to third-party ISP hosting. There is another option: you can still build your own fully open-source web server in the tradition known as LAMP (Linux, Apache HTTPD, MySQL, PHP). We'll step through the process of standing up a LAMP server in the modern era, including how to configure it for multiple sites through virtual hosting options, and how to keep things reasonably secure. It's not as easy as using a third-party ISP, but it's not rocket science and it's a whole lot cheaper in the long run.
