Set Up Apache on DigitalOcean

I need a freshly created DigitalOcean droplet configured as a production-ready web server running Apache. You will handle the entire setup process, from spinning up the droplet to handing back SSH access and a short hand-over document so I can deploy sites immediately.

The job covers:
• Droplet creation (Ubuntu preferred) and initial hardening
• Full Apache installation and configuration, including virtual hosts for multiple domains
• SSL via Let’s Encrypt with auto-renewal
• UFW or equivalent firewall rules allowing only required ports
• Swap file, basic tuning, and any best-practice performance tweaks
• DNS guidance so the domains point correctly once records propagate

Once everything is live, a brief checklist documenting commands run, locations of key config files, and how to add future sites will complete the engagement.
