Deploy Site to Linux Server

I have a fully developed website sitting on my local machine and a dedicated Linux server ready to receive it. What I need now is the practical, hands-on work of moving those files, configuring the environment, linking the domain, and confirming that everything runs flawlessly once it’s online.

Here’s what the job involves:
• Upload all website files to the dedicated server
• Configure any necessary server settings (virtual hosts, permissions, environment variables, etc.)
• Point the domain correctly and handle SSL—whether we use the certificate I already own or generate a new one is something we can decide together
• Test every page, form, and resource to be sure the deployment is error-free, resolving any issues that appear

The server is Linux based, so please be comfortable working in that environment—SSH, command-line tools, and typical web-stack configuration should be second nature to you. Prior experience with hosting control panels or direct server management on dedicated hardware is essential.

If you’ve successfully deployed sites to a Linux dedicated server before and can troubleshoot quickly, I’d love to get this live with your help.
