It's pretty simple.
1. Sign up to Digital Ocean.
2. Decide on the size of the droplet.
3. If the droplet size has 512MB of RAM then install Centos 6 - 32 Bit version -or-
3. If the droplet size has 1GB or more of RAM then install Centos 6 - 64 Bit version
4. Once the droplet is created log in to it as root.
5. Create a swap file of between 1GB and 2GB depending upon requirements use the instructions below:
https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...ap-on-centos-6
6. Reboot the server then login again as root and make sure your swap file is activated on boot by running the
free command.
7. Now install Centos Web Panel using the instructions below
Installation | CentOS Web Panel
8. While Centos Web Panel is installing decide upon the domains you want to host on the server and create a Cloudflare account then add those domains. You want to point the domain's A record at the Digital Ocean server IP address. Create a CNAME record for www at the domain.
9. Change the nameserver records at your registrar to the ones provided by Cloudflare
10. Now Centos Web Panel has completed installing log in and add accounts for each domain and create a database for each blog in the account control panel.
11. Install Wordpress.
Done.
