	You should get an email listing your dedicated IP, port, and other info for logging in. You will need an SFTP client such as [https://filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla] to upload files, as well as an SSH client. I personally use and prefer https://termius.com/, because I like the terminal and it doesn't weirdly close for no reason. I also use NMM File Manager from the [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.mfile&pli=1 Google Play Store] for editing the files of the server~~, since Termius can't do that~~.

 Now go to your domain and it should say hello world :)
+{{Info|to run multiple domains, make a template for each.  Have your second node project use port 3001 instead of 3000.  You would then repeat the steps of touching, chmodding, and editing the three node3000 files, but this time call them node3001 and change the ports mentioned in them from 3000 to 3001.  Then, as the template on your second node project, you would select node3001 instead of node3000.}}

	~~I am a noob and~~ chmod 755 is supposed to work ~~while still restricting some users, but didn't work for me. 777 allows any user to edit~~ the file. ~~This doesn~~'t ~~mean random people~~ on ~~the internet can edit it, but if you are a business~~ that ~~shares the webserver with multiple users each with their own login, each one can edit this file~~. So I used 777, but feel free to do it correctly instead (if you know how).		chmod 755 is supposed to work and give only the owner of the file permission to mess with it. But the /src folder is deep in the server and owned by root instead of normal accounts and I couldn't log in as root on nmm that I know of. So I used 777, but feel free to do it correctly instead (if you know how).
