Recreating MediaWiki Install, but running on a Namecheap virtual machine.

Get a Machine

Go to Namecheap VPS Hosting.
Pick periodicity - I'm using Monthly for my first pass. If I like it, I'll up it to yearly to get the discount.
Click on "Get Started" under the "Pulsar" class (or whatever you want - in my experience, Pulsar is enough for modest loads).
1) Hosting Customization: Set your settings, here is what I'm using:
1. Hosting Plan: Pulsar
2. Billing Cycle: Monthly
3. RAM: 2 GB
4. Disk Space: 40 GB
5. Server Management Plan: User Responsible
6. Web Panel: None
7. Operating System: Debian
8. Click "Next Step"
2) Domain Name Connection
1. Connect to: Existing Domain Name
  - It will make it seem like you have to use a Namecheap domain and ask you to log in. Once you log in, it will show the option to use a third party domain.
2. Existing Domain Name: Your Third-Party Domain Name
3. Find a Domain Name: yourdomain.org
4. Click "Add to Cart"
