Host and Build a Blog using Drupal and Cloudways

In this video, you’ll learn how to build a Drupal site from start to finish. We start by setting up hosting for the site and pointing to a custom domain name.

Once hosting has been set up, we start building out the site. We create a custom content type, configure layout builder, add media functionality, create a bunch of custom view pages and much more.

I’ve broken out the video into sections below with timecodes and extra resources. For the content below to make any sense, you should follow along by watching the video.
