PPanel Easy Mode: Set Up Domain & Nginx in 3 Minutes for Complete Beginners | PPanel安装前戏：小白3分钟搞定域名 + Nginx配置🔥

Hey, wanna install PPanel? Hold up—gotta get your domain and Nginx ready first. Otherwise, it's like trying to make instant noodles without hot water... just staring at dry noodles! 😂 What you need: A domain (I use Cloudflare, example is sahara.de5.net—swap in your own, okay?) + A server with root access (don't tell me you don't have one yet～).

Pro move: Add an A record (or AAAA for IPv6) in your domain DNS settings, pointing to your server's IP. Once that's done, SSH into your server (I went straight for Google Cloud), and let's roll!

Easy, right? Follow along, no crashes guaranteed—because I've already crashed for you! 🚗💨

嘿！想装PPanel？先别急——域名和Nginx得安排上，不然就像煮泡面没开水，干瞪眼！😂 你需要啥：一个域名（我托管在Cloudflare，示例是sahara.de5.net，你换成自己的哦！）+ 一台有root权限的服务器（别告诉我还没有～）。

骚操作：在域名托管那儿加个A记录（IPv6就加AAAA），把域名指向服务器IP。搞定后，ssh连上服务器（我直接怼了谷歌云），准备开整！

简单吧？跟着走，不翻车，因为我翻过车了～🚗💨
