# 2.1: Setting Up a Bitcoin-Core VPS with Bitcoin Standup # 2.1: Setting Up a Bitcoin-Core VPS with Bitcoin Standup
> :information_source: **NOTE:** This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning.
This document explains how to set up a VPS (Virtual Private Sever) to run a Bitcoin node on Linode.com, installed using an automated StackScript from the [Bitcoin Standup project](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Bitcoin-Standup-Scripts). You just need to enter a few commands and boot your VPS. Almost immediately after you boot, you'll find find your new Bitcoin node happily downloading blocks.

It is very nice to be able experiment with real bitcoin transactions on a live node without tying up a self-hosted server on a local network. It's also useful to be able to use an iPhone or iPad to communicate via SSH to your VPS to do some simple bitcoin tasks. But a higher level of safety is required for significant funds. > :warning: **WARNING:** Don’t use a VPS for a bitcoin wallet with significant real funds; see http://blog.thestateofme.com/2012/03/03/lessons-to-be-learned-from-the-linode-bitcoin-incident/ .
