# 2.1: Setting Up a Bitcoin-Core VPS with Bitcoin Standup
22

3-
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.

> :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/ . 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.
