root@raspberrypi:~#  wget https://packages.raspberry-hosting.com/nginx-raspberry-pi/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params -O /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
root@raspberrypi:~#  wget https://packages.raspberry-hosting.com/nginx-raspberry-pi/etc/nginx/nginx.conf -O /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

root@raspberrypi:~#  wget http://deb.best-hosting.cz/_scripts_/nginx/fastcgi_params -O /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
root@raspberrypi:~#  wget http://deb.best-hosting.cz/_scripts_/nginx/nginx.conf -O /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

10. Install PHP-FPM and configure it how you need:

root@raspberrypi:~# apt-get install php5-fpm
root@raspberrypi:~# nano /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf
root@raspberrypi:~# nano /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf (or your-domain-name-here.com.conf) simply as you need

11. Restart NGINX & PHP-FPM:

root@raspberrypi:~# /etc/init.d/php-fpm restart && /etc/init.d/nginx restart

Enjoy!

In case of an update package, be very careful and keep a back-up of all configuration files from /etc/nginx/ !

It was an awesome experience for me to visit www.WebHostingGeeks.com and know about the cost-effective options for web hosting that are going to suit my needs.

One of my friends used to say that it feels easy to visit the websites of your friends and speak about its looks, but it is equally tough to start your own website. Now, when I am in process of creating a website, I have come to realise that he was right. However, I was lucky enough to find http://godaddy-coupons.longest.com/godaddy-hosting-coupon.html and get lucrative discount for web hosting.
