 Hugo itself is a static site generator, meaning it takes relatively simple input in the form of markup files and outputs working html code. The webserver, in this case nginx, will be used to host these files on the internet. Web hosting requires some understanding of how DNS works and a domain name, which I will not be going over in this guide, but will describe briefly, enough for most people to figure it out.

+Disconnect from the hugo server and ssh into the web server. The files that were just transferred to the web server need to be placed into the /var/www/html directory or any other directory of your choosing, just remember to change the web root in the nginx config to match.
+Move the files in the publish directory to /var/www/html and set the permissions

+Restart nginx

+If everything went as expected, your hugo website should be available at your domain or IP, albeit without encryption.
