Title: help with initial set up of vps
Post by: payb.tc on October 21, 2011, 03:10:25 PM
if anyone can help me with a vps setup i'd appreciate it.

i've used cpanel plenty of times before but never 'whm' so i'm lost there.

i've paid for a vps and need to get my initial domain set up but don't know the best way to do it.

i'm NOT a reseller... so i guess my question is, can i set up heaps of domains under just one cpanel/ftp account or do i need to make a separate account for each?

i've contacted support and they are somewhat helpful but slow to respond.

If your VPS have kloxo just install it, it has a control panel you may feel comfortable with.
However kloxo relies on CentOS 5 and can't run bitcoind.
For bitcoind you'll need Debian 6, you can install Webmin over Debian for manage it from an interface.

On cpanel you can setup many domains under just one account as long as you activate the addon-domains to the package of your user.

But, for security/organizational reasons I would advise you to install each domain under a diferent user.

If you need help with WHM shoot me a PM.
Or I can tell you how I would do it.

1- Create a reseller account on WHM(to avoid using root as a reseller)
2- Create hosting packages
3- Attribute packages to the reseller
4- Login to the reseller account
5- Create user/users
6- Login user(s) to cpanel and configure the domain(s)
