I have googled over and over again and my head is spining am not asking you to tell me how just a few good site maybe etc....

Thanks

If you want a simple and cheap (free) interface to admin your new vps, install both of these.

webmin & virtualmin

Wow mate thats way past my skills i dont even know the first thing about SSH yet :eek:

Ill google and make my head spin more
Cheers

P.S will i need both or one:erm:

both, just read the install docs.

Thanks mate i think its still passed my skills but will have a looky
dam shame that CPanel costs i got on ok with that :D

you can have both installed with about 5 cmds. all listed at the sites for both, in fact if you install virtualmin first, it will grab and install webmin for you.

Ok Thanks ill try me best :D

I would have thought the cost of a hosting control panel was well worth the money when you consider all the tools that it gives "out of the box" - it can make a "green" server admin very effective very quickly.

Take a look at DirectAdmin for Linux Hosting too - Cpanel is also good - but I find DirectAdmin very easy to use interface (as compared).

If "no" to the above - then perhaps a standard "LAMP" install with phpmyadmin and webmin as suggested earlier. There are prepackaged ISOs that you can get (search Google) with all this pre-configured.

BTW - what Virtual platform is your server on? Xen, OpenVZ or Hyper-V?

Feature wise, virtualmin easily handles its own against any of those NON-FREE panels.

Easily beats direct admin in features as well as use.

Easily beats out cpanel when it comes to resources, namely ram.

Eaily beats any of them (plesk, cpanel, directadmin) simply because webmin & virtualmin are FREE

virtualmin looks cool - will check it out! thanks!

Don't misunderstand me but instead of spending the time with Panels I think it's better to learn what these buttons really mean.
Until one knows, Shared Hosting or a managed Server might be the better choice - just think about the worst case scenario someone hijacked your machine for sharing Warez or other illegal content.
Later such panels can be installed anyways, but depending on them to do anything isn't the best idea.

Dont have the coin for paying for managed mate or i would
and learning this panel is hard for me lol
am still not even close to making a database or even logging in looks like ive wasted more money i dont have hehe

i cant do nothing lol
i have no site and paying for the hosting oh well :D
Cheers

Install webmin if you want to get hacked to shit mate. Pay someone to secure your box and set everything up.

isp config is good :P

Just a possibility, if you kept your server updated you wouldn't get hacked.
