Need Help Setting up a Linux Dedicated Server

    Hello! I currently built my own server to be used to host websites. I am new to linux and need help setting it up. I have set up the Open SSH so you can log on remotely and configure the server. Please PM me with your questions/prices. Ask all and any questions you may have about the server. I'm not looking to pay much since I already paid a lot for this server, but we'll work something out.

    I have both Ubuntu and Fedora disks, so I can load either of those on, or anything else you might suggest.

    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Can you PM me more details about your server?
    Do you have WHM or Plesk installed?
    Thanks

    I really have nothing but the OS installed. And OpenSSH. I was hoping for a free control panel, such as Webmin, or anything else that's good and free. This is a brand new server with nothing installed. I need help configuring it. Thanks.

    I think you should ask your server provider to add cPanel for you!
    Even if it's a paid component (not much) but if you want to have a SERVER, you need cPanel and other alternative can't replace it.
    However, if you still want to use another system to manage your server, let me know, I can do it for you even if I really recommend you cPanel and WHM.
    Who is your server provider?

    If you had read my original post, It is my own server. I built it myself, and it is running from home. I would like to be able to host my own website, and possibly use it as an online harddrive for myself. So I do not have cpanel or anything on it...

    We can install webmin for you. or any other free control panel of your choice.

    Yes, I need everything installed. Apache, mysql, dns, control panel, and basically anything I need to start hosting a website. This is a brand new server with nothing installed on it.

    Hi, I can help you get this all setup and configured, and a control panel installed.
    If you're interested add me on MSN, support[@]myprohost.com

    Will only take me a couple hours to get this setup for you.

    Thanks.
