How to host a domain name with your VPS

I just got a VPS hosting package from oplink and also all I see is a terminal.
Can someone tell me or guide me on how to host a domain name on a VPS with only a terminal to install all stuffs like lamp and all.
Thanks
I am a newbie in this.Can someone help me with this?
Thanks

 

I believe that it will be a good idea to contact web hosting provider's support team and ask them to explain you..

 

Hi,

Have you already contacted your provider or not?

just curious what they told you..

 

I contacted the Hosting Provider and they told they enabled Reverse DNS and added the Domain name.
Here are the Replies Which I got from them

Now after that I asked them Can I have more than 1 Domain Name hosted with them,they gave me this answer

I dont know what he meant by that and I dont know where to proceed from here.Can someone help me out

 

Why don't you go with a Managed VPS Hosting Service provider rather then struggling yourself with such tech issues. Also try to get WHM/cPanel with your server which will help you to manage your server effectively.

 

Its better if you contact your host provider tech support.

 

Actually I got a free VPS offer from one VPS company,ie why I choosed that.
Is there any Guide which explains how to host a Website or Run Scripts on a hosted VPS
That would be great
thanks

 

Assuming you're on CentOS machine, do this in SSH:

yum install httpd
yum install php
yum install mysql-server mysql
service httpd start
service mysqld start

And then put your website's file on /var/www/html

That's the very basic thing you can do, however I agree with everyone else, that you shouldn't use an unmanaged vps without any control panel if you're not an expert in system administration. Better to switch to a managed provider or purchase control panel (like cPanel or DirectAdmin) license.

 

try kloxo it's a free control panel that is similar to cpanel it's easy to install and use
