    Do you have any control panel installed on the VPS? If not, you should install because managing domains without the control panel is somewhat difficult.

    You may ask the host to install plesk control panel. Most of the host does provide control panels.. Plesk control panel for VPSes are available at per domain rate. 1 domain is free, 30 domains cost around 4 or 5 $ per month..and so on

    Lxadmin is a good start, its alot better than CPANEL imo.

    CPANEL is a resource hog and you need at least 256mb memory to even run it.

    Did the host not even add your domain to it?

    The support of this hosting is very very bad, even they do not reply on email. So it is very difficult to contact with them. They have not added domain also.
    They have only provided user name and password, but i can not do anything from there.

    lxadmin is good mate, while its not as easy as cpanel.
    you should take advantage over it.

    don't expect support if your vps is unmanaged one ;)

    I think it is time to find a new provider.

    I'd recommend going with cPanel instead of Lxadmin as the learning curve for Lxadmin is very high and the problem is, is that tutorials/a community for it is severally lacking. You will more then likely be on your own if you stay with Lxadmin. Like I said, change providers and get cPanel.

    its easy mate, you just need to spend some times to mess with it
    first thing to do is to setup a default domain, its simple just go to the dns template menu and create one template (add NS,MX records for the ip) then add the domain and make it default, so whenever you want to add some additional domains you can use that for your default nameservers.

    just dont be afraid, if you're messed the thing you can always revive the OS thru the hypervm

    LxAdmin is great, but most people stick to cPanel because thats what they know - LxAdmin is great for your own personal websites and clients.

    Did your VPS come with HyperVM? If so there is a inbuilt File Manager in that that you can use from your web browser, if not i recommend using WinSCP with your SSH Login, that lets you browse, edit, upload etc
