Hello Dp. I am going to purchase unmanaged dedicated server. I contact The hosting Company and they said they will setuo the server but they did not configure and setup cpanel and whm. Please Guide me how to configure and cpanel and server and how to install security software. I am new in unmanaged server. so please help me out.
cpanel is not easy to set up and get it secure, so it would be better to either pay someone (who knows what they are doing, pref from the cpanel's own forum for your safety) or chose a host that will set it up for you.
cPanel is easy to install - update your server, ensure that you have gcc installed and do cd /home wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest sh latest You need to buy a license after trial period when cPanel is fully functional
I suggest you read the entire content of cpanel's and whm's users manual. After reading the two manuals, you'd be more confident on what you wanna do with cpanel and whm.
guys thanks for help but if some one tell me step by step because its first time i gonna purchase and setup cpanel
Try to figure out why cPanel. cd /home wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest sh latest wait go to http://youripaddress:2086 with root's password for WHM Once created an account go to http://youripaddress:2082 with this account credentials
Do yourself a Favor, take server mgt. The good one i know is PSM. they just take $29USD/mo and you can request them to install anything including initial server setup and security Harding. best there no limit on no of tickets

If you have no experience in server management then I suggest to hire admin to manage your server. Kailash
Hire some person who having a knowledge of all server. So, that he will manage your server with out any issues.
