I just ordered a VPS and I am unable to add hosting to my domain. How can i add hosting to it? When I asked it to my hosting provider, they replied, Do I have to install plesk or what to do?
Without control panel, you will need strong knowledge of Server administration to host web sites and also your client will not be able to manage the web site from their end. I suggest to install plesk or cpanel on your VPS. It will be easy for you to manage web sites using control panel.
I am on a tight budget. So I can't hire an administrator, so I have to do all myself. SO the first thing in managing is to install a control panel?
Webmin paired with Virtualmin isn't a bad choice. As stated, if you want to host sites, its best to have a control panel that will help you set things up.
you got full root access, so can install anything.installing a control panel is not necessary step as everything can be controlled via SSH. it just makes life of new users easier as they freak out by seeing CLI prompt. lol for free control panel try webmin.but If you are in professional hosting business then you should go with cpanel. trust me you won't regret it. if you need any help in installing cpanel, then I can help. I got some free time.
