Need a Panel for Windows VPS... or Help?

    Just ordered a Windows VPS from a DP user. Never done the whole administration thing, so I am diving in head first.

    I am provided with H-Sphere control panel. I've only used Cpanel in the past and I am completely lost! :)

    I had Cube Panel Lite working for a minute, but then it wouldn't let me login saying I was using an incorrect license. Weird, because I used the one they sent me.

    I finally got FTP working (setup the site through IIS), and uploaded my files to the home folder.

    Now, all I need to do is figure out how to point www.mydomain.com to /home/mydomain/index.php

    Can anyone help? Can I do it through DNS records? Can H-Sphere do it? Am I doomed? I can't spend $$$ on CPanel because my sites don't generate that kind of revenue.

    Your assistance for this newb is greatly appreciated. You've got to start somewhere, right?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    First of all, I won't recommend windows for a VPS at all...whether you like it or not.

    You could have got a nice linux VPS with Lxadmin CP thrown for free.

    There are many panels fro windows - Hsphere, Plesk etc.

    Windows is resource hungry, at leats for a VPS. While for Linux, its control panels are resource hungry, for both dedicated and vps.
