Hi I just get a unmanaged dedicated server with direct admin panel and i need some help to set it up from the begining. Can anyone provide me tha basic steps for my forum? I will need to setup my domain and nameservers ? Thanks
why dont you get a manage service and ask them what they have done ? You wil learn during the process. Really, getting an unmanaged server and you dont know the basics might be a steep learning curve for you.
If your server is linux based, I'd be pleased to help you on server management. Joe - http://admon.org
