Hi, -- just looking for someone to setup LAMP on a vps account, doesn't need any bells or whistles, just a temporary sandbox, i would like to have phpmyadmin (or similar), i have no need for any control panels or anything of the sort... just need to be able to ftp files into it, and do some basic db stuff. --- could someone point me in the right direction? if you do / or know someone that does this sort of stuff shoot me a pm.
that sounds very easy job hence to find the best and affordable server admin take a cold shower then look into the mirror that's HIM, your server admin because your specs are default and good hosts have a selection of Linux dists to match what you have at home for example in a default openSuSE you select LAMP and it will install exactly all you need. if you have time to learn, it would be an ideal occasion to prepare for later when you would be more than happy to know how to do things instantly else you may also look for a managed server account
I'd be happy to help you with this for a low rate, it's the kind of work I do every day. PM me if you still haven't found anyone.
