The first things to do after installing cPanel on VPS

hayvanhayvan Member

First of all, a newbie here.

I have never set up and managed a VPS before. Recently started a plan on DO and created a CentOS 6.5 x64 droplet. I've read many things about VPS, free/paid panels and decided to go on with cPanel.

Maybe you are laughing to me but I just want to start to learn it somehow. I will manage only one small scale eCommerce (based on OpenCart) site on the VPS. I think it will be better than running the page on a shared hosting. What should I do after installing cPanel? Are there any extensions I have to install or it is like plug and play?

  • lol installed the cPanel but it says the license is expired. It says the a cPanel license has been used on the same IP before. I'm soo lucky yeah.

  • Did you purchase a cPanel license? If not, try BuycPanel.com

  • Enable 2nd level quota support if your on OpenVZ for quotas to work corectly.

    I didn't buy any license yet. I just created a droplet, installed the cPanel and it said the license expired on the IP. But I would like to try 15 days first.

  • Take a long, long piss and sell some shared hosting afterwards. :)

    Contact your host and ask them to give a new ip address and then you reinstall cpanel

    Change SSH port.

  • If you're only hosting a small site, why not go with shared hosting, which also includes cPanel?

    Unless you're prepared to do a lot of reading on security practices you need to deploy on your VPS to keep it secure, etc.. etc.. - it should be best to go with a shared unmanaged host.
