New user, questions

I'm trying to setup a typical lowend VPS (1 core, 128ram, 256swap)in a local VM before embarking on anything, but have a few small issues/ questions from that :)
I have local Linux admin experience, but not server.
1. I've created a local alias in my router to cdn.leezer3.com via DNSMasq, but lighttpd only seems to be serving the base server, not the domain. The DNSMasq entry looks like this:
address="/cdn.leezer3.com/192.168.1.149"
Is this my lighttpd config, or is that a DNSMasq issue?
2. Has anyone got a guide to setting up FTP access for subdomains please?
3. One of the 'better' hosts seems to have OS rerolls as a support ticket option, not via SolusVM or something. While I'm not anticipating breaking things that badly, I'd assume that its a decent idea to have for someone with little server experience?
4. I did try installing Virtualmin, but that promptly ate all the memory/ swap by trying to load all the spamfilters and stuff at once. Bad idea?

Finally-
I'm UK based, hence have been looking at UK providers in terms of exchange rate fluctuations. Any thoughts on whether it's worth looking further afield?
Ping isn't a concern, I just need somewhere to stick some downloads which are eating bandwidth on a shared plan. I'm considering implementing a few small custom bits also, but nothing major.

Cheers :)
