The first things to do after installing cPanel on VPS
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?

http://configserver.com/cp/csf.html should be your #1.
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 havent bought a license yet. Just wanted to take advantage of 15 days trial
Who did you buy your license from?
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.
