It seems RS's ensim doesn't come with PHP?, nor Perl, nor Frontpage extension???

I reckon ensim comes with all those u just stated, as well as plesk... plesk offer better reseller support thought.

I use Ensim, it seems very good. It also does come with all the features stated above

Ok, I see those services under "Sevices" in Ensim CP, I suppose I just need to activate it by introducining a new virtual site.

Here is another questions: At the signup of getting a new RS dedicated server, they asked for a domain name. So I provided a domain name and have set the nameservers to rs1.rackshack.net, rs2.rackshack.net. It's propagated but everytime I visit my site by typing the domain it's redirected to the ensim CP login page (?).

If I have only 1 ip provided to my dedicated server, does that mean I can't create anymore IP-based sites since the domain name above during sign up is IP-based? I'm a bit confused. I also don't know what nameservers I should use to set my future virtual name-based sites (rs1.rackshack.net, rs2.rackshack.net?). Under ensim CP "Network settings" I also see two IPs for nameservers, those are not the same as rs1.rackshack.net, rs2.rackshack.net, should I use them for my other virtual sites?

Thanks! This is a long message.

I don't use ensim, but I will make a guess: the CP page you saw is just the default page. I think if you set up additional virtual host, they will load properly.

your questions are already answered in the rackshack forums, look under Ensim DNS
