HOW-TO: Vds
This is a quick way of setting up a VDS. We will use the Kernel: 2.4.22-8um in this. You can use any you want.
First of all, make a UML directory on the server with the following command in SSH
mkdir /uml/
cd /uml
Once the Kernel (roughly 2.5MB) is downloaded, execute the following CHMOD:
chmod +x /uml/linux
So, next we will download the uml tools, and install them. To download them, in shell, type the following command:
Now, we need to install these utilities with the following command:
rpm -i ./uml_utilities-20030903-1.i386.rpm
For this tutorial, we will just grab a copy of the Redhat OS from the UML site, so you need to type the following into shell:
Once this is downloaded, simply type the following to un bzip it:
unbzip2 ./root_fs.rh-7.2-full.pristine.20020312.bz2
adduser vds1
passwd vds1 myfirstvds
Now, we will make the UML run under that users login, so we type the following in order:
cp ./root_fs.rh-7.2-full.pristine.20020312 /home/vds1/root_fs
cp ./linux /home/vds1/linux
chown vds1 /home/vds1/linux
chown vds1 /home/vds1/root_fs
/home/vds1/linux ubd0=root_fs root=/dev/ubd0 mem=128m
This should boot the VDS up to a running state.
I will add more in the morning on VDS Networking (as it is 3:20am here, hehe)
Enjoy!

Don't forget too that there is quite a bit of information at http://user-mode-linux.sf.net including information on compiling the UML kernels yourself. So if you're used to compiling kernels and have some time on your hands you might want to look there.
I personally have quite a bit of experience with UML, so if anyone wants any help with any aspect of it, contact me and I will do my best to help

User Mode Linux (UML) is just one way of doing VDS/VPS.

To ensure that my guides are accurate, i had a test server which I lost the funds to trial everything on. So, until I can make up the funds, I cannot post the Networking Section sorry.

I saw someone post wonder what is the root password. Here is how to set/get it:
1) Shut down the VDS if you have it running
2) Mount the device as a loop (ex: mount root_fs /mnt -o loop)
3) chroot /mnt
4) This is now like you're logged into root. Just type passwd root and set a root password
5) Type exit
6) Run the VDS and Login
Hope this helps.

What about control panels?
If you seperate the server into virtual server partitions, can you get the CP, such as CPanel/WHM to copy over as well?

You will need to install the cp individually, or you can intergrate it into the OS image
