VPS problem :(
I got my VPS today. Installed CentOS 5. And it says the only virtual serever I have is site1.com
So I installed virtualmin and gave site1.com as hostname. Now I tried to creat a new virtual server via virtualmin for site1.com but it won't let me. This is because you cannot use the hostname as a virtual server. So how am I expected to upload files onto site1 and use it as a site? Or when I installed should the IP have been the host name?
Another problem I have is creating private nameservers. I have an IP for my VPS so do I just go to my domain registrate and register private server for ns1 and ns2 using that ip?

It sounds like you have no business trying to manage your own VPS, I'd suggest dropping whatever $5~10/mo VPS you signed up for and either going with a shared plan or signing up with a plan that will actually fit your needs (fully managed) in the $35+ range.

Well its good that you are trying to learn the things , no issues with that , however as MikeDVB said google is your best friends as well as reading the documentation of a particular virtual technology will make you familiar.
It will take some time to grab the things though but you will be able to manage the things.|| 24x7CloudServerManagement | Server Management & Technical Support ||

Read: Give up on learning and pay someone else to do it for you as you've already failed and shouldn't try again.
Nice one Mike. Really nice. (Oh - is it a coincidence you offer the services you say he 'needs'? I see what you're doing there )
@Milesb: I encourage you to continue learning, disregard what some of these 'professionals' say and go on to further develop your skills. All of us knew nothing at one point.
The report button is your friend as well. Beyond that, this is not the place to tell a user they posted in the wrong section - sorry.Last edited by cedricd; 08-23-2011 at 12:59 AM. Reason: Addressed last line to OP; formatting changes

This guide is a little old but should contain enough relevant info to get you up and running: http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/tutorial
