Just bought a server at ThePlanet
Ok, I just bought a dedicated server at ThePlanet, and I'm pretty much lost. I'm used to using shared hosting, and when I see all this networking, security SSH, etc stuff, I have no idea what to do. All I want to do is get mysql and php on the server, upload my files and database and then open the site. I don't even know what NS server to set my domains in, or any of this stuff. Any help?

You need a management company to manage it for you probably, if you are that unaware with a server.
Do you have a control panel? cPanel? DirectAdmin? Plesk?
I will help you here (since I can't request you to PM me / IM me, etc) with any general problems you have. * Do not share any of your server login info here *.

What you should do? Hire a sys admin to set everything up, secure the box and also keep it updated. Otherwise I see trouble on the horizon, real soon.

Yes, it had cpanel. I can learn stuff pretty fast, so all I need is a few websites that explain how to manage a dedicated server and im good.

The Planet offers managed hosting, why not check what they offer since your box is there?

They are expensive and I bet you will regret your decision to have anything to do with the planet real soon.
