    Question How to start with unmanaged VPS?

    Hello,

    Of course Unmanaged is much cheaper than full managed and I decided to try with unmanaged plan.

    Can you guys tell me what should I do to run my vps? what do I have to install or somekinds of that?

    Thanks in advance.

    What control panel does the VPS have? Are you planning to use the VPS, for eg. like, a dedicated mail server only?

    If you dont have much sites you can go for webmin control panel. Its free and easy to manage.

    Thanks Matt.

    For unmanaged plan, do I have to install webmin, mysql,... by myself?

    If it's unmanaged, pretty much you need to do all by yourself...

    what's like your budget on this?

    Thanks

    DirectAdmin is a webhosting control panel, Webmin is more of a System panel.

    You could run both at the same time but they would overlap in some areas. If you will be running only 1-2 websites you could use Webmin only. Webmin is a bit more difficult to use than DirectAdmin though so depending on your skill level, DirectAdmin may be the better choice. It also depends on what else you want besides hosting your site like Mail/DNS. Setting up Mail and DNS in Webmin is more difficult than in DirectAdmin where you would just click a few buttons.

    I hope I didn't confuse you even more...yes you have to do it all yourself but ask your provider for assistance when you're stuck.

    Hi,

    My budget is around $18.00 with 512 MB RAM. a2b2 is offering this. It is pretty nice price. I wanted to order, but Rus did not answer my questions, even his saw that post. I am looking for others provide.

    @imountain: maybe I will use directadmin.

    You realize their offer is for $36.00 not $18.00, the 18 is in british pounds.

    Not sure if you knew that.

    DirectAdmin is a great choice and is what we recommend, it is very stable and well performing for less resource usage than any other enterprise panel.

    good luck..

    He is probably talking about the offer here at WHT, the one with double RAM. So that would be the $18 plan.
