Hey, have you tried contact your VPS provider? Most of the good ones will help you start out.
LXAdmin is pretty simple to use but it takes a little bit to get going with. you need to add your domain to LXadmin and the nameservers you plan on using.

Can you comment on who your provider is? How many domains do you need to move in?

[nikg]

lxadmin seems a bit different if you are used to CPanel but is easy to configure. Have a look in the documentation herehttp://doc.lxlabs.com/lxadmin/admin/index.html
You can get the basic idea, about how to configure your DNS, add a domain and use ftp.

If he was only going to move one domain I was going to do it for free.

If you are ready to share the access to it you will be able to find someone for free. But I do not think that is good idea. Because soon you might realize you have some neighboors you do not want to have. Better pay your mother company for this kind of work

Huh?
Obviously the smart thing to do is to change your passwords after you have a stranger work on it...

When you take help from an unknown person that to by asking it in public forums, you should be careful that your VPS is not hacked and some unwanted scripts are not loaded to help spamming. There is also possibility of loosing your codes to third parties. Please also understand that I have no particular comments on any of the responses to your request in this thread. I am just writing this for a general guidance for everybody.

Thanks for replying
I now get little idea about my vps also I have a question that is ssh really useful to use like rebooting vps through vps all other things as i donot know the basic commands for ssh.
Can I have important commands for using ssh.

[bigks]

Zedthrone, I am really not trying to sound rude but how familiar were you with hosting before you purchased a vps? How you ever used ssh before?

I was first using cpanel hosting for hosting my vbulletin forum but now due large traffic I need it to transfer it to vps.

[bigks]

Zed, is traffic the only issue you needed to resolve by moving to a vps? Or were you eating up too many system resources at your previous shared host?
