Recommendation For Webmin?
Jul 10, 2008
I'm planning to operate my own dedicated server and bad news is I'm not much of a technical person. A friend recommends that I can use free Webmin as a front end (control panel) rather than paying for others. Do you think Webmin is suitable for newbie on this front?

I have a colocated server with cpanel right now.
The cPanel license on my server just expired and I don't feel like paying for another month as there's 3-4 sites on that box that are still active.
I pay $80 a month for the colo with cpanel
So my questions are
1) What do you recommend (reseller vs vps) and who do I go with
2) How do I get my 4 sites off to the new cpanel with an expired license?
If anyone can help that'd be great. Looking to move within 48 hours

I've been reading a lot on this forum lately for a good VPS solution for me, but I've not been too lucky. Perhaps I am just too lazy to read all the posts.
At any rate, I've been with Alpha Red for about a year now and I feel I need to get something new (been having some problems with my mail server and speed, and since it isn't managed, I don't want to worry about fixing it myself). Thus, I am looking for a good VPS solution.
My needs aren't critical, most personal/business type sites, with some client hosting (clients can get very demanding traffic, however, as they will commonly get featured on Digg or YouTube). Because of the clients, I feel I need something clustered with redundancy. I tried out Mosso and just couldn't stomache the simplicity and lack of control.
Disk space would be around 10GB or higher, bandwidth around 500GB or higher (1TB would look amazing to me), and managed is really a plus. However, my budget is only around $150/mo (currently paying $139 for a very slow dedicated server).
I've been tempted to try MediaTemple, but recently looked at Zone.net's clustered VPS, and KnownHost.

opinion about what E-mail would be the best as a autoresponder and email campaign program. Something that can be configured to forward emails to different addresses from different recipients, automatic responces and scheduled email campaigns, all that kind of things. I would prefer an open source solution but if not any I would pay for that.
how to extract the text from an incoming email (through a script maybe) and input to another ougoing email?

I plan to host 20-40 domains that will include ~20 blogs total and roughly 20 SQL DB's. I anticipate 5-10 GB traffic / month.
With these requirements, can I realistically make use of a shared hosting plan (like HostGator's)? They claim unlimited domains, though I'm not sure how far I can really take this.
Update: shame on me: GB's, not TB's

I am planning to get 2 uplinks for a cluster of servers. So, there will be 2 different
IP subnets and 2 different uplinks. I want the switch:
1. To be able to switch providers when any one of them is down
2. To be able to load balance the traffic (optional)
Also, I prefer to use Cisco.

with webmin can I use it to add FTP users to say pure ftpd? and does it work with lighttpd? If I'm thinking about it right webmin just allows us to control the service and modify the configuration files right?

I started using some dedicated server and I have Webmin as control panel. There is also Apache that I turned on and it worked.
But since I didn't find anything to access server via ftp, I searched on net and understood that I need to install some module for it on Webmin.
In list of inactive modules I found Proftpd and install it. And then I made problem: somewhere in Webmin where is administration of users I edited user "ftp" since when logging I went to directory /var/ftp and I wanted to go to /var/www/html.
But when I changed accessing directory from /var/ftp to /var/www/html it didn't work so I again moved to /var/ftp. After that I again couldn't access but noticed in file manager under Webmin that content of /var/www was moved to /var/ftp and previous content of /var/ftp disappeared. I created new directory www in /var and copied in file manager content from /var/ftp but again when access from public address I receive error 403 forbidden. I rebooted system but again same.

I recently purchased a VPS and was wondering which control panel I should ask my provider to install. Both are free, but I was wondering which one you guys preferred?
Also, which one uses less system resources (like RAM, etc)?

my VPS with Steadcom has been running for about six months now and for the most part I'm very pleased.
I'm not all that skilled at running it yet, still learning.
First, My email was being blocked by some recipients, I am using sendmail. So I had to change the hostname and the hosts file, and the network file to my domain name, instead of the hostname Steadcom gave me. This fixed the email and it seems receipients are okay with the new settings.
However, whenever I restart the VPS, these files and the hostname get reset. How can I make it so these are not changed... is this something I have to bring up with Steadcom or is it a setting I'm not getting quite right?
Second... my webmin seems to have problems. I can log in, but then sometimes I cannot navigate to the areas I need to, as I'll get a page not found error. I have been stopping and restarting webmin, and that sometimes helps, but sometimes not and I have to restart the whole server. Which I really don't want to do just for webmin. I don't really know webmin that well, either, so would love some help on what I can do about this.
Third.. when I have SSH running I often get Brute Force warnings for a bot or someone trying to log in. So I just stop the service all together. But when I restart, it starts up again. How can I keep SSH from starting unless I need it?

every now and again Webmin seems to become inaccessible eg. when I go to [url]it just sits there and eventually times out with a "The connection has timed out" error.
But if I use lynx from the server to access [url]it works fine, does any one have any ideas what could be causing this, if I restart the server it then starts working fine again.

Something less then US$ 150 for the start and an option to move to a full blown (4 Cores, 4GB) dedicated server later would be optimal.
Requirements:
1000 GB Transfer
10 GB Disk
1024 GB Memory
Plesk Panel
There will also be download links to copyright protected material but this are only links, there is no copyright infringement on the server itself which is absolutely legal at least in Europe.

I have been hosting with automatedvps.com for a few months now.
I heartly recomend them.
They host windows 2003/2008 and centOS.
I use windows 2008 which is faster then windows 2003.
They have the best deal I found at the time and since.
Support is friendly, avilable by email and phone. I'm very pleased with it, for instance upon my request they reinstalled the OS at no extra charge.
CPU, memory and internet all work fast.

I wanted to recommend and give a review of my service with Steadfast. Before I went with steadfast I read WHT almost everyday, looking at different hosts. Steadfast has exceeded my expectations by far.
I have a basic shared account but the speed and service make me feel like it is a dedicated account. My site is still in construction so I wont give the address but I have never experience any lag in loading or it ever being offline.
Whenever I submit a ticket, simply because I have a question, I have never waited more than a few minutes. It is genius. I think that Steadfast's business plan is to have the best equipment and software with the best service and reliability so that their customers stay and say good things about them. Sounds like a plan to me.
One of the things that I like the most is that Karl, owner and operator, actually knows what he is talking about is always happy to help.
I had never paid for hosting before or had a domain name and thought that the control panel and learning curve of hosting was gonna be hard but it is well organized and everything runs so perfectly that I almost never need to log into the control panel.
A+++
(I would put the link to steadfast but the board says I don't have enough posts to link websites. Never heard of such a thing.)

my company is looking for a colo provider in the Bay Area. We have done some research and the final choice comes down to these 2 companies: internap and ethr.net.
Price wise, Internap is slightly more expensive on the bandwidth, setup cost and cabinet rental.
Could anyone provide some recommendation based on personal experience? Our service is live video streaming, therefore we are looking for good network with low latency and with a bandwidth of 100mbps.
