I bought a Media Temple VE server with a ubantu Natty OS and originally set it up with Node.js and MongoDB. I haven't really done anything with it for a while and it's just sitting there. I have a few friends that need a web site hosted, and I was thinking maybe I could spin off this server I have and set it up to handled shared hosting and I can use it as a reseller server.

Not quite sure where to begin or if that's even possible, but if it is can someone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Yes, it's possible. It's a horrible idea, though, with your current familiarity with the software and systems involved. – EEAA Mar 1 '12 at 23:11

Just a suggestion - an easier place to start might be a dedicated virtual (dv) server from Mediatemple, seeing as they have a lot of tools for reseller hosting built right in.

The (ve) server is designed mainly for experienced Linux users who can start from a blank-ish slate.
