Currently, my companies' website is hosted on a web hosting company which they provide everything (WHM, cPanel, E-mail server, LAMP, security and etc...)

We have to move the website to a private company. And we (for the first time) have to set up the server from scratch. Now, we already know what server specs must be and they are going to provide it.

It is obvious that we need to install LAMP, but what else is required to get the server ready for hosting a website? (i.e. for security or for E-mail server)

We prefer to run it by using open source software, so using a cPanel is not really important. We are open for suggestions

  • I would suggest to use ispconfig, they provide the tutorials on how to setup the server in a proper way and install their control panel

  • Does this answer your question? How to get a server ready?

  • How do you define "ready"? Building a complete enterprise ready stack from free open source software can be very tedious and is sure way to complex for a simple Q&A. What exactly are you expecting as answer? Maybe the names of possible open source software to use?

  • @chrisl let me give you an example: I can install LAMP, but LAMP doesn't cover everything like E-mail server, right? So do I have to start with E-mail server and then go for LAMP? Is there anything else besides these two that I have to do in order to be able to host my own website?
