I just purchased some VPS hosting and part of the package was the installation of CPanel. This is good because I have used CPanel before as a user with various hosting providers. However, what I didn't realize is that the CPanel setup I was given is for resellers.
I am using this VPS as my own PHP/MySQL development platform and the only user would be me. I was hoping to get a CPanel "user" interface that would allow me to create/manage and files and setup a FTP account. I do have an SSH account but I am new to Linux and unsure how to even SSH to the box (don't flame me please). I was hoping to learn these things as I go while using CPanel to help me manage files for Apache.
So I have a few options. I could opt to have two other control panels installed instead of CPanel.
- DirectAdmin
- Plesk
But these may be setup in the same reseller mode as CPanel.
Or I guess I could just setup one account under CPanel and use that the manage the things I need on the server. Any thoughts on the best way to go? If anyone has any links on how to setup CPanel in the way I was describing it would be appreciated. Thanks!
