| Posted by merconline, 08-24-2002, 04:57 PM | | Hi,
Currently i'm using Reseller plans, CPanel based.
Thinking of trying a Dedicated Server
Looking at some Websites, ppl are offering Server and some Control Panel (maybe at extra cost)
What i want to know is what things are needed to make a Dedi. Server to Offerings for Reseller Accounts/ Individual Accounts.
Software etc. ?? More Cpanel licences?
I think the basic Dedicated Servers as advertised in fastservers etc. need to be top up with few other things.
Any advices?
Thanks

| Posted by merconline, 08-24-2002, 05:24 PM | | doesn't the Control panel have licences etc. ?
Any other email etc. software to install? or configure?
or do the provider does one time setup of all these.
What are the main things i have to concentrate (learning etc.) for day to day operations? or making things anonymous etc.
Thanks for your input.

Mosts hosts normally install everything for you for the first time so that everything is ready to go ASAP.
You reall need to just know how to fix problems, setup accounts, ssh, secuirty updates, patches, upgrades, ips, etc, etc, etc. If you don't know that much I would suggest getting a managed server (the host upgrades secuirty holes, pathches, etc for you). The price is a bit more expensive... but its worth the money.

By chance, if you're on budget then maybe keep some time in hand for the hands-on

I've read in different threads that BurstNET (www.burst.net ) they are offering dedicated servers, along with Cpanel & WHM. Compare to other compnies, their costs are very reasonable.
However I don't have any idea about their support. But seems they're reliable.

Of course, the WHM doesn't do everything and there are instances when you will need to ssh into the server to do things manually. If you are not sure, you can hire somebody to do the odd tasks for a pre-set monthly fee and then you can have peace of mind.
