Ok, I'll be blunt, I got myself a little dedicated server, I've already installed three VPS, got mine up and running, hell I had DirectAdmin up and running in less than 10 mins.

So I'm installing Cpanel... 6 fucking hours later I still can't get past the damn script updates, cuz it seems like rsync.cpanel.net and rdate.cpanel.net are down, and I've turned off every process including iptables just to make sure it was all good. And any time It did manage to start to download or install something it would stop and hang for like an hour without doing anything with cpu load at 0.00. And while there is no CP->DA conversion script that works, I could have ported at least 4 accounts to DA in the time that I been trying to get this damned CP Install working.

So yea, you heard me, Fuck CPanel. Bloated Piece of Shit anyways.
 


And now you know why I hate cPanel so much. The bloat, the server takeover, and the amount of shit required just to install it = crap.

The only reason that piece of shit continues to sell is because of all the people who demand it because they've never used anything else before and change is just too hard. cPanel has been outdated for years now and the only way I would support it again is if I had a gun to my head.
 
cloudsites FTW unless you need something complicated like WPMU and then cloudservers work just dandy. Rackspace ownzjoo
 
kblessinggr why are you putting cPanel on your server anyway? Is it for a client?
 
Cpanel is crap. I can't believe this crap sells well. There is nothing in it that's particularly convenient. In fact every console is crap. Its so much easier managing with the command line. There really arent that many commands to figure out and it gives so much of a clearer picture as to wats going on

service lighttpd start
service csf start
service named start
service dovecot start
chkconfig lighttpd on
chkconfig csf on
chkconfig named on
chkconfig dovecot on
chkconfig httpd off
postfix start
change my.cnf to appropriate settings

useful commands:
tail /var/log/messages
man iptables
ls -lah
ps aux
ps -eo pid,user,group,cmd,size | awk '/lighttpd/{print $1}' | xargs kill
netstat -an -t | grep 25
lsof -i :25
GRANT select,insert,delete,update ON tracking.* TO mytrack@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'funnymonkeys';
chmod 750 everything

lol

but srsly learning lamp configuration management takes a little while if you're starting from scratch because the directory and naming conventions are obscure/not obvious

Well course it'd hurt your head if someone just threw bunch of shit at you.

Zenssh.com write is a bit more explanatory as well as showing you how to take some services off server, such as using registrar or external DNS server (ie: with control panel) to handle DNS for you, as well as how to use google apps (or similar) to handle email for you. Then course he'll be writing up on Lighttpd, while I write up on Nginx webserver. On Zensix.com there is both a preconfigured CentOS + Lighttpd OS, as well as the Debian + Nginx OS I created, so that users just have to load up either OS and already have a setup command line server running web, database, php, and just have to follow an easy guide to update the config file to add new sites.

I personally been running all my personal stuff on a Debian + Nginx 0.8.x setup for several months now, rarely ever hitting over 200MB of ram usage.
 
I'm lovin the zenssh site. Got myself a virpus vps yesterday morning and I'm setting it up using zenssh for guidelines.
 
Well least Cpanel is making some progress now that the servers are reachable again.

I used to think cPanel / WHM was the best because it's so wide spread but it's really just not that good. I switched over to kloxo / hypervm about a month ago and my website traffic has just been going up ever since. Probably a combination of factors at work but it certainly gave my server more capacity and way faster load times.

Dude, they suck. Cancel within your grace period - trust me. If you are looking for low priced/self-managed hosting, go over to lowendbox and check some prices and read some reviews over there.
