How to setup a vps without a control panel for dummies

[Mutikasa]

cpanel is waste of money for me.
I use lighttpd and debian.
I also setup DNS server, mail server... and don't know what else, but basically everything from command line, which is the best way to go and u have more memory

Good but this is for dummies, not someone who can install everything from a command line.

No offense, but when you can't use basic commandline tools, you shouldn't have a vps. Instead you should go for shared webhosting or at least get a managed vps.

what are you talking about? vps's are just toys lol. Anyone should be able to have a vps to mess around with and LEARN. There are somethings you can't rely on others for all the time.

That being said, shared hosting or managed vps are nice, even if you do have the ability to manage your own.

Great tutorial for ones that want to setup their first site on a vps.

Yes and he should do that on a VM not connected to the internet with a 100mbit connection. A VPS needs to be secured, to not become part of a botnet or send spam. What do you think where all the spam in your Inbox or your blog comes from?

[Mutikasa]

if you're using namecheap's servers as DNS then in change A records in their control panel.
