Cheapest to start with

[Cherry]

If I were to go on and sign up just basically to get a feel for everything, what would be the absolute cheapest route I could/should go with a VPS Starter package?

Hello,

I would definitely suggest Linux VPS Hosting package with cPanel installed on it.

Regards,

If you need complete control over your hosting account then you can start with VPS Starter package/cPanel. VPS acts exactly like a Dedicated server, so will also get feel for everything

So the only add-on you guys recommend right away is the cPanel? Are there any other things I might need right off since I'm so new to all this I just know I'll jump in and be like ummmm... Forgot something important, but I know I'll have tons of help!

As you are a newbie, you shouldn't need any other applications or components on the server (as per my knowledge ). cPanel control panel includes many features which will allow you to manage your server very well.

Also, as you are considering a Linux VPS hosting package, you will have full root SSH access to it and you will be able to install the applications you wish to have. Hence, you can install the applications if you require them later on

If I were you I would start out with the very most basic package available because there are many things that you don't know yet. Take your time, and when doubt simply ask!
