Hello,

I just started exploring the VPS,and I m in a need of some technical guide, who are already using VPS.

My queries are -

What kind of softwares, application and tools I do require to control the VPS { I.e something like Cpanel for shared hosting}

Which one you favor is it VPS linux or windows ?

Please guide me in above things

thanx

We highly recommend going for a control panel for the VPS.

You can host the Web site on Linux if not utilizing ASP.NET, Coldfusion, MSSQL or any other Microsoft based application.

Linux generally does everything that many users want it to, but some people have tasks that require Windows applications.

Hello Garrett,

Having a look at your requirements, you will definitely be comfortable with Linux VPS Hosting package with cPanel as a control panel installed on it.

The best part is that you will have more priviledges over your VPS when compared to a shared hosting package.

As shane suggested Linux based VPS with cpanel will be best suited for your requirements and it will be cheaper when to compared to windows based VPS
