Great work! Do I need an Ubuntu machine in order to set up an Ubuntu vps server? or can be done with any Linux machine with any Linux flavor? thanks

What happened to PhaseNetwork bro? I would like to help you to get that network up again

Thank you very much

you better had used sentora instead off zpanel.

is this free

Zpanel is not supported anymore.

Good tutorial. Does anyone recommend doing a VPS for speed? I know he said the specs for the VPS' but I'm not sure how much it can handle. Compared to say bluehost or hostgator hosting?

It says cloud server
Is cloud and vps the same?

I'm such a noob.

Can you host multiple websites from the same server?

Can you do this on Windows?

i bought a vps server and it came with isp manager do i need to install zpanel still ??

hi, great tutorial.. but i had some errors.. i cant connect using ftp to my zpanel.. i dont know y.
i followed your steps, but when i tried to connect using filezilla error occurred ..
please help me.. thank you so much….

in zpanel i have to install php and myphpadmin manually or it install itself?

Do you have FB or twitter?

going with gowankers : P , going to write my own database language and system :).

Is ubuntu optimal for web stuff? I thought CentOS was a better choice?

out dated the links do not work.

thanks ..

HI ben can I purely use Digital ocean for website hosting? I signed up the LCN yesterday they web hosting site but I dont understand how to get VPS and web hosting to work together or are they seperate?

Real good tutorial on setting up and hosting a virtual server. I haven't used Zpanel only Cpanel and Webmin. I used to have my own dns mail and Web server running at home years ago using Centos with webmin on. But used cpanel ever since on shared hosting but considering going down the Virtual route and didn't fancy paying extra for cpanel licence.
Cheers for the video.

Hi,Thanks for your video.
I got a problem while installing Zpanel.I'm using ubuntu 12.04 version.When I visited zpanel page,I found that they released a new version and only one line of code would install zpanel on the server.
I copied and pasted that line after login,but nothing happened.
I got this at the end(after login,and before using that line provided by zpanel)

New release '14.04.2 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
* System restart required *

along with some other lines which gave me some detail about my server.
How can I get rid of this?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you Ben for making such a thorough and detail tutorial. It is a very refreshing to know that there is alternative to cPanel in OpenSource Community.
Thanks again for making this and sharing your knowledge.

Just one Q? = Do you have any insights on WHMCS (Installation&Configuration) like to integrate it with zPanel?
And have you tested DreamHost's Dreamcompute and DreamObjects with Services like WHMCS and zPanel?

It will be so good to see a video tutorial setting up Ramnode into a Web host for static websites on their 128 ram ones without a cPanel. Using Debían mini and other lightweight apps to make it.

Hi . Thank you for this video .

But this URL http://bit.ly/1c1Eq3R doesn't work . Can you help me please ?

The zpanel installation method you show doesn't work now and the zpanel page is missing.

Excellent tutorial, thanks


The prices on these Vps's are insane. Are these current?

I have a real dedicated for far less. Plesk ftw. I do not understand why VPS is still an option these days when there's dedicated for far less and dedicated memory, cores, and speed is by FAR superior in every way imo.

I'm having an issue, I have my domain name pointed at the vps server's ip and the domain set up on the zpanel but when I try to go through the domain name it just takes me to the z control panel instead of the site.

On ovh.com its $3

It worked but i had to do a few things different as the old way didnt work. 

Is what you've demonstrated here enough for a production website, or is there more to be done? I've read about having to secure all that's installed, from the OS to Apache, PHP, MySQL etc. How is that done? Do you have an idea or plan on making a video on that?

everything is fine…..i setup zpanel successfully….but i can't login…where can i login in my cpanel….i got zpanel pass and id…but i dont know where i can addon domain….in ovh? where i can host files…?…i purched VPS 2014 Classic 1. please help me…..thank you….your videos is gerat…! please make more videos like this….this is helpfull…

i don this all things, but some whois sites are correctly showing my ip address and going to that ip its direct to zpanelcp admin login page, how can i hide. getting more security? 

you dont explain how to make the dns/domain at all…

+BensTechTips Hey, when I go to http://www.mydomain.net it works but when I go to mydomain.net it redirects to mydomain.net/defaultsite

My domain name is with 1and1.com
Do you know why this is happening, and how do I fix it?

How did you setup your DNS servers?

Thank you man this was very useful – just needed a few basics explained for me.
