Project Description
I have a brand-new Linux VPS that needs to be transformed into a fully operational hosting environment running cPanel. The server is still at its default image, so you’ll be working with root access from the very beginning.
What I need from you:
• Install and activate the latest stable cPanel build on the VPS
• Carry out the initial server hardening (CSF or similar, SSH tweaks, firewall rules, basic malware scanners)
• Set the correct hostname, rDNS and custom nameservers so the machine is ready to serve live domains
• Tune Apache/Nginx, PHP and MySQL/MariaDB for optimal performance on this instance
• Enable automatic updates, daily off-site backups and Let’s Encrypt or AutoSSL for domains that will be added later
• Provide a concise hand-over document outlining all changes, credentials, and how I can add new sites through WHM
(1) To configure VPS and set up a Cpanel in a VPS package so a maximum of 5 different email accounts can be created.
(2) The Purpose is to manually send email messages via the email addresses created at the cpanel section.
(3) Ability to work with the attached VPS detail/information including the Almalinux 9 as operating system etc.
(4) Ability to make effective settings and configurations to ensure that the email is delivered out successfully.
(5) I can provide any supporting domain(s) to enhance successful email transmission/delivery.
(6) Once an active Cpanel is achieved/installed, I can create the email addresses etc, that's not a problem for me.
Finally: Check attached VPS features/information
