Hi guys.
Ill get a new server for my cPanel.
I have installed cPanel many times, and every time i do the same: CentOS 6 - x64, install cPanel, recompile apache with easy apache, install csf and...
But for this new server I'd like to make enough patience, and choose the best options possible.
Lets start this: (a lot of questions, but i belive this will help a lot of peoples):
A) Operational System:
What is better: CentOS 5 or 6? X86 or X64?... and Why?
Is better to do /home in another partition or its does nothing?
Do partitions with LVM or Without LVM? Why?
Swap... 2X time of Ram? Why?
B) Plugins / Security:
After cPanel install, i always install CSF, then i go to security check and get always a green score. I think thats good, its realy good?
Do you know another good plugins or softwares for cPanel?
C) Optimization:
Disable Unused Services: SpamAssassin, Statistics Software, Mailman. Another one?
Tweaking Settings: Uncheck Conserve Memory at the expense of using more cpu/diskio and default catch-all mail address is set to FAIL. More?
Anyone know a full guide for cpanel install with plugins and optimizations?
Why im asking all of this?
I have a cPanel, with CentOS x64, 1gb of ram (VPS).
With a 50 users online in the vbulletin 4, the server is going down. I need to do some resets on the server for that still working. This VM config should works good with 50 users online on vbulletin?
Thank you!
