Hi Mepps,

Let me answer as best I can, I am sure others will add more info as well.

I hesitate between $20/mo or $40/mo. I really need 4GB ? Its probably better to get 2 same configuration.

It sounds like your just getting started! Good Luck! I’m just getting started answering questions.
You can upgrade at any time, it takes a few minuites that’s all. If your just getting started I would Virtualize one machine into two, if that sounds to complicated just get two until you figure it out (you can delete machines at anytime as well).

I ll install web server and other stuff by myself : Nginx or Apache+Nginx ?

Here’s a good tutorial on installing LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP)
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu

I should install Cpanel like in free of course : Foxlor or ISPConfig ?

Yes, any of those will work. You should also check out Webmin http://webmin.com/ .
Try them all, and choose the one your most comfortable with.

Good luck!

Hey Sky777

Thanks you for your great reply.

Hmm I don’t understand your story about Virtualize ?

About Nginx or Apache/Nginx, My question was what is the more reliable, fast and powerful ?
I know nginx alone, apache alone and Apache/Nginx (nginx as reverse proxy) but I want to know what the best? I think I ll install only Nginx.

Yep I checked Webmin, but I drop off from my short list because I don’t like this tool and I want try new one. I m looking people with some advice/tips on those products.

Cheers :)

@mepps27 I fully recommend you Nginx without apache, is faster, powerful, and a complete solution by its own.

Go to serverpilot.io and create a free account, it helps you to install LEMP completely optimized (out of the box) and provides your with an easy to use control panel for your site/s.

About the size, start with the small one, and try it, if you feel like you need more power/speed with current users then upgrade.

Also signup to cloudflare.com and protect/cache your website.
Also try to create a free account at mandrillapp.com to manage your email traffic from your droplet.

Thanks for your advices :)

It’s a pitty ServerPilot doesn’t manage LEMP stack. But I didn’t know and seem’s to be a goood service :)

So I ll order the 20$ plan, install Lemp, Nginx, Fail2Ban… =)
And probably install Foxlor :)

And also try cloudfare :)

Cheers

Regarding the control panel setup, do give zPanel / Sentora a try.. Those who is moving from cPanel based setup may find the panel easy to migrate to !!
