I basically I have no knowledge of setting up a website on a VPS so yeah. I basically want to host multiple websites so onto questions. Should I check IPv6? Should I enable Private Networking or anything else in the initial setup? Should I add SSH keys? Which Linux distribution should I use? What steps should I take after this?
Does anyone have a link to an article? I really don’t want to start with basics and get right into it.

Also, I would look into installing some sort of control panel this way things would be a little easier for you.
