Hi Abhishek, cPanel will be a better option than webmin. and you can try APF (http://www.rfxnetworks.com/apf.php) for your firewall issue. but RH 9.0 is not a good option for security. APF is based on iptables and it is easily configurable. but firewall is not the ultimate solution for security, you have to fine tune and optimize apache & its modules, bind & mail server.
as much as i know you opted for VDS but it wont be a good solution in future you'll experiance routing issues means downtime means bad impression to the customers. anyway it is totally upto you. regards sibayan On Tue, 30 Nov 2004 19:35:34 +0530, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Friends, > I have recently taken up a dedicated server for webhosting (redhat 9.0 with > webmin as the control panel).
