I am not sure exactly what you are doing, but I am going to be posting some videos next week (hopefully) showing how to install centos 6 on a machine as a virtual host. The second video in that series will show all the steps of installing a centos 6 guest on that very host. the guest will have all the needs of a webserver, php, apache, postifx, dovecot, etc and cover each step from network to firewall. You should be able to do a guest install, fully operational, by hand, in less than an hour. secure, safe, (at least as much as it can be).

A good start would be to download and install ConfigServer Security and Firewall. http://configserver.com/cp/csf.html That will help you on the security side. But if you're completely new to the game, you should consider hosting your sites on a shared host somewhere and use the VPS as a learning tool -- unless the sites are not production and you don't care what happens to them occasionally.

I think he was asking more about a guest install rather than a host. I'd echo the comment Les made and recommend to the OP to 'try both.' Virtual installs and physical installs are a tad different, but virtual has some distinct advantages, especially in terms of quick cloning, snapshotting with rollback capabilities for testing, etc. But virtualization brings with it another layer; and I would go as far as saying that, once you've gotten some experience, and if you have 64-bit hardware at your disposal, that you might want to attempt duplicating your hosted VPS environment completely, on you own 'host' as then you can test with the exact configuration you're using in production. That would mean the same VPS packages, the same 'guest' install options, and the same host OS packages. But before throwing so many new layers in the mix try I'd recommend to the OP to get familiar with it one layer at a time; too many layers at once can be very confusing if you don't know enough to separate the effects of each layer. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It is quick and easy to test a lot of different variations of things and emulate network connections under vmware, and relatively cheap to hold a bunch of images on a big disk or two.

Actually I used to be on a shared hosting and run out of resources many times. I am expecting about 20 k or may be more per day with 400-600 on the same time visitors. This is why I want to go for a VPS. I did start to learn and keep screwing the whole vps several times.

For about 10 years, I ran an old rh (NOT RHEL) system as a firewall/router for my home network. I ran Bastille Linux over it - which is *not* a distro, but a set of hardening scripts. Great stuff, and NIST recommendations these days refer to it, last time I looked. After running Bastille, *then* I got paranoid: I never installed X (security holes), or *any* compiler, or language I didn't absolutely need (no gcc, yes to perl). No nuttin'... and to the best of my knowledge, though I did see scans, I never had an intrusion, partly due to firewall rules of DROP, and partly because they had nothing to use to run their nasties. If it got installed, and you don't need it, don't only turn it off, yum remove.

If all you want to do is to host a single website then a VPS is an overkill. Just a find a hosting service for a "webhotel": this way your ISP deals with the security of the server and you don't need to worry about any operation system level admin stuff.
