Yes this tutorial will install the necessary packages for you to run a website(s) without the use of a control panel such as cPanel or DirectAdmin.

Would you mind telling us how to taking full/sql site backup using ssh ? and also how to restore them again ?

it would be great learning i hope

to make backup in ssh type this and enter:

mysqldump DATABASE_NAME > BACKUP_FILE_NAME.sql

change " DATABASE_NAME" with database name u wants to backup and "BACKUP_FILE_NAME" whatever u like.

it will save a file named "BACKUP_FILE_NAME.sql" in ur current directory.

to restore backup ( make sure u are in same directory where DATABSE_BACKUP_FILE_NAME.sql exists or give full path) :

mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABSE_NAME < DATABSE_BACKUP_FILE_NAME.sql;

example:
mysql -uroot -p123456 mydatabase < BACKUP_FILE_NAME.sql;
