SolusVM or cPanel/WHM?

[LEVAC109]

I'm going to get a Linux CentOS server and I don't know which one goes on which? All I know is cPanel/WHM is the server manager and webhosting manager but SolusVM seems bigger because it installs OS and such.

So I do I install cPanel/WHM first and then install SolusVM on it or vice versa?

cPanel/WHM to manage / host web sites.

SolusVM its self is to install on a Dedicated server as a Master and or Slave to house virtual containers.

You would/should install Solus first and then could use Solus to install the CentOs and lastly install cPanel

May i ask if your looking to just host web sites or host vps ?

if its web sites only install cpanel/whm

if its vps install solusvm master on a small vps which i personally prefer, then solusvm slave on a dedicated server to sell vps

god bless

Solusvm is a virtualization software ( used to create VPS from your dedi )
Cpanel is hosting platform/ control panel, from where you can install and control different services like httpd, ftpd, etc .( good for guys who don't have linux knowledge or hosting providers )

No comparison b/w them ..

I want to do both.

I want to host websites and I want to run one VPS on it. What to do? I want the main OS (the dedicated server) to run the hosting so the hosting has more power. I don't need much for the VPS. So I install SolusVM then install two OS'es, install cP/WHM on one and use the other VPS? If I do it this way, the hosting will be like it's hosted on a VPS which I don't want.

You can do this, partition the dedi into 2 VPS' and make one more powerful than the other. Then you could just install cPanel on the VPS you wish to host sites on.

Can VPS'es utilize full 1gigabit connection cuz I heard they aren't powerful enough to go that fast cuz of those "virtual" BS things
