Recommendations for VPS setup

Permalink
Hi,

I'm adding another VPS to our string of servers.

We will be using WHM/Cpanel to manage.

As I'm doing this one from scratch, can you recommend:

OS & version
Any extra PHP modules I should have installed (guessing I should be getting PHP5?)

Anything else I should know.


Best,
Jesse

If you're familiar with apt package manager, I would recommend Ubuntu 9.10 server, with the php packages:
php5
php5-cgi
php5-cli
php5-common
php5-curl
php5-gd
php5-mcrypt
php5-mysql
php5-suhosin
php5-xmlrpc
libapache2-mod-php5
in addition to mysql ofcourse
You may also consider using Cherokee (webserver) as it's much lighter than Apache.
