What you need to know about VPS administration?

Question

Network administration

Hello, I have a desire to transfer a website from shared hosting to VPS with ISP Manager panel. The company to which I want to transfer the site provides basic administration services : installing the OS, installing standard php modules, updating all software, setting up nginx / mysql for the project load. That is, initially everything will be set up for me, but I still have a question, what do you need to know when administering a VPS and what problems most often arise? I repeat - updating the software is included in the basic administration. And if you host your sites on a VPS, how much time do you spend on administration?

Answer 1

I work in this area, in support. There is no universal answer. All cases are individual. The easiest option is to put yourself a virtual machine, deploy CentOS 6 in it, because. it is used in most cases. Roll VestaCP or test ipsmanager on it for 15 days and experiment. Read a lot of literature about unix. Learn to work with the console.

Answer 2

VPS in most cases is a standard operating system based on the linux distribution.
you will have to study both linux and the VPS control panel, for example Proxmox
