[QUOTE="GarettM, post: 265343, member: 839"] Okay i am gonna try to answer this i need to be more useful to the community ;) [B] 1. What VPS do I get that has the windows 1990 or whatever teamviewer-like interface? Where I can control it like I'm controlling someone elses computer via Teamviewer. Whats the exact name of this? I'm assuming it's Windows? Once I bought a Linux VPS, it just gave me a black cmd panel on a website which I don't want.[/B] [INDENT]Your thinking of Windows Server VPS and there usually more expensive then linux vps hookups. But Another note is you can get a linux/debian vps and install a desktop environment and vnc server - Kinda like tv/rdp. Personally i would go the cheaper path and get Ubuntu Server and install a Web Based GUI, and then install lighttpd. :P its a great setup for beginner.[/INDENT] [B]2. How do I set up a MySQL database like on shared hosting - MySQL databases/Phpmyadmin? I need this to host PHP scripts which need MySQL and forums etc.[/B] [INDENT]Shared hosting usually includes mysql hosting, so i don't understand the question. Personally i would use mysql-server on the VPS, more control.[/INDENT] [B]3. How/where do I upload my files like I do in FileZilla?[/B] [INDENT]two options here actually, 1.) On your VPS, you can use any FTP,FTPS Server. 2.) Shared Hosting Servers, Or Cloud Storage.[/INDENT] [B]4. What else do I need to do to get the website working with the domain, etc.[/B] [INDENT]Once you buy the domain you will have to create a HostRecord with A (Address) with your vps ip.[/INDENT] [B]5. What VPS would you recommend that's got a fairly cheap price?[/B] [INDENT]This i cannot help with sorry i used chicagoVPS and wasn't very happy with them. try googling "Best VPS Providers" TIP: I usually pay 20/30$ monthly for linux VPS. so a Windows VPS will be more expensive.[/INDENT] [B]6. Is there anything else that I should need to know before getting a VPS and hosting a website on it?[/B] [INDENT]Learn Linux, Mysql and common terms like vps, ftp, lighttpd, and more about windowsVPS and LinuxVPS setups.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
