Newbie questions

I'm new to VPS.

I wish to setup a domain on my server. With a fixed quota.

What I need to do? And what nameserver should I use on my registrar to get it to point to my VPS?

Log in to WHM as root, and click on "Create a New Account". That menu will allow you to specify the disk quota.

As for nameservers, you will have to set up custom nameservers with your registrar that point to the Nameserver IP addresses given to you when you signed up for the VPS. Support can do this for you if you registered a domain through SurpassDomains.

Thanks, it's working now.

Now for SSH access, I tried with the same user and password combination as when I created the account but I get an "access denied" error when trying to connect. Do I have to enable ssh somewhere?

Thanks again.
Felix.

Yes, you'll have to enable it via the root account in WHM. Click on "Manage Shell Access".

I got it working now.

And for FTP is there any switch? I can't connect.

Nope, FTP should be enabled by default. If you can't connect, please submit a support ticket so that they can look into it for you.

I finally got everything. I restarted the ftp daemon and then had to sync cpanel passwords in WHM.

Thank you very much.
Felix.

No problem - glad you were able to get it going.
