Moving to the Cloud: Creating your first ISP Manager account.
ISP Manager, which is offered free at VPS.NET, makes creating an account easy for your website easy. For those unfamiliar with ISP Manager, it is an alternative control panel available for managing your websites and server through a GUI interface. It has almost all the essential features, while also being lightweight on resource consumption making it great for small personal sites.
To get started with ISP Manger, enter http://yourip/manager into your browser window. ISP Manager will prompt you for the root password to login to the administrative interface. Once you’re logged in, click on the link users. Here we will be able to create an account.
In the top right hand corner there will be a green plus image. Click on that to bring up the account creation screen.
To give the account adequate permissions, for both usability and security, click on the permissions tab inside the pop up box.
Next click on the limits tab, which will allow you to set limits on resource consumption.
ISP Manager also has the unique feature of allowing you to set CPU, RAM and Process limitations in it, which will prevent one user from overloading the system.
Finally, if you wish to leave a note about a user, you can do so under the notes tab.
Once you have entered in all the information in each of the tabs, you can click on the okay button. ISP Manager will restart Apache, and your account will now be active.
