self hosting question with bought domain name

You set up the vhosts on your server. The config depends on which distro you are using, but a general guide is here - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

As long as port 80 is only open to the outside world, you should be ok. If the whole server is open to the web, I world recommend disabling root access over ssh and changing the ssh port at a minimum. :)

You just need to make the main A record point to your static IP. It will then point to the default site on your server (in /var/www), if you want to host more than one site you will need to set up vhosts. :)

I have never had to use mine in anger, but they are on the "good things to have" list on a landrover forum. :P You just put the ring over the nut and then tighten the hex head bolt thingy to push the splitter though the nut.

Huh, didn't know about that.

Our windows hosting is pretty awesome though (for being windows and all..). :P

It's developed completely in-house and it's a load balanced cluster, so it deals with large amounts of traffic very well as well as separating the services like mail from the webhosting. There is a cloud enquiry here - http://forum.vidahost.com/index.php?threads/shared-vs-cloud-hosting.1884 where I have explained the differences a bit better. :)

in my opinion it's much easier to use than cPanel and it's very speedy. You can also run windows and Linux or hybrid sites under the same account, whereas cPanel only supports Linux.

That message amused me at work, when I was installing .net on a remote server over RDP. :)

On cPanel you have access to softaculous for auto installation of scripts.

Edit: If you have custom requirements for space/bandwidth, I'm sure we can work something out. Just drop an email to support@vidahost.com :)

Well we host a lot of reseller customers; on our cPanel, cloud and server platforms. With cPanel, it's easy to scale up to a server, with the cloud you can scale your soft limits.

We have lot of reviews to be found on the web.

We are also one of the cheapest domain registrars in the UK!

Edit: Should probably add that we are a small friendly human (with a dog) team, based in Maidenhead. Servers are in Bluesquare Maidenhead and Equinix LD5 in Slough. We own all our servers and network. Customer support is 9am - 11pm on the phone (free phone) and close to 24/7 with tickets (average reply time is 10 minutes).

The leatherman skeletool is pretty awesome. It has all the things you need; a knife, pliers and screw driver bits.

We are using mediawiki and dokuwiki for internal documentation and Kayako for tickets. :)
