http://serverfault.com – I have no idea if this is the right place to ask, but I'm a bit desperate. I have been working for a few days now to set up a EC2 instance with cPanel. I realized fast that this was not easy, especially because I know almost nothing when it comes to server administration (if anybody have a simple guide of how to go through the initial whm setup on EC2, please let me know). My Question is simply what is the best place to learn the basics (and maby a bit byond the basics) of administrating a dedicated server. I need to learn how to work with the SSH access, how DNS records work ++ (HowTos)

Will I have a cPanel? is it same as the one in shared hosting?

Hey all, I have a very basic question. Do I need anything besides Postfix to receive emails?

To send them out, I use SendGrid, but I can't seem to grasp the basics for receiving emails. I would guess that when someone sends it to example@domain.com, the traffic would find it's way to domain.com and the server would put it in example's email directories.
