Installing Ubuntu Hardy Heron as a web hosting server
Apr. 28, 2008

HowTo Forge has published a tutorial about setting up a server based on the new Ubuntu 8.04 (aka "Hardy Heron") release from last week. The article describes a base install with Apache, Webalyzer, BIND, Proftpd, MySQL, Courier POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, and other packages aimed at web hosting environments.

Hardy Heron has been called the next "business" release of the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution, in part because of maintainer Canonical Software's commitment to support the OS for three years. This support includes in-place upgrades to subsequent versions with both short-term and long-term support. At least one earlier reviewer has deemed the release ready to challenge Windows.

He writes in the introduction, "In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box).

The step-by-step tutorial can be found here.
