Setting up your own server
For those of you who may be in our same situation, switching from a managed shared hosting account to your own unmanaged server or VPS, I wrote a little how-to to help you were your resources are scarce and you just cannot use easy tools like cPanel.
This isn’t really “for dummies”, the tutorial doesn’t follow you step by step, but hey, you can get such a configuration to run even on a system with 128MB of RAM.
You can find the tutorial here.
