Linux is more secure, stable and fast.
Linux with Centos 6 is one of the best choose.

WHM/cPanel makes things easiest but I want to ask, if someone have a server without any control panel but only ssh and ftp what are the basic steps to do after the Os installation (CentOs - Debian - Ubuntu etc.) ?

I know that must installed IonCube Loader - MemCache - MySQLi - Zip, there is any other additive that must be installed on the server for security or something else?

Without a control panel you will need to install a web server ( like apache ) php, mysql, ioncube, and ftp server.

You basically want a LAMP setup. LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP.

I'd recommend following a tutorial, it will give you step by step commands you will need to enter on SSH ( putty ).

Centos 6.3 example:

You are absolutely right, I forgot to mention that LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is the first that must do after a fresh install of server Os
There is anything else about security of server? for example:
disable_functions
CODE:
escapeshellarg,escapeshellcmd,exec,ini_alter,parse_ini_file,passthru,pcntl_exec,popen,proc_close,proc_get_status,proc_nice,proc_open,pro  c_terminate,show_source,shell_exec,symlink,system

or something else?

Hi,

here is the a few security tips:
- Use different FTP and SSH port.
- Do not install any thirty part script.
- Always use recent stable and secure version of: PHP, Apache, MySQL and TSUE.
- Make sure that your server is up-to-date.

There are tons of jobs must be done to get best secured server but those are a few importants..

I prefer openSUSE.

Cause for admins is this the fastest AND easiest way to run a web server.
All is running out of the box.
The only thing you have to do is:

1. Start mysql and apache ( you can do this about YaST )
2. open port 80 in firewall

Thats it
