WHM, LiteSpeed & CloudLinux Setup

Customer: AI | Published: 06.12.2025

My server is a fresh AlmaLinux 9 install with nothing on it yet, and I want to turn it into a fully operational, secure hosting platform. Here’s what I need done: • Install and license WHM/cPanel, then swap Apache for LiteSpeed and tune it for performance. • Convert the OS to CloudLinux, enable LVE Manager and CageFS, and make sure all limits work with LiteSpeed. • Inside WHM, create the core hosting packages I’ll use—cPanel, the required PHP extensions, and a reliable email server—so new accounts are provisioned with everything ready to go. • Deploy and connect WHMCS to WHM so automated provisioning, billing and account suspension/unsuspension all function correctly. • Apply a full, hardened security configuration: CSF firewall, SSH and cPHulk tweaks, malware/virus scanning, SSL/TLS defaults and any additional best-practice steps you normally follow. • Finish by documenting credentials, licenses and the exact steps you took, so I can maintain or replicate the setup later. You’ll be working on a clean box, so no legacy conflicts to worry about—just deliver a smooth, secure and production-ready stack. Let me know your timeframe and any license details you’ll need from me to get started.
