So I'm taking the plunge into VDS. Has anyone else switched from godaddy shared hosting to VDS? I'm trying to figure out the directory structure. There is conflicting documentation of public_html vs. var/www/html. But if I create those folders and throw an index.html in either of them, nothing happens.
It's possible I'm not at root access. Should there already be files on the server? When I ftped in it was blank?
Also, what essential software do I need to install to ensure my server functions properly?
Thanks for any pointers.
