No, I want to run a site without using the cPanel, making the code by hand.

I think Yum is asking how to make this without use any software.

First, you need to configure on your registar to point our domain name to your dedicated server IP. After this, if you use apache, you need to take a look on virtual hosts configurations. Here you can set your subdomains, domains and paths of your webserver.

For reference, take a look on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html

Not sure cause I've never used cPanel but if it just configures apache then it shouldn't change when you uninstall cPanel.

Hi Yum,

If you are a fairly Linux savvy user, I would highly recommend researching on installing the following...

Nginx

PHP-FPM

APC

Those 3 packages alone provide a much better performance than Apache and Lighttpd w/ PHP-based webservers. You can edit the configuration in Nginx to set your sub-domains to access different directories.

You might look into "ISPConfig" its easy and free. I would still recommend cPanel my self tho.
