[QCLUG] VPS setup

Forgive me if this is off-topic!  Well, the server is running Unix . . . 
is that close enough?  I figure there's gotta be several of you at least 
who are familiar with setting up server accounts.  This is with Spry and 
while I know I can follow instructions, what I am finding seems 
incomprehensible to me!  The WHM (web host manager) is very full 
featured and has functions I probably won't need for quite a while.  All 
I want to do is set up web sites!

I'm sure a lot of my confusion has to do with terminology that is 
obscure to me, like nameservers, host names, etc. Primary, secondary, 
tertiary, nameservers?  Can each IP have many site names?  Even after 
reading the "definition" on wikipedia, I'm still not quite sure.

I won't go into any more detail unless someone thinks he can help--we 
can go to private email rather than cluttering up this list.

Thanks in advance,

Juanita
