I do thanks.

They'd better not disappear - I only just joined netcup!

That's not a good sign - are they having problems in general?

I thought it was an automated process, like other hosting companies that I've used. But it's done now.

I already have an account and a VPS package with them.

I sent off an email but I assume everyone in Germany is asleep!

Hmm, I ordered it 3 hours ago. Maybe it didn't tie to my account properly.

I purchased an additional VPS plan but I'm still waiting for it to be approved. How long does it normally take?

Thanks all. For now I have a free account on an SMTP relay elsewhere.

I have a netcup VPS server. Does netcup provide an SMTP server that I can use to relay notification emails from my website? Thanks

I don't think I need it. I wanted to make sure by reading more about it. I'll look at those recommendations. Thanks.

How often do you update your media images? For example, Froxlor is on Debian 8, which I think from memory includes PHP5.

I had a quick look around the Froxlor site to see if it's something that might be useful to me, but I don't see any documentation about how it works. I've played with the demo a bit, but that doesn't tell me everything. Is there an english manual anywhere or should I just install it and play around with it?

Will do. I live far enough away you'll miss anyway!

Thanks Thomas. I'm definitely not an expert, though I've been using Linux since the 90s. I was confused how Froxlor (strange name!) was related to my vServer. Now I understand.

If you install an image, I assume it replaces whatever OS is already installed? But how does it affect Froxlor? I've not used a hosting platform that included anything like Froxlor, so I'm also confused how it is all related to whatever is installed.
