This small article just to explain a simple thing it took me weeks to understand:

When trying to setup a cheap server (no, you don’t need a supercalculator with terras /1000GB/ of memory). First use linux, that is obvious, it’s stable and free. For beginners use a simple one: Ubuntu server . Now you have a server working, so to make it secure you want to disconnect inputs: keyboard and mouse. So how do you controll server? well  several tool available: 100% terminal users will go for ssh. simple and powerfull as u use the server as if you were in front of it (google for “ssh server ubuntu”).  But For people like me, born with user interfaces (GUI) we need one. Here comes in play webmin, Just before unpluging everything from the server, dl webmin debian package (.deb) and install it, well google for “setup webmin”. Now a server is online ip address of the server you get typing ifconfig in terminal. SO https://yourIPaddress:10000 are default settings, then you login with your normal account. Bing you have a graphical user interface for quite every task on the server.
