Joe, thanks for your helpful post. I am new to Xitami, just learning to do my own hosting, so your comments are helpful. I did get beyond VHost creation, so you are right, after a couple of them others are easy to set up.
I will need to create a SSL for my server. If you have tips on how to do it (I am not knowledgeable at this point), could you please refer me to a good source on this? Explanations are welcome, of course.
Thanks a lot,
Maria Eliseeva
