Dedicated cPanel Server & Mail

I have a fresh dedicated server ready and want it transformed into a fully-functional hosting and email platform, all managed through cPanel.

Here’s the scope: the server needs a clean OS install (your recommendation is welcome), hardening, cPanel/WHM configuration, DNS setup, and the creation of a reliable mail server with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and secure SSL for both web and email traffic. I’ll supply the domain details and any licence keys you request; you handle the rest—from initial partitioning to final deliverables that let me log in, add a new website, and send a test email without landing in spam.

Acceptance criteria
• SSH access secured and root login restricted
• cPanel/WHM running smoothly with named services (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, Exim, etc.) optimised
• Mail deliverability confirmed by passing standard tests (MXToolbox, Mail-Tester)
• Clear hand-over notes covering installed versions, passwords, and routine update commands

If you’ve set up multiple cPanel dedicated servers before and can deliver within a couple of days, I’d love to work with you.
