It is recommended to provision your server with these settings.
Raid 1 is for a mirrored array which adds redundancy to the server while.
Raid 0 is a stripped array which doubles the risk of losing data when a drive failure occurs.
WHM/cPanel Requirements can be found here: http://cpanel.net/cpanel-whm/system-requirements/
You may reach this page by going to https://<server ip>:2087. Login with the username "root" and the root password that you setup before provisioning the server.
Agree to the terms.
[[File:1392329660.png Fill in email address to get a response from the server if necessary. The hostname was start with a subdomain that is not www. and The current hostname of the server must be set to a valid FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) to work properly.

In this example, we're going to use OpenDNS.
Setup IP Addresses
This server was configured to only have a single (1) IP. You may however add more using that form if need be.
For this example we're going to "Skip This Step and Use Default Settings".
Name Servers - It is recommended to use the default BIND, we're going to be using it for this example.
Name Servers Continued...
Label the "Nameserver 1" and "Nameserver 2" fields with the names that you want.
It is recommended that you check both boxes and also register these nameservers with your domain registrar. Please contact your domain registrar on how to do so.
"Save & Goto Step 5"
FTP - It is recommended to use Pure-FTPD however you may choose ProFTPD if you wish.
Mail Server Config - It is recommended to use Dovecot but you may choose Courier.
cPhulk - It is recommended to check the box labeled "Send notification when brute force user is detected:" and to also check the "Configure Advanced Settings" box
and configure the settings accordingly.
Perl - If you use perl with your sites you may check the box labeled "Provide modules to /usr/bin/perl formerly provided by checkperlmodules".
"Save & Goto Step 6"
Please wait as the server is configuring the services.
Quotas - It is recommended to "Use file system quotas." so you can track a websites size.
"Finish Setup Wizard"
Feature Showcase - It is recommended to enable "Email Archiving", "Email Settings Auto Discover" and "Query Apache for “nobody†senders.".
The server will then apply those settings and will present you with the homepage when you login to WHM.
You may reach this page by going to https://<server ip>:2087. Login with the username "root" and the root password that you setup before provisioning the server.
