Thanks @karatekidmonkey

I am just confused where to begin from. I could set up the VPS first with LAMP stack or point the domain to the VPS ? I am planning to use VestaCP.

It doesn't matter what order you do it. I would do the DNS first, so that it's propagated by the time you get your server up.

By the way, I recommend NOT USING A CONTROL PANEL. They may seem easy, but as you get used to Linux, the terminal is MUCH easier and quicker. I learned that the hard way

Well, that might sound interesting, but what if you have customers who don't have any Unix knowledge? Or you don't know how to set up mailservers etc. Mailservers are almost my greatest hatred in setting up a VPS. (dunno if greatest hatred is correct. Correct me if I'm wrong :-))

Now your talking about something else.
For ur self:
U can try using it command line without web support
