Thanks for your suggestions.

I did not know that webmin could be used for a web hosting platform. I 
mean that I have only heard negative comments about it. And I thought 
that it was over bloated and was full of unwanted services thus making 
it very insecure.

Now that you have mentioned it and corrected my thinking, I will 
definitely look into it and consider it.

Thanking you...
