Well, my VPS is basically dead and the tech that was helping me fix it, the one from the company I bought from can't fix the problem. So, the only thing working on the VPS is backend. As I think it to be an apache or PHP problem. The only way that I know to fix it is to re-install apache. But, that would remove ALL accounts on the server.

Sorry to hear that.
I only just chanced by this thread, though provider EndOfLife's are always for variants on these kinds of problems.

Can you explain a little more about exactly what this means, and how your new venture with Cross Industries escapes this fate?
Hi Schmarvin.
Can you explain a little more about exactly what this means, and how your new venture with Cross Industries escapes this fate?
Well, although I used to offer cPanel hosting for free, it became too expensive. And yes, I came to expect nothing in return. But, I offered ad-based plans which offered more space/bandwidth for the clients, and people took advantage of that and didn't place ads. As well as overloading the server with junk.
Now, I've got a DirectAdmin VPS sponsored. But, its not as great as cPanel to people. Yet, its $10 more, and requires higher server specs. Can't find a sponsor for a cPanel VPS yet. I'm still looking. But, as for now. I'm using Cross Industries. I may be renewing Glacier Host.

Explanation (as by a user of Cross Industries)
Basically, as explained in the announcement on the Cross Industries forum, the VPS crashed (or, more specifically, Apache) when he tried to install WordPress MU for his automated blog hosting system. I would guess that it was because it required an edit of the httpd.conf file to add Wildcard DNS (as required). Somehow, during the encoding, the file got out of whack. Thus, as a result, Apache crashes and the server is down.
The reason it probably won't happen now is because he probably won't have a need to edit any important system file, thus the system runs by itself. And, he has two servers now so one crashing will only bring one control panel system down, and possibly the forum (depending on which VPS it is).
Again, this is what I think, based on info I have and a bit of logical thinking. If this explains it, great, and if it doesn't, Schmarvin can try to help there.
I'll explain that, if it's OK.
