I understand when you get a VPS account and log into the admin part it is probably very confusing and overwhelming. I want to take a moment to explain what you need to focus on to setup "Wealth Plan" sites.
This will cover WHM (Web Host Manager) the server administration side of cPanel. As with happens in life you are going to use 20% (really less) 80% of the time. So lets get to it.
I suggest you create a general hosting plan. Click on "Add Packages (http://demo.cpanel.net:2086/scripts/addpkgform)" link under the Packages section.
Type something in the "New Package Name" that makes sense like "Wealth Plan" (no quotes though). Now set "Quota" equal to 100, "Bandwidth" to 10000 and make "Dedicated IP" is unchecked. All the other settings should be okay and may be unlimited. When complete click "Add". You don't need to repeat this step in the future for "Wealth Plan" sites.
Now under "Account Functions" choose "Create A New Account". You should type in the domain (no www's) for example: somewebsite.biz and then fill out the reset of the form. You should note the "Wealth Plan" package in a drop list that will auto fill out a lot of the form saving you time. Once you are done click on the add button and there you go the domain on the server is ready.
Now you still have to point your domain(s) to your VPS just like you would if you were using standard hosting. However the VPS should be ready for the domain to point to it. Now just upload your files like before and repeat step 3 to add new domains.I hope that helps.
