On cpanel you can setup many domains under just one account as long as you activate the addon-domains to the package of your user.

But, for security/organizational reasons I would advise you to install each domain under a diferent user.

If you need help with WHM shoot me a PM.
Or I can tell you how I would do it.

1- Create a reseller account on WHM(to avoid using root as a reseller)
2- Create hosting packages
3- Attribute packages to the reseller
4- Login to the reseller account
5- Create user/users
6- Login user(s) to cpanel and configure the domain(s)

thanks... will PM you.

'fully managed' dedicated hosting - super easy
shared hosting - super easy
'fully managed' vps - super complicated

If your VPS have kloxo just install it, it has a control panel you may feel comfortable with.
However kloxo relies on CentOS 5 and can't run bitcoind.
For bitcoind you'll need Debian 6, you can install Webmin over Debian for manage it from an interface.

if anyone can help me with a vps setup i'd appreciate it.

i've used cpanel plenty of times before but never 'whm' so i'm lost there.

i've paid for a vps and need to get my initial domain set up but don't know the best way to do it.

i'm NOT a reseller... so i guess my question is, can i set up heaps of domains under just one cpanel/ftp account or do i need to make a separate account for each?

i've contacted support and they are somewhat helpful but slow to respond.
