Simple Harddisk partition, assume only for vps and have or more 50GB of space

/boot    200MB
/tmp    2GB
/    20GB
/home    rest of partition

For a dedicated server with 160GB space or more

/boot	200MB
/tmp	2GB
/usr	15GB
/var	20GB
/	20GB
/home	rest of partition
/backup another physical disk

SWAP partition always twice the memory size. The size is just for reference only. They adjustable to your needs.

So below is the equation for partitions for cpanel server (HDD 250GB/Mem 2GB)

/boot        150MB
/usr          10% of HDD = 10% of 250GB = 25GB
/var          5% of HDD = 5% of 250GB = 12,5GB or you can round up 15GB
/tmp         1 x Memory = 1 x 2GB = 2GB
swap         2 x Memory = 2 x 2GB = 4GB
/              10GB
/home       the rest of HDD
/backup    another hdd just use them all

edit /var should have 15% of HDD
