Server Administration

My server administration service is the perfect solution if you want or have a dedicated server, but do not have the time or technical expertise to manage it. Let me take care of your servers so that you can focus on growing your business. I provide server administration at a very small cost.
Given below are a few of the services included in my administration package:
Installing Software and Patches; Upgrading Software; Configuration Changes; Installing/Updating Firewall; Installing Secure (SSL) Certificates; Rebooting Server If Needed; Server Migration; Apache Configuration; Optimization, Restarting Services; And much more...

Server Optimization

If you have a high traffic website and you constantly have to restart Apache and MySQL, I can optimize your server so that you will not have to worry about it anymore. I've optimized numerous of high traffic servers and my customers love it. Your site will be faster and reliable. If your server doesn't keep up with your traffic you will lose potential customers or visitors. I will do my best to optimize your server.

Server Security

Server security is as always a non-profitable side of any company, but is probably saving thousands of dollars! Don't be the one that only look for a security administrator when the server is hacked or something similar, be smart, let me do my best to secure your server before you can loose your business! Upon your request, I can and will do the following: Installing CHKRootKit; Installing RootKit Hunter; SSH Hardening; Installing CSF Firewall; Installing Brute Force Detection; Secure and Optimize Apache (HTTP); MySQL optimization; Remove Unused Services; Shell Fork Bomb Protection; Tmp hardening ( /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm); Securing your PHP Installations; Installing Process Resource Monitor (PRM); Installing System Integrity Monitor (SIM); And much more...

Hacked Server Clean UP!

If your server was hacked and you need someone to clean it up, I will do it! I've created some decent shell scripts to look for suspicious files on the server, and with my knowledge of cleanup hacked servers in the past I will be able to take care of almost any type of hacking out there.

Server Migration

Moving to a different Data Center or only moving server around? I can do almost any type of migration. I love cPanel migration but that is not always the case. Simple contact me and give me a basic description of what you need and I will tell you if I can or can't do.

Initial Setup

Getting a server without cPanel? I've configured and managed numerous of non-cPanel servers. If you're getting a server with only SSH on it, I can install everything from ground up. And I mean, install and configure, including basic setup on services like Apache web server, MySQL database, PHP, BIND "DNS", etc. If you have a fresh server and needs cPanel installed, I can do it as well. Or, if you just got a new cPanel server and need help compiling/recompiling I will do it as well, I will also compile it for better security enforcement.

Monitoring

Monitoring servers with Nagios has made my life much easier. Nagios is the industry standard in enterprise-class monitoring for good reason. It's stable, scalable, supported, and extensible. Most importantly, it works! I'm able to use it to monitor Linux/Unix, Windows, Routers, Switches, Firewalls, Printers, Services and Applications. If you need 24x7 monitoring do let me know and we will be able to discuss something. If you are a customer with the Server Administration and Server Security packages I will be monitoring your server(s) at no extra cost.
Nagios has been a great new feature I've added to my packages, it allows me to do much more while keeping all service under a 24x7 monitoring. Take a look at what I'm able to monitor with Nagios:
HTTP; FTP; DNS; MySQL; SSH; SMTP; POP3; IMAP; CPU Load; RAM Usage; Process; Uptime; SWAP; DISK; Explorer, etc.

Consulting

If you need consulting on a new or existing project that you have which involves server setup, security, web and database clustering, web design, scripting, load balancing, backup strategies, etc. Lets setup a meeting and discuss best practices.
