Why Virtualmin is our choice of web admin panel

Posted on by

We get asked this question a lot, especially by the people who have already been accustomed to using a more familiar control panel, such as cPanel. Why did we settle on using Virtualmin as out web admin panel of choice?

The short answer is that we believe that Virtualmin gives more control. We love to have better control of our systems, and we think our clients deserve to have the ability to control the fine details of their hosted services.

Most web admin panels try to simplify things too much. So much that an advanced client would really feel crippled when they look for some setting and not find it.

We admit that the learning curve of Virtualmin might be a bit steep for a new comer to the web hosting world, this is why we are always happy to assist our clients in configuring their servers and websites while showing them how it is done, so they can do it later on their own, if they so desire.

We also post new tutorials on this site whenever we feel there’s a need for one. See the How To posts: /post/category/howto.

How we keep your servers secure

Posted on by

We have been managing online servers since the year 2000. We have an excellent record in security with zero breaches. We have the experience and the right personnel.

When you rent a managed server from us (physical or virtual), we take care of it just like one of our own, with a bundle of measures that keep the servers fortified covering a spectrum of aspects.

The list of these measure can be long, so here are some of them:

  • Using reputable software that is only obtained from reputable and verified sources.
  • Immediate integration of security updates.
  • Periodic integration of feature updates.
  • Periodic scanning for hacking entry holes (penetration-testing from the outside).
  • Periodic scanning for possible weaknesses in the system configuration.
  • A virus and malware scanner is always running on the system and is up to date.
  • A strict firewall that only allows a selection of applications to communicate over the internet.
  • Daily backups stored off-site.

There are also measures to ensure the continuous availability of the server, in case something goes wrong. This is known in the industry as High Availability (HA), and we offer it according to your requirements (e.g. and uptime percentage, like 99.9%) versus the cost.
