THE REALITY OF SHARED HOSTING

What server
management should cover.

A server review checks firewall rules, PHP configuration, mail services, and access permissions. We look at the settings actually in use and identify changes the site needs.

We've been managing cPanel/WHM environments for years. We review the existing configuration before recommending changes. Configuration is one part of reducing risk, alongside updates, monitoring, backups, and application security.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

cPanel Is the Control Plane.
CSF Is the Guard Dog.

cPanel and WHM aren't just hosting control panels — they're the command center for everything that happens on a Linux web server. User accounts, email routing, DNS zones, SSL management, PHP version control, cron jobs, backups. When you're fluent in cPanel/WHM, you control the entire stack.

"We have years of cPanel/WHM experience and configure CSF around the services each server needs."

CSF — ConfigServer Security & Firewall — provides firewall and login-failure controls for cPanel environments. It goes far beyond basic iptables rules: login failure detection, port scan protection, connection tracking, SMTP authentication enforcement, and real-time block list integration. Properly configured, it transforms a standard VPS into a hardened server.

WHAT WE BRING TO YOUR SERVER

Six Layers of
cPanel/CSF Expertise

Our server work covers configuration, access, email, malware review, and backups.

01

CSF Firewall Configuration

Port rules, connection limits, login failure thresholds, SMTP lockdowns, and real-time IP reputation blocking. Configured around the services the server needs.

02

Brute Force Mitigation

CSF's LFD daemon watches every authentication attempt across SSH, FTP, webmail, and WordPress — and auto-bans attackers after configurable failure thresholds, before they reach your application.

03

WHM Server Management

Multi-account WHM environments, reseller setups, package limits, resource quotas, and PHP version management per account. We've run WHM environments managing dozens of live sites simultaneously without incident.

04

Mail Security & Deliverability

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BoxTrapper, SpamAssassin, and outbound SMTP rate limiting via CSF. We configure email authentication and sending controls to support deliverability and monitor problems.

05

Malware Scanning & Cleanup

ClamAV integration, LMD (Linux Malware Detect), and manual auditing of suspicious file patterns. After a compromise, we inspect suspicious files and logs, remove identified malicious changes, and investigate the entry point.

06

SSL, Backups & Hardening

AutoSSL for every domain, automated off-server backup schedules, PHP handler hardening (suPHP/suEXEC), open_basedir restrictions, and disabling dangerous PHP functions — the full security checklist, actually checked.
