Ev1 is now Planet? What do you do to admin your boxes?

[Snowballer]

Hi,

first off, ev1 is now theplanet right?

secondly, for those of you who run unix boxes, how much admin work do you do really? Most of you have CP's so setting up domains is just pointing-and-clicking, but do you ever have to do anything beyond that?

Yes.

And yes, tons more beyond point and click. The control panels only do enough to get you in trouble.

Cpanel is really good about doing updates.

But definitely, when you first get a server, have a place like ConfigServer.com go over it and do the security hardening and setup.

Chris, did you do it all yourself?

can configserver.com be trusted?

[Chris]

No, and Yes.
