    Our first dedicated server

    Hello, our small company just orders first own dedicated server. We know basics of unix and we are experienced with many virtual hosts. But still we are little bit scared of own management. Server is located in different country, we get it pre-installed but all further changes we have to do at our own and as a remote root login. Could you advise us with some good control panel for Red Hat root remote access which is at least little bit safe (yes, we know it is riscy way but we need to make the process simple at least on the beginning) and enables apache, domains, sqls etc. configuration?

          You need shell access software?

          Try Putty

              Rather some system control web panel, need not anything too sophisticated as we do not plan resell space to other people. And must work when used on remoted computer.

                webmin comes with redhat, will do most things. might pay off to look into cpanel or plesk as well.

                  Webmin is pretty much the only choice, install it, it's free.

                    I can't really help you. But why haven't you taken a fully managed box?

                      bluff: cause its best to control our servers by yourself
                      if you dont know shit about that
                      at least pay someone to take care of it
                      but not someone who charge 100000$/hour for destroying the box with some stupid soft :P

                          Good luck with your new box but I think you are going to have problems and headaches. Make sure you have some expert help in case you need it.

                            You should get somebody to secure up the server before it gets hacked into. Get somebody to also optimzie any programs running, like Apache. If you don't secure that server properly, your going to hate having that server.

                              I like this to manage:

                              http://www.f-secure.com/products/ssh/index.shtml

                              You can log in as "root" and use commands to manage and update the server.

                              It also has , aside from above, an " ftp" type of interface allowing you to view and edit the files right there ( ,htaccess, apache conf. and so on).

                              Ifyou can, get a control panel such as Cpanel and WHM. The later allows you to tweak your server, manade dns, ip's, mail servers, create accounts, .

                              Good luck.

                              But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                all servers at webair.com are completely managed, come with webair proprietary control panel, or c-panel, those are the cps that I personally would recommend...although i hear ensim and plesk are pretty cool as well
