Need a Server Admin? Don't want a company? I'm your man.
 

Looking for a Server Admin to work on your server? don't want a large impersonal company to do your work? want someone that will work with your custom setup & deal with your customers how you want them too? I might be who you're looking for. I specialize in RHEL3/CentOS servers running cPanel/WHM but I am capable of working on just about any linux system out there.

I do Server Lockdowns (security), Restores after crash/compromise, transfers, custom setups, gameservers, upgrades, monitoring (24/7) and technical support.

I charge per all jobs on a per-case basis because I believe that no two jobs are exactly the same, if you are not comfortable with contract rates, I also charge hourly at $25/h.

My resume & references are available upon request, you can contact me at mwdees [at] houston.rr.com, on AIM & Yahoo at AnnihiLizard, ICQ at 62161622 and MSN at mwdees [at] houston.rr.com

I have a linux box running with cPanel/WHM, it needs an OS reload, and I also need to reinstall the latest version of Zend optimizer as well as the GD module and upgrade the redhat kernel (https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-417.html), I then need to have it locked down.
I would also need a few hours a month to check it for security breaches.
What would be your rate?

Do you have serial console or KVMoIP access to the box? Otherwise I dont see how someone whos remote is going to do a reformat lol..

You can ask your datacenter to reformat it, and then have someone do the work.

Its probably a good thing if you listed your contact info as well

I got a few boxes at servermatrix. I never had to reload the OS on a server, so I have no idea if someone needs to be present or if it can be done remotely. :)
My ICQ is 172-785-646

Magg it can be done using offsite backups and telling the DC to reimage it for you :)

I'll save your email for later, might have use for an admin

Yeah, but you arnt doing the reformat, so it goes back to what I said :winkwink:

bah :) same thing in essence

actually its pretty doable without console access and without dc intervention.
there are multiple ways of doing it, one of them is using the swap partition
to create a new root (/), or you can always boot an image in memory which has
ssh on, then login and format the disk.

or you just pay SM the $25 for the reimage/reload :)
