Hosting Control Panel Support

Professional Linux administration for HestiaCP, DirectAdmin, cPanel & WHM and VestaCP servers.

Installation, configuration, troubleshooting, migrations, web and email services, databases, backups, security and performance — plus the Linux services running underneath the panel, not just the interface itself.

Your server. Your provider. Our Linux expertise.

More Than Control Panel Support

The panel is one layer of the server, not the whole thing

Behind the interface: Linux, NGINX, Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, Exim, Dovecot, DNS, SSL, firewall, backups. When a panel shows an error, the actual cause is often somewhere deeper in that stack — we support both levels.

Panels We Support

HestiaCP, DirectAdmin, cPanel & WHM, VestaCP

HestiaCP

Installations, configuration, PHP versions, NGINX/Apache, MariaDB, Redis, Exim/Dovecot, DNS, SSL, backups, updates, migrations.

DirectAdmin

Installation, server prep, CustomBuild, web/mail/DB stack, security, migrations — individual accounts or the entire server.

cPanel & WHM

Installation, WHM configuration, Apache, PHP, databases, Exim, DNS, SSL, firewall, migrations — we check the Linux services behind WHM, not just what it reports.

VestaCP

Troubleshooting for existing installs. For older environments, we can help evaluate staying vs migrating to a more actively maintained panel.

Control Panel Installation

New VPS or dedicated server?

We prepare the server and install the right panel: hostname/DNS, OS updates, panel install, PHP configuration, database services, email, SSL, firewall, backups. We help choose between HestiaCP, DirectAdmin and cPanel based on site count, email needs, licensing and how the server will actually be used.

What We Troubleshoot

Underneath the Panel

Hosting, email, databases & PHP

Website Hosting

NGINX, Apache, PHP-FPM, SSL, DNS, MySQL/MariaDB, WordPress, permissions — one account or every account on the server.

Email

Exim, Dovecot, SMTP, IMAP, SSL, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, reverse DNS, mail queues — mailbox-level or server-wide.

Databases

Service failures, configuration, high CPU, memory, connections, backup, recovery, migration.

PHP & PHP-FPM

Version changes, pool configuration, memory limits, extensions, compatibility — especially after a WordPress site breaks post-upgrade.

SSL & DNS

Let’s Encrypt, failed renewals, incorrect DNS, hostname mismatches, mail service SSL. If the panel also manages DNS: nameservers, A/AAAA/MX records, SPF/DKIM/DMARC — handled carefully when websites and email share the same domain config.

Backups

Configuration, schedules, retention, remote and offsite backups, failed jobs, restoration. We generally recommend against relying on a single local backup copy.

Migration

Same panel, or switching entirely

Control Panel Migration

HestiaCP→HestiaCP, DirectAdmin→DirectAdmin, cPanel→cPanel, VestaCP to something newer, old VPS to new VPS, dedicated or provider-to-provider — websites, databases, email, DNS, SSL, accounts and configuration. Larger migrations get a source-environment review first.

Moving Between Panels

VestaCP to HestiaCP, cPanel to DirectAdmin, or an older environment to a clean new server. More complex than moving files — websites, databases, email, DNS and account structure all need planning.

Control Panel Security

Panel access, SSH, firewall rules, Fail2Ban, OS updates, exposed ports, admin accounts, SSL, unnecessary services — reducing exposure while keeping legitimate administration practical.

Compromised Hosting Server

One compromised account can affect others on the same server. We investigate hacked WordPress sites, malicious PHP, suspicious users, cron jobs and outgoing spam — if the OS itself can’t be trusted, rebuilding may be safer than superficial cleanup.

Performance

One account, or the whole server?

A busy website, PHP-FPM, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, email activity, backup jobs, bots, disk I/O, or genuinely insufficient resources. We determine whether it’s the panel environment, one specific account, or the underlying infrastructure.

Support for Web Agencies

Behind the scenes, while you keep the client relationship

Server administration, hosting problems, migrations, email, DNS, backups, performance and security — the agency stays the primary contact, we handle the Linux infrastructure when needed.

Which Panel Should You Use?

Depends on number of websites, email requirements, customer accounts, licensing budget, server resources and migration needs. We recommend what fits the environment, not automatically the most expensive option.

Hosting Infrastructure Experience Since 2004

More than 22 years of practical experience with Linux servers, web hosting, control panels, websites, databases, email, DNS, backups and production infrastructure. A control panel makes administration easier, but it doesn’t replace the Linux services underneath it.

Your server. Your provider. Our Linux expertise.
