CPanel/WHM: How To Setup Secure Subdomain

Mar 20, 2007

I am really getting confused now. Some people tell me it is possible to set up a simple subdomain and add a SSL-certificate to this, while others tell me I have to set up a new account for the subdomain (subdomain.domain.com) in WHM and assign it to it's own IP-adress.

So, my queston is what is the best way to set up a secure subdomain, like [url]? I have already purchased a SSL-certificate for secure.domain.com.

Reliable, Secure, Non-oversold, Non-cPanel Host

Jan 3, 2009

I've used many webhosts over the years and have run into various issues from which I've compiled my key wants:

Reliability - availability of mail & web are both just as important - I've had a few hosts who have great HTTP uptime, but mail can go down for hours and is not covered by any SLA. Prefer clustered solutions using a NAS, or at the least RAID-1 (or 10). I recognise downtime is inevitable, I care more about the impact of single component failure and recovery time.

Control Panel/Security - I'd prefer the host to have a custom control panel (i.e. not cPanel/WHM, Plesk/Parallels, DirectAdmin, H-Sphere etc). I really like DreamHost's panel, in particular their model of arbitrary combinations of shell users and domains underneath them. I like to use this to separate installs of untrusted software (such as MovableType, Wordpress, Gallery, Joomla) into their own user accounts so that if one gets compromised it doesn't hose everything. Need multiple domain hosting.

Disk - 2GB sufficient, 3-4GB preferable.
Bandwidth - 10GB or more (I don't really use more than 2GB but prefer not to worry about overage)
Price - I'm happy to pay US$20-30 for a premium service.
Support - I'm technically savvy and only need for support to be responsive to technical questions & issues (i.e. reporting downtime).

To provide some background - I'm currently a customer of both DreamHost and Media Temple (gs). DH sucks because their uptime is completely unpredictable, I have kept it only because their user/domain model is convenient for toying with untrusted software. (mt) was to be the ideal host but reliability of their (gs) service is crap despite all the claims about superior architecture. Additionally they don't allow separation of users/domains and I don't want to host multiple 3rd party apps in the one account. To their credit (mt)'s support is extremely responsive and the company as a whole are very transparent about outages but they simply have too many technology issues.

How Secure Is My VPS

Aug 7, 2008

vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=281011

How secure is my VPS? Anyone who has some free time and is reading this thread could please try to do some penetration-testing or something related (I really do not know much about network security) in order to know if my server configuration could be the problem?

Do you find any way to download the full database without login on the system (cPanel or phpMyAdmin)?

Secure FTP

Mar 27, 2008

I have an application that requires a Secure FTP connection to a server to work. I am having trouble connecting to one server, a windows based server, while the CentOS Linux server is working fine.

Does anyone know where I can find test Secure FTP locations so I can determine if the issue is with misconfiguration or with an incompatibility of the program with windows Secure FTP sites?

I am able to connect to both sites using WinSCP and choosing Secure FTP.

Secure UK VPS - DPA

Nov 11, 2007

Ive been using Dreamhost for years and there great however, One of my clients needs has drastically changed and they are now required to comply with the Data Protection Act.

In particular this bit make Dreamhost a bit of a no go due to them being in California:

"Personal information may not be transmitted outside the EEA unless the individual whom it is about has consented or adequate protection is in place, for example by the use of a prescribed form of contract to govern the transmission of the data."

Unless my client goes and asks all 1000+ customers they are kinda in a bit of a quandary. So here's what im looking for:

Secure UK Datacenter, eg Easynet, Blue Square etc
128mb RAM, 256mb Burstable, 20GB storage, 500GB transfer
LAMP Environment
Support within Business Hours
Control Panel

Way To Secure SVN

Feb 4, 2007

So I just got SVN installed on my server, and now I'm wondering about the best way to go about securing it. This is what I've had done so far

the executables were installed to /usr/bin as ROOT

Then I created a directory in /usr/local/svn as ROOT to hold the svn repositories (the conf folders, etc).

I've decided that I'd like to use the SVNSERVE tool rather than have to run Apache2 which my current VPS provider does not provide any support for.

So I've run SVNSERVE like so:
svnserve -d -r /usr/local/svn --listen-port=7126

Then for each repository within the /usr/local/svn folder I've gone into the conf folder and added:

anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passfile
realm = myrealm

The passfile is located in the same directory (ie. /usr/local/svn/test) and contains my users in the format:

[users]
harry = harryssecret
sally = sallyssecret

I then run my checkouts like so:
svn checkout svn://mysite.com:7126/test

Now my question is how secure is this. I was tempted to use svn+ssh but I couldn't seem to figure out how to get it configured. Is the protection I have adequate? How easily can this be compromised? What steps should I take to lock it down further. Can I limit the connection to SVNSERVE to only come from certain specific IP's... similar to how apache does:

Order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.153.123.12

How Can Secure /tmp /var/tmp In OpenVZ VPS ?

Mar 15, 2007

recently I got a VPS from cheapvps.co.uk and so far so good. Im getting used to the VPS enviroment. I tried to follow several guides about how to secure with noexec and nosuid the /tmp and /var/tmp and it did not work.

in http : / / www . webhostingtalk .com/showthread.php?t=474681&highlight=tmp points it must be done from the hosting. Same is said in http : // kb . swsoft . com/article_130_648_en.html.

I asked the hosting to do it and they told me as I got an Unmanaged VPS they cant do it for me.

Do anyone know how can be done ? I dont want to use tmpfs as it uses main memory.

Secure Sites

Jan 16, 2009

In terms of the secure domain, if I had a secure site and wished to access some information on a web page that was from a NON-SECURE domain or at least duplicate the non secure information on to the secure page, does the user need to click acknowledge buttons to go in and out of the secure areas? Can I copy or transfer information [eg goggle search results] onto the secure page without this necessity?

Secure Uploads

Jun 8, 2009

My requirements are 500MB, 5GB bandwidth, rails and postgres, $5-6 per month. It looks like there are many providers out there that are offer that.

However the only uploading method shared hosters seem to offer - or at least the only method they advertise - is FTP. Coming from a university and sysadmin background, I thought that anything that sends passwords over the wire unencrypted had died long ago (except HTML forms and legacy systems).

Are there any shared hosting services that allow a more secure upload method (e.g. scp, rsync-over-ssh, even webdav-over-ssl)?
