- Configure FTP access, cron jobs, and database management for end-users.
- Security & Performance Optimization:
- Implement advanced security measures, including firewall configuration (e.G., CSF/LFD), brute-force protection (e.G., Fail2Ban), and regular security updates for all server components.
- Optimize server performance for high traffic, including web server tuning, PHP optimization, and database caching strategies.
- Configure automated daily/weekly backups for all DirectAdmin accounts (files, databases, emails).
- Ensure proper resource limits and isolation for hosted accounts.
- Migration & Documentation (if applicable):
- If required, perform seamless migration of existing websites and data from a previous hosting environment to the new DirectAdmin setup with minimal downtime.
- Provide comprehensive documentation of the entire DirectAdmin setup, server configurations, security measures, and optimization techniques.
- Offer a brief training session or handover notes for our internal team on daily management and troubleshooting.
- Required Qualifications:
- Minimum 4+ years of extensive hands-on experience with DirectAdmin installation, configuration, optimization, and troubleshooting in a production environment.
- Strong proficiency in Linux server administration (CentOS, AlmaLinux, Ubuntu) and command-line operations.
- In-depth knowledge of web server technologies (Apache, Nginx), PHP versions and extensions, and database systems (MySQL/MariaDB).
- Solid understanding of email server components (Exim, Dovecot) and DNS management.
- Proven experience in server security hardening, including firewall management and intrusion prevention.
- Demonstrated ability to optimize server performance for web hosting environments.
