Recently I had a task in which I had to create dkim keys for a massive amount of sites for a server. Since, I haven’t made a post in awhile, I figured I might share my helper script with the world. This script has been made with opendkim in mind, mostly because that is what was used on the server where I had to implement this. In some server setups, it would be highly probable that another mean is used to establish dkim keys, for those guys… I’m sorry, this is not the article for you. Continue reading

List of Website Builder Scripts
Ever notice how some major sites use custom website builders? By this I mean, point click, you got a website! And I’m not talking CMS. This post is a tribute to that to help other hosting companies be able to offer their own variant of a website builder for their customers. This post is going to be rather small and grow as I find more out there. Commercial RVSiteBuilder - Popular and works with cpanel & directadmin. Lifeyo - Not sure if this is the best option to go. Seems to be more of a hosted platform. Though listing it as the former makers of Drag’n’Drop recommend this now. Doodlekit - Another hosted site builder. Again, I don’t see this really being a good option for… Continue reading
The Server Control Panel
Here’s a follow up from the previous post I made couple months ago here. I’m not sure if there is a better way, but I’m thinking perhaps the best way to stay ontop of configuration file changes is using something like mmonit. Using this we would monitor when files actually change to reload a mapped out configuration into the sql database for easy access & ease of manipulation in the database. Otherwise, we could do something directly like how virtualmin/webmin works, in that we would reparse configuration files every time and save on demand. The biggest problem I see with this, is well, I’m sure not if PHP will really be the best choice for parsing configuration files every single time when pages related to… Continue reading
Video Training Websites
There are numerous video training websites, probably the best known is lynda.com. But what are the other, possibly lower cost alternatives? This post, I’m just going to simply explore all the various options out there. Keep in mind also, I have not used all of these video training websites but I am going to do my best to explore the collective opinion of others on the net the pros and cons of each. Paid Alternatives TeamTreeHouse Treehouse isn’t necessarily competitive in price in comparison to Lynda, being their plans are either $25 and $50 a month. However, they boast their selves on a better learning experience. When it comes to code, they have a “code challenge engine”, which you can actually proven our skills once… Continue reading
Call for New Server Configuration Platform
Everyday I take a look at the tools I have for server configuration, and everyday I realize I have less & less of what I really want. I’ve used many server configuration programs over the day, from Plesk, to Cpanel, to ispconfig, webmin, virtualmin, and many many more. Well, when it comes down to it, probably the best option out there that I’ve encountered so far is a cross somewhere between cpanel & virtualmin. I use cpanel for my production servers where I sell shared hosting, and then I use ISPConfig these days for my own personal servers. Now, before you read this and go pish posh, who needs graphical GUI’s for server administration. Well, I understand where your coming from, which if I didn’t… Continue reading
