Hack Recovery

If you believe your server has been compromised or would just like a check over we can perform this task to a perfection for you. Our compromise recovery package will provide the ideal solution to have the issue rectified quickly and with as little impact as possible.

We can assist you in very short time spans with hack recovery using several methods we have developed over the years. Cleaning up the aftermath like most people do is not what we're about. With each hack recovery we attempt to determine the cause of the problem, provide you with options, execute fixes and then clean up. Bandaid fixes never work so don't get conned into using them!

Our package also covers root compromises, while we do in fact always recommend a reinstall we understand that is not always immediately possible and will ensure that we secure your server of any backdoors as well as return all binaries back into a working state.

$60/hour
Fixed fees available for non root compromises.

To discuss a hack recovery solution simply Contact Us (http://www.AdminGeekZ.com/contact_us) and a sales representative will get back to you as quickly as possible with a quote.

Highly Recommended! They do a great job, i've worked with them before.

One of the best third party administration teams i have worked with

Scott has been administrating my server for months now, nothing but quality dependable service.

I first hired AdminGeekZ, on the recommendation of my host, to upgrade mysql, php, and apache on my server, as well as do some optimization on the newly upgraded system. They were very professional about doing exactly what I wanted and answering any questions I had regarding these upgrades.

I then hired them to do a security audit on the server (the Linux Bundle listed above). They did this right away for me and, once again, answered any questions I had about it. I'm very big on asking questions, so this was very important to me.

When we move servers in a few months, I will again hired them to check over my server. These guys are very competant at what they do and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs some work done on their server.

I would definitely recommend AdminGeekz as well. I have had Scott help me out with some Apache / MySQL optimization and few other things and I can only say that he's a PRO. :-)

Scott has saved me more than once. His service has been the glue thats kept everything together in the last couple of months with this one project I took on - was a little over my head but these guys took care of me and everything went off without a hitch.

I was using another admin service that I thought was doing a good job. Then about a month ago, my server was "rooted" by someone who changed all the home pages of each website on our server and caused other problems. I couldn't get the admin service quickly to help quickly and was desparate to get help before the intruder did anymore damage.

Scott volunteered to look into it even though he didn't know me and I wasn't using his service.

He found many security problems, corrected the ones he could on the server and then helped me move to a new server.

Scott really saved me.

Fortunately the damage wasn't any worse.

I changed to AdminGeekz to admin my server and feel much more secure now as Scott did a lot of hardening of my new server that I thought my old service was going to do but didn't.

I highly recommend them.

AdminGeekZ have been to my aid several times from the basic trouble shooting to data recovery to server security. The friendly staff running it have been providing me with support since I entered the industry.

I'd urge anyone who has a "problem" no matter how big or small it is to drop them a line. I highly doubt that they won't be able to fix it or provide assistance. Never met a more up to front and honest bunch.

yup yup, can't say anything bad about scott, always willing to help and do some patching up on my servers, completely solved my download problem on my site! great work. highly reccomend

Joe C

Thanks to Scott's quick response and excellent customer service I was able to get my server up and running after some issues with a exploit allowing someone to use my server to phis.
Scott worked with my provider to get this issue resolved quickly. He keep in touch with me through out the whole processes.
Simple awesome service..
A++

I will be using him in the future and I recommend anyone for his service!

I don't mean to be a pain, but half of the testimonials on your website (http://www.admingeekz.com/testimonials.php) don't actually have valid/working sites :-((

Theres 2 there that do not appear to work , however we do hundreds of one time work and have absoustely no control over whether they keep their website or not. I do see how it that will look and they will be replaced with more updated ones.

We've heard nothing but good things from our clients about AdminGeekz.

I am interested in your services. Can you still offer the discount?

Thanks...

Hello,

You can contact sales@admingeekz.com for these questions, however yes the offer is still valid and will be valid until the end of this sticky(which is around the middle of this year).

Just paid and received service.

Extra fast service. Very professionnal work. Thank you.

We've heard nothing but good things about Scott and his organization. He helped a client of ours a few months back and they did a spectacular job

Scott is a top notch professional. I recently hired an anonymous company to setup qmail filters for a server I use, and they completely messed up qmail. The mailserver was down for 1 1/2 days, and caused a large amount of money loss.

Scott came in and in 2 hours completely fixed qmail and re-setup the filters. He did an excellent job, and kept me updated just about every 10 minutes. I would definitely recommend AdminGeekz services.

I contacted them about 9 hours ago, got a reply to my sales inquiry about 3 hours later and have heard nothing back yet since my immediate reply to them. I realize sales in not support, but I can say I am not happy so far. I contacted them first based on the great feedback here.

dutton , Most -if not all- feedbacks here are based on the support AdminGeekz/Scott provides which is the most important of course. I would strongly recommend him as he is the most professional guy I've ever dealt with, so just wait and you should recieve a response back on your sales ticket shortly I believe :)

Scott's probably busy. I've had a great experience with him in the past and unfortunately on my last job he wasn't available. I guess there're certain type of projects he no longer has time for.

I'd much rather have someone tell me they can't/won't do something than say yes they can do it and then not deliver, which is the situation I'm in right now :p

AdminGeekz is the best server admin company there is, bar none. They setup an image server for me media [dot] techeblog [dot] com/images/logo1.gif from start to finish in just 30 minutes, plus Scott patched up security/OS holes that were missed by 2 previous server admin companies advertised here on WHT. Highly recommended

Same here. Scott was very helpful and knowledgeable from minute 1.
I'm running servers for 8 years now and have experiences from both sides...worked with several companies advertised here...Scott gave an exceptional service. Hope he stays for good. I'd recommend to anyone...and no I'm not a sales person or affiliate :)

Highly recommended! :agree:

Every body recommended you so I send you a request by email.

Thanks

It's really strange !

I send you an order and no comment until now !

I send you private message and no replay until now !

What is the problem ?

I would appreciate if you stated facts,

You opened a sales ticket,

Posted on 22 Apr 2007 01:01 PM

You recieved a response in 4 minutes, for that matter we do not guarentee 24/7 sales or support and it can take up to 24 hours for a response however most take at max a few hours. Now I fail to see why you posted a FALSE statement and you can go elsewhere in future.

Scott is a number one professional! He is a real Level 3 Admin. He allways works hard and fix problems.

He saved me and my server from a really bad situation. His e-mail address is in my emergency mail list. If i have a problem,i will contact him again.

He saved me also and restored my server after attack. Highly recommended!

I can add to the positive comments on this forum. If you need a sys admin then Scott and the AdminGeekz team are the professionals you must have working for you.

They are very knowledgeable quick and one of the few admin's I've worked with who can be relied to do the work quickly and completely the first time. Once its fixed it stays fixed...

We'd had a few random issues over the course of many days but none took Scott longer than an hour to resolve. One of them was a drive failure (luckily it was mirrored) that corrupted the entire Apache and Plesk configuration. The server was back online in 40 minutes.

I can give more examples but suffice it to say that AdminGeekz are exceptional!

I don't mean to jump on the AdminGeekZ bandwagon.. but they do an exceptional job! I would and have recommended them to several people. Very professional, and the job gets done.. period.

Just worked with Scott... as everyone has said, he and his company do amazing work. They are great to work with and extremely knowledgeable. Will do business with them again.

i have vps and i want take this plan Security Audit/Linux Bundle
i well give to the vps and thecpanel its instal
but i want to uprdage him and i have some folders workied with safe mode off
is thats ok for you

Is admingeekz.com a company managed by 1 person only (Scott) or you have also several techs working with you ? On your site, your corporate and staff information is really missing.

Also do you provide 24/7 support including during holidays ?

Thank you

As far as I know Admingeekz does not officially offer 24/7 support and operates with reduced staff during holidays.

All I need is my server monitored and not really any admin work, just to prevent hacks and injections and things. Do I still have to pay the $300 per month?

This thread is not monitored which is why we have a sales contact, please use that instead.

We do not offer any server monitoring only packages.

How good is plesk, is really better then cpanel?

How good is plesk, is really better then cpanel?

I am not sure why this was posted to our sticky thread however the choice of control panel is entirely your choice. I am sure there are many fans of both and both have their advantages.

Hey are you the guys 911Steve migrated his clients? then you must be good :D

We have tried many System Administration to work for Initial Hardening Security Audit . just we have read good testimonials .

we will try your service :) we sent an Order :).


Thanks

Scott is definitely one of the best. Highly recommended.

FYI - This thread is quite old and the original pricing is no longer valid.

I wanted to add that I recently used AdminGeekz for some work and I am completely satisfied. Responses were quick and work was completed in the same day with thorough explanations of everything. :agree:
