AcuNett, LLC was awarded with the December 2007 Web Host Magazine's Editor's Choice Award. Please see http://www.webhostmagazine.com/ec/award.asp?id=438 for more details on this award, and http://www.webhostmagazine.com/ec/ec_choose.asp for details on the selection process.

All servers come with our Essential Server Setup, free of charge (Normally $85).

Essential Server Setup

• SIM - (System Integrity Monitor) - It reboots services that have failed within 5 minutes.
• SPRI – (System Priority) - Sets priority to current processes being run on your server, decreasing load 10-25%.
• PRM - (Process Resource Monitor) – Monitors all resources used by all processes and if a process is being flooded or causing high load on the server, it is killed.
• BFD - (Brute Force Detection) – Detects brute force connections and automatically enters the offending IPs into the firewall to be blocked.
• LES - (Linux Environment Security) - Enforces root-only permissions on system binaries as well as other restrictions on system programs.
• /tmp & /var/tmp hardening – We harden /tmp and /var/tmp so no malicious bash scripts can be executed from this commonly used directory.
• /dev/shm hardening – Another place hackers tend to upload files to is /dev/shm. This directory is hardened as well.
• Optimize FTP Server for faster connections.
• Optimize MySQL & Apache to reduce load and speed up MySQL connections.
• Secure Apache to reduce the amount of information visible about a server's software making it less vulnerable.
• Host.conf Hardening – Prevents IP spoofing and prevents DNS poisoning.
• CHKRootKIt – Simple script that detects software used by hackers. It scans once a day and emails the client if any suspicious scripts are found.
• Disabling Unused Services – We disable unused services to prevent them from being exploited.
• Firewall Installation - APF (Advanced Policy Firewall) iptables based firewall and anti-dos rulesets.
• TCP/IP Hardening – Prevents DDOS and SYN-Flood attacks.
• Logwatch – Sends a daily report to the client with all activity that has taken place on the server for that day.
• Operating System Optimization – Optimize the OS for faster operation and load reduction.
• Disable Open DNS Recursion - Prevent foreign queries that strain your dns servers and prevent it from being utilized in DNS DDoS attacks.
• Remove unused software – We remove unneeded software to minimize the number of software that could possibly be exploited.
• Remove unused services – Unused services are shutdown and their ports closed.
• Libsafe - Libsafe prevents buffer overflows and scans for exploitable software and notifies the client daily if any is found.
• eAccelerator / Zend Optimizer / Ioncube Installation - eAccelerator dramatically decreases page loading times by caching php scripts. in a compiled state.
• SSH Server Hardening - locks down and hardens the SSH server.
• Nessus Security Scan - We perform a security scan on your server and patch any vulnerabilities found.

Back up on a Plesk Box!

So what is the BW usage on the 100 mbps port?

159 for a quad core plus 4 GB RAM, a HW raid setup and a backup drive is a damn good deal. I'd like to know more ;)

Cheers

1) what will be the rate with cpanel?
2) how many IPs provided?
3) how much extra for 2x750gb?
4) is fully managed/semi managed/unmanaged?
5) adult content allowed?

AcuNett

1) $25/month
2) 5 usable IPs.
3) These special servers are being offered as is. You cannot change the base options, but you can upgrade the RAM and add additional drives.
4) They are unmanaged servers. We provide hardware/network support only. Full management can be purchased for $50/month, or per incident for $30/hour. I do not know what semi-managed is. Personally I don't condone a "semi" managed service.
5) Yes, as long as it is legal in the USA.
