Must-Have Tools for Shared Hosting Provider

Hi Guys,

May i know what are the must-have tools for shared hosting provider? Just for your information, i am running cPanel and would like to know what are the must-have tools for monitoring purposes?

Example, which accounts are abusing processor, bandwidth, sending spams in high-volume and etc? Is there any all-in-one-tools for monitoring resources on shared hosting environment?

Kindly enlighten and thanks for all feedback.

  • Do you have root access to your server?

  • Something like 1H software (don't know more about it and function)

  • You can use cloudlinux..

    I don't think anyone who has shared hosting has root access to their server

    Depends if the seller owns the server or is a reseller.

    I sell shared hosting and I do have root access.

    I use PRTG to monitor.

    thanks for your suggestion, i did look into betterlinux and cloudlinux before this, both are definitely good, but i was hoping there is some opensource projecy that will do the job for free. ;)

    Prtg look familiar, was it a charting kind of monitoring? let me search around.. just woke up from my sweet dream heh

    PRTG is expensive and Server is only running on Windows, same goes for the probes that you install. It can monitor almost everything.

  • For WHM/cPanel review the resources below for possible ideas and methods to help you investigate system resource usage:

    I often check the daily process log within WHM/cPanel.

    Home » Server Status » Daily Process Log

    User Domain % CPU % MEM ▴ MySQL Processes

    mysql 0.05 5.30 0.0

    user1 your-web-site.com 0.30 0.59 0.0

    In my opinion, cPanel/WHM are great as they are but are better with the following;

    Account DNS Check - http://urlsl.im/bDyVm

    Secondary MX - http://urlsl.im/RxSPg

    WatchMySQL - http://urlsl.im/FcrCu

    Softaculous - http://urlsl.im/OnreM

    All three are paid plugins but they will help ensure things run smoothly. The MX plugin does require you have a second server running cPanel DNS only to be able to really do it's function as a backup mail exchanger but presumably if you have your own dedicated server you're using you're own nameservers and will hopefully have a second server you're using for backup DNS.
