Ok so i've got a nice little game site and some folks want to start hosting their
websites on my machine. I let a few here and a couple there and now my machine has
more folks on it doing more things than I've got a handle on. Yes I did a bad thing.
Most of them are there because of the PHP and mysql which I've setup and let them use.
so on and so forth.
What I need now is some help getting this situation under control. I know this is not
a unix admin forum but I've seen several posts from folks with hosting experience. I
don't charge any money for folks to use my server and I don't want to start. If anyone
has some experience setting up a system to host websites (many virtual domains) and is
willing to spend a little time giving me some pointers on how to lock down a system
while still allowing folks the ability to, for the most part, painlessly maintain
their website, I would be very much in that person's debt. Please email me privately
if you are willing to help.
thanks much,
Michael Roark
p.s. if there is a faq/tutorial/set of guidelines out there on the web feel free to
just send me a link and say RTFM. I've not found anything yet.
