Bankoi WebHost Panel users do not
need to know Unix or Linux or be a programmer in order to
use Bankoi WebHost Panel. Also, the Bankoi WebHost Panel
software is easy to install. Bankoi WebHost Panel must be
installed on a clean server in one dedicated host. The
installation procedure is semi-automated, informing you of
system changes and your progress at each step. There are no
complex commands to learn and no technical information to
know.
As soon as Bankoi WebHost Panel is
installed, both administrators and clients are ready to
manage the system. Bankoi WebHost Panel provides great
flexibility to the user, enabling him/her to remotely access
and administer servers at anytime. The default settings
provided for opening accounts and domains can be changed
with the click of a button. With Bankoi WebHost Panel, each
client can create his/her own settings and make his/her own
adjustments.
Bankoi WebHost Panel uses extensive
security measures to assure your system of the highest
possible integrity and protection. It should be noted
however that this is limited to Bankoi WebHost Panel and the
software it installs. The security of the server operating
system is considered the responsibility of the system
administrator and is not part of the Bankoi WebHost Panel
installation and/or setup:
- Bankoi WebHost Panel uses the
secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocol. All documents and
communications between users and the server are fully
encrypted and secure.
- Bankoi WebHost Panel provides
a free self-signed secure socket layer (SSL) certificate
that enables secure transactions between a remote user
and Bankoi WebHost Panel. However, this certificate is
not from an "official" authority and will not be
recognized by the web browser as being valid for the
login URL, which results in warning messages. If you
wish to use a real SSL certificate for the Control Panel
you can. Certificates can be purchased directly through
the Bankoi WebHost Panel control panel or by contacting
a certificate-signing authority directly.
- When creating an FTP account
on the server, the login shell is set to /bin/false,
preventing any Telnet-like programs from accessing the
account. All newly activated shell accounts are
sandboxed to the domains home directory.
- When creating physical hosting
with PHP support, you are unable to start an external
program from the PHP script. It is impossible to read or
write files above the user's home directory.
- Bankoi WebHost Panel uses the
Suexec feature of the Apache web server for secure CGI
operation.
- Bankoi WebHost Panel uses the
chroot feature on the FTP server, preventing clients
from changing their home directories to another
directory. Bankoi WebHost Panel applies a chroot to the
named process to eliminate any possibility of gaining
system access through named.
- Bankoi WebHost Panel employs
the Qmail mail system and ProFTPd ftp system both of
which maintain the highest security standards in their
respective fields of service.
- There is a possibility of
entering different IP-addresses for A domain record and
domain hosting address (which is added into Apache
configuration file) to ensure that the server functions
properly behind the firewall.
- Bankoi WebHost Panel provides
additional security measures, allowing the administrator
to restrict control panel access from certain IP
addresses.
