When I first started my site, I was naive and figured I would never have to touch the server and all I would have to do was tinker with vbulletin. Haha! The site grew rather quickly and we got thrown onto our own dedicated server within a couple of months. I quickly learned how to do some things on the server (restarted apache or mysql, do minor things in webmin, watch server loads and change the configuration files), but just recently we outgrew that server and had to move to a two server configuration (one for apache/php and the other for mysql). I did not feel up to the task and luckily the host suggested I use AdminGeekZ to install all the necessary applications and move us to the new server. Boy am I ever glad that I did that! So, now I will use them to do any upgrades for the server and security measures for our server and go back to just tinkering with vbulletin.
