1 & 1 offers mobile monitoring for servers and VPS Root

1 & 1 has presented Smartphone Apps for monitoring the rented VPS or Dedicated Server. Customers of web hosting providers can be tracked so that the status of the rented server can be known anytime and anywhere and they will be informed in case of failure. For many people, the smartphone has become a daily companion. There are many applications available for Android, iPhone, or other smartphones are many applications available so that the cell phone can be extended to other important functions.

Mobile server monitoring for Smartphones. 1 & 1 is now available for the mobile monitoring of customer dedicated servers rented presented Apps. Customers with rented root server,a VPS hosting server or a Dynamic Cloud can now have  up-to-date information about your own server any time via a smartphone In addition to the current state, it can be targeted to tell the status of the server and individual services also can be monitored. Thus, ay any time you can verify that the server is working.

Currently the service is limited to customers who have chosen a root or rent vServer. Managed Server cannot be monitored by Apps so far. However, they cannot have their own services installed and the accessibility of the server is the responsibility of 1 & 1. SSH (Secure Shell) is one of the most important tools on a dedicated server. It gives you remote access to your server’s command line, making it easy to take advantage of powerful tools only your server’s shell can offer.

There are numerous ways to connect via SSH, since you can use it to tunnel other protocols, but not all operating systems approach it the exact same way. This is a basic guide to help you connect from any computer or device. Since desktop environments vary widely for Linux distributions, your terminal may have any of a variety of names: Gnome Terminal, Konsole, XFCE Terminal, or even Xterm. Start the one you can find, usually it is in the “System” or “Utilities” menu, and type the following to connect.


Being a Unix-like operating system, it gives MAC OS X the advantage of having several server tools built right into it. Therefore, you do not need any extra software to connect to your server’s shell. First, open Finder. Then, open the “Utilities” folder. Next, double-click “Terminal.”.This will open the only tool you need to manage your server. Use the normal SSH command to connect. Monitoring a server can be a full-time job in itself, especially if your dedicated servers hosts multiple websites. In Apache HTTP Server, each website is setup as a virtual host with its own set of logs. To monitor each independently is impossible when you have multiple sites.

Instead, some system administrators just monitor the main Apache logs and hope for the best. If this makes you a little uneasy, there is a way to get more in-depth monitoring of your Apache activity. It is called mod_status. With it you can have real-time monitoring of your web server’s activities, and many Linux distributions include it as part of the default installation.

Among the things mod_status monitors are: number of worker serving requests, the number of idle workers, status of each worker, the tasks they are performing, and total bytes served, total bytes accessed and served, server restart times and the length of time it has been running, average requests per second, bytes served per second, and average bytes per request, CPU usage for each worker and total Apache CPU usage, list of current hosts and requests being processed.

The monitoring can be activated individually for each rented server. The application can be consulted via all enabled servers. For each separate server, the monitoring of individual services is added. There is not a single service or an entire server that can’t be reached; the customer will be through a red traffic light signals. Upon request, the customer can be notified directly in case of failure. Both the server status and the availability of services, a profile over the last 7 days is shown, so that downtime can be detected reliably. The apps are available for free for mobile devices with Android 1.6 or higher, the current iPhone and Nokia phones with Symbian S60 5th Edition. 1 & 1 will soon also be a web portal with additional features provide so that a smartphone without use or with a PC to be possible.
