vServer / Dedicated Server Management

A key feature of today's world is two-factor authentication: in order to perform certain actions within the server panel, it is necessary to set up 2FA after logging in. Our web interface supports all common two-factor authentication methods.

All functions within server administration that could lead to data manipulation or assign new rights are protected by 2FA, meaning that even performing a new installation requires two-factor authentication. This offers our customers additional protection against third-party interference.

In order to guarantee our customers maximum security and traceability, we keep a comprehensive access log for our server management. IP information is automatically deleted after a certain retention period in accordance with GDPR regulations.

The action log can be used to trace whether there has been any unauthorized access during a defined period and what actions were performed.

The entire server panel is structured according to an admin-reseller-end customer structure. You can switch between the levels as needed, for example, to check for missing customer rights. In addition, end customers have the option of creating co-users to give friends or administrators limited access to certain server management functions, for example.

The assigned rights are inherited. An end customer or co-user cannot therefore be granted more rights than a reseller. In addition, you can create rights sets to make it easier to create new users.

Upon request, we can provide resellers with server management for IP projects as a white label version. This allows you to customize the color scheme, add your own logo, edit the title tag, store DNS zones, and define your own URL.

It is also possible to completely customize the email templates for the automatic sending of access data and system information.

For our server management, we offer a powerful REST API that can be activated upon request. This interface enables seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures and allows for automated control and monitoring of your servers. Standardized HTTP methods can be used to control all central functions such as configuration, status queries, traffic evaluation, and rDNS. The API is well documented and supports secure communication, so that individual requirements can be implemented without any problems.

A core element of server management is our server installer. This guides the user through the installation process either fully automatically or allows manual installation via SSH/VNC access and ISO image.

In addition to a wide range of operating systems, we also support a variety of software-based RAID modes, such as:

• Software RAID in various RAID levels: 0, 1, 5, 6, 10
• ZFS RAID in various RAID levels: Striped, Mirror, RAIDZ1, RAIDZ2, RAIDZ3

To ensure that your servers' IPMI management consoles are not vulnerable to attacks on the publicly accessible Internet, our customers using Supermicro, Gigabyte, and Asrock Rack IPMI systems have access to an IPMI proxy. Access to the IPMI is provided via a one-time URL. The server panel generates a temporary, public URL for accessing the IPMI KVM console. The actual IPMI interface is protected in a separate, internal network segment. An extra VPN is therefore not required to access the IPMI.

The one-time URL expires after a certain period of time, but can be regenerated at any time.

Every IPMI management web interface provides detailed information about the “health status” of a server. This IPMI information, such as CPU temperature, disk temperature, or power consumption of the power supplies, is clearly displayed on our server panel and can be accessed with just a few clicks.

Among other things, this feature helps you quickly identify possible hardware-related causes of errors during diagnostics.

In the IP-Projects server panel, you have the option of configuring automatic DDoS notifications. Various notification options are available:

• Email notification
• Your own webhook
• Discord webhook
• Mattermost webhook
• Slack webhook
• Telegram bot

The notification function automatically informs you about ongoing attacks on your server systems for the topics you have configured.

Attack statistics integrated into the server panel provide you with information about current attacks/attack targets as well as past attacks on your server systems.

If attacks are not filtered properly, our administrators can also obtain in-depth information about attacks after the fact and make any necessary filter adjustments.

The DDoS Protection solution from IP-Projects works with so-called DDoS zones. Each of these filter zones contains specific filter templates that are used to filter traffic in the event of an attack or on a permanent basis. It is therefore important not to operate multiple services per IP address in order to be able to assign the IP address to a specific filter zone. Assigning a specific filter zone allows the filter appliance to filter traffic as accurately as possible in the event of an attack.
