cPanel/WHM migration?

[subnet_rx]

Our company has a web server that is setup so that to create a new section on the site for a department, a admin manually goes in now and adds a folder and makes a new user:group for that folder. This system worked fine (sort of) till we got a web team that now has to access all of these different folders to edit files. I spend half of my day changing ownership of files to me, then back to the original owner again. We would like to move to a cPanel/WHM setup so that account creation, dns entries, database creation, and stats can all be viewed/controlled through a web interface. This would take some of the daily responsibilities out of the admins hands and give it to the web team. Two questions:

1. Is it feasible to think that we can move all of this into a cPanel/WHM controlled setup?

2. Are there companies that will set up a secure web server for you, because I doubt we have the expertise in house. Our people know RedHat/Oracle, but the web server is something that has been pieced together over the years by different people who knew a little about Apache/MySQL.

Yes, it is feasible to migrate your accounts to a cPanel powered server.

2. Are there companies that will set up a secure web server for you

Do you mean securing and hardening your server?

Do you mean securing and hardening your server?

Yes, as well as, general setup. For instance, even though I know how to compile AWStats on a monthly basis, I have yet to do it on a daily basis. Every web host I have been with does this, and has many other "standard" options in cPanel. This is what I would like our web server to have.

You won't need to compile Awstats, manually when you get a cPanel server. That, and many more, will be done automatically for you. For more information about the cPanel, go to: http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/index.htm
