The SFTP allows you to transfer files over SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) using the SSH version. After authentication, a connection is established between your local system and remote server so you can transfer your data files & directories. It also enables you to resume file transfer if any interruption occurs.

• The SFTP protocol runs on a secure channel – no clear-text passwords or data files are transferred without encryption.
• It is therefore much more difficult for an outsider to observe and collect passwords from a system using SSH/SFTP sessions.
• The advantage of using SFTP protocol is that your data remains secure during the entire process of transmission.
• SFTP solutions use high data encryption with public key advanced authentication for file access.
• The authentication involves computer-generated keys – both ‘private’ (known to you) and ‘public’ (accessed by anyone), which work alongside each other.

LAMP stack is a popular open-source web platform commonly used to run dynamic websites and servers. LAMP includes Linux, Apache, Mysql & PHP/Python/Perl and very popular platform for the development and deployment of high-performance web applications. With the help of the LAMP web platform you will get:

• Full control over the server and its software.
• Easily re-compile PHP or Apache for additional modules you require.
• Easily upgrade software versions to the required or latest releases when you need it.
• Better security as only required server daemons is running.
• It can be acquired at a comparatively low price compared to other software architecture bundles since it uses open-source components.
• No extra monthly fees for control panel licenses.
• No need to find a dedicated server provider who provides specific control panel software.

SSH stands for secure shell and it is used for providing encryption for network services like remote login or remote file transfers. It can also be used for a wide range of other services like secure remote command execution, keys and password authentication, access control, and port forwarding, etc. Some of the basic SSH features:

• Secure Remote Command Execution

As we know most E-commerce stores need specific mailing solutions to send emails to their clients, vendors, and other users but its a very hectic task to integrate the mail settings within your E-commerce store.

For this, we need SMTP details of your email hosted on your domain or any other private email service provider which you want to configure within your eCommerce store.

A content Delivery Network is a Distributed Server network that provides the content to an end-user according to the user's geographic location. Whenever someone visits a site, they serve information from the nearest CDN area.

That basically loads the web page faster and offers high performance. We prefer Cloudflare due to the following reasons:

• Cloudflare caches your static file (CSS, JS, Images) and serves it from the nearest location.
• Cloudflare provides the best CDN solution which helps you to manage your DNS entries and protect your web application from various web attacks.
• Cloudflare provides a WAF(Web Application Firewall) to protect your application from daily hacking attacks.

Generally specifying how long web browsers should keep images, CSS and JS stored locally means you can leverage your browser's cache. Thus the user's browser will download fewer data while navigating through your pages, which will improve your website's loading speed.

You can implement leverage browser caching for Apache servers also by adding a small snippet to the .htaccess file. Advantages of Leverage Browser Caching:

• Speed up your website because static files will serve from your browser after the first request for the same content.
• Decreases HTTP request
• Reduce Server Load
• Saves Bandwidth

Gzip is another form of compression that compresses server-level web pages, CSS, and JavaScript before they are forwarded to the browser. By enabling this, the performance optimization of the website is simple to incorporate and can make a significant difference. Benefits of Gzip Compression:

• Gzip compression reduces the size of pages and style sheets by up to 70%
• Reduce Load Time
• Decrease Bandwidth usage

Because data is the heart of the enterprise, it’s crucial for you to protect it. And to protect your organization’s data, you need to implement a data backup and recovery plan for all the servers. You can back up the data on your EBS volumes by simply creating a snapshot of it.

EBS Active snapshots contain all of the information needed to restore your data (from the time the snapshot was taken) to a new EBS volume. Key Features of AWS EBS snapshots for data backup:

• Automated Backups
• Point-in-time recovery
• Easy Migration
• Disaster recovery
• Testing & Development

Swap is a storage space utilized when the capacity of the actual RAM is completely used. The main purpose of swap space is to substitute RAM memory with disk space when the current RAM is full and needs additional space. Swap space is very beneficial when your server runs out of memory.

• If you don’t have enough memory and no swap space, this will often cause failure to allocate memory for requests needing more memory pages.
• The recommended swap size for the initial setup is 2 Gb.

In DNS Mapping, we will provide you with the feature to map your website with your existing domain. DNS Mapping will help you and your customers to access your server easily and efficiently without knowing the IP of your existing server. We have to do multiple entries in DNS Management Console like the mentioned below:

• A record - To map your domain name with your server's public IP address.
• Cname Entry - To map your existing domain with your server cname.
• MX Entry - To map your existing mail server with your domain.
• Nameserver Entry - To integrate with CDN or Firewall, etc.

PhpMyAdmin is one of the most popular applications for MySQL database management. It is a free tool written in PHP. Through this software you can create, alter, drop, delete, import, and export MySQL database tables.

You can run MySQL queries, optimize, repair, and check tables, change collation, and execute other database management commands. Basic features of PhpMyAdmin:

• User-friendly web interface.
• Support for most MySQL functions like browse, drop, create, copy and alter databases, tables, views, fields, and indexes, execute MySQL queries, manage stored procedures and functions.
• Import data from CSV and SQL files.
• Export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF, ISO/IEC 26300- OpenDocument Text and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LATEX, and others.
• Searching globally in a database or a subset of it.
• Web-Based which means you can access it from any computer. Local resources aren’t used when connecting.

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. It is a transport layer protocol that is used to establish a secure connection between server and client. When you visit an SSL integrated website the connection between your browser and the website is secure.

The transmitted data are all in encrypted form. Online transactions, secure logins, establishing a secure session, secure data transfer & secure database connection, and more are some of the reasons why SSL integration is needed. We will help you to integrate your website with SSL in two ways which are as follows-:

• Installing your pre-existing SSL certificates on your server.
• Integrating SSL on your website with the Help of Cloudflare.

Amazon Elasticache works as an in-memory data store and cache to support the most demanding applications requiring sub-millisecond response times using Redis. Amazon ElastiCache offers fully managed Redis for your most demanding applications that require sub-millisecond response times.

• Redis for Cache: Redis server can be used to cache the database resulting in the exploitation of fewer database resources and providing a tunable persistent cache. As all data in Redis is stored in RAM, delivering the fastest possible access times to the data for both read and write requests results in optimized performance.
• Redis for Session: We will also use Redis to store user sessions. Due to its in-memory data structure as well as data persistent nature, Redis is a perfect choice for this use case.

Monitoring user activities on a remote server could be a cumbersome task.

We provide full activity monitoring on your server like login alerts, user activities over an SSH connection, user activities over SFTP connection, the listing of IP addresses from where logins have been attempted, the listing of failed login records, and files modified on the server through the mail.

These reports will help you to keep your server safe by taking quick actions over malicious IPs and unwanted modifications.

Server Resources like CPU, RAM, Disk Space, Load Average, etc. are very critical components for any kind of Server either its web server or database server because they are the basic components for the execution and processing.

If there will be an issue with the server resources it will directly affect the performance and efficiency of your application.

We provide a special add-on script in your Linux Server which helps you to detect the hacking attacks on your application end. Most of the firewalls either work on Port or on IP address and protect the Network traffic accordingly but Our script detects all the modifications throughout the code of your application and notifies the concerned person at the right time.
