Securing Your SmartMachine
SmartMachines are very secure. However, you can take steps to ensure SmartMachine security even further.
Managing Your SmartMachine
The administration portal is referred to as Virtualmin. Virtualmin is a server configuration tool with a web-based GUI that is pre-installed on SmartMachines provisioned from the SmartMachine Plus image. It runs as its own process and includes its own web server. If you provisions a SmartMachine through the SmartMachine Plus image, you can use Virtualmin to setup your domains.
