Managed around twenty virtual web hosting servers running RedHat Linux 7.x and Apache and containing several hundred accounts each. Administrative duties included new system installs, migrating accounts between servers, monitoring server loads and resource usage, and making recommendations to management regarding new server purchases. All administration was done remotely; the servers were physically located in Texas. The accounts were managed using cPanel on about half of the servers, and HSphere on the rest. One of the servers was running FreeBSD 4, for which I did a custom build of the kernel.
In addition to system administration, I developed several perl scripts to automate certain account management functions and for parts of the company's web site, several of which interfaced with the company's MySQL database and the HSphere PostgreSQL database. Also provided technical support for hosted accounts and support for 1st-level support agents outsourced from India, plus miscellaneous office work as assigned by management.
