What is ServerAvatar?​

ServerAvatar is an automated cloud management system that helps you manage and monitor cloud servers using a simple and efficient web application. ServerAvatar works with the following types of servers:

  1. Traditional VPS (Virtual Private Server)
  2. Traditional Dedicated servers
  3. Cloud Instances (VM instances, Droplets, EC2, etc)
  4. Dedicated Cloud Instances
  5. Bare Metal Servers

ServerAvatar works with any VPS having a public IP address and a supported operating system. It is not limited to a specific set of cloud platforms, so feel free to manage a server from your favorite service provider.

How it works?​

ServerAvatar provides an easy-to-understand user interface.

Instead of using the command line interface, you can perform actions with clicks and simple options. ServerAvatar will instantly perform the desired action on your server and return the appropriate response.

ServerAvatar can help you perform all the actions from initially configuring your server to monitoring sites on your server. Here is how it works:

As you can already understand, It keeps you away from the command line interface and performs the majority of the actions in seconds without any errors!

The initial server configuration takes about 5 minutes. During the initial configuration, ServerAvatar will install and configure:

  • Web Server
  • PHP-FPM (All versions, from 7.2 to 8.3)
  • MySQL
  • Git
  • Composer
  • Redis
  • SWAP Memory
  • Supervisor
  • Other important Services

While ServerAvatar is setting up your server, you just have to sit back and relax. You don't need to worry about manually editing any configuration file on the server. Everything is managed by ServerAvatar. Once the server is ready, you can create multiple sites on a single server, each with its own PHP version and settings.

Features​

Server management and monitoring are not easy if done manually. Fortunately, you can perform almost any task on the server with the help of ServerAvatar.

ServerAvatar also performs tasks quickly and efficiently. How Quickly? As an expert, it would take around 10 minutes for me to create/configure a dedicated user, a PHP pool, a Virtual host, directories and files, and permissions to finally take an application live! ServerAvatar does that for you in 15 seconds.

In simple terms, ServerAvatar will save a lot of time for you when it comes to cloud management.

You have all the essential features to host a huge site or multiple sites on a single server.
