Dedicated Server management is hard enough. In most cases, however, there are a few easy things you can do to speed up your server. There are a few processes that are running that can be easily de-activated to increase the system resources on your server.
The Five Minute Guide
Service Manager
Log in to your WHM.
To remove any of these services log into WHM & go to Service Configuration > Service Manager in the left hand menu.
- Clamd: This is a virus scanning service that is very greedy with system resources. It is often safe to remove.
- Entropy Chat: Disable this.
Once these two things are disabled, it’s time to go to the next step in the guide.
Tweak Settings
Go to Server Configuration>Tweak Settings.
- Make sure default catch-all mail address is set to FAIL.
- Disable Mailmain
- Uncheck Analog Stats and Webalizer.
- Enable the “Delete Each Somain’s Access Logs After Stats Run.”
That’s it! Be sure to leave a comment on how well these worked for you. You may also be interested in our article on optimizing MySQL for dedicated server/VPS.
