I’ve been working on and off now on the CloudPanel api for the 1and1 API in order to build up my VB.Net, PHP, and Xojo/Realbasic wrappers. Recently, for DIYServer.guide I’ve started working on creating a cloudpanel of my own to fully utilize the PHP wrapper. The end goal is to […]

As previously mentioned in: https://timgarrity.me/1and1-cloud-server-vb-net-api-status-update/ I’ve started to make some headway on developing the NGCS .Net Wrapper created in VB.net. Currently it ships with not just the wrapper but a frontend application that I’m designing to mimic the layout and functionality of the 1and1 CloudPanel. Today I just changed up […]
So it’s been a slow progress as I’ve been managing the creation of my sites, updating the blogs, and trying to acquire the needed resources to code working examples for the Cloud Servers. Recently I’ve pushed a major overhaul for how the NGCS_Wrapper will end up looking, mimicking the style […]
With the inclusion of 1&1’s VMWare-based cloud servers, comes the ability to finally be able to install our OSes directly using the OS ISO rather than 1and1.com’s pre-created image.

Continued from Part 3 of the Lock It Down series By now, we should have both of our servers set up to communicate to each other via the Private Network. Our DBServer is on 10.0.2.0/24 and the Webservers are on 10.0.1.0/24, so now we’re left with installing our Database Server […]
Continuation of the Lock it down series. The network configuration is going to be a tricky thing for someone if they’re not use to setting up network interfaces, but knowing how to is the most important thing you can know when dealing with virtual servers like these when you start looking at Cloning, […]
Continuation of Part 1 Intro Summary from the Lock it down series So we’ve laid out the basic fundamentals of what we’re trying to achieve: “Create a Webserver that’s separate from it’s Database, gear it to be scalable, and lock it down as much as possible yet fully functioning. Now, this isn’t a webserver setup […]
Part 1 of the Lock It Down series. Go to Part 2 So I’ve decided to start a tutorial of sorts that will focus on a number of aspects or goals. 1&1’s NGCS, like most cloud server providers, gives us customers the ability to create an infrastructure that meets our every […]
