Posted on November 18th, 2010An RVSkin is multi-theme, multilingual advanced skin management application for servers running the cPanel program. This piece of software helps differentiate hosting services including less need for support which results in much lower operating costs. The most recent version now includes related subjects during a search, auto detection of screen resolution, the ability to disable the primary FTP access, sub menus and a hide menu option.
RVSkin is a fairly simple installation onto the cPanel server. To install an RVSkin to cPanel there are four easy steps you must follow. These include:
- SSH to the server
- Set configurations
- Change cPanel to RVSkin themes
First, you must SSH to the registered server after purchasing the license of the RVSkin. Next, wait a few minutes for the RVSkin to fully install and display a prompt. The installation will automatically create an RVAdmin account which will be used later in conjunction with the configuration manager.
The next step is to set the global configuration, default language, tweak setting, reseller control, top links, body links, help and tutorial links. Also, create a default feature list which will be utilized by users and resellers. Additionally, it is imperative to test these configuration settings in two separate hosting accounts to ensure consistency.
The final step is to change the cPanel to RVSkin themes. This includes changing the default theme to a different RVSkin theme then setting that as the default for each of the hosting accounts. There are a number of themes including rvgreen, rvblue, rvteal, rvolive, etc. Almost every color of the rainbow is represented.
RVSkin is such as powerful piece of software it allows you to convert the language based on the specific owner of the account. On the other hand, the webmaster has the ability to convert all accounts (including reseller) to a new language. This is tremendously important for those accounts deriving from other countries where English is not their first language.
RVSkin is a helpful add-on tool for web hosting providers that offer cPanel as their control panel. This addition is updated with new features constantly. If you currently use RVSkin, it is important to check for updates on a regular basis. As cPanel continues to create innovative features that are implemented or can be added to their programs, website management will become easier and more user-friendly.
