-	Most of the attacks and exploits use /tmp to work out of any propagate themselves. You can protect yourself from such attacks by mounting /tmp with stops, namely "noexec" and "nosuid", which can make sure that executables can't be run from /tmp without escalated privileges. By adding none /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 in "/etc/fstab" you can further secure your computer. After doing so, save the file and reboot the VPS, now vps get mounted with "nosuid" and "noexec".	+

-	ModSecurity is an open source intrusion detection and prevention engine for web applications and helps in preventing attacks on programs that would be vulnerable; it acts as a powerful shielding application from attacks. ModSecurity supports both branches of the Apache web server.	+

-	PHP suEXEC	+
-		+
-	A PHP usually executes as the user or group (normally "apache" or "nobody") when it runs as an Apache Module. Suexec is a mechanism supplied with Apache that allows executing CGI scripts as the user they belong to, rather than Apache's user. Sometimes you may share serves with other users, and you can better protect yourself from them with these features in case they put in CGI content.	+

-	You can prevent external and internal infections in your VPS hosting UK by making use of the tips outlined here. You have to remember that your hardware and the files in it are extremely important, and should be protected from all possible dangers, be it Trojans, root kits, and other viruses. The old adage, "an ounce of protection is better than a pound of cure" is true in case of your VPS—it's better to spend now in order to prevent it rather than regret it later.	+

What Is a Transaction Coordinator?

A Transaction Coordinator is a person who takes responsibility for managing the deadlines and tasks of a real estate contract to closing. Some of the duties include:

1. Responsible for processing of all contracts through closing.

2. Coordinating appointments for inspections, appraisals, and closing.

3. Effectively communicates with clients, customers, other agents, lenders, title agents and other service providers throughout the process.

4. Responsible for proper documentation of the file to comply with brokerage policies.

5. Assures that all post-closing disbursements, filing, and procedures take place.

6. Frees the agent client up to focus on business building activities.

In many offices across the country, there are transaction coordinators on staff who are shared among the office. While this approach seems practical or beneficial on the surface because the coordinator is in house and can be accessed by stopping by her/his desk. It's not always the best or most effective approach when explored further. There are many reasons for that, a few are outlined here:

a. The transaction coordinator is paid by the office and has a job, which is not always exclusively coordinating transactions. Meaning, they could get pulled away from their job to help the other departments such as receptionist, listing coordinating or what have you. This means they aren't working on your transactions.

b. Interruptions! The facts are clear, it can take more than 20 minutes to get back on task after an interruption. That said, imagine how inefficient it can be if agents are walking in and out of the transactioncoordinators office all day long.
