L1 Administrator

Job Description

NixiHost.com, Inc. is a Texas-based web hosting company founded in early 2007 and headquartered in Houston. NixiHost was started by hosting industry professionals who were tired of the failures of the major hosting companies, and it was built so that management stays involved at every level of daily operations.

NixiHost owns its hardware, operates its own network in Texas datacenters, and offers cPanel/WHM shared and reseller hosting, KVM VPS managed through VirtFusion, and dedicated servers. Support is provided 24/7/365 by trained employees in Texas, not chatbots or outsourced call centers.

The L1 Administrator is the first line of that support. You will handle tickets and live chats across all three product lines, resolve what you have the access to fix, and escalate server-side or hardware issues to senior administrators with clear, complete notes.

Your typical day would look like...

Most of your shift is spent working the support queue: diagnosing and fixing customer issues in cPanel and WHM, checking logs over SSH when needed, and helping customers with email, DNS, SSL, and WordPress problems. On the VPS side you handle provisioning, reinstalls, console access, and account actions in VirtFusion. For dedicated customers you manage access requests and initial triage before handing off to the datacenter team.

You keep account records current in WHMCS, document anything unusual, and leave handoff notes so the next shift picks up cleanly.

Job Requirements

  • Working knowledge of cPanel and WHM, including DNS, email, SSL, and account management
  • Comfort on the Linux command line (SSH, logs, basic service management)
  • Solid understanding of DNS, email authentication, and SSL/TLS
  • Experience with VirtFusion or a comparable KVM panel (SolusVM, Virtualizor, Proxmox)
  • Familiarity with dedicated server basics such as IPMI access and OS reinstalls
  • Ability to troubleshoot common WordPress issues
  • Clear, professional written English for tickets and live chat
  • Availability for evening, overnight, or weekend shifts on a 24/7/365 rotation
  • Nice to have: WHMCS, Imunify360, JetBackup, CloudLinux
