Sever Skine: Simple Database for Website Management

If you’re in the business of web pages chances are you manage more than just a few. One of the most annoying thing about managing websites for other people is keeping track of all their server information - registrars, hosts, ftp accounts, all those usernames and passwords. It can be a real pain to keep this data close at hand.

ServerSkine purports to be a tool to take care of exactly this kind of information, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

ServerSkine is a small but very straight-forward application. Hit the plus button and you can enter all sorts of information into organized fields. The program keeps track of server, FTP, database, host, and domain information for as many domains as you need. By putting in your login information for your registrar, server, and ftp, ServerSkine also allows you to automatically connect to say, GoDaddy and manage your sites by clicking a single button. It will open that site in a new tab in whatever browser you’re currently using.

ServerSkine 1.0.5 is a free program for OS X 10.4+ though it doesn’t say anything about Leopard specifically. While it’s not something I got terribly excited about, it’s definitely a useful and practical way to keep track of your many domains.
