Sever Skine: Simple Database for Website Management

Server Skine LogoIf 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.

Server Skine Window

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. ServerSkineBy 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.

    I have been using this program for quite sometime now. It is so useful for keeping up with domain and ftp information, and its one of the only free programs that I have found to do this.

    If you are looking for a truly excellent app to keep track of this sort of information and much more, check out info.xhead.

    Here’s +1 for Info.xhead. Its best feature is the ability to customize and categorize by type of information being stored. So, for instance, I can achieve the function of ServerSkine as one category within the utility, along others for website logins, credit card accounts, etc. Sky
