Welcome to The IT Cave, a tech site for IT professionals or for anyone who wants to learn a bit more about technology.

Brief History

I initially started “The IT Cave” in May 2012 as a way to document what I was working on and fixes for issues I came across in my job – basically to break out my tech posts from my personal posts on my personal blog. I was basically a year into my first job as a real systems administrator for a mortgage company in Orlando, Florida.

At the time, I had a private office without windows and I liked to work in the dark which lead the people in the office to start referring to my office as “the cave”. The name stuck, and so, welcome to The IT Cave!

This site was regularly updated from 2012 to 2018. In 2018, I forgot to renew the domain, and it got snatched up by some Chinese spam. For the last 7 years, I have been trying to get it back. I saw that the domain expired back in December of 2024 and was moving its way though the motions of being deleted (and I noticed it was in redemption in early March 2025, set to be deleted soon). I finally snagged my domain back – on auto-renew this time!

What I’m up to Now

Well, a lot has changed since I last blogged in 2018. I’ve left Florida and Ohio. I’m still working in IT, although I’ve changed jobs a few times. So much has happened, I wish I had this blog. I hope to restore useful content.

Last year, I wrote a book about cPanel (recently updated) and another book about WHM. Oh, I also wrote a book about customer service. Feel free to check them out and even buy a copy!

What’s in The Cave?

A knowledge base of information! I will share any tips, tricks, and wisdom. If you have questions, please ask. If there is a something you want to know, please ask. I’ll cover topics from Linux to Windows, virtualization, and everything in between. Enjoy!
