Editions
F

Free
This is the basic edition which can manage one Minecraft server instance on a single machine, with the inclusion of a text-based ad announcing that the server is run by Multicraft.

Owned
This edition allows 2-10 Minecraft server instances on a single installation.

Dynamic
This license allows any number of Minecraft servers and there is a volume discount on the monthly price that depends on the number of servers. The number of machines it is deployed on has no effect on the price.

Security
Not following the security recommendations that have been outlined on their website can cause installations to be open to certain kinds of malicious activity.

Failure to configure the software correctly can lead to several potential issues:
 * Having the "protected" directory unprotected: by a malicious user using undisclosed exploits (not just in Multicraft, example: Apache) the could read and write files in this directory.
 * API access being abused: the API can be abused if a malicious user gets a hold of the API details, so if it's not being used it should be disabled.
 * Having unrestricted superuser access: a malicious users gaining access to an unrestricted superuser access gives them the highest level of power on your panel.
 * Having public access to Multicrafts daemon connections: this is a huge security problem, allowing the possibility to brute-force attack.
 * Not separating the Daemon and Panel databases: if together, and a Daemon gets hacked into by a malicious user, the entire network of Multicraft daemons is at risk.
 * Not running the Daemon in multiuser mode: without using multiuser mode, users servers are not properly separated and plugins can be "crafted" to have malicious.
