Both the disallowing of the username "admin" and the changing of the default admin directory to something different (often admin). THis could be as simple as checking a box (in admin) to force two random characters to be added to a username of "Admin" and doing the same for the admin directory.

This will suggest a random username to your users. And regarding the Admin folder we do allow users to change the admin directory from the install form for the scripts which support this. Currently it is available in the following scripts : WHMCS, PrestaShop, AbanteCart, AlegroCart, Commentics Edited by Brijesh : May 21, 2013, 7:27 am ----------------------- Webuzo - Multi User Hosting Control Panel AMPPS - Best WordPress/PHP/MySQL development tool

Appending the username as an option is cleaver. It shows that you really are security conscious and do want to support your customers in making their servers and scripts more secure. Thank you so much!
