Testing Your Web Site Before Changing DNS

2019-05-13T15:58:13Z

Daniellem: /* Introduction */

==Using Your Computer's Hosts File to Test Your Web Site==
When migrating your site to a new server, you want to test your site before updating the DNS to point to the new server. To do this you can use your computer's '''hosts''' file to force your computer to visit the new server when visiting your domain name.
===Introduction===
Your computer's '''hosts''' file is a local repository for resolving a domain name to an IP. The '''hosts''' file essentially acts as a custom configuration for you only. After we help you configure it, it will sit between your computer and the Internet and override what is currently set up on the Internet with the custom configuration you have in said file. This is why you can access your website before DNS has propagated, or even before DNS has been changed at all.

===Example===
Below is example from a Windows hosts file that shows ''google.com'' and ''www.google.com'' pointing to a different IP address than what is reported by a DNS lookup.
<pre>
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
192.168.1.204 google.com
192.168.1.204 www.google.com
</pre>
===How to Edit the Hosts File===
====Windows PC (Windows 95 / 98 / Me / NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 7/ 8 /10 )====
#Open Notepad as Administrator:
##Click the Start menu, open All Programs --> Accessories
##Right-click Notepad and click '''Run as Administrator'''
##Windows might ask if you want to let Notepad have administrator privileges, you'll click on "Yes".
#In Notepad click File --> Open and find the hosts file at the appropriate location:
#*'''Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 7/ 8 /10''':<pre>C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts</pre>
#*'''Windows 95 / 98 / Me''':<pre>C:\windows\hosts</pre>
#*'''''Please note that the file type drop-down menu needs to be changed to "All Files" to see the hosts file:''''' [[Image:edit_hosts_file2.jpg]] 
#On the last line add your entry as shown below then save and close Notepad. This example assumes we want to point '''domainname.com''' to '''0.0.0.0'''.
##If you get an error when you go to save the file, you might need to temporarily disable any Anti-Virus running while you make this change. (Normally you don't want anyone or anything modifying this file.)
#*Where you will replace "'''0.0.0.0'''" with the IP Address of your site in our system. The IP Address that you need to use can be found in your cPanel, WCP, or New Account Information email.
<pre>0.0.0.0 domainname.com</pre>

====Mac OS====
#Open a finder window and open your Applications folder
#Open the Utilities folder
#Locate the Terminal app and double-click it
#When the terminal opens, enter this command:
#*'''Mac OS 10.6 and higher''':<pre>sudo nano /etc/hosts</pre>
#*'''Mac OS 10.5 and below''':<pre>sudo nano /private/etc/hosts</pre>
#Enter your Mac user's password when prompted
#On the last line add your entry as shown below. This example assumes we want to point '''domainname.com''' to '''0.0.0.0'''.
#*Where you will replace "'''0.0.0.0'''" with the IP Address of your site in our system. The IP Address that you need to use can be found in your cPanel, WCP, or New Account Information email.
<pre>0.0.0.0 domainname.com</pre>
#Press '''''ctrl'''''-'''''x''''', then press '''''y''''' when prompted to save your changes

====Linux====
#SSH into your console or open your terminal if you run a GUI on your Linux machine.
#Enter this command: <pre>sudo nano /etc/hosts</pre>
#Enter your ''root'' password when prompted
#On the last line add your entry as shown below. This example assumes we want to point '''domainname.com''' to '''0.0.0.0'''.
#*Where you will replace "'''0.0.0.0'''" with the IP Address of your site in our system. The IP Address that you need to use can be found in your cPanel, WCP, or New Account Information email.
<pre>0.0.0.0 domainname.com</pre>
#Press '''''ctrl'''''-'''''x''''', then press '''''y''''' when prompted to save your changes
'''''Note''': If you plan to test with the '''www''' version of your domain name, you must add an entry for the '''www''' version of your domain to the hosts file. You may also need to '''[[Flush_DNS_Resolver_Cache|flush your computer's DNS resolver cache]]''' after making these changes too.''

MySQL remote access

2019-04-22T21:27:12Z

Daniellem: /* Restricting All Access to MySQL Root From Remote Addresses */

__FORCETOC__
===Windows VPS - Unable to connect to mysql remotely===

#Verify you have port 3306 open in the VPS firewall. You can open it following the directions in this wiki: [[MySQL_remote_access_for_root_user#Granting_remote_access_to_root_user|Granting remote access to MySQL root user]]
#Verify any [https://wiki.hostek.com/Firewall_Options_-_VPS/Dedicated#Restricting_Access_to_a_Port restrictions for access based on IP] in the Windows Firewall, this may be locked down to hostek.com management servers only. You will need to add your IP as an allowed IP. To find your IP address, visit http://hostek.com/ip, and add to the "scope".

===How to verify what hosts a user can connect from===
#For Windows VPSs, log into your VPS via RDP. For Linux VPSs, log into your VPS via SSH
#Open a mysql command prompt
#*On Linux, just run the command '''mysql -u root -p'''. You will be prompted for the mysql root password.
#*On Windows, open a command prompt and run the command '''mysql -u root -p'''. You will be prompted for the mysql root password.
#You should now be at a mysql command prompt. Run the following commands in order:
#:''use mysql'';
#:''select user,host from user where user='username';
#*So for example, you want to verify what hosts the user ''foo'' can connect from. The command sequence would be:
#:''use mysql'';
#:''select user,host from user where user='foo';

===Granting remote access to root user===
To grant remote access to the mysql root user on your VPS, follow this procedure:

#For Windows VPSs, log into your VPS via RDP. For Linux VPSs, log into your VPS via SSH
#Open a mysql command prompt
#*On Linux, just run the command '''mysql -u root -p'''. You will be prompted for the mysql root password.
#*On Windows, open a command prompt and run the command '''mysql -u root -p'''. You will be prompted for the mysql root password.
#You should now be at a mysql command prompt. Run the following commands in order:
#:''use mysql'';
#:''GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'REMOTE_IP' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' WITH GRANT OPTION;''
#:''flush privileges''
#*So for example, the remote public IP address you are connecting from is 1.2.3.4 and the mysql password is "WEON#@fasdpnq23?$$@". The command sequence you would run would be:
#:''use mysql'';
#:''GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'1.2.3.4' IDENTIFIED BY 'WEON#@fasdpnq23?$$@' WITH GRANT OPTION;''
#:''flush privileges''
#*[[http://hostek.com/ip Click here]] to determine what your public IP address is.

Please not that it is not advisable to use the '''root''' username for admin purposes, as this is the default and easily guessed by potential attackers. For improved security, it is advisable to use a different username for administrative purposes (you should also avoid using '''admin''' or '''administrator'''). There is no technical reason to use '''root''' as the admin username for mysql.

===Restricting ALL Remote Access to MySQL===

There are two simple ways to disable access to the 'root' MySQL user from all external connections. In this section, we'll go over both methods and how to implement them.

'''Method #1: Restricting via Firewall'''

The first method is simple for both Windows and Linux VPSs. It effectively blocks off the port used for MySQL transactions to the outside world so that MySQL will only work for requests inside the server.

On Windows:
#Connect via RDP to your VPS, then click the Start icon and search '''Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security'''. Click the result.
#Click the '''Inbound Rules''' tab on the top-left. Under the list of '''Inbound Rules''', there should be one entitled '''MySQL'''. Double-click it.
#On the new pop-up, click the checkmark next to '''Enabled''' to disable the rule and close off external access to your server's MySQL port.
#Click '''OK''' to save your changes.

On Linux/cPanel:
#After logging in to WHM, search for '''ConfigServer Security & Firewall''' at the top-left. Click the result.
#Scroll down until you find a section called '''Firewall Configuration''' and click it.
#Scroll down on the new page until you see a section called '''IPv4 Port Settings'''. In this section, you should see a box next to the letters '''TCP_IN'''.
#Search through the numbers/ports in that box until you find '''3306'''. Delete it and the comma after it to close off external access to your server's MySQL port.
#Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click '''Change'''. On the new page, click '''Restart csf+lfd''' to apply your changes.

'''Method #2: Restricting via MySQL Configuration'''

This method leaves the firewall alone and instead uses the 'skip-networking' command in MySQL that tells the service to not listen for incoming connections at all.

On Windows:
#Connect via RDP to your VPS, then click the '''Start''' icon. Search for '''Services''' and click the result.
#Scroll through this list until you see a service labeled '''MySQL'''. Right-click and choose '''Properties'''.
#You should see a line that says '''Path to executable:'''. Under this path, look for the text '''--defaults-file='''. This is the path to your MySQL configuration file. Keep the '''Services''' window open.
#Open a new Windows File Explorer window and navigate to the path of the MySQL configuration file you found in step #3. For example, '''C:\MySQL\my.ini'''. The file should always be named '''my.ini'''. Edit this file.
#Under the text '''[mysqld]''', enter the following line: '''skip-networking'''. Save the file, and switch back to your '''Services''' window.
#Restart the MySQL service to save your changes by right-clicking it and choosing '''Restart'''.

On Linux/cPanel:
#Log into your server via SSH.
#Edit the '''/etc/my.cnf''' file by typing ''nano /etc/my.cnf''
#You should see the text '''[mysqld]''' at the top of the file. Right under this text, insert the following line: '''skip-networking'''.
#Save the file by pressing '''CTRL+O'''. Hit enter, then press '''CTRL+X''' to close the file.
#Restart the MySQL service to apply your changes with the command '''service mysql restart'''. Note: If you get an error, try using the '''service mysqld restart''' or '''service mariadb restart''' commands.

CloudLinux

2019-04-09T19:21:34Z

__FORCETOC__

== What is CloudLinux ==
* More stable - Less downtime
* More secure

CloudLinux is a Kernel-level technology that helps provide for a more stable hosting environment. This is accomplished by protecting your site against the bad neighbor effect. What this means is that CloudLinux will prevent a single site from crashing a server, making your site unresponsive. When a single customer's site starts consuming too much of the generous amount of server resources, CloudLinux will throttle just that site to allow it to continue operating up to a safe server level, while at the same time fully protecting your site from 'bad neighbor'.

==CloudLinux CageFS Software==

CageFS further increases security on top of the kernel-level benefits described above. It is a virtualized file system and a set of tools to contain each user in its own 'cage'. Once installed, each account on the server will have its own fully functional CageFS, with all the system files, tools, etc. With CageFS, only safe binaries are available to the user. Said user will not see any other accounts on the server and would have no way to detect the presence of other users & their user names on the server. CageFS also prevents a user from seeing server configuration files, such as Apache config files.

At the same time, the user's environment will be fully functional, and they should not feel in any way restricted. No adjustments to a user's scripts are needed. CageFS will cage any scripts execution done via Apache (suexec, suPHP, mod_fcgid, mod_fastcgi), LiteSpeed Web Server, Cron Jobs, SSH, and many more services.

==Cloudlinux PHP Selector==

Hostek.com uses CloudLinux on all of our shared servers, but a license to add it to a VPS is completely optional. One of the benefits (among the others outlined above) is access to something called 'cl.selector', AKA CloudLinux PHP selector. This allows us to change PHP versions on a per-site basis (for example, you might require PHP version 5.5 on one website, and 5.6 on another. Without cl.selector, this would not be possible) as well as change the PHP modules per-site.

CloudLinux offers a very simple to install and use PHP selector. The first step in the install process is to set up a CloudLinux license. At current, these are $13.95 a month for our VPS customers. CloudLinux boasts not only accessibility via the various reliable plugins it offers (like the PHP selector) but increases server security, and allows you to limit resource usage across all accounts on your VPS with an in-WHM menu.

To access the PHP selector, simply click the 'Select PHP Version' button in the control panel for any site. Once done, use the drop-down to select the PHP version you need and then click 'set as current'.

Get with our support team today if you would like the CloudLinux PHP Selector to your VPS, or any of the other software included in the CloudLinux Suite.

== What to do if your site is being throttled by CloudLinux ==
This would be a very rare situation. However, if your site is the one potentially causing server problems (ie, the 'bad neighbor), which means your site is being throttled and seems to work sometimes and not others, or maybe just not working for the most part, this means your site is consuming too many server resources. We have these throttle limits so high that if your site is hitting these limits, generally it should not be on any shared hosting environment.

The one exception to that would be if your site has hundreds or thousands of pages and a bot is heavily crawling your site. If that is the case, we suggest you add a Crawl-Delay setting to your robots.txt file to slow down the bots. Generally setting the Crawl-Delay to 10 will suffice.

In the rare case that your site does get throttled by CloudLinux, we suggest looking at your log files to see what may be causing the problem. If you just have a ton of traffic (ie, way beyound normal shared hosting) then you really need to get a VPS asap. If you have a run-away script, then you should review the code for that to see if you can find/fix the problem.

LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache)

2018-08-09T15:09:53Z

Daniellem: /* Frequently Asked Questions */

==Summary==

LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache) is a server-level caching solution offered by an alternative to Apache called LiteSpeed. While LiteSpeed itself offers many advantages, LSCache works hand-in-hand with LiteSpeed to create an even more efficient and fast environment for your website.

==LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress (LSCWP)==

LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress is a highly customizable web server-level caching plugin that utilizes LiteSpeed Cache. It is designed to dramatically increase WordPress site speed with little to no configuration necessary. As mentioned earlier, by caching at the web server layer, overhead is cut drastically allowing caching to be done more quickly and efficiently than in any other caching solution.

===Installation on a Shared cPanel Server===

If you are on a shared cPanel/Linux server and have been directed to this page via e-mail, you are part of our beta LSCWP program! We strongly encourage you to take advantage of this free speed-boosting plugin. To do so, please perform the following steps:

#Log into your WordPress website.
#Click 'Plugins' on the left. [[File:LSCache1r.png]]
#'''Very Important:''' Deactivate any other caching plugins like W3 Total Cache on your website, so that LiteSpeed Cache is the only WordPress caching plugin enabled. If you skip this step, LiteSpeed Cache will not work.
#Still within the WordPress admin, scroll down on the left until you see LiteSpeed Cache. Click that. [[File:LSCache2.png]]
#Click the 'DB Optimizer' tab on the new page. [[File:LSCache3.png]]
#Click the 'Clean All' button. After that, click 'Optimize Tables' button. [[File:LSCache4.png]]
#That's it! You have activated LiteSpeed Cache and optimized your WordPress database at the same time. You can either go through all the pages on your site so that they get cached, or you can let the automated crawler do so (see FAQ).

----

===Installation on a VPS===

''Note: This section is for clients whom have purchased their own private server. If your website is on a Hostek.com shared server, please read the section above.''

As a prerequisite, your server must have LiteSpeed with LSCache. To get this speed-boosting upgrade, [https://support.hostek.com/ please contact Hostek.com support by clicking here] and mention this wiki page.

#Login into WHM for your server (http://<Your Server's IP>:2086/).
#At the top-left, type in 'LiteSpeed'. There should be one result (LiteSpeed Web Server), click it.
#Under 'LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress Management', click 'Manage Cache Installations'.
#In this section, click 'scan'. LiteSpeed will now scan for all of the WordPress sites on the server.
#Once the scan is finished, go back to the 'Manage Cache Installations' page.
#Simply check the box on the left for the websites(s) you want to enable LiteSpeed Cache for, then scroll back up and click 'Enable Selected'. This will install the LiteSpeed WordPress plugin and connect configs on the LiteSpeed back-end for the sites you chose.
#Next, log into the site's WordPress admin, then go to Plugins.
#'''Very Important:''' Deactivate any other caching plugins like W3 Total Cache on your website, so that LiteSpeed Cache is the only one. If you skip this step, LiteSpeed Cache will not work.
#Still within the WordPress admin, scroll down on the left until you see LiteSpeed Cache. Click that.
#Click the 'DB Optimizer' tab on this new page, then click the 'Clean All' button. After that, click 'Optimize Tables' button at the bottom-right.
#That's it! You have activated LiteSpeed Cache and optimized your WordPress database at the same time. You can either go through all the pages on your site so that they get cached, or you can let the automated crawler do so (see FAQ).

----

=== Frequently Asked Questions ===

''Please Note: Other caching plugins are not compatible with LSCache. See final question for more details.''

'''"Why is LSCWP/LSCache faster than other caching plugins?"'''

Unlike most other caching plugins, LSCache works by caching pages on a server-level. It can do this because it has access to LiteSpeed, and through that the server as a whole. The first time a page loads it may load at normal rates, for that's the time it is getting placed into the server cache. After that, it will load almost instantly for everyone, as it is pulled from the server cache instead of the web server. Normal caching plugins work by caching pages on a client/browser level, which is much less efficient, as every person browsing the site will have to load the pages themselves before they are cached on their local machine instead of the server.

'''"How do I configure LSCache?"'''

You can modify a plethora of technical features by going to Plugins -> LiteSpeed Cache -> Settings. There are many tabs of configuration variables you and your developers can modify at that location. This is not to say you need to-- LSCache comes out-of-the-box with many settings already configured to optimal values for most websites.

'''"If a page is changed, will the changed be cached again automatically?"'''

LSCache comes with what is called a ''crawler'' that checks each page of your website for changes. When it detects that a cached page is changed, it will re-cache the page automatically. It does this every 400 seconds, so changes you make will indeed quickly be cached once more. This 400 second value can be changed by going to Plugins -> LiteSpeed Cache -> Settings as mentioned in the previous question.

'''"Is there a way to force a page to re-cache?"'''

To 'force-reload' a page into the cache, all it will take is simply loading the page once through the browser. LSCache will detect that it hasn't been cached before (or if a different version of it was cached) and it will automatically update. The aforementioned crawler will also do this every 400 seconds.

'''"Why Can't I use other caching plugins in conjunction with LSCache?"'''

LSCache uses certain protocols that do not work when other caching plugins like W3 Total Cache are enabled. Please only enable one at a time, though for the reasons above we strongly suggest sticking with LSCache as your main WordPress caching solution.

If you have a question that is not listed, [https://support.hostek.com/ please feel free to contact Hostek.com support by clicking here.]

===Installation on a VPS===

''Note: This section is for clients whom have purchased their own private server. If your website is on a Hostek.com shared server, please read the section above.''

As a prerequisite, your server must have LiteSpeed with LSCache. To get this speed-boosting upgrade, [https://support.hostek.com/ please contact Hostek.com support by clicking here] and mention this wiki page.

#Login into WHM for your server (http://<Your Server's IP>:2086/).
#At the top-left, type in 'LiteSpeed'. There should be one result (LiteSpeed Web Server), click it.
#Under 'LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress Management', click 'Manage Cache Installations'.
#In this section, click 'scan'. LiteSpeed will now scan for all of the WordPress sites on the server.
#Once the scan is finished, go back to the 'Manage Cache Installations' page.
#Simply check the box on the left for the websites(s) you want to enable LiteSpeed Cache for, then scroll back up and click 'Enable Selected'. This will install the LiteSpeed WordPress plugin and connect configs on the LiteSpeed back-end for the sites you chose.
#Next, log into the site's WordPress admin, then go to Plugins.
#'''Very Important:''' Deactivate any other caching plugins like W3 Total Cache on your website, so that LiteSpeed Cache is the only one. If you skip this step, LiteSpeed Cache will not work.
#Still within the WordPress admin, scroll down on the left until you see LiteSpeed Cache. Click that.
#Click the 'DB Optimizer' tab on this new page, then click the 'Clean All' button. After that, click 'Optimize Tables' button at the bottom-right.
#That's it! You have activated LiteSpeed Cache and optimized your WordPress database at the same time. You can either go through all the pages on your site so that they get cached, or you can let the automated crawler do so (see FAQ).

=== Frequently Asked Questions ===

'''"Why is LSCWP faster than other caching plugins?"'''

Unlike most other caching plugins, LSCache works by caching pages on a server-level. It can do this because it has access to LiteSpeed, and through that the server as a whole. The first time a page loads it may load at normal rates, for that's the time it is getting placed into the server cache. After that, it will load almost instantly for everyone, as it is pulled from the server cache instead of the web server. Normal caching plugins work by caching pages on a client/browser level, which is much less efficient, as every person browsing the site will have to load the pages themselves before they are cached on their local machine instead of the server.

'''"If a page is changed, will the changed be cached again automatically?"'''

LSCache comes with what is called a '''crawler''' that checks each page of your website for changes. When it detects that a cached page is changed, it will re-cache the page automatically. It does this every 400 seconds, so changes you make will indeed quickly be cached once more. You can modify this 400-second value as well as a plethora of other technical features by going to Plugins -> LiteSpeed Cache -> Settings. There are many tabs of configuration variables you and your developers can modify at that location. This is not to say you need to-- LSCWP comes out-of-the-box with all settings configured at optimal values for most websites.

'''"Is there a way to force a page to re-cache?"'''

To 'force-reload' a page into the cache, all it will take is simply loading the page once through the browser. LSCache will detect that it hasn't been cached before (or if a different version of it was cached) and it will automatically update. The aforementioned crawler will also do this every 400 seconds.

Daniellem: /* Downloading */

==Summary==

This guide will help you download, install, and set up the widely-used FileZilla FTP software. If you have any questions about any step of this process, [https://support.hostek.com/ please feel free to contact Hostek.com support by clicking here.]

==Downloading==

Picking the right version of FileZilla is rather simple.

#First, we'll start by going to the download page here:
#*[https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1 https://filezilla-project.org/download.php]
#The next step will depend on what operating system you have on your computer. If it is Windows, click the link under the bold title '''Windows (64bit)'''. If your operating system is Mac OS, click the link under the bold title '''Mac OS X'''.
#*'''Note:''' For this part of the guide, we'll be assuming that your operating system is Windows. Install and setup should be the extremely similar on Mac OS once FileZilla is downloaded, however.
#Since my computer is Windows, I've clicked the link titled 'FileZilla_3.25.1_win64-setup.exe' and it is now downloaded to my computer. Navigate to the location it was downloaded, then double-click to run the FileZilla installer.

Let's Encrypt SSL on cPanel

2016-12-15T21:38:23Z

Daniellem:

==Summary==
 
Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open SSL certificate authority. It can be used to provide optional free SSL encryption. It is only basic-level encryption, however, so there is still value to purchasing premium SSL certificate from providers like GeoTrust or Verisign.

==Let's Encrypt on a cPanel VPS==
 
Installing Let's Encrypt is simple and easy. cPanel v58 and above supports the following command via [[SSH]]:
<pre>/scripts/install_lets_encrypt_autossl_provider</pre>

Then do the following:
#Log into WHM (http://yourVPShostname.com:2086).
#Search on the left for 'Manage AutoSSL'.
#Under 'Choose an AutoSSL Provider:' select 'Let's Encrypt™'
#Check the 'I agree to these terms of service' box.
#Click Save.
#That's it! Let's Encrypt is now installed.

===Enabling Let's Encrypt for a cPanel user/domain===
#Log into WHM (http://yourVPShostname.com:2086).
#Search on the left for 'Manage AutoSSL'.
#Click 'Manage Users'
#Search for the username in the search box.
#Click 'Enable AutoSSL' for that user.

Let's Encrypt SSL on cPanel

2016-12-15T21:37:35Z

Daniellem: Created page with "==Summary== Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open SSL certificate authority. It can be used to provide optional free SSL encryption. It is only basic-level encry..."

==Summary==
 
Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open SSL certificate authority. It can be used to provide optional free SSL encryption. It is only basic-level encryption, however, so there is still value to purchasing premium SSL certificate from providers like GeoTrust or Verisign.

==Let's Encrypt on a cPanel VPS==
 
Installing Let's Encrypt is simple and easy. cPanel v58 and above supports the following command via [[SSH]]:
<pre>/scripts/install_lets_encrypt_autossl_provider</pre>

Then do the following:
#Log into WHM (http://yourVPShostname:2086).
#Search on the left for 'Manage AutoSSL'.
#Under 'Choose an AutoSSL Provider:' select 'Let's Encrypt™'
#Check the 'I agree to these terms of service' box.
#Click Save.
#That's it! Let's Encrypt is now installed.

===Enabling Let's Encrypt for a cPanel user/domain===
#Log into WHM (http://yourVPShostname:2086).
#Search on the left for 'Manage AutoSSL'.
#Click 'Manage Users'
#Search for the username in the search box.
#Click 'Enable AutoSSL' for that user.
#That's it! it will automatically enable.

Shared SSL

2016-12-02T16:23:51Z

Daniellem: /* Linux cPanel Customers */

__FORCETOC__

== Shared SSL ==

Shared Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a certificated that all of our customers can use. The Shared SSL certificated is intended for those who wish to have a secure connection, to say an admin area or a simple checkout process, but don't wish to purchase a Private SSL.

Normally, a Shared SSL is not the best choice for an e-commerce site, this is because most customers expect to see the domain name of the company in the URL address bar. Shared SSL will use our domain name (usually ezhostingserver.com or hostek.com) in place of your domain name.

NOTE:
#For our resellers, Hostek.com has a white label shared SSL for your customers to use.
#For information about Private SSL Certificates please visit http://hostek.com/web-hosting-ssl.asp
#Installing a purchased Private SSL please visit https://wiki.hostek.com/SSL_Certificates

== Enable Shared SSL ==

=== Windows and ColdFusion Customers ===
The shared SSL can be enabled via the control panel for our Windows and ColdFusion hosting customers.

# Log in to WCP at https://wcp.hostek.com
# Locate the Security and SSL Section
# Click on the Shared SSL Icon
# Click Enable
# Copy the link in URL:

These Shared SSL URL's will look something like https://securex.ezhostingserver.com/yourdomain-com/

=== Linux cPanel Customers ===
For our cPanel customers, this is enabled by default. Just use your pre-propagation URL except with https:// instead of http://

Another Example: Use https:// followed by your website name, then the server you are on. Take reference to the following:

<pre>https://yourdomain.com.cpXX.ezhostingserver.com/</pre>''In the example above, 'XX' is the server name and yourdomain.com is your website.''

'''Note''': You must use the appropriate Shared SSL URL in order for it to work with your site. It will not work if you try to prefix your primary domain name with "https://". If you require this functionality please [[SSL_Certificates#Ordering_an_SSL_Certificate|order a dedicated SSL certificate]] for your site.

== How Shared SSL Works ==

Here is a sample of how the Shared SSL Hosting works on our servers.

Notice the site look and how the URL is still on the main domain's site. In their cart, they have indicated the shared SSL URL for the checkout process. They will the be directed to the Secure URL for the checkout process. However, as mentioned before, it is optimal to have the whole cart in a secure environment so the customer feels secure the whole time.

[[File:Shared_ssl_pressl.jpg]]

Now, after clicking "Checkout" the cart takes you to this Shared SSL page. Notice that the look of the site is the same. The URL changes based on the shared SSL URL for the site, which the cart owner entered in their cart setup.

[[File:Shared_ssl_withssl.jpg]]

Maybe you're not using a cart, but just need to link to a secure form submission page. After setting up the Shared SSL, you would just set your link to link to the Shared SSL URL instead of the non secured URL. It's really a simple process.

SSH

2016-11-18T16:45:41Z

Daniellem:

==SSH==
The dedicated IP and port for SSH access on Linux VPS servers will be included in the email with server details. Alternatively we have an alternate port which can be used for SSH however this will need to be configured. Please email support for the alternate port number and follow the steps below.

==Configuring alternate SSH port for your VPS==
*'''NOTE''' You must be familiar with editing Linux text files from a command prompt to proceed.

#Contact support for the alternate SSH port to use.
#:If you have requested your VPS to not be behind our perimiter firewall and you are 100% managing your own firewall, then you can use any TCP port that you wish
#Add the alternate TCP port to the cPanel firewall:
##Log into WHM of your server
##Scroll down and select ''ConfigServer Security&Firewall''
##Click ''Firewall Configuration''
##Edit the TCP_IN line, adding the alternate SSH port, being careful to have comma before and after the number
##*Pay close attention to the formatting of the current entries in this line. Syntax errors will result in your VPS firewall failing to restart
##Click Change button at the bottom
#Configure SSH to use the new port:
##SSH into your VPS on the default port 22
##Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file
##Change the line "Port 22" to "Port ####" (without quotes) where #### is the alternate port
##Save your changes
##Run the following command to restart the ssh service:
##:''service sshd restart''
##*'''NOTE''' Do not disconnect your ssh session after restarting the service until you verify with a new session that your changes are successful. Otherwise you will not be able to correct any syntax errors in the sshd_config file
##While your SSH session is still open, launch a new ssh session to your server, connecting on the new port 4805
##*If you get a connection failed, check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file for syntax errors and correct. Run the command "''service sshd restart''" (without quotes) after making any changes to the sshd_config file.

==Connecting to your server with a SSH key==

To connect via SSH you'll first need to download an SSH client such as Putty http://www.putty.org/. If you are on a shared server, the Hostek.com support team will need to enable access for you to see the area below.

To generate a new key:
#Click 'SSH/Shell Access' within the cPanel home page (once logged in).
#Click 'Manage SSH Keys'.
#Click the 'Generate a new Key' icon.
#Fill in the appropriate information.
#*Note: You should consider your needs when choosing a key type, bearing in mind that RSA keys yield a faster confirmation of identity, while using DSA keys will speed up key generation and signing times.
#Click Generate Key to generate the new SSH key and automatically install it to the server.

==View or Download SSH Key==
To view or download a key:
#Click View/Download next to the corresponding key in the appropriate table. You will be directed to a new page.
#Click Download Key to download the key. You can also copy the key and save it on your computer.

==Convert SSH private key==
To convert a private key and save it onto the server:
#Enter the key's passphrase into the box.
#Click Convert. You will be directed to a new page.
#Click Download Key to download the converted key to your desktop.

==Authorize and Deauthorize SSH Key==
'''Note: You will need to authorize a key before using it to connect to the server.'''
To authorize or deauthorize a key:
Click Manage Authorization next to the corresponding key in the appropriate table. You will be directed to a new page.
Click Authorize or Deauthorize.

Migration Assistance

2015-04-04T19:57:31Z

Daniellem: /* Limitations - Fine Print */

__FORCETOC__

In most cases, Hostek.com can help you migrate from your current provider to our services.

We perform this process day in and day out for both shared and VPS customers, so we have this process down to a good science.

== Migrations - Preparation Steps ==
#Be sure you are going to a matching platform.
##If you know you are changing platforms, check with our support team to make sure it will be fine. Most of the time it will be fine.
#Be sure you have all your login details at your current host so that we can get access to your site, database, etc.

=== Required Information ===
To get started on your migration we will need the following information. We find it's easiest if customers provide a spreadsheet with the information below.

#List of domains
#*For Cpanel to Cpanel moves we need access to the existing CPanel Account, or WHM (preferred)
#*For large migrations 10+ domains or 10+GB full server access is preferred.
#Specific important details about each domain, such as the type of CMS or application framework, what parts are critical - which should ALSO be noted in your documents.
#List of databases, users and passwords (preferred)
#List of accounts, ftp, email
#URL and login details for your registrar, if we will be changing the DNS for you, this should be pre-determined.

See [http://blog.hostek.com/blog/uncategorized/3-steps-to-prepare-for-a-successful-hosting-migration/ this blog post] on how to make your migration pain free, there's also an Excel document for tracking the domains and account information.

More information in [https://wiki.hostek.com/index.php?title=Seamlessly_Change_Hosting_to_Hostek.com this wiki] on making your migration seamless.

== Migrations - Completion Steps ==

#Initial discussion about the migration (ticket or phone).
#*This is the best time to explain what is being migrated, specifically the required information (domains, accounts etc..) we should have received from you.
#*We will likely coordinate a time for the migration during this conversation.
#Migration Start - We will carry out the migration at the discussed time.
#Testing - After the migration is complete we will test any discussed URL/Parts of the websites/services that are critical and pre-determined.
#Migration Finish - When the migration and testing are complete we will let you know usually by ticket.
##There may be additional parts that need to be tested or finished such as DNS changes, however we can answer your questions about this in the initial discussion.

To find out how we can help with your migration, submit a ticket at https://support.hostek.com

== Limitations - Fine Print ==
You might ask, "what if I have 1000 sites? will Hostek migrate them all for me?". For migrations that will require more than 2hrs support time we must pre-approve first. We may discuss the complete migration or an effective plan for coordinating and working alongside the customer to move their sites. We have never had to tell a customer NO we can't do that and we have completed very large and complex multi-server migrations for many customers.
