This tutorial is going to help you become more familiar with databases and phpMyAdmin. We are going to assume that you are logged in to phpMyAdmin.

The main screen is divided into two screens. In the blue section on the left, you can see any databases you already have listed, and you have direct access to them.

A database consists of one or more tables, and it is in the tables that database information is recorded. In the blue screen, below any databases you have, it will list any tables in those databases.

If you click on a database name on the left hand side, the right hand screen opens up with information about that the tables contained in that database, as well as giving you the option of performing several actions. In the Action section, it allows you the following actions you can perform on each individual table.

You can Browse a table to see the individual records. You can see the Structure of a table, and perform certain actions. You can Search for specific keywords in a table. You can Insert new rows (or fields) in the table. You can Delete the contents of a table, or with the big red X you can Delete an entire table completely. There is a list of action links at the top of the window. You can Click on the link Structure in the upper left corner to view the database structure.

The next link is SQL, and it will open a SQL Query window for entering direct queries to the database. The next link is Search, which you can click to perform a search. The following link is Query, which also opens a SQL Query window, but provides an easier step-by-step way to make queries.

The next link is Export, which you can use to export databases to your local computer.

The Import link will import previously exported databases. The Operations link can do a number of other operations, like creating new tables, and copying or renaming databases. If you return to the blue section, and click on a table name, the white screen will now show you the structure of the database table. It will list all the tables fields, along with the type of field, attributes, and other properties.

If you scroll down, it will tell you which field is the Primary Key field. It provides lots of other information about the table, and has the same action links at the top of the screen that the database did.

In the blue screen, right below the phpMyAdmin name, there is a row of icons. If your want further help with SQL you can click the icon that is for Documentation. It is a box, with SQL inside it. The box with the question mark will get you assistance with phpMyAdmin by clicking on it. The middle box, with the red SQL is another way of opening the SQL Query window. The icon with the Exit and arrow will log you out of phpMyAdmin. Clicking on the house returns you to the main screen. This is the end of this tutorial. You should be more familiar with phpMyAdmin, and what you can use it to do. Be sure to check out the other tutorials in the series for more detailed instructions on specific actions.

This tutorial is going to teach you how to copy a database table with phpMyAdmin. For the purposes of the tutorial, we will assume that you are logged into phpMyAdmin already.

We are going to use a database with one table for an example in this tutorial. The phpMyAdmin page is divided into two main parts. The left blue screen is where you will find your database listed, with any tables of that database listed below it.

The right hand side is a large white screen, where the actions take place. Let's learn how to copy a database table with phpMyAdmin. Select the database table you wish to copy by clicking on it. This will bring up all the table details in the right hand screen. From the menu at the top of the screen, select and click on the Operations button. This will bring up a page of different operations you can perform on a table. If you scroll down the page, you will see a box called "Copy table to (database.table)." When you are copying a table, you can choose to copy one of three ways. You can copy the table structure only, copy the data only, or you can copy both the table structure and data. This is where you will find your three copy options. Select one of the options. Copying a table actually creates a new table altogether that is identical to the one that we are copying.

So now we need to give a name to the new table. Enter the name for the new table in the box, in the blank field. When you are done, click Go. A new screen will open in the right hand window.

It will confirm that the copy was successful, and what the name of the copy is. The copied table will now be showing in the left hand window, below the database, as a second table with the new name. This is the end of the tutorial.

You know how to create a copy of a database table using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is going to teach you how to create a table in a database with phpMyAdmin. We are going to assume you are already logged in to phpMyAdmin, and are on the main screen. For the purpose of this tutorial, we are going to create a table in a database that has no tables at this time. Let's start by selecting the database in the blue section that needs a table. Click on it. In the right hand window, a panel will open. It is to Create a new table. There is a blank box, and you need to enter a Name for the new table. Then in the next box, enter the number of fields this new table is going to have. When you are ready, click Go. Now a new set of boxes will open. These are the blank fields for your new table. You need to enter the details of each field within the new table in the first column. In the second column, you select the type of entry, such as interger, or decimal, or text, etc.. The third column is for the length of the entry, or how many characters long. You may also want to select a certain field to be Primary key.

That is one that will be automatically filled in (auto_increment) when new entries are added to the table. This is often times an id field, which auto-populates with an id number. To make it Primary key, select the first icon after the Extra box, and mark the radio button. The icon is a page with a key in front of it. Finish entering names and information for the rest of your fields. For example, if you were going to make one field Name, that would be a Char for type (character). And you would want to make sure you left enough length for any name that might be entered, so length might be something like 100. Telephone in the field would again be a Char type, and you would want to make the length about 50. When you are done, click on the Save Button. The screen will now show you the table you have created, and the SQL Query. In the blue window, the table will now be listed under the database. This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to create a table within a database using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is going to teach you how to delete fields from database tables using phpMyAdmin. We are going to assume that you are already logged into phpMyAdmin. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use a database with one table for an example. The database will be listed in the left hand window, which is blue, with the table listed below it. The right hand window is where all the activity will take place. Let's get started on deleting fields from database tables. Begin by selecting the table(from the left hand window) that you wish to delete fields from, and clicking on it. That will bring up all the details about the table in the right hand window. You will see a list, in chart form, of the fields contained in the table. Find the field you wish to delete. In front of the field name, there is a check box. Mark this box. Then below the list you will find the Delete Icon. It is a big red X. Click on it. A screen will ask you to confirm that you really want to delete (or Drop) the Field? Click Yes to confirm. Now the window will show the list of table fields, and the deleted field is gone. A message also confirms that your action was successful. This is the end of this tutorial. You now know how to delete a field from database tables using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is to teach you about specific operations in phpMyAdmin. We are going to learn how to delete a table in a database with phpMyAdmin.

For the purposes of this tutorial, we will assume that you are already logged into phpMyAdmin. For this tutorial, we will be using a database with two tables for the example. In the left hand window, the blue screen, you will see the name of the database, with the names of the tables listed below that name. Now let's learn how to delete one of the tables. Start by selecting the table you wish to delete in the blue window, by clicking on it. This will bring up all the table data in the big window on the right hand side. There is a list of fields that are in the table. You can delete individual fields from the table by selecting them in this list, using the check box at the beginning of each field. You would then click on the Delete icon, which is located below the fields table, a large red X. That would delete the selected field. You are now going to learn how to delete the entire table and everything in it. In the menu at the top of the white screen, click on the Drop button. A pop-up will ask you to confirm that you really want to drop the table. If you are sure, click on the OK button to confirm. The screen will now show a confirmation that the table has been dropped, and the table will no longer be listed in the databases list of tables. (This list is in the blue screen) Click on the Home icon on the left hand side, and this will take you to the main screen. This is the end of this tutorial. You now know how to delete tables from a database using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is to teach you how to export databases and tables with phpMyAdmin. We will assume that you are currently logged into phpMyAdmin, and for the purpose of this tutorial, we will use a database with two tables as our example. The phpMyAdmin main screen is broken into two sections. The left hand side is blue, and this is where you will find your database listed. Below the database, you will see the names of the tables that are in the database.

The right hand side is a large white window, and this is where the activity takes place. Let's start learning how to export tables and databases. To export a database, the first step is to click on it in the left hand panel. This will open the right hand panel to a screen showing the details of the database. Now, from the menu at the top of the right hand side, click on the Export button. This will open up a new screen, called View dump (schema) of database. There are many options listed for exporting the database.

One option is to export the entire database in SQL format, so that it can easily be imported later. This is an excellent way to back-up your database. To use this option, scroll down almost to the bottom of the box. On the left hand side, you will see a radio button and the letters SQL. Click on this. Make sure you go back to the top of the box and check any options you want before you move on with the export. For example, you might wish to uncheck or check things like : Add Auto_Increment Value, or Add Into Comments, Creation/Update/Check Dates. When you are ready, scroll down, and check the Save as file box.

Then click the Go button. You will get a pop-up asking you what to do with the file that you have chosen to open. Save to disk should be checked. Click on OK. That completes the export. The database has now been exported to your local computer. If you only want to export a table, begin by clicking on the table name in the left hand side. That will open a window showing the table details on the right hand side. Again, click on the Export button from the menu at the top of the window. That will open the View dump (schema) of table screen. You are going to check the SQL again, and make sure all the options you wish to mark are checked. Scroll to the bottom, and click on the Save as file. Then click on Go. The pop-up will ask what you want to do with the file. Save to Disk should be checked. Click on OK.

That completes the export of the table. It has now been exported to your local computer. Remember that exporting a database will export all the tables, providing they are all selected, but exporting tables only exports the selected table from within a database. This ends this tutorial. You now know how to export databases and tables to your local computer using phpMyAdmin.

Let's learn how to create a MySQL Database. MySQL Databases allow you to store lots of information in an easy to access manner.

This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel". On the main cPanel page, scroll down to the Database section, and click on the MySQL Databases icon.

For example, something like myinfo, or mydata. Then click on Create Database button. This will take you to the verification screen, showing that the database has been created. Now you need to create and add a user to this database. Click the Go Back link. Under the heading of Add New User, enter a new user to be added to your database in the Username box. You then need to enter and re- enter a password for the user. Click on the Create User button. This takes you to a screen to confirm that the user has been successfully created. Now you need to link the user to the database. Click on the Go Back link. In the section where it says Add User to Database, check to make sure that the correct user and the correct database are selected here.

NOTE: You will see that the username of the hosting account has been added to the beginning of both the user and the database with an "_" underscore between them. If the user and database are both correct, click on Submit to add the user to the database. This will take you to a screen called Manage User Privileges. You can assign All Privileges to the user by checking the top box, then click Make Changes. This will take you to the final verification screen, that will confirm all the information.

Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

Now let's set our Default (or catchall) email address. The default email address will "catch" any mail that is sent to an invalid email address for your domain. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel" Scroll to the section on Mail, and click on the Default Address link. This will take you to a screen where you set your default email address. All emails sent to an address you have not defined will go to the email address you enter here. Initally, your default POP address is set as your catch-all account. For example, yourdomain.com would give you an initial default address of yourdomain@yourdomain.com.

In this tutorial we are going to change this, as most people don't use their default POP accounts.

In the line with the radio button marked "Forward to email address" enter into the box the email address you want to use as the default address. Then click the change button. Your default email address has now been set. Click the HOME link in the upper left corner to return to the main cPanel page. This is the end of the tutorial.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use a database with one table for an example. Let's start by looking at the main screen of phpMyAdmin. The left hand panel is where you will find your database listed, and below the database will be any tables in that database. On the right hand side, in a large white screen, is where the actions take place. Now let's learn how to use Search. Start by clicking the on the database you wish to search in the left hand panel. This will bring up the details for the database in the right hand screen. At the top of that screen, click on the Search button. This opens a search window. In the blank, you need to enter the words or values you want to search for in the database. You can refine the search several ways. One method you can use is to select a radio button that limits the search scope, such as all words, or the exact phrase, etc.. If you had more than one table, you could limit the search to specific tables, by using the scrolling list. When you are ready, click Go to start the search. The next screen will show you if there are any matches to your search, and if there are, where they are located. You can now click on the Browse button at the end of the results, and it will show you the match. You can now make changes to that record if you wish. This is the end of this tutorial.

This tutorial will help you understand the four different user types of Joomla and what each can do. A Joomla site is just an empty shell without an active user base.

This tutorial will look at some of the things you should look at when you are trying to choose your Domain Name. As you know, a domain name is a quick and easy way for someone to find your website on the Internet. Without a domain name, people would have to remember a series of numbers, or your IP address, and enter that to locate your site. One of the first things to think about when choosing a domain name is even though they can be hundred of characters in length, the shorter the better. Domain names can contain letters, numbers, and hyphens. You should avoid using hyphens if possible, because sometimes they make it hard to communicate your address to other people, and an easy understanding is very important. One drawback to shorter is that a lot of the shorter names are already taken, so your first choice may already be in use. You may have to add to it, or make some small changes to find a short name that is available. You will also need to decide what top-level domain (TLD) or domain extension to use for your domain. There are many choices, such as .com, .net, .org, and so on. Recently, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) who oversees all of this added several new TLD's, like .biz, and .museum. The TLD doesn't matter much anymore, so you can use whichever sounds best and is available. If the .com of your choice is taken, maybe the .net version is available.

When selecting your domain, if you are operating a business website, you want it to reflect something about your products or type of business. For example, if your business is Joes Online Store, but your main product is blue widgets, your domain should be something to show that, like bluewidgets.net, or joesbluewidgets.com. People shopping for blue widgets will find you that way when they do a search. (It does take a long time and some effort to make yourself visible in a search unless your product is very unique and/or one-of-a-kind. That is called "search engine optimization") If you just use joesonlinestore.com as your domain, unless people know your name already you will be hard to find. So, the key points of domain name selection are to keep it short, keep it simple and make it mean something relating to the purpose of your business. You can have more than one domain name pointing to the same website, in fact this may help improve your search engine rankings. This concludes the tutorial about how to choose a domain name.

This tutorial will teach you how to create a Subdomain. Subdomains are URLs for different sections of your web site. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel.

Find the Icon named Subdomains, and click on it. This will take you to the Subdomain main page. You will find a box titled Subdomains, with your domain name after it. If you have more than one domain name, such as parked domains, or add-ons, you will find them here in a pull down menu. Select the correct domain for which you wish to make a Subdomain and in the box enter the prefix name of the new Subdomain. The result should look like this: something.yourdomain.com(or whatever your TLD is) For example, 123abc.yourdomain.com Below the Subdomain line is the Document Root line, and by clicking on the Icon, it will bring up the default directory for the Subdomain. Now click the Create Button. This will take you to a page showing that your Subdomain has been created successfully. Click on the Go Back link to return to the Subdomain page. Your new Subdomain is now listed here on the Subdomain page. You can make changes or remove it completely right here. A folder called 123abc (or whatever you named your Subdomain) has been created into which you will upload your files for this Subdomain.

This folder is located in the public_html directory, and can be accessed through file manager, or any FTP program. You can also access it by entering "www.yourdomain.com/123abc" You can grant virtual FTP access to your new Subdomain from the FTP Manager in cPanel, although it is not necessary to make it work. It is already working. You can now return to your cPanel main page by clicking on the HOME link in the upper left corner. This is the end of the tutorial. You can return to this section at any time to create additional subdomains, or delete existing ones.

But you also own the domain "yourdomain.net". If you park one of the domains on the other, then both will result in visitors getting to your web site. NOTE: Domain parking will NOT work if you have not updated the new domain's name servers to point to your account's name servers...so be sure to do that with your registrar first. Begin by scrolling down your cPanel main page to the section called Domains and click on the icon called Parked Domains. This takes you to a parked domain screen with a box labeled Create a New Parked Domain. Enter the domain you want to park in the box, then click the Add Domain button. You will now go to a verification screen, which will confirm that the domain has been successfully parked. Click on the Go Back link. The domain will now be listed in the Parked Domain list. This is where you can remove parked domains. Simply click on the Remove link, and then click on the Yes to confirm that you wish to remove the parked domain.

This takes you to the verification screen, confirming that you have successfully removed the parked domain. Click the Go Back link. Click on the HOME link in the upper left corner to return to the cPanel main page. This ends the tutorial. You may return and create as many parked domains as your hosting plan allows. You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

This tutorial will teach you how to set up URL redirects. Redirects allow you to make a specific web page redirect to another page and display the contents of that page. This way you can make a page with a long URL accessible by a page which has a shorter and easier to remember URL. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel". On your main cPanel page, scroll down to the Domains section, and click on the Redirects Icon. This will take you to the redirects screen. The first thing you need to do is decide whether this redirect will be temporary or permanent. Use the pull-down to select one or the other. Next, type in the URL that you want to redirect. For example, the "http://yourdomain.com/" is already listed. In the box you list the page for redirection, such as "anypage.html". In the next box, you need to enter the destination URL. This is the place you want your web site visitors sent to. Next click the Add button. That's all there is to it! It will now take you to the confirmation screen, showing which URL is being automatically redirected to what new URL. Click the Go Back Link. You can now see your new redirect listed in the Directory. You can also remove redirects from this same page. Simply click on the remove icon in the Directory list. It will take you to a screen that will verify that you have removed the redirect. You can now Click on the HOME link in the upper left corner, and return to the main cPanel page. This now ends the tutorial on URL redirects. You can set up as many URL redirects as you wish, including redirects to other pages within your own web site or redirects to pages within other web sites. You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

Erase and enter the correct DNS settings in the boxes, for Name Server 1, Name Server 2, and more if required. Click the Save button when you are finished. You will get a pop-up informing you that any change in DNS will take approximately 24 hours to propagate. It asks if you wish to continue.

Click OK. You can see the settings have been successfully updated, and your domain is now pointing to your new hosting account on our servers. Please remember that it can take 24 to 48 hours for your domain name to fully propagate after you make these changes. When finished, click on the log-out button. This ends this tutorial. You now know how to update your DNS settings by changing them to our name servers, when your domain name is registered with enom.com.

This tutorial will look at what the concept of Domain Names, and how they work. Every website on the Internet can be located by its IP address. The IP address is a unique set of numbers, assigned to every computer that has access to the Internet. Our hosting servers all have IP addresses, which you will be included in your welcome email. Anyone looking for your website can enter those numbers in the address bar of their browser, and they will find your website. So, are you going to tell people to look for you on the Internet by just entering 162.86.47.128? (Just an example.) Will anyone remember that? This is where the idea of Domain Names came about. Instead of having to enter a bunch of numbers, we can now assign a name to those numbers. Domain names can contain letters, numbers and hyphens. They can be hundreds of characters in length, but the shorter the domain name, the better. You can also have more than one domain name pointing at the same website. A domain name is an easy to remember address that can be translated by domain name servers into server IP addresses. In order for your computer to figure out what IP address to use for a domain name, it has to connect with a name server, which is also called a DNS server. That server connects with another, which connects with another, and so on, until a server is found that knows the correct IP address for the domain name.

When you purchase a domain name, you make sure the settings show that all requests for an IP address for that domain name are directed to our hosting name servers. The settings will be in the welcome email you receive when you purchase a hosting account with us. This concludes the tutorial on domain names, and how they work.

This procedure is necessary when you need to forward your emails to other email accounts like Gmail, Yahoo, etc or to another account you might have on your system. Log in to your control panel Click on the "Forwarders" icon in your cPanel Click on the "Add Forwarder" button Type in the first part of your email (everything before the @ symbol) in the "Address to Forward" field. You should see your domain name to the right of it. If you have more than one domain in your account you can select the one you need from the drop-down list Next, make sure the "Forward to email address:" radio button is checked and type in the email address you are forwarding to in that field Click on the "Add Forwarder" button to add this forwarder This will enable forwarding for the email address you entered. Note: If you setup a forwarder for an email address that is already added in your cPanel as an email account, the emails will still be delivered to that mailbox, plus any forwarder addresses you've added.

The following is a list of most file attachments that may be blocked by the MailScanner service (the attachments are removed from emails before delivery to you and placed in a quarantine area for 30 days should you wish to receive them): These are known to be dangerous in almost all cases. .reg Possible Windows registry attack .chm Possible compiled Help file-based virus .cnf Possible SpeedDial attack .hta Possible Microsoft HTML archive attack .ins Possible Microsoft Internet Comm. Settings attack .jse_ Possible Microsoft JScript attack .lnk Possible Eudora *.lnk security hole attack .ma_ Possible Microsoft Access Shortcut attack .pif Possible MS-Dos program shortcut attack .scf Possible Windows Explorer Command attack .sct Possible Microsoft Windows Script Component attack .shb Possible document shortcut attack .shs Possible Shell Scrap Object attack .vbe or .vbs Possible Microsoft Visual Basic script attack .wsc .wsf .wsh Possible Microsoft Windows Script Host attack .xnk Possible Microsoft Exchange Shortcut attack These are often used by viruses .com Windows/DOS Executable .exe Windows/DOS Executable These are very dangerous and have been used to hide viruses .scr Possible virus hidden in a screensaver .bat Possible malicious batch file script .cmd Possible malicious batch file script .cpl Possible malicious control panel item .mhtml Possible Eudora meta-refresh attack Filenames ending with CLSID's {[a-hA-H0-9-]{25,}\} Filename trying to hide its real extension Examples: A977FF0C-8757-4E76-8533-482F91946233 000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 Filenames with lots of contiguous white space in them. Filename contains lots of white space Deny all other double file extensions. This catches any hidden filenames. Examples: .txt.pif .doc.pif .doc.com .txt.exe

There are two ways to access webmail. You can actually login to webmail without first logging into cPanel by simply typing the following into your browser: "http://yourdomain.com/webmail/ " (replace your domain with your actual domain name.) This tutorial will teach you how to use webmail from within cPanel. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel". On your main cPanel page, scroll down to the section named Mail, and click on the Webmail icon. This will take you to the main Web Mail page. Click on the icon called Go To Webmail Login. You will find three webmail programs to choose from. You can select from Neomail, Horde or SquirrelMail. This tutorial will look at SquirrelMail. All three programs are very similar in how they process mail. Click the SquirrelMail icon. This will take you to the main screen of your account, and shows you the contents of the main Inbox. In the top menu, you will find a button called Options. Click on the button, and it will take you to a screen where you are given several options for configuring the way your webmail displays for you. Some of the options include Folder Preferences, Display Preferences, Personal Information, and others.

Next to Options, you will find Folders. Clicking that tab takes you to a screen where you can create folders and subfolders to organize and store email messages. You can also rename and delete folders in this area.

You can create as many folders and subfolders as you wish, whatever meets your needs. They will display in the left hand column. The next item in the menu is Addresses. Click on the link, and it will take you to the SquirrelMail Personal Address Book which you can use to store commonly used email addresses. After filling in the blanks, click on the Add address button, and the contact will be added to your address book. Next up is Compose. This is the Link to select to send an email. After clicking the link, you will get a blank email form. To send it to someone whose address is in your Personal Address Book, click on the Addresses button, and select the person, or people you wish to send the email to. There are check boxes to indicate whether they should be put in the To line, or the Cc (Carbon copy) line, or Bcc (Blind carbon copy) field. Once you choose a name, and select a field, click the Use Addresses button. This takes you back to the email blank, where your recipient is automatically inserted into the field you selected. Now fill in the rest of the details, such as Subject and Enter the email message in the large box. Scroll down and click the send button. That completes the composing and sending of an email message. To view your messages, look at the left hand column. If the Inbox is highlighted, it will have a number after it. That is the number of messages you have in your box. Click on Inbox, and open it up. Your messages will be listed by who sent them, date sent, and subject. If the message is junk, and you wish to delete it, click in the small check box in front of the message. Then Click the Delete button. To move a message to a different folder, mark the check box in front of the message. Go up the pull-down menu and select the folder you wish to move the message into. Then click on the Move button. When you are finished with Webmail you should always exit by signing out. The link to Sign Out is in the upper right corner. This will take you to a confirmation screen that will verify that you have signed out of Webmail. This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to use Webmail, specifically SquirrelMail. You can now return to your main cPanel page. Remember, you do not have to login to cPanel to access your webmail, you can access it by using "http://yourdomain.com/webmail/" (replace "your domain" with your actual domain name) in your browser. You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

This article describes how to configure MailScanner in cPanel. MailScanner is an anti-spam/anti-virus suite consisting of several open source utilities including: MailScanner, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, DCC and Vipuls Razor. Together, these utilities can dramatically reduce the amount of spam and viruses that make it to your email inbox. To configure Mailscanner for your domain(s), please follow the tutorial below. Login to cPanel for your hosting account In the "Mail" section, click on the MailScanner link/icon

This tutorial will teach you how to create POP email accounts. These accounts will be based off of your domain name(s). This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel". Scroll down your main cPanel page to the section called Mail, and click on the icon that says Email Accounts. This will open the main Email Accounts page. If you scroll down, you will see that there is already a POP email account, listed as the Default Email Account. This is the main account that every hosting account comes with, and is the "catch-all" for all un-routed email that comes to your domain. This default account has no quota, and cannot be deleted. We are now going to create a new account. Find the first box in the section Add a New Email Account. If you should have more than one domain in your account- (for example, a parked domain, or add-on domain) be sure to choose the correct domain from the pull-down menu for which you want to create your POP email account.

Once you have selected the correct domain, in the box that says email, you will write the name of the first account you wish to establish. This account can be whatever you choose.

Your name, or an employee name can go here, such as Bob or Fred, or Nancy or you may put in a department name, such as sales, accounting, or customerservice. It should be written as one word, with no spaces. Give the account a password that you can remember, and enter it again to verify it.

If it is too weak, it will not be accepted, and you will be prompted to try again. A strong password is very important to protect your email from hackers. So now you have your email account - something@yourdomain.whatever (.com, .net, .org, etc). Now you need to decide how much space of your hosting package you are going to dedicate to your mail. You have the option to set a quota limit of space. If you give it a set limit of a certain number of MB, and the box is full, you will get warnings to clean it out. You may also leave it as unlimited, but if you don't remember to check and empty it off the server, you run the risk of using all your server space. After setting the quota, click on create account and you a have completed your first email account. Click on the Go Back button, and you will see your new address listed, along with a list of actions that you may perform on that account. You can change your password, change the mail quota, Delete the account entirely or even access webmail here. You can also configure an email client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc.). After creating your first account, repeat for as many accounts as your plan allows. Remember to record the passwords somewhere safe so that you will be able to access the email for reading later. When you are done, click on the home icon in the upper left corner to return to your cPanel. This is the end of the tutorial. As always, if using a public computer, remember to close your cPanel by clicking on Logout rather than just closing the browser window.

This tutorial will teach you how to create an auto responder. You can use auto responders to send a message back automatically to anyone who sends an email to a certain account. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel". On your cPanel main page, scroll down to the section named Mail. Click on the icon marked Auto Responders. This will take you to the main auto responder page. Click on the Add auto responder link. In the blank box marked email, enter the name of the account to which you are adding the AutoResponder. CAUTION: If you have more than one domain, such as a parked domain, make sure you are setting up the auto responder in the correct domain. On the from line, enter the name you would like to have appear on the auto message email. The subject line is the subject of the auto response email. You may enter a subject, or just leave the default setting. The next option is character set, which should be left at default, or possibly choose ASCII for most normal purposes.

By default, the message will be in plain text. You have the option of sending it in HTML by checking the box marked "This message contains HTML".

Enter the text of your auto response in the body box, and when you are done click on the create/modify button. This will take you to a screen that shows you that your auto responder has been successfully created. Click on the Go Back Link, and you will see your new auto responder listed.

Here you can edit it, or delete it completely. You can create additional auto responders. Click the HOME link in the upper left corner to return to the cPanel main page. This ends the tutorial. You now know how to create an auto responder in cPanel. You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

This tutorial will teach how to set up email forwarding, which is sometimes called an email redirect. Forwarders allow you to send a copy of all mail from one email address to another. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel". On the main page of your cPanel, scroll down to the Mail Section, and click on the icon called Forwarders. This will take you to the Forwarders screen, where you will click the button called Add Forwarders. This will take you to a screen that begins with Address. Enter the prefix of the address you wish to forward. If you have more than one domain on this account, such as a parked domain or an add-on domain, make sure you are creating the forward on the correct domain. In the next box enter the email address where you want these emails forwarded to. Click the Add Forwarder button, and that is all there is to it! It will take you to the confirmation screen where you can verify that the correct address is being forwarded to the place you wish it to go.

Now, email sent to the original email address will automatically be redirected (or forwarded) to the new address of your choice.

Click the Go Back button. You will see your forwarder listed. If you need to delete the forwarder, just click on the Delete button under the Functions heading. If you wish to create new or additional forwarders, click on the Add Forwarders button.

In addition to setting up email forwarders, you can also set up domain forwarders. This means that all the email sent to any address within a domain would be forwarded to a specific email address. You would do it basically the same way, just start by clicking on the Add Domain Forwarder button. You may now click on the HOME link, and return to the main cPanel page. This ends the tutorial on email forwarders (redirects). You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

This tutorial will teach how to trace an email address. This feature allows you to view how the mail server will treat a message when sending to or delivering to a specific address. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel". On the main page of your cPanel, scroll down to the Mail section, and click on the icon named Email Delivery Route. This will take you to a screen where you can test any email address by tracing it's route from this server. This tool is especially handy if you are having trouble sending an email to a specific address. You can check to see where the problem might be. Enter an email address in the box, and click on Show Route. That's it...the route of the address is now shown. From your cPanel, you can look for problems. You can see if a problem is with your server, or on the other end where the destination email address is located. Click the Go Back, and then the HOME in the upper left corner to return to the cPanel main page.

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to check an email address by performing a trace from within your cPanel.

You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

This issue is typically caused by your ISP blocking port "25" on their network for residential accounts. Our servers are configured to also accept SMTP (outgoing) mail connections on port "587". Try editing your email account settings for the SMTP (outgoing) mail connection to use port "587" first. If this does not work, you'll typically need to configure your ISP's mail server for your SMTP (outgoing) mail server in your email account settings.

If you cannot send email and are using Verizon FIOS or High Speed Internet services that use dynamic IP addresses, please see the following details provided from the verizon website: If you want immediate step-by-step instructions, visit change my port settings to 587 now. What is outbound port 25 blocking? Outbound port 25 blocking is a network configuration change that will prevent computers on the Verizon network from connecting to servers outside of our network. Servers outside the Verizon network use a method commonly employed to send unauthenticated, unsolicited e-mail or “spam”. Why is Verizon blocking outbound port 25? The majority of spam (unsolicited email) on the Internet is caused by malicious software viruses that take control of infected computers. These viruses direct the infected machines to send email through port 25. Verizon takes spam very seriously. Verizon blocks outgoing connections on port 25 to prevent infected computers from being used by spammers to send unsolicited email. Outbound port 25 blocking is a standard industry method to control spam.

When will outbound port 25 blocking be implemented? We will begin implementing outbound port 25 blocking in the first quarter of 2009. Will outbound port 25 blocking apply to all Verizon broadband customers? Outbound port 25 blocking will be applied to FIOS and High Speed Internet services that use dynamic IP addresses.

If you subscribe to a static IP address service, you will not be affected.

Do I have a dynamic IP address? If you have standard residential or business FIOS / High Speed Internet service, you have a dynamic IP address. Static IP packages are sold as an upgraded service. Will I be impacted by port 25 blocking? If you have a dynamic IP address and you use a third party email account to send email from a desktop client such as Outlook®, Outlook Express® or similar programs, you may be affected and should continue to read this notice. If you are using email provided as part of your VErizon service or a web-based email account from another provider, you will not be affected. How do I determine if I am using a third party email account? If your email address is not part of your Verizon FiOS or High Speed Internet Service, and it does NOT end with @verizon.net, you are using a third party account. Do I have to change my Verizon.net email account settings? No. Subscribers using Verizon email services will not be impacted. I am using a third party email account that I access using my web browser. Will I be affected? No. Web-based email services will not be impacted. I am using a third party email account. I also use a desktop client to manage my email. What must I do to continue using my third party service? You have three options: Change your email client to send email using port 587. Click step-by-step instructions to change your port settings now. Use web based email services. Web based e-mail is unaffected by port 25 blocking. Check with your e-mail provider to see if web based access is available. Upgrade to a FIOS or High Speed Internet account with static IP addressing. Business customers may subscribe to static IP addressing.

MailScanner FAQs This list of Frequently Asked Questions is provided to help you understand our Mail Scanning Service. Will spam be deleted before I retrieve my email? No email is deleted from your mailbox, unless you configure it to do so through the cPanel control panel. Any email reported by the system as spam will have the subject line modified and header records added (tagged) to indicate them so that you can automatically filter them from your inbox and place them in a separate folder so that you can check them at a later time. instructions for Outlook Express instructions for Outlook 2002/XP instructions for Outlook 2003 instructions for Outlook 2007 instructions for Outlook 2010 You can configure MailScanner to delete email marked as Spam and/or Definitely Spam for you, but beware of the issues in the following answers to spam related questions. Should I tell you about incorrectly tagged spam? Not unless it is an email from someone you regularly receive email from. The simplest thing to do would be to add an extra inbox rule in your email client to keep email from them in your inbox (see the above links for details for your specific email client).

Alternatively, you can add them to your whitelist in the cPanel MailScanner configuration. Will all spam be detected? No.

All the email is scanned and assigned a score based on the likelihood that an email is spam. Thresholds (low scoring and high scoring spam) are used to determine whether an email should be tagged as spam: it is important that this is done to help avoid false-positives and false-negatives.

Is all email tagged as spam, spam? Not necessarily. The system is not foolproof and there will be instances where legitimate email is tagged as spam and where spam is not tagged as such. This is why all email is delivered by default, so you can filter them email in your email client and check through the spam to ensure there is no email that you actually need. I don't need (spam/virus) checking, can I only have email scanned for one? Yes, you can configure the service to either scan for viruses, spam or both. Will viruses be deleted before I retrieve my email? Yes. All emails and file attachments will be scanned for viruses. If one is found, the virus is removed from the email before it is delivered to your mailbox, a text file attachment will be added to the email notifying you of the virus infection. Removed viruses and dangerous file attachments removed from email may be stored in a quarantine area on the server for 30 days. You can request the file from quarantine as described in the text file attachments, or , preferably ask the sender to resend the file in a zip archive. Will all viruses be detected? No system can guarantee 100% detection, though nearly all infected files and dangerous file attachmentsshould be detected using this service. The service scans all email received and sent through the server to help ensure that you do not accidentally start spreading a virus yourself. Do I still need a virus scanner on my computer? Yes! Not only can the service not guarantee that all email viruses will be detected, there are many other ways that your computer can become infected. You should always install an anti-virus solution on every computer and ensure that it is constantly kept up to date. How do I know whether and email has a virus or is a spam? There are two methods used to identify these emails to you. Firstly, the subject line of the affected email will be prefixed with one of the following: {Disarmed} - indicates that the email contained html tags that are considered dangerous, e.g. iframe and form tags {Virus?} - indicates that the email contained a virus and has had the attachment removed. {Filename?} - indicates that the email contained a dangerous file attachment which has been removed. {Spam?} - indicates that the email is likely to be spam - you should filter these emails into a separate folder in your email client. {Definitely Spam?} - indicates that the email is almost definitely spam because it got a very high detection score - you should filter these emails into a separate folder in your email client. Secondly, additional headers are added to the email: X-___________-VirusCheck: Found to be clean - indicates that the email passed the virus scanning tests. X-___________-VirusCheck: Found to be infected - indicates that email email contained a virus which has been removed. X-___________-SpamCheck: spam - indicates that the email is likely to be spam and contains information on how the score was reached. X-___________-SpamScore: ssssss - indicates the spam score for the email. Each s represents 1 point, so sssss indicates a score of 5. The service has a default threshold of 5 for {Spam?} and 20 for {Definitely Spam?} Can the system simply delete all email marked as spam? We advise against this as it is possible that legitimate email will be deleted and the sender will never know that you didn't receive it. We recommend filtering the email in your email client and placing it in a separate folder so that you can check through it in your own time. See the links at the top of this page for configuring email rules for the various email clients. If you're happy that email marked as {Spam?}, and/or more suitably {Definitely Spam?} you can then configure MailScanner to delete that email. Another alternative is to have all email marked as {Spam?}, and/or more suitably {Definitely Spam?} delivered to a specific email address. For example, spam@mydomain.com. How do I configure my email software to filter spam into a separate folder? You should create a separate folder in your email client called Spam. You should then create an inbox rule to place any email containing the strings {Spam?} or {Definitely Spam?} into that folder. instructions for Outlook Express instructions for Outlook 2002/XP instructions for Outlook 2003 instructions for Outlook 2007 instructions for Outlook 2010 What can I do to prevent receiving spam? Have a look at the self-help checklist here.

Here is a list of things you can do to help prevent receiving spam: Do not use a catchall email account on your domain(s). Only list aliases and POP accounts that you actually use. This stops the frequent spams that fire off emails to a list of names on a domain. Obfuscate or hide your email addresses on your website, i.e. replace them with JavaScript "trick" email addresses, or, switch to web forms for initial contact, rather than displaying an email address. Never, ever, click on any links in any spam - especially not to "unsubscribe". All this does is confirm to the spammer that they have a "live" address. Configure your client to read any incoming emails in plain-text, never html. Html spam emails contain links to graphics and scripts on spammers sites, confirming your email address. If you are using Outlook XP or 2003 you can disable viewing in html, instructions are given here: http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/plain_text.htm

When Mailscanner scans your email, if it finds a problem, it may (depending upon your MailScanner settings�in cPanel) automatically�prepend the subject line of�an affected email with one of the following strings: {Disarmed} - indicates that the email contained html tags that are considered dangerous, e.g. iframe and form tags {Virus?} - indicates that the email contained a virus and has had the attachment removed. {Filename?} - indicates that the email contained a dangerous file attachment which has been removed. {Fraud?}�-�indicates that the email�contained HTML code that was identified as a phishing attack and was disabled by MailScanner. {Spam?} - indicates that the email is likely to be spam - you should filter these emails into a separate folder in your email client. {Definitely Spam?} - indicates that the email is almost definitely spam because it got a very high detection score - you should filter these emails into a separate folder in your email client.

What to do if you get blacklisted or want to be whitelisting with a certain ISP. If you have been blacklisted, the next step is to contact the ISP in question, and request to be removed from their blacklist (delisted).

They only filter to trash or junk mail. If they get only a few they will filter all email from your account. They will also filter if they detect you are sending to many non-existent accounts, since this is a characteristic of spammers. If you use your own domain name as your FROM EMAIL ADDRESS, you can set up SPF records under your domain that will improve delivery to Hotmail. Hotmail uses senderID to accept mail and require that you set up spf records on the domain you use for your FROM email address. You will need to contact your host and ask them if they publish SPF records and are compatible with Microsoft's Sender ID initiative. Unfortunately, this is the only way to ensure delivery to Hotmail due to Hotmail's policies. Once you have set up spf records, let Hotmail know by sending them an email at senderid@microsoft.com with your domain name in the body. We will then configure your StreamSend account accordingly. If you are not sending from your own domain, our only recommendation is that you wait 48 hours or more between sends. Hotmail may remove your account from their filtering if they do not receive complaints within a certain span of time.

This tutorial is to help you get started when you are ready to start transferring your domain from 000domains.com to another domain registrar. There are several things that must take place before you can begin to transfer your domain name. Once they are done, you can begin the domain name transfer at the home web site for the new domain name registrar where you want your domain name transferred to.

The purpose of this tutorial is to help you get started when you are transferring your domain from enom.com to another domain registrar. There are several things that must take place before you can begin to transfer your domain name. Once they are done, you can begin the domain name transfer at the home web site for the new domain name registrar where you want your domain name transferred to.

This tutorial assumes that you have a domain already registered with enom.com, and we are going to start on their home page.

The first thing you must do is make sure the domain name is not locked, or being prevented from being transferred out of the current registry. Begin by clicking on the log-in link in the right hand corner. Enter your enom.com account username and password in the boxes. Now click on the log-in button. You are now logged in to your enom.com account. Click on the Registered domains link in the right hand list. This opens a screen with all your domains.

By the text "Manage Domain" there is a pull-down list. Select General Settings from the menu. This opens an Edit General Settings screen. Click on Disable next to Registrar-Lock. Scroll down and click on Save. The lock has now been removed from the domain name, so it can now be transferred to another domain registry.

There are several other things that need to be done while you are logged in to your account. You should verify that your Contact Info is correct and up-to-date both at the current registry and the Who-Is. You also should obtain, most likely by email, what is called the EPP code, or the KEY Code, or it may be called a different name. It is the authorization code that allows the registries to permit the transfer of your domain name.

This code needs to be given to your new domain registrar to begin the transfer process. When finished, click the log out button.

You are now ready to visit our web site or contact us to initiate the domain transfer request. This ends this tutorial. You now know how to unlock your domain at its current registrar, if the registrar is enom.com, so that it can be transferred to another domain registry.

To select more than one file, hold down the CTRL key while making your selections. When you are ready to upload, go to the icon menu and locate the upload icon. It is the Green arrow. Click on this icon to start transferring files to the remote server. To download a file from the remote server to your local computer, first select the file or files. Then go to the icon menu, and click the Green Down arrow. The file(s) will now download to your local computer. To close the connection with the remote server, from the icon menu, click on the icon that looks like a plug being unplugged.

This ends this part of the tutorial. You now know how to upload and download files and folders in CuteFTP.

The next part of the tutorial deals with managing those files and folders. You should have CuteFTP running, and be connected to a remote server at this time. let's begin by creating a new folder in the remote server. There are two ways to create a new folder.

In the icon menu at the top, click on the New Folder icon, that looks simply like a folder. This will give you a window called New Folder, with a box for you to type a name for the new folder. When you are done, click OK. The other way is to right click anywhere in the remote server window. This will bring up a menu, and you will select New Folder.

Again, it will bring up the window for you to name the folder. To rename the folder, Right Click the folder, then from the menu, click on Rename. Type the new name in the highlighted box. The folder has now been renamed. Files can be renamed the same way as folders.

To delete a file or folder, first make sure it is highlighted. Then go to the icon menu and locate the big red X, over the remote server window. Click on this to delete. CuteFTP will ask you to confirm that you wish to delete, so click on the Yes button.

That file or folder is now deleted. The next step is to learn how to change permissions. In the remote server window, you need to select the file for which you want to change permissions. Then from the Icon menu, find the Properties icon, which is a sheet of paper with a red check mark. Click on the Properties Icon. This opens the Properties window for the file you selected.

To change permissions, simply enter the new permissions value in the box provided, or check off the appropriate permission boxes. When you are done, click Apply, then click OK. Your permission have now been changed.

This ends this tutorial. You now know how to manage files and folders. You can create folders (directories), delete files and folders, change permissions and rename files and folders in CuteFTP.

With this tutorial, you are going to learn how to upload and download files and folder using FTP Voyager, and then you will learn how to manage those files using the FTP program. We will assume that you already have FTP Voyager on your computer, and it is running, but not yet connected to a remote server. You should already have configured it to connect with your web site. If you have not done this, and you need assistance, please see the tutorial: "Configure your web site in FTP Voyager".

From the drop-down menu, click on New Local Browser. This will open a browser window, and you will see folders and files located on your computer.

The next step is to establish a connection with the remote server. There are two methods. The first method: Under the menu bar at the top of the window, you will see a series of boxes. The first box is called Address. The second box is Login, and the third box is Password. Into the first box, you would enter the remote server name, into the second box enter your FTP username and into the third you enter your FTP password. You then click the Green Arrow button at the end of the Address box.

This will connect you with the remote server. The second method is to select Favorites from the menu bar at the top of the window. Select the folder you created for your web site, and click on it. Then click on the address of the web site. You are now connected using this method.

You now have two open windows. The one the right is the local host, or your local computer. The window on the left is the remote server. The first step to uploading is to establish where on the remote server you are going to upload the files to. You should start by finding public/html, and begin navigating from there, until you find the location for the upload. Now you need to select the files in your local computer (the right window) screen for upload. To select the file, simply highlight name.

To upload multiple files, hold the CTRL key while selecting the files you want to upload. When you are done, click the Upload Icon between the screens to begin the upload. It is a Blue arrow. When the upload is complete, you will see the files listed in the remote server window.

To download a file(s), simply select the file(s) by highlighting them, the same as you did to upload files. Then when you are ready, click on the Download Icon, which is the Blue circle with an arrow between the windows, pointing at the right window. When the download is complete, you will see the files in the right hand window, where they have been successfully downloaded.

You will now learn how to manage files and folders in SmartFTP. The first thing you are going to do is create a new folder on the remote server. Begin by clicking on the New Folder icon, which is located above the left hand window, and looks like an open folder. This will create a new folder in the remote server screen, and you will now need to give it a name. Type a name in the box. To rename a folder, highlight the name. Click on the Rename Icon, which is above the remote server window, to the left of the big red x.

Type the new name in the box by the folder, and it is now renamed. Files can also be renamed this way.

To delete a file or folder, make sure it is highlighted. Now click on the Delete Icon. This is above the remote server window, and is a big red x. SmartFTP will ask you to confirm that you wish to delete the item, so click on the Yes. The folder or file is now deleted.

Now you are going to learn how to change the permissions of a file. First, select the file you wish to change the permissions on in the remote server window by highlighting it. Then click the Properties Icon, above the remote server window. It looks like a page, with a pencil in front of it. This will open the Properties window for the file you selected.

When you are done changing permissions, click on OK. The permissions for the selected file have now been changed.

You can also view the contents of a file on the remote server without having to first download it to your computer. Select a file by highlighting it. Now click the View Icon, which is located above the remote server window. It looks like a page, with a green arrow pointing down. This will open your file for viewing, in a separate window. Close by clicking the x in the upper right corner.

To close the connection to the remote server, click the Disconnect Icon, which is above the remote server window. It looks like a computer with a red x on the cord. The SmartFTP program will ask you to confirm you want to close the Remote Browser. Click on the Yes. You are now disconnected.

This completes this tutorial. You should now know how to upload and download files in the program SmartFTP. You also know how to manage files and folders, by creating new folders, deleting folders, renaming files and folders, changing permissions, viewing files without downloading them, and closing your connection.

This tutorial is going to teach you how to upload your files and folders using the program WS_FTP in the first part. The second part of the tutorial will address how to manage those files once you have them uploaded. For our purposes, you should have your web site configured in WS_FTP. If you do not, please view the tutorial, "Configuring your web site in WS_FTP". You should now have the WS_FTP program running on your computer, but not connected to a remote server at this time.

The main screen consists of two window. The left side window is the local host, or your computer. The right side window is the remote server.

Let's start by uploading, or transferring, files to the remote server from your local computer. In the remote server window, which is blank at this time, click on the Open a Remote Connection link. This will open the Site Manager window, and you will see the connection for your web site that we created listed in the left-side window. Select this, and click on Connect. You now have an open FTP connection between your remote server and your local computer. You now have two windows open.

The left window still displays your local computer files, and the right window displays the remote server files of your web site.

The first step to uploading is to select where in the remote server the files are going to go. By clicking through the folders and files, you should find where you wish to upload to. Usually, you can start at /public/html and work your way out from there until you reach the upload destination. Next, you need to select the file(s) you want to upload from your local computer window. To select, click on the file name. To select more than one file, hold the CTRL (Control) key while selecting files.

When you are ready to upload, Click on the Arrow key between the windows, pointing in the direction of the remote server window. The files are now uploaded, and displayed in the remote server window.To download a file, select the file or files. When ready, click on the Green arrow between the windows pointing toward your local computer window, and the file(s) are now downloaded. They are now listed in your local computer window.

Now let's learn how to manage files in WS_FTP. First we are going to create a new folder (Directory) on the remote server. In the Remote server window, locate the New Folder icon. Click on it. This will open a window called Make Directory. There is a box for you to enter a name for this new folder. Once you have done that, Click OK. The new folder is now visible in the Remote server window. To rename the folder, click on the name. Then Click File in the upper left corner of the main page.

From the drop-down menu, click on Operations. That opens another menu, where you will click on Rename. This opens a window, with a box for the new name. Enter the name and click OK. The Folder has now been renamed. Files can also be renamed the same way.

To Delete a file or folder, make sure it is highlighted. Click File in the upper left corner of the main page. From the drop-down menu, click on Operations. From the next drop-down click on Delete. WS_FTP will ask you to confirm the delete. Click Yes. The file or folder has now been deleted. To change permissions of a file, right click the file you wish to change. From the menu, click on Properties. This brings up the properties window for that file.

To change permissions, either enter the new permissions value in the box, or check the appropriate boxes for Owner, Group and World. When you are finished, click OK.

To close the connection to the remote server, click the disconnect icon at the top of the page. This ends this tutorial. You now know how to upload and download files and folders using WS_FTP. You can manage those files, by creating new folders, renaming files and folders, deleting them, and changing permissions of files.

The purpose of this tutorial is to teach you how to upload and download files, and manage those files and folders using the FTP program WinSCP. We will assume that you have WinSCP running on your computer, and are connected to a remote server at this time. The main screen consists of two windows.

The left window is the local host, or your computer. The right hand window is the remote server, which is your web site, or wherever you connect to.

First let's upload or transfer files from our computer to a remote server. In the left hand window, the local host, select the file(s) you want to upload to the remote server. To select multiple files, hold down the CTRL (Control) key, while selecting your files. Below the windows, locate a list of actions, one of which is F5 Copy. Click Copy.

The Copy window will open, and you will click on Copy again. The files have now been uploaded to the remote server, as you can see in the window.

To download a file from the remote server to the local host, or your local computer, select the file in the right hand window. Then click F5 Copy, which will open the Copy window. Click Copy again. That's all there is to it...the file is now downloaded to the local host, and is able to be viewed in the left hand window. You now know how to upload and download files and folders using the FTP program WinSCP.

The next step to using WinSCP is to learn how to manage files with the program. To Delete a file, first click on the file name and highlight it. In the list of actions at the bottom, Click on F8 Delete. The file is now deleted.

Now let's create a new folder (or directory) on the remote server. In the list of actions below the windows, click on F7 Create Directory. This opens a small Create folder window. In the box, type the name of the new folder, and then click OK. Your folder is now created, and you can see it in the list of folders in the remote server window on the right hand side. To rename a folder, select the folder to be renamed and highlight it. In the menu at the bottom of the windows, click on F2 Rename. Type the new name in place of the old name. The folder is now renamed. Files can also be renamed the same way.

The next thing to manage is permissions. To change permissions, select a file, and make sure it is highlighted. From the menu at the bottom, find and click on F9 Properties. This opens a window that shows the current permissions assigned to that file.

To change permissions, simply enter a check mark in the appropriate box. The Groups are Owner, Group, and Others(World), and the permissions allowed are read, write and execute. You need to decide how much freedom others should have to act upon your file.

After you have checked the boxes you wish to mark, click on OK, and the permissions have been successfully changed.

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to upload and download files and folders using the WinSCP program. You also know how to manage those files and folders, including creating new folders, renaming them, deleting them, and changing permissions.

This tutorial will teach you how to use the File Manager feature in cPanel. File Manager will allow you to perform any FTP or Management functions as required without any special software. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel".

Scroll down to the section called Files, and click on the icon marked File Manager. This will take you to the File Manager interface. You can use the File Manager to upload files to your account, delete files, change file permissions, and several other functions.

On the left side you will find an expandable list of the folders in your account. On the right is a list of all the files and folders within the folder that you select on the left. The public_html folder is where your web site files (things like html pages, gif images, etc) must be placed.

To upload files, click on the folder icon (in the list on the left hand side) of the folder you want to place the upload into. Then click on the Upload icon in the list at the top of the page. This will take you to a page that will show how much space is available for uploads, and give you space to select files to upload.

Click on the Browse button, and look through the files on your computer for the one you wish to upload. When you find it, click on it, and click open.

If you have more files to upload, repeat this. Otherwise, click on the Back sentence at the bottom of the page. This will take you back to the main File Manager page. It will verify that your page(s) have been uploaded successfully.

There are several things you can do with files in the File Manager. Some of them are Delete, Rename, View, Edit and Change Permissions. Each item will bring up a separate screen, that will give you directions to follow to perform the task. Now click the HOME icon in the upper left corner of the page to return to the main cPanel page. This ends the tutorial on the File Manager.

It is a quick and easy way to access and manage your files without having to use an FTP program.

You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

If you have access to the G Suite Admin Console, you can generate the transfer token yourself. Follow the steps below to generate the transfer token:

Go to https://admin.google.com/TransferToken.
Sign in with your G Suite Administrator username and password.
The page automatically generates a token.
Copy the token’s alphanumeric code.
Note: The transfer token is valid for a period of 14 days. After expiry, a new transfer token can be generated from G Suite Admin Console.

From time to time you may need to perform an operation called "TELNET".
You can use TELNET to check connections to certain ports on a server.

To begin you press the "START" button on your browser taskbar, (found in the lower left corner of your browsers screen).
This should bring up your Start Menu.
Find "Run" and enter the letters "CMD" (without the quotes).
Press the button marked "OK".

This will open a black command prompt screen.
on it you will find a small flashing cursor. Leave it where it is.
To run a TELNET on your email to check for connection to sending (SMTP),
Type the following (without the quotes):
"TELNET mail.yourdomain.com 26"
(you can change the port to which ever port you need to check, commonly 25 or 26), then press "ENTER"

You should receive in return a screen something to the effect of:

220-corp.uswdh.com ESMTP Exim 4.69 #1 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 11:38:20 -0400
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.

A return with 220 codes for an smtp TELNET means you have connected to the server.
The exact verbiage you get back will be determined by your host.
Being able to connect to the server means the server is not an issue if you are having a problem sending, areas to look at would be your ISP, your Mail Program, and your Program Settings

You can TELNET to any port you choose, some ports may be blocked your host will direct you.

By default, Vista doesn�t install the Telnet client.
The client is for text-based communication with remote systems.
You can install it by following these steps:

1. Click Start then select Control Panel.

This tutorial will explain the different units of measurement that you might find on a computer.

The bit is the smallest unit of measurement on a computer. There is almost always eight bits in one byte. Very often these two terms are confused with each other. To make it even more confusing, the abbreviation for bit is a lowercase b, while byte is abbreviated with an uppercase B.

Most of the time, a kilobyte refers to 1024 bytes. A megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, and a gigabyte is 1024 megabytes. The next level would be terabytes, or 1024 gigabytes, but hard drives really haven't gotten past that at this point in time.

However, when you are talking about the speed of an internet connection, it is almost always going to be referred to in bits, whether it is kilobits (Kb), megabits (Mb), or gigabits (Gb). So, if the speed of a connection is referred to in megabits, for example, it would be megabits per second, or Mbps.

That means a 100 Mbps connection can transfer 100 megabits every second, which equals about 12.5 megabytes per second.

What is Web Hosting? It is a very important part of the way the Internet works today. To most people, the Internet seems to just work all by itself, but many website owners have come to learn that is not the case at all.

A web hosting service is a type of service provided by thousands of companies that allows individuals and organizations to make their own websites accessible on the World Wide Web, by way of computer servers that are connected to the Internet 24/7.

Web hosts are companies that provide space on a computer system called a server they own or lease for use by their clients, and which are maintained in entire buildings called datacenters.

These datacenters are climate controlled, as well quality and security controlled.

Web hosting give you access to the servers, via the Internet. With that access, you can upload your website to the server. Once it is configured properly, computers around the world will quickly know exactly where to find your website.

There are many different types of web hosting providers, but you have chosen our hosting company based on your own particular needs. Most clients are just starting out, and are enjoying our popular shared hosting plan.

This means you are sharing a server with many other clients� websites, but you are still getting the quality and reliability for the cheapest cost.

This ends this tutorial. We have touched briefly on the subject of what is web hosting.

This tutorial will look at the definition of IP addresses and help you decide if you need a Dedicated IP. An IP Address is an Internet Protocol Address.

It is a unique number address that every server that has access to the Internet is required to have in order for other computers on the WWW to identify the server. To a computer, it is like a phone number.

When you signed up for services from our hosting company, you were given an IP address to use until your domain name propagated.

That IP address is how computers from all around the world will find your website, identifying it by the numbers. Every server is running a domain name server (DNS) at all times, which works like a switchboard for all the incoming requests for websites.

The server can identify your site based on the IP numbers, and will then fetch it for the browser requesting it. The DNS server is responsible for informing all the other computers on the Internet about your website address and domain name. It keeps track of which domain names correspond to which IP addresses.

The IP address you were given is probably a shared one. You will usually share one with many other domain names.

The important thing is that you have an IP address assigned to your domain, and that all the right nameservers know what it is. You can also purchase a dedicated IP Address from us, and that will be your address alone. But do you need a dedicated IP? Most websites don't.

The most common reason that a website would need a dedicated IP is if it requires an SSL certificate for operating secure connections. Usually these are necessary if you are operating a business that processes transactions over the Internet. Any eCommerce site should have an SSL Certificate, and therefore would require a dedicated IP.

This concludes the tutorial about IP's. You now know a little more about IP's and dedicated IP's and who should have one.

This tutorial is going to teach how to manage the raw access logs. Raw Access Logs allow you to see who has accessed your site without the use of graphs, charts or other graphics. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel".

On your cPanel main page, scroll down to the section called Logs, and click on the icon named Raw Access Logs.
This takes you to the Raw Access Logs Main page, which is where you tell the system how to manage the raw access log files that are generated daily for your account.

The first check box will tell your system to archive the logs every month, and the second asks to have the previous months logs deleted at the end of each month. If you mark either check box, click on the Save button. This will take you to a confirmation screen.

If you check both boxes, now the raw access logs will be archived at the end of every month in the home directory, and the previous months will be deleted. Click on Go Back.

Scroll Down on the page. You will find a list of all available Raw Access Logs that you can download and use in a statistics program for analysis. Click on the log you wish to download, and a pop- up will open. Click OK to download these logs. That downloads the logs, and you can now open them in a statistical program for analysis.

You can now return to the main cPanel page by clicking on HOME in the upper left corner. This ends this tutorial. You now know how to archive, delete and download your raw access logs.

You can now exit cPanel by closing your browser, or by using the Logout button in the upper right corner. Remember, if you are using a public computer, ALWAYS Logout of cPanel before closing due to security reasons.

This tutorial is going to help you become more familiar with databases and phpMyAdmin. We are going to assume that you are logged in to phpMyAdmin.

The main screen is divided into two screens. In the blue section on the left, you can see any databases you already have listed, and you have direct access to them. A database consists of one or more tables, and it is in the tables that database information is recorded. In the blue screen, below any databases you have, it will list any tables in those databases.

If you click on a database name on the left hand side, the right hand screen opens up with information about that the tables contained in that database, as well as giving you the option of performing several actions. In the Action section, it allows you the following actions you can perform on each individual table.

You can Browse a table to see the individual records. You can see the Structure of a table, and perform certain actions. You can Search for specific keywords in a table. You can Insert new rows (or fields) in the table. You can Delete the contents of a table, or with the big red X you can Delete an entire table completely.

There is a list of action links at the top of the window.

You can Click on the link Structure in the upper left corner to view the database structure. The next link is SQL, and it will open a SQL Query window for entering direct queries to the database. The next link is Search, which you can click to perform a search.

The following link is Query, which also opens a SQL Query window, but provides an easier step-by-step way to make queries. The next link is Export, which you can use to export databases to your local computer. The Import link will import previously exported databases.

The Operations link can do a number of other operations, like creating new tables, and copying or renaming databases.

If you return to the blue section, and click on a table name, the white screen will now show you the structure of the database table. It will list all the tables fields, along with the type of field, attributes, and other properties. If you scroll down, it will tell you which field is the Primary Key field.

It provides lots of other information about the table, and has the same action links at the top of the screen that the database did.

In the blue screen, right below the phpMyAdmin name, there is a row of icons. If your want further help with SQL you can click the icon that is for Documentation. It is a box, with SQL inside it. The box with the question mark will get you assistance with phpMyAdmin by clicking on it. The middle box, with the red SQL is another way of opening the SQL Query window. The icon with the Exit and arrow will log you out of phpMyAdmin. Clicking on the house returns you to the main screen.

This is the end of this tutorial. You should be more familiar with phpMyAdmin, and what you can use it to do. Be sure to check out the other tutorials in the series for more detailed instructions on specific actions.

This tutorial is going to teach you how to copy a database table with phpMyAdmin. For the purposes of the tutorial, we will assume that you are logged into phpMyAdmin already. We are going to use a database with one table for an example in this tutorial. The phpMyAdmin page is divided into two main parts.

The left blue screen is where you will find your database listed, with any tables of that database listed below it. The right hand side is a large white screen, where the actions take place.

Let's learn how to copy a database table with phpMyAdmin. Select the database table you wish to copy by clicking on it. This will bring up all the table details in the right hand screen. From the menu at the top of the screen, select and click on the Operations button. This will bring up a page of different operations you can perform on a table.

If you scroll down the page, you will see a box called "Copy table to (database.table)." When you are copying a table, you can choose to copy one of three ways. You can copy the table structure only, copy the data only, or you can copy both the table structure and data.

This is where you will find your three copy options. Select one of the options.

Copying a table actually creates a new table altogether that is identical to the one that we are copying. So now we need to give a name to the new table. Enter the name for the new table in the box, in the blank field. When you are done, click Go.

A new screen will open in the right hand window. It will confirm that the copy was successful, and what the name of the copy is. The copied table will now be showing in the left hand window, below the database, as a second table with the new name. This is the end of the tutorial. You know how to create a copy of a database table using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is going to teach you how to create a table in a database with phpMyAdmin. We are going to assume you are already logged in to phpMyAdmin, and are on the main screen.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we are going to create a table in a database that has no tables at this time.

Let's start by selecting the database in the blue section that needs a table. Click on it. In the right hand window, a panel will open. It is to Create a new table.

There is a blank box, and you need to enter a Name for the new table. Then in the next box, enter the number of fields this new table is going to have. When you are ready, click Go.

Now a new set of boxes will open. These are the blank fields for your new table. You need to enter the details of each field within the new table in the first column.

In the second column, you select the type of entry, such as interger, or decimal, or text, etc.. The third column is for the length of the entry, or how many characters long. You may also want to select a certain field to be Primary key.

That is one that will be automatically filled in (auto_increment) when new entries are added to the table. This is often times an id field, which auto-populates with an id number. To make it Primary key, select the first icon after the Extra box, and mark the radio button. The icon is a page with a key in front of it. Finish entering names and information for the rest of your fields. For example, if you were going to make one field Name, that would be a Char for type (character). And you would want to make sure you left enough length for any name that might be entered, so length might be something like 100. Telephone in the field would again be a Char type, and you would want to make the length about 50. When you are done, click on the Save Button.

The screen will now show you the table you have created, and the SQL Query. In the blue window, the table will now be listed under the database.

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to create a table within a database using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is going to teach you how to delete fields from database tables using phpMyAdmin. We are going to assume that you are already logged into phpMyAdmin.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use a database with one table for an example. The database will be listed in the left hand window, which is blue, with the table listed below it. The right hand window is where all the activity will take place.

Let's get started on deleting fields from database tables. Begin by selecting the table(from the left hand window) that you wish to delete fields from, and clicking on it.

That will bring up all the details about the table in the right hand window. You will see a list, in chart form, of the fields contained in the table. Find the field you wish to delete. In front of the field name, there is a check box.

Mark this box. Then below the list you will find the Delete Icon. It is a big red X. Click on it. A screen will ask you to confirm that you really want to delete (or Drop) the Field? Click Yes to confirm. Now the window will show the list of table fields, and the deleted field is gone. A message also confirms that your action was successful.

This is the end of this tutorial. You now know how to delete a field from database tables using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is to teach you about specific operations in phpMyAdmin. We are going to learn how to delete a table in a database with phpMyAdmin. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will assume that you are already logged into phpMyAdmin.

For this tutorial, we will be using a database with two tables for the example. In the left hand window, the blue screen, you will see the name of the database, with the names of the tables listed below that name.

Now let's learn how to delete one of the tables. Start by selecting the table you wish to delete in the blue window, by clicking on it. This will bring up all the table data in the big window on the right hand side.

There is a list of fields that are in the table. You can delete individual fields from the table by selecting them in this list, using the check box at the beginning of each field. You would then click on the Delete icon, which is located below the fields table, a large red X. That would delete the selected field.

You are now going to learn how to delete the entire table and everything in it. In the menu at the top of the white screen, click on the Drop button. A pop-up will ask you to confirm that you really want to drop the table.

If you are sure, click on the OK button to confirm. The screen will now show a confirmation that the table has been dropped, and the table will no longer be listed in the databases list of tables. (This list is in the blue screen)

Click on the Home icon on the left hand side, and this will take you to the main screen. This is the end of this tutorial. You now know how to delete tables from a database using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is to teach you how to export databases and tables with phpMyAdmin.

We will assume that you are currently logged into phpMyAdmin, and for the purpose of this tutorial, we will use a database with two tables as our example. The phpMyAdmin main screen is broken into two sections. The left hand side is blue, and this is where you will find your database listed. Below the database, you will see the names of the tables that are in the database.

The right hand side is a large white window, and this is where the activity takes place.

Let's start learning how to export tables and databases. To export a database, the first step is to click on it in the left hand panel.

This will open the right hand panel to a screen showing the details of the database. Now, from the menu at the top of the right hand side, click on the Export button. This will open up a new screen, called View dump (schema) of database. There are many options listed for exporting the database. One option is to export the entire database in SQL format, so that it can easily be imported later.

This is an excellent way to back-up your database. To use this option, scroll down almost to the bottom of the box. On the left hand side, you will see a radio button and the letters SQL. Click on this.

Make sure you go back to the top of the box and check any options you want before you move on with the export. For example, you might wish to uncheck or check things like : Add Auto_Increment Value, or Add Into Comments, Creation/Update/Check Dates.

When you are ready, scroll down, and check the Save as file box. Then click the Go button.

You will get a pop-up asking you what to do with the file that you have chosen to open. Save to disk should be checked. Click on OK. That completes the export. The database has now been exported to your local computer.

If you only want to export a table, begin by clicking on the table name in the left hand side.

That will open a window showing the table details on the right hand side. Again, click on the Export button from the menu at the top of the window. That will open the View dump (schema) of table screen. You are going to check the SQL again, and make sure all the options you wish to mark are checked. Scroll to the bottom, and click on the Save as file. Then click on Go. The pop-up will ask what you want to do with the file.

Save to Disk should be checked. Click on OK. That completes the export of the table. It has now been exported to your local computer.

Remember that exporting a database will export all the tables, providing they are all selected, but exporting tables only exports the selected table from within a database. This ends this tutorial. You now know how to export databases and tables to your local computer using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is to teach you how to import databases and tables with phpMyAdmin. We will assume that you are currently logged into phpMyAdmin, and for the purpose of this tutorial, we will use a database with two tables as our example. The phpMyAdmin main screen is broken into two sections.

Let's begin by clicking on the database in the panel on the left hand side. This will open a window showing the details of the database. You are now going to import a saved copy of one of the tables. You learned in another tutorial, "Exporting databases and tables with phpMyAdmin" how to export a copy of your data to your local computer to save it.

It is a good idea to do this in case the data should become corrupted in your database, and you need to reload it.

let's say for the purpose of this tutorial that one of your tables has become corrupt.

The first thing you need to do is delete the table you are replacing from your database. In the right hand window, click on the box at the beginning of the table row, and then click on the delete icon, which is the red X. A pop-up will ask you to confirm the delete. Click OK, and the table has been deleted. The screen will now show a confirmation that the table has been deleted.

Now you need to import the saved copy of your database, which includes the deleted table. Click on the Import button at the top of the page. This will open the Import screen. The first box is File to Import. The first line asks the location of the text file. Click on the Browse button.

This will open your local computer file upload screen. Find the database, and click on it. Click Open. This takes you back to the Import screen, where you need to click on the Go button.

The database will now import. The right window will confirm the success of the import. This is the end of this tutorial. You now know how to import a database with phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is going to teach about the program phpMyAdmin, and how to Insert fields into database tables using phpMyAdmin. We will assume that you are already logged into phpMyAdmin. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will be using a database with two tables for our example.

Let's begin by locating the database name in the blue section on the left of the phpMyAdmin screen. Below that is the names of the two tables in our database. Select one of the tables by clicking on it. This will bring up all the details of the table in the white screen on the right hand side.

Below the table with the fields in it, you will see a section that begins with Print view. The next line is Add with a blank box for Fields. Place the number of fields you wish to add in the box. Then you need to choose where to add it.

At End of Table, At Beginning of Table, or After with a pull-down menu, showing the fields you already have in your table.

You select where you want to place the field by marking the radio button. When you are ready, click on the Go button.

This will take you to a screen where you need to give your new field values and types. For example, if you added an address field, the field would simply be address. The type would be CHAR (or character) and you might want to give it a length of at least 100, so that any length address would fit in the field.

When you are done, click on the Save button. That will take you to a screen showing that the table has been altered, and giving the new list of table fields.

Click the Home button, below the phpMyAdmin name. This will return you to the main screen. This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to add fields in a table using phpMyAdmin.

Let's learn how to Manage MySQL Databases with phpMyAdmin. This tutorial will assume that you are logged into your cPanel. If you are having trouble doing that, please see the tutorial named "How to Login to cPanel".

On the main cPanel page, scroll down to the section called Databases, and click on the icon named phpMyAdmin. This takes you to the phpMYAdmin main screen. On the top menu bar, click on the SQL tab.

This will give you several new windows. One is called Location of the text file. Click on the Browse button to search for a database to upload. Once you find the one you want, click on it,

click on Open, and it will take you back to the window you started at. To complete the upload, click Go. When the upload is successfully completed, you will get a screen confirming that, and listing any tables found.

In the left hand column, any tables will be listed under the name of the database you have downloaded.

If you click on the table in the left hand column, the right hand window opens with all the details of the table. To save this to your personal computer,

click the Export in the upper menu bar. Scroll down the new window until you come to the section that says Save as File. Select the check box. Then click Go. A file download screen will open asking you if you want to save this file.

Click Save. In the next window (Save as), you will decide which file folder you wish to save it in. Select the correct one, and click Save. When it is done, a window will open confirming your download is complete. Click Close.

Any time you need help using phpMyAdmin or MySQL, you will find some links you can click. They are located in the left hand column, of the phpMyAdmin pages.

Click the Exit button (located next to the help links on the left hand column) to sign out of phpMyAdmin and return to the main cPanel page. This is the end of the tutorial. You know how to use phpMyAdmin to manually manage a MySQL Database.

This tutorial is to teach you how to run SQL queries on a database with phpMyAdmin. We will assume that you are currently logged into phpMyAdmin, and for the purpose of this tutorial, we will use a database with two tables as our example. The phpMyAdmin main screen is broken into two sections.

The left hand side is blue, and this is where you will find your database listed. Below the database, you will see the names of the tables that are in the database.

The right hand side is a large white window, and this is where the activity takes place.

To run SQL queries on a database, the first thing you need to do is click the on the name of the database table that you want to run a SQL query on. This opens the table details in the right hand window. As you learned in another tutorial, "Deleting fields from database tables with phpMyAdmin", you can delete a field from a table by checking the box in the field row, and clicking on the Delete icon (the big red X below the table). In this tutorial, you are going to learn how to delete a field using pure SQL commands.

Go to the right hand side and click on the database name. This will bring up the details for the database in the right hand window. Click the SQL button at the top of the window. This opens a box, titled "Run SQL query/queries on database.

You will then need to type the SQL command to delete the field from the table into the box. It would look something like this: ALTER TABLE 'this is where the name of the table goes' DROP 'this is where the name of the field goes' . Then when you are done, you click on Go.

A pop-up will ask if really want to perform the action. Click OK. The command screen will then confirm that your SQL query has been successful. You have just deleted a field from a table.

For more information about SQL syntax, visit the MySQL documentation available here. Just click on the icon under the phpMyAdmin name, that has the red SQL on it. This is the end of this tutorial. You now know how to run a SQL query on a database using phpMyAdmin.

This tutorial is about searching through a database using phpMyAdmin. We will assume that you are logged in to phpMyAdmin. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use a database with one table for an example.

Let's start by looking at the main screen of phpMyAdmin. The left hand panel is where you will find your database listed, and below the database will be any tables in that database. On the right hand side, in a large white screen, is where the actions take place.

At the top of that screen, click on the Search button. This opens a search window. In the blank, you need to enter the words or values you want to search for in the database.

You can refine the search several ways. One method you can use is to select a radio button that limits the search scope, such as all words, or the exact phrase, etc.. If you had more than one table, you could limit the search to specific tables, by using the scrolling list. When you are ready, click Go to start the search.

The next screen will show you if there are any matches to your search, and if there are, where they are located. You can now click on the Browse button at the end of the results, and it will show you the match. You can now make changes to that record if you wish. This is the end of this tutorial. You now know how to use the Search feature in phpMyAdmin.

Installing an SSL Certificate in cPanel requires that the domain be assigned a dedicated IP to begin with, so check your cPanel or with your hosting company as to your IP status. Secondly in order to use the "SSL Manager" Feature in cPanel a Dedicated IP is required, So check with your hosting company to provide you with a Dedicated IP, the cost of the IP and the activation of the "SSL Manager" in cPanel if it is not already in place.

Taking the next step now that everything is place we will click on the "SSL/TLS Manager" icon located on the cPanel "Security" panel. This first step needs to be completed BEFORE you can purchase the SSL certificate from your Hosting Company or SSL Provider.

Click on the link below "Private Keys (KEY)", on the next page go down the page until you find "Generate a New Key". In the empty "Host" field enter your domain as you would like it for the SSL Certificate. NOTE: You have a choice of selecting your SSL with or without the "WWW" preceding the domain name. This selection is important as an SSL will ONLY work correctly under the format that you select here.

If you choose to use https://www.yourdomain.com, your ssl will error if you use it as https://yourdomain.com (without the "www") or the other way around. Most web owners and users select to use the SSL with the "WWW" in the cert name. Change the KEY SIZE to 2048 and Click The Generate Button. You will then go to a page displaying your Private Keys, While this will be passed on to the next step "Certificate Signing Request (CSR)" it is a good idea to copy the generated key in the top box and paste in notepad until you have completed the ssl set-up.

Copy EVERYTHING in the box including the "Begin and End Comment Lines". Click "Home" at the top of page.

Now Re-Click the "SSL/TLS Manager" icon. On the Manager Page Click on the link below "Certificate Signing Request (CSR)", you must generate a CSR to take to the SSL provider that will issue the certificate. To Generate a new CSR make sure your domain name as you created it in the Private Key is visible in the HOST field dropdown. Continue by filling out the information requested.

NOTE: You have a choice of selecting your SSL with or without the "WWW" preceding the domain name. This selection is important as an SSL will ONLY work correctly under the format that you select here. If you choose to use https://www.yourdomain.com, your ssl will error if you use it as https://yourdomain.com (without the "www") or the other way around.

Most web owners and users select to use the SSL with the "WWW" in the cert name. Continue to fill in the information as requested and Click the "Generate Button". On the next page you will be presented with your "SSL Certificate Signing Request". COPY ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE TOP BOX and paste it into that Notepad you saved the KEY in before.

You will need to take this CSR to the issuing Authority of your SSL or to your hosting company for their assistance.

Once you receive your approved and completed SSL certificate from your SSL provider login or return to the SSL Manager and Click on the manager icon and on the next page find the link below the "Certificate (CRT)" heading . Paste the new SSL certificate you just received form your SSL provider in the space provided and upload. Click the return to SSL Manager at the bottom of the page.

Next we come to the last link on the Manager Page. Activate SSL on Your Web Site (HTTPS). Click and follow to the next page. Find your domain in the dropdown box and cPanel will (or should) fetch your SSL certificate and all other supporting documents and fill in the large boxes. once it has completed, go down the page to the "Install Certificate" button and install.

Your SSL Certificate should now be set up and functional in a short period of time (some propagation maybe required). If you had any issues during set -up or have any questions please contact us for assistance.

Sometimes it is hard to figure out where you really need to go to do things. Most people get confused at one time or another, so here is a little refresher that may help you remember the right direction to take when you are trying to pay your hosting bill, or edit your web site, or read your email, or well, to do just about anything associated with your web site.

THE CLIENT AREA - The Client Area is for the most part INFORMATIONAL.

It requires a username (email address) and password to login.

This is where you update your contact information, credit card information, and any additional contact information.

Your Order(s) information is listed here, and you place new order(s) from here. You can order domain names, services, and products. You can View details of invoices past and present.

This is the area you come to View, Print and Pay invoices as well.

Your SHOULD send your support Tickets from here rather than from outside of the login so they will all be saved in your client area email account for you.

You can also see all emails that have been sent to you from your hosting company back for a period of time by the hosting company, along with all orders, invoices and receipts.

THE cPanel - The Hosting cPanel is FUNCTIONAL. This area deals with everything that controls with your web site.

The address of your cPanel is "http://yourdomain.com/cpanel" with "yourdomain.com" being the actual domain name of your web site. The cPanel requires a username and password (a mixed string of letters and numbers - upper and lower case suggested).

This is where you set up your email accounts, read your webmail, turn on spam-assassin, and create a forward, auto responders, and mx records.

You can edit, backup, change and upload files. You can also edit pages and control FTP. You can create additional FTP accounts.

View your Web site Stats, visitor logs, error logs, and create custom error pages.

cPanel is the place to go to set your site security, such as password protected directories, HotLink Protection and the IP Deny Manger.

Here is where you will find the place to create parked domains, sub-domains and URL redirects.

Your cPanel is the place to set up databases.

This is the place to find the pre-installed software, Fantastico, etc. Find blogs, e-commerce, photo galleries, and much, much more.

This ends this tutorial. Hopefully, it will help you see a little more clearly the difference between the functions of the client area and the cPanel. The client area is INFORMATIONAL, and the cPanel gives your web site its FUNCTIONALITY.
