The reason depends on the person and the sites. For an average user with a personal website, a weblog, or even a small business, individual monitoring might be overkill. But for someone who does a lot of business through their site, or is a reseller, knowing it was down for 15 minutes (or worse) is critical to maintaining good service. If a customer would call me and have to tell my site, or worse, their site was down, that wouldn't be good. It's always in my best interest to know what's happening to a website before a customer does. I use various tools I've acquired or created over the years. I've just recently moved to TCH from hosting all my stuff myself, so I'm still building that new montoring. If you are really that interested, you can PM me and I can elaborate, but it's nothing really unique, and isn't a single package. I've just built and run availability and performance monitoring environments for many years for various dot-com jobs I've had, and I still enjoy and prefer to do it myself. (yes... I am admittingly somewhat of a control freak. )

If I was looking for monitoring, I'd consider taking you up on that deal, and I think it'd be a great service. Thumbs Up I do all of my own monitoring though.

You can change the passwords of any of your email accounts under Mail Account Maintenance in cpanel if they forget theirs.

Well, not quite. He created Twelves because he apparantly couldn't log in as Twelve.

His first post in this thread is a different ID. Twelves plural, instead of twelve singular.

Yea, well my cats are on my Mad!!! list at the moment. Last friday I came home to find out they had opened up the freezer door in the morning so it was open all day. Everything thawed out. Maybe it's time to get a dog.

I agree in that your best bet is to talk to your admin. If it's being blocked on purpose going around it could jeopardize your job... because if they blocked it because they are monitoring the traffic, they are likely to see attempts to bypass those blocks. If it was an error, they can correct it and you won't have deal with any workarounds. Although somewhat of a dissimilar situation, I gave a friend a shell account on a Sun server I have because I was helping her learn Unix (which was in this case for her job). A day later she found she couldn't SSH into the box. I checked it out and found her company appeared to have blocked access, so she talked to her admin and they said that they saw the SSH activity and claimed to have blocked it accidently while they were adding some other blocking filters (I think they did it on purpose not knowing who the activity belonged to, but that's another story) and they lifted that block immediately. Bottom line is ask and find out. If they do filter your internet access there, at least you'll know why they did, or better yet it may have been accidental. If not, there could be a problem with your network.

Btw, if you are still wondering, server23 is in the Houston, Texas datacenter.

You can have an unlimited number of domains in a reseller account. From the way you described what you want to do, a reseller account would work great for you. I have several of my own domains on my account (although I've upgraded from reseller to a dedicated server, but it can be done just fine in a reseller account). The only real restriction on a reseller account is the bandwidth and diskspace. You just need to make sure all of the combined domains do not exceed the reseller account's limits. TCH can better answer the migration questions.

I did run across this in a quick search, that may be of help. Looks like the instructions would be doable even without shell access with some minor changes in the method. Just replace 'admin' with the user's account login.

Ok... looking at your two biggest scores..... First, 2.5 for a dynamic address pool (66.42.39.248 is a netzero ip address). Because of the way SquirrelMail works, it records the address of the person connecting to the mail client, and SpamAssassin (SA) is picking that up. SA scores dynamic addresses higher because a lot of people spam from home computers (which primarily use dynamic ip addresses). Looking at typical SquirrelMail headers, you would see something like this as one of the received lines: >Received: from 1.2.3.4 ([1.2.3.4]) (SquirrelMail authenticated user bubba) by **** with HTTP; Fri, 13 Feb 2004 02:04:34 -0500 (EST) Where 1.2.3.4 is the ipaddress of the computer (or router) of where you are connecting to webmail from. Horde uses a similar method of creating it's headers, so of the 3 webmail choices, it looks like Neomail is the only one that doesn't record the address of the connecting system as part of the received lines in the headers (and therefore Neomail has less chance of potentially being labeled spam). The program that creates the email generates the message ID, so in this case SquirrelMail must have written a message ID that SA didn't like, although without seeing it, not sure why. The email I sent from Squirrelmail to myself didn't complain about the message ID. If you have too many problems with your emails being dropped as spam, you may need to try using Neomail, or if it's only within your own accounts, configure spamassassin through your cpanel to require more hits (like maybe 6 instead of 5).

Spamassassin (the spam protection enabled from cpanel) uses a scoring system to judge if an item is spam or not based on numerous rules, including known spam hosts, content, and format. It could be as simple as the wording of the email triggered Spamassassin to think it's spam (like if you use ALL CAPS, or say things like FREE CASH, you'll get some high scores). The email you received, if it scored enough to be flagged as spam, should have a full analysis of why it scored high enough to be flagged included with the message. Take a look at that and you'll see what rules it triggered. Edit: Actually, I just realized you may be asking why Spamassassin looked at it at all. If that's the case, it's because the email still goes through your mailserver to be processed, so SpamAssassin will still look at it, even if it's sent from your own accounts.

Echo echo echo..... I'm not sure we could have gotten much closer in wording if we tried.

Way to go Glenn! Thumbs Up

PM = private message. Click on that PM under any person's post, and you can send them a private message.

You were right on track, Alan! Thumbs Up

(I'm also not TCH staff)... If you have a regular, not a reseller, account you'll have to submit a help desk ticket to have TCH add the IP address, but they have been allowing that in the past. You can't do it through cpanel. Your IP address at TCH is static. The dynamic IP address of your home DSL is a function of your DSL provider. You will need to contact whoever you get your DSL service from to ask them about the possibility of getting a static ip address. Some DSL providers provide residential static addresses but usually at an additional cost. If you can't get a static IP address, you could look at options like DynDNS.org.

'/' just means your home page is the most viewed. Someone goes to http://yoursite.com/, then '/' is considered the page viewed. Multiple slashes in a row in a URL are handled like a single one. If they show up in your awstats, it just means either there is an external link somewhere that has an too many slashes, or you may have an internal link that is adding one to many. It doesn't mean you have duplicate pages. For example: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com////////////////index.html will still display even though it's really /index.html, but it'll be logged as ////////////////index.html for awstats.

Maybe thumpaz is a "dead" head?

Under the error it will say: Please update your contact information here. here (in the cpanel) is a link. Click on it, and it will allow you to enter an email address there.

I've only been on one cruise, but for the most part, just make sure you have passports if you are leaving US waters, and you will need to go through customs when you come back (if you left US). Beyond that... it's not much different then getting on and off a plane. Just much bigger. When you book the cruise you should get all of the info you need, including tickets. If you are going to do excursions, try to book them all in advance. Bring lots of sunscreen. Getting burnt on the first day is NOT fun. Mad!!! And pay attention to cruise schedule... most cruises have dinner every night, and there are dress codes. I so want to go on another cruise.

You can try each one out. If you select one and don't like it, you will still get the choice every time you check webmail. Although I didn't spend a lot of time with each of them, I found Horde seemed to have the most features (I'm a bit of a power user) so I use Horde when I need to use webmail. It's not the most descriptive, but I didn't spend a lot of time in the 3 either... I mostly use a remote client to read email. If you enable Spambox, you will have to use Horde or Squirrelmail to access the spam mailbox, Neomail won't be able to see it.

Hehe.

You can set quotas on their mail when you create/edit their accounts. I generally prefer to push quotas on people than delete their mail. This forces them to either delete their mail regularly so they can get new mail, or configure their POP access to download the mail and delete from server.

Very simple. Head Guru has too much time on his hands. Apparantly we don't keep him busy enough. (hmm.... *wonders if his title might be changing again soon after that comment*)
