How cPanel Accounts Are Created On WHM Of VPS & Dedicated Server?

Leave a comment

cPanel equips you with an easy interface to manage your domains and websites. The cPanel account at Sangkrit.net gives you access to several free applications to let you easily make different types of websites in a very short interval of time and that too without any technical skills.

But do you know you can also create separate cPanel hosting accounts on your Sangkrit.net VPS or Dedicated Server by using the WHM interface? Each cPanel account can have its primary domain and each can be given the privilege to host multiple domains. You can also set resource limits over new cPanel accounts. This includes disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, and more. You can either use the package defaults or customize these limits as per your requirements.

To create a new cPanel account you will need to set the following things:

  1. Domain: The domain name for the new cPanel account.
  2. Username: A username for the new account.
  3. Password: A strong password for the new account or you may also use the password generator.
  4. Email: An email address associated with the account.
  5. Package: The hosting package or resource allocation for the account. If needed, you can create custom packages in WHM.
  6. Settings: You may also configure any additional settings such as selecting a theme, enabling or disabling DNS clustering, and more.

Then simply follow these steps to create a new cPanel account:

  1. Login to your Sangkrit.net Account
  2. Click the Servers tab
  3. Click Manage button
  4. You will be directed to your server’s admin panel
  5. Click Account Functions or use the search box to find it
  6. Click Create a New Account
  7. Fill up the mandatory fields and click Create

Now the Web Host Manager will display you a results page outlining your new Account. Next, you will see Account Creation Complete!!! at the bottom of the screen. Simply repeat the steps to create more cPanel accounts.

The accounts you create are accessible from the Servers tab on your Sangkrit.net products page. Go back to step no. 1, and you will see all your cPanel accounts are listed there. The new account holders would be able to log in to cPanel with the provided username and password to manage their website, email, and other hosting-related services.

How To Allocate Resources To Your Websites On Dedicated Server & VPS?

Leave a comment

Allocating and managing resources means creating hosting packages containing a set resource usage allowance for domains and websites you want to host on your dedicated server or VPS. You can set the maximum amount of resources that a domain can use so that other websites won’t get affected by it. 

  • If you are running only one website then you may simply allot all server resources to it
  • If you are running multiple websites then you may either set a resource quota for each website or let all your websites freely use server resources

This lesson will guide you in creating new hosting packages, allocating resources, and assigning them to your domains.

Log in to your Sangkrit.net Account then follow these steps:

  1. Visit Products page
  2. Click the Servers tab
  3. Next to the account, you want to use, click Launch
  4. From the management interface, next to the cPanel Site,
  5. Click Manage Server (WHM) 
  6. Click Proceed

On your server’s home, add a new package:

  1. Find the Packages section on the left sidebar,
  2. Click Add a Package

Define regulations such as:

  1. Disk space
  2. Max domains
  3. Max bandwidth usage
  4. Max database usage
  5. Max email, etc

As required by you, each or selective option can be left to unlimited. Now, click the blue color Add button at the bottom of the screen. That’s it, your package has been successfully created.

This way you can create as many packages as you want, and each package will work as a separate cPanel hosting account. You can edit or delete any packages by revisiting the packages page from the left sidebar of your dedicated server‘s home. The same steps also work for virtual private servers.

How To Host Multiple Domains & Websites On VPS & Dedicated Server?

Leave a comment

After you have subscribed to a dedicated server, the first thing you need to do is set it up for your main domain. Afterward, you can add multiple domains to your server or create other cPanel hosting accounts on your server to add domains.

For Hosting Multiple Domains From Server’s Admin Panel

This option lets you create different cPanel accounts for each of your domain names.

While creating any new cPanel account you can allow it to host multiple domains or simply keep it limited to only one domain. You can do this at your discretion by following these steps:

  1. Login to your Sangkrit.net Account
  2. Click the Servers tab
  3. Click Manage button
  4. You will be directed to your server’s admin panel
  5. Use the left-side search box to find the List Accounts page
  6. Click List Accounts
  7. Click Create a New Account button

It will present you with a form where you can type in your domain name and select options for the new cPanel account you are creating.

Finally, click the ‘Create’ button.

Follow the same steps for creating separate accounts for your domains.

For Hosting Multiple Domains On A cPanel Account

You can allow any cPanel account on your dedicated server to host multiple domains. This thing is done while creating new cPanel accounts (as we have done above) or you can edit any old account.

To edit any old cPanel account simply visit the ‘List Accounts’ page (as shown in step no. 6 above).

To host multiple domains on cPanel:

  1. Log in to Account Manager 
  2. Click the Servers tab
  3. Next to the cPanel account, which you want to use, click Launch

Next, on the cPanel home page:

  1. Scroll down to the Domains section
  2. Click ‘Addon Domains‘
  3. Type in the domain name
  4. Click the ‘Add Domain‘ button

Each domain added by you will have its directory where you can upload your website or install WordPress. The web directory of your domains can be accessed from your cPanel’s home page -> File Manager option, present in the Files section.

Make sure you update your domain name servers to make it point to your dedicated server.

How To Use Subdomains On Different Hosting Accounts And Different Nameservers?

Leave a comment

Just like domains you can use custom name servers on subdomains too for domain names registered at Sangkrit.net. This way you can use subdomains the same way you use domains for hosting new websites, as addon domains on any web hosting option or server.

You can use these subdomains on any VPS, Dedicated Server, or any Shared Hosting plan just like the regular domain names.

How To Point Subdomains To Custom Name Servers?

Login to your Sangkrit.net account and follow the given steps:

  1. Access your Sangkrit.net domain manager, the one you see on MY ACCOUNTS page
  2. Select your domain and click the Manage button
  3. On the DNS configuration page scroll down and click the “Add Record” button
  4. Select a new “Nameserver” entry on the Record Type field where the “host” will be your subdomain name which you want to point to custom name servers. Use the proper nameserver naming format or Sangkrit.net will kick an error. “Points to” will be the name server such as NS1.SANGKRIT.net dns-subdomain
  5. Then you can add a new record with the same host and this will point to NS2.SANGKRIT.net (if required).

That’s all. DNS propagation takes some time and then you would be able to use this subdomain on your hosting or server by adding it as ADDON DOMAIN on cPanel or wherever you like.

Alternative Method: Alternatively you can add A record (instead of NS Record Type) pointing to your server’s or hosting’s shared IP address.

The Difference Between cPanel & WHM Hostings & Servers

Leave a comment

Linux VPS or Dedicated Server provides you with WHM to manage your website hosting accounts. WHM allows you to host multiple websites on different domains but that’s what cPanel may also do. So what is the difference?

The difference is that WHM allows you to set up separate cPanel accounts for websites and not only this but you can assign a package to limit the resource usage of websites hosted on your server.

Now if you only have one single website to host on your server and you want to use all your resources on that specific website then you simply set cPanel without assigning any package to it.

WHM

WHM stands for Web Host Manager. It is the main control panel for setting up a server and not the websites on the server, but the server itself. Setting up a website is the second step which you do after creating new cPanel accounts from the WHM of your server.

The Differences Between WHM & cPanel

WebHost Manager, or WHM, provides administrative control of your dedicated or Virtual Private Server (VPS). You use WebHost Manager to create individual accounts, add domains to your server, manage hosting features, and perform basic system and control panel maintenance

The main features of WHM are:

  1. Server-Level Control Panel: WHM is designed for hosting providers and server administrators. It’s used to manage the server as a whole and to create and manage cPanel accounts for individual hosting clients.
  2. Server Management: WHM focuses on server-level tasks, such as server configuration, software installation, security settings, and resource allocation to individual cPanel accounts.
  3. Reseller Hosting: WHM allows for the creation of reseller hosting accounts. Resellers can use cPanel to create and manage their own hosting clients and accounts.
  4. Security: WHM offers server-level security settings and access controls for managing cPanel accounts, including the ability to enforce security policies for all hosted accounts.
  5. Resource Allocation: WHM lets administrators allocate resources like disk space, bandwidth, and other server resources to cPanel accounts.
  6. User Authentication: WHM is accessed by administrators using their own login credentials. It’s used to create and manage cPanel accounts, each with its own set of credentials.
  7. Typical Users: WHM is used by hosting providers, data center operators, and server administrators who manage multiple hosting clients or accounts.
cPanel

The cPanel is designed for managing particular domains or hosting accounts on your server. End users can control everything from adding/removing email accounts to administering MySQL databases etc.

The main features of cPanel are:

  1. End-User Control Panel: cPanel is designed for end-users, typically website owners, and administrators who manage their hosting accounts. It provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for various website and account management tasks.
  2. Website Management: cPanel is primarily used to manage individual websites and their associated settings, such as creating and managing email accounts, databases, file management, and domain settings.
  3. User-Level Features: cPanel offers features like website backups, email management, website statistics, domain management, and one-click application installations (e.g., WordPress).
  4. Security: While cPanel provides security features, it focuses on the security of individual hosting accounts and websites.
  5. Resource Usage: cPanel allows users to monitor and manage their resource usage, including bandwidth and storage.
  6. User Authentication: Users log in to cPanel with their credentials.
  7. Typical Users: cPanel is used by website owners, bloggers, small business owners, and anyone with a web hosting account.

cPanel is the end-user control panel used by individuals and businesses to manage their website and hosting account, while WHM is the server-level control panel used by hosting providers and server administrators to manage server resources, create and manage hosting accounts, and enforce security and resource allocation policies for multiple cPanel users. The two often work in tandem, with WHM allowing administrators to create and manage cPanel accounts for their clients.

How To Resell Hostings After Subscribing A Dedicated Server?

Leave a comment

If you are a web developer looking forward to setting up your own reseller hosting then this lesson will guide you step-by-step in creating your own reseller account on a Dedicated Server or VPS of Sangkrit.net.

What is a Reseller Account?

A reseller account is a special account created from WHM of a Dedicated Server or VPS. It is a cPanel account with more privileges.

The system allows reseller accounts access to a limited version of the WHM interface, which allows them to manage the cPanel accounts that they sell.

A reseller can allocate system resources on individual cPanel hosting accounts and then sell them to his clients.

To start up with a reseller account, you must own a Dedicated Server or VPS. Read our lesson on configuring a server at Sangkrit.net to start with WHM and cPanel.

How To Manage Reseller Accounts?

You can manage reseller accounts using one of the following WHM user interfaces:

  • The Resellers section (Home -> Resellers) provides you access to all of the reseller features.
  • The Reseller Center interface (Home -> Resellers -> Reseller Center) allows you to add or remove reseller privileges and provides links to all of the other reseller features.

By default, the system grants a set of limited privileges to reseller accounts. But you can add more privileges to any reseller account using the Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges interface present in Home -> Resellers -> Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges section.

How Nameservers Are Configured On Dedicated Server & VPS?

Leave a comment

Nameservers are used for masking IP addresses to domain names.

However, you can directly mask an IP address to different records of your domain name to make it functional. But doing a nameserver setup lets you enlist all domain records in your nameservers to use them on your domain (website & email, etc).

Configuring Nameservers On Dedicated Server (Via WHM):

  1. Log in to your Sangkrit.net account
  2. Open the Products page and click the Servers tab
  3. Click Launch (Next to the account, you want to use)
  4. Click Manage Server (WHM) 
  5. Click Proceed

Once, you are logged in to your server, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to WHM’s Nameserver Selection interface via WHM -> Home -> Service Configuration -> Nameserver Selection
  2. Select the desired nameserver software
  3. Click Save

To configure your default nameservers:

  1. Navigate to WHM’s Basic WebHost Manager Setup interface via WHM -> Home -> Server Configuration -> Basic WebHost Manager Setup
  2. Enter the desired nameserver names in the text boxes
  3. Click Save

Remember, the name must prefix, a dot (.), and your domain. For instance: ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com.

Next, you will need to add the IP address to your nameservers:

  1. Navigate to WHM’s Add a New IP Address interface via WHM -> Home -> IP Functions -> Add a New IP Address
  2. Here you may either enter the main IP address or the IP address range (if you have one) in the New IP or IP range to add a text box
  3. Enter the subnet mask in the Select a subnet mask for the IP or IPs above to use the text box
  4. Enter any IP addresses that you wish to exclude in the IPs and IP ranges to exclude from the range of new IPs text box
  5. Click Submit

Creating A or AAAA entries on your nameservers:

  1. Access WHM’s Basic WebHost Manager Setup interface via WHM -> Home -> Server Configuration -> Basic WebHost Manager Setup
  2. In the Nameservers text box, click Configure Address Records
  3. Update the IP addresses in the appropriate text boxes
  4. Click Configure Address Records
  5. Click Close

Repeat the same steps for each of your nameservers.

For creating entries of your hostname:

  1. Again, move to WHM’s Add an A Entry for Your Hostname interface via WHM -> Home -> DNS Functions -> Add an A Entry for Your Hostname
  2. Enter your server’s IP address in the text box
  3. Click Add Entry

Next, you will need to register the same nameservers on your Sangkrit.net account from your domain management section. You will need to change the nameservers of your domain to use these new domain nameservers.

Simply log in to your Sangkrit.net account and follow these steps:

  1. Visit your products page, in the Domains heading, click Manage
  2. Locate the domain for which you wish to set up your nameservers
  3. Click the settings icon and select Manage DNS.
  4. Click the Settings tab and click Manage under the Host Names setting
  5. Click Add Hostname and enter the primary nameserver’s name (for example, ns1)
  6. Enter the primary nameserver’s IP address in the IP Address text box and click Add.
  7. Now, repeat the same steps for your secondary nameserver, this time use another nameserver such as ns2
  8. Click Save. Then, click Edit Nameservers and select Custom option
  9. Enter the full names of your two nameservers. (For instance: ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com)
  10. Click OK and then Save your changes

That’s it. The DNS propagation takes some time to spread the domain’s new DNS records across the internet. So, allow it twenty-four hours and your settings will start to work.

How To Configure Reverse DNS On Your WHM Server?

Leave a comment

DNS i.e., the Domain Name Server also known as Domain Name System is the hierarchical and decentralized system of identifying systems reachable through the Internet Protocol networks.

It works by looking up your website by finding its domain name and then locating its associated IP address. Whereas, the reverse DNS first looks up for an IP address and then locates the associated domain name.

The reverse DNS is actually a process that involves the conversion of an IP address back into a domain name. While the traditional DNS translates domain names (like – example.com) into IP addresses (like 132.0.3.1), reverse DNS does the opposite – it translates IP addresses into domain names.

The Reverse DNS is mainly used for:

  1. Email Servers: Reverse DNS is commonly used by email servers to verify the legitimacy of incoming emails. Many email servers check if the reverse DNS entry of the IP address sending the email matches the domain from which the email claims to be sent. This helps in preventing spam and identifying potential sources of malicious or fraudulent emails.
  2. Network Troubleshooting: Network administrators use reverse DNS to understand the domain names associated with specific IP addresses. This can aid in troubleshooting network issues, identifying the source of network problems, or verifying the ownership of particular IP addresses.
  3. Security: Reverse DNS can provide additional information about the server sending traffic to your network. It’s used in security measures to analyze and filter incoming traffic based on the domain names associated with the IP addresses. This can be helpful in identifying and blocking potentially harmful or unauthorized access attempts.
  4. Logging and Analytics: Some systems and applications use reverse DNS to log the domain names of incoming connections, providing more meaningful information in logs and analytics.
  5. Online Reputation: Some online services use reverse DNS as a factor in determining the reputation of an IP address. A well-configured reverse DNS entry can contribute positively to an IP address’s reputation, while a lack of reverse DNS or misconfigured entries might affect it negatively.

Setting up reverse DNS involves creating a PTR (Pointer) record in the DNS zone files, and linking an IP address to a domain name. This PTR record helps establish a connection between the IP address and the domain name it represents.

It’s important to note that the accuracy and presence of reverse DNS entries can vary. Some organizations maintain proper reverse DNS entries for their IP addresses, while others might not. Additionally, the process of setting up and managing reverse DNS might involve coordination with the hosting provider or internet service provider.

But at Sangkrit.net you don’t have to worry about that, you can easily setup the reverse DNS by following a few easy steps, and the round-the-clock online support is also available to help you in case you feel stuck anywhere.

How To Setup Reverse DNS?

At Sangkrit.net, you can easily set up a reverse DNS (RDNS) lookup for your Dedicated Server. To start, simply login to your Sangkrit.net account and follow these steps:

  1. Visit your My Products page
  2. Click Servers
  3. Next to your server, click Manage
  4. Enter the domain name you want to be associated with the server IP address, in the DNS record field
  5. Now click Update

The system will start an automated process of completing the reverse DNS setup. This can take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate to your server.

If you have multiple IP addresses on your server, repeat the process for each IP address you want to set up Reverse DNS for.

Now the traditional process of setting up reverse DNS is a little bit different, you may follow that also:

  1. Log in to WHM: Access your WHM control panel using your administrator credentials.
  2. Navigate to “DNS Functions”: In WHM, search for or locate the “DNS Functions” section. This is where you’ll manage DNS-related settings.
  3. Edit DNS Zone: Under “DNS Functions,” click on “Edit DNS Zone.” This will allow you to modify the DNS zone files for the domain.
  4. Select IP Address: Choose the IP address for which you want to set up Reverse DNS (PTR record). Click “Edit.”
  5. Add PTR Record: In the DNS zone editor, you’ll see the existing DNS records. To add a PTR record, scroll down to the “Add New Entries Below this Line” section.
  6. Enter PTR Record Details: Fill in the following information to create the PTR record: Name: Enter the last segment of the IP address in reverse, followed by “in-addr.arpa.” For example, if the IP is 192.0.2.1, the name would be “1.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa.” TTL: Set the Time to Live for the record.
  7. Save Changes: Once you’ve entered the PTR record details, click the “Save” or “Save Zone File” button to save the changes.
  8. Update DNS Zone: After saving the changes, WHM will update the DNS zone file with the new PTR record.
  9. Verify PTR Record: You can verify the PTR record by using the “dig” command in the terminal or through online DNS lookup tools. It might take some time for the DNS changes to propagate across the internet.

You should also know that, when you run your own email server, and configure DNS to point to your domain name, there are some servers that are going to reject emails from IP addresses when not having an rDNS. The reverse DNS also helps when you need to troubleshoot your network while running a traceroute etc.

Reverse DNS is a useful mechanism that adds an extra layer of information and security to online communication and networking processes.

Why You Should Lease A Dedicated Server For Your Business?

Leave a comment

There are a number of hosting options available for you to select as per your budget from Sangkrit.net. Each type of hosting has its own benefits and limitations but a dedicated server is built to deliver optimal performance to your business, and you are free to reconfigure it in the way you want.

Leasing Dedicated Servers For Yourself And Your Clients

A dedicated server is like having your own house where you can set up everything in the way you want. You can lease a server and configure it to your or your client’s web applications such as WordPress, eCommerce, Gaming, Video Streaming, or anything else. There are self-managed, managed, and fully managed servers.

On managed servers, you get WHM i.e. web host manager and cPanel for easily managing your client’s websites and applications. Whereas on a fully managed server, you also get a professional team to help you out with complicated tasks.

The Target Audience

As a Sangkrit outlet, you can offer a dedicated server to any of your clients but big enterprise-level businesses are more suitable targets for you. By suggesting a dedicated server you are offering them complete isolation i.e. no sharing of resources and full power over their hosting option.

Every Linux-based managed dedicated server offers you

  • Dedicated IP address
  • Single-tenant infrastructure
  • Command line as well as World Host Manager & custom cPanels
  • Higher levels of security
  • DDoS protection
  • Backup options

Servers Give Optimal Performace To Your Websites & Apps

A dedicated server is built to provide you with optimal performance. You get the advantage of full processing power with metal servers from a tenant having root privileges for establishing complete command on the server, reaching up to the kernel. You can change the configuration of the server, and install-uninstall software because you have all exclusive access to it.

How To Lease Dedicated Server?

Simply visit the dedicated server’s page at Sangkrit.net, select your server, and click the ‘Configure Your Server’ button. Here you will be asked to select your options such as operating system, control panel, and support team.

Once you do that, simply click the ‘Checkout’ button and make the payment. That’s it, you will now see the server listed on the products page of your Sangkrit.net account.

What Are Country Code Domain Names, ccTLDs?

Leave a comment

Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) are specific domain extensions assigned to individual countries or territories around the world. These domain extensions are primarily used or reserved for entities, individuals, or organizations associated with or located within those countries or territories.

Each ccTLD is identified by a two-letter code corresponding to the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes, representing the name of the country or territory.

Examples of country code domain names include:

  • .us: United States
  • .uk: United Kingdom
  • .ca: Canada
  • .de: Germany
  • .jp: Japan
  • .fr: France
  • .cn: China
  • .au: Australia
  • .in: India
  • .br: Brazil
  • .mx: Mexico

These country code domain extensions serve several purposes:

  1. Geographical Association: They establish a direct link between a website and its geographical location or association with a specific country or territory. For instance, businesses or organizations targeting local audiences often use ccTLDs to signal their presence in a particular region.
  2. Localized Online Presence: ccTLDs allow businesses and individuals to create a localized online presence, catering specifically to the audience within that country or territory. It can help in local branding and marketing efforts.
  3. Regulation and Administration: Each ccTLD is managed and regulated by the designated authority of the respective country or territory. Policies, rules, and requirements for registering a ccTLD can vary depending on the registry overseeing that domain extension.
  4. Restrictions and Eligibility: Some ccTLDs have specific registration requirements, such as a local presence or proof of citizenship, to register a domain under that extension. However, many countries have opened up their ccTLDs for global registration, allowing individuals and entities outside the country to register these domains.
  5. Global Use: While initially intended for entities within a specific country, some ccTLDs have become popular globally, often used for creative purposes, branding, or when a specific domain name with a ccTLD is desirable.

When considering a country code domain name, it’s essential to understand any specific registration requirements, restrictions, and the intended audience for the website, as well as the potential impact on SEO and branding efforts.

Protecting Domain Names That Are Not Eligible For Whois Privacy

Leave a comment

You have learned how you can protect your domain names and why it is so important. But do you know that there are some domain extensions that are not available for privacy protection in general? This lesson guides you in protecting such domain names.

Domain extensions such as .US .IN .CO.IN .DE, etc, there is a long list. These domains are not available for privacy protection but the ‘Domain Ownership Protection’, a privacy option explained in this lesson lets you protect these domain names too.

Domain Ownership Protection is a standalone protection plan available at Sangkrit.net that allows you to guard domain names that aren’t eligible for domain privacy.

How to use Domain Ownership Protection?

The domain name ownership protection is offered at the time you register or transfer your domain name to Sangkrit.net. You simply need to tick the box and it will be added during the transfer or registration process.

Secondly, if you have already registered or transferred your domain name at Sangkrit.net, and you have not added any privacy but now after seeing the benefits you now want to add then follow these steps:

  1. Simply log in to your Sangkrit.net account
  2. Visit the ‘My Products’ page, and click the ‘Domains’ section
  3. You can now add it to the domain name you would like to add privacy to, you will see that there is an option for it.

It also offers other protection options such as protection towards domain name expiration, it holds your domain name if it gets expired or when you turn on the auto-renew option but your credit card expires before the domain renewal date.

How To Restart Domain Name Transfer In Case It Fails?

Leave a comment

If you are trying to transfer your domain name to Sangkrit.net and your current registrar has rejected your request because of failed verification, pending payment, or any other reason, you can resolve it easily yourself.

The cause or the type of error with your domain transfer to Sangkrit.net is displayed as a status on the Transfers-In page of your Domain Manager in your Sangkrit.net account.

Now what you have to do is first resolve the error so that it won’t trouble you in the future and then revisit the Transfers-In page to restart your domain name transfer.

All domain name transfers stay active until they get complete, or until they expire which is 30 days from the transfer date.

How to check the domain transfer status?

  1. Log in to your account, visit the My Products tab, and click Manage All
  2. From the Domains menu, select Transfers-In

Now if there is an issue with your transfer, you will see clear messaging about it on this page. Once you resolve the issue, you’ll need to revisit the Transfers-In page and click Restart Transfer.

After you restart a transfer, you must authorize it – read this tutorial.

When you transfer a domain name to Sangkrit.net to get full control over it and benefit from the free extras, the step-by-step process guides you in everything.

Troubleshooting Domain Transfer Errors

  1. Error: Domain locked – You must unlock your domain name at your current registrar, and then click Restart transfer on the Transfers-In page.
  2. Error: Protected Registration enabled – If you have protected registration, you must cancel this protection at your current registrar and change your administrative (admin) contact’s email address (if necessary). If you have a .au domain name, you should update your registrar contact’s email address. Then, click Restart transfer.
  3. Error: Invalid authorization code – You entered an invalid authorization code for your domain name transfer. Click the Update authorization code to re-enter it.
  4. Error: Transfer rejected – Your current registrar rejected your domain name transfer. Contact your current registrar to resolve outstanding issues, and then repurchase the transfer in your account with Sangkrit.net.

If your domain name is stuck in No action required: Initializing status, it means that the system is initiating your domain name transfer. However, if you have registered or transferred the domain name in the past 60 days, then ICANN policy says that you cannot transfer it in between. But that is not a problem for you as the system will automatically re-initiate your domain transfer when the domain name becomes eligible for it.

What Is Domain Privacy?

Leave a comment

Domain Privacy at Sangkrit.net keeps personal information safely locked, protects it against identity theft, and saves contact details from email harvesters and spammers who purchase whois databases. Hence, it prevents domain-related spam and deters domain hacking.

It can easily be added to any domain you register from Sangkrit.net, the system prompts you to add it during the domain registration process and you can also add it later from your account section by clicking the ADD PRIVACY option visible next to the domain name.

How Domain Privacy Works? When you register a domain name, your personal information is automatically entered into a public directory called WHOIS record which can often accessed by hackers, spammers, and marketers to compile mailing lists and steal domains.

Sangkrit.net offers two privacy options to keep your personal details safely hidden.

While Privacy Protection simply locks your identity keeping your personal information hidden on the Internet, Privacy & Business has some extras such as:

  • It provides deadbolt transfer protection
  • It provides an online business card visible in the WhoIs directory
  • It prevents accidental loss of domain due to expired credit card information
  • Certified Domain Seal proves to visitors that your website’s ownership is valid

Thus, you easily keep complete control of the domain, including the rights to sell, renew, cancel, or transfer it.

If you consider revealing your business information so that more people can know about your business then you can make use of a virtual business card that you get with Privacy and business protection. It is made to drive more traffic to your website and increase the reach of your existing efforts without surrendering your privacy.

If you want to know more about domain privacy, you can find more information about it in your Account Area -> Domains -> Privacy option next to the domain name option. If you don’t have a domain you can register it now and the system will guide you in getting privacy and launching your website.

How To Backup And Restore Your Website On cPanel Hosting Or Server?

Leave a comment

cPanel provides you with powerful website backup and restore options with which you can back up your complete website, get backup notifications, and then easily restore your website whenever needed. There are two backup options in cPanel: Full Backup and Partial Backup.

Full backup creates an archive of all website files and configurations set on your website. This can be used for moving your account from hosting to a dedicated server or VPS or to keep a local copy of your website files.

Full backups cannot be restored through your cPanel interface. Hence, to restore full backups you have to manually upload files and import the MySQL database.

cPanel of Sangkrit.net provides you with all video tutorials and you can easily view them right from the home screen of your cPanel.

Partial backup is another feature that allows you to back up your website but here you can select what you want to backup. You can separately backup and download your Home Directory, MySQL Databases, Email Forwarders, and filters.

Backups can be downloaded or restored from the ‘Backups’ page, you can access it from the Files section of your cPanel.  It allows you to download backups to your computer as a zipped copy of either your entire site including your home directory, databases, email forwarders configuration, and email filters configuration, or one of the previously mentioned parts of your site.

How To Backup Your Website?

Login to your Sangkrit.net account and launch your web hosting cPanel.

My Account

Enter the username & password and log in to your cPanel.

cPanel Login

Click ‘Backup Wizard’ from the ‘Files’ section.

Backup Wizard

It presents you with backup and restore options. (The restore option allows you to restore your website files or database from earlier generated backup files.).

Restore & Backup Page

Again it presents you with two options: Full Backup and partial site backups.

Full backups create an archive file containing files and configurations of your website. Whereas partial backup allows you to separately create and download backups of website files, databases email forwarder filters, etc. The good thing about partial backups is that cPanel provides a quick direct feature for restoring partial backups.

cPanel Full & Partial Backup Options

Select a backup option, wait for some time and it will provide you download links for your backup files.

cPanel Partial Backup

If you have selected full backup then you may also enable email notification (on the full backup screen) and the system will send you an email upon completion of your website backup.

cPanel Full Backup

It’s not necessary to download backup files at the same time. All backups are saved in your server and can be accessed from the backups page of your cPanel’s ‘Files’ section.

You can manage/download backups anytime by visiting cPanel and clicking the ‘Backups’ icon. It provides you with options for downloading saved backups. Also, you can generate or restore backups from there itself.

How To Restore a Backup?

As we have already said cPanel provides you the built-in option for restoring backup files (generated manually or via cPanel’s Partial Backup option) for the home directory, MySQL databases, and Email Forwarders and filters.

From your cPanel home, Click ‘Backup Wizard’ under the ‘Files’ section

Backup Wizard

Select the restore option, it allows you to restore your website files or database from earlier generated partial backup files.

Restore & Backup Page

You can select what to restore like your Home Directory, MySQL Databases, Email Forwarders, and filters.

cPanel Restore Wizard

For Example: Suppose you want to restore your MySQL database from its downloaded backup file on your computer’s hard disk.

cPanel Backup Browse & Upload

Simply click ‘MySQL Databases’ and use the ‘Browse’ and ‘Upload’ buttons to restore the backup back to your server.
