SSH key authentication is a secure method of logging into an SSH server without needing to enter a password. It relies on the use of a pair of cryptographic keys: a private key (kept secret) and a public key (shared with the server). This lesson guides you on how to set up SSH key authentication and login to the server without password.
Generate SSH Key Pair
First, you need to generate an SSH key pair if you don’t already have one. Open your terminal and run the following command to generate a new SSH key pair:bashCopy codessh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
-t rsa: Specifies the type of key to create (RSA).-b 2048: Sets the key length to 2048 bits (you can use higher values for stronger security).
-f ~/.ssh/id_rsa: Specifies the file name for the generated key pair (the default location is ~/.ssh/id_rsa).
During key generation, you can choose to set a passphrase for added security, but it’s optional. A passphrase adds an extra layer of protection to your private key.
Copy the Public Key to the Server
Next, you need to copy your public key to the server you want to access via SSH. You can do this manually or by using the ssh-copy-id command.
Replace <username> and <hostname> with your server’s username and hostname:bashCopy codessh-copy-id <username>@<hostname>
If you prefer to do it manually, you can append the contents of your public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the remote server:bashCopy codecat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh <username>@<hostname> 'mkdir -p ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
Make sure the ~/.ssh directory on the remote server has proper permissions (usually 700), and the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file should have permissions set to 600.
Test SSH Key Authentication
You can now test SSH key authentication by attempting to SSH into the remote server:bashCopy codessh <username>@<hostname> If you set a passphrase for your private key, you’ll be prompted to enter it. Otherwise, you should be logged in without being asked for a password.
Disabling Password Authentication
For enhanced security, it’s a good practice to disable password-based authentication once you’ve confirmed that SSH key authentication is working. You can do this by modifying the SSH server’s configuration (typically located in /etc/ssh/sshd_config).
Set PasswordAuthentication to no.Reload the SSH server: sudo service ssh reload or sudo systemctl reload ssh.This ensures that SSH access can only be obtained using the authorized SSH key.
SSH key authentication is a secure and convenient way to access remote servers, and it’s widely used for server administration and secure file transfers. Just remember to protect your private key and use passphrases for added security.
The lesson guides you on the Linux server environment. If you’re using Windows, you can use an SSH client like PuTTY or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to follow similar steps.
Secure Shell (SSH) is a more secure and popular network protocol that delivers secure communication over an unsecured network, such as the Internet. SSH is primarily used for remote login and command-line execution on remote machines but it can also be used for securely transferring files from one system to another just like FTP. So in this case you can say that SSH is a more secure version of FTP.
After you subscribe to a VPS or Dedicated Server, you can transfer files and backup using SSH and for that, you will need to follow a few general steps to connect your server via SSH Secure Shell using a local client. This is needed to transfer, backup, or upload your web/app files, etc.
SSH is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely. Since it is a method for doing a secure remote login from one device to another, here, the two devices are your local machine i.e. your computer, and your server i.e. your VPS or Dedicated Server.
Now following are the exact steps to make a connection via SSH but a few things may depend on the SSH client you use. If you don’t use Linux Terminal then you may use PuTTy for Windows, or Terminal on a MacOS machine.
Before you start with the SSH login you will need to obtain this info:
Launch your SSH client, enter the host i.e. your domain name or IP address, and your SSH port number (which by default is 22) to establish the SSH connection.
Now you will be asked to enter the FTP details. As prompted for that, enter your primary FTP username and password and click GO or whatever action button is there in your client. That’s it. Your client will now make a connection.
Domain mapping is a process that allows you to use a domain name on your website or web service on any hosting option such as cPanel Webhosting, Plesk Windows Hosting, Webhosting Plus, VPS, or Dedicated Server. It is generally done by updating the name servers on domain names to point to the server where you are hosting or planning to host your website.
Sometimes on self-managed servers and advanced hostings, the nameserver needs complex configurations to work, these settings might not be easy for general users. If adding custom name servers doesn’t work for you, you can set your domain name to work simply by editing its DNS zone.
In this case, you don’t need to edit or use custom name servers but make some changes in the DNS zone file and it will start working with default nameservers provided during the time of registration.
The first thing you need to do is log in to your VPS or Dedicated Server and copy its IP address which you will find on the My Products -> Servers -> Manage page. If you have a hosting, the IP address would be visible on the cPanel’s information page.
Once you have the IP address the next step is to log in to your domain account and click the ‘Manage‘ button to open up domain details.
Select the DNS Zone File tab to edit your domain’s zone information. Click the ‘Add Record‘ button present in the zone file section and add records as shown in the following screenshot.
The examples:
Hostname – www, record type – A address, ***.***.***.*** (IP)
Hostname – @, record type – A Address, ***.***.***.*** (IP)
Hostname – *, record type – A Address, ***.***.***.*** (IP)
Don’t forget to replace the ***.***.***.*** with your server’s IP address. You can add records one by one by clicking the ‘Add Another’ button. Once DNS records are added, save changes, log out, and wait for the DNS propagation.
DNS propagation refers to the process by which changes made to Domain Name System (DNS) records are distributed and adopted across the internet. When you make changes to your DNS records, such as updating the IP address associated with a domain or adding new records, these changes need to be propagated to DNS servers worldwide to ensure that internet users can reach your website or services using the updated information.
This might take up to 24 hours to complete but generally at Sangkrit.net, it starts working for you in a few minutes.
WordPress allows you to upload and display a variety of media file types like images, music, and videos. But when you delete the post, all of the files attached to that specific post are left orphaned in your media library causing an undeserved load on your website. Since these files are of no more use, you may use a plugin for automatically deleting such images.
Earlier, you have learned about deleting unattached images from your WordPress media library. Now in this lesson, you will learn about automatically deleting attached files when their post, page, or post type is removed.
How To Automatically Delete Image Attachments When Any Post Is Deleted In WordPress?
Autoremove Attachments plugin keeps your media library clean by removing all media files attached as attachments to a post, page, or custom post type when the parent post is deleted. Hence, you don’t have to manually track down and remove orphaned files that remain on the server.
To start using the plugin simply log in to your WordPress site and follow these steps:
Navigate to Plugins -> Add New section
Search and install the ‘Autoremove Attachments’ plugin
There are no configuration options to set. Upon activation, the plugin automatically starts working and it automatically removes child attachments when a parent post, page, or custom post type is deleted.
The Compatibility With Other Plugins
The ‘Autoremove Attachments’ plugin is compatible with WooCommerce i.e. WordPress Ecommerce plugin, Easy Digital Downloads plugin, and all plugins that work within the WordPress system.
Make Sure
That you are not using the same media files in multiple posts or you will end up missing images from other posts on your WordPress website. If you need to use the same images in addition to this plugin then you must re-upload such images for reusing them on other posts.
Another important thing you should know is files are deleted when the parent post, page, or custom post type is permanently deleted so a soft delete that moves the content to the trash does not trigger attachment deletion. Hence, in order to delete the attached media files, you will have to permanently delete the post from the trash bin.
PHP version is displayed on your cPanel’s account home page. An unsupported PHP version is one reason why your website goes down, and displays a blank white page or error 500. This could happen when your website doesn’t support the PHP version active on your hosting account.
You may also check the documentation for the software you’re using such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc. to determine PHP compatibility requirements. Look for specific PHP versions or extensions that your software recommends or requires.
To fix PHP version compatibility issues on cPanel hosting, you need to ensure that your website’s PHP version is compatible with the scripts, themes, and plugins you are using. Once you are sure about the version your website requires, you can easily change the PHP version from your cPanel and make it compatible with your website or app.
How To Change PHP Version On cPanel?
Log in to your Sangkrit.net account and follow these steps:
Navigate to the ‘My Products’
Select the ‘Web Hosting’ option
Next to the cPanel account you want to use, click Manage.
Click cPanel Admin and then scroll to the Software section.
Click Select PHP Version, this displays your current PHP version which can be changed from the drop-down.
Click the “Set as current” or “Save” button to apply the selected PHP version.
You may have multiple PHP versions to choose from. If your software specifies a particular PHP version, choose that version. Otherwise, you can typically select the latest stable version.
If you encounter difficulties or errors that you cannot resolve yourself, simply reach out to the support team. They will assist you with all troubleshooting and configuration settings.
PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is a PHP undertaking that provides an alternative way to run PHP scripts on web servers. The cPanel webhostingVPS, and Dedicated Servers at Sangkrit.net gives you the option to use PHP-FPM on your websites.
It is programmed to improve the performance and efficiency of PHP execution, particularly in the context of serving web applications. In the traditional way of executing PHP scripts, such as the web server like Apache uses a separate process to handle each PHP request which sometimes leads to high memory consumption and inefficiencies, especially while handling multiple concurrent requests. PHP-FPM addresses these issues by managing PHP processes more efficiently.
It offers several benefits over traditional PHP execution:
Performance: PHP-FPM is designed for better performance and resource utilization, making it particularly effective for high-traffic websites or applications.
Resource Efficiency: PHP-FPM pools can be configured to allocate resources more effectively, reducing memory usage and improving server responsiveness.
Process Management: PHP-FPM can manage PHP processes dynamically based on the number of incoming requests. It helps prevent server overload and ensures smooth operation during traffic spikes.
Isolation: PHP-FPM pools isolate each website’s PHP processes, providing better security and stability.
Customization: You can configure PHP-FPM settings, such as the number of child processes, to suit your website’s requirements.
How To Use PHP-FPM On cPanel?
The cPanel webhosting environment at Sangkrit.net gives you the option to enable and configure PHP-FPM for your websites. Here’s how you can do it:
Log in to cPanel: Access your cPanel account using your login credentials.
Find PHP Configuration: In the cPanel dashboard, look for the “MultiPHP Manager” or “Select PHP Version” option. This is where you can manage PHP settings for your domains.
Select PHP-FPM: In the PHP version manager, you’ll see a list of your domains and the currently used PHP version. You can select “PHP-FPM” from the dropdown menu for the domains you want to enable it for.
Configure PHP-FPM: Depending on the cPanel version and your hosting provider’s settings, you might have the option to configure PHP-FPM settings. This could include adjusting the number of child processes, the PHP-FPM version, and other options.
Save Changes: After enabling PHP-FPM and making any necessary configurations, save your changes.
Test: You can now test your website to ensure that PHP-FPM is working as expected. Observe the performance and resource usage.
Keep in mind that PHP-FPM configurations might vary based on the new updates, policies, and the cPanel version being used. So for any kind of online support or specific instructions on enabling and configuring PHP-FPM for your domains simply contact the support team.
When anyone registers his domain name at Sangkrit.net, the system gives the credit of a hundred free email addresses for forwarding, which means you can create 100 custom email addresses @ your domain name with a catch-all email address that will deliver all the emails sent to that custom address to your email box.
Email forwarding is a feature that allows you to automatically send incoming emails from one email address to another. It’s a convenient way to manage multiple email accounts without having to constantly check each account separately. With email forwarding, you can consolidate your emails in one central inbox and receive messages from different addresses in a single location.
How Email Forwarding Works?
Setting Up Forwarding: To set up email forwarding, you need access to the email account you want to forward messages from. It offers options to set up forwarding in the account settings.
Choosing Forwarding Address: You’ll need to specify the email address to which you want to forward the incoming emails. This could be another email account you own or a colleague’s email address, for example.
Configuring Forwarding Rules: It gives you the option to configure rules for forwarding. For instance, you can choose to forward all incoming emails, only specific emails, or emails that match certain criteria (e.g., emails from a specific sender or with specific keywords).
Verification: In some cases, it verifies that you have access to the forwarding address by sending a verification code or link to that address. This is to ensure that you have permission to forward emails to that destination.
Receiving Forwarded Emails: Once email forwarding is set up, any email sent to the original address will be automatically forwarded to the specified forwarding address. The recipient of the forwarded email will see the original sender’s address and the content of the email.
Managing Forwarding: You can usually manage and modify your forwarding settings in the email account’s settings. You can enable, disable, or update forwarding rules as needed.

Demonstrates Professionalism
First and foremost, a custom email address demonstrates professionalism. Consider the difference between “yourname@gmail.com” and “yourname@yourwebsite.com.” The latter exudes a sense of authenticity and dedication. It signifies that you have invested in establishing a unique online presence, which can be especially crucial for businesses. Clients and customers are more likely to take a brand seriously when their communication comes from an official domain. This initial impression sets the tone for the relationship, fostering an environment of professionalism and respect.
Enhances Your Business Identity
Secondly, a custom email address enhances your business identity. For businesses, consistent branding across all channels is paramount. A custom email address reinforces your name with every correspondence. It reinforces name recalls in the minds of your audience, making your name more memorable and distinct. Moreover, it serves as a subtle yet constant reminder of your online presence, prompting recipients to explore your website or social media profiles, thereby increasing engagement.
Safeguards Against Potential Security Concerns
Additionally, a custom email address safeguards against potential security concerns. Generic email providers are often targets of cyberattacks and phishing attempts. Having a custom domain with strong security measures in place assures your contacts that their data is in safe hands. This added layer of protection is particularly vital when dealing with sensitive information or confidential business matters. It not only safeguards your reputation but also fosters a sense of reliability among your recipients.
Signifies A Commitment
Furthermore, a custom email address conveys permanence and stability. Free email services might change or shut down without notice, causing inconvenience and loss of valuable contacts. On the other hand, a custom domain signifies a commitment to your online presence. It assures recipients that your contact information will remain consistent over time, establishing a sense of reliability and longevity.
In conclusion, the seemingly simple act of adopting a custom email address holds immense potential for building trust and credibility. Whether for individuals or businesses, the professional image, brand consistency, security, and reliability it conveys can profoundly impact how others perceive and interact with you. In a world where online interactions define our personal and professional relationships, the choice of a custom email address is a small yet crucial step toward fostering trust and credibility.

Creating cron jobs within cPanel is generally a five-step process. Simply log in to your Sangkrit.net account, visit the ‘My Products’ page, and open the cPanel of the hosting or server wherever you want to schedule a cron job. Next, follow the given steps:
Access your cPanel dashboard through your hosting provider.
Look for the “Cron Jobs” icon and click on it.
Select the frequency at which you want the cron job to run – whether it’s once a day, once a week, etc.
Enter the command that the cron job should execute. This can include shell commands, scripts, or URLs.
Use advanced settings to fine-tune your cron job, such as email notifications upon completion.
You should always test your cron job commands before setting them up in production. While specifying file paths, use absolute paths to ensure accuracy. Apart from this, periodically review and update your cron jobs to adapt to changes.
Cron jobs are like your personal virtual assistants, handling routine tasks in the background while you focus on more critical aspects of your website. With cPanel’s user-friendly interface, creating and managing cron jobs becomes a breeze. By automating tasks that would otherwise require manual attention, you can enhance your website’s performance, improve efficiency, and ensure that your online presence is running smoothly around the clock.
You can prevent downtimes and keep your business constantly online by configuring an additional set of nameservers on your domain name. This secondary DNS server serves as a backup to the primary server, ensuring that domain name resolution remains available even if the primary server experiences downtime or becomes unreachable.
What Is DNS?
DNS is the Domain Name System which is also known as Domain Name Server. Its work is to convert alphabetical names called Domain Names into numeric IP addresses so that the end user can simply remember the domain name and not the IP addresses.
For example: What happens when someone gives you his contact number? He tells you a set of numbers. If the domain name system wouldn’t be there on the internet then people would have to give numbers instead of domain names just as it happens in the case of mobile numbers. DNS is the spine of the internet, it works everywhere on the web.
To access DNS you simply need to sign in to your Sangkrit.net account and follow these steps:
Visit your Domain Portfolio
Tap on your domain name
Select Manage DNS
Manage DNS for any domain
What Is Secondary DNS?
Secondary DNS offers you an additional set of name servers to keep your website live in case primary DNS is down.
It is a backup or redundant DNS server that works in conjunction with the primary DNS server to provide domain name resolution services.
The primary DNS server is responsible for maintaining the authoritative DNS records for a domain, translating human-readable domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses that computers use to locate resources on the internet.
Here you can enter the name servers or IP address to make your domain open your website or let you send emails. In general, you have two name servers that you get while subscribing to a hosting option at Sangkrit.net, and in most plans, it is automatically updated by the system.
In special cases of Dedicated Servers etc, you need to update it on your own or with the help of the online support team. This is called working with the DNS.
How Secondary DNS Works?
This additional set of name servers of secondary DNS keeps your domain’s zone file backed up automatically to that second set of nameservers.
If the first i.e. default set of nameservers goes down, the secondary DNS automatically sends a request to the backups that have a zone file identical to the primary set of nameservers.
Backup & Redundancy: When you set up secondary DNS, you configure another server with a copy of the authoritative DNS records from the primary server. This secondary server essentially acts as a backup.
Load Distribution: Secondary DNS doesn’t just function as a backup; it can also help distribute the DNS query load. When users or devices request DNS information, the load can be shared between the primary and secondary servers, helping to distribute network traffic.
Failover Protection: If the primary DNS server experiences an outage or becomes overwhelmed, the secondary DNS server can still respond to DNS queries, ensuring uninterrupted access to websites and services.
Global Accessibility: Secondary DNS servers can be strategically placed in different geographical locations. This can improve the response time for users in various regions and enhance overall DNS performance.
Zone Transfer: The process of keeping the secondary DNS server up to date with the latest DNS records from the primary server is called a “zone transfer.” This ensures that both servers have consistent and accurate DNS data.
Configuring TTL: Time-to-Live (TTL) values in DNS records determine how long a DNS query result can be cached by other DNS servers. When configuring TTL, consider that changes made to DNS records might take time to propagate across all DNS servers.
Secondary DNS is an essential component for maintaining the high availability and reliability of domain name resolution services. It ensures that even if the primary server faces issues, users can still access websites and online resources without disruption.
How To Use Secondary DNS?
In order to use secondary DNS, you must have Sangkrit.net’s Premium DNS on your domain. To add premium DNS simply visit your domain portfolio on your products page at Sangkrit.net.
Next, select the domain name to open its management and you will see an option to subscribe and enable the Premium DNS. Once you are subscribed to Premium DNS, it will provide you the option to use secondary DNS on your website.

The new Managed SSL Service at Sangkrit.net saves you from the technical steps of installing and implementing HTTPS over your domains.
What Is Managed SSL Service?
It handles the installation, configuration, management, and renewal of SSL(Secure Socket Layer) certificates on your websites and the service ensures that your website stays safe and secure on the internet.
The Managed SSL Service also saves you from common encryption errors such as:
SSL not found error
Mixed-content error
HTTPS redirect failure error
SSL certificate mismatch error
SSL certificates are essential for securing data transmitted between a user’s browser and a website’s server, ensuring that sensitive information such as login credentials, personal details, and payment information is encrypted and protected from malicious actors.
What Is Managed SSL Service Offers You?
Here’s an overview of the features that Managed SSL Service offers:
Installation & Setup
Managed SSL Service providers handle the entire process of obtaining and installing SSL certificates on your website. This includes generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), validating domain ownership, and configuring the server to use HTTPS.
Automatic Renewal
SSL certificates have an expiration date, typically ranging from a few months to a year. If you leave this option on, the Managed SSL Service ensures that your certificates are automatically renewed before they expire, preventing any disruption in your website’s security.
Certificate Types
Managed SSL services offer various types of SSL certificates, including Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV), and Extended Validation (EV) certificates. They can also provide Wildcard and Multi-Domain (SAN) certificates to secure multiple subdomains or domains.
Security & Trust
Managed SSL services offer SSL certificates from reputable Certificate Authorities (CAs) that are recognized and trusted by web browsers. This ensures that your website is not flagged as “Not Secure,” and users can browse your site with confidence.
SEO Benefits
Search engines, including Google, consider HTTPS as a ranking factor. Having an SSL certificate can positively impact your website’s search engine rankings, leading to improved SEO performance.
Support & Troubleshooting
Managed SSL services often provide technical support to address any issues related to SSL certificates. They can help with setup, configuration, and troubleshooting to ensure your website’s security is maintained.
Compatibility & Updates
Managed SSL services ensure that your SSL certificates are compatible with modern web standards and are regularly updated to meet evolving security requirements.
Compatibility with CDN & Load Balancers
Managed SSL services can help you configure SSL certificates for content delivery networks (CDNs) and load balancers, ensuring that your entire website’s traffic is securely encrypted.
Simplified Management
By outsourcing SSL management, website owners can focus on other aspects of their business without worrying about the technical details of certificate installation and renewal.
PCI Compliance
For websites that handle online payments, an SSL certificate is essential for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance.
Green Padlock Symbol
An SSL certificate displays a green padlock symbol in the browser’s address bar, indicating that the connection is secure. This symbol builds trust with users and can potentially increase conversions on e-commerce sites.
Managed SSL Service is a convenient option for website owners who want to ensure the security of their visitors’ data without dealing with the complexities of SSL certificate management. It allows businesses to focus on their core activities while benefiting from enhanced website security and improved user trust.
How Managed SSL Service Works?
Authentication is the keystone of SSL protection. After you subscribe to a Managed SSL, the system itself validates your domain and issues an SSL certificate to ensure your website only takes a secure connection.
Once the system configures the SSL certificate on your domain and verifies that everything is accurate, you receive an email saying that your website is now successfully running over a secure HTTPS connection.
The service offers you Domain Validation (DV) SSL certificates via Managed SSL Service. You can purchase a certificate for a single site or a multiple-domains certificate i.e. SAN SSL that secures one primary plus four additional domains i.e. a total of five domains.

Web Hosting Plus goes beyond the basics and offers additional features and resources to enhance your website’s performance, security, and functionality. But it is important to assess your specific needs, budget, and growth expectations when considering the Web Hosting Plus option.
While Web Hosting Plus offers many advantages, it may not be a suitable fit for very small-budget websites, in such a case you may try regular cPanel Hosting.
cPanel and Plesk are two prevalent web hosting control panels that enable users to manage various aspects of their web hosting environment using an easy graphical user interface.
Each control panel has its own features, advantages, and considerations. Bot panels are user-friendly, and offer automatic application installation, SSL, and TLS configurations but still, there are some differences that are very important to know if you planning to buy a new web hosting option.
The Cost Differences
There are no big cost differences between cPanel and Plesk. Each control panels come with licensing costs that are paid by the hosting provider. Some web hosts may charge an additional fee for cPanel and Plesk but at Sangkrit.net, there is nothing like that, and the cost of both hosting plans are nearly the same.
The Server Compatibility
You don’t have to worry about it if you are hosting your website at Sangkrit.net as all its web hosting plans come with a pre-installed version of cPanel and Plesk, all you have to do is select the hosting option that you are willing to purchase. Elsewhere it is important to choose a control panel that is compatible with your server’s operating system i.e. Linux or Windows. cPanel works on Linux whereas Plesk is compatible with both operating systems but it is mainly popular on Windows Operating System.
The Programming Language Compatibility
While Plesk can often handle popular frameworks built with various programming languages (such as Django for Python), less commonly used or newer frameworks might not have built-in support. It might not immediately support programming languages that are very new or still in experimental stages, as it takes time for new languages to gain widespread adoption and integration. Plesk Windows hosting is perfect for those who use ASP.NET, ASP, or SQL Server.
On the other side, cPanel is not for ASP.NET and .NET technologies. For such languages, you would typically need a Windows-based hosting environment, which is commonly managed using the Plesk control panel or other Windows-specific control panels.
The Application Compatibility
If you’re using a custom or proprietary application or an application that uses proprietary programming language such as ASP or .NET or any language that is not widely recognized or used, cPanel won’t be offering any support for that. cPanel is primarily designed for Linux-based hosting environments and is not natively geared toward supporting Windows-specific technologies like ASP.NET. For ASP and .NET like languages, Windows Plesk is the perfect option.
Please note that the hosting can upgrade over time, so it’s advisable to check with the hosting plans at Sangkrit.net for the most up-to-date information on available technologies and control panel options for your specific needs.
The choice between cPanel and Plesk depends on your specific needs, preferences, and familiarity with each platform. It’s important to note that what may be considered “better” can vary based on individual requirements but you should also know that most programmers especially those who are the masters of prevalent web technologies prefer cPanel over Plesk i.e. Linux over Windows hosting. So finally, cPanel wins, and the system at Sangkrit.net also recommends cPanel-based hosting and servers.
Podcasts are digital media that primarily consists of episodic audio content but sometimes people also use the name with certain types of video content too.

The lesson guides you on how you can easily start up your own auction website at any Sangkrit.net web hosting option.
Auction means a public sale event where items, goods, or services are offered for bidding, and then are sold to the highest bidder. Auction Websites operate similarly to traditional auctions, but the bidding and transactions are conducted online rather than in a physical location.
These websites are programmed to provide an online platform where individuals or businesses can list items for sale and enable buyers to bid on those items. Auction websites provide an online platform for a wide range of items to be sold, including collectibles, antiques, electronics, fashion items, art, and more.

Alternative Method – WordPress Auctions
If you are a WordPress user and you think using WordPress for making your online auction website would be easier than using any new application then you can do it with WordPress. The “Ultimate WordPress Auction Plugin” is a powerful tool that can easily add auction functionality to your WordPress Website.
Login to the admin panel of your WordPress site and navigate to Plugins -> Add New page to search and install the “Ultimate WordPress Auction Plugin” plugin on your website.
After activation, you will find its new menu item added to your admin area dashboard. Click on it and configure the general settings, such as currency, time zone, and auction listing layout.
For creating a new auction, navigate to the auction plugin section and click on “Add New Auction” and fill in the important details such as:
Title & Description
Images of the item
Starting bid price
Bid Increments
Auction start and end dates

The bidders can place bids on the items listed in auctions. The condition is that their bids should be higher than the current bid thus meeting the bid increment rules.
