How To Recover An Expired Domain Name?

Leave a comment

Every domain name has a specified registration period, generally one year but sometimes longer if you have registered it for a longer time. As the expiration date approaches, domain registrants receive multiple notifications reminding them to renew the domain.

Still, if the registrant fails, the system may provide a grace period after the official expiration date. During this period, the domain owner can still renew the domain without losing ownership. The length of the grace period may vary but is often around 30 days.

Sometimes it is possible to recover an expired domain name. If you have registered or transferred your domain at Sangkrit.net, you can attempt to recover your expired top-level domain names (TLDs) during the renewal grace and registry redemption periods. Many times it can be successfully recovered even if you have missed the renewal grace period and the domain is no longer visible on your account.

Log in to your Sangkrit.net account and follow the steps:

  1. Visit My Products page and click Manage All
  2. From the top menu, click the Domains tab, and select Expired Domains.
  3. Select the domain names you want to recover.
  4. Click Recover.
  5. Select the renewal length for the domain names, and then click Next.
  6. Optionally you can select the registration and website options you want to apply to your domain name renewals.
  7. Complete the checkout process.

Renewal lengths for multiple domain names can vary depending upon the maximum renewal lengths allowed by each domain name registry.

If the domain is no longer visible for registration then contact the support team by calling the number given in the footer of the system’s page and share your problem, the executive will help you regain access to the expired domain name.

How Control Can Still Be Gained Over An Expired Domain Name That Has Also Missed Its Grace Period?

If the domain is not renewed within the grace period, it enters a redemption period. During this phase, the domain is no longer active, and the original registrant may need to pay a redemption fee, which is often significantly higher than a standard renewal fee, to reclaim the domain. The length of the redemption period varies but is typically between 30-60 days.

After the redemption period, the domain goes into a “Pending Deletion” status, and it is no longer available for renewal. During this phase, it is queued for deletion by the registry, and it’s generally inaccessible. But still, at this point, the registrant may gain control over the domain name by contacting the support and they help him to re-register the domain name if is still not deleted and queued for the registry.

After the deletion period, the domain is typically released to the public and becomes available for registration by anyone on a first-come, first-served basis. But many times it goes for the auction and sometimes especially popular domains are backordered by people and are resold at a higher price.

So how to save yourself from missing the renewal period? Simply turn on the auto-renew option. It automatically renews the domain for the registrant, typically using the payment method on account. If you have auto-renewal enabled, your domain will automatically renew on time.

The Instant Dynamic Caching System Of Sangkrit.net Hosting & Servers

Leave a comment

Now every server owner at Sangkrit.net can easily accelerate his websites by caching both static and dynamic content and reducing the load on his servers.

How Dynamic Caching Works?

Dynamic caching works by temporarily storing the dynamically generated content in a cache. When a user requests a particular piece of content, the web server first checks if a cached version of that content is available. If it is, the server serves the cached content, which is faster than generating it from scratch. If not, the server dynamically generates the content, serves it to the user, and caches it for future requests.

How To Enable Dynamic Caching On Your Server?

After you buy any Linux-based VPS or Dedicated Server, you can enable caching for yourself and also your clients by providing a caching button on every hosting account you make on your server. You and your users may use this button to turn on catching, simply follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Sangkrit.net account
  2. Visit your ‘My Products’ page
  3. Click the ‘Servers’ option
  4. Next to ‘Server Actions’ click ‘Launch WHM’
  5. Open ‘Nginx Manager’ from the software section menu on the left
  6. Enable the caching

The page allows you to enable the caching on any or all hosting accounts running on your server You can also enable cache by default for all hosting accounts or click the ‘User Settings’ tab to enable NGINX caching selectively on accounts. It also provides you the option to selectively or collectively delete your server’s cache.

Nginx Cache i.e. “HTTP Caching” Or “Proxy Caching

Nginx cache, often referred to as “HTTP caching” or “proxy caching,” is a powerful feature that allows you to temporarily store and serve web content more efficiently. It is designed to reduce the load on web servers, decrease page load times, and improve the overall performance and user experience.

Every cPanel user account created by you on your VPS or Dedicated Server also gives an option to enable caching over the websites running on the same server but have different hosting accounts.

You can turn on, turn off, or delete the cache on any website simply from the server’s main page on your Sangkrit.net account.

How To Use The Resources Of Multiple Servers Together?

Leave a comment

The Configuration Cluster is a server interface that enables you to link the master server to other additional servers. In the context of cPanel and WHM hosting, a “Configuration Cluster” or “Server Configuration Cluster” typically works as a feature that allows multiple cPanel & WHM servers to work together as part of a cluster.

It provides redundancy, which helps ensure that if one server in the cluster fails, another can take over, minimizing service disruption. Clustering can be used for load-balancing web traffic. It distributes incoming web requests across multiple servers, preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed with traffic.

This clustering is often used to distribute the load, improve redundancy, and enhance the scalability of a hosting infrastructure. cPanel provides a feature known as “Server Clusters” to facilitate this.

On your VPS or Dedicated Server, you can easily add more servers to the configuration cluster by following these steps:

  1. Visit WHM’s DNS Cluster interface via WHM -> Home -> Clusters -> DNS Cluster
  2. Click to Enable DNS Clustering
  3. Click the Change button
  4. Click Return to Cluster Status
  5. Select the server to add to the DNS cluster
  6. Add a new server to the cluster menu
  7. Click Configure
  8. In the Remote cPanel & WHM DNS host text box of the cPanel DNS Remote Configuration interface
  9. Enter the hostname or IP address of the nameserver to add to the cluster
  10. Enter the WHM username for the nameserver
  11. Enter the nameserver’s API token hash or remote access key in the Remote server access hash text box
  12. To automatically configure the DNS cluster on the remote server – Select Setup Reverse Trust Relationship
  13. To synchronize the new server with other nameservers simply select Synchronize Zones Immediately option
  14. To specify the server’s DNS role, select a setting from the DNS Role menu
  15. Click the Submit button

For deleting a server from the DNS cluster:

  1. Visit the DNS Cluster interface via WHM -> Home -> Clusters -> DNS Cluster
  2. In the Modify Cluster Status text box, select Disable DNS Clustering
  3. Click Change, then Click Return to Cluster Status
  4. Log in to the servers that remain in the cluster
  5. Navigate to the DNS Cluster interface via WHM -> Home -> Clusters -> DNS Cluster
  6. Locate the server that you wish to delete
  7. Click the x icon under the Actions heading

To make changes in your server in the DNS cluster:

  1. Locate the server that you wish to edit
  2. For DNS changes – In the DNS Role menu, select a new role for the server
  3. Click the save icon to save your changes
  4. Next, to edit a server’s configuration settings
  5. Click the edit icon under the Actions heading
  6. The cPanel DNS Remote Configuration interface will appear
  7. Make your changes to the server’s settings
  8. Click the Submit button

Remember that the API tokens can be generated in the WHM’s Manage API Tokens interface. Simply navigate to WHM -> Home -> Development -> Manage API Tokens page.

If you own a Linux-based server at Sangkrit.net, you can simply copy the changes made to the master server to all other servers by navigating to WHM -> Home -> Server Configuration -> Update Preferences settings on the master server. This simply outs all changes to all servers on the cluster.

Another feature called DNS clustering allows multiple cPanel & WHM servers to synchronize their DNS zone data. When a change is made to a DNS record on one server, it is automatically replicated to the other servers in the cluster. This provides redundancy and load balancing for DNS requests.

cPanel & WHM allows you to set up specialized DNS-only servers that manage DNS records for your websites. These servers work in conjunction with your primary cPanel & WHM servers to handle DNS queries, improving performance and reliability.

What To Do If You Have Misspelled And Registered A Wrong Domain Name?

Leave a comment

Domain names are valuable assets, so it’s important to ensure you have registered the right domain to represent your online presence. If you’re unable to correct the misspelled domain, securing the correct domain name and redirecting the misspelled one to the correct address to avoid any potential confusion is the next best step to take.

If you’ve misspelled your domain name during the registration process, it’s essential to address this issue promptly to avoid potential complications. In some special cases you might get a refund, so directly contact the support team for help.

Contact The Support

Immediately get in touch with the online support team. Some cases have a grace period during which you can make corrections to domain names or even request a refund. The grace period duration can vary depending on the terms and policies, but it’s typically a few minutes to a day or week.

Verify Refund & Correction Policies

Get in touch with the support and also review the terms and conditions to understand the refund and correction policies. Some cases may allow you to make spelling corrections, while others may offer a refund within the grace period, which you can use to register the correct domain.

Request A Correction

Some cases permit the corrections and you’re still within the grace period, request a correction to the misspelled domain name. Provide the correct spelling and any necessary documentation to support your request.

Register The Correct Domain Name

If your case does not allow corrections or if you missed the grace period, simply register the correct domain name separately. Ensure that you register the correct domain before someone else does. You can still use the misspelled domain as well, but it’s a good idea to redirect it to the correct one.

Redirect Or Forward the Misspelled Domain

To minimize any inconvenience for visitors who may accidentally type the misspelled domain, you can set up a redirect or forwarding service through domain settings in your account section. This will automatically redirect users from the misspelled domain to the correct one.

You May Cancel The Wrong Domain Name

There is an option to cancel any domain name registration but in most cases, it does not offer or guarantee any refund. Canceling a domain name simply ensures that it is no longer registered to you. So the best option is to avoid canceling the domain name, register the correct domain name and redirect the wrong domain to the right one, or contact the support team to know whether the refund is applicable or not.

Promote The Correct Domain

Focus your marketing efforts and branding on the correct domain name. This way, you can steer traffic to the intended website address, reducing the chances of people continuing to use the misspelled domain.

If your domain name misspelling could potentially be used by others to imitate your website, consider registering the misspelled version as well. This can help prevent others from capitalizing on the typo and potentially causing confusion or harm to your business name.

Review and update any marketing materials, business cards, advertisements, and social media profiles that display the domain name to reflect the correct spelling.

Registering Domain Names In Your Local Language

Leave a comment

The Internationalized Domain Name system lets you register domain names in your dialect. These domains can be formed using characters from different scripts, are encoded by the Unicode standard, and are used as allowed by relevant IDN protocols.

ICANN instituted the IDN Program for the development of a multilingual Internet. As the Internet uses ASCII which is an English alphabet-based character encoding standard for electronic communication, it represents text in computers, various devices, and the Internet. 

With Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), the system of Sangkrit.net makes it possible for anyone to register a domain name in his native language. You can register IDNs by searching for a domain name in your language-specific scripts, such as Devanagari, Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, or the Latin alphabet-based characters with diacritics or ligatures, such as in the French language. These domain names are limited to certain TLDs but include all top-level domain extension options such as .com .net .org.

How To Register Domain Names In Your Native Language?

Visit http://system.sangkrit.net then type your domain name in your native language (you may use Google Input Tools to type in your local language) and press the GO button. This will show you a list of available domain names and some suggestions in case the searched domain name is already taken.

The screenshot shows an internationalized domain name in the Hindi language

Next, select the domain name and continue to the cart. While registering your domain name, you will be prompted to add WordPress to your domain to self-start your website. Once a domain name is registered it can be managed from the My Products section in your Sangkrit.net account.

Picking The Most Suitable Domain Name For Your Business

Leave a comment

Selecting the right domain name is the most essential step for any business. This lesson is going to help you nicely with that.

Your domain name impacts your business identity and your overall online presence. Here are the steps to assist you in picking the most suitable domain name for your business website.

Finalizing Your Domain Name

Short and easy domain names are better than long and lengthy ones. Your domain name should be concise and memorable because short domain names are easier to remember and type. Aim for a domain name that is straightforward and easy to spell and bypass long, complex names that are prone to typos.

Choose a unique name. Ensure your domain name is distinct and not easily confused with other websites. Avoid hyphens, numbers, and special characters that may confuse visitors.

While registering your domain name you should also keep your business in mind because your domain is going to reflect your online originality. You must consider how it sounds and whether it’s catchy and memorable. It should leave a positive impression on visitors. For instance, if your domain name has a dash or special character in between, it will certainly sound odd especially when you speak it to someone.

Finalizing The TLD i.e. Domain Extension

Once you finalize the domain name, the next step is to check its availability. Simply use Sangkrit.net’s Domain Search to check if your desired domain name is available. Be prepared with alternative options in case your first choice is taken.

Use the right domain extension i.e. TLD. Common domain extensions like .com, .org, and .net are generally preferred because they are more familiar to users. But you should know that there are plenty of other domain extensions in the market so be open-minded as your online success depends on how well you work on your domain name and not what TLD you use. Each extension stands for a purpose such as .org is for organization and .us stands for the United States.

Get the extension that suits your business the most. For example: choosing a .co extension for an organization may look odd. Consider your future growth and think about your long-term goals and whether the domain name will still be relevant as your website grows or expands into other streams and niches.

Be Wise If Including Keywords

One common mistake made by new domain registrants is they go with the trends and fads. Avoid doing that, while trendy words or phrases may appear appealing for the time, they might go outdated later on. Choose a timeless domain name that stands the test of time.

You may take a mild benefit of SEO i.e. Search Engine Optimization which is a priority for every website owner by including relevant keywords in your domain name. Brainstorm keywords related to your website’s content, niche, or business. These keywords may help your domain name reflect what your site is all about and improve SEO.

However, do it wisely and don’t overdo it, your domain name should still stay user-friendly. The popularity of your domain depends on how well you work for it and not keywords etc.

Good keywords play a role in SEO such as they may assist the domain in relevant search results. But sometimes keywords may also bring problems, especially in the long run. As time changes, new things come out and many things go away like Google Buzz is now nowhere. For example: Today nobody uses Orkut and hence all domains registered with the purpose of posting articles about the service are today of no use.

If you are a blogger you should be very serious while choosing a domain name. Think twice before choosing a domain name with a keyword. For example: keywords prefixed domains may act well for SEO but in the future, it won’t be easy for you to change the domain name and re-establish your online identity.

For instance, Amazon.com can rebrand its website for some other service but androidlessons.xyz cannot easily change its blogging topic.

So sometimes meaning-less domain names perform better than meaningful keywords.

You May Register Domain Variations

You may purchase similar domain variations that may include faulty domains so that people wrongly typing your domain may also reach your website. This protects your business identity. Consider buying common misspellings or variations of your domain name to prevent competitors or squatters from using them. You can easily find and register similar domain names from the bulk domain registration page.

Bring Your Business Online

Once you have registered your domain name, simply subscribe to a Managed WordPress plan to bring your website online. Always remember to renew your domain on time to avoid losing it or you may simply turn on the auto-renewal feature.

Your domain name is an essential part of your online identity, so take your time and choose wisely. Once you’ve selected the perfect domain name, register it to bring your business online.

The Significance Of Registering Your Business Online As Domain Name

Leave a comment

In the ever-expanding internet landscape, where the internet is an integral part of our lives, having your name and business registered as a domain name is not merely a technicality but a strategic imperative.

A domain name is the online address of your internet presence, and its importance extends far beyond mere identification. Registering your domain name has multifaceted significance as it shapes your internet identity and the future of your online success.

Domain Is The Online Storefront Of Your Business

The domain name is the cornerstone of your online identity. It serves as the virtual storefront of your online presence, acting as the first point of contact between you and your audience. Choosing a relevant and memorable domain name not only facilitates recognition but also reinforces your image. It conveys professionalism, trustworthiness, and commitment to your online endeavors.

Businesses Having Unique Domain Appear More Authoritative

A domain name lends credibility to your online presence. Websites with unique domain names appear more authoritative and trustworthy to visitors. When people see a domain name that aligns with the content or business it represents, they are more likely to engage with the site and its offerings. Credibility is a crucial factor in building and retaining an audience.

It provides you with ownership and control over your online space. Unlike free services that often impose limitations and restrictions, having your domain name means you have the autonomy to control your business, customize your website, and manage its content and functionality.

Domain Name Is Essential For Internet Marketing

A simple memorable domain name simplifies marketing and promotion efforts. It’s easier to share and remember, making it a valuable asset for offline promotion, such as on business cards, advertisements, and marketing collateral. A concise, easy-to-recall domain name can drive direct traffic to your site.

Search engines play a key role in the online discovery of your business. A registered domain name that reflects your content or business niche can boost your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts. It can increase the likelihood of your website appearing in search engine results, driving organic traffic and enhancing your online visibility.

This allows you to maintain label consistency across various online platforms. It becomes your digital signature, aligning your website with your social media profiles, email addresses, and marketing efforts. A consistent and unique online presence fosters recognition and trust among your audience.

The Importance Of Securing Your Domain Name Now

Securing your domain name today helps future-proof your online presence. The digital landscape is continuously evolving, and the availability of desirable domain names diminishes over time. Registering your domain name ensures that you maintain control over it, preventing others from using it to your disadvantage.

Email Marketing gives you control of bringing a user back to your website or reminding him of your business, whenever you feel the need. The internet data states that it is 40 times more effective than social media marketing.

It is a powerful tool with numerous benefits for both your website and your audience:

  1. Building and Nurturing an Audience: Email subscriptions enable you to build a dedicated audience of individuals who are genuinely interested in your content, products, or services. These subscribers have voluntarily expressed their interest and are more likely to engage with your brand.
  2. Direct Communication Channel: Email is a direct and personal communication channel between you and your audience. When someone subscribes, they grant you permission to contact them directly, making it an effective way to deliver important messages and updates.
  3. Driving Website Traffic: Regularly sending emails to subscribers can drive traffic to your website. When you publish new blog posts, release products, or run promotions, email notifications can encourage subscribers to visit your site, increasing its visibility and engagement.
  4. Increasing User Engagement: Email subscriptions can help boost user engagement. Subscribers are more likely to interact with your content, leave comments, and share your posts with their networks, fostering a sense of community around your website.
  5. Marketing and Promotions: Email marketing is an efficient way to promote products, services, events, or special offers. You can segment your email list and send targeted messages to specific subscriber groups, increasing the effectiveness of your marketing efforts.
  6. Revenue Generation: For businesses, email subscriptions can directly impact revenue. By promoting products or services to a receptive audience, you can drive sales and conversions. Email marketing consistently ranks as one of the highest ROI (Return on Investment) marketing channels.
  7. Establishing Authority and Trust: Consistent, valuable email content can help establish your authority and expertise in your niche. When subscribers find your content informative and trustworthy, they are more likely to turn to you as a reliable source.
  8. Data Collection and Insights: Subscriptions provide an opportunity to collect valuable user data, such as demographics and interests, which can inform your content strategy and marketing campaigns. Analyzing email engagement metrics allows you to refine your approach over time.
  9. Strengthening Brand Loyalty: Regularly communicating with subscribers and providing them with relevant, valuable content helps build brand loyalty. Loyal subscribers are more likely to become long-term customers and advocates for your brand.
  10. Adapting to Algorithm Changes: Relying solely on social media or search engine algorithms to reach your audience can be risky, as these platforms can change their rules and algorithms. Email subscriptions provide a stable and predictable means of reaching your audience.
  11. Crisis Communication: In times of crisis, such as service interruptions or product recalls, email is a crucial channel for quickly communicating with your audience and addressing concerns.
  12. Compliance with Regulations: Having a clear and compliant email subscription process ensures that you adhere to privacy and anti-spam regulations, such as GDPR or CAN-SPAM, reducing the risk of legal issues.

How To Stay Legal In Email Marketing Campaigns?

Leave a comment

Staying legal in email marketing is essential to maintain a positive reputation, avoid legal issues, and protect your subscribers’ privacy. The easiest way and one-line solution to stay legal is to only send emails to the people who have subscribed to your email list and also provide them an easy option to unsubscribe to your list whenever they want.

If you are marketing thoroughly by maintaining huge mailing lists then you would have to familiarize yourself with email marketing laws and regulations in your region or the region where your subscribers are located:

  1. In the United States, the primary regulation is the CAN-SPAM Act.
  2. In the European Union (EU), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a critical regulation to consider.

Many countries don’t have any laws regarding email marketing. But still, if people spam and report you, the email service providers like Google may blacklist the address or domain name you are using to send emails.

To overcome this issue, you should always obtain explicit consent from individuals before sending them marketing emails. This consent should be clear, specific, and freely given. Use opt-in forms that clearly explain what subscribers are signing up for and how often they can expect to receive emails.

So monitor the performance of your email campaigns and address any issues promptly. Pay attention to bounce rates, spam complaints, and open rates. Use Email Marketing Service at Sangkrit.net, it offers you all important features.

Segment your email list based on subscribers’ interests and preferences. This allows you to send targeted, relevant content, reducing the likelihood of recipients marking your emails as spam.

It is also important to safeguard the personal data of your subscribers. If you collect and store subscriber information, implement robust security measures to protect that data from breaches. Remove inactive and disengaged subscribers from your list periodically. Because high bounce rates and low engagement can negatively impact the sender’s reputation.

By following these guidelines and staying informed about evolving email marketing regulations, you can maintain a legal and ethical approach to email marketing while building and nurturing a valuable subscriber base.

Restoring Database Grants On WHM Server & cPanel

Leave a comment

When a database user loses his access to configured databases, you may need to restore that user’s grants to the database using the restoregrants utility on WHM.

The first step you need to make is to access your command line and then use restore grants to restore the user’s database access:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/restoregrants –cpuser=$cpuser –db={mysql, pg} –dbuser=$dbuser

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/restoregrants –cpuser=$cpuser –db={mysql, pg} –all

Where:

  • $cpuser – is the cPanel username that has lost access to databases.
  • {mysql, pg} –  is the type of database: mysql for MySQL or pg for PostgreSQL.
  • $dbuser – is a database user whose privileges you wish to restore. If you use –dbuser, the $dbuser variable will consist of the database user’s name. If you use –all, the script will restore grants for all of the database users that belong to the cPanel account.

How to update the user’s password to restore database access on cPanel?

In certain circumstances, the restoregrants script may fail to restore access to the database.

In such a case, either the cPanel or the WHM  account owner can reset the cPanel account’s password in order to restore grants by following the given steps.

For restoring grants from cPanel:

  1. Navigate to cPanel > Change Password.
  2. Select Allow MySQL password change.
  3. Change the password and click Change your password now.

Steps for server administrator i.e. the owner of the WHM account:

  1. Navigate to WHM > List Accounts.
  2. Click + next to the appropriate account.
  3. Select Sync MySQL password with the account password.
  4. Enter a new password into the Change Password box and click Change.

How To Recover A VPS Or Dedicated Server With Rescue Mode?

Leave a comment

Rescue mode is a valuable tool for server administrators and system administrators because it provides a means to troubleshoot and recover a server in various scenarios.

Accessing your server by using the recovery console especially when you lose access to your Linux VPS or Dedicated Server is one thing. But, sometimes logging in through the recovery console doesn’t help or it doesn’t work for you then, in that case, you need to boot your server in ‘Rescue Mode‘.

In rescue mode, you are given temporary login credentials that you use to get into your server via SSH to resolve your server-related issues.

Login to your Sangkrit.net account and follow these steps:

  1. Visit your ‘Products‘ page
  2. On your ‘My Products‘ page, click ‘Manage‘
  3. Select ‘Rescue Mode‘ from the ‘Server Actions‘ option
  4. Click ‘Confirm‘

A progress message will appear, and in a few minutes, your server will reboot to rescue mode. Your server dashboard will now show that your server is running in ‘Rescue Mode‘. This message appears next to your server name.

Now you can use those temporary login credentials to access your server via SSH and you will be able to access all files available on your server.

Complete your work and when you are done, click ‘Exit Rescue Mode‘ present in your server’s Dashboard. Your server will now reboot to the active mode i.e. normal mode.

Additionally, exercise caution when making changes in rescue mode, as improper actions can potentially cause data loss or system instability.

How To Login To SSH Server Without Password?

Leave a comment

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.

How To Use Secure Shell SSH On Your VPS Or Dedicated Server?

Leave a comment

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:

  • Your domain name or IP address
  • Your primary FTP username
  • Your primary FTP password

In case you don’t know where to find these things, you may search their tutorials or simply email or call the online support team to get help.

For security reasons, your dedicated server is provisioned with disabled admin/root access. But you can enable it by following these steps:

  1. Login to your Sangkrit.net account
  2. ​​Navigate to your My Products page
  3. Click Servers
  4. Next to the Generation 4 server, click Manage
  5. Select Settings from the top of the page in your account dashboard
  6. In the access section, next to the admin access, click Manage
  7. Select Enable Admin Access (this is actually root account sudo access) 
  8. Now click Save
  9. Admin access is now enabled

Next, Establish a connection:

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.

How To Map Domain Names When Name Servers Don’t Work?

Leave a comment

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.

DNS 1

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.

DNS 2

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.

Automatically Cleanup Attached Media Files When WordPress Post Is Deleted

Leave a comment

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:

  1. Navigate to Plugins -> Add New section
  2. 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.

How To Use PHP-Fast CGI Process Manager On WHM & cPanel Servers?

Leave a comment

PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is a PHP undertaking that provides an alternative way to run PHP scripts on web servers. The cPanel webhosting VPS, 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:

  1. Performance: PHP-FPM is designed for better performance and resource utilization, making it particularly effective for high-traffic websites or applications.
  2. Resource Efficiency: PHP-FPM pools can be configured to allocate resources more effectively, reducing memory usage and improving server responsiveness.
  3. 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.
  4. Isolation: PHP-FPM pools isolate each website’s PHP processes, providing better security and stability.
  5. 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:

  1. Log in to cPanel: Access your cPanel account using your login credentials.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Save Changes: After enabling PHP-FPM and making any necessary configurations, save your changes.
  6. 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.
