5. THIS IS WHM
 WHM – Parent of cpanel – Umbrella..
 You get WHM if you buy dedicated or reseller
or virtual PC hosting
 Cpanel can be found inside WHM
 For basic hosting, you may be given a cpanel
access..
 There can be other open source control
panel that many hosting providers can use...

6.  Some may use their own customized panel...
 I know this is kinda risky and security flaws
can be exploited
 Still showing ...
 Somewhere I installed a helpdesk system for
ticketing...need to check the exact url..
 But from WHM you can configure,..

7.  Just as an example..going off topic looks like...
 http://support.visitorsshop.com/
 http://faq.visitorsshop.com/
 Looking for the opensource software used to
create these sites..
 I have developed helpdesk/ticketing system
from scratch or extending existing stuff as part
of job/consulting..
 Even ITIl aspect of it..

8.  Anyway..you can find a list at sitestree.com
 Not a good idea – i just showed the key..
 I will regenerate the key..
 Using key, you can SSH easily without
having you to login each time using ID/Pass..
 The server knows your Machine...

9.  Copied from WHM
 About keys and remote access...
 Remote access keys allow you to log into your
server without using a password. You can use a
remote access key (or access hash) to authenticate
with WHM’s remote API or DNS clustering features.
If you are using a remote billing solution, you will
probably need to set up a remote access key on all
your cPanel and WHM servers. Read our
documentation for specific information about how to
use remote access keys.

10.  cpanellogd up
 cpsrvd up ftpd up imap up named 9.8.2rc1-
RedHat-9.8.2-0.23.rc1.el6_5.1 up
queueprocd up spamd
 Should turn off ftpd as I am not using it
actually...
 So you can see some server info..and disk
information..probably memory info – not
probably but surely...

11.  All are
 Here you go the cpanel comes..
 Fantastico or quickinstall give you to install
some Open Source software very easily..
 You can see the support related software..

12.  Email accounts – to create email accounts
for your domain
 Boxtrapper/spamassain to prevent/deal with
spam
 Forwarder to forward one email to another
email address..
 Auto responder for example to setup the
vacation messages..

13.  Default address to catch all emails targeted
to the domain..if you set..you can get lots of
spams...
 You can create FTP accounts to give access
for file upload/download..
 Anonymous FTP – publicly open ftp..
 For the most case, you will keep it turned off..
 Backups ..you can create backups of your db
and code/files

14.  Error pages -> you can set the default error
page to show when the error happens..
 You can set 400 error 503 or 500 error
 Cron jobs – you can write script and set it to
run periodically..
 PHP configurations – you can override
php.ini settings..

15.  You can create databases here..
 DB user and access to the db for that user..
 PHPMyAdmin for DB operations..
 For this domain DB is located somewhere else.. Not
remote but in the same server though..set up
differently...
 RemoteMySQl -> you can assign access to your db
from remote host – it can be for administration
purpose or for connection from another application..
 Can open security holes...be carefull..

16.  You can deny some IP to access your site/domain..
 Using the option Google Analytics Integration
 The server will add tracking code automatically if you
set it like that..
 Using other options in that section, you can see your
visitors..
 You can check error-log to see the errors happened
with you site
 Sometimes helps to debug issues..even in
development stage in development/staging server..

17.  This is in short demo on WHM and Cpanel..
 I may show a specific thing in details at a
later time...
 Using WHM – quickinstall manager – you
can set what the users can install from
cpanel..
 WHM can be used when you are selling
hosting..then you can also configure the
cpanel within..

18.  Mod security related to securing your site
 PHP security module..
 Using Packages inside WHM, you can create
hosting packages and set prices for them..
 You can set default features when a new
hosting account will be created...
 You do this when you are offering hosting
services to others..free or paid usually paid..

19.  You can create a feature list
 And assign that to a package..
 To provide support for Microsoft Frontpage...
 To make frontpage be able to communicate
and provide some services for frontpage
clients..to make their experience better..
 You need to check the current security
aspect of it before allowing it for your
clients..or on your own domains/servers..

20.  Good night then...
 Hope to see you again..
