In this article we will demonstrate how to install Certbot on Debian 11 Linux server for generating a Standard or Wildcard LetsEncrypt SSL Certificate.

Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the nonprofit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). Certbot, developed as well by ISRG, is a free, open source tool for generating and install Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificates.

If you have a cPanel hosting account with NetShop ISP, then you can install Let’s Encrypt in a single click. Customers using Linux servers without any control panel, will need to install Certbot in order to get a free SSL installed on their server.

In this article we will demonstrate how to install Certbot on Debian 11 Linux server for generating a Standard or Wildcard LetsEncrypt SSL Certificate.

Before going to the commands to install Certbot, take a look on the pre-requisites before you start.

Pre-requisites

• Debian 11 installed on Server (can be virtual or dedicated – doesn’t matter)
• SSH with sudo or root access
• Comfort with linux commands
• Port 80 and 443 allowed on firewall/iptables

Step-by-step instructions to install Certbot on Debian 11

Step 1. Install snapd

doe@localhost:~$ sudo apt update
doe@localhost:~$ sudo apt install snapd

Once snapd is installed, exit the ssh terminal and re-login to ensure snap’s paths are updated properly.

Step 2. Update snapd

Once you are back on the terminal, install the core snap to ensure the latest version of snapd is installed. Execute the following command:

doe@localhost:~$ sudo snap install core

Step 3. Remove previous Certbot packages

Before installing Certbot snap, you need to ensure any previous installations of Certbot packages are completely removed from the server. You can do so by executing this command:

doe@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get remove certbot

Step 4. Install Certbot

The following command will install Certbot on your Debian server:

doe@localhost:~$ sudo snap install --classic certbot

Once certbot is installed, execute the following command to ensure the ‘certbot’ command can be run:

doe@localhost:~$ sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot

Step 5. Generate Wildcard SSL Certificate with Let’s Encrypt

Using the Certbot we just installed, we are going to create our first wildcard certificate. For the sake of this example we will use the domain *.freessl.xyz.

doe@localhost:~$ sudo certbot certonly --manula --preferred-challenges=dns --email webmaster@freessl.xyz --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --agree-tos -d *.freessl.xyz

Note: Since we are generated a wildcard ssl certificate make sure you add the domain with *. in the beginning.

DO NOT hit Enter when prompted, until you complete the Step 6 as described below.

Step 6. Verify Domain Ownership via DNS

After executing the command in Step 5, Certbot will generate a TXT record which you will need to add to your DNS. This is to verify you are in control/ownership of the Domain.

Step 7. Retrieve your new Let’s Encrypt Certificate

Once you have confirmed the new TXT record has propagated, go back to the SSH console and hit Enter. Certbot will generate the SSL certificate and the required Key.

The Certificate and Key files (.pem) will be stored under /etc/letsencrypt/live/<your_domain>/.

Congratulations! You have successfully generated a Wildcard LetsEncrypt SSL through Certbot.

In this article we will provide the steps you need to follow in order to install a Custom SnapAPI module on your Linux CentOS 8.4+ / CentOS Stream server.

If you are trying to install Acronis agent on a server running CentOS 8.4/8.5 or CentOS Stream, then you need to be aware that even though the agent installation will complete successfully, your server/device will appear as Offline in the Acronis Cloud Backup Management portal.

This is because the default SnapAPI version of Acronis agent is not supported on kernel version 4.18* and 5.8*.

The SnapAPI module is in charge of all I/O operations on the hard disk of Acronis software. Whilst the SnapAPI module is updated automatically during the product update, in this article we will provide the steps you need to follow in order to install a Custom SnapAPI module on your Linux CentOS server.

Steps to Install a Custom SnapAPI module on Linux Server

1. Connect on your Linux server via ssh and run the following command:

root@server:~$ wget https://dl.acronis.com/u/kb/67243/snapapi26_modules-0.7.140-1.noarch.rpm

2. Stop the Acronis process/service:

root@server:~$ systemctl stop acronis_mms

3. Remove existing SnapAPI module from the kernel (replace snapapi24 with the correct version of what’s currently installed on your server)

root@server:~$ rmmod snapapi26

4. Check SnapAPI version

root@server:~$  dkms status

A sample output from the command in step 4 is:

file_protector/1.1-1509, 4.18.0-348.7.1.el8_5.x86_64, x86_64: installed
snapapi26/0.8.18, 4.18.0-348.7.1.el8_5.x86_64, x86_64: installed

5. Remove SnapAPI from the dkms tree

root@server:~$ dkms remove -m snapapi26 -v 0.8.18 --all

* The “0.8.18” is the version of SnapAPI as found from the command output in Step 4.

Then proceed to the following command to entirely delete any traces of the SnapAPI module:

root@server:~$ rm -rf /usr/src/snapapi*

6. Install SnapAPI from the rpm package we downloaded in Step 1.

root@server:~$ rpm -Uhv snapapi26_modules-0.7.140-1.noarch.rpm --nodeps

7. Add tarball to the dkms tree

root@server:~$ dkms ldtarball /usr/lib/Acronis/kernel_modules/snapapi26-0.8.18-all.tar.gz

Sample output from command in Step 7 is:

Loading tarball for snapapi26-0.8.18
Loading /var/lib/dkms/snapapi26/0.8.18/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5/i686…
Loading /var/lib/dkms/snapapi26/0.8.18/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5/x86_64…

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/snapapi26/0.8.18/source -> /usr/src/snapapi26-0.8.18

8. Build and Install the new SnapAPI module

root@server:~$ dkms build -m snapapi26 -v 0.8.18 && dkms install -m snapapi26 -v 0.8.18

9. Load the snapapi26 kernel module

root@server:~$ modprobe snapapi26

10. Finally, start the Acronis service

root@server:~$ systemctl start acronis_mms

You are all set! Allow a few minutes and then login to the Acronis management portal. If all went well, you should be able to view and manage your new Linux server device.

Website hosting for adult content can be somewhat of a sensitive issue, so some consideration needs to be taken when deciding on your hosting location and provider. Adult content is anything that is deemed suitable for those over the legal age, which varies by country.

Adult themed content is most commonly thought to be pornography, but in fact covers an array of other services and products that are designed for an adult audience, such as gambling, tobacco and alcohol. In order to operate any such website safely and efficiently, your choice of hosting location is crucial.

With many providers opting to host their content offshore, we did the research on the best offshore locations for adult website hosting so you don’t have to.

What is offshore hosting

Simply put, offshore hosting is hosting your website anywhere other than the country that you reside or operate in. This is usually done for a specific purpose, like anonymity, protection, lower latency to the countries that you are serving, as well as for hosting adult content.

Best Offshore Countries to Host Adult Websites

The Netherlands

The Netherlands is amongst the most favourable locations for offshore hosting for a variety of reasons. Home to advanced technological infrastructure and the second largest internet exchange in the world (AMS-IX), hosting in the Netherlands offers some of the fastest internet speeds in Europe. The Netherland’s strong data protection laws and commitment to confidentiality makes it the ideal location for operators seeking to host adult-themed content.

United States

With relatively lenient regulations surrounding adult content, the United States is also a good choice for website hosting. Operators can expect leeway in terms of the content that they host in the US, as long as it isn’t breaking any laws. In addition to that, the United States offers robust infrastructure and high-speed internet connections that are required for any successful website.

Cyprus

Cyprus is becoming an increasingly popular location for adult website hosting. The country is known for its hospitality business environment and low corporate tax rate, which is attracting an increasing number of investors and business owners. Cyprus has liberal laws when it comes to adult content, as well as a developed infrastructure and the high-speed connectivity required for an adult website.

Malta

For years, Malta has heavily invested in its digital infrastructure, making the small country a global tech hub. Many tech start-ups, entrepreneurs and established businesses favor Malta due to low corporate tax rate, as well as its ranking as one of the safest countries in the world for natural disasters. In terms of hosting adult content, Malta is an optimal location, and especially popular for iGaming websites.

In this article we will break down the five main advantages of fully managed web hosting, and how it can benefit your business.

Fully managed web hosting is an optimal solution for business owners who don’t have the time, resources or capacity to manage their own IT infrastructure. Just as it sounds, fully managed web hosting is hosting that is managed entirely by the web hosting provider and includes tasks like server configuration, backups and support of the physical server.

By alleviating any server-related concerns, business owners are able to prioritise running their business whilst knowing the technical aspects are being taken care of. In this article we will break down the five main advantages of fully managed web hosting, and how it can benefit your business.

Why Opt for Fully Managed Web Hosting

Reduce Operating Costs

Although at a glance fully managed web hosting costs more than self-managed, it is actually a more cost-effective solution in the long run. Fully managed web hosting eliminates any hidden or extra fees, as well as the costly expense of hiring full-time IT staff to manage your servers. It’s also an effective way to budget as you will be paying a recurring fee, without any unpredictable charges.

24/7 Support

Having around-the-clock support at your fingertips is probably one of the biggest benefits of fully managed web hosting. When issues arise, having a team of professionals to assist you not only provides peace of mind but will also save you time, money and, in some cases, your business’ reputation. Fully managed web hosting includes continuous monitoring, meaning any issue will be resolved in such a timely manner that you may not even know it occurred!

Greater Security

The importance of online security is one that simply cannot be overlooked. Data protection and security-related protocols should be a top priority for all business owners. By opting for fully managed web hosting you reduce the risk of vulnerabilities and security breaches. Your web hosting provider will not only implement the necessary security software, but also closely monitor the condition of your server, making you less susceptible to being the target of an attack.

Time Saving

As the saying goes, time is money. Fully managed web hosting is guaranteed to save you time and hassle so that you can focus on what’s important – running your business. Server management can at times be a full time job, so having that taken care of is definitely beneficial for any size business.

Enhanced Performance

With a fully managed web hosting, you’re guaranteed heightened performance. You will experience less downtime, benefit from routine backups and overall a much better performing website or app. Your web hosting provider will ensure that your website is running smoothly, which will ultimately deliver better results for your business.

By popular demand we are providing the best and most reliable way to migrate your emails from one cPanel server to another without having access to cPanel/WHM Transfer tool.

The easiest way to migrate emails from one cPanel server to another is using the Transfer Tool which is part of cPanel’s WHM interface. There are times that web hosting companies will disable the Transfer tool to prevent customers from migrating away.

If you are a web hosting Reseller without access to the Transfer tool, or if you are hosted on a shared cPanel account without access to WHM, then migrating e-mails to another server can be a headache.

By popular demand we are providing the best and most reliable way to migrate your emails from one cPanel server to another without having access to cPanel/WHM Transfer tool.

Steps to Migrate Emails from cPanel to cPanel

Step 1 – Create Email Account on Destination cPanel

First step is to create the email account on your destination cPanel account. Assuming you are going to transfer info@your-domain.com from source cPanel, then create the same email account to the new cPanel server.

Step 2 – Backup Mail Folder on Source cPanel server

All email messages can be found within the “mail” directory of your cPanel account. In this step you need to access File Manager on your source cPanel server, compress the “mail” folder and download it. You will use this compressed/zip file later on to restore mails on your destination cPanel.

Select the “Zip Archive” option, then give your compressed file a relative name (e.g. mail-backup.zip) and click “Compress Files”. This will generate a .zip file of your “mail” folder within the home directory of your cPanel account.

Step 3 – Restore the Mail Backup File to the destination cPanel Server

At this point you are ready to restore/import the compressed mail folder to the new server.

To do so, login to the destination cPanel account and click “File Manager” as shown below.

Then, click the “Upload” button and a new page will open where you need to browse your local computer and select the “mail-backup.zip” file which you exported earlier from the source server.

Once the file is uploaded, navigate back to File Manager tab, right-click on the newly uploaded zip file and click “Extract“.

All set! You have successfully migrated all email accounts and mail content from one cPanel server to another!

In this article we will take a look at the best and most popular regions to host a server in 2023, with an emphasis on infrastructure, data privacy regulations and costs.

When deciding on a hosting location, it’s important to recognize that the region you choose to host your server in can have a significant impact on the performance of your website or application. In order to ensure that your users have the best possible experience, it’s crucial to first make an assessment of your target audience, and carry out thorough research on the infrastructure and stability of the regions that you’re considering.

In this article we will take a look at the best and most popular regions to host a server in 2023, with an emphasis on infrastructure, data privacy regulations and costs.

How to Choose the Best Region to Host your Server

Before you begin looking into different regions to host your server, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the target audience you intend to serve. By doing this, you will automatically eliminate regions that are not within close proximity, as hosting your server far away from your user base will result in higher latency and slower loading times that could be detrimental to your business.

It’s also advisable to consider the content which you will be hosting. For instance, if you intend on hosting adult-themed content, such as an iGaming website, you would need to make sure that you choose a country whose laws and regulations align with those specific business needs.

Finally, consideration should be given to the infrastructure of potential regions, safety in terms of natural disasters, as well as a look at the average costs for hosting a server in that location, and whether that suits your budget.

Top 3 Regions to Host your Server in 2023

Europe

Europe is an excellent region to host your server in 2023, due to its strong infrastructure, robust networks and advanced technology. In fact, the Netherlands is one of the most in-demand locations for server hosting due to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) and transatlantic fiber optic connections, as well as the country’s strong data protection laws and affordability.  

The UK is another popular location in Europe for server hosting, especially for those within the financial industries wishing to take advantage of the country’s time zone when trading Forex. Followed by Malta and Cyprus, both of which are increasingly popular locations for server hosting, as well as company formation services, due to their attractive business environment and low corporate tax rates.

Asia

With Singapore and Hong Kong being amongst the world’s leading financial centers, hosting a server in either of these locations can be hugely beneficial to Forex traders in 2023. Those operating in the Asia-Pacific region can benefit from low latency networks, high-speed connectivity and strict data protection laws, as well as the close proximity to other major financial markets in the region.

Latin America

Home to some of the fastest growing tech companies, Latin America is amongst the most popular locations for server hosting right now due to its advancing technological infrastructure and optimal geographical location. Brazil in particular has become highly sought-after, especially for Forex and iGaming businesses seeking to establish themselves within the region.

In today’s article we will demonstrate how to easily setup SPF and DKIM records on cPanel control panel.

In a previous article we explained the four ways one can implement to improving the email deliverability to Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo. One of these ways/steps is to ensure you have the correct DKIM and SPF records setup on your e-mail server.

In today’s article we will demonstrate how to easily setup SPF and DKIM records on cPanel control panel.

What is SPF

SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework and is another excellent email authentication mechanism for email delivery and security. SPF protects domain owners from spoofing by allowing them to whitelist IP addresses of servers that are allowed to send email on their behalf.
SPF authentication fails if a mail server with an IP address that is not on the list attempts to send email through that domain.

What is DKIM

DomainKeys Identified Mail is a technical standard that helps email senders and recipients protect themselves from spam, spoofing, and phishing. DKIM acts as a gatekeeper that verifies the authenticity of email messages.
Each email is signed with a private key that is verified by the recipient’s email server or Internet Service Provider (ISP) using the Domain Name System (DNS). The DNS converts domain names into IP addresses and allows you to use your web browser to find websites and send and receive e-mail. Its main task is to make sure that the email message has not been modified during transmission.

Steps to Configure SPF and DKIM on cPanel

The following steps and screenshots are made via the latest cPanel Jupiter theme. Actual settings may be the same in older cPanel themes; if not, please contact our support team for further assistance.

Step 1: Login to cPanel, go to Email section and then click the “Email Deliverability” option as shown below.

Step 2 – Click “Manage” next to the domain for which you wish to setup the SPF and DKIM. If you don’t have any aliases or addon domains, then you will see only one domain name.

Step 3 – Click the “Generate Local DKIM Key” button as shown below. This will enable DKIM and auto-configure the required record on DNS level.

Step 4 – To generate the SPF record click the “Install the Suggested Record”

Step 5 – Reverse DNS (PTR) is also important to ensuring your emails are delivered to the recipient’s INBOX. If you see a “PROBLEMS EXIST” next to the PTR section, then contact your hosting provider to do the necessary PTR record on your domain name.

If all went well, you should see all three sections (DKIM, SPF, Reverse DNS) with a “VALID” message, as shown below.

That’s all, you have now completed all necessary steps for setting up DKIM and SPF records on your cPanel account.

Follow this step-by-step guide to help you install and configure your Expert Advisor on MT5 through your Windows VPS server.

If you’re a forex trader looking for an efficient and automated trading solution, Expert Advisors (EA’s) are your answer. EA’s are specialized software programs that automate your trade execution and analysis on the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform.

However, installing these EAs on your Windows Virtual Private Server (VPS) can be challenging for someone who is not well-versed in such technical processes.

To help you out with that, we’ve created this step-by-step guide to help you install and configure your Expert Advisor on MT5 successfully.

Step 1: Rent a Windows VPS

The first step towards installing an Expert Advisor on MT5 is renting a Windows VPS. Make sure that the VPS has a sufficient amount of RAM and processing power. Also, ensure that the VPS is running on Windows OS, as MT5 is compatible only with Windows-based systems.

Step 2: Install MetaTrader 5 on your VPS

Next, you need to download and install the MetaTrader 5 trading platform on your VPS. You can download the MT5 setup from the official website and follow the instructions to install it on your VPS.

Step 3: Launch your MT5 platform

Once you’ve installed MT5, launch it and sign in using your login credentials. After logging in, you will see a “Navigator” window on the left side of the screen.

Step 4: Locate the “Expert Advisors” folder

To install an Expert Advisor on MT5, you need to locate the “Expert Advisors” folder. Go to the “File” menu and select “Open Data Folder”. Then, navigate to the “MQL5” folder and click on “Experts”. This is where you need to place your Expert Advisor file.

Step 5: Download your Expert Advisor file

Before we move on with the installation process, you need to have an Expert Advisor file. You can either create one yourself or download a pre-made EA from a reputable provider.

Step 6: Copy and paste the EA file into the “Expert Advisors” folder

After downloading your Expert Advisor file, copy it and navigate back to the Expert Advisors folder in your MT5 platform. Right-click on the folder and select “Paste” to move the file into the folder.

Step 7: Close and reopen your MT5 platform

To ensure that MT5 recognizes your newly installed Expert Advisor, you need to close and reopen the platform.

Step 8: Navigate to the “Expert Advisors” section

Once you’ve relaunched your MT5 platform, go to the “Navigator” window and select “Expert Advisors”. This will display all of the Expert Advisors that are currently available in your platform.

Step 9: Drag and drop your Expert Advisor file onto a chart

To activate your Expert Advisor, you need to drag and drop the file onto a chart. Select the Expert Advisor from the Navigator window, drag it onto a chart, and then select the “Allow live trading” option.

Step 10: Configure your Expert Advisor settings

Once your Expert Advisor is activated, you need to configure its settings. Go to the “Inputs” tab in the Expert Advisor properties window. Here, you can adjust parameters such as lot size, stop loss, take profit, and other settings depending on your trading strategy.

In conclusion, installing an Expert Advisor on MT5 is not as hard as you might have thought. By following these steps, you can install and configure your EA within minutes, ensuring that the automation process works flawlessly for you. It’s important to remember that once your EA is up and running, you should monitor it regularly to make sure that it is working according to your trading plan. Happy trading!

We have prepared a comprehensive guide on how to improve your email deliverability rates and make sure that your emails reach their intended destination.

One of the most common issues businesses are facing in 2023 is their e-mails ending up in recipient’s spam/junk folder. This problem is often encountered when you are sending email to gmail.com, hotmail.com, live.com and outlook.com. Google and Microsoft (owners of the abovementioned email domains) have strengthen the sensitivity of their spam filters causing legitimate e-mails to be marked as SPAM.

We have prepared a comprehensive guide on how to improve your email deliverability rates and make sure that your emails reach their intended destination.

Step 1: Check Your IP Reputation

One of the first things you should do is check your IP reputation. This is because many email providers use a variety of methods to determine whether an incoming email is spam or not. If your IP address has been flagged as sending spam in the past, your emails will be more likely to end up in the recipient’s spam folder. Therefore, it is important to regularly check your IP reputation to see if you need to take action to improve it.

To check your IP reputation, you can use a tool such as MXToolbox. Simply enter your IP address into the tool and it will provide you with a detailed report on your reputation.

Step 2: Set Up an SPF Record

Another important step in improving your outgoing email deliverability is to set up an SPF record. This stands for Sender Policy Framework and is a method of verifying that the email is originating from an authorized server. By setting up an SPF record, you are essentially telling receiving email servers that your domain is authorized to send email on your behalf.

To set up an SPF record, you will need to access your DNS settings and add a TXT record. The exact steps will vary depending on your DNS provider, but most will have instructions on how to add a TXT record. You will need to enter the following information:

v=spf1 include:_spf.yourdomain.com ~all

This tells receiving email servers that the domain “yourdomain.com” is authorized to send email on your behalf.

Step 3: Implement DKIM Signing

Another important method of verifying your emails is through DKIM signing. This stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail and is a way of adding a digital signature to your emails to prove that they originated from your domain. This can help to prevent your emails from being marked as spam.

To implement DKIM signing, you will need to generate a public and private key pair. You can do this within the Zimbra Admin Console by navigating to Configure > Global Settings > SMTP Authentication.

From there, click on the DKIM tab and follow the instructions to generate your keys.

Once you have generated your keys, you will need to add DNS records for your public key. Again, the exact steps will vary depending on your DNS provider, but you will need to add a TXT record with the following information:

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=

This tells receiving email servers to look for a DKIM signature in your emails and to verify that it matches the public key in your DNS records.

Step 4: Improve Content and Engagement Rate

If you find that your deliverability rates are still not where you would like them to be, there are a few additional steps you can take. For example, you can work on improving your email content to make sure that it is not being flagged as spam by email filters.

To improve your email content and engagement rates, consider using personalized messages and targeting specific segments of your audience. Additionally, avoid using spammy words or phrases such as “free,” “earn money fast,” or “act now.”

When it comes to links and attachments, be mindful of how many you include in your emails. Too many links or attachments can trigger spam filters and negatively impact your deliverability rates.

Finally, be sure to format your emails properly, including clear and concise subject lines, well-written and grammatically correct content, and an easy-to-read layout.

Conclusion

In conclusion, by following these steps, you can significantly improve your outgoing email deliverability when using Zimbra-based emails. Remember to regularly monitor your deliverability rates and take action if necessary to continue improving your email deliverability.

Finally, it is important to monitor your deliverability rates to see if they have improved. You can use a tool such as Mail Tester to test your deliverability rates and identify any potential issues.
