How To Migrate Emails from one cPanel server to another

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.

Click Email Accounts section from cPanel Dashboard
Click Create button to create a new email account in cPanel
Fill-in all details for a new cPanel email account

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.

Access File Manager from cPanel’s Dashboard
Right-click mail folder via File Manager
Right-click mail folder and Click Compress

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.

Compress mail folder in cPanel File Manager

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.

Access File Manager on destination cPanel server to import the mail folder backup file

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.

Click Upload button in File Manager
Choose the compressed mail file from your local PC to upload on the destination cPanel server

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

Extract the compressed file to restore your mail folder to the destination cPanel server

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

Best Regions to Host a Server in 2023

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.

How To Setup DKIM and SPF Records on cPanel (Jupiter theme)

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.

cPanel Email Deliverability Section

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.

cPanel Email Deliverability – Choose Domain

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.

cPanel Generate DKIM Record for Domain

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

cPanel Generate SPF 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.

cPanel Valid SPF and DKIM records

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

4 Ways to Improve Outgoing Email Deliverability to Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo

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.

Sign up for Zimbra Email Hosting account from just €2.99/month (billed annually)

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.

Tips to Choose the Right Forex VPS for Best Expert Advisor (EA) Performance

Choosing the right VPS specifications for your Expert Advisor (EA) can ensure that your trading runs smoothly and efficiently. Here are some tips on how to choose the right VPS specifications for your EA.

When it comes to Forex trading, traders need to have reliable and fast access to the market. This is where a virtual private server (VPS) can make all the difference. By using a VPS, traders can execute trades quickly and take advantage of market opportunities without any delays or interruptions.

However, not all VPS are created equal. Choosing the right VPS specifications for your Expert Advisor (EA) can ensure that your trading runs smoothly and efficiently. Here are some tips on how to choose the right VPS specifications for your EA:

Understand Your EA’s Requirements

The first step in choosing the right VPS specifications for your EA is to understand its requirements. Depending on your EA’s programming language, it might require specific software or hardware specifications. For example, if your EA is built using MetaQuotes Language 4/5 (MQL4/5), then you will need a VPS that supports Windows operating system.

Knowing what your EA needs is essential to finding the most appropriate VPS hosting plan. Check with your EA developer or refer to their documentation to get an idea of the minimum requirements.

CPU Power

The CPU power of the VPS is one of the essential factors that impact the performance of your EA. The CPU is responsible for processing all of the calculations that the EA requires to analyze and execute trades. This means that slow or weak CPUs can cause delays or errors in trade execution.

When choosing a VPS for your EA, look for a provider that offers at least a quad-core CPU. Additionally, check the CPU clock speed, which is measured in GHz. The higher the clock speed, the faster the CPU can complete calculations.

RAM

Random Access Memory (RAM) is another important factor when choosing a VPS for Forex trading. RAM is responsible for temporarily storing data that the CPU needs to access quickly. Without enough RAM, the VPS may experience performance issues or even crashing.

If your EA requires a lot of memory, then it’s recommended to choose a VPS with at least 2GB of RAM. However, if you’re running multiple EAs or other applications on your VPS, then you may need more RAM.

Disk Space

The amount of storage space provided by the VPS is also important to consider. The EA might require various libraries, trading history data, or other files to operate correctly. Without enough disk space, the VPS can become cluttered and slow.

When looking for a VPS, ensure that it provides enough disk space for your EA’s requirements. At a minimum, consider VPS hosting plans with at least 20 GB of disk space.

Network Latency

Network latency refers to the time it takes for data to travel between the VPS and the Forex broker server. High latency can lead to slow execution of trades and missed opportunities. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose a VPS provider with low network latency.

Look for providers that have servers located close to the Forex broker’s server. Additionally, check the provider’s network speed and uptime guarantees. Providers that offer solid-state drives (SSDs) can also improve network latency and overall VPS performance.

Conclusion

In summary, choosing the right VPS specifications for your EA can significantly impact your Forex trading experience. Make sure to understand your EA’s requirements, choose a VPS with adequate CPU power, RAM, disk space, and low network latency. By following these tips, you can ensure that your Forex trading runs smoothly and efficiently, providing you with more opportunities to profit from the market.
