Are you getting the error message "None of the authentication methods supported by this client are supported by your server" when using Outlook?

Users are beginning to see this message more often due to recent internet standards changing to make servers more secure by default.  If you want to get geeky and see the technical reason, you can review here and here.

Fixing this is easy.  In your Outlook Account Settings, go into MORE SETTINGS -> OUTGOING SERVER and enable
"My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication"

Here is a link to a page outlining this in detail for Outlook 2010.

Host Multiple Web Sites - Each with it's own domain name!

Add-on domains are for users of Cpanel (and new Plesk!) control panel services.  They are offered on Linux Custom Plus and greater hosting plans.

In your Control Panel, creation of an addon domain allows you to host an additional domain from within your current server Control Panel interface.  It will have access to it's own databases and email accounts, but they will count against your overall allowance of such.  It is a great solution for those who want to host more than one domain but do not mind doing that from the same Cpanel hosting account.

Cpanel Documentation for Add-on Domains

Alternatively, if you want access to a completely different server Control Panel account for different end users, you may want to consider simply having separate hosting accounts for each of them or use a Reseller Hosting account that allows for hosting of completely independent domains on separate Cpanel accounts.

In the world of server management, we know that FrontPage Sever Extensions are no longer officially supported by Microsoft as newer technologies like Visual Studio and .NET take it's place.  At HostNed, we know that many users still use and rely on FPSE technology and we plan on supporting it as long as possible.  We offer FPSE on both Windows hosting plans and Linux hosting plans.

UPDATE: We are no longer able to offer FPSE, we urge users to use an alternative web development platform. We support all major web-based scripts like Wordpress, Joomla, Concrete 5, and many more.

Website Design
Efficient website development calls for specialized skills and expertise. That, in turn, implies that the compensation package of a professional web developer would be slightly higher than the employees involved in other, routine tasks. Is the website developer you have hired ideally suited to take your website to the next level? The answer would be positive, only if (s)he has in-depth knowledge on the following:


       
  • Coding techniques – The developer should be able to make use of the latest programming and coding languages, to lend a smarter edge to your web design & development plans. Right from HTML, Javascript and PHP methods, to the more advanced Dot Net and Ruby platforms – a professional website developer should be equally at ease, while working with any of them. (S)he should also have a clear idea of how CSS stylesheets should be used.
  • Layout development methods – The back-end coding expertise of the developer you have hired might be impressive enough, but can (s)he improve the layout and visual appeal of your website as well? Ideally, the developer should be aware of the different tables, frames lists and forms, which make the front-end interface of the website more user-friendly.
  • Latest search engine optimization (SEO) information – Unless the online solutions prescribed by your website developer is in keeping with the prevailing SEO norms and regulations, the online visibility of your website can suffer. Make sure that (s)he has a clear idea of the latest updates in the Google search algorithms (e.g, the Panda and the Penguin updates) – and the changes in website development plans that they necessitate. Find out more about recent changes in search engine algorithms over here.
  • Processing and/or editing website images – The website design experts need to work in close collaboration with the website developer, in this regard. The latter should, in particular, be aware of all the tools and applications (e.g., Photoshop) that are used to process pictures on websites. Using relevant images on your web pages is all very fine – but the snaps should be properly edited and processed too.
  • Version control techniques – Over time, the scope of your business would expand – and so would your web design & development plans. Apart from being able to develop properly scalable websites, the developer should also have the expertise to keep backup copies of the previous 'versions' or 'copies' of your website. They might be required at any time for reference – or even in place of the newer version (in case it is not successful).
  • Troubleshooting and website debugging – The task of a website developer does not end with the creation of a smart and efficient website. Technical glitches and other related problems can crop up – and (s)he should be qualified enough to rectify such issues as soon as possible. That would rule out risks of extended downtimes for your website. The developer should also have the knowledge of testing your website on different browsers. Click here to read more about cross-browser functionality of websites.
  • Awareness of the statutory regulations and copyright issues – Photos on Flickr photostream, and copyrighted codes might seem to be ideal for your website development plans – but using them indiscriminately can lead to legal hassles. The developer you have hired should stay updated about the latest cyber regulations and laws. None of the actions that (s)he pursues, should violate these laws.
A good website developer should also make sure that you have a clear idea of the nature and purpose of the different codes used on your website. (S)he should have the knowledge to make the URLs of the different web pages shorter and more SEO-friendly too. Once you make sure that your web developer has adequate knowledge of the above-mentioned points, you can rest assured that (s)he will indeed offer good value-for-money.

This video shows how to use http://www.ftplive.com, a web browser-based FTP tool, to edit a web file.  In this example, we are just going to add in some simple HTML code to an html file.  A handy service for making minor text and code changes to files on your web server.  No software is required, just a web browser!

As part of our most recent server upgrades, our Cpanel servers (CP2 and CP3) have changed from DSO to FastGGI.  This brings us faster page loading times and more security.

Additionally the servers now have much better support for Wordpress users.

This change also renders certain .htaccess directives invalid now, they no longer support php_flag and php_value commands.  In fact, including these commands now will render an error 500 and the site will not load properly.  If you have this problem, go in to your .htaccess file and check for lines that contain these directives and if present, comment them out or remove them. 

Register_globals is now fully off.  PHP has been phasing out the register_globals function over the past few years and to stay up to speed, HostNed has now fully dropped support for this.

If you require assistance or have any questions, just open a support ticket and we will happilly assist you  :)

Happy Webmastering!

We are pleased to announce that for those who use Cpanel hosting, Mail Filtering is now available for users of RoundCube Webmail.  To access the filters, go to SETTINGS in the webmail.

ENJOY!
:)

The mail filtering is client-side, so that means it will only filter when using RoundCube.  If you switch to SquirrelMail or Horde, the filters will not apply there.
