[iDNS]

Beware of another Domain Registration Scam. This one from a company named iDNS (Internet Domain Name Services) from Jersey City, New Jersey.

DO NOT CONTACT THIS COMPANY

DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY

If you need help determining your real Domain Registrar, feel free to contact us or use our WHOIS Lookup here..

iDNS are fraudulently sending Domain Expiration Notices pretending to be from your current Domain Name Registrar. Nowhere in their notice do they disclose that they are, in fact, a third party company attempting to get you to switch to them as a Registrar, but that is precisely what they are doing.

Here is an example of the notice.

Create and manage Git™ repositories directly from your cPanel hosting control panel. You can use Git to maintain any set of files and track the history of changes from multiple editors (version control).

[What is SnappyMail?]

Log In To Email With SnappyMail

When you hear about webmail these days, one interface comes to mind.. RoundCube. It is the most commonly used webmail app because it is integrated with cPanel and Plesk control panel systems. While othe webmail apps have fallen to the wayside (Horde, Squirrelmail and others), the development team at RoundCube continue to put out a wonderful product that is fast, versatile, and secure.

So is RoundCube for everybody? Unfortunately no. Especially in it's latest iteration starting in 2024, RoundCube has gone to a vertical preview only model. This decision has been to the dismay of many desktop users who prefer to read their email subjects across the top of the screen and see content of emails across the bottom. RoundCube simply does not support this anymore.

That's why we are happy to provide an alternative called SnappyMail.

What is SnappyMail?
SnappyMail is our new webmail service, replacing Rainloop Webmail on the HostNed members' apps page. It offers a modern, intuitive interface with enhanced performance, security, and search capabilities, designed to provide a superior email experience.

What are the best features of SnappyMail?

How can I access SnappyMail?
To use SnappyMail, you need to be a HostNed member. If you are a member and wish to access SnappyMail, please open a support ticket requesting your domain to be allowed, and our team will set up access for you free of charge.

How is SnappyMail configured for widescreen desktop users?
SnappyMail is preconfigured for horizontal message preview. This layout allows you to view your messages side-by-side with your inbox, making it more convenient for users with widescreen monitors.

Thanks for your question. We see that Wordpress is the most popular by far and we fully support it here. Nothing is totally secure, but the last few years WP has been doing good by helping keep the product as secure as possible. Many have success using a Security Plugin like Wordfence or Securi. They are available in the WP plugin market.

Your hosting includes email with advanced SPAM filtering like Apache Spamassassin. This is controlled by you from your hosting Control Panel (Cpanel or Plesk).

An optimally configured IMAP mailbox enables a Spam email folder called "Spam" where detected SPAM messages are sent to. This keeps your Inbox clean and SPAM-Free

Our policy for SPAM folders is to automatically delete messages therein after 7 days. This allows you ample time to scan the Spam folder periodically for possible False Positives, or messages that should not be there.

SPAM is a problem for everyone at some point or another. To help you fight SPAM, HostNed offers a powerful tool that keeps up-to-date with the very latest pattern recognition software. While most providers offer SpamAssassin with default rules that catches only a limited amount of bad stuff, we allow you to assist yourself and the HostNed community by reporting SPAM messages that make their way through. The technical term is "Server-wide Baysian SpamAssassin Email Rules". It works much like anti-virus software does, but is designed for email systems.

Here is how to use it (HostNed Hosting Only):

   
• First make sure that SpamAssassin is enabled in the Control Panel. See documentation here: Cpanel, Plesk. Just use the basic config. We recommend setting to send all identified SPAM to the folder named "spam".
• Now we need to create two new mail folders in the top level (not inside other folders). One named "Report-spam" and another named "Report-notspam". (Case sensitive, no quotes)
• To use it like a pro, report new SPAM by moving any noticeable SPAM that comes to your Inbox to the folder "Report-spam". The server will check that folder daily for fresh SPAM you added recently. As a courtesy, we do not remove these messages from that folder for a few days, but eventually it will clear itself. The server will use the messages you reported to "learn" what the new SPAM patterns looks like and will attempt to move any incoming messages that match it to your "spam" folder. In case any messages come through into the "spam" that are not really SPAM (false positives), move them into the "Report-notspam" folder you created. Same deal, allow the server a couple days to process the report.
  

This powerful tool can give you the edge in SPAM prevention that are typically reserved only for expensive providers or custom systems.


* Please be respectful of the other community members by REPORTING ONLY ACTUAL SPAM, unwanted messages from legitimate sources are not to be reported here as other users may indeed desire those in their inboxes.

[This is a guide for options available -- and recommended easy way -- for connecting your hosted domain (HostNed) email to your Gmail account.]

This is a guide for options available -- and recommended easy way -- for connecting your hosted domain (HostNed) email to your Gmail account.

Assuming you already have your domain hosted with HostNed:
Your HostNed Web Hosting service already comes with email accounts. This includes standard connection protocols IMAP, POP3, and SMTP to use with various clients and applications (Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, K9 Mail, etc...). The web hosting also includes Webmail for checking your email through any web browser. You can also create email "Forwarders" that redirect mail to a different address.


Hooking Your Email Into Gmail

If you rather use Gmail as a "hub" for your various different email addresses, there are different ways to go about doing that, but the most common way I see is users setting up email "Forwarding" and have that address forward mail to your Gmail account. In your Gmail account you can receive that mail and you can also set up your Gmail account to "send mail as" your @jodywork.com account, that is in Gmail "Settings -> Accounts and Import -> Send Mail As".


Set Up An Email Forwarder

First you need to log in to your hosting Control Panel -- that is either Cpanel or Plesk.

For most domains using Cpanel:
  https://cp3.ssl1.us:2083/
  Cpanel Manual: https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Forwarders

For most domains using Plesk:
  https://p5.ssl1.us:8443 (Linux) or  https://win3.ssl1.us:8443 (IIS)
  Plesk Manual: http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/12.0/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-customer-guide/65702.htm#




Other Options

Even still, there are other ways to achieve this that are more complicated. Also there is the way by changing the MX records and Cnames and various DNS settings to do more direct email management through Gmail, most often combined with Paid Upgraded Google Apps for Business.

What are the main differences between Windows Server 2003 and 2008?

• IP Address: Because Windows Server 2008 will be on a separate server, migrating from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 will mean that your website's IP address will change.
• Scripting Paths: Your website is made up of interconnected script and image files. They all reside on our servers and your scripts (like index.html) tell your browser which to load and where to find them. Migration from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 will physically move your files from one server to another and thus require you to change the paths your scripts use to look for your site files.
• ODBC Drivers: ODBC Drivers allow a web application to make connections to a database. Because these drivers are of a later version in Windows Server 2008 a small change will need to be made when migrating your data.
• CDONTS: CDONTS is a method used to allow a website to send email from a webpage. CDONTS has been replaced with CDOSYS in Windows Server 2008.
• FrontPage: FrontPage Extensions allowed Microsoft FrontPage to communicate with web servers. As this is no longer supported by Microsoft, Frontpage Server Extensions will no longer be available for use on a Windows 2008 server, although Frontpage can still be used in FTP mode to edit and upload web pages.
• Basic/Advanced Password Protection: Basic/Advanced Password Protection is a feature that was provided by us on old Windows Server 2003 hosting packages. This allowed customers to password protect directories in their website. Once you have migrated to Windows Server 2008, this feature will no longer work.
• iHTML: iHTML is only supported by IIS6 and earlier.  As Windows 2008 uses IIS7, iHTML is no longer supported.
• .EXE File Handling: .exe files are executable files. These might simply be files for your users to download or they could be CGI applications which you execute. Our Windows 2008 Server platform handles these files slightly differently to our Windows Server 2003 platform.

Glad to hear you got it working!

I can take a look at this for you.  Please attach your code in reply and state which browser you are using.

One criticism of BBCode is that it does not support alt tags for images (yes, properly the alt attribute, I know).  The alt is notoriously kind for SEO purposes and also for impaired visitors.

Well, I was toying around in the forum and discovered a way to make it work.  A bit of a little hack really.

Here is the format:

Code Select Expand

[img alt=here-is-the-alt]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/ISO_639_Icon_alt.svg[/img]

And here it is parsed below...



If you inspect the code of the page you will see the alt attribute is present.  Do not add quotes and use dashes or underscores (although you MIGHT be able to get away with spaces in some cases).  I can confirm this works on SMF BBcode, but have not tested elsewhere.
