/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/phpextensionmgr uninstall PHPSuHosin

# download and install older suhosin
wget http://download.suhosin.org/suhosin-0.9.31.tgz
tar zxf suhosin-0.9.31.tgz

phpize
./configure
make

Domain Name – Important Factors about Domain

Important factors about domain name registration.

A factor by factor quality analysis of the domain name unichost.com, as an example, is given below. Useful for website appraisals, and buying and registering domain names.

1. Length

Unichost is a 8 character word. Shorter words make better domain names. At 8 characters unichost.com should make a good domain name.

2. Dictionary Words

Unichost per-se is not a dictionary word but it contains dictionary words. Domain names with dictionary words generally make better domain names than those without. Recommended tool for keyword analysis – www.deckey.com.

3. Top Level Domain

.com is always the best. Full score for TLD factor. People are more likely to type unichost.com than unichost.bz or unichost.me or unichost.info.

4. Distinctivity

Distinctivity is the most important factor of all. unichost.com has a high distinctivity factor. Users will be able to remember unichost.com without much effort. Good choice for a domain name.

Conclusion:

UnicHost.com scored better than 82.883% of 1984314 domain names in the Domometer database.

Website on plesk windows Server asking for Username and password

Website on Plesk Windows Server/Plesk VPS asking for Username and password.

I have recently purchased a Windows VPS with Plesk control panel and have uploaded website files. While visiting my website it is asking for username and password authentication. Now, I haven’t set any authentication on server for any website, what shall I need do?

This is quite common with the sites hosted on windows server with plesk as a control panel. You are not allowed to acces the site whtout authentication – entering username and password. This is not a bug or issue but is related to password synchronization with IIS server. To resolve this, you will need to synchronize the password.

Below given are some simple steps that you will need to follow:

  1. RDP to your windows server as an administrator.
  2. Start>Run>cmd [this will take you to sytem command prompt]
  3. cd to plesk\admin\bin [shortcut is cd %plesk_bin%]
  4. Type websrvmng.exe –update-anon-password –domain-name=yourdomain.com

The above command will synchronize the password and you will require no more password authentication to view the content.

If this doesn’t work for you, then please open a support ticket and we’ll investigate further and fix the issue for you happily.
