    If a customer decides to be a reseller of our products, it can be an easy method of generating revenue income without working too hard.

    Our affiliate system is fully automated, all you need to do is encourage customers to sign up, using your unique affiliate ID as reference. We have pre-programmed a system where you, as our customer, can give your prospective customer a link to click.

    Files must be deleted via FTP, and to delete the contents of the database you must use PHPMyAdmin to delete all the database contents. Please be careful not to erase tables that do not belong to Coppermine.

    [Back to top]
  2. How do I install Coppermine?

    If you have PHP 4/5 and MySQL in the subscription all users can install Coppermine via the Modules Tab in the control panel.

    Our auto-installer automatically copies the files to your website and creates the necessary database tables (on the MySQL 4.1 server). The install path is listed in the control panel.

  3. What is my password and how can I reset it?

    The username for Coppermine is admin and the password is the same as your FTP password. FTP password is located under the FTP Tab in the control panel. If you later change your FTP password the Coppermine password remains the same.

    If you forgot your Coppermine password it can easily be reset cia the PHPMyAdmin SQL management tool for the MySQL 4.1 server.

    To change your password, access the PHPMyAdmin for the 4.1 server (we install it default on the 4.1 server), and type the following:

    update webcpg14x_users set user_password=MD5('newpassword')where user_name='admin';

    Password is now changed to the new password.

  3. Where wil Drupal be installed and what is my password?
    To prevent overwriting important files on a webhosting account we install Drupal in a subdirectory. The subdirectory is:

    Exchange #.# with the current version as listed in the Modules tab. Drupal version 7.0 is installed in the subdirectory /drupal-7.0 on the PHP 5 server.

    The username for Drupal is:

    admin

    The default password selected for Drupal is the password used for FTP. Using the tab FTP the password listed is the default password unless it is later changed.

CMS > WordPress
  1. How can I install WordPress?
    To install WordPress you can either install it yourself with the instructions provided by the WordPress team or you can use our autoinstaller system.

    To use our autoinstaller system:

    * Log into your account from our main website
    * Click the domain name for WordPress installation
    * Click the Tab Modules

    Select the Wordpresss link and our system will install it onto your website.

    The autoinstaller installs Wordpress in a subfolder to eliminate the risk of files already on the website getting overwritten. There is an override function that allows our autoinstaller access to your main catalog/root folder. If the override checkbox is checked any files that have the same name as any of the files in the Wordpress installation system will be overwritten.

    [Back to top]
  2. How can I make WordPress my start page?
    When WordPress is installed we install it in a sub folder. Installing it in a subfolder can eliminate the risk of other files already on the website becoming overwritten. There are an override checkbox that allows our autoinstaller to install the files directly on your websites root folder / and not in a subdirectory (use with caution as described below).

    If you check the override box ANY files that have the same name as the files containing the Wordpress files will be overwritten so take caution when checking the override checkbox if using our autoinstaller system. If you want to make a fresh re-installation of Wordpress you must delete all the tables in MySQL that Wordpress uses before the autoinstaller is used.

    If you already have a Wordpress installation and you want to move it to the root folder you can do this following the instructions below:

    To make Wordpress your default page you have to transfer the files via your FTP program to the root directory.

    1: Transfer all files including all subdirectories to your local machine
    2: Modify the wp-config.php file:

    Change:
    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/Wordpress3');

    to:

    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

    3: After the wp-config.php file has been modified then transfer the files including all subdirectories back to your website. The files must be transferred into the root folder / and not back into the subfolder where Wordpress was installed previously.

    It is not recommended that an existing Wordpress installation is moved from one location to the other. It is possible to do but require that a lot of database changes which we cannot provide support for via e-mail or on our online support system as it is individual for each website what has to be changed.

    The root folder is the top level of all your directories, /Wordpress3 is a subfolder, one level back is the root folder "/"

    [Back to top]
  3. How do I delete my Wordpress blog software?

    If the Wordpress installation has to be reset you must delete tables in the database that are related to Wordpress. Tables related to Wordpress usually starts with w?_. After selecting the correct database for your Wordpress blog in the MySQL tab in our control panel, you must click the database name in the upper left corner in PHPMyAdmin. To delete the tables related to Wordpress you must tick all tables starting with w?_ and use the DROP menu item in the with selected select box. All tables related to your Wordpress blog will be deleted and your Wordpress blog can now be reused as a completely new blog.

    Please make certain that other tables that are not related to Wordpress are not deleted.

    [Back to top]
  4. What database server is selected for WordPress?
    The database server with version 5.0 listed clicking the Tab MySQL is used.
    [Back to top]
  5. Where is WordPress installed?
    WordPress is installed in the directory /Wordpress3 (with uppercase W). If you have requested a PHP 5 server the files is installed on the PHP 5 server (listed in the Tab FTP). If you want to use the PHP 4.3 server instead you must download the files from the PHP 5 server and upload them to the PHP 4.3 server.

DNS
  1. Can I edit the zonefile directly?
    It is possible to make your own DNS zonefile. To edit your own zonefile you can access the template directly beneath the Domain and DNS info tab.

    Default there is no content as the zonefile is created by the DNS manager built into our system. This DNS manager can be accessed from the DNS manager tab.

    Editing your own zonefile is a complex matter and we do not recommend non experts to do this task. If making just a minor error the DNS server will reject the zonefile and refuse to load it. The secondary DNS servers will not copy/transfer a defective zonefile so the secondary DNS servers are still working if making an error.

    To disable the template, just make an empty template, as soon as the empty template is saved the built-in DNS manager will update the zonefile with the current contents in our system.

    [Back to top]
  2. Can I use other DNS servers than yours?
    You can use another DNS server if required. To use our hosting services you must modify the DNS records so they point to the servers allocated by us. Please look in the DNS manager (without modifying any records) on how your domain name DNS records would have been setup if it was hosted on our DNS servers.

    We have already added your domain name to our DNS system in case you later want to move it to our system.

    [Back to top]
  3. How can I HTTP forward from one domain to another?
    To forward your HTTP request from one domain name to another you must log in to your account from our main web site. After you click the domain name you want to forward, click the Tab www forwarder.
    [Back to top]
  4. How can I transfer an domain name to the system?
    All domains that needs to be transferred must be in our system already. If you wish to move a domain name to our system you must create an order first before any transfer can be initiated.

    The process
    To move a domain name to our system you must issue us an AUTHID/EPP code. This code must be requested by your currenct ISP/domainhost. We can not request this on your behalf.

    After transfer
    Each ISP/domain registrar has their own process on how to transfer a domain name out from their system. We are not always notified about a transfer, it is therefore important that we are notified by you so we can update our internal records, otherwise a domain name might be lost within the renewal process.

    [Back to top]
  5. How do I request the AUTH-ID?
    To move your domain name away from our system you need an AUTH-ID. You can request an AUTH-ID directly from our system.

    use the tab "Domain and DNS info" from our control panel. You must log into the control panel from our main web page.

    before you can request an AUTH-ID you must cancel your services with us, this is to prevent issues with renewals of the domain name (which we will no longer do).

    Cancellation of your services with us must be performed in the menu

    Cancel hosting

    If there is any unpaid invoices or the domain is not cancelled the link for request ID is not shown.

    [Back to top]
  6. I've just updated my records, when are they transmitted?
    As soon as you click Save in the DNS manager we update our internal DNS servers and transmit the information immidiately. Other DNS servers have a TTL, short for "Time To Live", this is the time before the worldwide DNS servers own internal DNS records are updated. DNS updates are not instant.

    TTL can be adjusted, but the new TTL is not known by any DNS servers before the old TTL has expired.

    [Back to top]
  7. Move a domain name to our system (not .dk domains)
    To move a domain name to our system, you must first create and order and the order must be processed. After the order is processed your domain name is enabled on our DNS servers.

    Depending on the type of domain name you are transferring, we send you the full instructions when the order i processed in our system. Please read the instructions carefully.

    [Back to top]
  8. Moving my .dk domain do another ISP's DNS server?
    To move your .dk domain to another ISP's DNS server is a task that is completed between the customer and the new provider. We are not involved in the process and do not provide support for this task.

    To move a .dk domain to another ISP's DNS server the DNS server must be a valid DNS server accepted and implemented by dk-hostmaster, your new ISP is responsible for this.

    [Back to top]
  9. Using another MX server to receive e-mail
    If a customer needs to use another server for e-mail instead of ours it's easy to change the MX record for the domain name with our DNS manager. If changing to another MX server our old MX server will stop receiving e-mail even though that the POP3/Imap accounts and the e-mail distribution list is still on the server. To prevent loss of e-mail the server must have an "override flag". This override flag the user must enable before the MX record is changed to prevent loss of e-mail. The override flag can be set in the menu:

    Override MX

    When changing an MX record for a domain name it can take up to 48 hours before the rest of the worlds DNS servers knows about the new MX record, in the mean time some servers will still send e-mail to the "old" server that then again refuses to receive as it is no longer an active mail server for that domain name.

    [Back to top]
  10. What are the IP numbers for the DNS servers?

    DNSIP nummer
    ns1pri.mywebtonet.com81.19.232.30
    ns2.mywebtonet.com81.19.232.29

    [Back to top]
  11. What is a CNAME and A-records? What does an MX record do?
    The DNS system is rather complicated and if a customer is not fully aware of what is modified the result can be loss of e-mail or a disabled website.


    A-record An A-record must point to an IP address.

    Let us say that you have an machine at home with the IP number 121.222.111.100 and want to create sub domain called

    homepc.mydomain.com

    pointing to your server at home. Create an A-Record with homepc on the left side and the IP number on the right. After oyu have finished modifying all your DNS records, click Save. Within 24 hours the DNS record homepc.mydomain.com points to the IP number you entered.
    CNAME recordThe CNAME record is the same an A-record except that a CNAME record must be a existing hostname and can not be an IP number.
    MX recordMX is short for MaileXchanger. As a CNAME record it must be pointing towards an existing hostname.

    Remember to click Save after all the records are modified.

    [Back to top]
  12. Where can I find the free DNS manager?

Email system
  1. How can I adjust the settings on my domain spamfilter?

    The spamfilter in our system is split into two parts.

    The first part is a master setting (the domain name). The second part is for each POP3/Imap accounts.

    POP3/Imap spamlevel settings is adjusted in the POP3/Imap POP3/Imap control panel.

  6. How does the autoresponder work?

    With an autoresponder our system automatically responds to all incoming e-mails with your predefined message. Our autoresponder has a built-in "flooding protection system" that prevents two autoresponders responding to each other more than once. If you send an e-mail to an autoresponder on our system, the autoresponder will only respond once every 3 days to the same e-mail address.

    How do I access my autoresponder panel?
    To access the control panel for your POP3/Imap account, you must use the POP3/Imap control panel.

General information about domains and accounts
  1. Can I have more than one domain for my webhosting package?

    You can add up to 25 domains to your webhosting solution at our system. These domains can be pointed into the same website as your main website. The attached domains are not seperate webhosting solutions, but simply added domains to the same webpage. The benefit of adding other domains to your existing website is that you can register domains that link/are closely related to your main website's domain name or you can add something completely different and this way increase your presence with google and other search engines.

    How can I add domains?
    Via the Tab Add-on domains in the control panel you can add domains to your existing website. These domains does not have to be hosted on our system, and you can even add domain types that you can not even register via our system.

    Adding a domain not hosted with us?
    If adding a domain name not hosting on our DNS servers you must modify that domain names DNS records so the www record points to the website in our system. Your DNS provider knows how to do this.

    Requirements?
    You must have PHP 4/5 included in your subscription in order to use the Add-on domains feature.

PHP
  1. Installing a PHP 5 server?
    When "upgrading" from the control panel to PHP 5.XX it is actually not an "upgrade". We install a completely new webserver with php 5.2/5.3/5.4 (you choose) for your domain name. The benefit of this process is that your "old" website is still running on the "old" server until you are ready to switch over.

    Click the FTP tab to "upgrade". After the upgrade, which takes around 15 minutes, you get FTP access to the new server and can easily develop your site in PHP 5 while the old website is still running on the old server.

    When ready to switch over, and if your domain is hosted on our DNS servers, you must change the ROOTIP and the * record in the DNS server to the new server name's IP address and CNAME. This is easily done from the DNS manager tab.>

    Please look in our FAQ on how to alter/modify your DNS records. If your domain name is not hosted on our servers, you must consult your current DNS host to modify those records. Please be sure that the files needed are transferred to the new server.

    To simplify the product categories we have made a small comparisation. There might be a lot of new "terms" customers in general have not experienced before. We recommend several articles available on google about MySQL,PHP, Frontpage Extensions, Imap and everything else that might occur in this new world of hosting your own website.

Spamsystem
  1. Catch-all account and spam

    If your domain name is set up with a catch-all/* in the e-mail setup, everything that arrives to your domain name that have not already been redirected, will be "dumped" into the account specified as the catch-all/* account.

    Spammers usually send out random e-mails and those will be caught by the catch-all/*. If the catch-all/* is removed remember to add the e-mail addresses to the e-mail list that you currently use otherwise they will be lost/rejected.

    [Back to top]
  2. What are the different spam levels?

    When an e-mail is delivered to one of our mail servers it is processed by our spam filtering engine. This engine tags each e-mail with a number depending on what the contents are and who sent the e-mail.

    SpamlevelRejection
    1-2Aggressive
    3-4Too effective, might reject some non-spam mail
    5-7Recommended by us
    8-12Acceptable but not perfect
    13-99Not effective

    If an e-mail exceeds the spamlevel set by the user, it is rejected and the sender of the e-mail is notified that the e-mail could not be delivered. In most circumstances the sender does not exist or is a flooded e-mail account. If the e-mail is legitimate but somehow did not pass the filter, the user will now know that you did not recieve the e-mail and can try again and changing the content to pass the filter.

    There are two settings in our system, one for the master level of the domain name as set in the Spamfilter Tab, another for each individual POP3/Imap account. The master level have preference over any POP3/Imap account settings.
