You need a dedicated server if that's your intention as you're a resource Hog.

Rulz & Why / Rule #5 - No mass mailing
Last post by Big Kahuna - March 07, 2021, 02:19:03 PM
There are sites which frequently mass email large numbers. That beats up the resources of the server, and would affect other accounts on the server. It also gets the server blocked from a lot of email programs. If that is what you want to do on a server - you really need to find another one to destroy.

Rulz & Why / Rule #4 - Nothing illegal
Last post by Big Kahuna - March 07, 2021, 02:13:46 PM
Child porn, illegal gun sales, illegal drug or paraphernalia, Con games, fraud or any of the like.

Sites doing that will have some policing authority wanting copies of your site and all other information we have on the account - within days (if not hours) of when the site first operates illegally. Again, we don't need the Hassle and the server doesn't need a reputation of needing to be watched. Immediate account termination without refund, once a complaint is verified.

Remember, the sites are frequently backed up and retained for restoration in case of a unlikely problem. That means they're also subject to being handed over in the case of a legitimate subpoena.

While were nit a convent of Nuns, we really only want good neighbors on our server.

Rulz & Why / Rule #3 - Comply with Privacy ...
Last post by Big Kahuna - March 07, 2021, 02:03:48 PM
Every site should have a privacy page. There are many free sites which will help you construct a legal one. If you're not blocking the EU in your Cpanel - you need to comply with their Socialist requirements of web sites with access in the EU.

The reason is you don't need France to sue you and we don't need the hassle of complying to a subpoena.

Rulz & Why / Rule #2 -No video Server sites
Last post by Big Kahuna - March 07, 2021, 01:59:13 PM
We don't throttle resources at BKH, because when a webmaster infrequently does need the heavy use of resources for a brief period (to maybe install a new application), we want him to get it done quickly. Video server sites eat up too much resources to be a good neighbor to others using server. Those found to be doing this will need to have their account immediately terminated.

Rulz & Why / Rule #1 - No Porn Sites
Last post by Big Kahuna - March 07, 2021, 01:54:10 PM
We're not Scoutmasters, but those sites get the server in hot water with search engines, use an excessive amount or resources that hurt others on the server, and an increased liability we don't want. Any account which we are able to verify a complaint of hardcore existing - will be immediately terminated without refund.

This plug in is the easiest way to add Recaptcha to your WordPress - which deters Robots. It also sets you up with Analytics and Adsense. You can do the same manually back and forth between Google's Webmaster Tools and other plugins - but this makes it fast and easy. See the details in your add plugins section on you WordPress.

WordPress Plugins / Plugin Suggestion - Wordfence ...
Last post by Big Kahuna - March 07, 2021, 01:25:34 PM
This is the single most important plugin to install, activate and configure - if you have a WordPress site.

It does a lot of things, the most important of which are:

Limits the number of failed logins (default 20 - but you set) into you member's account and locks out (default 4-hours but you set) for that ip address. Hackers spend a lot of time trying to vandalize an account. Be sure to White list yourvIP address.

Is an anti-virus for your account. Keeps you (or a hacker) from uploading a file with a virus into your Word Press account.

Malware scanner/repair

If you have a WordPress running in your account - it's the firewall security plugin I suggest. The full details are available in your add plugins area. They push you to buy their Premium version for more features, but I've never felt the to.
