Application Tips & Questions / Admin Usernames and Passwords
Last post by Big Kahuna - October 26, 2019, 11:16:35 AM
The world is littered with assholes trying to hack into your applications and hosting accounts for various reasons. They cover the range of just being a malicious asshole to using your hosting account's email processing to spoof and spam the world.

Most Applications when installed default to the username of admin. Using that as your username solves half of the hacker's problem. Change it to something else - like your most used Forum Handle. Use at least 6 characters. Use a complicated (mixture of numbers, upper and lower case letters & symbols) password that you can remember. If you grew up on 486 Wood St as a kid - try <486^WoodSt>. If your first car was a 1972 Mercury Comet  - maybe use something like 1972@Mercury@Comet

Word Press is the easiest way to set up a web site. Most small sites on the Interweb are Word Press. There are thousands of (Free & "Premium") themes and addons, making it super simple to give each site a custom look.

Pmwiki is a lighter version clone of MediaWiki. It still uses the standard Wiki Markup Language that most all use to format your pages. Wikis are a little complicated and take some practice to get use to, but the average computer user can pick up by clicking Edit an the page of any Wiki to see examples of how it was used.

Big Kahuna Hosting can install the if you prefer someone with experience doing it.

Wikis / MediaWiki

If you've ever been to Wikipedia, then you've seen Wikimedia, as it was written for Wikipedia.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki

Many companies use it to put together the operations manual for their company, and delicate various sections to different people to collaborate on. Others use it to put together a historical encyclopedia of a certain item. MoparWiki is an example of that. http://moparwiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

Wikis have a little Complexity to them because most use a formatting language. It is easy to pick up, but will take a little practice. Because Media was written to control the World's Largest Encyclopedia, the installation and upgrades are complicated and best left to pros. Even configuration (if you want to customize) is best kept to the pros. http://www.bigkahunahosting.com/hosting-services/

MediaWiki will use one Database.
