Using .htaccess you can very simply redirect your root to a folder on your website. For e.g. when someone would type example.com they would be automatically be redirected to example.com/folder/index.html

To do the above, please add the following line in your .htaccess

RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://example.com/folder/index.html

Please replace example.com and folder with your hosting details.

We have a very user friendly control panel (cPanel) from where you can easily see the total disk space you are using (the right sidebar under the Stats tab.) However sometime you would like to see where exactly is the space used… be it mail or website folders etc.

This is made very simple from the Disk Space Usage button located under the Files tab.
Just click on it and it will show you a detailed graph as well as separate allocations of your disk space.

Yes… and it is very simple also. Please follow the below steps.

1. Login to the webmail program you prefer. You can get there by going to example.com/webmail.

2. Once you have logged into webmail, click on the webmail program of your choice.

3. Copy the url in your address bar. It will look something like:

http://example.com:2095/3rdparty/roundcube/index.php

http://example.com:2095/horde/login.php

http://example.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/login.php

Note: You must replace example.com with your actual domain name in the above examples.

Once you have the URL you’ll be wanting to use, login to your cPanel.

In cPanel, setup a subdomain called something like myemail.example.com (you can do this by clicking on the “subdomains” icon in cPanel). Do NOT use mail.example.com as these particular subdomains are already in use on the server and attempting to use them as subdomains can result in conflicts.

After you’ve setup the subdomain in your cPanel, setup a “redirect” for the subdomain (by clicking on the “subdomains” icon). You will need to setup the redirect so the subdomain goes to the URL of the webmail program of your choice.

By design, CGI has a few simple security features built into it. If a file is breaking these rules, you will receive a 500 Internal Server Error. Some examples of an Internal Server Error are as follows.

1. If a file or directory is writable by others, it will produce an error since this would be an insecure execution of the file.
2. PHP values in your htaccess files are not supported, you must put your custom PHP settings in a php.ini file, or else you will receive an error.
3. If your account is using over 25 processes, 100MB or more per PHP thread, or exceeds a 30 second execution time, you will receive an Internal Server Error.
