How to Enable AutoLoad of your Webmail

July 20th, 2010

Many of us use Webmail to access our emails and SpeedHost.in gives you a choice of three email clients to choose from while accessing your Webmail (Squirrel Mail, Round Cube & Horde)

Usually over time, we all settle for just one email client and to make it automatically load that email client upon your login to webmail we have an AutoLoad feature. To activate this feature, simply log into your webmail and below your favorite email client, there is a link called Enable AutoLoad. Click that link and set the number of seconds it should autoload in. Thats it! You have just making your life a bit easier :)

How can i Create a Custom 404 Error Page?

May 10th, 2010

It’s always a good idea to show a custom 404 Error page, this does 2 things, it tells search engines that they have landed on the wrong page and have a link to the correct one and second if a visitors get to see the custom page they are more likely to click on the link you have there and move to the correct page than just leave your website and go.

You do not need any programming knowledge to create a custom 404 nor do you have to edit .htaccess. From our cpanel you can simply select the 404 Error page and the add your html to it.

To make a custom 404 error page, log on to your cPanel and click Error Pages in the Advance column.
