    SSL – is it possible/worth it?

    Thanks Eric, I just checked that out (it's the first button). There's a check box at the bottom saying "Force SSL with https redirect"; I'm wondering about any implications that has for Google search, etc. Anyhow, I'm on the Discord channel at the moment, pestering people with my worries...

    SSL – is it possible/worth it?

    Rejigging my site (colourmusic.x10host.com), I've looked a little into SSL. Maybe I don't need it. (It's a non-commercial site, with no public interaction other than look and read.) But maybe Princess Google might smile more kindly upon an https, and bump me up her list. LetsEncrypt...

    Resolved Logging in to DirectAdmin

    Again, you're a genius, spacresx! Logon to DirectAdmin is the same as to this forum – same user name, same password. Who would have thunk it? The only difference is the URL to the logon page. You mention the x15 server, spacresx. Mine is x13, so I can login at –...

    Resolved Logging in to DirectAdmin

    A small thing... When I log out of DirectAdmin, a login page appears (bright blue, branded X10hosting). Despite trying all combinations of user names and passwords, it refuses to let me back in. Is it a dud page? Or am I missing some passwords? (DirectAdmin lists some mysterious "keys".) It's no...

    Domain

    Thanks, you x10ers. Let me clarify my position... I'm happy to stay on the free site; it's perfectly fine. My only real problem is the tag "colourmusic.info" will expire in a month. It seems I could just scrap it, & go with "colourmusic.x10host.com". There are a couple of problems with that –...

    Domain

    So, is that for one of the free sites (or are you one of those exclusive Premium types)? I s'pose what I'm asking is, does x10hosting act as just a domain registrar, for people with free hosting? That would be much cheaper than signing up to Premium, just for a free domain name. After all, mine...

    Domain

    ...and I think you're right, spacresx. About .info & free domain names, I mean. Apparently Premium offers the following domain name suffixes – .x10.mx .x10.biz .pcriot.com .elementfx.com I suppose one's individual name is a prefix, a sub-domain of one of these.

    Domain

    It's hard to tell, spacresx. The Premium page says: "All of the .com, .net, .org, and .info TLDs are only $9.95 per year." but that is for standard registration, I presume. It does not specify if those are possible free domains, for 2 or 3 year contracts. It's also lower than Eric's $18.99/yr...

    Domain

    Hello, Eric. It's good to know it works for you, too. So that aspect looks OK. You're really tempting me with your cheaper registrar. (My present one – Crazy Domains – wants $38.99/yr !?#@!!) I suppose that's on condition of going premium, so I looked at the premium page. The 3 year deal says...

    Domain

    My domain will be de-registered soon (since I can't afford their whopping price hike). It is currently at – colourmusic.info Can I use my domain here as a substitute, so anyone can go there? colourmusic.x10host.com (It works for me, so hopefully for others...)

    requesting unsuspension

    Please can you unsuspend me? User name: colourmu Domain: colourmusic.x10host,com I don't know what happened - is it something to do with a warning about inactive accounts, that began to appear on the logon page? (I went through some rigmarole with that some months back, even though it did not...

    Resolved Should I change A Records?

    Thanks, Anna. No Internet Explorer here, thanks very much (Firefox mostly, though quite antique - v.48.0.1). (It might also interest you to know at least one Australian ISP has been forced to close, due to cPanel's corporate venturing!)

    Resolved Should I change A Records?

    I noticed the latest post by Anna, recommending updates to A Records. My domain name [colourmusic.info] is registered with Crazy Domains: under 'DNS Settings' they include A Records: colourmusic.info > 203.170.80.250 & www.colourmusic.info > 203.170.80.250 Should I change these to the number...

    Cannot get in to DirectAdmin

    Thanks for getting back so promptly, Anna. Unfortunately, so far, it tells me: "Oops... something went wrong! Problems loading the skin appeared for 3rd time in a row. Please contact tech support for troubleshooting. If the problem does not resolve after refresh, you may reset the skin to...

    Cannot get in to DirectAdmin

    I have a problem connecting to DirectAdmin. Some time after clicking the "cPanel" button, I was given a page that told me to retry to reconnect. It takes me back to the x10hosting page. This happened three times. On the third try, a login page for DirectAdmin appears. With every attempt it tells...

    DirectAdmin & pesky script

    After many attempts, I can't get to files with File Manager, on DirectAdmin. Every time I get close a pop-up appears, warning of an inactive script. The script is usually called: https://x13.x10hosting.com:222...1deede02948980483d6e0f6bbab63f:19 Sometimes, it ends with the numbers :1 or :165...

    Inactivity Times

    Here's a dumb tip - don't rely on your calendar for log-in reminders! Some months (such as December & January) have 31 days, 1 day short of the mandatory 30-day log-in requirement. I have recently been logging in according to calendar dates, so by February I was 2 days behind. Two warning emails...

    SSL query

    Thanks, lylex10h! So it's done. Thankfully the pestering seems to have died down, but I sent them a 'cease & desist' note just in case. (I'm ignoring GoDaddy's 'final notice' about redesigning my web site. Who do these people think they are anyway?)

    SSL query

    An update... after quite a few alarm emails, I've located the following thread on cPanel forums: https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/ssl-notifications-in-cpanel-68.614395/ Apparently it's a current problem to many cPanel end-users, which may effect others here. It seems outside my power to fix...
