    I hit the limit and get throttled back even when I am editing my WordPress pages!

    I've located your hosting account and looking at your running processes right now you're not being limited due to editing your pages, but instead due to traffic towards your site. Looking at your access logs and the individual IPs accessing there are a lot of GET requests scraping content from your site, which in turn is causing you to hit your PHP process limit, and that is using all your available CPU. I've blocked a few of the offending IPs and your PHP process and CPU usage is down to zero.

    Although they advertise unlimited space and unlimited domains etc, it is effectively reduced to a few because the resources cannot handle it.

    This ultimately depends on how optimized your sites/software are or the types of sites you're hosting from the account. We have customers hosting thousands of basic static HTML sites serving millions of requests per month from a single hosting service without issues, and conversely have others with a single high resource WordPress site that uses all available resources 24/7. Our systems are agnostic to the type of sites or services you run from the account, the volume of sites you can host from the account comes down to the resources required from each of your sites.

    As a minimum there should be 2 CPUs and 30Mb/sec which they have for the expensive semi-dedicated servers.

    If you're interested in upgrading your plan to allocate more resources please reach out to our team through https://my.hawkhost.com/submitticket.php and we can guide you through the upgrade process depending on the type of plan you'd like to move to.

    My household switched Internet providers before I'd completed updating and I didn't update with the Support portal.  Now that my site has unexpectedly become unavailable I can't initiate a support ticket.  Have been working with the Billing Department to straighten things out since billing has gone smoothly. I've sent them the information they asked for but it's been over 8 hours since they last communicated with me.  Can you help me?  I'm concerned about what is going on with my site.  Hoping its a Wordpress plugin problem, but have no idea....

    Thanks.

    Can you please DM me your account's registered email address or your open ticket ID so I can follow up on this for you?

  3. Hi! Without context of the ticket it's difficult to provide a specific answer, but generally if our team is asking for payment history & your support PIN while also escalating the ticket the nature of your request requires management level review. This is a standard procedure and while it may delay handling of your request it ensures your account remains safe and the work you're asking us to do is authorized by the rightful account holder.

    Our escalated queue looks clear at this time, but if this is not resolved or you have further issues please DM me your ticket ID or ask for the existing ticket in our helpdesk to be assigned to my (Brian F.) queue and I'll help you out personally. Thanks!

    Is there a procedure for setting up an external email sending app using python from my desktop, and is there a code sample available?

    So long as your script (regardless of language) is using the correct credentials (hostname, email user, email password) to connect to our mail server there are no other special requirements from our side for you to utilize a third party app or program to send email through our servers. Unfortunately we do not have any code samples available for this.

    If you continue to experience this issue I'd suggest opening a ticket through https://my.hawkhost.com/submitticket.php so our helpdesk team is able to pull up all your account details, view the script directly, and help debug any remaining issues.

  5. Hello! Can you please DM me your ticket ID that you've opened with our helpdesk? I'd like to take a look at your account specifically to see what options may be available to complete this migration, and with your ticket ID I can follow up with you personally through the helpdesk. What our team has said is correct in that we do only provide full transfers when moving between cPanel based hosts, but if your site is WordPress powered there are other migrations options available (though they do require a bit more manual work than a cPanel based transfer). Thanks!

    I have a same issue

    Ticket ID: DOY-136-83068

    Please give me some help. Tks

    Thanks for signing up with us! It looks like this ticket ID has been resolved but as always please just let us know if you have any other questions!

  7. The price for DirectAdmin on a cloud compute would be $6.00/mo and the price for a cPanel/WHM license varies depending on the number of cPanel accounts you wish to host on your compute: https://support.hawkhost.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/cpanel-license-pricing-structure-for-cloud-computes

    It is possible to upgrade/downgrade cPanel licenses during your billing cycle so if your cPanel account needs change the license can be modified accordingly, you're not locked into the license you choose to start with the compute.

    As a cloud compute is your own private environment with full root access you can also use any other Linux based control panel of your choosing, DirectAdmin and cPanel/WHM are just the two panels we officially support.

  8. Hello! Most often this is due to your site including some insecure content (pulling in resources over http and not https) so while you have a valid SSL certificate installed the browser doesn't see the site as fully secure. If you use a tool like https://www.whynopadlock.com/ it will identify the exact element(s) in your sites code that need to be updated to use https which should fix the issue!

    If the problem persists you can always email [email protected] or open a ticket at https://my.hawkhost.com/submitticket.php and our team can assist further :)

    Hi,

    What is the different between Shared Hosting & Cloud Hosting? If I want the web to be accessible quite fast from other side of the world, do I have to use a service something like CloudFlare?

    Do you support django?

    Hello and welcome to the forums! Our shared hosting (https://www.hawkhost.com/shared-web-hosting) is when you get access to a cPanel (our web based hosting control panel) account and it allows you to easily upload your custom site or use our 1 click installer to use WordPress, Magento, Joomla or other common software suites. The server is fully managed by our team and all you're responsible for is your own sites/emails/scripts/software. Our cloud compute plans (https://www.hawkhost.com/cloud-compute) would be your own private server environment and you'd be responsible for the management/configuration of the entire server. We recommend shared hosting for most users but you can always upgrade to a compute in the future if your needs change!

    Cloudflare or any other CDN can definitely help reduce latency and improve performance for visitors who are physically further away from where your site is hosted with us (you can choose your hosting location during signup). Cloudflare and other CDNs will offer you the ability to cache your static content (images, text, etc.) so it's served from the Cloudflare servers which are closer to your visitors instead of waiting for all the content to come directly from your account with us.

    Django is supported on all of our hosting plans.

    If you have any follow up questions let us know or feel free to email [email protected] directly for any other questions you have about our services. Thank you!

    Is it possible to use visual studio code with FileZilla?

    Any FTP program you use will just upload or  download the files, so your choice of local editor (in this case Visual Studio) would not have any impact on that functionality. Web based language files/scripts (HTML, PHP, etc.) you develop locally in Visual Studio will run fine on our servers.

    I am an existing customer
    wish to buy new domain
    Will I go through same activation pain?

    Sorry for the (very!) delayed reply to this, I managed to overlook this thread! Both new and existing customers undergo the same fraud checks for all orders. When placing your new order there is an option to add order notes on the final step of the checkout. If you are worried about the fraud check I would recommend adding notes in that section about this so if your new order is flagged our team can review your ticket history first to see the previous fraud check discussions. Thank you!

  13. The directory index listing is showing when visiting your site https://srtcmembers-beta.com/ as there is no index.* (php, html, htm, etc.) file in the public_html directory of your account. Based on your screenshot you've created a "HawkHost" directory where you've uploaded your files however that directory is not publicly accessible through https://srtcmembers-beta.com/ as it's outside the public_html directory. To solve this you would need to either re-upload the same files to your public_html directory or move the files (can be done through FTP or cPanels File Manager) from the current directory to public_html.

    At this point I would recommend using our helpdesk for support as you will receive faster and more detailed replies. It also is not recommended to continue using public forums while posting screenshots of potentially private information / account directories. Contacting our helpdesk can be done by emailing [email protected] or opening a ticket through https://my.hawkhost.com/submitticket.php

  14. You can upload files to your account using FTP (https://support.hawkhost.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/how-do-i-upload-my-files-with-ftp) or by using the File Manager interface in cPanel. We recommend using FTP though as it handles larger uploads better compared to the web based uploader through cPanel.

    You can also use Softaculous in cPanel to complete a WordPress installation (https://support.hawkhost.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/wordpress-one-click-softaculous-cpanel) so you would not need to do a local install then upload to the server. Of course that's perfectly fine if you prefer to develop/sandbox locally.

    Also it's worth noting while we do monitor our forums for support you will receive faster and more details replies by emailing [email protected] or opening a ticket through https://my.hawkhost.com/submitticket.php -- thank you :)

    How do I create a phpMyAdmin database inside the hosting panel and upload my website files from the Wordpress download?

    Databases can be created through cPanel using the MySQL Databases interface. Once the database is added through that cPanel interface it will automatically be added to phpMyAdmin for further administration of the database.

    I found the server name, and I changed that on Hawkhost, but it looks like I need to put in more information that I don't understand at Cloudflare to make this work. I logged in there and got this window. Can you tell me what I should put in these fields? I can't add the screenshot. I keep getting an error message (200)
    It asks for Use@for root   -  Mailserver   - TTL - Priority (which I know is 0)

     

    When adding the MX Record in Cloudflare the fields you need to fill out can be completed as such:

    Name: mail (mail.yourdomain.com)
    Mailserver: The Hawk Host server name from your client area (XYZ.hawkhost.com)
    TTL: 3600
    Priority: 0

    Also while we do keep these public forums available support, our helpdesk (https://my.hawkhost.com/submitticket.php) is staffed 24/7 and will be able to provide you much faster (and account specific) replies. If you haven't already it may be worth opening a ticket at this point for any further questions :)

    I recently added Cloudflare and changed the Nameservers as instructed by Cloudflare. But my email stopped coming to my home computer. I was told to add a MX record so that the emails will be pointed to Hawkhost. But I can't find where I'm supposed to do this! (I don't work on the backend of my sites-so I don't understand much of this). 
    If someone can just give me the place to find where I add this information I will be forever thankful to you! (breadcrumbs might be helpful).


     

    If you're using Cloudflare for your nameservers/DNS then you would edit the DNS records for your site(s) through your account with Cloudflare (https://dash.cloudflare.com/login). Once you've logged in the following KB article will be beneficial: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019093151-Managing-DNS-records-in-Cloudflare

    To point your email to us you will want to edit your site(s) MX Record. An MX Record is the DNS record that controls where your email is hosted. Through your Cloudflare account you'll want to find the MX DNS zone entry and you'll want to point the hostname for the MX record to the hostname of your server with us. To find your hosting accounts server hostname:

    1) Login to your client area with us (https://my.hawkhost.com/clientarea.php) and click "My Services"  (https://my.hawkhost.com/clientarea.php?action=products)
    2) From the "My Services" field click the green "Active" button to the right of your listed hosting account
    3) After clicking the green "Active" button you'll be taken to your hosting account details page. From there you will see a Server Name field, for example tor101.hawkhost.com. That is the hostname you would use for your MX Record through Cloudflare.

    If you run into issues with this, or are unsure about the proper hostname to use for your account, please email [email protected] or open a ticket through https://my.hawkhost.com/submitticket.php and our helpdesk team will be happy to provide the necessary information / help resolve any other issues you're having. Thank you!

  18. Hi! Inodes represent the total number of files hosted on your account. Each image, email, site page, cache file, etc. that is stored on your account consumes one inode, so for example if your cPanel was showing you using 400,000 inodes that means you're storing 400,000 total files on the account.

    There are no performance implications to using more inodes, so whether your account uses 100 or 500,000 inodes your sites will perform the same. You also are not at risk of suspension due to using all your available inodes. However you should keep in mind if you hit your 500,000 inode limit you will be unable to add new files to the account. This may cause interruptions to your services as you'd be unable to receive new emails, add new files to your site, users could no longer upload new files, etc.
