wget https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh

Hint: Use “fetch” instead of “wget” on FreeBSD systems.

Change permissions on the setup.sh file

 chmod 755 setup.sh 

Run the script

 ./setup.sh auto 

The auto method will be best for most people. It automatically installs everything for you, including the CSF firewall.

It can also be called as ‘./setup.sh’ without options, which requires input but allows for customization.

Important: The hostname should not be the same as the primary domain name. e.g. merahost.org is not a good hostname, where server.merahost.org is. Having the same host/main domain name will cause e-mail and FTP problems. Also, please make sure the hostname resolves once you setup DNS.

Accessing the Control Panel

DirectAdmin can be accessed at http://server.ip.address:2222 — use the Admin username/password specified in the setup.txt file in your scripts directory.

Dedicated servers – These servers are physical in nature and provide the entire server for your own websites. These servers are more secure than any other server and perform efficiently. It provides you technical experts and full control available round-the-clock to supervise the server for any issues.

1) Availability

Cloud server clinches zero downtime and the maximum network uptime for your own websites and applications. It never goes down in case of any issue, numerous junctions takes over the call of duty of the failed junction automatically.

In dedicated servers, there is a risk of downtime and failure of physical hardware as they do not have numerous junctions to share the load.

2) Safety and security

You must have faith in your provider for the services and for taking enough measures of security in cloud servers. Service providers of cloud server hosting assure data safety by devoted IT support, secure and inscribe solutions and facilitate backup recoveries.

But in a dedicated server, one should take essentials measures by himself from supervising server resources to upgrade your dedicated server to secure it from spammers and its sensitive and confidential database of business.

3)  Scalability of resources

Cloud servers have measurable RAM, CPU, storage capacity and powerful technical resources to encourage your website performance. Increment and decrement of resources, computing cores, RAM and storage as per load of the work are very simple in a cloud server.

In a dedicated server, a specification is not flexible and scaling of resources is a bit difficult and time-consuming process.

4)Level of control

In cloud server services provided by the host are limited as one does not have complete control.

However, In dedicated server it provides complete control over the server, one can install applications, programs and enhancement of performance measures to the machine.

5) Cost-efficiency

In cloud server, bandwidth, storage capacity, offered are a little bit costly, but they are relatively inexpensive with the plentiful dedicated server. In the cloud server, you pay only for the computing resources that you actually use.

But in dedicated servers, you must pay a consistent amount notwithstanding of how much resources you actually use.

The post March Super Sale ! Hosting @ $1 , Domain @ $2 and much more appeared first on MeraHost.

The days of paying for SSL Security Certificates are coming to an end.  From today we’ll be rolling out free Domain Validated Comodo SSL Certificates across our shared web hosting platforms .  Domain Validated SSLs from this point on will be free for all clients.  The only reason you should pay for an SSL product is if you need additional support in implementing the SSL or if you need a specialist SSL such as an EV SSL or a Wildcard SSL.  It’s exciting times in the hosting industry and we’re pleased to be playing even a small part to make the internet a more secure and encrypted place.

— Ranjan Chatterjee , MeraHost

cPanel AutoSSL is a new feature that will auto provision and install a FREE Comodo Domain Validated SSL Security Certificate for every domain that is hosted on and points to the server.  It’s an exciting development and it’s to be welcomed.

We’ll be shorting activating AutoSSL on all our Shared and Reseller servers and the certificates will soon start rolling out and being installed on all domains.

AutoSSL is the solution to one of the biggest pain points that exists for every cPanel & WHM user: SSL installation and renewal. With AutoSSL there are no more forms to fill out, and no more certificates to manually copy into place. Once you enable AutoSSL your websites are automatically secured with a Domain Validated SSL certificate. Perhaps more exciting is the fact that your coverage will never lapse, because at expiration time a new SSL is requested and automatically installed.

Now all domains names, sub-domains, add-on domains hosted on MeraHost servers have SSL certificate installed by default. SSL is 100% valid (no browser warning) and the most imporant it’s absolutely free!

If you have a site hosted with us you can test your SSL by going to HTTPS://example.com where “example.com” is your doman name.

SSL Renewal Process

Free SSLs are issued for 90 days. After 90 days period certificates are renewed automatically. No action is required from your side.

SSL Installation Process

Certificates are installed automatically for all domains, sub-domains, add-on domains in your account.

What support will MeraHost provide with Free SSL Certificates vs Paid SSLs ?

We sell SSL certificates starting at $8 for 12 months.  We are continuing to sell these certificates as they come with full support.  Sometimes clients may need help in setting up their website to work with an SSL Certificate.  When you buy an SSL from us we will do all we can to help you troubleshoot problems such as why there is no padlock or how to set your website to automatically load https:// when someone visits the page.  Where you use the free AutoSSL certificate our support will be limited to confirming that the certificate is installed correctly for you.  We are enabling the AutoSSL feature on the understanding that we will not provide any support for them aside from confirming they are installed.   If you are going to need help troubleshooting why there is no padlock or enabling all pages to be https:// by default etc we will ask you to purchase our SSL product so we can provide that support to you.  Our sales team will be happy to advise on cost.

If you are looking for a quick guide with simple but yet effective SEO tips then you are on the right page, read on!

1. Optimize your titles, URL and descriptions

This is probably the oldest tip in the SEO industry but it is still the most important. Add a meaningful title and related description for your page.

2. Provide useful and fresh content

One of the reasons you have a website or blog is to provide content to build an audience, keep your existing readers happy or gain new customers. By content we mean anything from articles, videos, infographics, slideshows, music, comments, reviews or anything else that is suited for your niche.

If your content is static, old or out of date then most probably your visitors will go away quickly and never come back. What is your first reaction when you visit a website that has out-of-date content? It’s exactly the same as the users visiting your website.

A couple of years ago we used to say to our clients that updating was not a very important SEO factor but this has changed due to the competition. There is big competition in every keyword you search and those websites that have the most useful and fresh content have more chances of winning the race.

3. Improve your website’s loading time

If this is the first time you are reading that page speed is important for SEO then soon after reading this post you should do whatever is needed to improve the loading time of your website. If you have read about this before and have not yet done anything about it, you are doing a big mistake.

Because this is important I will keep it simple:

Page speed is a ranking factor – if you have two similar websites and the one is faster than the other, you can expect that it will also rank higher (provided that other things are equal).

Faster websites generate more conversions – This means more sales, more RSS subscribers and more clicks on your ads (if you are using Adsense for example).

More page views – When a website loads fast users are likely to visit more than one page before they leave.

How can you improve the speed of your website? I know that it is not an easy task especially if you are not a technical person but it is important to handle page speed without further delays.

When working on clients websites page speed is among the first things we handle and the results in terms of conversions are sometimes immediate.

If you cannot afford to hire an SEO or a developer to make your web site load faster, what you can do is the following:

• Remove big images
• Remove unnecessary JavaScript files
• Use sprites instead of small images to minimize http redirects
• Move to a faster Web hosting provider
• Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service
• Use these resources from Google for more tips and tools

4. Implement Google updates

When Google introduces a new feature that is related to their search results, you have to follow their path without delay. The good news is that Google rich snippets is a feature very useful to the searches as well because:

• Structured data markup describes things on the web, along with their properties. For example, if your site has recipes, you could use markup to describe properties for each recipe, such as the summary, the URL to a photo for the dish, and its overall rating from users.

When you provide structured data markup for your online content, you make that content eligible to appear in two categories of Google Search features:

• Rich results—Structured data for things like recipes, articles, and videos can appear in Rich Cards, as either a single element or a list of items. Other kinds of structured data can enhance the appearance of your site in Search, such as with Breadcrumbs, or a Sitelinks Search Box.
• Knowledge Graph cards—If you’re the authority for certain content, Google can treat the structured data on your site as factual and import it into the Knowledge Graph, where it can power prominent answers in Search and across Google properties. Knowledge Graph cards appear for authoritative data about organizations, and events. Movie reviews, and movie/music play actions, while based on ranking, can also appear in Knowledge Graph cards once they are reconciled to Knowledge Graph entities.

5. Register your website with Google and Bing webmaster tools

Some people believe that by not registering your website with Google you can ‘hide’ things from them and slip under their radar and reach the top of the search results. This is not a ‘hide and seek’ game, good long term rankings can only be achieved if you follow valid methods and techniques. For the record: Google already knows everything they need to know about your website with or without submitting it to webmaster tools.

Once you go through the registration process and perform some basic configurations you will get notified if there is a problem with your website and also start looking at some interesting facts about your website like:

• Number of index pages
• Number of incoming links
• Search queries
• Crawl errors
• Number of internal links

Conclusion

The above 5 tips are simple but at the same time they are also very important.  If you are running a blog, ecommerce store or content driven website and you are not getting traffic from search engines, then you need to ensure that you have implemented the above 5 tips correctly.
