| Who is The Host Manager for? |
| The Host Manager is for new web hosting businesses and for existing businesses who wish to upgrade the level of service to their clients. |
|
| |
| What does The Host Manager do? |
| The Host Manager completely automates the billing process for your customers, automatically configures their hosting, and enables them to add features such as extra databases and email accounts at any time. Everything is done automatically, with no work required by you. It is an affordable yet customizable and scaleable complete hosting automation system. |
|
| |
| Can I change the default directory name 'hosting' to something else? |
| After installation you are able to name the directory whatever you would like. You can also transfer all the files to your main web directory. Remember to update the site location in Settings of the admin. |
|
| |
| I receive an error mentioning ionCube, can you explain this? |
| Many of our files are optimized and encrypted for security reasons. ionCube is required to decrypt the software and run it. See the documentation for further instructions on installation. Feel free to contact support if you have any specific questions about this. |
|
| |
| What is the difference between disk space and hard disk quota? |
| Disk space is not a hard cap, and will allow users to go over. You will be notified by Plesk that the domain has gone over, however this does not stop the uploading of files. Hard disk quota enforces the set amount, and will not allow the domain disk space to exceed this amount. |
|
| |
| How can I allow clients to edit what is in their database? |
| Clients can edit their databases with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) using the free software phpMyAdmin. This can be downloaded to a subdirectory such as 'dbmanage' on your server. |
|
| |
| I get a message saying Backup disabled. Why? |
| For security reasons, backup is disabled by default. If you would like to enable it change the variable $enablebackup to 1 in the text.php file (located in the admin folder). |
|
| |
| Can I show the status of domains on the main page? |
| Yes. Just set the variable $statusenabled to 1 in text.php (located in the admin folder). Please note however that this will likely slow down the account page load time by a few seconds. |
|
| |
| Can I show image links instead of text links? |
| Yes. You will need to edit text.php (located in the admin folder) and change the variables containing text to an image link. For example change "Account Home" to "<img src="images/accounthome.gif" border="0">". You will of course have to place the image in the images directory. |
|
| |
| Does The Host Manager support other currencies? |
| Yes. If you choose not to use one of the natively supported currencies you can manually modify text.php to add any currency. Add $currs1 = "ABC"; $currs = "$"; to the bottom of text.php (but above '?>'), where ABC is the three digit ISO currency code, and $ is currency symbol. |
|
| |
| Can I edit the look of The Host Manager? |
| Yes. There are multiple ways to change the look of The Host Manager. You can edit the text.php, header.php, and footer.php, include other headers and footers in header.php and footer.php, or edit style.css. You are also able to edit index.php (the login/signup page). |
|
| |
| Can I edit the text used in The Host Manager? Can I change the language? |
| Yes. You will need to edit text.php to do this. Each section in this file is clearly marked with its purpose, enabling you to locate what you would like to change. You can also use the Search/Find function in your editor to locate the text you are looking to change. You can change the text into any language you would like. Make sure you save and upload the file after changes. Note: Any single apostrophes (') in the text must have a backslash directly before them (\). |
|
| |
| How can I have different layouts on different pages? |
You can use PHP to accomplish this. Try:
if (strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],"filename.php"))
{
// header/footer here
}
elseif (strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],"filename2.php"))
{
// alternate header/footer here
} |
