| Your rules are so strict. Can't you make an exception for my site? | No, I will not make exceptions for any site and neither am I corruptible by offering me money. Once I start making an exception for your site, I would have to for every other site as well which is the same as if the rules didn't exist. |
| I have an .htaccess file, but it doesn't work. How can I fix it? | .htaccess files are meant for Apache2 webservers. My server is based on NginX, which is much faster due to using static configuration files and not reading files like .htaccess at runtime. You can contact me and tell me your sites address where the .htaccess file is. I will then check your .htaccess and convert the rules to NginX rules and apply those. |
| I just uploaded my page, but it's broken. HELP! | Most likely your site makes use of rewriting rules, which are typically located in an .htaccess file or are mentioned in a README file. Just contact me in this case. Also see the previous question. |
| Can I host a porn site? | Yes as long as your content is legal you may upload adult content. |
| What is the directory structure for when I connect via sftp? | There are several directories you on the server for your account: data - You can store application data here that should not be accessible via your site. E.g. configuration or database files. tmp - anything saved here will automatically be deleted after about 24 hours www - the home directory of your account, where the FileManager opens and where the Composer page installs packages. Every domain and subdomain has its own directory inside it, www/domains/ followed by the name of the domain - a website is uploaded into the directory that carries its domain name and that is what is served under the domain. The dashboard links the directory of every domain. logs - you will find webserver logs here .ssh - by uploading your ssh public key as authorized_keys in this folder, you can authenticate to sftp using your ssh key, without a password |
| My application is very ressource intensive, or I want to host a different service. Can you get me a VPS? | Yes, if you have special requirements, want a dedicated VPS for your application without having to deal with server setup etc. I can offer you a managed VPS hosting. However, this will not be for free. It depends on which server you want me to get. For details, contact me320 |
| How do I get my own domain to point to this server? | You can use any subdomain of 57.131.131.117.nip.io for free, or add your own domain in your dashboard. Point your DNS settings to the IPs given in your dashboard and click "Generate SSL" next to the domain - a free certificate from Let's Encrypt is then issued automatically within a few minutes. Subdomains of 57.131.131.117.nip.io get theirs without asking. If the issuance keeps failing or this server has no acme.sh, contact me. You can also let this server be the nameserver of your domain: point its NS records at ns1.hosting.57.131.131.117.nip.io and add the records you need on the DNS page of the domain. |
| I'm using CloudFlare, but when I open my site, it shows too many redirects. | By default CloudFlare makes unencrypted requests to the backend server, but my server tells any client that wants an insecure connection to upgrade to a secure connection and use https:// instead of http://. CloudFlare just forwards this redirection to the client, which then again asks CloudFlare for the same thing again, but CloudFlare still connects to my server via an insecure http:// connection. To fix this, go to your CloudFlare dashboard and manage your domains settings. Under "Crypto" you can find settings for SSL. Change the setting from Flexible to Full, which makes CloudFlare use a secure https:// connection when talking to my server. |
