Question 2

Setup web hosting (DNS and nameservers)

Accepted Answer

If you have recently bought our web hosting, and are looking to use your domain with this service, you have two options for using our services.

| DNS and nameserver changes can take a few hours, a day, or even longer. So sometimes flushing DNS, clearing cache, or viewing your site from an incognito tab can give you better results if you’re very eager to see the new site.

Method 1: Managed by RabbitNode

Q: Security Essentials: Hide directory listings

|| First of all, if you don’t have a <code>.htaccess</code> file, take a look <a href="https://help.rabbitnode.com/en/article/how-to-hide-directory-listings-16ftby5/">at this article</a> to create one. You’ll need it for this tutorial. If you don’t have an index file in every directory for your server, the contents of the directories are open for viewing. This can be a serious security issue. To remedy this, do the following: <ol> <li>Log in to your cPanel.</li> <li>Then “File Manager” &amp; choose the directory that the .htaccess file is in by clicking on the file icon</li> <li>Click “Edit File” in the middle of the menu bar</li> <li>Then just type the following into your <code>.htaccess</code> file in the public html directory:</li> </ol> <pre><code>Options -Indexes </code></pre> That’s it! | There may be more settings you want to change with <code>htaccess</code> &amp; Apache to improve security. ||| If you seek maximum performance and are an advanced user, edit the php.ini file and avoid <code>htaccess</code>.

||| If you use CloudFlare, or another tool to manage your domain and DNS, use method 2.

You will need to change your nameservers. You manage the nameservers from where you bought your domain.
Now you will need to change your nameservers.

NS1: "ns1.rabbitnode.net"
NS2: "ns2.rabbitnode.net"

Save your new nameservers. Wait for up to 72 hours for your domain to fully update globally.

Method 2: Alternate solution

You will need to change your DNS settings. Usually, you manage DNS settings from where you bought your domain.
Create an A record with the appropriate record name (@ for root or another string for subdomains) and use this host value: 158.69.151.76.
Save your changes. Wait for up to 72 hours for your records to update globally.

Question 4

File access with FTP & SFTP

Accepted Answer

While you can use the built-in file explorer on mc.rbno.co to make quick changes, a more permanent tool may be more suitable for long-term use.

With CyberDuck (recommended)

CyberDuck is a free application for connecting to remote servers. We think it’s much easier to use compared to FileZilla and also has some neat features that are useful for managing remote hosts.

For this tutorial, we’ll assume you have the app set up. You can either click “Open Connection” to connect to the server without saving the login details or create a more permanent record of your server by going to “Bookmark”, then “New Bookmark” (Ctrl+Shift+B also works).

| We recommend using the bookmark function for your server if you know you’re going to connect to it often.

Select “SFTP” (recommended). “FTP-S” may also be suitable.

||| We advise against selecting “FTP” because of security concerns. Someone could theoretically spy on your connection and even manipulate sent data to the server without a secure link. So beware.

The most important thing is entering your server, port, username, and password. This information should be available to you from your server panel.
Save your changes. Everything should be working now.

With FileZilla

Select the server you want to access from your panel on the web.
Proceed to click on “FTP File Access”.
Launch FileZilla. The top bar is where you are going to want to input all of your information.
Enter yo

Question 5

Security Essentials: Hide directory listings

Accepted Answer

|| First of all, if you don’t have a .htaccess file, take a look at this article to create one. You’ll need it for this tutorial.

If you don’t have an index file in every directory for your server, the contents of the directories are open for viewing. This can be a serious security issue. To remedy this, do the following:

Log in to your cPanel.
Then “File Manager” & choose the directory that the .htaccess file is in by clicking on the file icon
Click “Edit File” in the middle of the menu bar
Then just type the following into your .htaccess file in the public html directory:

Options -Indexes

That’s it!

| There may be more settings you want to change with htaccess & Apache to improve security.

||| If you seek maximum performance and are an advanced user, edit the php.ini file and avoid htaccess.

Question 6

What does “unlimited” really mean?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, “unlimited” storage, bandwidth, or other offering isn’t really unlimited for 2 very good reasons:

It’s impossible to truly make something unlimited. To prevent abuse, we set soft limits for all our customers.
Most of our customers never hit these limits. For some services, we simply do not monitor the usage of bandwidth or other metrics, barring the case of abuse.

This is also covered in our Terms and Conditions.

||| If you want to lift your soft limit, contact us. We’d be more than glad to help you!
