DNS

What record types are supported in DNS management?

The “DNS Records Management” menu supports the following record types: A, MX, CNAME, TXT.

Domain

Activating/renewing a PP.UA domain via Telegram (if you did not receive the SMS code)

If you did not receive the activation/renewal SMS code for a domain in the pp.ua zone, you can activate the domain an alternative way.

To do this, you need to have the Telegram messenger installed on your phone. Or use the WEB version at https://web.telegram.org

For authorization, use the phone number specified in the
domain owner’s data at registration.

You can get the code in Telegram using the @ppuabot bot. To do this, follow the link — https://t.me/ppuabot — or find it using search. Then click the “Start” button or send the /start command.

Note that the Telegram account must be registered to the phone number specified in the registrant’s (owner’s) data.

Активация pp.ua

Next, select the “Activate domain” function.

Активация pp.ua

Then review the .PP.UA domain policy and the agreement on providing contact data. Then click the “Yes” button.

Активация pp.ua

You will then receive a code and a link from the bot to the form for activating the domain name.

Активация pp.ua

Please note: requests to the .PP.UA registry are only valid for five days. If activation is not completed within 5 days, the request will be rejected and the desired changes will not take place (domain registration/renewal/owner change or data edit).

After these steps, the domain will be activated automatically.

How can I make changes to my domain’s registration records?

If you need to make changes to your domain’s registration records or change the Name Servers, you can do this yourself in your billing system account.

I already have a domain. Can I use your hosting without transferring it?
Yes, of course you can use our hosting.
To do this, you need to place an order for our hosting and change the NS records to ours.
You’ll receive the specific NS records right after ordering hosting.
I moved my domain to your server and it became unavailable. Why?

After you’ve set your domain’s new NS records, some time is needed for DNS zones to update at your provider (from 4 to 72 hours). During this time, domain information will be updated on other servers across the network.

If your old provider closed your hosting account and the domain hasn’t fully delegated yet, it may be temporarily invisible in some zones.

Not necessarily for everyone — variations are possible even within the same city!

Should I specify my existing email during registration, or one I will receive later?
In the registration form, you need to specify an already existing mailbox — if you lose your password, the information is sent only to the address specified at registration.
You can change it later in the management interface.
VERIFICATION-HOLD.SUSPENDED-DOMAIN.COM instead of my DNS. What is this?

If, in the whois of a domain in an international zone, you see these DNS servers instead of yours:

Name Server: NS1.VERIFICATION-HOLD.SUSPENDED-DOMAIN.COM Name Server: NS2.VERIFICATION-HOLD.SUSPENDED-DOMAIN.COM

you need to verify ownership of the domain via your contact email (a verification link was sent to it)

More details:

Please note that when registering a domain name in an international zone, as well as when receiving administration rights from another person or changing contact details, you must verify the legitimacy and accuracy of the email address specified in the registration data. You were sent a notification with a link to verify your email address.

If the link is not followed within 14 days of the first notification being sent, the domain name will be SUSPENDED.

The domain can only be unsuspended after the registrant re-verifies their email address.

The notification is sent 3 times over 14 days. Verification is MANDATORY for all domain names in international zones.

Hosting

Broken encoding in Joomla 1.5
Joomla CMS version 1.5 is outdated and incompatible with some of our server settings. To correctly display Cyrillic characters, you need to make the following changes to the CMS code:

Depending on the DB driver used (mysql or mysqli), you need to find the following lines in the file /libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php
or /libraries/joomla/database/database/mysqli.php

return ($verParts[0] == 5 || ($verParts[0] == 4 && $verParts[1] == 1 && (int)$verParts[2] >= 2));

and replace them with:

//return ($verParts[0] == 5 || ($verParts[0] == 4 && $verParts[1] == 1 && (int)$verParts[2] >= 2));
return (1);

After the changes, the function should look like this:

function hasUTF()
{
$verParts = explode( '.', $this->getVersion() );
//return ($verParts[0] == 5 || ($verParts[0] == 4 && $verParts[1] == 1 && (int)$verParts[2] >= 2));
return (1);
}

Save the changes. We recommend updating the CMS to the latest version.

Can I change my plan later?

Yes, you can change your plan at any time. This service is free. You only pay for the cost of the plan itself!

Can I host Cyrillic domains with you?

Yes, our servers support Cyrillic domains.

Could you explain the difference between: parked domains, addon domains, and subdomains?
Parked domain — points to the same site as the main domain.
Addon domain — leads to a separate directory of the site, making it a standalone site from the perspective of search engines and visitors.
Subdomain — a domain of the form: name.Your_Domain.ua.
Errors after migrating a WordPress site

Let’s look at common errors that occur after migrating a WordPress site.

1. Error establishing a database connection.
Incorrect database connection details specified in the wp-config.php file.

The database specified in wp-config.php is empty or has no WP installation records.

3. A welcome page opens.
Delete the index.html file in your site’s root directory.

4. Forbidden. You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
The site’s root directory is empty or doesn’t exist.

5. The site’s pages don’t open, while the homepage opens without errors.
Most likely, the .htaccess file with pretty-URL rules is missing.

How to enable gzip compression and speed up the site?

GZIP compression is a technology that compresses text files when they’re transferred between the server and your browser. Every file has a certain size, and the smaller it is, the faster the server can send it to your computer. All modern browsers support this technology, so enabling this option can significantly speed up page loading in your browser.

To enable compression in the ISPmanager panel, go to the WWW Domains section. Select the domain you need and click the Edit button

Then find WWW Domain Optimization and check the box next to

Specify the compression level (available values from 1 to 9)

After configuring, click the OK button

 

To see how much your site’s data was compressed, you can visit a special service

How to run PHP scripts on a schedule (CRON)

You can run PHP scripts at a specified time with the frequency you want.

Examples of running your scripts:

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -q http://your_domain/file_name.php
or
/usr/bin/lynx -dump http://your_domain/file_name.php > /dev/null
another way
/usr/bin/curl –silent http://www.your_domain/file_name.php > /dev/null

If the script uses require or include functions with relative paths specified, use a call to the chdir() function at the start of the script to set the current working directory.
Then you can run the script like this:
/usr/bin/php -q $HOME/script.php > /dev/null 2>&1
$HOME — needs to be replaced with /var/www/username/path_to_script/script.php

I placed an order and paid for the account. How long until the hosting is ready?

Work on creating your account will begin immediately after payment is received.

I placed an order but didn’t receive a notification about my account being opened. What should I do?
There can be two reasons. First — if your order was filled out incorrectly and was not accepted for processing by the administrator. Second — there may have been a delivery problem to your mailbox. Such problems usually occur with free email services:
1) yandex.ru;
2) gmail.com and others.
If you haven’t received your access details within 30 minutes, we recommend specifying a different email address in the billing system.
Search bots are putting a heavy load on my site. What should I do?

Search engines can create a heavy load.
To solve the problem, add a Crawl-delay directive to robots.txt.
The Crawl-delay directive tells the search bot to load your site’s pages with an interval of at least 15 seconds, in other words, to pause while indexing the site’s pages.

Example
In your site’s root, create a robots.txt file and add:
User-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 15
