cPanel: Password Protect Directories, protect your Intellectual Property!

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

What is a password-protect-directory?

In layman’s terms, it’s simply to restrict access to it with username and password.

Why is this important?
For adsense publishers, this may not be that important,
but for affiliate marketers who gives products and for product owners,
you should REALLY know this like the back of your end!

Just imagine that you’ve spend months after months coming up with product bonuses or your own sellable product and you’ve set up the site and other management softwares to sell this product. Now imagine because you didn’t protect your directories, some one comes along and just happen to chance upon your download directory and that person now have full access to this download directory.

All these can be prevented by simply using the password directory.
If you go to your cPanel and click on “Password Protect Directories”, you’ll be able to see a list of all the folders in your hosting account.
All you need to do is to click on your desired directory and key in the password when prompted to. :)

See it’s so simple and easy to implement!
By taking a few simple steps, your product downloads are more insured.

Of cos, I understand that the product buyer may pass your password around, but at least we covered the holes that we can cover. :)

More of such series coming up! Stay tuned.
Sorry for not being able to blog that often.
Rather busy recently lar… hahahaha… :P

Take care & stay healthy!

cPanel: Your best friend ever

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

After being exposed to cPanel ever since I started Internet Marketing, I’ve been intrigued by its functionality.
You must understand from my background as a technical person in Internet Marketing. I used tend to manage servers for my previous employers.

Back in those days, I used text command prompt to send every single code to the server. From accessing different file directories to managing addon domains.

Now, just by using cPanel Addon domain feature, you can easily create that without typing a single line of code!
How cool can that be? :)

Just by following these simple steps, you can easily add on a new domain.

1) Purchase a domain name (via namesecure/ godaddy, etc.)
2) Change DNS at registra (i.e. namesecure…)
3) Login to cPanel
4) Click on Addon Domain
5) Input the domain name (i.e. MyNewDomain.com, NOT www.MyNewDomain.com)
6) Click OKAY!

Voila, you’ve already added a new domain to your cPanel.
Whoopee!

Sorry for not posting more recently, I’ve been caught up alot with the technical foundation training and the other operations in running Internet Marketing Academy with Stuart.

I’ll free myself with more time to drive more value to my readers!
After all, I’m the number one “Internet Marketing Technical Coach” !!!
heehhehe…

More later! :)

Lots of love,
