What is mail policy and email limits?
What is mail policy and email limits?

Mail Limits

There is an maximum amount of emails which can be send out per hour is 30 emails from one account or 300 emails per domain and 700 emails per day, this limit is also applied "Web Hosting Service", "Towards Mailing Lists" and "Online E-Store System". Focus Network Company reserves the violation of any of the foregoing may result in immediate deactivate or termination upon any indication of such activity without notice.

Many of our servers have a 60 pop checks per hour limit per email address.? If you go over this you're likely to get a wrong password error message saying login incorrect. Just wait an hour and it will automatically unlock you. to prevent this from happening again make sure to disable auto checking or at least set it to something higher such as 10 minutes.

Any mailing list larger than 2000 will require a dedicated server solution from us. Note: dividing one large list into smaller lists to get below this limit is not allowed.

We have a maximum size of emails of 50 MByte and under, any email over 50 MByte will be automatically rejected, please use your FTP to transfer big files!

Mailing Lists Rules
1. Anytime you're sending a message no matter how large your e-mail list is you must throttle it.? We recommend you throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every 6 seconds. If the mailing list software you're using does not allow you to throttle you must switch to something else. We recommend Mailman which can be found in your control panel under PLESK. If you do not throttle and you try sending let's say 1500 emails the server will try sending all 1500 in 1 second which is not possible. This will cause the server load to go very high and for the entire server to be sluggish until this process is completed. It is our job to keep the server up and running without being sluggish. Anyone who causes the servers load to go high will be suspended and the process will be terminated. If you choose not to throttle you will most likely be suspended for crashing the server without notice.
2. Any mailing list over 100 emails is only allowed to be sent to during off-peak times to prevent high server loads. Off peak times qualify as all day Saturday and Sunday, and 1am - 8 am eastern time M-F.
3. You are not allowed to mail to a mailing list you were given or purchased. This is spamming because they never agreed to you personally sending them mail. We do not care and how you justify it this is spam and will result in termination of the offending account.
4. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in termination of the offending account without notice. We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail.

In this tutorial we will learn how to set up Eudora 6 for PC as your email client.

What you will Need:
- A valid email account, if you haven't created an email account yet please log into your Control Panel and set up an email account.
- An email client. This tutorial uses Eudora, which is available for PC and MAC.
Eudora is an email package that is free to download from http://www.eudora.com Eudora has three modes -- Sponsored, Paid, and Light. Sponsored mode gives you the full-featured product, but displays ads on part of your screen. The ads are relatively unobtrusive. Paid mode gives you the same thing as Sponsored mode, without the advertisements, but you need to pay for and register it. Light mode is Eudora without the bells and whistles, but also without advertisements.

When you install Eudora it will be in Sponsored mode by default. You can change the mode by choosing 'Payment & Registration' from the help menu.

These instructions assume that you are using Eudora 6.x in Sponsored mode for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. The configuration might be slightly different for other versions of Eudora.

Protect your computer from Conficker virus
Protect your computer from Conficker virus

The Conficker virus infects computers through exploiting a vulnerability of Microsoft Windows. Variants of the virus can also spread through file sharing and via USB drives, such as removable drives.

The Conficker virus can disable some important security services on infected computer. It also attempts to prohibit user from accessing some security sites. As result, an infected computer may be unable to download certain security products. Most anti-virus software can detect and block the virus. If you have an updated anti-virus software with updated virus signature file on your computer, you are at a much lower risk of being infected by the Conficker virus.

Prevention

Perform following tasks to protect your computer from Conficker virus infection:
1. Install anti-virus software and keep the virus signature file up-to-date.
2. Install and enable a personal firewall.
3. Enable and properly configure real-time detection to scan your machine for computer viruses and malicious code.
4. Apply security patches from Microsoft Windows, in particular the security bulletin MS08-067 which was issued in October 2008.
5. Use strong passwords for user account and file shares.
6. Disable AutoRun feature for removable devices, if possible.
7. Schedule a daily full system scan to check for viruses or malicious codes.
Detection and Recovery

Your computer may be infected if it fails connecting to websites of security vendors or downloading security updates. You should:
1. Disconnect the infected computer from the network.
2. Use a non-infected computer to download a malware removal tool to clean up the machine.

Database Backup
Database Backup

對於“電子商務”系統的持續運作，均依賴可靠而穩定的“資料庫”記錄所有的資料，而每當頁面的取存、顧客的各種動作、以及管理員的日常維護，都會改動“資料庫”中相關的資料表。

由於“資料庫”的內容隨著各種的“讀”、“寫”、“比較”、“搜查”，都會不停地改變，所以備份的工作將顯得十分重要。

我們的系統已經內置每天備份“資料庫”的功能，管理員一般無需刻意處理，但是備份點只會在每日指定時間，由系統自動執行，所以只會備份執行當時之前的資料，而未到下次的備份之間將存在一些不可預知的風險。

所以我們建議管理員每次進行商店的維護或較大規模的增減資料工作前，以手動方式進行備份及下載備份檔，可確保維護出錯時前得到修復的機會。

“資料庫”的備份，只針對文字及數值的資料，任何檔案、圖片、以及客戶上載的檔案將不會在此得到備份。

其他如系統檔案等，備份的工作將由伺服器在例行備份時處理，但這些備份檔我們不會提供給客戶下載保留服務。

進入“資料庫備分”管理：
1. 點擊主選單的“系統工具”
2. 點擊左選單的“資料庫備分”
3. 選用主螢幕的合適功能
針對“資料庫備份”：
1. 點擊主螢幕的“備份”按鈕
2. 選擇是否備份後下載檔案，如只儲存在伺服器端，將會佔據儲存空間
3. 如資料龐大，備份時間將會稍長，請耐心等候，備份未完成前切勿處理其他維護工作
針對“資料庫回存”：
1. 點擊主螢幕的“回存”按鈕
2. 上載在您電腦內的備份檔案
3. 或選擇伺服器端的備份檔案後，點擊“回復資料庫”
4. 如資料龐大，回存時間將會稍長，請耐心等候，回存未完成前切勿處理其他維護工作
針對伺服器端“備份檔案”的動作：
- 回復資料庫
  選擇合適的伺服器端檔案進行回復
- 刪除
  將伺服器端檔案刪除
注意事項：
- 在已知的問題中，龐大的資料庫可能無法順利進行“備份”或“回存”，若在必須的情況下，請通知我們為您處理
- 下載後的“備份檔”應保留完整狀態，不應修改或增減內容，否則無法進行回存

Database and user naming syntax for PostgreSQL and MySQL
Database and user naming syntax for PostgreSQL and MySQL

Since we run a shared hosting environment, we have to uniquely identify your usernames to your account ONLY.

We do this by attaching your system user name and an underscore("_") before all the databases and users YOU create.

Example:
Your added a new database(or user) and your filled in the name: mydatabase
The Real Database Name: username_mydatabase
(e.g. C0801001234567_mydatabase)

* Where C0801001234567 replace your system user name.

This applies to ONLY your database name and database username, you password stays normal.

Database Server/Host Address
- If your script or program is going to be accessing our database locally, meaning it is stored on your account, the server/host address will always be: localhost
- Just like that, lowercase and one word.

Why do I receive a SSL warning when I access control panel?
Why do I receive a SSL warning when I access control panel?

SSL provides a level of security and privacy for those wishing to conduct secure transactions over the Internet. Introduced by Netscape, the SSL protocol protects transmissions over the Internet by encrypting information as it passing between the server and the user. This insures that your transactions are not subject to "sniffing" by a third party.

The Plesk Panel provides two ways of access – Secured and Unencrypted. The first one encrypts the connection between your browser and control panel. The second one (Unencrypted) provides connection on the regular port 8880.

Since the Plesk Panel is a local one and is being accessed per Customer domain, we have installed a SSL certificate for server domain, which ensures your secured connection to the server when using the first method. The warnings are being prompted due to the fact that your domain name mismatches the one that the SSL is generated for (the server's).

However, this is not a reason for your connection to be left unencrypted and you may safely click Continue to this website (not recommended) when receiving the warning. Your connection will be surely encrypted.
- Example for Secured URL
  https://domainname.com:8443 (Recommended)
- Example for Unencrypted URL
  http://domainname.com:8880

Parallels' new release of Plesk Sitebuilder software helps customers with new features.

Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder 4.2 integrates the Fotolia online micro-priced image marketplace into the software's WYSIWYG editor, allowing users to browse and buy photos directly from the Fotolia gallery without leaving the wizard. The software also includes a new design module featuring SitePal speaking avatar technology by Oddcast. SitePal enables users to deploy animated, talking characters on any website.

"Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder 4.2 takes website creation to a whole new level with innovative features that are tightly integrated into the software to improve ease of use," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. "The new version of Parallels website creation software demonstrates our commitment to delivering open solutions based on the Parallels Open Platform to help service providers add value to their offerings."

Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder is a next-generation, scalable website-building application that can be integrated into any business process for hosting providers, ISPs, registrars and telecoms. The software's easy-to-use, five-step wizard and 14 dynamic modules make this software a powerful and flexible solution. It is designed to work with hosting platforms that use the new Application Packaging Standard (APS), such as the Parallels Plesk Control Panel.

The Parallels Open Platform enables hosting with Parallels virtualization and automation technology through integration with a wide range of third-party applications and systems. The APS Standard (APS), a key element of the platform, is used by ISVs and service providers to seamlessly integrate applications to offer to the more than 10 million businesses and individuals that use Parallels products.

Twitter
Twitter

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read each others' updates, known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users - known as followers - who have subscribed to them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. The service is free over the Internet, but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees.

Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as the "SMS of the Internet", as it provides the functionality—via its application programming interface (API)—for other desktop and web-based applications to send and receive short text messages, often obscuring the Twitter service itself.

e-Commerce
e-Commerce

Electronic Commerce is exactly analogous to a marketplace on the Internet.

Electronic Commerce (also referred to as EC, e-commerce eCommerce or ecommerce) consists primarily of the distributing, buying, selling, marketing and servicing of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks.

The information technology industry might see it as an electronic business application aimed at commercial transactions; in this context, it can involve electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, e-marketing, online marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), automated inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Electronic commerce typically uses electronic communications technology of the World Wide Web, at some point in the transaction's lifecycle, although of course electronic commerce frequently depends on computer technologies other than the World Wide Web, such as databases, and e-mail, and on other non-computer technologies, such as transportation for physical goods sold via e-commerce.

C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer)
C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer)

C2C (Consumer-to-consumer) electronic commerce involves the electronically-facilitated transactions between consumers through some third party. A common example is the Ads28.com, EBay, Yahoo!, in which a consumer posts an item for sale and other consumers bid to purchase it; the third party generally charges a flat fee or commission. The sites are only intermediaries, just there to match consumers, they have do not check quality of product being offered.

E-Mail
E-Mail

Electronic mail (abbreviated "e-mail" or, often, "email") is a store and forward method of composing, sending, storing, and receiving messages over electronic communication systems.

The term "e-mail" (as a noun or verb) applies both to the Internet e-mail system based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and to intranet systems allowing users within one organization to e-mail each other. Often these workgroup collaboration organizations may use the Internet protocols for internal e-mail service.

B2C (Business-to-consumer)
B2C (Business-to-consumer)

B2C (Business-to-consumer), also business-to-customer, describes activities of commercial organizations serving the end consumer with products and/or services.

The two main challenges faced by B2C e-commerce are building traffic and sustaining customer loyalty. Due to the winner-take-all nature of the B2C structure, many smaller firms find it difficult to enter a market and remain competitive.

In addition, online shoppers are very price-sensitive and are easily lured away, so acquiring and keeping new customers is difficult.

HTML
HTML

short for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for the creation of web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML is written in the form of labels (known as tags), created by greater-than signs (>) and less-than signs (<). HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can include embedded scripting language code which can affect the behavior of web browsers and other HTML processors.

HTML is also often used to refer to content of the MIME type text/html or even more broadly as a generic term for HTML whether in its XML-descended form (such as XHTML 1.0 and later) or its form descended directly from SGML (such as HTML 4.01 and earlier).
