Why using free email accounts is bad idea?
Why using free email accounts is bad idea?

We recommend that you NOT use an email address from a free service (e.g. Yahoo! or Hotmail) with your account information.

Instead, please enter a traditional address, such as that from your account, or one issued to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

This gives us better assurance of being able to contact you should we need to, as well as helping us protect your account and prevent fraud.

Email Tutorial

How do I access my webmail (Check emails using a browser)?
How do I access my webmail (Check emails using a browser)?

You can read your mail and compose new messages even if you are far from your home or office computer. To do this, you first need to allow access to the Horde Webmail interface that is integrated with your control panel. Then you can work with your mail from any computer with Internet connection and Web browser installed, or a WAP-enabled cellular phone or a handheld computer (PDA).
To login to your webmail use the following url:

http://webmail.yourdomain.com

*where yourdomain.com is your domain name.

Login details are your email address and password you setup in your control panel.
This is the perfect Webmail program, which comes with all our web hosting plans, so you can access your emails anywhere in the world.
You can read your mail and compose new messages even if you are far from your home or office computer. To do this, you first need to allow access to the Horde Webmail interface that is integrated with your control panel. Then you can work with your mail from any computer with Internet connection and Web browser installed, or a WAP-enabled cellular phone or a handheld computer (PDA).
Horde offers many of the features available in pc email clients like Outlook Express. Some of the features include:
- Compose and send emails
- Read your incoming mail
- Email search facility
- Address book
- Calendar and events
- Save work as a draft
- Task lists
- Create folders for storing your mail
To login to your webmail use the following url:

http://webmail.yourdomain.com

*where yourdomain.com is your domain name.

The login name is the full email address i.e. you@yoursite.com and the password is the one you setup when you created the email in PLESK.

Login details are your email address and password you setup in your PLESK control panel or Online E-Store System.
If you also use an email client like Outlook Express to check your mail and still want to access the mail with Horde, make sure you check the option to leave mail on the server. If you fail to do this, all your mail will be downloaded to your email client and won't be accessable via webmail with Horde. Please be aware though that leaving your emails on the server will increase your used disk space as well.

Are you able to receive emails but not send?
Are you able to receive emails but not send?

If you can receive mail but aren't able to send this means one thing.....

There are number of things causing this. Unless you've received an announcement from us that mail isn't working properly at the time you're having difficulty.

Chances are it is some internet provider is blocking you from using anyone's incoming mail servers but their own. Many major ISP's are blocking incoming emails.

The reason they do this is to prevent you from using their internet connection for spamming purposes.

You will still be able to send emails, but only by using your ISP'S outgoing mail server.
Every ISP's outgoing mail address is different, but for the most part they will be mail.yourispname.com
For example, if you had hosting with AOL.com, their outgoing mail server would look like this: mail.aol.com.

If mail.yourisp.com does not work and you are still unable to send emails, you will need to call your internet service provider to find out what their outgoing mail server is.

Setup fetch email using Netvigator
Setup fetch email using Netvigator

Why Should I Use Fetch Mail Instead of an Email Forwarder?

We are committed to improving the stability of services.

Unfortunately, it is very common for mail forwarding to cause blacklisting with many large email providers. This most commonly occurs when large amounts of mail are forwarded and then marked as spam after it has been received in the end user's inbox. This results in our server's sending reputation being penalized since it was the last server to send the mail. Ultimately, our server will be blacklisted with the email provider and it will affect all of other users on the same server.

A solution to this is to disabled mail forwarding altogether. change to using mail fetcher, you can access mail in a other system without having the mail routed through that system's server. This way, you can mark a message as spam without it affecting our email server's reputation.

The instructions below provide steps on how to fetch mail from our server so you can access them via Netvigator Mail.

Once Mail Fetcher is set up, Netvigator will check those accounts on a regular basis, and new mail will appear automatically in Netvigator mail.
- Log into your Netvigator account. https://www.netvigator.com/chi/email.php
- Click Preferences and locate the Accounts section.
- Click Add External Account.
- Enter the full email address in the Email address field.
- Select POP3 in the Account type field.
- Enter the full email address in the Username of Account field.
- Enter mail.yourdomain.com in the Email Server field. (Enter your domain instead of "yourdomain.com".)
- In the Password field, enter the password for the email address you provided.
- No need to enable Advanced Settings.
- Click Save.
Attention
- As a convenience to users, we provide information about how to use certain third-party products, but we do not have technical support third-party products. we are not responsible for the functions or reliability of such products.

Online Status
Online Status

我們的“網上商店”系統內置線上瀏覽者追蹤功能，透過“線上客戶”，您能掌握即時的店面瀏覽實況，了解那些客戶正在參觀的商品，以及客戶當時放在“購物車”的東西。

若您正在提供“線上即時支援服務”，更可直接看看和您聯系中的客戶購物情況，以便提供產品訊息給那位發問中的客戶。

進入“線上客戶”：
1. 點擊主選單的“系統工具”
2. 點擊左選單的“線上客戶”
“線上客戶”包含的資料：
- 客戶名稱
  若瀏覽者已成功登入，將顯示對方的稱呼
- 國家及IP
  當前瀏覽者的IP及IP區域所屬的國家，該國家未必與顧客所登記的資料相同
- 上線
  當前瀏覽者的總逗留時間
- 登入時間
  最初進入網站的時間
- 最後動作時間
  當前瀏覽者最後點擊的時間
- 最後連結
  最近訪問的頁面
針對“線上客戶”的動作：
- 資訊
  檢視該名瀏覽者或顧客放在“購物車”裏的產品名單及售價
注意事項：
- 每筆在線瀏覽記錄，將會在再沒有點擊動作二分鐘後清除
- 每筆記錄代表一位瀏覽者身份，少數情況下同一位瀏覽者會產生多於一筆的記錄，例如對方的電腦在處理cookies時出現變化，系統無法識別前段身份
- 一些“搜索引擎”在進行自動化資料採集，系統仍有可能被記錄及顯示成“線上客戶”
- 一些向您的線上商店發動惡意網路攻擊的情況，系統仍有可能被記錄及顯示成“線上客戶”

客戶服務管理
客戶服務管理

每當顧客經瀏覽貴公司網站後，可能會對某種產品感興趣，有些顧客會即時進行訂購，亦有可能先透過查詢待了解更多相關資料後才進行訂購，現時的營商環境均講求高效率，所以對客戶的服務亦需盡快回應。

在我們的經驗來說，一般顧客均希望產品供應商向他/她們第一時間回覆，如在辦工時間內可啟動我們提供的顧客即時查詢系統，以文字型式即時接觸客戶，但人手不能配合，亦盡量在十二小時內回應客戶的查詢，這些服務可有效增加產品的成功銷售率，並提高客戶的信心及建立良好口碑。

以下是一些新業務需面對及安排人手處理的客戶服務重點：
- 客戶發出的電子郵件查詢
- 客戶發出的產品、訂單查詢
- 對客戶發出的大數量訂購要求，預備安排額外的聯絡人手
- 替客戶跟進訂購產品的貨運延期問題
- 按業務及產品性質提供產品優良保證及退換細節，並於客戶服務頁展示內容
- 客戶可能對已收貨的產品感到不滿意或商家寄出錯誤的產品，這些均需預先計劃處理方案
- 產品在郵寄或貨運中遺失或損壞，當然出現率很低，但亦需預先計劃處理方案並展示解決資料讓顧客知述
- 預先了解金流、信用咭公司的合約細節，以便當顧客要求取消訂單或退款、存貨不能如常供應而產生的取消訂單、少數的虛假信用咭詐騙行為等，能有效處理上述有機會發生的問題
- 客戶或同業的投訴亦需有效地安排跟進

E-Mail Duplicate
E-Mail Duplicate

透過“電子郵件副本”，您能翻閱最近從“管理員控制台”寄出的給顧客或查詢者的郵件，以便在出現分歧問題時掌握當時的訊息，而且亦有助處理客戶服務及改善運作。

系統只會記錄從“管理員控制台”寄出的郵件，而店面自動寄出的一般確認信，例如“會員登記”、“訂單確認”、“查詢確認”等是不會被記錄，而其他非經商店系統處理的訊息，像普通電子郵件、網路郵局等，亦無法進行記錄。

進入“電子郵件副本”：
1. 點擊主選單的“系統工具”
2. 點擊左選單的“電子郵件副本”

- 郵件主題
- 郵件內容
- 寄出日期
- 寄件人
  一般為“商店管理員”或其他獲委派的管理員

  將郵件副本刪除
注意事項：
- 郵件副本不包含“電子報”及“傳送手機短訊 ”
- 系統只會記錄能成功從“管理員控制台”寄出的電子郵件
- 成功寄出並不等於收件寄能順利收信或已閱讀郵件，尚有其他因素影響郵件的送遞，例如收件者郵箱已滿、郵件無法通過對方的垃圾郵件過慮、收件者電郵地址錯誤等。
- 在各種郵件的處理上，如沒有選擇“保留郵件副本”，系統將無法記錄這些郵件
- 一些免費申請的電子郵箱，例如“奇摩雅虎”，會加插他們的廣告於每封郵件內，而且內容也有可能被自動修改，所以從系統寄出的郵件格式，可能與收件者看見的不相同
- 如果收信者堅稱無法收到您寄出的電郵，請嘗試使用其他方法向對方聯系，或請對方關注郵件是否被置於“Bulk Mail Folder”

- 若有使用其他第三方供應商，例如“收款閘道”，基放計算方式、環境因素等，二者的報表數據結果可能並不一致
- 報表資料屬即時狀態，而過往記錄有可能受其他因素影響，例如管理員對訂單的刪除等，所以資料將與實際稍有差別
- 報表數據只供參考

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

Glossary

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.

Download
Download

download is to receive data from a remote system, such as a HTTP, FTP server, or other similar systems. A download is any file that is offered for downloading or that has been downloaded.

*** The above information is for reference only, Please seek independent technical advice if found necessary.
Internet Protocol
Internet Protocol

Internet Protocol (IP) is a unique address that certain electronic devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP)—in simpler terms, a computer address. Any participating network device—including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax machines, and some telephones—can have their own unique address.

An IP address can also be thought of as the equivalent of a street address or a phone number (compare: VoIP (voice over (the) internet protocol)) for a computer or other network device on the Internet. Just as each street address and phone number uniquely identifies a building or telephone, an IP address can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on a network.

IP addresses can appear to be shared by multiple client devices either because they are part of a shared hosting web server environment or because a proxy server (e.g., an ISP or anonymizer service) acts as an intermediary agent on behalf of its customers, in which case the real originating IP addresses might be hidden from the server receiving a request. The analogy to telephone systems would be the use of predial numbers (proxy) and extensions (shared).

IP addresses are managed and created by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The IANA generally allocates super-blocks to Regional Internet Registries, who in turn allocate smaller blocks to Internet service providers and enterprises.

B2B (business-to-bussiness)
B2B (business-to-bussiness)

Business-to-business electronic commerce (B2B) typically takes the form of automated processes between trading partners and is performed in much higher volumes than business-to-consumer (B2C) applications.

For example, a company that makes chicken feed would sell it to a chicken farm, another company, rather than directly to consumers. An example of a B2C transaction would be a consumer buying grain-fed chickens at a grocery store.

B2B can also encompass marketing activities between businesses, and not just the final transactions that result from marketing. B2B also is used to identify sales transactions between business. For example a company selling photocopiers would likely be a B2B sales organisation as opposed to a B2C (business to consumer) sales organisation.

Browser
Browser

Browser is a software application that enables a user to display and interact with text, images, and other information typically located on a web page at a website on the World Wide Web or a local area network. Text and images on a web page can contain hyperlinks to other web pages at the same or different website. Web browsers allow a user to quickly and easily access information provided on many web pages at many websites by traversing these links. Web browsers format HTML information for display, so the appearance of a web page may differ between browsers.

Some of the web browsers available for personal computers include Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Netscape, and Opera in order of descending popularity (as of August 2006). Web browsers are the most commonly used type of HTTP user agent. Although browsers are typically used to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by web servers in private networks or content in file systems.

「.tel」域名時代來臨，勢成全球電話簿

「.tel」域名時代來臨，勢成全球電話簿

所有個人或企業，於2009年2月3日起可以註冊「.tel」域名，作為對外溝通的渠道。這新域名特別針對流動上網，據報道，美國意大利法拉利車廠與《哈利波特》小說作家羅琳、微軟公司等等都已率先註冊該域名。

「.tel」域名的特點是讓企業將所有聯繫方法，如電話、傳真、電郵等放在「.tel」，讓網民更方便與企業聯絡，甚至直接透過網站撥打電話或發送文字短信。企業還可以用它通過即時消息（Instant Messaging）工具、博客平台甚至語音電話（VoIP）服務等低成本通信渠道來降低其成本，從而做到既省錢又能加強客戶服務。

「.tel」域名不同其他網域名稱的部分，在於不需有自己的IP，就能直接有完整網頁的呈現，並透過創新技術使得網頁內的聯絡資訊或關鍵字得以直接儲存，並同時被大眾所查閱，在透過其他常用軟體的支援下，點選EMAIL, MSN ID, SKYPE ID 或地址, 都能呈現極佳的互動效果。

Telnic表示，他們會以「先到先得」的方式處理申請，預計一些極具吸引力的域名將很快會被搶購一空。

全球網民在香港時間2009年2月3日23時起，就可到Telnic的網站 http://telnic.org 登記，每個.tel域名售300美元，為期3年，之後每年20美元。

Google 7.68 Terabits Per Second Cable
Google 7.68 Terabits Per Second Cable

Search giant finalizes plan for Pacific fiber being ran.

The recent quakes in Taiwan highlighted a lack of redundancy in the Pacific, where fiber runs have about half the capacity found across the Atlantic. A number of companies are planning to rectify that -- including Verizon, who is working with a number of companies to run an 11,000 mile, five terabits per second (Tbps) cable from the United States (Oregon) directly to mainland China, Taiwan and South Korea.

Google is also laying Pacific fiber as part of a consortium named Unity, formed alongside six international companies. The coalition is building a 6,200 mile, 7.68Tbps capable fiber run from Los Angeles to Chikura, located off the coast near Tokyo. Google today announced they finalized the deal on the $300 million project. According to the press release Trans-pacific bandwidth demand continues to surge:

According to the TeleGeography Global Bandwidth Report, 2007, Trans–Pacific bandwidth demand has grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 63.7 percent between 2002 and 2007. It is expected to continue to grow strongly from 2008 to 2013, with total demand for capacity doubling roughly every two years. "The Unity cable system allows the members of the consortium to provide the increased capacity needed as more applications and services migrate online, giving users faster and more reliable connectivity," said Unity spokesperson Jayne Stowell.

It's obviously a nice deal for Google, given the content operator gets access to bandwidth at build cost. NEC Corporation and Tyco Telecommunications will build the fiber run starting immediately, and it should be completed by 2010, assuming that the undersea cable cutting bogeyman leaves them alone.
