Fix Ownership

some files are created with apache permissions (e.g. unpack an archive, php scripts) and you're not able to edit/delete them. This feature will fix permissions and you will be able to manipulate all files under your account.

Free hit tracker (web counter):

We have full support for mod_rewrite or dot files (.htaccess, .htpasswd).

Attention!! A wrong .htaccess file can block your site and instead you will see a

500 internal server error.

With .htaccess you're able to set custom error pages.

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
ErrorDocument 403 /403.html

404.html - not found errors

403.html - forbidden errors

enable indexes using:

Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing

block sites using:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*badsite\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*otherbadsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

note the OR if you want to add block more than one domain.

block IPs or bad domains (apache 2.4):

Require all granted
Require not ip 192.168.1.10 10.0.0. 
Require not host phishers.example.com moreidiots.example

in our example you block ip 192.168.1.10 and all IPs starting with 10.0.0. It may be 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 etc. You can also block an entire domain or you can specify just part of an address or domain name.

Attention!! Use a very hard to guess password to prevent your account being hacked. Also, install only new and optimized scripts. Take care with full permissions 777!!! For security reasons, set permissions for script configuration file to 644.
