/VPS storage full
Once storage is above 80% it will cause performance issues and if storage is 100% your cPanel and website might not work and you will be able to access account only using SFTP or SSH using root.
You can SSH on the account using root and use the following command to check the folders having maximum storage df -h to check all du -h –max-depth=1
You can check the following link for exact steps to connect using SFTP on account: http://carvertown.com/accessing-server-sftp/
You can enable or disable backups on either Cpanel->performance->disk management or from WHM on WHM->backups->backup configuration.
I will create a ticket to the admins on this. The admin who takes the ticket will send you an email with the list of backups and you can reply to this email with the ones you wish to remove.
You can SFTP into the account using the following configurations:
Server/host:
Port number: 22
Username: root
and the password is the root password which you can set from: cPanel > Performance > Access Management.
You can type in “/backup/cpbackup” in the “Remote host:” section.
Then press enter. this will bring you to the folder where the daily, weekly or monthly backup folders are stored.

/rename
It is not recommended to change the primary domain on the VPS accounts. This process may break the server and it will also delete all the sub cPanel accounts.
There will be no change for website files. Server may break as it is designed with the reference to current main domain. But we can fix it in case it breaks , but we may need 24 to 48 hours.
It is recommended to take backups before proceeding further.
Do you wish to proceed with the change process despite this ?

/filezilla
I am sorry you are having this problem. With a recent update to FileZilla they have changed the default connection Encryption.
We do not currently support FTPS (TLS). This means that the Quick Connect Bar might no longer work.
Please use the Site Manager (https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Site_Manager). You will use the same FTP login information, but you need to change the Encryption to “Use Plain FTP”.
1) Open FileZilla
2) At the top left of FileZilla, select File > Site Manager
3) Within the site manager, enter in the following:
Host: Your account IP address or ftp.yourdomainname.com
User: cpanel username or ftp username
Pass: cpanel or ftp password
4) There is a dropdown labeled “Encryption”. Select Only Use Plain FTP (insecure).
5) Press Connect

- Server was out of memory and stuck and I had to power cycle that box to bring the sites back online, you would need to optimize the scripts to bring the resource usage down and common recommendations are to optimize scripts databases etc and to reduce traffic by resorting to CDN such as Cloudflare.
- Since static contents like images,. css and javascript gets cached on a CDN server, the overall requests incoming to the server will reduce as the resources will be fetched from the nearest CDN server rather directly from the server.
/performance / optimize
Un-optimized website scripts on the server is similar to using an application on your phone which is not coded correctly. The application always uses more resources that it actually require, may crash from time to time and may even cause the phone to be stuck.
- Getting bad Gateway means having many processes, you’re using too many resources. You need to optimize and clean up the account.
- So your account appears to be throttled due to it using too many of the server’s resources, you can read about what throttling is and what causes it here
- https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/564
- To decrease your load times I would definitely recommend using the free service CloudFlare
- https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/cloudflare
- Some other things that can contribute to this are: page size, how much content is on a single page and how much data it has to load on that page, image size/resolution,
- video/audio/media size. Database size, database optimization, long queries, erroneous queries, non-cached sites, broken scripts, and much more.
- The best way to start, is to disable all plugins, and navigating around the site. If it’s significantly faster, you know one of the plugins you are using is definitely
- causing the slowness.
- Then re-activate the plugins one by one, and navigating around and seeing how it does after each one you activate.
- When you activate one that causes the site to become super slow, you know you found the plugin causing the issue.

/Unmanaged Server:
You will be responsible for properly maintaining and optimizing your server and websites. If you do not have experience maintaining Linux-based servers, we recommend hiring someone who does.
/Downtime: File migration:
“There will be downtime during the upgrade as we are physically moving your files from one server to another.”
/DNS Settings:
Your IP address will change when upgrading to VPS hosting. If your domain name is not registered with us, you will need to update your DNS records to your new dedicated IP after the upgrade. It takes about 4 – 24 hours to propagate to the new IP, after which your website will come back online.
/Security:
VPS servers are just as vulnerable to attacks as our shared servers and generally receive more traffic — which can result in more attacks. We highly recommend using Sitelock Fix or SiteLock Prevent for automatic malware removal.
/Disable access to a subdomain
- The following is an example ‘.htaccess’ code which provides a thorough means of making the Addon domain folders, and their contents, invisible through the main domain by forcing a “404 Not Found” error. This will work both for web browsers and search engines:
- RewriteEngine On
- RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ NC
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/addonfolder/(.*)$
- RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – R=404
- The example rewrite rules will force ‘http://www.domain.com/addonfolder/’ and any of its contents to report the “404 Not Found” error.
- Be sure to replace the ‘domain.com’ in the example with your hosting account’s main domain address and ‘addonfolder’ with the name of the folder for your Addon domain.
- This can also be applied to multiple Addon domain folders through the use of the OR option as in the following example in which 3 Addon folders are being reported as “404 Not Found” when accessed through the main domain:
- RewriteEngine On
- RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ NC
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/addon1/(.*)$ OR
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/addon2/(.*)$ OR
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/addon3/(.*)$
- RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – L

/pure FTP
Pure-FTPd is generally regarded as faster FTP than Pro FTPd, though it will not display stats in the stats menu. Pure-FTPd will be useful in instances where bandwidth usage is less important than file transfer speed. Pure-FTPd supports virtual user quotas, whereas ProFTPd does not. PureFTPd is very much secure then ProFTP. Licensed under the BSD license, PureFTPd can be installed in any Linux Based system but not Windows.
ProFTPd will display your bandwidth usage, allowing you to monitor the amount of bandwidth your FTP sessions are using. ProFTPd is recommended in instances when monitoring your bandwidth is of the utmost importance; for example, on a limited bandwidth hosting plan. ProFTPd is a modular FTP server which very much used. Most of the control panels support this one. There is a lot of features awailable in ProFTP, while a very less is being used in a cPanel perspective. It is also using the GPL for licensing. Configuration of ProFTPd issimple, and example configuration files can be found easily over the net.

Assurance that our filters are working as intended and are not broken or having any types of errors causing this issue for our customer.
We understand that email is pivotal for everyone. Greylisted emails are being flagged as possible spam. Normally we would block these messages,
but instead we scrutinize these messages to make sure that they are not spam and deliver them as quickly as possible. It only takes one bad email to get
our servers blocked, and if a server is blocked, all of your emails can bounce and your recipients will never receive them. Greylisting, as a whole,
can be summed up as Sender Reputation.
