Technical - configuration of e-mail
The "trash" mail folder in each email account is cleaned automatically after 30 days. Automatic cleaning only applies to that one mail folder. The natural intention of moving the messages to trash folder is to delete them, the trash only delays the immediate deletion - it is a protection against taking up too much space of the hosting account.
We making complete migrations for our clients. If you want to transfer hosting to us, we will take your websites and e-mail accounts with all messages (including imap folders, if used).
We provide this service for free.

Configuring outgoing mail:
SMTP Port: 587, if encrypted with SSL / TLS (normal password): 465
Configuring incoming mail:
IMAP Port: 143, if encrypted with SSL / TLS (normal password): 993
or
POP3 Port: 110, if encrypted with SSL / TLS (Normal password): 995
On all our servers, we have correctly configured SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records for the purpose of correctly receiving e-mails by other servers.
The servers also operate correctly forwarding mail, by the correctly configured SPF mechanism: SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme). With this mechanisms you can safely send emails further, with the certainty that e-mails will reach recipients and will not be classified as spam.
There are no special restrictions on the sending of e-mails. Most settings are the default for most mail servers. The number of sent messages is also limited to 1000 emails per hour. The size of a single e-mail was increased from standard 50 MB to 100 MB.
Yes - Smarthost servers support port 587 (smtp-submission) for sending mail. Port 587 is intended for sending e-mails by client mail programs, we recommend changing the outgoing e-mail port from standard 25 to port 587. For example, an Orange internet connection users need to change port to 587 to get send mails ability because port 25 is default blocked.
On smarthost.eu servers there is a multi-stage anti-spam protection installed.
Each user of the server can set the rules for the SpamAssassin program in the panel, which will allow, for example, adding the word *** SPAM *** to the message titles or just to delete spam. Settings can be made for the entire hosting account or for individual email accounts.
Technical - FTP configuration
By creating an ftp account from cPanel, you create a login and password, which allows you to set the login to the additional directory on the server (by default, a directory with the name identical to the name of the ftp account is created). You can also change the directory to which the account refers when creating an ftp account (in particular, it can be the server's root directory).
The login of an additional ftp account is always "login@customer-domain.eu", and not the account name itself (ie the login to ftp contains the domain)
Technical - configuration of www server, php etc.
When using the CURL fetch tool on the server, there are some differences with the implementations on different operating systems that you need to be aware of. On our servers where CentOS/CloudLinux is installed, the curl command must be invoked with the -L flag to fetch the content. For example, Debian Linux systems do not need this flag.
On the server is able to use Mcrypt, however, ther is one condition. The php version for the domain on which the extension is used should be set to 5.6 or 7.0 because only for those version of php this extension works.
By default, PHP is run in the version that is the main (default) on a given server (on the new servers the default version is PHP 8.2).
On servers, you can use php (and programs that use php, eg composer) in the appropriate version of php - from 5.6 to 8.2. By default, PHP is run in the version that is the main (default) on a given server (on the new servers the default version is PHP 8.2).
Of course, you can also run any version of PHP with ssh - we have prepared a guide on how to do it: How to install WP-cli
Mod_security is an Apache server module that helps to protect websites from various attacks from outside.
This module is used to block commonly known so-called exploits. Security is implemented by a set of ready-made rules that are based on the so-called regular expressions. On Smarthost.eu servers, this module was enabled by default from November 7, 2014. Mod_Security can protect against some code injection attacks, which increases the security of hosting accounts on the server.
Sometimes when creating dynamic websites (which currently account for over 90% of existing websites), programmers forget to test the code for protection against attacks by not validating input data, e.g. in forms. Mod_security can help in these cases by checking the data that users enter.
.Core files are created when the php script or program in memory is incorrectly closed or interrupted. Then the core. files are created containing a dropping of memory which can be used to diagnose a malfunctioning application.
Often core files. they are also created due to incorrect directives in local php.ini .user.ini or htaccess files
Core files. which take up space on the server can be deleted, however the fact that they are creating indicates that something with the scripts is not working properly and should be reviewed before deleting them in order to diagnose the cause of the application malfunctioning.
Technical - configuration of dns, domains
See also the guide: Domain transfer
To connect a domain registered with another registrar:
After this operation, the domain should change its existing servers up to 24H with new ones.
You can also transfer the domain to Smarthost.eu and pay it with the hosting package, it is necessary in the current registrar to get the AUTHINFO code which entitles you to transfer the domain. Then log in to your account www.smarthost.eu/panel/ and go to the home page www.smarthost.eu. Then select from the menu the option: Domain registration -> Domain transfer and complete the application by providing the previously downloaded AUTHINFO code obtained in the panel of the current registrar.
You can add a domain to account in Cpanel -> Domains -> Create a New Domain
Domain can refers to any directory on the server (in particular also the server's root directory). By default, by adding an domain, the system proposes creating a directory with the same name as the domain name, eg by adding the following domain to the account: customerdomain.smarthost.eu domain – customer-domain.eu - it will be installed as an indication to the following directory: customerdomain.smarthost.eu/customer- domain.eu.
Of course domain directory can be changed later in the cPanel -> Domains -> mange on domain bar
To add a domain to a hosting account:
Technical - SSL certificates
If you want to automatically route the connection from http to https, add the following lines at the beginning of the .htaccess file in the root directory of the domain
Without the prefix www:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
With the www prefix:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
All Smarthost.eu hosting accounts have default SSL certificate. Customer just need to add a domain through Additional Domains in cPanel, and a free certificate will be generated within 30 minutes.
By dispelling doubts and frequently appearing questions:
All our hosting accounts have built-in free SSL certificates of the cPanel/Sectigo brand. CPanel/Sectigo certificates install automatically after adding a domain in Additional domains in cPanel. There is no need to install the certificate manually.
Optionally, Iit is also possible to install free Let's Encrypt certificates. The installation of the certificate is very simple and takes a few seconds. The cPanel certificate offers the same level of security as the Let's Encrypt certificate, so installation is optional.
Details about SSL certificate: https://www.smarthost.eu/free-ssl-certificates-for-all-domains
Finance, payments
The hosting package can be changed at any time in the customer panel: www.smarthost.eu/panel
By changing the package, a proforma invoice is automatically generated, which is the difference between the prices of hosting packages. The days that have been left until the end of the current accounting period will also be included. You pay only the difference in price and only for the part of the year that remained until the end of the settlement period.
At the time of paying the fee for exchanging the package with online payment - the change is made automatically at the time of payment.
Script installation: Joomla, Wordpress etc.
Often during the Joomla installation, after entering the correct data, an error may appear:
Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Error connecting to PGSQL database.
The solution to the problem is to change "localhost" to "127.0.0.1", because this is the same.
Yes, we realize that one of the advantages of WordPress, Joomla and others are a huge amount thanks to the active community of Internet users. We recommend that you regularly keep up-to-date with modules, templates, plugins, etc.
We, for our part, also take care of the security of your websites not allowing scripts of unknown origin to cause damage. On Smarthost servers we have implemented protection against over 4000 exploits
You can read about it here: Anti-exploit system
Of course, there are many Wordpress installations on our servers. For the convenience of our clients, we even created guides how to install this popular system step by step and how to transfer Wordpress from your own computer to the server:
Step by step Wordpress installation
Transferring WordPress from computer to server
WordPress (and about 400 other popular scripts) can also be installed using the Softaculous autoinstaller. In this system, there is also the possibility of creating copies of websites (the so-called stage).
When installing Joomla 1.5.20, an error occurs that a syntax error exists.
The error is related to the fact that version 1.5.x is an old version of Joomla and the MySQL database server version 8.0.x is installed on the server.
Joomla 1.5.x can be installed by manually modifying installation scripts
Nevertheless, we do NOT recommend installing old versions due to possible safety gaps
General informations
We have introduced WordPress security against attacks on wp-login and wp-admin. You can read about it here: How to secure your Wordpress login
The servers also feature WAF (Web Application Firewall) security and a specialized tool delivered by the cPanel system: cpHulk.
Yes, currently all our hosting accounts with SSH access are adapted to run the application created for the Node.js platform, after installing it according to our guide: https://www.smarthost.eu/blog/how-to-run-node-js-in-cpanel
Avaliable ports for Sharded Hosting is range from 49152 to 65534. if the port is occupied by another client, use the next available one.
Thanks to the .htaccess redirect given in the above guide, we can use the Node.js server as a web server and access the pages it serves both via port 80 (http) and 443 (https).
Yes, it is possible to enable ssh access on all hosting accounts, except for test (unpaid) accounts.
You can enable ssh access yourself in the Customer Panel.
Go to https://www.smarthost.eu/panel/services
While in the panel, click the gear on the hosting service bar and then click "enable ssh".
From now on, ssh access is enabled on your account.
Backups of the entire hosting account are made daily, during the night. The backup is transferred immediately after execution on the external matrix (separate hardware, in separate rooms of the server room).
The last 7 backups can be recovered.
Data recovery is free. For this purpose, please send a message to hosting@smarthost.eu from the authorized e-mail address with a request to restore the copy from before the specific date, indicating what is to be reproduced, eg a specific site (directory), database or mailbox. It is also possible to restore the entire account.
We only use branded solutions - therefore, on all our hosting servers we offer one of the most popular solutions in the domain of hosting software, i.e. american cPanel.
cPanel software is “responsive” and works correctly and conveniently on mobile devices.
Our hosting servers are the most modern server platforms. We do not use used equipment. Currently, in our datacenter work almost only machines of Dell, based on dual twenty-core Intel Xeon processors and fast memory DDR4. We use only rack servers, placed in our own professional server room located in Poland (air conditioning, fire protection, power protection from several substations, multiple connections, physical protection, etc.)

The user can manage the entire hosting account. There is no strict division of space for websites or mail. However, there is a possibility of limiting the capacity of individual e-mailboxes (although this is not recommended) - often "forgetting" about the limit is the reason for reporting problems with mail loss, due to the fact that e-mail is rejected when the e-mail account capacity is exceeded.
