Frequently Asked Questions

This FAQ applies only to hosting clients under the human-assisted service. Domain and hosting clients using the Self-Service E-store may visit the E-Store's KnowledgeBase.

Q. How do I log into my Control Panel?
A.
http://cho.centralhostoffice.com:2082 - cPanel
https://cho.centralhostoffice.com:2083 - Secure cPanel (SSL cert from CACert.org)

Q. How do I log into the Webmail interface?
A.
http://cho.centralhostoffice.com:2095 - Webmail
https://cho.centralhostoffice.com:2096 - Secure Webmail (SSL cert from CACert.org)

Q. What happened to OpenWebmail?
A. OpenWebmail and Neomail will no longer be offered as their security issues under cPanel could not be resolved. Currently, you have a choice between three other great webmail modules: Horde, Squirrelmail or Roundcube. Try each of them out, as everyone has different comfort levels with each of these webmail modules.

Q. I am a site administrator. Where can I learn to use cPanel?
A. An online version of the manual is available here (http://www.cpanel.net/docs/cpanel). The interface is quite self-explanatory, but you can always ask for assistance by emailing us your concern. We can always do some of the modifications for you. For more thorough issues, you can also go to cPanel's forum section. Finally, a PDF version of the cPanel instruction manual is available here (608k zipped).

Q. I am a site administrator. Where can I read my admin emails?
A. cPanel separated hosting access usernames from usernames within domains. Therefore you will need to create an email account separate from the cPanel access username assigned to you.

Q. How can I reject all emails that are misdirected or obviously being spammed to my domain?
A. Go to "Default Address" under cPanel's email feature and set the address to ":fail: no such address here". Voila, no more random emails.

Q. I am migrating from another webhost. What's the easiest way to transfer my website to Central Host Office?
A. If the other server is also cPanel, we'll move everything including emails. Otherwise, we can only move whatever's in your site that can be transfered via FTP.

Q. How do I change my email address' password?
A. The option to change password appears in the webmail interface options page.

Q. Do I have shell access? How do I use it?
A. Please email us to request for shell access. Shell access is restricted to reduce security risks, and we definitely do not use port 22 for SSH access.

Q. Where are the modules you promised in the Hosting Plans section?
A. Modules may be activated from your control panel. Each site must activate its own modules. Modules usually use one or more MySQL database. Do analyze your needs before installing modules, as you have a limited number of databases. Modules are found either in the main menu of the control panel, or inside the Fantastico section. Again, the modules are there -- you have to install them to be able to use them.

Q. I use Server Side Includes (SSI) but I also want to use PHP. How can I use both at the same time?
A. Note that using any one of these will add some load on the server, but if you really have to, go to MIME Types in your control panel and add Mime Type "application/x-httpd-php" and "text/x-server-parsed-html", both with extensions "html htm".

Q. I only availed of domain registration. There is still no website, no nothing. What else is included with your domain registration service? Do I get a parking page?
A. We can provide you a 4MB parking page with unlimited data transfer. This will allow you to put up your logo and email address at the very least. For all domains that are registered through our human-assisted section, we will manage DNS entries for you, including modification of contact details and server addresses. We can also be your DNS server if your webhost does not provide you such service.
