High Performance Block Storage (HPBS) provides additional hard drive space for your Storm Server with just a few clicks. The space is not pre-formatted; rather, it is a raw block device. The simplicity of providing a raw block device on the cloud means that you can mount and format the space on your server however you would like, with whatever filesystem is appropriate for your needs. This does entail a small amount of work getting the space into a usable state.
If you need to review your invoices or print them for your own record keeping you can do so very easily by logging in to https://manage.liquidweb.com.
Servers do a fantastic job of writing down in log files what is happening right that moment. While going back and reading logs later to determine what happened in the past is helpful, it is also useful to watch logs in real time. Linux provides a command line tool that lets us do just that: tail.

One component of Liquid Web’s Server Secure service is an Apache module called Mod Security (often shortened to just “modsec”). Modsec monitors all incoming HTTP requests for malicious behavior, and does not complete requests that meet certain criteria. These criteria are spelled out in what are called “rules” or “rulesets”.
In an ideal world, only malicious requests would be caught in modsec’s trap. Unfortunately, there are some instances where legitimate requests are stopped as well. How do we determine that this is what happening, and what can we do about it?

Utilizing the W3 Total Cache plugin, it is easier than you think. In fact, W3 Total Cache is among our list of recommended plugins for WordPress. (more…)
One of the perks of having your own domain is the ability to set up e-mail addresses for it. cPanel makes creating a new e-mail address simple.
Back in 2008, all development stopped on PHP 4. Since that time, no features have been added, no bugs have been fixed, and no security holes have been patched up.
After supporting it for years, cPanel recently removed PHP4 as an option from EasyApache. Since Liquid Web relies on cPanel to administer a good number of our servers, we too have stopped fully supporting PHP 4.
While it is in your best interest to move to the most recent version of PHP 5, it may not be possible to do so immediately. cPanel does give us an unsupported way to run PHP 4 in the interim.
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) can help your websites load more quickly while decreasing the load on your own server. But how do you know which type of CDN service will work best for you?
