How can I disable mod_security?

We use mod_security to protect your site from hackers and http injection attacks as well as many other protective features.

From time to time, you may come across a script that simply will not work with mod_security enabled, especially scripts that are custom made or uncommon. Usually the error returned is “403 Forbidden” when trying to load a page.

If you find that your script is creating false positives within mod_security then we can disable mod-security for your domain name. Sometimes your domain name alone may trigger false positives, especially if there’s spammy looking text within your domain such as “cheapmedsonline” or “loseweightfast”.

Simply contact the helpdesk and ask for mod_security to be disabled.

How do I change the PHP Mail() from address?

When using the PHP Mail() function you will find that the ‘from’ email address is often an unfriendly looking system email address sometimes even belonging to the root or system user, this can confuse your userbase as well as making it impossible for them to reply to any system messages that you send.

To make this change you first need to decide which email address you would like the from address to represent. This email address must exist on the server where your PHP Mail() function is being called, if the email address you choose does not exist, then your efforts will be wasted.

$result = mail(“to@address.com”, “subject”, “message”, “From: other@address.com\n”, “-fother@address.com”);

Make sure that the other@address.com exists on the server, if it does not, this will not work.

If you have any problems simply contact the Helpdesk for further assistance,

Which web hosting control panel do you use?

Starting from 2010, we switched to Parallel’s Plesk web hosting control panel software for our new server range. Plesk is currently the best web hosting control panel on the market giving high performance, security and flexilibity.

Previously we used Ensim Pro which is now part of Parallels. The best features of Ensim Pro are now built into Plesk and moving forward, Plesk has replaced the Ensim Pro system. Many of our clients still use Ensim Pro, it is still a great control panel. However, unless specificially requested, all new web hosting accounts will be set up on our Plesk server range.

Are banners and ads displayed on my site?

It is common for low cost, cheap and free web hosting service providers to place banners or ads on your website, they use the revenue generated from the displaying or such banners and ads to recoup the cost to provide the service.

The problem with this methodology is that your site will look unprofessional, also you have no control over the types of advertisements shown on your site.

At UK-Cheapest,co.uk, we do not display any banners or advertisements on your site. In fact, we do not meddle with your code at all. What you see is exactly as you uploaded and nothing more.
