Kloxo-MR is an open source server control panel that can be used to create and manage virtual hosts on Redhat/CentOS 5, 6 and 7 systems. As can be seen from the name, Kloxo-MR is improved based on Kloxo, but Kloxo-MR has poor performance. A lot of improvements have been made to it as well as its functions, making it easier to use.

WDCP is a well-established domestic server control panel. I have used WDCP before when building a website. The overall feeling is that WDCP is easy to install and the control panel has powerful backend functions. It is especially suitable for use in an Apache environment. But the reason why it was abandoned later was that WDCP had not been updated for a long time and loopholes appeared frequently, which made people worried.

If you are with a hosting provider that uses WHMCS+VPS management platform architecture like Classic VPS, then you need to upgrade the entire VPS hosting package yourself to expand the hard drive. However, if you purchase a VPS host from a cloud host provider such as Linode, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, etc., then when the hard drive is full, it supports independent expansion of the hard drive.

I have always been concerned about the "weak" search function that comes with WordPress. The search results are not very relevant and the results are not accurate enough. Moreover, the search function that comes with WordPress cannot search tags, categories, and other content. The search results can be listed in chronological order. Sometimes it is really troublesome to find things.

WHMCS is a very powerful financial management system. Since I used WHMCS to connect SolusVM when building its cloud host, I found that I encountered many problems when using WHMCS. The first problem is that WHMCS switches to SMTP for sending letters. By default, you can use PHP of WHMCS to send letters, but most of the letters sent are thrown into the trash by major mail providers.

I have always had a habit of writing "long articles". At the beginning, I wrote blogs like I was writing messages. The articles were short, but I still found it difficult to write and couldn’t find the right sentences to express them. Later, I came up with a "lazy idea" - adding a lot of pictures to the article. Firstly, it can increase the content of the article. Secondly, the article that combines pictures and text will be more interesting to read.

Recently, when Qiufu was maintaining a client's website, the client requested that access from foreign IPs be blocked. According to the logs, most of the attacking IPs came from abroad, and the target users were domestic, so only domestic IPs were allowed to access the website. Can block the vast majority of CC and DDoS attacks. After actual testing, it was found that the effect is still good, and the cost of attacking again has increased a lot.

Independent servers can be bound to multiple IPs, and merchants generally give away 2-5 IP addresses when purchasing independent servers. Independent IP addresses are very beneficial to SEO for multiple sites. Of course, it is a waste to use a dedicated server to build a website. We can virtualize the dedicated server into a VPS host so that more people can use it.

After using WHMCS with Vestacp, I found that Cpanel is indeed no longer needed. In fact, we don’t use many functions to build the website. The virtual host management panel only needs a few basic functions such as binding a domain name, FTP file management, MysqL database management, etc. Although Cpanel is very powerful, many functions are not needed.

Recently, because I launched WHMCS, I suddenly discovered that WHMCS basically realizes most of the online sales tasks of small webmasters. I originally thought of using the WordPress online sales plug-in "Easy Digital Downloads" to create a WP-based virtual item sales platform, but I found that if It's actually easier to use WHMCS.
