Change Password (cPanel)
Overview
You can change the main password to your web hosting account. Before you begin, make sure you have closed all windows that are currently open and associated with your control panel.
/!\ PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD! /!\
Protect Your PasswordDo not write down your password, memorize it. In particular, do not write it down and leave it anywhere, and do not place it in an unencrypted file! Use unrelated passwords for systems controlled by different organizations. Don't give or share your password, in particular to someone claiming to be from computer support or a vendor unless you are sure they are who they say they are. Do not let anyone watch you enter your password. Do not enter your password on a computer you don't trust. Use the password for a limited time and change it periodically.
Choose A Hard-To-Guess Password:Our system will try to prevent you from choosing a really bad password, but it isn't foolproof; create your password wisely. Don't use something you'd find in a dictionary (in any language or jargon). Don't use a name (including that of a spouse, parent, child, pet, fantasy character, famous person, or location) or any variation of your personal or account name. Don't use accessible information about you or your environment, such as your phone number, license plate or social security number. Don't use a birthday or a simple pattern, such as backwards, followed by a digit, or proceeded by a digit. Instead, use a mixture of upper and lower case letters, as well as digits or punctuation. When choosing a new password, make sure it's unrelated to any previous password. Use long passwords (say 8 characters long). You might use a word pair with punctuation inserted, a pass phrase (an understandable sequence of words), or the first letter of each word in a pass phrase.
Changing Your Password
Steps1. Enter your current password in the "Old Password" text box.
2. Enter your new password in the "New Password" text box.
3. Enter your new password in the "New Password (again)" text box.
4. Click on the Change your password now! button. -

Custom error pages
To create a custom error page for your account you will need to upload a file with the appropriate file name to the account.
The will be named according to the HTTP error code the page corresponds to. To create a custom page for 404 errors you would upload a page named 404.shtml. For a 403 error it will be named 403.shtml
The server will automatically recognize the custom error pages for the primary domain name on your account if the file is named with a .shtml extension.
Setting a custom error page from the cpanel or by manually editing the .htaccess file for the root domain will apply that error page for all domains on the account. To create separate custom error pages for an addon or sub-domain you will need to create a .htaccess file in the addon or sub-domains folder with an 'ErrorDocument' command. The format for the command is:
ErrorDocument *Error Code* http://domain/page
^Be sure you replace *Error Code* with the specific error code you are referring to. For example if you are creating a 404 page you will need to replace *Error Code* with just 404For an addon or subdomain the error page path must be a fully qualified URL.
You can use the ErrorDocument command to redirect page errors to a file name with an extension other than .shtm

How to connect to the MySQL server remotely
To make a remote connection to the server you must add the IP address of the server you are trying to conenct from to the list of 'access hosts' on the 'MySQL databases' page of the account cpanel.
Once you have added the IP address you will need to re-add the users to the databases to ensure the correct access permissions are applied.
To connect to the server you would use the account domain name or IP address as the hostname and the database user name and password that you created on the 'MySQL database' page of the cpanel.
