The URL are receiving the error "Server connection timed out".
What is happening?
Most likely, your external IP address was blocked by our Firewall
Firewalls are a set of devices designed to protect networks from unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communications to pass.
Due to security reasons, we have installed Firewall on all PHP-Fusion Servers.
If you find yourself not being able to connect to the website, cPanel and webmail from a certain computer, most likely you have triggered the Firewall rules
Please contact our Support with your IP number and we will gladly unlock your IP.
What can be the reason of the IP being blocked and how to avoid it?
Failed cPanel login
When you were not able to login to cPanel from the first time, please do not try to do it as many times as possible.
Once you have used the incorrect login details 8 times within 300 seconds, the IP will be blocked. To avoid that, please check your login details associated with your hosting package.
Failed FTP/SSH login
Please make sure your FTP client is using correct login details and appropriate settings. You may check them through cPanel under FTP accounts, User Settings.
Failed web page login
It can occur when there is an authentication form or a protected directory on the website. Please make sure to use correct login data.
PortScan activity
Port scan is an attack that sends client requests to a range of server port addresses on a host, with the goal of finding an active port and exploiting a known vulnerability of that service. To avoid that, please make sure your clients are set without permanent tries to scan server's ports.
Reduce timeout intervals on all FTP and mail clients in your network. If there are many users in your network, and all of them are accessing the Internet from external IP address, make sure they do not reconnect with FTP or mail clients frequently.
Connection requests coming from one IP can trigger the firewall to block the IP.
First of all, you will need to change the DNS servers to PHP-Fusion DNS Servers.
eu1.phpfusion.com ( EU 1 )
eu2.phpfusion.com ( EU 2 )
Now you may add the new name as an Addon Domain at cPanel.
To do this, do the following:
Login to your cPanel and go to the section > Domains > Addon Domains.
Fill out the fields with necessary information (Subdomain/Ftp Username and Document Root fields will be filled out automatically)
Click on the Add Domain button.
You can now go ahead and upload content for your new domain into the corresponding document root either with the File Manager or FTP.
NOTE : Please see Transfer Page about moving your domain here.
What is a Parked Domain? How to Create and Delete One
Parked domains are often used to have more than one web address for SEO and marketing purposes. Parked domains are "Addon" Domain Names but that display the same website as your primary domain and share web statistics as well. Although you can give the parked domain its own email boxes
Example being if your main domain name is php-fusion.co.uk and it is the primary domain of your cPanel account, you can set up a domain such as demos.php-fusion.co.uk as a parked domain. This will load the content of php-fusion.co.uk when you visit demos.php-fusion.co.uk.
You will notice that although the content of php-fusion.co.uk is loading in the browser, the address bar will display demos.php-fusion.co.uk..
This is similar to a masked forward.
Domain Parking vs Parked Domains
When Domain Name Registrars offer "Domain Parking", they are offering to park your Domain Name on their Servers and normally direct traffic to a page of their choice. This is a good temporary solution if you do not have a website hosting account, but it is very restrictive.
Can I point parked domain to specific folder?
Parked Domains can be pointed to your main site /public_html folder only.
If you want to point your domain to a specific subfolder in your account, you have to use Addon domain or Aliases option.
Add a Parked Domain
Domains must be registered with a valid registrar before they can be parked. In addition, a domain will not be functional unless it is configured to point to the same name servers as your primary domain
To add a parked domain to your account,
Log into cPanel.
In the Domains section, click the Parked Domains or Aliases icon.
Under Create a Aliases Domain, enter the domain name you would like to park on top of your primary domain.
Click Add Domain.
You have just added a parked domain.
Remove a Parked Domain
To remove a parked domain from your account
Log into cPanel.
In the Domains section, click the Parked Domains or Aliases icon.
Under Remove Parked Domains, find the domain you wish to remove.
In the Actions column for that domain, click Remove.
A subdomain is a "subsection" of your website that can exist as a subdirectory of your /public_html/ (document root) directory or your home directory.
Subdomains use a prefix in conjunction with the domain name.
If the registered domain name is php-fusion.co.uk, with the desired subdomain of "domain" would look like: domain.php-fusion.co.uk
This type of Domain or subdomain works just as a separate Domain.
Even the Search Engines treat these as completely different domain names.
You can also use subdomains to create unique user account or for a specific subject.
This is useful if you have a blog, or any other type of website that uses a domain specifically titled for a user or subject.
How to create subdomain in cPanel?
Subdomains can point to different sections of your website.
In order to create a subdomain in your cPanel account, follow the next steps.
Log in your cPanel,
Navigate to the menu "Subdomains" under the "Domains" section.
Enter the following details for your subdomain:
Subdomain: the name of your wanted subdomain
Choose the domain you need to create a subdomain for from the drop-down menu selection.
Document Root: the root directory for your subdomain ( for example, it can be /public_html/subdomain )
Click Create.
Creating a Redirect for your Website in cPanel is fairly easy.
First log in to your cPanel,
Next navigate to the "Domains" section and click on "Redirects" option:
Choose the type of redirect you would like to use for your domain
Permanent (301) – this redirect will update the visitors bookmarks and direct search engines to the new site.
Temporary (302) – it will redirect the visitor or search engine, but will not update the bookmark and the search engine will continue to index to the original page.
Note: 301 redirects are permanent. They mean that the page has moved, and they request any search engine or user agent coming to the page to update the URL in their database.
This is the most common type of redirect that people should use.
If you set up 302 redirects, Google and other sites that determine popularity ratings assume that the link is eventually going to be removed.
After all, it's a temporary redirect. So the new page doesn't have any of the link popularity associated with the old page.
It has to generate that popularity on its own.
Choose the domain name you would like to redirect, from a drop-down selection.
If you want to redirect a single page or directory, you can use the text field following the drop-down menu and enter the name of the folder or file.
Now Enter the full URL of the page your domain will be redirecting to in the "redirects to ->" field.
NOTE: You need to enter the protocol as well, e.g. http://, https://
Next Select if you want your domain to redirect with www. or not
"Only redirect with www." : the redirect will work if only visitors are using www. as a part of the URL
"Redirect with or without www." : the redirect will work regardless of using www. as a part of URL or not
"Do Not Redirect www." : the redirect will not work if visitors are using www. as a part of URL
Check-mark "Wild Card Redirect" if you would like all files in the current directory to be redirected to the same files names in the new directory.:
Example: if example.com redirects to example-test.com then:
with "Wild Card Redirect" - example.com/test/ redirects to example-test.com/test/
without "Wild Card Redirect" - example.com/test/ redirects to example-test.com
Click on the "Add" button in order to create the redirect.
Navigate to the "Domains" section and click on "Advanced DNS Zone Editor" option.
You can choose the domain you would like to edit from the selection with Manage or directly use A Record, CNAME Record and MX Record.
A-Record
If you would like to add a new record, navigate to "+A Record":
(An A record (Address Record) points a domain or subdomain to an IP address).
"Name" must be a domain with an optional period at the end.
"TTL" must be a positive integer (in seconds).
"Address" must be an IP-address.
Once all the fields are filled click on "Add an A Record" button.
CNAME Record
If you would like to add a new record, navigate to "+CNAME Record":
(A CNAME (Canonical Name) points one domain or subdomain to another domain name, allowing you to update one A-Record each time you make a change, regardless of how many Host Records need to resolve to that IP address)
Once all the fields are filled click on "Add an CNAME Record" button.
MX Record
If you would like to add a new record, navigate to "+MX Record":
Mail Exchange (MX) records are DNS records that are necessary for delivering email to your address.
In simple DNS terms, an MX record is used to tell the world which mail servers accept incoming mail for your domain and where emails sent to your domain should be routed to. If your MX records are not pointed to the correct location, you will not receive email.
Priority must be 1-10.
Destination Example mail.mydomain.com
Once all the fields are filled click on "Add an MX Record" button.
To edit existing record, please perform following steps
Log in to your cPanel.
Navigate to the "Domains" section and click on "Zone Editor".
Click Manage on a domain of your selection in the list.
Here it is easy to edit or delete current values. The list displayed are the default zones we always add to all domains.
Custom error pages can be created from cPanel.
After logging into cPanel go to Advanced -> Error pages
A nice example of a "404 - Not Found Page" can be seen here,
To customize the error page first choose the domain in the drop-list then select the error page number (400, 401, 403, 404, 500) or the error page name (Bad Request, Authorization required, etc).
Once you create the pages you should make sure your .htaccess file in the public_html directory contains one of the lines below
For custom 404 error page: "ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml"
For custom 500 error page: "ErrorDocument 500 /500.shtml"
If not you may have to create your own ".htaccess" file
Error Pages consists of the following five types of common error pages,
Error - 400 Bad Request
Error - 401 Authorization Required
Error - 403 Forbidden
Error - 404 Wrong Page
Error - 500 Internal Server Error
When the page loads the following tags can be put into your error page
Referring URL - Displays the url of the web site the visitor was previously viewing
Visitor's IP Address - Displays the IP address of the visitor viewing the error page
Requested URL - Displays the intended url the visitor is trying to view
Server name - Displays the web site's server name
Visitor's browser - Displays the visitor's browser type such as IE, FireFox, Netscape, etc
Redirect Status Code - This displays the type of code in the 300-307 range
Choose the desired tags and press 'Save' button. Your Error Page is ready

Your Inbox gets many "Failed delivery" bounce backs of the emails you never sent.
In the first case, recipient Email Server will look up SPF records for your Domain Name and if it is not added or does not match actual outgoing server IP address, such a mail delivery will fail. Such checking mechanism is done in order to make sure email comes from a legitimate sender and a verified sender.
Second situation takes place when there is no SPF - DKIM records configured for your domain name or they are configured incorrectly, which lets unauthorized party to forge emails using @yourdomain.com mailbox. Such cases are called Email Spoofing.

In order to enable follow these instructions
Click on Enable and the records will be added to the DNS zone of all hosted domains automatically:
Right after enabling you may see a warning about authoritative Name Servers
It may take some time for the records to propagate and refresh the page afterwards. The warnings will eventually go away and DNS checks will be passed.
SPF record
The vast majority of spam emails have fake "Spoofed" data in the "From" field. Spammers and fraudsters use special tools to send their mail on behalf of a real owner of the e-mail address
SPF record "Sender Policy Framework" is a very effective and simple method which lets you avoid these issues. If your domain name has correct SPF record then it will be very difficult to send fake Emails on behalf of your Domain
The main concept of SPF records is that an owner of a Domain Name publishes the information about IP addresses that are authorized to send mail from that Domain. The receiving Email Server compares the information in the envelope sender address with the information published by the Domain Name owner. If these details match then e-mail is then delivered
NOTE 1
SPF records has its own specific syntax. It is strongly recommended to familiarize yourself SPF record syntax documentation if you are going to customize the records manually.
NOTE 2
SPF records are added to your Domain Name DNS zone as TXT record. There are cases when you need to add a second TXT record to verify your domain name ownership for some Services. It is not recommended to modify existing SPF records, it is better to add a new one instead
DKIM Record
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is another way of Email Authentication. This method uses information about Domain Names which is published by the Domain owner. This information allows receiving email Servers to verify if the Email was sent by a legal owner of that Domain
Once TXT record which contains DKIM has been added to the DNS zone file a special code is added to the headers of outgoing Emails. Receiving email Servers compare these headers with the information in DNS zone files and if it matches then the Email is delivered
DomainKeys(DK) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) are different Records
DomainKeys(DK) are not available on our shared servers as DK implementation was converted to DKIM and extended in a number of ways as of cPanel 11.32 and later releases
Some of the differences between DomainKeys and DKIM include
Multiple signature algorithms (as opposed to just one available with DomainKeys)
More options with regard to canonicalization that can validates both header and body
Ability to delegate signing to third parties
Ability for DKIM to self-sign the DKIM-Signature header field and to protect against its being modified
Ability for wildcard option on some parameters
Ability to support signature timeouts in DNS
These simple actions will let you be sure that no one is able to send spam on your behalf and your e-mail will not be delivered to spam folders
Although our Hosting packages have a firewall installed to detect potentially malicious behavior and automatically blocks those IP addresses. Sometimes you will only want to stop someone or stop their IP address from accessing your website which is most often done using .htaccess file.
cPanel also has a IP blocking feature to help create these rules for you.
How to Block an IP Address or Address Range
Login to your cPanel
Under section "Security" click on the IP Blocker icon.
Next enter the IP address or address range in the box and click Add
You should then see a confirmation screen like this:
You should now see the newly-added IP or range in the "Currently-Blocked" list:
If desired you can check your Websites .htaccess" file and see that the block was added
How to Unblock an IP Address or Address Range
This only works if cPanel's IP Blocker is how the IP was blocked in the first place, Otherwise the unblocking will need to be done another way.
Look in the list for the IP address or address range you would like to unblock, and click the Delete button in that row:
.bash_history (root of user's directory)
Access_log records all requests processed by server
/usr/local/apache/logs/access_log
Error_log Apache errors and CGI debug info
/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
Exim_mainlog Anytime message received or delivered
/var/log/exim_mainlog
Exim_rejectlog message rejected based on ACLs or other
/var/log/exim_rejectlog
Exim_paniclog all “other” entries (should be empty)
/var/log/exim_paniclog
Cron all cron processes that get run on the server
/var/log/cron
Messages ftp and other system logs
/var/log/messages
Ddomain logs Access logs for individual domains
/usr/local/apache/domlogs/
Maillog all pop/imap login/out and spamassassin
/var/log/maillog
Ftpxferlog history of transactions made by FTP
/usr/local/apache/domlogs/
(rotates out to /var/log/)
cPanel Logs also can be found in local folders for each user's account. Some other root-level cPanel logs are:
access_log /usr/local/cpanel/logs/ request URI information
login_log /usr/local/cpanel/logs/ shows failed login messages
error_log /usr/local/cpanel/logs/ general cpanel errors
license_log /usr/local/cpanel/logs/ shows license updates/authentication
stats_log /usr/local/cpanel/logs/ shows when stats completed for user
(Awstats, Webalizer, Analog)
chkservd.log /var/log/ failed services show [-] complete [+]
TAILING ERROR LOGS
tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log | grep [[IP Address of Account]]
This main domain can only be changed by raising a Support Ticket.
When you submit your support Ticket you'll need to specify
the cPanel account username
the existing domain name
the new domain name you wish to use.
The cPanel username itself (your cpanel username) will NOT change.
Remember to make sure the new domain's nameservers are set to PHPFusion otherwise you won't be able to control the new domain's DNS records via your cPanel account.
Things to bear in mind
The domain must not already be assigned to a PHPFusion cPanel account
Because we operate a central DNS system, it is not possible for us to host the same domain twice on our network.
Therefore if the new domain name is the primary domain for another cPanel account, or it is parked or added-on to an existing cPanel account, then you will have to remove it before we can complete your request.
All existing mailboxes will be renamed following these rules ,
All existing user@oldprimary.com mailboxes for which there was not already a user@newprimary.com will be renamed to user@newprimary.com
e.g. if you have chan@oldprimary.com and you DON'T have chan@newprimary.com, then after the change, all of the messages and folders in chan@oldprimary.com will now be in chan@newprimary.com
All existing user@oldprimary.com mailboxes for which there WAS already a user@newprimary.com will be REPLACED by the mailbox for user@newprimary.com
e.g. if you have chan@oldprimary.com AND chan@newdomain.com, then after the change you will find that chan@newdomain.com will contain the same content as it did when it was still a parked/addon domain.
You will lose the email from the old domain mailbox.
