In an effort to continually improve security on the servers we have now set all our servers to require TLS Encryption.

Did you know that standard FTP sends your password and usersname through text?

That means anyone with a packet sniffer could easily scoop up your login details and access your account. As that can be detrimental to you and others on the server we feel it is important to close that hole permanently.

I have tested and the current release of FileZilla has no problem with SFTP. If you get any error be sure you upgrade your FTP software to the newest one or download the free FileZilla software and use it.

As most of our customers have come to find out the migration to using Tokens means that the login page has changed and that we now need to use SSL to login. This means that your using 128 bit encryption every time you connect to the server. Is it important? Yes your account and files are important to us because it stops people from maliciously using your account. There are exploits out there that people can use to find your cPanel username and password with the old method of how we use to login and this new way prevents those exploits.

So to connect to cPanel you have to use ssl like this:

https://yourdomains.com:2083

To connect to your webmail:

https://yourdomains.com:2096

If you have a legacy reseller account you have to use:

https://serverIP:2087

Now you will notice when you login that you will get notices that you are connecting to a none secure SSL. The warning are 100% correct we are not using a certificate from a provider instead the servers are using a self signed SSL. Basically it means we are using a free SSL which we can set up on the server to still provide 128 bit encryption w/o an added expenditure which is not required.

To by pass this notice just add an exception and it will not prompt you for it again.

I know this has been a headache for some as is any change but it is one for the better of your site and the server. If you have issue or concerns be sure to open a ticket at our heldpesk.
