LMS New Feature: Email Form
LockMyStuff.com has been updated to version 1.1.0, which introduced an email feature that allows you to email your encrypted text. When you have encrypted your text, you'll see a link to show the email form. You can send the encrypted text (or link if it is stored), along with an optional message. You can also choose to include the encryption key. This feature makes it easier to send your encrypted messages.
Strong Passwords
Passwords are the most common way to restrict access to user or administrator accounts online. This means that a security system is only as strong as it's password, so a good password is essential if you want to keep motivated individuals out.
A strong password consists of letters (both cases), numbers, and other symbols. The strongest passwords have all of these in a random combination. The weakest passwords are ones that follow patterns, or worse, use words found in the dictionary.
The strongest passwords tend to be computer generated, and a great place to find strong passwords is at GRC's Ultra High Security Password Generator.
ISPConfig – Open Source Web Hosting Panel
ISPConfig is an Open Source software package for managing shared web hosting. It is a free alternative to software like Plesk and CPanel, and supports all major Linux distributions (no Windows support). It provides a web-based control panel interface for managing all the hosting services including the Web, FTP, DNS, and mail servers. This basically eliminates the need to know how it all works (though it doesn't hurt to know).
Installation is completely automated, and takes only a few minutes if you are installing on a clean system. Keep in mind, however, that troubleshooting can be difficult if something goes wrong. Paid installation service is also available.
If you are looking for an alternative to expensive hosting control panels, this is it. You may also be interested to know that this website (and others hosted at UltraMega) is managed using this software. It really makes things much easier.
