Q. Can I restart my Apache server for my VPS account without affecting other VPS accounts ?

Ans : Yes, you can restart your Apache server without affecting the other VPS account on the same server. You can restart it by using the graceful restart command.

COMMAND : service httpd graceful

Graceful restart command ensures you that it won’t kill any existing apache processes.

Q. Can I use a php tag in my html page ?

Ans : Yes, you can use php tag within html pages. All you have to do is to embed php with html in apache configuration and add modules which will execute php code in your html pages.

Q. Is there a possibility for downtime of a VPS ?

Ans: Your VPS will be down only if the network is down or if the main node gets rebooted for some reason. Your VPS is not linked with any other VPS on the node or any other server. If it goes down for some reason then that would be due to the load on your vps or something else inside it.

Q. Do you provide shell access with the shared hosting plans?

Ans: We do NOT provide shell access with our shared hosting plans, if you need root SSH access or administrator RDP access you can consider our Virtual Private Servers or Semi-dedicated servers as they allow total control and flexibility.

Q: Do the main Domain Web Pages always have to go directly into the Public_HTML Folder or can they go into a Folder the same way as an Addon Domain?

Ans: They can go into a subfolder provided we make apache configuration changes for your account to change your default user directory.

You may face problems in future due to such customization so it is recommended to stick to public_html only.
