  1. Thanks mdd_shared_user - I did a Google search on comodoca.com, and it did appear to be related to SSL certs. You did say that you weren't familiar with these files, so if anybody else can tell me officially what these are, I would appreciate it. Also, if anybody knows of some quality resources that I can read up on regarding website security (file permissions, file configurations) in regards to having your own website, that would be great! Thanks again, Bill
  2. Hi everybody, I am going through my website directories, and I noticed two odd files in my public_html directory today, and wanted to know if these are required, or somehow generated, and what they might be used for. Here are the two file names: .txt (yes - just a file simply named like an extension - file name is actually ".txt" withouth the double-quotes) - it's contents are just one line of text, which is: comodoca.com i3rvz4c4.htm - it's contents are also just one line of text, which is: HFtK2xdmhC21kA4gsl8v Are these valid files? And if so, what are they for? I have a simple website and blog just for my personal enjoyment, and I've been studying HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, PHP, and SQL as a hobby, but I really need to learn about proper website security. I don't know what the proper files should be in my public_html directory, and what the permissions / owner / group should be, so if anybody has some authoritative websites which can explain this in detail that I could read, I would really appreciate it. If you're curious, my website is at https://www.wlmiii.net, and I have a personal WordPress blog at https://www.wlmiii.net/blog/ (really not even sure if I set that up correctly for WordPress to be honest - should it be https://blog.wlmiii.net/, or ???). So much to read and learning to do, but I really do enjoy it - coding is such a fun hobby of mine! I've been taking some courses on Udemy.com for web development, and I can't seem to get enough of it... :-D I'm definitely a self-help type of person, and don't expect people to do things for me, but sometimes it just becomes so overwhelming to see all of the information out there, and it's nice when somebody can just point me in the right direction to where I can help myself figure out what I need to do by giving me some tips and guidance on what websites are really good to go to for quality information. Anyway, thanks for any responses - I really appreciate it, and take care. Bill
  3. I just wanted to say that MDD Hosting has given me excellent support this past weekend - on a Saturday at midnight even! I couldn't access my website, email, or ftp services (I'm on the shared plan), and put in a ticket Saturday evening, expecting to hear something back the following Monday morning at the earliest. Well, I got a reply within minutes - I couldn't believe it. After going back and forth a few times with Mike, it turns out that the verification form I needed to reply to after setting up my account was in my spam folder, so I had missed it. It was my fault, and Mike was still very nice to me about it and I simply verified my domain registration contact information, and went to bed. All of my services (webpage, email, and ftp) were ready and good to go Sunday morning. Thanks Mike for the help - appreciate it!!! Also, overall, my website, email, and ftp have been pretty much instantaneous and responsive thus far, so I'm very happy with MDD Hosting, and have already recommended them to a friend, who I think is going to sign up with MDD Hosting this weekend, or very soon. Very happy customer, and definitely recommend to anyone looking for an excellent hosting service, Bill Marr
