Scripting

Hosting Controller Linux allows you to o?er and use two of the most powerful scripting languages available on the Internet. The available languages are:

1. PHP
2. Perl

To view/modify scripting related details, click Scripting.

PHP: A widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. PHP is a recursive acronym for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor.

Perl: Perl is a high-level programming language with an eclectic heritage originally written by Larry Wall. It’s process, ?le, and text manipulation facilities make it particularly well-suited for tasks involving quick prototyping, system utilities, software tools, system management tasks, database access, graphical programming, networking, and world wide web programming. Perl may stand for PERL or Practical Extraction and Report Language.

Status: You can enable or disable scripting for each Website that you have. This gives you maximum control over what each client can or cannot do, and you can change these settings quickly and easily.

HTTP Redirect

HTTP redirect allows clients requests to be redirected to new URL. To view/modify HTTP redirection details, click HTTP Redirect.

Destination URL: It is the new URL client requests will be redirected to.

Default Document: It tells the web server how to behave when it receives a request for site that does not mention a specific page. For example, when a web server receives a request for http://mycompany.com, its display can be automatically set to a document titled as default.htm, followed in order by default.asp, default.html etc., or any other name or type of file as required.

ACL Permissions: An access control list (ACL) tells a computer operating system which access rights each user has to a particular system object, such as a file directory or individual file. This can range from allowing anyone change or delete a folder, right through to only allowing one user view a specific file.

Parked Domains

Parked domains refer to other domain names pointing to your main domain. All these other domain names serve the same content i.e. the web content of your primary domain. For example if you have a primary domain mycompany.com and you want to access the same domain with abc.com and xyz.com then both these additional domains are parked domains and both of them serve the webpages of your primary website. HC creates independent DNS zones for each of the parked domains. To view/modify parked domains related details, click Parked Domains.

Adding Host Headers allow you to map multiple websites with the same port number to a single IP address. To view/modify host headers related details, click Host Headers.
