A content delivery network (CDN) is a network of servers that deliver content. The purpose of the CDN is to cache and more quickly serve static content based on the geographical location between the origin server (the server your site is hosted on) and the user making the request. This means when someone in Japan visits your website hosted in the United States, it will load just as fast as a website hosted in Japan.
Not all CDNs are the same, some have a zone URL and others have a custom URL. The difference between them can be seen when viewing the source code for your page
Whether you’re using a zone URL CDN or a custom URL CDN to cache the static elements of your website, a CDN can your click-through rates since slow loading websites are often abandoned before they load.

“Hacked” is a term you hear thrown around a lot — especially regarding websites — without much definition.
If your website is hacked, it means a few things:
Someone gained access to your account (typically via File Transfer Protocol, a.k.a. FTP). By gaining FTP access, hackers can insert their own code on your site.
After gaining access to your site, they put malicious code in it. What the code does depends on the hacker’s objectives.
Because hacking can be extra insidious, sometimes your site can get hacked without you ever realizing it. Other times, hackers will be incredibly ham-fisted and either bring down your site or replace it with an obscene message.
Among the other unpleasant things hackers do to sites:
Install viruses on visitor’s computers
Redirect visitors to other sites
Use your website to attack other websites, bringing them down
Now, unfortunately, there’s no LoJack® for a hijacked website, but there are a few things you can do to make sure you don’t fall victim to a hacker:
Have your site scanned regularly. A lot of companies offer tools that will go through your site looking for malicious/suspicious-looking code or activity.
Update your website’s software. If you use something like WordPress®, keeping your software up-to-date is the difference between your site running smoothly and having a site infested with malware
By being aware of the threat of hackers and taking a few precautions, you can stop your site from harming visitors and other sites around the Internet.
You can create databases on your hosting account for your websites to use. The types of databases depend on which type of hosting you have
You can create a read-only database user to allow a third party to browse the data in a database, to use for your reporting tools, or to ensure that your scripts are not writing to the database.
NOTE: You cannot add a read-only database user to an already-created database. This feature is only for new databases.
In the Read-Only User Name field, enter a user name.
Create a password for the read-only user and confirm it.
(Optional) Specify to Allow Direct Database Access. Specifying this option allows the read-only user to use tools such as MySQL Query Browser or Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express to browse the database.
NOTE: If you don’t see the Allow Direct Database Access option, contact customer support. If you are not sure what Direct Database Access is, see Connect remotely to databases
Click OK.
To browse the data on the database, a read-only user has to connect using third-party tools such as MySQL Query Browser or Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
If you registered domains somewhere else, but you’re hosting your website with us, you can connect your domain name to your website by pointing your domain name to your website’s IP address.

This will not change your domain name’s email service to LuckyRegister . If you plan on using LuckyRegister for your email, we recommend using your website’s nameservers instead of its IP address.
How you find your website’s IP address depends on which product you’re using for your website:
Quick Content does not support using IP addresses; instead use its nameservers
Changing the IP address for .COM and .NET domains can take 4-8 hours to display on the internet. All other types of domains can take up to 48 hours.

Things to look for:
If you see First Byte is slow (longer than 1 second), it indicates slowness at the server itself. This could be because of your site’s program code or plugins.
If you see a high number of Requests (more than 100), then your site requires the browser to make a lot of connections to display your site’s content. Try to display less content from third-party sites, combine JavaScript and CSS files, use CSS sprites, and enable caching headers to make the browser do less work.
If you see a high number of Bytes in (more than 1,000 KB), then your site requires the browser to download a lot of files before it can display your site’s content.
If you have a Shared Web Hosting account with one or more databases, you may receive an email indicating the server hosting the database has or will change. The change is a necessary part of our continuing effort to improve product quality. Once all of your databases are upgraded, not only will your account be hosted on the most advanced servers available for your type of account, you will be able to take advantage of new product features.

The email will contain information needed to ensure that your site’s applications continue to be able to connect to the database after it moves.
The information in this article contains best practices for configuring your database applications. So the information applies even if you have not received an email indicating your database is moving. Following these practices will help ensure any future upgrades are as seamless as possible.
When your site’s applications connect to the database they must provide credentials and identifying information for the database. The usual practice is to format this information into a database connection string.
The credentials are the username and password you selected when creating the database. The identifying information consists of the database name you selected and an address for the database server that hosts thedatabase. Typically the database server address is the value of a CNAME, or canonical name record that resolves to the IP address of the database server. A database name contains letters and possibly numbers. For example the server name will be similar to mysql123456.secureserver.net orHostedDB1.db.1234567.hostedresource.com.
Whereas the IP address of the database server contains only numbers and will be similar to 10.10.20.30.
To ensure the move is as seamless as possible, it is critical that your application code uses the name of thedatabase server to connect to the database. If the IP address of the server is used, the application will fail to connect to the database after it has moved.
If your application uses the IP address, modify the database connection string to contain the database server name. If you received an email indicating the database server name is changing, the database server name is included in the email. This update must be completed within the time frame indicated in the email to avoid loss ofdatabase connectivity on your site.
If you did not receive an email about the database server name changing, you can find the database server name for all of your databases in the Hosting Control Panel and database administration tools.
The method for determining the value your site’s application uses to address the database server depends on the application. If you have the source code for the application you can examine it to locate where it obtains the address and verify it uses the server name. If you don’t have the source code for the application you can review the documentation or contact the vendor to determine where the address is stored and verify the server name is used.
If your database was set up with a DSN and your applications use the DSN, the DSN already contains the correct server name. No action is required on your part to update site code that uses DSNs.
If your database is an Access database, no action is required on your part to update site code that uses an Accessdatabase.
If you have installed applications from Value Applications then, the application already uses the server name to connect to the database. If you received an email indicating the server name changed or would like to verify the connection string contains the correct server name, the location of the connection strings for the Value Applications applications are described in What are the connection strings for my application’s database?.
