Change Hosting Account’s Directory Settings

Directory Protection is designed to prevent changes to your hosting account’s root directory. When enabled, you will be protected against accidental deletions on your main directories.

Enable HTTP(s) Outbound Connections

Due to security reasons, the outgoing connections for all customer accounts are disabled by default. This means your scripts, hosted on our servers, will not be able to communicate with external hosts.

To enable them, click on the Enable button. This will allow you to establish a connection on ports 80, 443 and 3306.

Note: HTTP outgoing connections are a feature available only on our premium hosting plans.

 

Quick Access to the Zacky Installer Software

The section below offers quick access to our script installer page and available applications. To find out which software are supported on your web hosting server, click on the here link.
