  A note about passwords

  
  When it comes to passwords, they can only protect your website when they are strong. This means that passwords must adhere to the following criteria.
  
  1. Use twelve digit alpha-numeric combinations- something like: JK,y=y u%TyG3 or similar non-words. Absolutely NEVER use the above “example” password. Update your password in all “Applications” includes and is not limited to:
  - Cpanel
  - email accounts
  - any CMS applications you are using like WordPress, Joomla or Soholaunch etc
  - Your sub-user accounts in any CMS you have installed and who have password access should also be updated.
  2. Have a different and unique password for each application as when hackers can crack one –all other logins with same or even similar passwords will be vulnerable
  3. For security everyone is reminded to be careful about who they share their passwords with and how they share the passwords. Using a password in email is NOT at all recommended. Whenever sending a password via email, consider transmitting it as an image instead of via text.
  4. Regularly Changed. By periodically updating your passwords, you lessen the chance that a leaked password can be used to gain access to your website.

Note: The above option will work for the main cPanel account only, not for additional FTP accounts created from cPanel.

Additional FTP accounts – Using Plain FTP

If you have any other FTP connections ( eg addon domain or other FTP accounts) use the following method.

• Launch FileZilla
• Go to File >> Site Manager
• Press Button “New Site”
• Host: SERVERNAME.oceania.com.au ( Use the “servername” as shown in cpanel)      Port: blank
• FTP – File Transfer Protocol
• Encryption: Only use plain FTP (insecure)
• Logon Type: Normal
• User: Your cpanel username
• Password: Your cpanel password
