Share: Hosting

Hosting is where your website content such as images, videos etc are stored. Most of the websites share a server with others, some require an entire server.

cPanel is a web hosting control panel software developed by cPanel, LLC. It provides a graphical interface (GUI) and automation tools designed to simplify the administration processes of hosting a website. cPanel also has command line and API-based access that allows third-party software vendors, web hosting organisations, and developers to automate standard system administration processes.

Plesk is a web hosting control panel and data center software developed for Linux and Windows-based hosting services. It is developed by Plesk International GmbH. Plesk's user management model is suitable for dedicated and shared hosting, allowing server administrators to set up new websites, reseller accounts, email accounts, as well as edit and create DNS entries through a web-based interface.

A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone else. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organisations have full control over the server, including choice of operating system, hardware, etc.

There is also another level of dedicated or managed hosting commonly referred to as complex managed hosting. Complex Managed Hosting applies to both physical dedicated servers, Hybrid server and virtual servers, with many companies choosing a hybrid (combination of physical and virtual) hosting solution.

A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting service. The virtual dedicated server (VDS) also has a similar meaning. A virtual private server runs its own copy of an operating system (OS), and customers may have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS. For many purposes, they are functionally equivalent to a dedicated physical server, and being software-defined, are able to be much more easily created and configured. They are cheaper than an equivalent physical server. However, as they share the underlying physical hardware with other VPSes, performance may be lower, depending on the workload of any other executing virtual machines.

How-To: Google Authenticator: Guide to Setup, Backup, and Safe Usage

What is Google Authenticator? Google Authenticator is a free security app from Google that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. Instead of just entering a password, you’ll also need to input a time-based code from the app. This extra step greatly reduces the risk of your account being hacked, even if someone knows your password. Unlike SMS codes, which can be intercepted, Google Authenticator works offline and generates unique codes every 30 seconds directly on your device. Why Use Google Authenticator? Stronger security: Protects against password leaks or phishing. Offline usage: Works without mobile data or Wi-Fi. Multi-account support: You can store codes for multiple accounts (Google, Facebook, Instagram, banking apps, etc.). Free and lightweight: No subscription fees, minimal storage needed. How to Set Up Google Authenticator Step 1: Install the App Download Google Authenticator from:  Google Play Store (Android) Apple App Store (iOS) Step 2: Enable 2FA on Your Acco...

Share: A little bit about e-Invoicing (07/07/2025)

With Malaysia's push toward digital tax compliance, e-Invoicing will soon become mandatory for all businesses, big or small. Spearheaded by the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN), this new system aims to improve transparency, reduce fraud, and automate tax reporting. Whether you’re a corporation or a small business owner, understanding how e-Invoicing works is crucial. 🔍 What is E-Invoicing? E-Invoicing is the process of issuing and receiving invoices electronically, using a structured digital format (like JSON or XML) that allows for automatic validation and processing by the tax authority. Unlike PDF or paper invoices, e-Invoices are machine-readable, submitted in real time, and stored digitally with built-in authentication, including QR codes and digital signatures. Once submitted through LHDN’s MyInvois system, the invoice is validated and becomes an official legal document, complete with a timestamp and unique identifier. This system removes the need for paper documentation an...

Share: Morse Code

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes or dits and dahs. Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, an inventor of the telegraph. International Morse Code, also known as Continental Morse Code, encodes the 26 English letters A to Z, some non-English letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns). There is no distinction between upper and lower case letters. Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways: as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, as an audio tone, a radio signal with short and long tones, or as a mechanical, audible, or visual signal e.g. a flashing light  or even a car horn. Some mine rescues have used pulling on a rope, a short pull for a dot and a long pull for a dash. Morse code is transmitted using just two states - on and off. Historians have called it the first digital code. Morse code may be...
