| | Hello,
I don't know if this has been suggested before or not, but I think that my Cpanel Username shouldn't be shown on my profile. This is potential problem; anyone that knows my site may visit this forum, access my profile and therefore get my cpanel username [duh]. I know, there is the password, but knowing the username a potential hacker would only need to find the pasword.
Thanks  |

Please search the forums before you make or ask a question. I am repeating again, your forum username is visible only to you and we are very well about the security issues :-) Thanks.

Can anyone confirm this? [Just access any profile]

I can see your cPanel username in your profile. However, I don't think this is really a huge problem. Most often, a users cPanel username reflects either their web site name or forum name. It isn't exactly highly confidential information - provided you have a strong password, no one is going to be able to access your account. The only way anyone can 'break in' is via repeatedly trying to access the server with your user name and a password (either generated or from a list). Such activity should be picked up and delt with, and it is unlikely you will be at all affected.

Hiya, I have to admit this problem might have been caused by me because of a premature refresh

Server Status Link Without Loggin Into Cpanel

Is there a link page in Trap17.com or in Xisto.com to check the server status without logging in?
I'd need that to make a shortcut link from my homepage and probably in my signature to check the
server status on the spot and it'd save me time from logging into cPanel. Also, if the server
is down, cPanel would probably be down as well. Hence there's no other ways that I know of that
is able to check for server status. So is there an alternative way or link to that for public use?...
