Question 1

How to disable ModSecurity in cPanel

Accepted Answer

To protect your sites, we utilize a commercially accessible ruleset on our Web Application Firewall,called ModSecurity.

Mod_security is an Apache module that assists with shielding your site from different threats. It is used to block commonly known exploits by use of regular expressions and rule sets and is enabled on all Cyberin servers by default.

Mod_Security can possibly block common code injection threats which strengthens the security of the server.

We will help to disable the mod_security rules if it's required by your application. When coding a dynamic site, in some cases clients neglect to write code to help prevent hacks by doing things, for example, validating input.

Mod_security can help at times those clients that run the web app that don't have security checks in their code.

On the off chance that you are running Mod_security on your server it will obstruct this from running. Ordinarily, you would see a 406 error for this situation if mod_security is enabled.

You set up rules for Mod_security to check http calls against and check whether a risk is available.

Finding Mod_security is entirely simple. Any site that calls a string prohibited by a mod_security rule will give a 406 error instead to showing the page.

Disable ModSecurity on cPanel:

1- Login to your cPanel and under Security you will get plugin ModSecurity.

2- Click on ModSecurity and you will get option to ON/OFF Mod_security for the domain.

Question 2

How do you create custom name servers

Accepted Answer

Using custom name servers you can use your own domain instead of our ClouDNS.io default values. Let's see how you can configure your own private name servers and use it for your client's website.

1: Create Glue Record (Host Names)

Go to your domain provider's site and find the option for hostname or child name servers for the domain name.

Every domain provider will have their own system, yet what you have to do is find a hostname on your domain DNS setting area and assign an IP address to that hostname for each of the name servers.

A hostname on a domain is the third level name. For example of a host name is ns1, adding this to our WHM you have to enter ns1.yoursite.com to the IP address of the server where this account is located.

You can find the IP details under your Reseller Hosting Welcome Email.

2: Add A records to your DNS Zone

Once you completed the process of registering our 2 custom name servers with your domain registrar, you need to add such IP's to our DNS zone as well. They would be entered as A records into the DNS zone section, make sure you point same IP for A records with correct name servers value.

Ex- ns1 and ns2

3: DNS Propagation

Once you completed the above steps, you should wait at least 12-24 hours to be sure that your DNS changes completely applied and propagated over the Internet.
