When administering your server you login to WHM and click List Accounts and scroll to find the website you’re looking to modify…. but it isn’t there.
Whoop! Whoop! Someone alert the internet police! Wait, hold on a second… the website is still functioning fine http/ ftp / mysql wise. It just isn’t in the list [...]
*swings legs* bom-bom-bom-da-bom…
I’ve just returned from a trip to New York, New York *waves arms in air, swings legs* and thanks to the joy that is the internet, and expedia.co.uk, we managed to bag ourself a cosy little hotel on the Upper West Side ( 77th / Broadway ) . I was slightly [...]
OK, so you’re facing a hard decision. You limit outgoing e-mails to 100 / hour, in order to help prevent a spamming disaster occurring. But, you have a domain that sends out a newsletter to hundreds, if not thousands, of members, and batch sending is NOT an option, as it requires too much [...]

Only when I started running servers myself did [...]

If your server time is wrong, simply SSH:
rdate -s rdate.cpanel.net
