The risks of using the EOL Magento 1 are the following: security loopholes, outdated features, PCI compliance, and limited support. Migrating to Magento 2 has many benefits, such as enhanced security, improved performance, advanced features, and extensive community support.

HTTP 304 Not Modified Error: What is it and how to fix it

March 17, 2025 by Jeff Wilson

This blog post will explain everything about the HTTP 304 status code. HTTP 304 Not Modified is a status code that indicates that the server has found no changes in the requested page since the last visit. When the URL is entered in the browser, it sends an If-Modified-Since request header to the webserver to determine when the web page was last modified. Then, the Last-Modified response header specifies the time, and if there has been no change, the server will send the HTTP 304 response code. The HTTP 304 status code can be on the server or client page.

In the following paragraphs, we will explain the possible solutions if you face this as the server owner or as a client trying to access a website. Let’s get started!

CPU Load: Everything You Need To Know to Manage it

March 12, 2025 by Jeff Wilson

This post explains CPU load, how it affects your Linux server, and how to deal with it in critical moments. We think about high CPU usage and CPU load when discussing essential moments. These are two different things, even though they sound similar. Besides this, we will explain the CPU as the most critical part of a server. What causes high CPU utilization, different commands to check the CPU utilization, and some suggestions to prevent high usage

In other words, how to manage your CPU resources rationally so your hosted websites are free of issues. Let’s get started!

429 Too Many Requests Error: What is it and how to fix it

March 10, 2025 by Jeff Wilson

This blog post will explain everything about the 429 Too Many Requests Error. From how it can occur, the reason for that, and the possible fixes. The “429 too many requests” is an HTTP response. It comes from the server when too many consecutive requests are sent to the server quickly. The server tells you “to stop sending requests” for a while and try again later. In this case, the client exceeded the rate limit set on a server level. The server must have these limits to prevent overload and unnecessary downtime.

The following paragraphs will explain the 429 Too Many Requests error and all the required steps for fixing it. Let’s get started!

What is a Loopback Address and How Does it Work?

March 5, 2025 by Jeff Wilson

You’ve very possibly heard in online tutorials or your IT friend mentioning “loopback address” when they’re solving network problems or showing you how to set up a website. But what exactly is it, and why should you care? Let’s break it down in plain, non-technical English.

ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED and How To Fix It?

March 3, 2025 by Jeff Wilson

You know how frustrating it can be if you’ve ever encountered the ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error while browsing. This error typically means that your browser cannot resolve the domain name into an IP address, preventing you from accessing a website. Computers have IP addresses assigned to communicate with other computers on the network. As IP addresses can be challenging to memorize, we often turn to easy-to-remember domain names to reach specific computers on a network. The Domain Name System (DNS) acts as a digital phone book with names correlating to domain names and phone numbers translating to IP addresses. A DNS shows which domain points to which IP address to reach that particular server.

How to Create and Use .htpasswd

March 19, 2025February 26, 2025 by Jeff Wilson

A .htpasswd file typically creates and updates stored usernames and passwords for HTTP users using HTTP authentication. You must create a .htpasswd file to secure the website’s content, whether the primary URL or some subdirectory. Only authorized users will be able to access the website’s source. The username and password in the file are inline, separated by a colon. The username is stored in plain text, and the password is hashed, usually with MD5 encryption.

The .htpasswd is in the .htaccess file in the website’s document root. The .htaccess file is a configuration file used by Apache-based web servers. Many possibilities exist with the .htaccess file, and one of them is including the .htpasswd file.

In this post, we will use already installed WordPress with the LAMP stack on Ubuntu 24.04 OS to configure HTTP authentication with the .htpasswd file. Creating and configuring it is straightforward and may take around 5 minutes. Let’s get started!

What is virtualization and how does it benefit your server?

February 24, 2025 by Jeff Wilson

What is virtualization, and how does it benefit your server? In computing, virtualization divides physical computer resources into individual virtual machines called virtual private servers (VPS). Server virtualization masks server resources from server users into individual virtual private servers with their own operating system. Servers get isolated from the OS of the other servers hosted on the master physical machine known as the host. So, what is virtualization? In simple terms, virtualization is a process that partitions one big server into multiple smaller servers.
