Why you should Ping your Sitemap

By Shane Kinsch

A sitemap is more than just a list of links on your website that makeup the “site” , it’s an easy way for the search engines to get a taste of what your site is about.
.

First, Create your Sitemap

If you need help creating your initial sitemap, there’s a lot of free sitemap generators out there to get you started with your initial XML sitemap.  After you create your sitemap, save it to your website.  Keep in mind, you’ll want to keep your sitemap updated as often as you make changes to your website, then ping the search engines to tell them to look for the update.
.

Tell the Search Engines When you Update your Sitemap

If your website, blog or content management system doesn’t already “ping” the search engines and update your sitemap automatically with your new updates and content, we offer this as a free service to our clients. We generate your website’s sitemap from the outside using our own website ‘crawler’ just like the search engines.  We then save this in an open format where the search engines can interpret and process it. We then tell the search engines with a simple ping, that they should take a look at your sitemap and note any changes.
Keep in mind, like everything else you can do all this yourself but we’ve perfected it and it’s just a basic part of our service.   If you want to do this yourself, the search engines have a special URL for you to go to.

How to Ping Google

Google is definitely the dominant search engine, and you will want to tell the “big G” when you make any updates or changes to your website.  Google also has a sitemap tool in their Google Webmaster tools area.  If you haven’t already created your Google Webmaster account, you should.  There’s a lot of valuable data out there and you can track when they crawl your site and how many of your links are in their index..
The ping url is:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml
You should receive a message stating that your sitemap has been successfully added to their list of sitemaps to crawl.

Where’s Yahoo!?  Well, as of March 2011, they shutdown this service because they’re integrating with Bing, so use the Bing link.

cPanel DDOS attack - Mitigate Slowloris Attacks - mod_qos

Apache mod_evasive Mod_evasive is a module available for the Apache HTTP server that can automatically block attacks by rate-limiting any IP that sends too many requests in a short time. Start by installing the module from WHM’s  EasyApache 4  interface. Select the  Currently Installed Packages  profile, search for  mod_evasive  in the  Apache Modules  section, and then install it. The default settings are good for most servers, but you can tweak them further by editing the configuration file  /etc/apache2/conf.d/300-mod_evasive.conf . You can also whitelist specific IP addresses or classes, so legitimate requests are not blocked. Configure CSF to block attacks While  mod_evasive  works very well, it only protects the Apache webserver. In order to harden other services as well, you can install the free  ConfigServer Security & Firewall  (CSF), which also includes a WHM plugin. As the  root  user, install CSF with these terminal commands: cd /usr/src rm -fv csf.tgz wget https://down

Known Root Password Login to the OMV using the root user and the current password via SSH or Console enter the following command passwd root The new password is now active. Unknown Root Password, but Admin Access to OMV GUI is Available In this scenario we still can help ourselves with the GUI. The method we use is, that we create a cron job for the root user which then resets the password. Navigate to System -> Cron Jobs Press the +Add button UN-tick the enabled box, so that the cronjob does not run automatically. put into the command field the following line, replace newpasswd with your password: echo "root:newpasswd" | chpasswd press okay select the newly created cron job Click the run button. in the opening window click the start button.
