SPF Protection ensures your Internet privacy!

The Bhutan Web Hosting Control Panel has been equipped with another tool, designed to give you more control over your domain’s sender policy.

SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework, and is an extension of SMTP that stops e-mail spammers from forging the “From” fields in an e-mail. As SMTP itself does not carry an authenticating mechanism, the SPF extension provides the authentication scheme by specifying which computers are authorized to send email from a specific domain. In order to use SPF, the domain sending e-mails must establish an SPF record that is published in the DNS records.

When the e-mail passes through the DNS server, it is compared to the SPF record for that domain to determine if the sender is indeed authorized to transmit e-mails from that sender’s address. If the e-mail comes from a domain that is not authorized, the DNS server will not forward the e-mail to the expected destination.

Please note that these settings are for advanced users only!

For more detailed information, you may check the Show/Hide Help in the SPF section itself.

Allowed CPU usage has been increased!

Our constant efforts continue with the improvements of the Bhutan Web Hosting services that we offer. The allowed CPU usage of each and every hosting account has been vastly increased.

The CPU usage stands for the average server load generated by your scripts during a specific time period – an hour, an entire day or a whole month, and is estimated by comparing your CPU time to the total CPU time (100%), which is assumed to be 34560 seconds.

You should often check this value in order to comply with the maximum allowed CPU usage for your particular account type.

The allowed CPU usage has been increased from 3% to 4.5%. We believe that the new value will give you more freedom when you host high CPU consuming applications such as blogs, forums, cms etc. However, you should always check if there are any new versions or security updates for your applications. Usually, the new versions are more optimized than the old ones in terms of resource usage.
