On a cPanel / WHM Server, you can add or change the private nameservers. However, when you setup an account through WHM, it does not show your private nameservers, instead it shows the default nameservers set by your hosting provider.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to have good backup copies of your website. Whether it is for recovery after a major data loss or simply to move your website to another server.
But while having a good backup is important, you must also know what’s in it so that you can restore the [...]

While using a Microsoft Access database to feed a high-traffic website may not be a good idea, it can be very useful to develop a small intranet/extranet application for your business. Lately I’ve got myself a hosting account with Easy CGI, a popular Windows Hosting provider, and tried to query a MS Access database using [...]
