  5. Parked Domain • A Parked domain is the second domain which is meant to point to a primary domain. Let us take an example, both “http://www.xyz.net/” and “http://www.xyz.com/” point to the same website. That is because “xyz.com” is a parked domain for “xyz.net”. • One’s website is made available by it, from another domain name. Parked domains are referred to as aliases in cPanel. • In the context of domains, it is essential to mention the service of web hosting, which makes it possible for websites to be accessible over the Internet. Web hosting is provided by web hosting companies that are often referred to as the “Best Website Hosting Company” or as the “Top Cloud Hosting Company” or as the “Best Windows Hosting Company”.

  7. Passive OS Fingerprinting (p0f) Passive OS Fingerprinting is a service. A visitor’s operating system and other information related to email notifications are reported by it. This information aids in identifying quickly those visitors that trigger alert causing events.

  8. Perl Professional web hoPerl is a programming language that is meant for web applications. Perl applications are usually .pm, .pl and .cgi files. Perl modules might be required by these. Custom code can be written in Perl by third-party developers.

  13. PHP Extension Community Library PECL refers to a repository for C extensions that are meant for use in PHP. To digress, website hosting is a service that is made available by web hosting companies for the purpose of making websites accessible. It enables one to store the files of one’s website on the servers of these companies that are frequently referred to as the “Best Website Hosting Company” or as the “Top Cloud Hosting Company” or as the “Best Windows Hosting Company”.

  14. PHP FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM) An alternative PHP FastCGI implementation is referred to as PHP-FPM. The performance of PHP scripts on servers is improved by it.

  15. phpMyAdmin It refers to a graphical application. It lets server administrators manage as well as manipulate databases that are related to MySQL, over the Internet. This feature can be accessed by server administrators in the “SQL Services” section in WHM.

  16. Plugin The features or functionality of an interface are modified by a plugin. The plugins for cPanel, WHM interfaces or Webmail can be written by one.

  17. Plus Addressing Plus addressing is also referred to as subaddressing. A plus character and string are added by it, after the username of an email account. Messages would be recognized by the email account and would be placed in the list mailbox. In the event that the mailbox doesn’t exist, this message is sorted by the account to the inbox mailbox.

  18. POP Before SMTP It is an authentication method that is meant for mail servers. This method lets a user who has received an email through IMAP or POP3 to send mail for half an hour without having to re-authenticate through SMTP. This can be enabled or disabled by WHM users through the “Tweak Settings” interface in WHM. WHM -> Home -> Server Configuration -> Tweak Settings.

  19. Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) POP3 is an email transfer method that is used widely. Every message in an email account is copied by POP3 to a local computer. Post that, these messages are deleted from the mail server. Information is not sent back by the system to the email account regarding message replies or forwarding.

  20. Private Key A private key is a string of characters that is used by a computer for the purpose of encoding and decoding those encrypted messages that are received by it. A pair of keys is used by an encryption scheme, where one is a public key and the other one is a private key, in order for the creation of a secret code.  When an encryption scheme is used by one, then anyone who sees the message that was sent by one’s computer or received by it, can’t know the content of such a message without having access to the private key. One’s confidential information is protected by a private key. Hence, this key should be stored safely.

  21. Process ID (PID) PID is that unique number which is assigned by one’s server to every individual process that runs. One can view a list of the running processes with PIDs in the “Show Current Running Processes” interface in WHM. WHM -> Home -> System Health -> Show Current Running Processes.

  22. Public_ftp A public_ftp is a subdirectory that is inside one’s home directory. It contains files that can be accessed publicly through FTP. Files might be uploaded to this directory by FTP users. This is that default directory which is accessed by the users when they connect to one’s site by using an anonymous FTP.

  23. Public_HTML Public_html is a subdirectory that is inside the home directory of a user. Such files are contained in it that are accessible publicly through the HTTP protocol. Any file or folders that are in the public_html directory can be viewed by the visitors over the Internet. This is possible unless a website owner protects these specifically with the aid of password protection or the .htaccess file.
