Performing Group Operations on Domains

In cases when you need to introduce certain similar changes to several domains, you can use the Group Operations function, made available to simplify administration of multiple domains. Using this feature you can, for instance, select a number of domains, enable all of them to support SSL and limit the total amount of available traffic to a specific figure - all that within a single operation, without having to select each domain independently and edit its settings.

To perform group operations on domains, follow these steps:

  1. On your Home page, select the domains, whose settings or limits you wish to modify by checking the corresponding checkboxes.

  2. Click the Group Operations icon. The Group Operations page will appear, divided into five sections:

    • The Limits group is used for modifying the limits for various resources
    • The Hosting group is used for editing various hosting-related settings
    • The Preferences group contains miscellaneous editable options for domains
    • The Services group is used for enabling/disabling the use of domain services
    • The Modified domains area lists the domains, whose settings you are going to modify.

  3. To edit limit settings for a particular resource type:

    1. First, select the appropriate action from the drop-down box:

      • Leave the Do not change option selected, if you do not wish to make any changes
      • Select Unlimited, if you wish not to limit the resource usage
      • Select the Value option in order to specify a new value for the resource limit
      • Select Increase (+), to specify the value by which to increment the presently set resource limit value
      • Select Decrease (-), to specify the value by which to decrement the presently set resource limit value

    2. Then specify the value of the new resource limit in the corresponding input field.

    3. If you chose to increase/decrease the presently set limit value, use the drop-down box to select units if you wish to modify the limit value by a quantity of commonly used units or % if you wish to modify the limit value by a particular percentage.

  4. To change the hosting-related settings, select Do not change, Enable or Disable radio button for the corresponding type of setting. You can edit the following:

    • SSL support
    • Web statistics
    • Password protection of access to Web statistics
    • Custom Error Documents
    • Apache ASP support
    • SSI support
    • PHP support
    • CGI support
    • mod_perl support
    • mod_python support
    • ColdFusion support

    You can also choose to manage (or not) log rotation. Here you can:

    • Activate/deactivate log rotation
    • Choose the condition of rotating the log files: by size - specify the maximum size of the log files, or by time - select Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
    • Choose the maximum number of log file instances allowed
    • Choose whether to use the log files compression or not
    • Choose whether to send the log files to a specific e-mail

    NOTE

    It is advisable to set the log rotation options for all domains appropriately in order to prevent the log files from growing too large to be handled by the statistics utility.

  5. To change preferences, select Do not change, Enable or Disable radio button for the corresponding item. You can edit the following:

    • WWW prefix requirement
    • Web Mail
    • Support for web users' scripting
    • Traffic statistics retention settings
    • Mail to nonexistent users in a domain; you can choose to Bounce with message, Forward to an e-mail address, or Reject

  6. To enable/disable services, select Do not change, Enable or Disable radio button for the corresponding service. You can edit the following:

    • DNS Zone
    • Mail
    • Mailing lists
    • Tomcat
    • Anonymous FTP

  7. Click OK to apply the new settings to the selected domains.
