HostMaria has higher security requirements for card payments than your usual online shops, in order to protect ourselves against disputes and fraud. Please make sure your HostMaria account information (full name, postal code, billing address, telephone address) matches your card details. Why? When a card payment is submitted to a card network for authorization, Stripe provides the CVC, postal code, and billing street address for them to verify (if you collected these from the customer in your checkout flow). The card issuer checks this against the information they have on file for the cardholder. If the provided information doesn’t match, the verification check fails. A failed CVC or postal code check can indicate the payment is fraudulent, so review it carefully before fulfilling the order. We believe that PayPal has similar processes, although they are not as transparent as Stripe (our preferred payment gateway). The payment gateways also will record your IP address. So, it is a bad practice to use VPNs when making payments. IMPORTANT: Using a card that is not yours (of any 3rd party) will result in TERMINATED account. No warning and no backups will be provided. Be good! Helmuts HostMaria Founder For all questions, please open a support ticket at HostMaria: https://www.hostmaria.com/submitticket.php ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N0mpzG37OU

This is a video tutorial on how to activate #Edge #Cache at your #StackCP dashboard. I will start by explaining how to enable Edge caching on your website, in case that's the only option you're looking for. Then, for those interested, I will provide an explanation of what Edge caching is. To enable Edge caching, go to your control panel and look for the 'Edge Caching' icon. In my control panel, it's currently the very first item. From there, you can simply activate or deactivate it using the provided switch. That's it. By default, the following file types are cached for 60 minutes before being purged automatically: bmp, class, css, csv doc, docx, ejs, eot, eps, gif, ico, jar, jpeg, jpg, js, mid, midi, otf, pdf, pict, pls, png, ppt, pptx, ps, svg, svgz, swf, tif, tiff, webp, woff, woff2, xls, xls2, robts.txt. What is Edge caching: Edge caching is a method used in network computing to store content closer to the user, thereby improving website performance and reducing latency. Imagine the internet as a vast network where data travels from the server (where it's stored) to the user (who requests it). The further away the user is from the server, the longer it takes for data to travel, which can lead to slow loading times for websites and online applications. Edge caching addresses this issue by placing copies of the data at multiple 'edge' locations closer to users. These edge locations, while not being the original server where the data is stored, act as local storage points. When a user requests data, such as a webpage, the request is directed to the nearest edge location. If the data is available there (cached), it's delivered quickly to the user. If not, the edge server retrieves it from the main server, stores a copy, and then sends it to the user. The main benefits of edge caching include faster load times for users, reduced strain on the main servers (since they handle fewer direct requests), and decreased bandwidth usage across the network. Essentially, edge caching is a strategy to distribute content across various locations to bring it closer to end-users, enhancing the overall user experience and the efficiency of web services. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcYTUzp-jkk
