Resource Management

Being mindful of resource usage is crucial in shared hosting. As a DataPacket client, consider these tips:

  2. Using strong passwords: Create complex and unique passwords for all your DataPacket accounts.
  3. Installing security plugins: Use recommended security tools to protect your website from common threats.

Email Etiquette

Responsible email practices are essential in shared hosting environments:

  1. Avoid spamming: Refrain from sending unsolicited emails or engaging in spamming activities.
  2. Use email authentication: Implement SPF and DKIM, available through DataPacket’s email services, to reduce the chances of your emails being marked as spam.
  3. Limit recipients: For mass emails, use email marketing services or limit the number of recipients per email.
