Last week our team traveled to scenic Denver, CO to sponsor and exhibit at the 10^th annual cPanel Conference. The three-day event was full of informative sessions, keynotes, and training courses for hosting providers. In the exhibitor hall, our team had the chance to reconnect with long-time partners and meet several of our newer users. Our friends at SoftLayer held the ever popular Server Challenge II, where players reconstructed a scaled down version of their servers. The fun continued into the evening with networking events that included a raffle at Casino Night, dancing and games at The Viewhouse, and a brewery tour of the Wynkoop Brewing Company.

One of the highlights of the conference was Co-founder and CEO of CloudFlare Matthew Prince's keynote, The Next Crypto Wars: What Every Host Needs to Know. As we head into the second Crypto War, a battle between technologists and policy makers, it’s important for you to understand the history behind the first, how the second will affect you as a hosting provider, and how to adequately prepare your business for all possible scenarios.

It's the first day of the 2015 cPanel conference, and we're so excited to be exhibiting here in Denver, Colorado! For those unacquainted with this huge industry event, each year, cPanel Conference brings together entrepreneurs, developers, hosting providers and website owners for an immersive three days of workshops, discussions, and hosting exploration. Stay tuned for some of our top takeaways in the coming week!

In the meantime, start thinking about how you're going to pick our brains at the R1Soft booth. This post will get you started by examining how hosting providers can exceed customer expectations with premium backup service. This starts with having the right requirements and objectives. If this is a topic of interest for you and/or you want to learn more about our involvement at the cPanel conference, keep reading!

As a newbie to the Web hosting space, I wasn’t sure what to expect from my first (of what I hope will be many) industry event this week: cPanel’s Hands on Houston conference. And while it was a relatively smaller show in the hometown of both cPanel and R1Soft, it was definitely a valuable learning experience for me.

From the insightful keynotes to the raucous Beastie Boys cover band to the fantastic conversations our team had during the show, here are the top themes and tips that I took away from the two-day conference.

Today’s Quick Tip focuses on backup and restore of individual cPanel accounts with CDP 3.0 Enterprise and Advanced editions.

You can restore the entire state of your WHM server and all cPanel accounts from a CDP recovery point by restoring all files or performing a BMR. However, you may occasionally need to restore individual cPanel accounts; possible scenarios include when a cancelled customer decides he wants to reactivate, or if there were accidental changes made to any of the account’s configurations in cPanel. What can you do in this case?
