Secure Server Info


OLI features 128-bit SSL (secure socket layer) Data Encryption through the Web-FTP, as well as secure email when clients use the SSL ports (see below) and websites that use the secure layer as shown below. We also feature SSH (secure shell) encryption through Secure FTP (SFTP) and SSL FTP (FTPS) in our FTP Hosting Service.

First it is important to note the different Secure Server ports as they must be configured in your software: SMTP: 465
POP3: 995
IMAP: 993
FTP (SFTP): 22

FTP (SFTP): To enable secure FTP (SFTP of FTPS) please see the Secure FTP Section for complete details on how to setup your FTP software to connect securely to your FTP domain name.

Web content / programming: To access your website securely via SSL:
https://host.oliserver.com/~your-cpanel-username
– for example if you place a file “form.php” in your www folder, you’d view it securely using https://host.oliserver.com/~your-cpanel-username/form.php

Email Hosting: To use SSL with your email software, make sure you set your email software options to use SSL, then set the ports to the numbers given above (SMTP is 465, POP is 995, Incoming IMAP is 993). For the incoming and outgoing servers, you will connect to: host.oliserver.com
