Imunify360 treats all these cases the same. So, if there is no control panel involved, the system admin creates a user space in the form of a Linux User on the OS. The definition of user space is available here and it is rather a common Linux term widely known by system admins.
DirectAdmin – admin, reseller and user accounts are counted.
In cPanel/WHM, the number of users is based on the number of client (i.e. cPanel) accounts on your server/VPS.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security protocol used to establish an encrypted and secure connection between a web server and a user’s browser. It ensures that data transmitted between the two remains confidential and protected from unauthorised access.
When properly implemented, it is secure. An SSL certificate helps establish a secure connection between a client and a server by encrypting the data transmitted between them.
The padlock icon in a browser’s address bar indicates that an SSL certificate is securing the connection. Click on the padlock icon to view more details including validity dates.
Yes, SSL certificates need to be renewed periodically, as they have an expiration date. The validity period varies depending on the certificate type and provider. It is essential to keep track of the certificate’s expiration and renew it before it expires to maintain a secure connection.
Yes, SSL certificates should be used with all types of websites, including personal blogs, e-commerce stores, corporate websites and more. It is important to secure all websites to protect user data and ensure a safe browsing experience.
While SSL is not mandatory for all websites, it is highly recommended for all types of websites, especially those that handle sensitive information or engage in e-commerce transactions. SSL not only provides security but also improves trust and credibility among visitors.
When a user visits an SSL-enabled website, their browser and the server exchange digital certificates to establish a secure connection. These certificates contain cryptographic keys that enable encryption and decryption of data during the session. SSL works by using encryption algorithms to scramble data before it is transmitted and decrypting it upon arrival.
