Visual Color Picker is one of the most handy little utilities around (and it’s free!). It’s basically a stand alone, all purpose color picker for Windows. It’s got all the little sliders and swatches you’d expect in a color picker. [...] Both HTML and RGB color codes for your selected color are displayed in the main window, ready for cut and paste. [...] There’s also a handy Color Preview window that allows you to see how different colors look together. [...] By far the most useful feature of all is the Screen Area Capture. This is similar to the eye dropper tool in Photoshop, but you can grab a color from anywhere on your screen! [...] Simple, handy, just works, and it’s free!

In this post I will explain how to ensure your WHM/CPanel installation is access securely using SSL. WHM and CPanel support SSL out of the box, as long as you connect to the right port. However, the words whm, cpanel, and webmail are a lot easier to remember than port numbers like 2087, 2083, or 2096. So, I prefer to log in by putting them at the end of the URL. Unfortunately by default these URLs point to the insecure ports, and not the SSL ones. Sure, you can you use “/securewhm” instead of “/whm” or “/securecpanel” instead of “/cpanel”, but that’s more typing, and there is no “/securewebmail” alias by default. Besides, why would you ever want to log into these services without SSL? Fortunately, you can change this behavior and have all of these URLs point to the SSL ports.
