I would suggest that wordpress users use the following plugins:
A) wp_spamfree to keep your blog free from spam and unnecessary overload.
B) wp_SuperCache. It is best for them go into the settings and
configure it the way they like to minimize server load.

If the performance of your Filezilla is sluggish, getting timeouts, or tired of the pausing due to file exist issues, try the following tips:
set transfers options
- open FileZilla
- on the top menu, select edit
- click on transfers
- set maximum simultaneous connections to 5
You can try 10, but if you have a lot of LARGE files,
too many can cause timeouts.
Set file exists action
- Under transfers on the left navigational pane:
click the file exists action link
- change “Uploads” to the following selection:
overwrite the file if size differs or the source is newer
Those are two very quick options you can try. Also, make sure you have the latest FileZilla. Click help, then check for updates.

Note: If you have an Apple Mac, please see the following;
“Adobe trouble shooting guide said if anything might help it would be to delete the configuration files at USER/LIBRARY/APPLICATION SUPPORT/ADOBE/DREAMWEAVER CS4/EN_SH/CONFIGURATION folder and it worked but stay away from the system library.”
- Thanks to Dwight for the Mac tip!
As you may know by now, auto upgrade fails on a server at M3. We have disabled FTP in lieu of FTP over SSH, or sftp, for enhanced security.
Don’t despair. Until we work out this issue with WordPress auto install over ssh, email us, we will enable FTP until your upgrade is complete. Email us afterwords so we can disable FTP.
Note: sFTP is always enabled. Regardless of the state of FTP.
As we all know, keeping our WordPress sites up to date is vital to everyone’s security.
Question: What is my pop3 Server?
Answer: domain.com
To connect to your pop3 server via an email client such as thunderbird, check your settings. The incoming mail server, or pop3 server, should be set to your domain without any specific host names attached. So, if your domain was example-fishing.com, then your pop3 server name would simple be:
example-fishing.com (not pop3.example-fishing.com).
Question: What is my smtp server?
Answer: domain.com or your ISP
You can send email from your domain hosted at M3Server.com by checking your settings. The outgoing mail server, or smtp server, should be set to your domain without any specific host names attached like the above example:
example-fishing.com (not smtp.example-fishing.com)
You also need to select, “my server requires authentication”. Do not select SSL. Use the same user name and password as your email account.
If your ISP blocks port 25, like AT&T (which is a good thing, it controls spam and viruses from dsl attached computer networks), you can instruct your email client to use port 587, the alternate sendmail port.
Of course, we recommend using your ISP’s smtp server to send email. Since you are connected to the ISP, you have authorization to email via their smtp servers and local smtp servers to your computer is probably faster than sending through a remote server on a remote network.
Happy Emailing
