At first glance, comparing strings in bash might appear to be a niche use-case scenario.

So technically, there’s nothing stopping you from using a ridiculous hostname that doesn’t make sense. You could also use a hostname with […]
Renaming a file in Linux is easy, once you know how. You can do it from either the command-line or using the GUI, though the latter is faster and uses fewer resources. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to rename not just one file, but multiple files at the same time. In addition, I’ll […]
IPTables is the most comprehensive tool for managing traffic rules on your VPS server. The strange thing is that you might never have used it directly by invoking the “iptables” command on your server, but all the front-end tools like firewalld and CSF use IPTables in the background. We have a tutorial on NameHero on […]
In an earlier tutorial, I’d written about how to install Node.js on EasyApache. However, this doesn’t mean that it’s easy for users to get started with creating a Node.js application. If you have a shared hosting VPS, and you want to offer Node.js to your clients, then you need a much more streamlined way to […]
