What you will find on Mos Mos Tech

Mos Mos Tech is a place for the kind of fixes you end up needing at 2 AM. A lot of posts focus on cPanel and hosting work, things like changing docroots, fixing SSL installs, working with wildcard certs, and dealing with Cloudflare settings when validation fails. You will also see .htaccess rules, Apache paths, and simple command examples you can copy and adapt. The goal is not to tell a big story. It is to keep the steps clear so you can get the job done and move on.
