MOTD

While the appslots are quite nice, sometimes you want something pretty to look at when you login. Below, you'll find both the examples and the method you can use to install the motd for your appslot. Note that they are agnostic, meaning that if you like the Swizzin.net or HostingBy one better, go for it, you can use it.

If you are using Swizzin CE or HostingBy Dedicated App, DO NOT USE THESE! It will fail on ssh login, leaving you to fix it yourself. We will not assist you.

This is a third party customization. The author, Swizzin.net, and/or HostingBy.Design is not responsible for any abnormal or hanging processes due to using this addition.
