Hostzio is down still, so I'm planning on moving my websites to yet another server/reselling account. I was wondering if my account with Hostzio is still active, if I can transfer the domains to another server without any problems? There would be about 10 domains I'd have to transfer from my old account to the new one.
i have a dedicated server with 5 usable IP's in range xxx.242 to xxx.246
xx.xxx.120.242 <-- main shared IP xx.xxx.120.243 xx.xxx.120.244 <-- in use by my nameservers xx.xxx.120.245 <-- in use by my nameservers xx.xxx.120.246
When i select in WHM "Change Site's IP Address " and the account i want to change it shows me a drop down menu with the ip's of the nameservers AND the
xx.xxx.120.243
If i select that one the domain in the account shows the apache default page only inmediately.
I don't know why the xx.xxx.120.246 ip doesn't show or why the nameserver ip's appear because they are in use.
Do i need to wait for propagation or is this an error?
Has anyone helped clients transition from one domain to another? Maybe dissolving a partnership or renaming their company... so a new domain name has been registered and a new website created.
2 Issues:
#1 Using .htaccess 301 redirect We used the following command line in their old website's htaccess file
Redirect 301 / [url]
The goal was to get people try to visit any page of their old website (i.e. OldWebsite.com/contact.html) redirected to their new website (i.e. NewWebsite.com/contact.html). Isn't that supposed to change the address bar's URL, too? For some reason, I visit their old site and I seem to be redirected to their new website but the address bar still has their old domain name? Something is going on???
#2 Having their new company name for 2 years now. People can enter her new company name in Google, MSN or Yahoo. Her new company name appears in the search results but has the old domain name associated with it. We are trying to get rid of any reference to that old domain name? What's the easiest way to do this? So what people see in search engines is:
New Company Short Meta Description www.OldDomain.com
What steps did I miss in this transition?
What steps do I have to take on their old website/old web server to control it's appearance on search engines and make sure people get to the new website?
I wonder if there is any chance to change the domain that is being shown as the incoming/outgoing mail server to users of the Plesk Panel, when clicking on the "Info"-Icon near an e-mail-account in the mail list (see screenshot).
We only have a SSL certificate for one domain and want our customers to use this domain in their mail client settings, so that the client trusts the domain.
Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal? Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know.
I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours.
I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly?
He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting.
Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone?
And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?
I'm stuck. First let me explain how my current sites are setup. I have all of my personal domains through GoDaddy at the moment. I set each domain to point to GoDaddys default hosting nameservers. Then I create DNS A Records for my domain pointing to the IP of my webserver. That works.
I recently purchased a domain name from a backordering service. This domain is with a different registrar. They do not offer any kind of managed DNS and will not create A records for me. My server is not setup as a nameserver so I can't do either. I also can't transfer the domain over to GoDaddy because of ICANNs two month rule.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? Is there a service out there where I can point to their nameservers and they will send traffic to my servers IP?
I'm not as sharp on this topic as I probably should be
I have a hostee who as part of an out-of-court settlement, needs to change the primary domain they host on. The domain they're switching to is already a parked domain on their account. At first blush, it seems like it would be pretty easy, but now I'm concerned about their email. Both of the principals of the company use Horde extensively for webmail, and as such I have files on the server for their email accounts. What I was thinking about doing is this:
1. Stop parking the "new" domain on the account. 2. Change the account from using the "old" domain in WHM to the "new" domain by modifying the account in WHM. 3. Forwarding email sent to user@old.domain to user@new.domain, in CPanel. 4. Assorted changes on website to account for the new domain - published email addresses, new SSL cert, things like that.
My concern is in how to move the mail files, currently set up to be for user@old.domain, to be readable by Horde as user@new.domain, so it's seamless to the users. We will be keeping the old domain under our control, but not using it to point to the site any more; I just don't want to have to tell them "OK, to get your old email, you have to check this address, and to get new email, you have to check this one."
Would my plan above actually accomplish that? Is there a better way within a WHM/CPanel framework to accomplish what I need without losing email or access to it? What am I missing?
I'm working on a young site that will be changing its focus and its domain name to reflect the new focus. What is the correct way to change the domain name? In the past, I've simply created a new site in WHM/cPanel under the new domain name and copied the old site (and database) over, which was a great deal of work. Is there another way to do it that is less time consuming - without having to copy files? Are you not able to just change the domain name setting in WHM without having to copy the entire site over to a new directory on the server?
I am running plesk 9.2. I need to move one domain from the shared IP to dedicated IP. How do I do that? My server vendor has already allocated the IP addresses to me and I can see the unused IPs in the Ip address pool. How can I change the ip of suppose; mydomain.com from 1.2.3.4(shared) to 4.5.6.7(dedicated)?
After changing website domain name (from development one -dev-domain.com- to production one) we have this error in fail2ban.log :
2015-02-01 06:46:41,176 fail2ban.filter [2848]: ERROR Unable to open /var/www/vhosts/system/dev-domain.com/logs/proxy_access_log 2015-02-01 06:46:41,176 fail2ban.filter [2848]: ERROR [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/www/vhosts/system/dev-domain.com/logs/proxy_access_log' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/server/filter.py", line 520, in getFailures has_content = container.open() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/server/filter.py", line 601, in open self.__handler = open(self.__filename) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/www/vhosts/system/dev-domain.com/logs/proxy_access_log'
Since we switched to Plesk 12 and activated nginx the problem reoccurs reliably on every domain change. As soon as a customer creates a new domain or alias and Apache restarts nginx delivers 502 errors for maybe 10 seconds. After that everything is fine again.
The system is Debian 6.0.10 with Plesk 12.0.18 Update #38
That might not be a problem in small environments, but with >100 domains the timeout is annoying enough for customers to pick up the phone.
Adding this to /etc/sw-cp-server/config did not do the trick.
Recently, we had trouble with Horde, which I Re-installed. However, since then any change that is made to a domain in plesk (changing mailbox settings, domain settings, hosting settings) All website show the default plesk page and I will have to re-run the reconfigure-all command in SSH to bring them all back up. Sometimes even that won't work and I will have to re-run the bootstrap repair command. We were actually on Plesk 11 when this started happening, so we upgraded to Plesk 12, but unfortunately this did not fix the issue.
We have around 500 customer websites on this server, so obviously the changes are made often and the sites going down on every change isn't great at all.
I have a long list of these errors in my error Plesk error log:
2014/09/25 17:31:53 [error] 818#0: *1566 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: *.*.*.*, server: , request: "$
But I can't seem to find out if this is the cause, or how to fix this error correctly on a Plesk install.
Is there a way to change the default value of the "Preferred domain" option in the hosting settings of domains in Plesk 11.5? When ever i create a new subscription/domain it just defaults to the value of "domain.ltd" and i have to go into the hosting settings and manually change it to "None". Is there a way i can set it to use the "None" option every time i create new subscriptions or domains?
