About My Website Moving And New Domain Name
Jul 27, 2008
I've purchased a forum, using a sub-domain name like bbs.mywebsite.com.
All the files will be moved to my new dedicated server.
I'd like to use a new domain name for it, like newname. com
but still to not lose current memebers, still we want to keep bbs.mywebsite.com working as before.
I have 5 IP availble and want to allocate one of them to the new domain name newname .com
================================================== ====
Now, question, what should I do, can some one give me instruction step by step please, to make 2 domains both bbs.mywebsite.com and newname. com working properly. don't want to use redirect.
Now what I can think of is, add newname. com to my account, and change DNS to point to my nameserver, then copy the whole forum under new website. I dont know if this way is correct. Then I don't know how to link the original forum address to the new space.

I couldn't find a suitable category for this topic, please feel free to move if I made a mistake.
I have a big website.
MySQL Size: 1 GB
Diskspace: 2 GB
It's over loading the server, so I am moving it to a dedicated server.
In the past, basically I would pause the live website (e.g. turn off forum). Move the data, turn everything back on in the new server and then change the nameservers.
But for this website, I don't want to pause the website nor I wish to loose any posts because of DNS propagation. (e.g. user might post data, which is stored in the current server. But then after propagation, the user won't see his post)

I am re-developing a website that launched 8 yeas ago. When the site launched it was developed in TCL and had an Oracle back end. The site's previous developer is still hosting the site on his server.
Long story short, we are re-developing the site on a new server at a different location. We'd like to re-launch on the old server (to help maintain Google search rankings), but we are developing in .Net and SQL. The old server is Linux. We want to maintain our ranking on Google since we are "Top Ten" on more than 20 great keyword phrases.
If we use a DNS forward from the old IP to the new one, are we going to loose rankings on Google? Obviously yes. But would it be beneficial to help the old developer buy a SQL server so the DNS forward is to a server 2 feet away as opposed to across the country? Does Google treat these equally?

I'm moving a large, 4 gig site between 2 servers (both have cpanel... if that's an option). Is there a way to do it quickly and correctly? How would I transfer such a large site?

i have moved my site (pages and data) from my VPS to dedicated.
NOW I want to move the domain from VPS to Dedi.
Both are running on directadmin. I want to quickly move domain so that new user registrations are on the new domain only. Last time when I did this, at some locations domain still resolved at old and I lost some data on old server.
what should i do? I think i need to:
1. update NS at the domain registerar.
2. update the ip address in the DNS administration of old server directadmin so that the ip address is of new server there.

I'm trying to move sites from one cPanel server to another. Presently, I am using the clustered DNS option in WHM to keep the two servers DNS in sync, which has allowed me to avoid messing with switching name servers for domains as I moved them. Now, I'm looking to turn off the original server, but that server is the one hosting the name servers that most of the domains use (ns1 and ns2.serverforest.com).
I'd like to move those name servers over to the new server, which I presume is as simple as re-registering them in the control panel over at my registrar. However, I presume I also need to bind IPs on the new server to the original DNS names. However, if I do that and the DNS cluster syncing occurs, won't that mess things up while I await the registrar making the changes? Do I need to turn off clustering before making the switch?
Is there a way to do this seamlessly?
Also, for testing purposes I created ns3 and ns4.serverforest.com on the new server. If I now want to move over ns1 and ns2, can I set them on the same two IPs that ns3 and ns4 "own" without any trouble?

i've been given the glorious task of sorting out the company web site.
We have a dedicated server, and 2 domains.
One of the domains is the default domain for the dedicated server, and the other is on another tag with another company.
That company has then setup a 301 redirect to an url on the dedicated server.
Nasty!
What I am hoping to do, is add another web site in IIS for the second domain and then get the other company to change the DNS.
I would happily transfer the domain to the dedicated server's tag, but that takes time and it may also cause email downtime.

We have a client who has a site currently hosted with some guys in germany. I cannot speak german, so am unable to chat to the support there, so thought I would ask here.
We are wanting to move their site to new hosts, as we are re-developing it for them, and their current setup does not suit our needs.
The only issue I am not too sure about is the following:
They rely heavily on their email (what company doesnt nowadays?), and they currently have IMAP acounts. They use thunderbird on a Mac for all their emails, so all their mail would presumably be on their machines.
No, if I moved their email accounts, would all the emails be deleted from their Thunderbird on their Macs? I know they wouldnt for POP, but I have only ever dealt with POP, nt IMAp.
If they will get deleted, what is the best way for me to handle this?

I have a domain name as per my sig. I am also creating a subdomain totally in contrast with that site below. My primary domain has one page on it so i would like to:
a) delete the one page on my primary domain
b) Make the contents of my subdomain my primary domain. e.g my domain is www.info-peep.com, my sub will be example.info-peep.com........i would like to make example.info-peep.com : www.info-peep.com......that make sense, as really the sub will be my main site.
Basically wanting to transfer the contents of my sub to my primary. So when people click info-peep.com, it will be the sub's site. Another thing to note is that i am using RVsitebuilder (WYSIWYG) that my web host provides. Also BEAR IN MIND the WYSIWYG editor does not allow me to move pages (sucks) or to copy the page contents.

I am moving my domain to my home server. I went to remove it from WHM and saw this option: Keep Dns Zone (needed if you have moved a domain between servers in the same dns trust relationship, and wish to remove the old domain).
I am running my own BIND server on my home pc.

I have my main domain (domain.com) and it is where all my sites and customer sites are pointed to (ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com).
I just purchased a VPS and have made (domain.com) my main domain as I want it to be because of keeping the nameservers the same for my clients.
My vision is this, I will transfer all the sites from my old cPanel account to my new DirectAdmin account. I have setup a time to let my clients know not to update any content on their sites. At that time I will then download the sites from the cPanel account to the DA account. I will then move my main domain (domain.com) over as well and then change the name server registries at namecheap.
I understand some things can get lost in this switch, but ALL clients are aware of this and understand. They will still have access to the old server via the IP address to check for misdirected mail.
Is this the simplest way to get this done?
Is there a better way, with using the main domain?

I have example.com as a reseller account hosted on a shared server. I have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com on that server and client domains use these nameservers.
I want to move to a VPS for more control and so I have acquired vps.example.com. This also has vps_ns1.example.com and vps_ns2.example.com with it.
Can I move everything to the VPS? Assuming that I move the files over, if I simply changed the DNS of example.com to point to nameservers vps_ns1(and 2).example.com, what would happen?
Have I made it over complicated for me to understand, and it's actually a lot easier than I think? Or have I shot myself in the foot by using vps.example.com as the name for the VPS?
I am using cPanel/WHM for both servers.

I have what I think is kind of a unique situation with a site move and Google is not turning up an answer that seems to work.
My site is currently in this format:
www.mydomain.com/site/file.html
And I am "moving" it but also switching from html to php, so the same file would be found at:
site.mydomain.com/file.php
I want to redirect users going to the old pages to their equivalent on the new site, however this is a little bit of a problem because this is a normal subdomain - it is the same directory as before but now there are php versions of the html files.
Right now I have all of the http files redirecting to their php equivilents, but I don't believe this is a desirable solution. Also it creates a problem when people go to www.mydomain.com/site (not indicating a specific file; just the subdir root) because I have www.mydomain.com/site/index.html redirecting to www.mydomain.com/site/index.php.
Quite a mess.
My first option is to put the redirects in the htaccess file on the "old" site. But is this a problem because there are over 500 pages on the site? Does it create a heavy server load because any requests force the server to serve a huge htaccess file?
The next alternative seems the most preferable although I'm not sure how to do it. It seems it could use wildcards so that anyone going to *.html gets directed to *.php or something like that. The only problem is that there are a small number of files that were removed completely and do not have php equivilants (about 5 or 6) and would need to redirect to the index.php in the root

Basically as the title says I have a domain thedrunkengamer.net that is my main domain and website, I just got a dedicated server and in the startup steps in WHM im at the Nameserver setup screen.
If i go to GoDaddy and register ns1.thedrunkengamer.net and ns2.thedrunkengamer.net as nameservers can I still use www.thedrunkengamer.net as my website?
If so by doing this will it impact the performance of my website at all? Should I register a seperate domain to use for nameservers?

This is the second time this week that my website was hacked. On the first hack attempt they somehow got into my cpanel and corrupted my license file which I had my host fix. Other than that the only damage done was an html file that replaced my main page. Then today, I find that my website has been further compromised, but by a completely different group. The first hacker was g3n3t1x and this second hack was done by www.turkishdefacerteam.com
Now, the problem is my sites dedicated IP is 72.36.192.150, and my domain name is gamingguilds.net, but if you resolve the domain name, it resolves to 74.53.52.66. I have checked my nameservers and everything is set properly. But the thing I don't get is that when you type in my domain name in a web browser, you see my website. How can it be resolving to the wrong IP and STILL show my website. Also note that when you type in my dedicated IP it would still show my website (before this second attack).
Now after the second attack, my dedicated IP no longer works, I cant get into cpanel using the IP, I cant get into my FTP account, and I get view my website. Yet if you use the domain name to log into cpanel or view the website it works. The strange part here is that I can't get into the FTP using the domain name.
SO, if you go to [url]you see a blank cpanel site, if you go to [url] you get a 404 error, and if you go to www.gamingguilds.net you get my website.

I came across a problematic situation today. Our client pmb.com.my has complained that their domain, when accessed from search engines will go to another site, not theirs. So, perhaps you guys can try this out.
1. Type the URL on the browser directly: [url]
You'll get the real site.
2. Try searching for "pmb malaysia" on Google:
[url]
3. You should see a normal listing for the site as the 1st result. Try clicking that link.
4. In our checks, it will go to a landing page (black bankground), and will redirect to an adult site.
5. You get this landing page too when you click the link to the site in step 1.
Appreciate if more people can try this out and post your findings here. I've contacted the RZ (site hosted there), and they said it is an issue with Google's cache. Not sure I buy that.

I've recently opened an account at a shared webhosting, cPanel managed. I've assigned it the main domain name I plan to use, but currently that domain points to another webhosting.
Before I proceed with the change of nameservers and make the definitive switch from the old to the new host, is there any way I can privately preview my site (100% HTML) from the new host? I'd like to ensure it's working OK before making the jump.
I've tried to add an entry to my local HOSTS file assigning my domain to the new host IP, but I only get a default page from the new server.

I would like to create an SSL website for parts of my domain. I have a few VPS's one running cPanel, the others running just Webmin.
Now I have managed to install SSL as I can login to WHM/cPanel using the secure port fine. Also I have installed SSL on the Webmin VPS's as I followed www.webmin.com/ssl.html which tells you how.
However I would like to get sections of my website secure i.e secure.mydomain.com would be HTTPS, and the rest of the site just normal HTTP.

If I type google.com in my address bar, it forwards me to www.google.com. This is not happening for my website right now. I think its a good idea to do this, since then search engines will have only 1 main URL for the website to index.
My question is:
How do I implement this? I think this may involve mucking with CNAME settings...

I've been on shared hosting for nigh on 3 years now. My site suddenly started growing rapidly recently and my shared host now has requested that I move onto a VPS or Dedicated as soon as possible (I would stay with them, but they don't have VPS options sadly)
My site is an image host, a dynamic image host too.
About 80% of my visits are from the US so I have decided, even though I am UK, that I need a US VPS.
I need it to be cheap, like $30 (To start with, while I gain funds) and generally reliable.
Would anyone know where such VPSs are? I would like 300MB or more RAM and about 5-10GB of disk space. My main issue right now is quality of customer service, I don't want to end up with a company that either has poor customer service or puts extreme restrictions on activity.

I have two reseller accounts at the moment, where all my domains are spread out at the moment. And I have just purchased a VPS from SolarVPS, and I'm awaiting the account details. Is there a way that I can transfer the sites across easily, such as creating a full backup and then restoring on the new VPS, or would I have do it individually for each website?

It's now coming to the point where I really want to consolidate all of our kit (mainly in the UK) and move to our own AS number, now I already know what routing equipment we're going to use and that is appropriate for the amount of traffic we need to carry, but what I'm stuck with now is which transit providers to use. I don't mind spending a reasonable amount on transit, but not stupid amounts. It also doesn't matter where I can pick these up as the plan we have includes our own links between buildings.
First of all let me say this is going to be a very slow process, so please do not PM me with your offers for transit, I'm not interested.
The plans are to peer at a couple of exchanges, most likely LINX and Xchangepoint, and to pick up around 3/4 transit providers. Because most UK traffic goes via peers, what I'm really looking for are the bigger providers to improve transatlantic routes rather than smaller providers which just make the hop count longer, my shortlist is currently:
Level3
Telia
T-Systems
PCCW
C&W
Interoute
GBLX
Viatel
