Addon Domains Vs Separate Domain Pros/cons
I'm trying to understand more the Pro's and Con's for having an Addon Domain vs Separate domain.
Here's my use for it. Site1.com holds all the files, Site2.com holds all the video and images. When it comes time to add a second server (end of this year) I could move Site2.com to a second server and nfs mount it. Thats of the site is separate. PROBLEM: separate site means permission problems, when write code ie.php you can unlink / move files without permission which means setting up special groups.
Addon domain doesn't have the permission problem from what I can see, since the domain gets the group access of the Mainsite. so no extra configuration required. now the problem would be how do I get that addon domain to a second server to offload some of the resources.

Cpanel AddOn Domains With Subdomains Automatically From Main Domain
Lets say I have abcd.com as the main domain on cpanel. abcd.com has 10 subdomains. Basically what I want to do is when I do an addon domain or parked domain I want the subdomains to basically point to abcd.com automatically. Let's say the addon/parked domain is 1234.com For example I have sub.abcd.com as the main subdomain so when I type in sub.1234.com I want it pointed to sub.abcd.com internally meaning the script/files from there however in the browser show as if it were sub.1234.com

Parked Domains Over Addon Domains
I have 2 wordpress blogs, and I'd like a few different domains to be shared on each of them. Using some exemples, suppose I have domains from domainA.com to domainE.com. domainA.com is my main domain and the others are addon domains. Today Blog1 is using blog.domainA.com, and domainB.com and domainC.com use WebRedirect to blog.domainA.com. And Blog2 uses domainD.com with WebRedirect on domainE.com too. To access a post like /2008/02/02/this-is-a-nice-post, it is available only at blog.domainA.com, and not by domains B and C. I'd like they 3 to be able to access all posts directly, without redirecting to domain A. To do that, I suppose I'd need to do some config on cPanel. And also on wordpress, even if I replicate it over other domains it insists to redirect to its configured domain. I was thinking on the possibility of using symbolic link (ln -s) on their folders to blog.domainA.com folder, but I don't have access to shell on SSH so I'd like to know if it would work before trying. In a real exemple of what I want, these domains all share the same phpBB forum: forumpcs.com.br, extremepc.com.br, forumdohardware.com.br. Do u know if symbolic link would work to share the same wordpress? And how to make wordpress stop redirecting to blog.domainA.com?

Addon Domains
Been browsing the site and would value your opinions. Addon domains are supplied by some webhosts and not others, one of the hosts who does not supply any addon domains puts across a good argument that they can overload a server if they get out of control. How do others apparently manage these with no problems?

Addon Domains On CPanel
When I try to addon a domain, i always got this error message. Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: 76.74.137.77,76.74.137.135 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameser always getting this error when I try to addon a domain to a main account The domain is correctly pointing to my ip's as well..

Addon Domains And Subdomains
I have a main domain "main.com" and when I make a new addon domain "new.com", it creates a new DNS Zone for "new.com" but also adds a subdomain DNS entry to main.com "new.main.com". I know that is very typical way that cpanel works, and I know there are ways to work around this by using .htaccess. What I am trying to discover is if removing the "new" subdomain DNS entry under main.com could cause any problems. Are there side effects? Will this break anything within my VPS?

CPanel Addon Domains
I am not a reseller, but I currently use a reseller account to manage several separate sites of mine. I know that it is possible under a standard cPanel account to have addon domains, where the html files go in a subfolder of the main domain. If you do this: - is it possible for people to access the addon site files using www.maindomain/addondomain, and if so can you stop this? - do you still get separate email addresses and spamassassin settings for the addon domain? - do you get separate web server logs for each domain, for stats? - is there any other reason why it might still be better to pay more for a reseller account so that each site can be managed completely separately?

Directory Structure And Addon Domains
I have a shared hosting account. VPS or dedicated is not an option. I use CPanel. For example, www .maindomain. com is the primary domain associated with the hosing account. When adding subdomains or addon domains, a new directory is created in the public_html directory of my hosting account. These new directories hold all the files for the sub domains and addon domains. My problem is that the directory that holds the subdomain or addon domain CAN BE accessed from: [url] or www .maindomain. com/addon_domain_directory/ thus, www .addon_domain. com can be accessed from it's own URL as well as www .maindomain. com/addon_domain_directory/ Is there a solution that DOES NOT allow this to happen? If my main domain could have it's own directory under public_html, that would be great, but I do not know if this is possible. A directory structure like this: -public_html -maindomain -subdomain -addon domain

Doubt Related To Addon Domains
I have read about addon domains but I have still one doubt regarding same. Suppose I have buy two domains which have no any relationship with each other like one is of my family (viralshah3112andfamily.com) and one is for my uncle's business site (xyz.com) . Now if I host them in one account as addon domain, both will have different identity? Means both will have different URL like xyz.com and viralshah3112andfamily.com. Is it so?

Addon Domains Moving To Parked
I have a reseller account in WHM and CPANEL. With that I have a range of sites under it created in Cpanel under addon domains. Everything works fine, then suddenly everything goes down, and all leads to the main site. Reason is, it shows all the domains in Cpanel as parked! Even removing them from there or WHM causes it to dissappear from the addon section and not show up online. Now it happened months ago where httpd.conf file had to be edited manually. And it just happened about 30hrs ago. Does anyone know why this would happen? I have asked my datacentre 3 times, with no clear answer about it, except it just does. How can it be prevented in future? Also asked my datacentre this with no answer. Will be putting up a review of them soon, and it will be the complete opposite of what I thought of them before.

Addon Domains In Same Directory With H-Sphere
I mean create addon domains inside the same directory like cpanel do with H-Sphere? So you can access the site in both URLS like sub section of your main site and same as its own domain. MainBigSite.com/MusicSite MusicSite.com So you can show like MusicSite.com also a part of MainBigSite when user go through MainBigsite.com direct users from google can go with MusicSite.com Using that MainBigSite.com will get lot of pages indexed in google coz its hwoing URLs of MusicSite.com too. If there is no option to do that or any way to change H-Sphere, Can you please tell me how to do it manually? What files to edit and steps? After i did that it will cause problems with H-Sphere?

Get A Domain Name With Hosting, Or Separate
Before I went to register with GoDaddy, I looked back at some web hosts I was considering. Some real good ones include free domains. What are advantages to bundling a domain with the hosting package? Is setup usually quicker? What if, at the end of a yearly contract, I decide I want to host my site with a different company? I certainly hope domain names are transferrable around the expiration period.

Addon Domain
I have a domain with 2 addon domains added to it. Lets call the domain1.com and the addons are domain2.com and domain3.com I transfered the sites from one server to my server and know if I try to goto domain2.com or domain3.com they are not found. If I goto domain1.com/domain2 (or 3) it works just fine though. I tried to do the addon domain in cpanel but it is coming up with the following errors. Bind reloading on server using rndc zone: [domain1.com] The subdomain, domain2.domain1.com has been added. Error from park wrapper: domain2.com is already configured. Removed domain2.domain1.com Server at line: 1244. Removed Entry from httpd.conf Bind reloading on server using rndc zone: [domain1.com] The subdomain, domain2.domain1.com has been removed. domain2.com could not be setup. The subdomain domain2.domain1.com was not setup either. How can I fix this? I did try to make domain2 its own account after that, but the script did not work for some reason even though it does if I goto domain1.com/domain2. I know it must be something simple I am missing, but for the life of me I am drawing a blank. Also, I moved the site by doing a complete backup in Cpanel and uploaded that to the new server and restored it from the WHM backup screen.

Addon Domain
I currently have an established domain, mainsite.com, which is running PHP-Nuke on the directory /home, with a redirect accordingly. Now, I've created an addon domain, 2ndsite.com, for which I've installed Wordpress at the top-level. The trouble is, 2ndsite.com defaults to mainsite.com/home - unless I redirect 2ndsite.com to mainsite.com/2ndsite. If I do that, I can then see my WordPress installation. I'd obviously like to have 2ndsite.com be viewed from that address, as opposed to a subdir under mainsite.com - that is why I got the domain in the first place.

Keeping Multiple Domain Names Separate
How can it be determined that multiple domains are "affiliated" with each other? For example, at the link below, on the left side of the page it says that yahoo.com, yahoo.net, and yahooligans.com are owned together. Does this mechanism use WHOIS records, or does it use the IP addresses to which each address resolves (which would only get sites that use named-based virtual hosting to the same IP address, right?) [url] If people run multiple sites, say personal and business, and they don't want them to be affiliated, how can they make sure they can’t be linked with each other through such mechanisms?

Restoring Accounts To Addon Domain
Currently, 2 domains hosted on a dedicated server with each account having its own Cpanel. I'm going to move/migrate these 2 domains to a shared hosting server. The shared hosting accont has Cpanel and I've added 2 Add-on domains (the same ones on the dedicated). In total, there are 3 domains under the shared hosting account; The main domain and the 2 other (add-on) domains. My question is it possible to restore these 2 accounts under a single cpanel account and having all the emails intact? So, in essence, I'm having a single cpanel account to manage the 2 domains to be transferred from the dedicated.

E-mail From Addon Domain Flagged As Junk

I am mostly using the Thunderbird client to send e-mails. 80% of the time when I send a mail out from "name@addondomain.com" hotmail, gmail, yahoo all see it as spam! What's ironic is I receive more darn adult e-mails in my free accounts than anything else, and yet it's thinking the occasional mass personal message is SPAM? So these guys that flood my inbox daily must know something I don't? Is there something I'm doing incorrectly? Or do I need to change a hosting package setting, should I use different software such as a php mailing list?

Do Any Good Hosts Provide A CPanel That Keeps Addon Domain Lists In Order
I find that I like using CPanel with addon domains in a new unlimited domains shared plan rather than using WHM with each name having its own CPanel in a reseller plan (which I have been used to until now at another host). The only problem is that all the addon domains are out of order - they are not even in the order in which I add them. This puts a damper on things and makes managing them much less efficient than one would expect with the addons in order. After putting in a support ticket, I was told they can't do anything about it at all. They told me the order of the listing is the order in the "mail server apache configuration." After posting this matter here in the Apache forum, I have been informed by an SP member that the answer I got wouldn't hold any water at all, or more accurately, consists of a whole lot of smoke. As a person who knows how easy and basic it is to sort data lists or drop-down form selector fields myself, I must admit that it's hard to believe nothing can be done in the 21st century. I have no desire at all to go with another reseller plan, and like using CPanel instead with addons. Does anyone know of the good and well known unlimited domain hosting providers who keep the addon domains in order within CPanel? Is there any other good option for shared hosting that doesn't involve using WHM and does offer common sense multiple domain management where everything is in order?

How Do The Hosting Pros Do It
I work for a design/ad/development firm that started offering shared hosting several years ago. We purchased some rackspace and started co-locating servers in a big data-center. As we're growing, we're beginning to out-strip our capacity to manage all these FreeBSD boxes. How do the pros do it? - What sort of hardware do they buy? Big beefy machines or banks of disposable 1Us with ghosted OS images, and just swap out ones that break? Are blade servers a good idea here? - How do they manage redundancy? At the bargain prices most hosts charge, I don't see how they can keep redundant machines - Does anybody know of a good firewall that can keep up with traffic? We tried deploying a NexCom box with pfSense, and while the management interface is great, it can't keep up with what we need it to do.

Email Being Picked Up As Spam From Hosted Domains. Main Domain Is Ok
i have a vps and although i can send mails without problem from my main root account, sending via any of the child accounts created for customers results in their email being picked up as spam (in hotmail at least). To clarify, mydomain.com is my main name. Email can send without problem, customersdomain.com, hosted on the same machine, when sending emails they are picked up as spam. The mx dns entries in the zone file are set (by default to) customersdomain.com. and for all the child domains customer1domain.com. etc. Do i need to ask the datacenter to add a reverse dns entry for mail.mydomain.com? Is this an issue with the mx records for the hosted domains? Should i change the hosted domaims mx entry on the customers domains to mail.mydomain.com? I know the ip isnt blacklisted because exactly the same email goes through when sending from the mydomain.com email addresses.

Separate Sites On Same VPS
I have been running 1 site on my VPS for some time, but there is still a lot of things I don't understand 100%. Now I want to add another site to the VPS, but keep the sites as separate as possible, and I have no idea how to accomplish this. Lets say my first domain is football.com. This means I have these settings: I got 3 IP's: x.x.x.1, x.x.x.2 and a new one x.x.x.9 My hostname is host.football.com (x.x.x.1) My site is www(dot)football.com (x.x.x.1) Nameserver NS1.football.com (x.x.x.1) Nameserver NS2.football.com (x.x.x.2) Reverse DNS on x.x.x.1 to host.football.com Exim running on x.x.x.1 Lets say my second domain is water.com. It's no problem using WHM and run this site on x.x.x.9, but there is a lot of references to football.com (nameservers, hostname and probably emails). Is there anyway to keep the sites separate? I'm thinking that I need to request 2 new IP's, run NS1.water.com and NS2.water.com on these. I don't know if I can get a host.water.com with reverse DNS, and I guess emails will still be from x.x.x.1.

MySQL On A Separate Server
I have a server with lots of sites and about a hundred MySQl apps. All of them are configured to talk to localhost and work fine. But I'm trying to move the MySQL off to a separate box to increase performance. So since everything was configured to localhost my idea was rather than change that what I would do is set up an SSH tunnel to the new server running MySQL. Seems like that should work, but it doesn't. I set everything up on the new computer. I shut down mysql copied all the files over, started MySQL on the new server. Everything tested fine. Then I established the ssh tunnel and everything looks good, but the applications just didn't see it. I did some experiments and if I set it to 127.0.0.2 it works, but not on 127.0.0.1.

Advantages Of Using A Separate Host For Images
I'm starting to see this, or maybe it's always existed, but it seems like bigger sites are hosting their images on external servers. I've even seen some sites use Flickr as the host for all of their images. I guess for Flickr that means you have a guarenteed image CMS, but I really don't see that as why Flickr was created. I'm sure there are bandwidth advantages, and maybe that's the main reason. Is there a point where the traffic gets so high that moving images off site would improve load times and sever loads? Is it a worthwhile endeavor for smaller sites? I'm curious to see what the thoughts are on this trend.

CPanel- Separate Account For Subdomain
In an effort to install an SSL cert for a subdomain (secure.domain.com), I recreated my accounts in WHM. Account 1 has userA and domain domain.com, and Account 2 has userB and domain secure.domain.com. I think I have everything back to normal, but I want to get everything stable before testing the cert install. My question is, when visiting cpanel.domain.com, to enter the cpanel for that account, I am able to login with both userA and userB credentials, and the same when logging in to cpanel.secure.domain.com. As stated, I have separate WHM accounts for the main domain and the secure subdomain, I have dedicated an IP address for the secure subdomain, and the main domain uses the share IP address, and also, there are separate DNS zones setup for the secure subdomain and the main domain. How do I set it up so that only userA can login to cpanel.domain.com and only userB can login to cpanel.secure.domain.com? Or is this not an ideal setup, and if not, what would be the ideal setup here?

Separate Email Server Routing
We have a VPS service with ServInt to host only our website (www.ourdomain.com for example) and not our email - the nameservers are also not on our VPS. This all works great but it means that any emails which are sent from our VPS to xxx@ourdomain.com are getting routed to the VPS and not the email server and so are being dropped. Is there a way around this because ServInt support seem to be stumped because they have suggested the only way to fix it is to setup nameservers on the VPS instead of where they are now?

Synchronizing And Balancing 2 Geo-separate Servers
I know this is not an awesome idea, but I'd like to try it. A friend and I want to share (home) servers. We both have fairly decent upload and we both have nice (dual core, 1GB RAM+) servers, so that's good. Another thing I'd like is failover for when one of our servers go down (I've got that part covered with my own DynDNS client). We're both running Windows servers. Since I cant really use a load balancer in this situation, we'll be using round robin DNS. Now here's the questions: How do we keep our MySQL servers synced? Should I use rsync or something else for files? How do we handle PHP sessions across servers? If you don't think the load balancing thing will work out, I'd still like to do synchronization and failover. My friend is in another state by the way, we're not neighbors or anything so we can't just run some cables from one house to the other.

2 Separate Servers (IIS & Apache)
I'm more of an application programming guy than network/internet guy so excuse any ignorance on my part. I am currently using shared hosting on an IIS server. I running SMF Forums and a business on the IIS server. I have a payment system that I've programmed tied into the MySQL SMF database. This payment system uses ASP.net. I'm a .Net programmer. SMF is also being currently ran on the IIS server, and it does ok. I'm really wanting to start running my forums on a separate Unix Server. So my question is, can i run my ASP.net scripts on my IIS server that access the MySQL database on a separate Apache server? The Apache server and IIS server would have different domains (I'm guessing that'd be required). I think this is possible, but wondering what others think. All I should need to do is change some connection strings on my Web.config on my IIS server to point to the new SQL databases.
