Anyone aware of a hosting company with all of their hardware in Canada who offers in their basic accounts the ability to host multiple domains without using sub-domains or sub-folders.
I want to host several domains with individual administration and security so that a bad script or hack of one wont affect the other domains.
Hoping to do it with a single account.
I've got a situation in which I need to have a set of mail accounts that share a domain name with a domain that's already in use as a domain alias and because the domain is already in use, I'm unable to create a new account using that domain. I tried explicitly adding "www" to the domain alias so I could keep the www.domain.com address as an alias and reserve the "domain.com" name for use as a separate account, but Plesk won't allow for that.
How to address this? The idea I'm currently considering is to delete the domain alias and then create the new account and manually set the DOCUMENT ROOT of the new account to refer to the other domain's document root. I'm sure this could create some difficulty in Plesk so I'm looking for input before trying it. I'm actually not even sure exactly where I would be able to redefine the document root with Plesk allowing the change and not overwriting it later.
If all else fails, I can setup a new account on a different and unrelated Plesk server, but I'd prefer not to do that.
if it is better to host two related websites on single host or on separate servers?
currently we are hosting three related websites on 3 separate webhosts. one in US, another in UK & another in Nepal. can anyone please explain if is it better to use single webhost?
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.
I have a client who will be pointing their domain to my reseller server. I have already setup the account on my server and made the appropriate DNS changes with their domain registrar - so the domain should be pointing to my server soon.
However, what is the normal procedure for migrating email accounts, without loosing mail?
When should they change email account settings?
Should they use their current settings until they get an error, or no longer receive mail, then change settings to match my server?
How is this normally done?
I have decided to go with a canadian dedicated for seo purpose's does anyone know where I can find a good server with comparable prices to the US, I have looks and everything seems to be about $100 more then what theplanet offers.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI see lots of folks on WHT selling servers at very reasonable prices (3-500), however, shippping to CanadaLand is often about the same as the server.
With that being said, does anyone know of any Canadian outlets, people, persons, or business that offer used 1-5u servers?
I know Dell and HP are out there, but I am looking for used.
Can anyone recommend a reliable hosting company located in Canada, preferably in Ontario? I am looking to resell hosting to a variety of clients. Excellent customer support is an absolute must. Also need an easy-to-use interface with maybe cPanel, access to eCommerce software, the whole nine yards. I know that NetworkSolutions (U.S.-based) operates in Canada. Anyone deal with them? I do deal with hosting companies in other parts of the world but have some clients who wish to remain domestic.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been happy at site5. Due to the Patriot Act, the stricter Canadian PIPEDA law, and my Canadian residency, I am looking for a comparable Canadian host.
I have a number of domains. My research has not revealed any Canadian hosts that offer something comparable to the convenience of Site5's MultiSite. Looks like to operate multiple domains under a single account in Canada the administration is via subdomains or domain pointers rather than what MultiSite does. Is anyone aware of a Canadian host that offers MultiSite like functionality.
The company and all of its hardware must be in Canada so the data does not become subject to the laws of other jurisdictions.
Can any one recommend any Canadian dedicated server providers except iWeb? We have already spoken to them and they do not support our preferred server operating system and control panel.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWe currently have a managed server at a datacenter in Ontario, and the provider had always charged us in USD. This is fine with us, as most of our revenue is in USD and then we're not subject to currency risk.
Now that the Canadian dollar has reached parity and then exceeded the USD, I'm wondering more about this policy. Is it typical that datacenters in Canada price in USD, or is our provider the exception? They list prices on their site only in USD, despite being a Canadian company and only having facilities in Canada.
I am looking for a Canadian host who necessarily have their servers in Canada who offer dedicated hosting and who hosts adult sites. I don't have anything particular specifications as of now since my sites are overall small (1k/day).
View 14 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how many dedicated server companies are based in Canada who do colo or have there own Data Center. I do know iweb is one. There are few more like peer1 and who else is there. I know there is search option but its giving too many results and i have very limited internet connectivity atm
We are looking to add canadian data center in our portfolio as well. And I am in Canada these days on business trip.
I have a questions for you other Canadians out there co-locating machines in the United States. How do you deal with shipping back servers to you that need repaired? I had to ship a server back to me via UPS recently and to my surprise it arrives to me with a $150 COD charge on it. I ended up talking to UPS and it ended up being $50 for brokerage fee's. But I'm wondering if there is any secret some of you are using to get the machines back without crazy border fee's? This is the first instance I've had to ship something back as the provider would not diagnose the machine on site or even help with shipping I had to go through UPS and then had to rely on the provider marking the right reason for shipping which they did not do.

My question is about search engines especially google. My site will be targeting US visitors and I am in the US. When google and other search engines see that my IP address is in Canada will it have any affect on search engine ranking for the regular us google.com? I don't care much about rankings on google.ca since my visitors will mainly be in the USA. anybody have any insite on this? I also want to mention my domain name will be a .com domain

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.

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.
Does xen run better on a double processor server rather than an intel duo?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
View 17 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Is there anyone here using Softlayer for Windows dedicated servers but at the same time using a server management company to manage the same?
I use Platinum Server Management for my Linux server, but they don't do Windows. I'm looking for a Windows server management company who has experience with Windows 2008 Enterprise and MSSQL 2008 Standard.
I found the page listing all of the 3rd party server management companies, but what I want to hear are successful marriages between Softlayer and the management company based on experiences of real users here.
my vbulletin site has been growing significantly and the server has crashed many times due to the high loads. My server guys tell me that mysql is hitting loads of 30 (not sure what that means) and i need to get another server for mysql alone.
They recommend that I shld go for raid-5 for the mysql server due to performance and redundancy. Thus if i was to upgrade now, I shld just go straight for a raid-5. Is that true?
My family is getting into the blogging business and they want to be hosted together to share costs. What features should I look for in hosting 4 or 5 small but growing blogs?

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?
