I'm using cPanel, and I'd like to change the IP address of all domains hosted on my server. When I click the "Edit DNS Zone" link in WHM, the IP address of all accounts is wrong. Do I have to change it manually for all of them?
View 4 RepliesI just wanted to know if there's any way I could speed up the process of moving my clients domains from our old server to our new server.
All my clients are currently on server1 and I want to move them all to server2.
I know I can go in and change the name servers for each domain to the new server (NS) but just wanted to know if theres a quicker way such as changing the Ip Adresses in the SOA records to point to the IP address of the new server.
Then if they're already loading off the new servers ip address, I can then change the domains name servers afterwards.
I want to redirect a website to a particular URL so that the address bar shows the same URL and not the destination URL. I know it is possible via URL masking, however, I want it in such a way that whenever somebody clicks on any link in the website, the address bar should still show the original URL. To put it in simple words, Suppose I want to redirect [url] to [url]. Now if there is a link named contact/index.htm and somebody clicks on it the address bar should display [url]and not redirect to [url]
How can it be possible using URL Rewrite method in .htaccess file?
I have many website projects in mind. Some are more like a hobby, some are business(just for profit). I have lots of free time and I'm willing to work very hard. But the problem is that since I have many projects in mind, it may get a bit messy. I mean I'll get a different domain for all of them but how should I go about choosing hosts? One idea I have is to get one good(big space and high bandwidth) shared web hosting and use it for all of my domains. The advantage is that I'm not exactly sure about how much traffic my domains will get so it seems to make sense to get one big shared account for all of them. But if one of my websites starts getting lots of traffic, can I move it to another host and use the same domain? What would the disadvantages of doing that would be?

what i would like to do is redirect people coming to abc.domain.com to ip address 192.33.55.3 instead of the conventional 202.44.33.1/abc/
can this be done ? If so how ? I know it can be done but i am not sure how or what the technical term for such a service would be ? and the actual steps involved in creating a redirection like this.
i just had a simple question about wether there is any difference between getting a VPS plan (like that from jumpline) and a shared plan (like that from hostgator) for the purposes of hosting multiple domains.
It seems that for vps I have to create a "subdirectory" to create a new account for domain name. Plus the emails are all the same (so for example if I create joe@domain1.com and I have domain2.com registerd, joe@domain2.com will also work with the same username password).
On the shared side of things - I also do not get a very high level of isolation. Not like with reseller WHM package anyways. BUT the resellers lack the basic ssh access (at least the most favourables I looked at).
So i was wandering if anyone out there who is doing small-time part work and sells personal/business websites to clients knows which way is it better to go.
To get a VPS account and keep on creating subdirectories for each separate client (and hope they don't use the "other" domain names in the emails)
OR
get the shared account that allows unlimited domans
OR
something else.
I also forgot to mention that my budget does not extend beyond $20/month.
I run several sites and am wanting to setup several more. Currently I have two shared plans, but I don't like how the add-on domains are affected by the main domain (e.g. addon.main.com on 4## and 5## pages).
Is going reseller the easiest way for me to have these domains not affected by each other (a separate cpanel each)?
Finally, I don't use a lot of resources so are there actually reseller plans out there with lower prices (and lower resources too).
how to assign multiple shared IP address on a VPS?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently got a new hosting plan, and I'm wondering what the best way to redirect a Dyndns.org domain is. I'm currently hosting a small site on my old server, which I have httpd.conf access to, using a Dyndns.org address. I'd like to have the Dyndns.org point to my new server at DTH, but it seems that the Dyndns.org system isn't compatible with a shared hosting environment. So, my question is, what's the most seamless way I could make a Dyndns.org address point to a folder or subdomain on a shared hosting account? I considered pointing the Dyndns.org domain directly to the IP, but that wouldn't redirect to the specific folder that the site would be in.
I'd really like to keep the dyndns.org address the same in search engines if possible.
If I issue a 301 "Permanent Move" code, will the search engines update with the new address. If this is too hard, maybe it would be better if I let go of the old address and just setup a redirect to retain my traffic.
is there a host that lets me add on as many unique ip as i want for extra cost?

I imagine the answer is yes, it is a bad idea, as I've not seen it done by others. I would guess the biggest reason would be that you wouldn't want a bad acocunt to get the IP blocked.
I'd like to hear opinions on the matter, as cPanel seems to be set up to automatically assign the first IP available to both the default account IP and the first nameserver.

This question gets asked a lot in our Helpdesk and I figured I would post our knowledgebase article here to help anyone else wondering the Pros and Cons of Unlimited Domain Shared Hosting vs. Reseller Hosting. If anyone has anything else to add, I appreciate any feedback on how we can improve our KB article.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Given the present state of shared hosting, many clients may ask "Why would I need a Reseller account if I can host unlimited Addon and Parked domains within a single shared hosting account?". There is certainly enough Disk Space and Bandwidth provided in many of today's hosting packages, so why bother to purchase a Reseller account?
Many don't realize the drawbacks of hosting large numbers of domains within a single hosting account until they've already packed tens of them onto a single package.
So how do you know whether a Reseller account or Shared Hosting account is right for you? The answer is in how you plan to provide access to others and how "mission-critical" the sites are. You should consider the following factors when deciding on hosting a large number of domains:
1. Who will be managing these sites?
2. How important is site security between sites?
3. Will these domains need dedicated SSLs?
4. How resource intensive will these sites be (RAM, CPU, MySQL)?
In a nutshell, Reseller plans are for those who wish to host websites for other sub-clients and a shared hosting package is for a single individual managing multiple personal domains. We'll go over the 4 points above in greater detail.
1. Who will be managing these site?
If you personally own multiple domains and wish to host them within the same hosting space, you can easily do so with an Addon or Parked domain. An addon domain will allow you to host a new domain within a subdirectory of your hosting space. A parked domain will allow you to have multiple domain names point to the same content. Since addon domains reside within the same user space as your main domain, you can manage all of your domains with a single login. You can see the problem if you want to provide another user with access. Since all accounts are managed with a single set of login credentials, if you give another user access to their addon domain you are also giving them access to your main domain. If you have vital information stored on your main domain and you are hosting another domain as an addon domain for someone else, you cannot provide them access to their hosting without compromising the integrity of your main domain.
When hosting sites as a Reseller, your clients in turn will want access to their account and will want exclusive rights to their disk space and server resources. With a Reseller account, each sub-account you create gets its own username, password, and isolated user space on the server. Individual clients of yours have access to their user space and their user space alone. In addition to the isolation with regards to access concerns, each account also gets their own cPanel access. All of the same great features that you use to manage your sites can also be given to your clients. Next time client Y wants to add an email account, you don't have to do it for them for fear of giving them access to your cPanel, you can simply give them their login details and they can manage their own email accounts.
2. How important is site security between sites?
This is along the same lines as point 1. This is not necessarily related to who you are hosting for, but what content you are hosting. Imagine that you are a webmaster and you are hosting your own personal site-in-a-box community forums (such as PHPBB or vBulliten) on your main domain and a company website for a paying client on an addon domain. It is not uncommon for popular scripts to have security flaws in older versions. Script authors will often update security flaws in later versions of their software. For this reason, it is very important to keep scripts up to date on your site. But let's assume you forget to update your scripts for a couple of months and an unscrupulous individual takes advantage of a well known security hole. Using this exploit, they gain access to your forums and any subdirectories. Since you are hosting another domain as an addon, they now have access to this domain's content as well. A site defacement on this company's site may not bode well for you when they are considering you for web master services in the future.
If these two domains had been separate into two individual users (i.e. two subaccounts created through a Reseller), their content would've been inherently isolated server side by Linux's user management. Sure, your forums still would've been affected by the security hole, but the break-in would've been isolated to your site alone.
Going back to our example, let's say that instead of a corporate website as an addon domain you are hosting an image gallery site for all of your cats. In this case, it may not be a big deal if a compromise in your main domain spreads to your addon domain. After all, they are both owned by you and you're only losing some time and effort to restore these sites from your local backups (which I'm sure you've actively maintained ). But then again, you are losing time and time is money. If these sites had been separated into individual users, again, you'd only have to restore one site's content.
The idea here is isolation. Reseller plans provide you with the peace of mind to know that if one of your users doesn't keep up with their site's content as actively as they should, their actions won't negatively impact the content hosted on other domains. If you and those you host in your addons are diligent webmasters, maybe this point won't have much bearing on your decision. Only you can say for sure.
3. Will these domains need SSLs?
As of this writing, SSL certificates must have a dedicated IP address to be installed. If you are hosting multiple domains on the same shared hosting package, you can still install an SSL (or purchase a dedicated IP address and install one) but you are limited to exactly one SSL on your account. If you are hosting multiple domains on the same package (and consequently the same IP), you must choose which domains gets to have the dedicated SSL.
Sub accounts of Resellers can each be placed onto separate IP addresses and, as a result, can each have their own dedicated SSL installed.
Of course, both shared accounts and Resellers' sub accounts can use the server's shared SSL free of charge. However, some clients prefer to see their domain in the URL bar when they visit https.
4. How resource intensive will these sites be (RAM, CPU, MySQL)?
We've already established that disk space and bandwidth will be no problem. But what about CPU, RAM, and MySQL resources?
It's important to be aware of the resource needs of your website. As administrators, we have to make sure all users "play nice" on the server. We can't have user X eating all of the CPU cycles computing pi to the trillionth decimal place while you are trying to serve web pages to your loyal visitors. We have to monitor the actions of all of our users and in the event someone is stepping beyond the bounds of acceptable resource consumption, we have to take action. In most cases, this entails disabling the abusive script, but in extreme cases we have to suspend the abusive user account to prevent other domains from encountering performance degradation on their sites.
If you are hosting 100 domains as addon domains, all serving nothing but static HTML pages, maybe you will stay off the radar.
But considering most sites are more complicated than static HTML, you may want to be aware of how many sites you host as addons and what content they serve. If you're hosting the latest and greatest Joomla modules, with up to date news feeds, integrated forums modules, polls, blog posts, etc your site can certainly require a degree of CPU to serve your pages. Now imagine you have 5 or 10 of these sites all hosted as addon domains. The resources these sites need to generate their content can quickly add up and before you know it you've got a friendly email from Acenet, Inc. in your inbox wondering why your user is consuming 2 of the 8 CPU cores on the server. That may be an exaggeration, but you get the idea. In the event your resource usage becomes so excessive that we have to suspend your user, now all of your sites are down instead of whichever one may be the direct cause of the spike in CPU, RAM, or MySQL consumption.
If each of these had been separate Reseller accounts, the offending account could've been suspended temporarily while we work through the cause, leaving the rest of your domains live and kicking.
The conclusion here is that you need to be aware of the needs of your sites in a general sense. Hosting unlimited domains within a shared hosting space is certainly a nice feature. For those webmasters who have multiple presences on the web, it's very convenient to be able to manage all of their personal domains from a single control panel. For those entrepreneurs who are hosting multiple domains for other individuals, the features and security associated with a Reseller plan and the inherent isolation of Linux users is a must have.

Server is currently named server.oldname.com with 2 ns records ns1.oldname.com and ns2.oldname.com which are assigned the first two IP's of my block of 8 available to me through the datacenter.
I have purchased a new domain name and have changed the name of my company. I am wondering the easiest way to go about changing server.oldname.com to server.newname.com and to create new glue records to replace ns1.oldname.com and ns2.oldname.com with the ns1.newname.com and ns2.newname.com
Are there any guides or detailed steps in this? Since my business so far has been local, I have the username and passwords to manage many peoples registrar records. I don't mind having to update theirs to the new ns's manually.
Is it possible to have ns1.oldname.com ns2.oldname.com and ns1.newname.com and ns2.newname.com at the same time? So, I could essentially change people over gradually. Would their be any things to worry about in all of this?
is there a way to change your server so that if you're trying to link to site.com/a/page.html through a link on site.com/b/page.html you can simply put /a/page.html instead of having to put ../a/page.html? I've noticed that some sites don't use the .. and was wondering how I could do the same.
