The more I read and research the more confused I get. Issue: Business #1 hosted on local ISP, no pressing need to move it. Business #2 started out selling (not ecommerce) a couple items related to business #1 so I created pages for them on B1 site. B1 is no longer active, B2 now has a lot of items for sale and needs to get it’s own site, eventually ecommerce, but not right away (not a lot of time right now). I own the name for B2 parked at Network Solutions & it’s up for renewal (in a few days). I can move the domain register & get a website on one of the bigger hosting sites for about the same cost as I’m now paying for a private registration at NS. Is it stupid to pay for private since the contact info is plastered all over the website anyway? Most of these hosts offer a free domain registration. Then I read that it’s better to have your domain registered somewhere other than the site host in case there is a dispute.
I’m thinking—move registration to GoDaddy now. Keep researching hosts. If I (ever) decide on one that offers free registration I can get another name to park on the main domain that is reg’ed with GoD? Or would the free domain automatically be considered the main domain at host where I’d have 1 c panel & add-ons?
I need to make sure I can add ecommerce to the site in the future.
I created the original site in Front Page 97 which is of course no longer supported, I no longer even have a fully working version that I can find since I upgraded to XP, but I have a front page editor & Cute FTP to update the B1 site. So I’m in the market for another simple site builder, I don’t write code. I also have a dial-up connection only, so I don’t think an on-line builder is a good option.
Oh, and I’m on a tight budget but not looking for a free hosting “service”. $10/ month maybe?
I didn’t even know anything about CPanels and add ons and sub domains until a couple days ago. Info overload,
I'm interested in maybe moving all my reseller hosting and domain registration from United Hosting and Low Cost Names respectively... So I'm interested in hearing what you are using and why... I'm a freelancer who resells space, I live in the UK and am wanting the best companies to work it for me and my clients...
A few reasons why I want to change right now is that United Hosting just doesn't offer enough space for me, and I'm finding it more and more expensive for the value I'm getting. Though they are good as they allow me to edit php.ini files, have ImageMagick, and offer webmail to my clients etc. I do like Low Cost Names, but again I'm finding the lack of CNAME records a little disappointing.
So... what are your best reseller host and domain registrator to you and why?
As good practice is to keep domain registrar to be different from web host. So mail server should be kept of web host or domain registrar?

One other question . . .
Suppose I am using the Free Email address provided by (in this case Godaddy) with my domain. ►Will I still be able to use the Godaddy-managed email address?or will that vanish and have to be reestablished with the new host?
Here's my situation. I'm a designer/programmer. I have a reseller account with a hosting business that has plenty of good reviews here. I've been VERY happy with them for about a year.
I don't offer hosting, but i do sell hosting to clients who pay me for site design or programming. I host about 10 clients right now.
About a month ago, some of the client sites started going down, while other sites on my account had no issues. It seems random, with very little consistency.
I payed more attention and realized that some of the sites were going down for hours at a time, at random times. Not all of the sites on my reseller were affected, but there were at least 5.
My first support tickets relating to the random down times were shrugged off by the host, but after some nagging they told me that my dns zones were misconfigured (something about stealth nameservers). It was odd that every site worked fine for the last year and just NOW started having problems - but they're the experts.
My nameserver issues:
some sites were pointing to ns1/ns2.mydomain.com
some were pointing to noc1/noc2.mydomain.com
others were pointing to dns1/dns2.adifferentdomain.com
I had these nameservers set up in godaddy (my registrar). They've been like that for a year with no issues.
Thinking i'd fix them, i changed all the domains to point to ns1/ns2.mydomain.com.
I also used WHM and edited the dns zones for those accounts and made sure they all had the same nameservers.
Its been a couple weeks since i've fixed everything, and sites are STILL having issues.
My host insists that its a godaddy issue, but I can't understand how some sites work and some don't (when they have the same nameservers and IP)
is there any downtime when one transfers their domain name to another registrar? If so what is the approximate downtime?
If there is a downtime, is there anyway to avoid this?
What do you think of HqHost.net as a domain registrar? Has anybody tried them? I mean reged domain with them?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering is it possible to use RegisterFly's DNS server for my VPS. I only have 1 website on the VPS, but I want to increase the reliability of my site overall and thought if it were possible to give the DNS operations to my Registrar, who probabily really does have seperate DNS servers, this would be a good move. Since it would allow me to disable BIND (freeing up resources/memory), and put the DNS operations to quite possibly a more reliable set of servers (since my 2 DNS servers are actually just my 1 VPS)
What are the Pros/Cons of this type of arrangement?
So I need to know, can it technically be done, and what zones entries I need to create.
Can you guess what are the most looked-after domains during the landrush period?
buy.asia and sex.asia, no wonder
And naturally Asiadns.com is a leading registrar for .asia domains.

I've had a page hosted on pagesgarden.com for about 4 years now, they were fairly cheap and the service was decent. Now they seem to have vanished entirely and I'm looking to transfer my domain to another host, but I used pagesgarden as the registrar also so I'm not entirely sure of what I should do to reclaim my domain name.
What is the process for transferring a domain name after the registrar vanishes?
I was able to finally set up a dedicated server, and now I'm finallly off to the easier stuff.
Two quick questions:
1) How do I make it so my domain name takes me to my server's address? You know, just like how shared hosts give you the nice little DNS addresses that make everything magically work.
I could just forward the domain to my server's IP, though that would not display the domain name in every page, the way it's supposed to be.
2) When I visit my server's IP, it gives me the apache welcome screen saying everything was successfully installed. That page is locaed under /var/www/apache2-default. I find that "var" directory a bit strange, is it supposed to be there? And more importantly, when I add the real stuff I want on my site, should it all go under the "apache2-default" directory? It seems to be set as the default home page dir, right?
I've moved several .uk domains from 1and1 due to their limited DNS service.
I'm now using 123-reg, everything is going fine apart from the domains wont resolve without www (custom dns). The servers config is fine as other domains are resolving correctly including .uk. If I use my nameservers the domain also resolves correctly, just custom DNS I seem to be having problems with.
I've currently got the following setup at the registrars end:
www A myip
* A myip
ftp A myip
Is it ok to set up 3 ips in the registrar?
I have got 4ips from my new host
wanted one to b un-altered, the main IP
got 3 ips, set 2 ips as usual to the registrar for nameserver
is it ok to set the 3rd ip too into nameserver? I don't have any ssl or anything to b used for.
Can we use 3 nameservers , ns1,ns2,ns3?
Is it safe and what changes does this happen?
Ive done a few whois searches on some of our competitors websites. In the registrar details it has our competitors name as the Registrar and as the nameservers. How can we do this? so for example if someone did a whois on our clients websites, they would see something like this:
Registrar:
OurCompany Ltd [Tag = OurCompany]
Name servers:
ns1.OurCompany.co.uk
ns2.OurCompany.co.uk
Do we need our own nameservers and dedicated server? We've just bought an account with openSRS so we buy our domains through them (if that makes a difference).
A lot of the web hosts I Come across are resellers. This is understandable, but is it possible to find out who they are reselling for? Also, is it possible find out who the registrar of a domain is? I know of whois, but it doesn't seem to tell me the original host/registrar.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just bought a domain from Namecheap and am trying to transfer it to my web-host Reseller Zoom. Namecheap is asking me to provide two nameservers from my web-host to transfer. Do I give Namecheap the two websites(ns1arbi...) or the numbers(207.210...)?

ns2-arbi.nswebhostdotcom

How reasonable are domains which are i8nside hosting packages? Read a lot about this, people mostly saying they should be avoided, but give no real examples, so I do not know whether to get a domain from a host, marblehost.com in particular.
Maybe someone here has corresponding experience, maybe some second-hand at least?
my previous experience has been shared all the time, and the domain is hosted with the same hosting company as the site.
1. if i have a vps, do i still need companies like godaddy to host my domain or i can just install my own domain name server to do this?
2. if i can do above. how to transfer the domain from the previous company to my dns server? if i want to register a new domain name, who do i apply to?
Sorry if this is off-topic but im registering a domain with godaddy
is it possible to register even if i dont have hosting yet?
It says:
"One or more of the nameservers you entered are either blank or incorrect. Please reenter your nameservers below. OR Park my names at GoDaddy"
What does it mean to park my names at godaddy?
I just recently switched from a shared hosting to a vps hosting. And I'm a bit confused on how to transfer my domain name to the VPS host. When I signed up I choose the option "Transfer my domain to here" Is there anything else I need to do? Or I just wait for it to be transfered after i supply the auth code? Sorry this is my first time using a vps type hosting.

Do not go with web hosting for domain name registration. I have seen a lot of people were scammed in this way.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to buy a domain from Godaddy.com and host on a free webhost, that works really great. But I don't wanna get this problem when you visit the forum ->>> mydomain.com, I want it like this ->>> mydomain.com/forum/ and forum/index.php and all that stuff, so you can visit a thread directly.
But in my experiences before, I just got the mydomain.com, even if I visited the forum or an another page. Should I put the DNS or what to get the godaddy domain to work fine with the free webhost?
I have a domain with a host. Also I have a database with the host. there are tables with considerable data in the database that connect to the domain. I eventually want to end apying for this host and start andn account with another. so the question is: when I transfer a domain, can i transfer a database as well? If so is it likely the host would do this for me or is there some method I would have to learn?
