A client of mine just recently asked for a new IP. His subscription near to expiry date.
He considering to renew but only will renew if I can give him a new IP. Not to buy another but instead a new IP to replace the old one. If it helps, he use the vps of his to run proxy, a socks proxy perhaps.
I am familiar with proxies and have quite an experienced running several group of successful proxies thus asking for an IP probably means his old IP is more than 50% blocked.
I have a client on a dedicated IP, today we needed to downgrade the web hosting plan. As the web hosting plan puts users on a default shared IP, this plan change also changed the dedicated IP to the shared one causing some propagation issues for a small period of time.
I have contacted WHMCS about this asking if they had a way of changing the clients plan but keeping the IP address intact as this could lead to some very undesirable outcomes. They explained that it is not their fault and to contact Parallels.
I know I can change the plan directly in Plesk however by initiating the plan change via WHMCS, everything is automated.
Has anyone helped clients transition from one domain to another? Maybe dissolving a partnership or renaming their company... so a new domain name has been registered and a new website created.
2 Issues:
#1 Using .htaccess 301 redirect We used the following command line in their old website's htaccess file
Redirect 301 / [url]
The goal was to get people try to visit any page of their old website (i.e. OldWebsite.com/contact.html) redirected to their new website (i.e. NewWebsite.com/contact.html). Isn't that supposed to change the address bar's URL, too? For some reason, I visit their old site and I seem to be redirected to their new website but the address bar still has their old domain name? Something is going on???
#2 Having their new company name for 2 years now. People can enter her new company name in Google, MSN or Yahoo. Her new company name appears in the search results but has the old domain name associated with it. We are trying to get rid of any reference to that old domain name? What's the easiest way to do this? So what people see in search engines is:
New Company Short Meta Description www.OldDomain.com
What steps did I miss in this transition?
What steps do I have to take on their old website/old web server to control it's appearance on search engines and make sure people get to the new website?
We are moving to a new rack at our DC. Now the IP addresses will change. BUT.. we have a mailserver running, and all users are pointed at the current name "mailserver.domain.com" which itself is pointing to the old IP.
So far so good...
BUT we need to move that server to the new rack, and so we need to change the IP. But if we change the IP in the DNS, it will take till 24 hours for all the providers to propogate the new IP. For those users, the mailserver will be offline.
How can we fix that properly? So that no-one has any serious downtime?
root@linux [~]# lynx -dump [url] Your ip is: 10.20.30.40 i want to change this ip to: 10.20.30.41 when i execute: lynx -dump [url] i dont know how to do it.
One of my clients are wanting to use a 3rd party spam screening service, which is supposed to only require a change of their MX entry, but it's not working for me.
When I change the MX, and send a message to the account, I get the following message kicked back at me.

I know this has something to do with my mail server only trying to send the message once, and not again. I'm setup with RHEL w/cPanel.

I am teetering on the edge of over using my shared account and have decided it is time to move on to a VPS. This has been a long time coming, but the economy has held me back and now I am running out of options. I have looked at several hosts and just wanted some recommendations. Since this is the first time to run a VPS, I assume a managed VPS is better for me. I am currently looking at KnownHost.com and VPS.net since they are both well reviewed here. I would just like recommendation on what to consider based on my wants.
I do not need much horse power behind the server as I have just pushed passed 20meg of ram at my current host; about max for them. I need a LAMP setup (PHP5, MySQL 5) for 4-5 sites of which only two get any real traffic, the others are just family blogs.
So this is what I think I need, please feel free to make suggestions on hosts or other considerations.
I need a host that can change the php.ini for me. I'm pretty sure no shared hosting would do that. so I'm looking for a VPS option. can you pls advise me if a VPS host would change the php.ini for me ?
and then tried to delete the old nameservers . Removing Nameserver Ip 11.11.112.11 The ip 11.11.112.11 is now ready for re-use as a different nameserver
then i click on nameservers and i see old ones again :/
what i done was change it in /etc/nameserverips
again when i click on whm / Nameserver IPs I see old nameservers!

The permission of bin/sh in my Plesk + Linux system is 777 , is it necessary to change? If so , what is the potential danger and to what permission state it must be changed?
You are hosting your web site on a local server and you have the DNS pointing to the LOCAL (read: not public) IP on your LAN which means only you and those on your LOCAL network can access the site.
i have a dedicated server, (free hosting company) that most of my clients use free forums that arent compatible for mysql5 so i need the latest version of mysql4 can i just install mysql 4 too?
I currently have a dedicated server at volumedrive and want to transfer my site over. I have the following setting but not sure why it doesn't work.
On the WHM, I have:
Main >> Server Configuration >> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup
Main Shared Virtual Host IP........................12.345.67.89 (IP from the new host) Hostname....................................................server.mysite.com Primary Namserver.....................................ns1.mysite.com Secondary Nameserver..............................ns2.mysite.com ___________________________________________
Main >> Networking Setup >> Hostname Current Hostname..............................server.mysite.com ____________________________________________
Main >> Networking Setup >> Nameserver IPs
Ip 12.345.67.89 ns1.mysite.com 12.345.67.99 ns2.mysite.com ________________________________________
Main >> Networking Setup >> Resolver Configuration
At the registrar godaddy, I have the existing name server set as ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com from prior server already. what other setting do I have to do to make my site working properly ?
I'm using wsftp checking permissions in domain.net in this directory: /public_html/mambots/content/plugin_jw_sig
through wsftp i saw chmod 755 but when i try to delete this directory appears with 550 and i can't delete it
So i used File Manager tool in Cpanel, selected directory to erase it, seems like was done, but when i refresh page the directory it's still there, so i try to change permissions because apparently it has 755 but i can't do anything with it, so when i click button to change permission i got an error message [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]
Then i go trough wsftp to check again and this directory it's still there
I'm guessing it's a no but if I start a VPS and it starts to eat ram or I think it needs more CPU can I just increase it? I'm talking about using OpenVZ.
I decided to change my SSH port. I red an Article about it.
Quote:
At command prompt type: pico /etc/ssh/sshd_config Scroll down to the section of the file that looks like this: Code: #Port 22 #Protocol 2, 1 #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 #ListenAddress ::
Uncomment and change #Port 22 to look like Port 5678 (choose your own 4 to 5 digit port number (49151 is the highest port number) Uncomment and change
#Protocol 2, 1 to look like Protocol 2 Save file and restart SSH
And I do all step. I change Port 22 to port 8443 . But Now I cannot loging to root via port 8443 . WHy?
