please be patient with me, im new to dns technical issues.
What im trying to do is, I have a a web design company that offers hosting for the content we design. Now i have a customer who has a domain name registered through godaddy on their own account. How do i get the website content to appear when a visitor types in the domain name.
My hosting account has a dedicated ip if that makes a difference.
I understand that there may be more ways than one to accomplish this task.
I've got a client using zoneedit.com and their domain.tld is being redirected to the right ip, however, it gets redirected to our main site. but, if you type in domain.tld/index.php its fine.
I have an Ubuntu 8.04 server with 2 nerwork cards eth0 and eth1. I am using only eth0. The server is behind a 2-wire router. I have setup the router with the public IP addresses.
On the server I have setup an IP alias on eth0 as eth0:0. I have 3 domains which i will call foo1.com foo2.com and foo3.com. The server pc is assigned to a static public address on the router as 217.xx.xx.100 this same ip also used to setup the virtual host for foo1.com
When I am on the router I can access all the domains via the browser and can also get FTP, and ssh connection to the server. However when I leave the range of the server and connect to the net via another router, I loose ftp and ssh access to the server as well as not able to browse www.foo1.com. However www.foo2.com and www.foo3.com I can browse.
I recently switched to HostGator, and in order to for me to receive my Formmail/email the techs at HostGator had to set my domain as a remote domain for the mail to leave the server. It works now and I am very happy costumer, I just want to understand what that is exactly.
I'm running a VPS at TekTonic.net and so far I have only one problem. I love TekTonic's services in general, but for some crazy reason, I can't get my MySQL server to work.
I've asked MySQL's support staff, and they haven't found an answer to date. I can do just about anything on my MySQL server EXCEPT add/remove a database, which creates a problem. A BIG problem.
what I'm looking for now is a remote MySQL host that will accept connections from my TekTonic-hosted VPS.
server that will allow me to log into windows XP. I wont be hosting any websites but want it to be like a remote computer. Is this even possible to get?
shared hosting for multiple websites, but I have some specific requirements:
1) Remote connections to a SQL database (using SQLCompare) 2) ASP.NET 2.0 3) A decent control panel to set things like subdomains up
Other features such as disk space aren't as important to me. I'm just having trouble finding any hosting that allows remote connections. Right now I'm using godaddy and it's great... just no remote connections.
I know that Windows RDP Hosting is not a new Idea, but has anyone tried it with Ubuntu. I do have VNC Access to the server, but that only allows me to authenticate with a password, I need username and password.
What would be the best remote application for this?
I have subscribed an account in Powweb but since the Powweb does not allow MySQL remote access I need to find another hosting that allow MySQL remote access.
Wich hosting with MySQL remote access do you know?
I have a certain domain which has linux hosting, but I want to provide a windows hosting for mail purpose for the same. Can I do it by just linking the DNS of the hosting to my domain?
Suppose I purchased a domain name say 'www.myhost.com' from 'enom.com' and i've hosting account with 'godaddy.com'.Now to make 'www.myhost.com' live I have to creat domain name 'myhost.com' on my hosting account and upload the sites content via FTP manager.
My question is - Can I creat domain name 'my-host.com' or ''myhost1.com' in my hosting account and point contents to 'www.myhost.com'? Or in other words-
Do domain name and hosting account created domain need to be same?(www.myhost.com & myhost.com , in this case)
I just got hosting with a company called Netfirms (netfirms.com), and I gave it my domain name(destinyislands.com) that I purchased from godaddy. However, destinyislands.com will not redirect to the actual pages that I have uploaded to netfirms. The only page that will work is destinyislands.netfirms.com(a crappy subdomain). I just signed up about 30 minutes ago, so maybe I need to wait for the domain to register into the system, but I feel like I got ripped off. Anybody have any idea of if I just need to wait, and then the regular domain will work?
I need to make a dns hosting for a client of mine. He will change his domain name nameservers to point to my server.
His website is hosted on another hosting company. On my server I will create all the necessary CNAME and A records to point www on the server of the other company.
My problem is with the MX records though. Because my client owns a local mailserver, (I think it's MS Exchange server) I need to create a primary MX record to deliver all the mails to that mailserver. No problem till here.. But he also needs a secondary MX record in case his mailserver is inaccessible ,so all the mails have to be queued on my VPS and when his mailserver is accessible again to deliver all the mails.
Any idea of how I can configure my dns zones for that?
I would like to host 1 domain with 2 servers. How would i get both servers to have the same info on them. I have 2 servers and I only have the intended need to host 1 website. How would I do that?
about anonymous hosting/domain registration. I've been a web developer for a while and just started building a site for a friend of mine overseas. He wants everything to be completely anonymous due to the nature of the site (steroids).
Now I'm pretty sure I got it figured out but it seems too easy. Offshore domain registration with a prepaid card/ offshore web hosting the same way. My guy says he wants everything as anonymous as possible and is already hooked up to the Tor network with Privoxy.
I'm currently with 1and1 - obviously they suck - no need to belabor that here. I've been resisting a hosting switch, but the outages are more and more frequent, and my website is my livlihood. Need recommendations for web/MySql hosting and also hosting for a single Exchange account. Does not have to be the same company. Price is not a huge issue - I'm willing to pay for quality. Requirements are basic; about 3-5 GB of file storage, SQL 4 and 5, linux server. Shared server is fine. Any recommendations? Don't really trust the "review" sites.
Some kind of moving assistance/support would be GREAT. I've managed to muddle through and set all this stuff up over the years, but am not at all confident of my ability to move it all without screwing up. Includes 3 active databases, several sites, SSL cert (currently purchased through 1&1 but it looks like they farmed it out to geotrust), and exchange mailbox.
I am stuck between GoDaddy and HostGator for reseller account. What I want is to offer my client to host their site I design on my hosting service but I also want to offer reseller program on other site.
Here are the problems:
GoDaddy have good automatic system, but it won't let me have the freedom to have access into my client's cpanel to upload or update their website unless they have to give me their username and password. GoDaddy requires me to purchase reseller and SUPER reseller package if I want to run two websites.
GatorHost offers me to manage WHM and Cpanel for my clients which is good. They also have ENOM for me to be domain dealer. The negative thing about Gatorhost is that I have to use one of their free template, if I need one, but their templates sucks! And I do not know how to tailor my own website with their WHM automated billing system.
What do you suggest and where can I find a good hosting template to edit. I just wish that GatorHost have automatic system with better template!
Just purchased a domain name and looking for hosting. Spent the last 2 nights reading reviews/complaints, but do not know which are genuine. Too many companies too pick from. Do not know which ones are good or to aviod.
I had a website with webhostingpad, but they couldn't get my webmail to work, so I cancelled. Apart from that, the service wasn't bad. Now hunting for a new web host.
Newbie, so don't need such big resources. Website is to promote a home school. A few pics and webmail that works is all I need. Site builder would be good too. Budget: about $5 a month. Location: Japan.
I've read articles that said it's generally bad to use the domain registrar as the hosting company(forgot the reason though)Right now I have some domains in Goddady and 1and1, and have a Hostgator account. I am thinking about just using Goddady's hosting service so I only need to manage my Goddady and 1and1 accounts instead of managing 3 accounts.
I am going to use Wordpress.org to build the sites
I want to change the hosting to xyz.com from abc.com. .. what is required. I have changed the dns but now i get server not found on abc.com. what else is defined?
For my future Chinese Bonsai website I am considering several options for hosting and domain names. Until now I have a US and an Amsterdam hosting (English version in the US and the Dutch, French and German in Amsterdam).
As the Chinese version will be non-political I think I prefer to host it in mainland China. Does anyone here knows a good webhosting that is not too cheap? I need 100Mb and some GB's (I guess under 5GB should be ok) of bandwidth.
Furthermore, I am not sure what domain name to choose. I have 4 options:
1. the name in pinyin (normal text) .com 2. the name in pinyin .cn 3. the name in Chinese characters .com 3. the name in Chinese characters .cn
If I choose to take a .com, would it matter to have this domain name registered in the US? This is cheaper than in China I think; however, it is important to me that the website is seen by Baidu as 100% Chinese (does it matter where a domain name is registered?)
