Domain Name With Remote Hosting
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.

Remote Connection To Domain Fails
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 Quote: <VirtualHost 217.xx.xx.100:80> ServerName foo1.com ServerAlias www.foo1.com ServerAdmin me@foo1.com DocumentRoot /var/www/foo1/ </VirtualHost> I have also setup and applied an ssl certificate to 217.xx.xx.100:443. Now eth0:0 is assigned to 217.xx.xx.101 and used as below Quote: <VirtualHost 217.xx.xx.101:80> ServerName foo2.com ServerAlias www.foo2.com ServerAdmin me@foo2.com DocumentRoot /var/www/foo2/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 217.xx.xx.101:80> ServerName foo3.com ServerAlias www.foo3.com ServerAdmin me@foo3.com DocumentRoot /var/www/foo3/ </VirtualHost> 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.

Remote MySQL 5.0 Hosting
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.

Linux Remote Desktop Hosting
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?

Remote SQL Connect Web Hosting
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.

Anonymous Hosting/domain
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.

Domain And Exchange Hosting
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.

Hosting/Domain Name Reseller
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!

Domain Names And Hosting
I have a domain bought with godaddy.com I have the site hosted on hostultra.com Whenever I put the address in (.com) it stays as the label in the address bar on every page. Is having the hosting and and domain with the same company the only way to make the pages say mysite.com/index.html etc ? Without using masking of course.

Domain Registered But Looking For Hosting
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.

Unlimited Domain Hosting
A while back I had a hosting service prepaid for 2 years...awful. They say I can have unlimited domain hosting. But it turned out I can have subdomains that's what they meant. I think its false advertising. Right now I have a cheap host for $1/month reseller, promise of unlimited domains/bandwidth etc., How is it possible to host unlimited domains? Or is this a concept used by everyone to mean unlimited "subdomains"? how this work? Because I am trying to save cost on hosting and have a reliable service provider. Is it possible in CPanel?

Hosting And Domain Name China
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?)

Good Hosting With Domain Name?
There is too many web hostings from the google search and i don't know which one is good. My situation is i have a web page that is my portfolio. It is made by flash and php. Moreover, there is a blog too.(WordPress - php) Everything is ready but i am considering the web-hosting. What i need is support php and mysql. If possible, i would like it support ASP.net too. (i think it is not too possible for both of them) And i don't really need huge web space...i think 1G is enough and the traffic will not too much too as it is private website. My budge is limited and not too much for a month. I plan to spend less than US$10 per month to get a web-hosting. Also with a domain name too.

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)

Web Hosting Domain
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?

Hosting, Domain And Templates
I'm in a unique position (friend of a business owner) to provide a hosting company between 50 to 1000 new clients who need a domain name, yearly hosting and a 1 or 2 page website that clients can edit and customize to a limited amount (color, main body text and headers and some graphics within body). A basic template with graphics and text would be provided, just need the backend for the clients to customize certain things. I'm new to the hosting scene, so I'm not sure of any exsisting hosts that offer this. I'm sure some of the big hosting companies offer something similar like godaddy. However we are looking for a hosting company that we can recieve residual referral monies from these clients we sign up. I guese if someone offers a reseller account with all these features, then we charge our clients whatever we want. I am just looking at options right now to research and provide suggestions to my partner.

Get A Domain Name With Hosting, Or Separate
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.

Can Your Hosting Address Be Seen When You Forward A Domain?
For example, if I forward my business domain abcproducts.com to my domain where I have my hosting, myname.com, is it possible for people to see where my business domain is forwarding to. Basically, I am doing a business website, but I don't want anyone to be able to see that it actually is forwarding to a folder on my main myname.com where I have my hosting. I am masking it, so it will only show abcproducts.com, but I am wondering if even the "tech saavy" has tools to figure this out. I just don't want anyone to be able to see this. Like, I know how sites like DNSreport.com show all kinds of stuff on the domain. Is there something like this that people can use to see if domains forward?

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

Control Panel For Hosting Only 1 Domain?
I can find my way around linux but I don't know it well enough to administer the server without a control panel... All I really need is to manage basic functions for a single domain like email accounts, dns, backups and also see some visitor stats. Webmin seems to be missing some stuff that I need to do... Cpanel is nice but it's expensive and seems to be designed for a reseller who is going to sell web hosting accounts. All I need is to manage one domain... Am I stuck paying for all the stuff I don't need with cpanel or what are the options?

Domain And Subdomains On Different Hosting Servers
I am about to create a domain for my shoutcast hosting service. Now, I am getting a dedicated server just to host the shoutcasts accounts, and keep on using my actual web hosting company for the new domain website and email support. Also I would like the shoutcast clients IP account to be: server1.mydomain.com So I need to create this subdomain in my shoutcast dedicated server? And what Name Servers should I use for my domain? I wonder, cos to be able to make the website and email I need to give the DNS of my web hosting company, but if I dont use the DNS of the Shoutcast Dedicated Server, would my clients be able to login to their account?

Info To Transfer Domain Out Of IX Hosting
Summary on Issue I have with IX Hosting I am disappointed on the option provide to me by IX webhosting to resolved my issue. Summary: 1. My hosting and domain was handle by a previous staff which is charge to a CC belong to that staff. 2. The staff was fired and he filled a chargeback with his CC without me knowing it on the hosting. 3. Account was then suspended and there isn't anything that I can do about it. Option left for me: 1. Nothing that IX webhosting is able to do beside asking me to recontact my ex staff to contact his bank which is not possible (the case was closed by the bank according to my ex staff when i was able to contact him). 2. Spending another 1 - 2 year time to rebuilt another website to bring in traffic since the url and hosting are frozen by IX webhosting. 3. Filled a complain to complain board and point this problem out to public where an admin or account making payment for URL and hosting can screwed up the company at any one point while hosting with IX webhosting.

Setting Up New Domain With Hosting Package
I ordered a domain from Name and a shared hosting package from Hawk Host. How do I set them up so they work together? I thought all I had to do was add the Hawk Host name servers to my Name account but that doesn't seem to be helping. I don't have any webpages up yet but I do have some files uploaded to be used as a redirect for a game server. The redirect isn't loading properly most of the time and when I type my domain name into a browser my directory won't show up either, just the parking page. I ordered both of these last week.

Two Domain Names For One Hosting Account
I have several domain names and I pay for hosting for each domain name. Each domain name gets little traffic, uses little bandwidth, and little storage space. I would like to pay for hosting once and share the bandwidth and storage space amongst the multiple sites. Do you know of a hosting company that offers this? I suppose it would involve having one hosting account and multiple IP addresses that resolve to different folders in your account?

Domain Name Server (DNS) Hosting On A VPS
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?

Hosting Company Doesn't Respond - Is My Domain Lost
its not actually my domain but the other day an older lady contacted me frustrated because she had lost her login info for her dog kennel site. She tried for over a month to get a hold of the company but no one returns her calls or emails. She contacted me to see if there was anything I could do. The first thing I did was fire off an email and call the number I was given. Left a msg to call me back, waited a few days sent another email and made another phone call...nothing. So I did some sniffing around and found the company had changed names to Black Wire Marketing (from teknon media). So I sent emails to them and made phone calls....it was the same phone system as the previous number. My question is this, is there any protocol for recovering a website or more importantly the domain, if the hosting company has left town? The original site definitely resembles a flyby night reseller setup and not one that had a lot of thought put into it, wreaks of IM (why do IM people think they make good hosting service providers?).

E-mail Hosting, Google Apps And Domain Locking
I've seen that a similar topic was posted earlier today, but I have more specific question. I'm looking for the e-mail only hosting. Requirements: * dedicated IP * SMTP + SSL (TLS) * POP3/IMAP + SSL (TLS) * up to 10 e-mail addresses from various domains * forwarders (10 or more) * 1-5 GB storage * 10 GB bandwidth * budget: the less the better, but I'll pay any reasonable amount of money if the service is good. Basically I need to find a provider at which I can keep my e-mail address once and for all. (I need a few e-mails only, a few forwarders, 100 MB storage and 1 GB bandwidth but I stated more so I don't run out on resources) Is there any significant difference between SSL and TLS or is it all mainly in the proprietary vs open standard? Is there any good reason why not to use Google Apps for this purpose? I've read that some people are concerned about privacy. Is there any pro that can comment on this (privacy issue) and remain objective? One last (dumb?) question. What is the purpose of domain locking? Before AuthCodes were introduced I could see the reason for locking domains, but why would anyone want to lock the domain these days? (and yet I see majority still does) I mean, noone can initiate the transfer without providing AuthCode (can he?) and isn't that alone good enough to keep the domain safe? And if someone manages to gain control to the control panel to read AuthCode then he can easily unlock the domain so I see no additional layer of security.

How Can A Hosting Company Give Away A Free Domain Name For Life
I am just curious, I know that it is a great customer retention hook, but really, and how about unlimited bandwidth? This is my first post on the forum, and I will be asking many more questions as I want to get the inside scoop before I take the reseller plunge. At first glance it seems as though the advertising is throughout the site and not just in the advertisement section. I know it's only $7.95, but for life? I guess if they're paying for 2 years at a time, but month to month there is no way. They would end up with a ton of registered domains, and allot of parked domains. Oh well just thought I would ask.
