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?)
.CN - Domain names for China (irist.com), is now just $12.99
With China's recent accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) the economy there is taking great strides towards global accessibility. .cn offers registrants the protection of a well-established brand name in what is certain to become one of the most lucrative marketplaces in the world, and begin making inroads into the Chinese marketplace.
I currently live in China and as most businesses in China do, they host outside of China because of the severe requirements of hosting in China are time consuming to accomplish.
I am currently hosting with godaddy.com and have been happy with them until now. This is the 2nd time my site has been blocked because my site is on a server with a porn site. They switched to a different server once now they refuse to do it again. I also suggested they offer porn-free servers (I would be willing to pay more) but they refused.
Now, I noticed that even godaddy.com is blocked from China. I really think they are missing out on Many business opportunities in China by not offering porn-free servers.
As you might know if you read my other thread I'm often looking for VPS servers (at the moment Linux only), based around the world.
This weeks challenge for me is a china/hong kong based VPS, nothing too fancy, its only going to be used for small websites and as a proxy service for when we run ranking reports for our SEO clients.
Requirements - English support if possible, although we do have some Chinese speakers in house. - 128mb ram, 2gb disk space, 20gb transfer/mo - CentOS 5 preferred, but any system with a working Yum or similar will do.
Budget up to €30 a month, but could go higher if i had to.
Payment -for various reasons we cannot use paypal at the moment, so even if its just paypal credit card processing they won't let us use it. This is something we are looking to solve but its not my dept so i'm stuck with it.
- We can pay by Visa Credit or Visa Debit cards, and if we really had to, bank transfer, but I'm told transfers to china are sometimes very tricky to get right.
I have had a look through the VPS offers forum but most of the china-related posts are from 2006 or so and so aren't relevant anymore.
This works on my site. But for some reason I still get the occasional IP's through.
I looked at my Lighttpd server-status and I have 600 connections from 3 different IPs that come from China.
I typically use ./route add -host 222.221.81.3 reject as the way to block them, but it changes from time to time. The Chinese are using 90mbps of bandwidth and I want it to stop as they must be directly hotlinking my content.
How to null route large blocks from China? Please note I want to keep Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
My customers are complaining that my web site is extremely slow in China. But I have never received any complain from outside China (I have talked to non-China users).
What could be the reason behind this? Or how can I find the root cause?
I'm trying to get a full rack co-location services in China or Hong Kong. Co-location in Singapore is starting to get expensive... Per additional 1 Mbps cost about USD 150 onwards. It's not feasible for us anymore.
Anyone has any suggestions which countries is better? And from which IDC? So far Asia Netcom and China Telcom seems to be the better choice. No 2 tier suppliers, e.g. Pacific Internet, they get their co-location from the above too.
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?
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.
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?
