I am building a website for a client in Thailand. Normally I recommend all clients to Dreamhost but am not sure what to do for my Thai customer. Billing and customer support should be in thai (eventhough they speak English well enough).
But I am having trouble finding a reputable company in Thailand. What should I do? Where should I turn?
I live in Australia and a lot of my websites get their base traffic from the United States; therefore I have a dedicated server in the United States.
In a few months I will be developing a website that is mainly for Australians. I'm wondering if it would be better to seek Australian hosting just for this site or just put it on my dedicated server in the U.S.
Personally I don't really notice the difference in load times between websites hosted in different countries but it may add up in the long run.
The reason I am leaning towards the U.S dedicated server option is that I have full control over the server. (i.e what php modules and extensions are loaded).
I built a server that I'm sending to a DC in Sweden soon, and I'm wondering about the logistics of sending a server overseas, is there anything I need to know about in terms of dealing with customs etc?
I have a site to do for someone but I have just realized they do not have hosting set up.
Every time I have done sites, they already had hosting.
What shall I do? Because they expect me to organize their hosting so I am confused. All I know or can guess is, it is a media site so bandwidth will be high.
I'm trying to make the best recommendation for a client who has some complicated needs.
They are a university that has opened a public policy and educational office in the national capital.
I do not forsee a substantial amount of traffic being generated on the site - something a simple hosting package from ICDSoft should be able to handle.
However, there are three issues that complicate matters:
1) They may actually have huge spikes in traffic. They anticipate occasional mention in the national TV/radio media and in these cases, they don't want their site to buckle.
2) They do some audio and four video podcasts a month. They have around 50 viewers of each right now (not too substantial) but if they become successful, that number could increase by a lot.
My initial thinking was to try to host these on an outside service - even a free one - like OurMedia.
3) They want to send out email newsletters. Right now they have 850 subscribers for the list for the new location, but as people visit the site, they will sign up more.
I presume they will want to have the email's originate from the same location that the @[url] is to prevent being marked as spam, right? So, if they were to use constantcontact, emails would be from @constantcontact. But if they wanted it to be from their @[url].edu, we would need to send them from the .edu's own SMTP server, right?
I have thought about the 'cloud computing' thing - does that scale up automatically or not?
I also want to know from ICDSoft how much concurrent bandwidth/connections I can get simultaneously (is that the right way to word the question to them?)
What is the best way to transfer the cost of webhosting to a client?
What I'm trying to establish is for instance, if you design a website and offer to set-up the hosting for them for say, an inital 2-year period, how do you go about getting them to pay for the hosting after the 2 years has expired? The same obviously applies to a domain right?
I want to get on my own ded server for free hosting and have it fully managed by the provider e.g. they have the capability to look for spammers/hackers/phishers/ etc while I'll be on my marry way providing free hosting. Is there such a provider? Any recommendations?
My information: I have my photography site (sfxphoto.com) currently being hosted as my main site (site contents are located inside of the publichtml folder). I also have my photo retouching site (elite-retouch.com) being hosted as a sub-domain under the main site (which has it's own folder inside of the publichtml folder). I'm being hosted through InfluxHost on a Linux server.
My Dilemma: For the photo retouching site, I want to be able to give my clients their OWN FTP access to a designated potion of the server.
So, lets say my client upload directory is "publichtml/eliteretouch.com/client_ftp". I then want to be able to make a folder for (we'll call him) client_a inside of the "/client_ftp" folder. So the full directory to THAT clients specific folder will be: "publichtml/eliteretouch.com/client_ftp/client_a"
How can I: 1) ...set their specific FTP to open to their directory only?
2) ...ensure that they cannot navigate to other folders on my server?
3) ...make it so that the login information doesn't carry the MAIN site name, but the sub-domain site name instead?
I have a server setup and running shared hosting perfectly. I duplicated one of the plans and just set it to DEDICATED IP. This is for users that will be requiring SSL.
I then went into my panel settings and added in all the additional ip's. It even says in the panel listing "6 dedicated ip's available".
Yet, when I try to re-run the task for provisioning it constantly fails with the message:
Unable to create hosting. Ip address does not exist in client's pool ....
Me and my friend have purchased Web Hosting and we can get in through FTP Clients like Filezilla or WinSCP but we'd like to integrate it directly into the Windows File System, so that we can search through files.
We basically want to be able to share and collaborate work together
I've got cPanel 11.24.5-R37127 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9 CENTOS 4.7 i686 standard on server
A hosted client suddenly can't log in to her cpanel. I can login just fine with her user/pass and another gal can too. But she can't. She says it just keeps asking for the password over and over.
I had her clear her cache and cookies, and reboot her pc, but that did no good at all.
I like to know is there any open source mail client that i can install for my site (e.g. mail.xxx.com) so i can access my email which is created using cpanel.
At the moment i access going through Mail in Mac OSX and when I'm not home through cPanel.
I got a problem where mine is stuck acquiring an IP. I have a 64bit OS so I have to use Vmware 32bit os to use the program and my firewall is setup to be open for that particular VM but still it cant grab an IP. Ive left it enabled for around 30 mins it doesn't time out or stop or error. Someone else uses it who is in another location and was in the system yesterday so I'm not sure if she had any issues but said she had no problem getting in so it must be my setup.
I'm trying to set up netscape as my mail client and set ingoing/outgoing server info to mail.mysite.com but there is always a message "connection to mail.mysite.com timed out." anytime i try to read a message.
My company runs an extremely successful ecommerce website but we are currently unhappy with our current provider for reasons I will not list here. We are looking to move to a carrier neutral location (possible switch and data because it is in the same building) or other options are Equinix and?.
The problem is going from one provider and a /29 to trying to balance two or three providers. No one is going to do bgp with someone only using three ips. We have 2 cabinets with 40 servers (60u total) but most everything is nat'd.
What options are available? Management wants 99.999% uptime (yes i know unrealistic) but downtime is lost $$$ when 100% of sales come from the web. They are willing to pay to keep downtime at a minimum. Multiple data centers around the country is planned for later in 2008 or early 2009. Server cost is not the problem but making the website and back end databases work in a multiple data center environment is the problem.
Any suggestions? Is Internap a possibility? During my searches here at WHT, I seem to see either Equinix, Server Central, or SteadFast mentioned as the favorites. Pricing looks fine at Server Central and it looks like they may have their own network. Steadfast pricing is cheaper but the amount of outages in the outage forum scares me.
i am using tomcat server and am running a web application. I am trying to capture the clients ipaddress who ever are accessing my server. i used the method request.getRemoteAddr() .but i see always 127.0.0.1 instead of the clients ip address.i tried accessing my server from different machines having different ip address but my logs show me 127.0.0.1.
i guess something is wrong with my tomcat configuration.
I just had a client whose hosting account was automatically suspended due to him not paying the hosting bill. He opened up a ticket and asked why his site is suspended. I informed him that he didn't pay the bill and the system suspended it automatically. I told him that the system generated e-mails as well and he said he didn't get them while I looked in WHCMS, it said it DID get sent to him. Client said his website was DDOS'd because it used 3 GB of BW in one month and i told him there was no DDOS attack. The kind of site he had (100+ users online at one time, vBulletin forum), it was common to use that much.
The client is now saying that he is going to hack attempt the servers to see if they are DDOS Protected or not. Of Course, my servers are protected (WiredTree), so should I be worried?
His quote:
Quote:
I'LL TEST TO SEE IF YOU HAVE DDOS PROTECTION...TIME TO GATHER MY HACKING BUDDYS.
Also, I have notified WiredTree about this just right now.
I have SSL enabled site on IIS.I want to access it from my PocketPC(Win mobile).But when I try access it, I have been prompted to install a certificate.
Unlike when I try to any HTTPS site (Banking sites) I have never been prompted to install any certificate.
Why am I being prompted with security message with "Yes,No,View certificate" options on it every time I try to access my own server(desktop) via my WIN mobile using active sync. Unlike When I try to access banking site(https) I was never ever prompted a mesage like above.
How to have same functionality for my application also?
