I am having a reseller hosting with a host. This host provides private DNS. Hosting provider remains Anonymous. So when some one search for whois they will not know I am running a reseller hosting biz.
Now I am planning to change the hosting provider to another one who provides higher capacity and higher bandwidth but they will not provide DNS. I need to use their DNS.
How do I provide get a my own DNS so that host remains Anonymous?
I have a dedicated server which I need to migrate all sites to a reseller account on a different host. It comes down to 6 sites that I must not lose any emails.
On the source server, I have full access to it. It's CentOS, WHM, cPanel, etc. On the destination reseller account (downtownhost), I have access to WHM, and individual cPanel. But I can't see any transfer or restore options on the WHM, though on the individual cPanel account, I see a restore option which states:
Quote:
This feature allows you to restore parts of your cPanel by uploading your partial backup zip file(s) that you downloaded from the backup feature.
The following can be restored:
* Home Directory * MySQL Databases * Email forwarders configuration * Email filters configuration
My plan is so far:
1) Generate a full backup for each site on the source server.
2) Create the accounts on the destination reseller account. (Is it possible before I update the IP of the nameserver to point to the new server?)
3) Restore the sites with this wizard I mentioned above in each cPanel.
4) Change the nameserver host IP to the new server.
5) Hold my fingers and bless every living creature for a smooth move.
if I could do this any better, trying not to lose any emails in the process.
I just bought a new dedicated server, set the nameserver to ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com, and have moved all accounts from my reseller to my new dedicated server.
Now, the reseller account still has 10 months before expired. Can I use it for something like ns3.mydomain.com and ns4.mydomain.com?
So, for example for A user, I want to put him on my reseller server, tell him to point his domain to ns3 and ns4, but for B user I want to put him to my dedicated server, and tell him to point his domain to ns1 and ns2. Is this possible?
Or, is there any other thing, I can make my reseller account useful?
Dedicated Server Resellers - Do you prefer to apply private labeling when marketing your services or do you let your customers know you are a reseller of "xyz" products and services?
We have about 3 resellers on one server and all of a sudden, when I log in to whm and click "Show Reseller Accounts", all accounts show under root.. What's even strager, is that under package colum, it says "undefined"
However, when I click "list accounts", all accounts show and they are properly setup up with the correct package and owner (not all root.. They also show to which reseller they belong).
how to fix the problem when I click "Show Reseller Accounts"?
I'm not sure if I posting in the right section, but I have two questions.
1. I'm actually not sure if I should purchase a reseller account. I don't know if it's what I need. I would like to able to provide *free hosting* for fan-sites, blogs, fanlistings, etc. I am not interested in making money off of hosting. This is something I've wanted to for awhile. Are there any suggestions for this?
2. Once thing that popped into my head is that I would like give my hostees more than FTP access. Can I give them their own cPanel access with their FTP account? I've been hosted on starszz.com before as sub-domain (or ftp account), and had cPanel access. I didn't have a domain either. I've browsed hosting sites, and I just don't recall seeing information about giving ftp accounts cPanel access.
I am currently on the Bronze Shared plan at Downtownhost. I love 'em, and have referred people to them before. I currently help out have a few clients that I help out with some Wordpress blogs (the technical side of things), and I have recently been asked a couple of times if I know of a good host. Of course, I send them to DTH, but I recently asked myself if maybe it was time to go reseller with them and sell space to these clients? Or should I just sell them some space out of my own shared plan? Mind you, they are not technical at all, so they won't be logging into any Cpanel control panels or anything. At what point does it make sense to go reseller? My question is regards to all aspects: financial (for me!), technical, support, etc.
I am designing websites for diffrent folks for some years now from time to time and it's time for me to move on. Get more clients and so on and monetize everything or as much as i can. Well, providing for them full services witch consists in Hosting + domain registration + all there is. Since most of them have no idea about anything when they come to me, most don't even after hard explaining, i wanna cut down to 1 fee that includes everything...designing, updating,
In the past few days i've seen tones of reviews and offers and re re reviews, i can say by know that it's a dirty game going on played by some managers, lol...the idea is that i can't trust what they say nor the reviews that i have seen cause in one place it's all milk and honey and in another place it's sucky to say the least.
So my buget to start with would be from 10$ to 20$/month. I prefer a host that owns it's stuff and it's the first hand and not a re re re seller.
I want cPanel/WHM - unlimited accounts (domains, sub-domains, bla bla bla...basic stuff)
No tax for transferring domains
No hidden taxes - no scammers pls cause i have enough already in my life MONTHLY PAYMENT
To be able to get ip's for a fair price from diffrent classes. I'm planning to make an extra income from blogg farming (no spam from servers. got my own stuff)
I see that reseller and VPS are kind of the same price so what would be better. I have limited knowledge of unix (i used to work some years ago but my skills were crapy and surley i forgot everything) but i can update/upgrade them to some point...hope it won't be required, don't have so much time nor the brains
I'm currently on a reseller, and as I gain clients I'll be moving to a VPS in the very near future from the looks of it.
Coming from a reseller where I haven't had any performance spikes, and everything has been working great....what sort of specs should I look for in a VPS in terms of RAM?
I like using cPanel/WHM.
As far as shared hosting, and reseller hosting the main aspects are simply space and bandwidth. Then of course the company ethics and support reliablility and whatnot. From a server aspect, it's just space and bandwidth provided.
I'm assuming a VPS adds a few new dimensions including RAM.
I had setup and account for the new free host i was making.I setup the domain then made the site and last i want to do a test:to create a sub domain user with cpanel access.
But couldn't access it.As it seems I didnt make it a reseller account!
So,I looked like an hours and cant find a function to make it into one without deleting it first! Is there any other way?
We have set up a VPS reseller option that gives the customer a set amount of ram/disk space/bandwidth transfer rate etc. and allows them through HyperVM to set up their own VPS's and sell them on, they are even able to spread them over multiple servers, albeit we only have 2 VPS servers at present.
Its a pretty nice offer and seems pretty decent but i cant help but wonder why other hosts are not doing this? I only looked into it because a sales associate had mentioned it was possible.
Is there a potential for abuse that im not seeing?
The plans i was thinking of offering was roughly: 1GB ram 30-40 GB disk space Fair share bandwidth for about $100
The servers we have are 8GB quad core Xeon E7300.
i am thinking i am overlooking some kind of abuse issue that is why no other hosts are providing this,
After having shared hosting for years I am thinking of moving on to something a little more reliable/advanced. I need it to be basic and cheap at first but with room to grow.
So, my questions:
1. Am I likely to see a significant speed/reliability benefit with VPS over reseller space?
2. Am I likely to encounter any big headaches with a VPS as a total beginner?
3. Are there any big advantages to a VPS besides moving out of a shared environment?
4. Is it realistic to run a VPS when I know nothing about Linux admin (yet)?
5. How is Plesk vs Cpanel?
Right now, my needs are basic. I could probably go with a cheap VPS but my lack of knowledge would mean I would need some kind of management on top. I'm tempted to get a reseller account but I wouldn't want outgrow it and move again anytime soon.
So I've got a reseller account set up with about 71 individual accounts created under it. What's the easiest way to create a backup of the reseller account (including all accounts created under it) and send it to my new VPS? I have SSH enabled on the reseller and root access on the VPS.
Rsync seems somewhat intimidating but maybe I'm looking at it all wrong. I have limited command line experience. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me? I'd like to have a method that I can get familiar with and re-use.
I am looking for a web host. I'd like to stay away from resellers, but I'm not sure how to tell if a company is a reseller or the 'original'. How do you find out?
