I currently have one blog on wordpress (a sub domain like name.wordpress.com).
I want to purchase a domain and also move it to a paid host. I am not really technically knowledgeable to do this. Have visited a few step by step guides but find them quite confusing.
guide to do the move/transfer of the blog, more for a beginner? And by the way is it simple to do or actually more for a professional?
I am hosting a Wordpress blog that currently uses 30GB of bandwidth per month. I want to introduce a forum as well so will probably need 50GB per month for now. But would like it expandable to 100GB in the future.
My requirements are:
No hidden CPU Limitations/No unreasonable resource usage restrictions.
Equipped to handle large surges of traffic.
No Overselling, able to use full allocation.
AND PROBABLY:
LiteSpeed - Does it really make a difference?
I have looked at MediaLayer, but they only provide upto 50GB transfer.
SecureServerTech looks good but uptime is only around 99%
At the moment Steadfast Networks looks the best.
My budget will be $20 for 50GB tranfer and $40 for 100GB of transfer, but this is not fixed and I would prefer quality over price.
Control panel does not mater but uptime does.

I am hosting my wordpress blog on a web hosting that is not that reliable as it go down once in a while for few hours without any prior notification of sheduled maintenance.
However, i have a question. How do i migrate a wordpress blog with everything intact.. data, information, application, plugins, graphics and domain name?
I'm getting this 406 error in my blog. I read about this and learned that this error is related to Apache mod called "mod_security".
I tried to turn it off for my site using .htaccess file by
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
But it didn't work. So how to get this sort this out ?
Asking Hosting provider to turn it off is out of question .Already asked but they don't want ( can't blame them )
I have a couple of blogs with domain names I already purchased through GoDaddy.com and I currently update them through Wordpress. I am looking to upgrade my blog accounts for CSS and I need a host that I can use to install Wordpress. I've heard great things about Host Gator and I just want to make sure it will work for me and see if anyone has suggestions about which plan I should use.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been hosting my membership website on one of my accounts on my reseller account at ResellerZoom and it's an absolute joke. The membership website is running on Wordpress 2.7.
The error message 'Internal Server Error' is CONSTANTLY coming up even though my membership website only has ONE member adding, editing and changing the site. This has been going on for 2 months now and there is NO WAY I can open my site to anyone else whilst this is going on.
I have the following plugins running and have tried it without ANY of these running and still had problems.
- Audio player (adds player for mp3 files)
- Contact form 7 by Takayuki Miyoshi
- Gravatar
- Limit posts plugin by [url]Blog Archives Limit Posts Plugin?
- Wishlist Member by [url]
- Wordpress Backup Plugin Il Filosofo WordPress Database Backup
The only response I've got from ResellerZoom is:
Resellers may not use more than 2% CPU daily, 3% memory daily, run more than 10 simultaneous processes per user, allow any process to run for longer than 30 CPU seconds, run any process that consumes more than 20% of available CPU at any time, or run any process that consumes more than 16 MB of memory. Databases are limited to 16 max user connections with a max query time of 8 seconds. Cron jobs must not execute more than once every 15 minutes and will be niced to 15 or greater.
So it looks like I need to move..
I just need a shared webhosting account perhaps? That will support MySQL connections with Wordpress!
Basically I installed wordpress in the same mysql as forum... but wordpress uses different username to connect to it. I wonder if there is any security risk associated with this, like would it be better to move out wordpress on to a different db? what about speed? what if my forum receives allot of mysql usage?

How do we test a wordpress site if the testing URL does not allow us to see the pages and posts?
I have just made a personal website using photoshop, html, css and php. My site contains an index page, a gallery page with 8 photos, a contact page with a form and an extra page with some quotes. I am planning to use a paid host for the first time. Based on feedbacks from some of my sitepoint friends, I decided to go in for shared hosting. I thought of using Hostdogs.com as they have the option of a monthly billing cycle. I thought that I have the option of changing my host after a month if I am not happy with them. I have also read a lot about Hostgator.com. A lot of sitepoint members seem hooked to it.
1. Can anyone give an opinion as to which host I should go in for? Hostdogs also give a free domain. Is there any reason I should go in for Hostgator instead of Hostdogs?
2. One more question, I have heard that once I have a site running, I can earn money through the advertisements placed on it? How do I place advertisements on my site?
3. One last and very important question is whether it is right to go in for shared hosting at this point of time. I just read this
Quote:
When you look for a suitable host, be sure to check out the amount of bandwidth that will be available to your site. Even a site that doesn't require a great deal of data transfer per month could run slowly if you're hosted on a shared server; particularly if you are on the same server as a more popular or bandwidth-intensive site.
The more sites hosted on a server, the more likely they are to compete with each other for available resources, including bandwidth. This is why you may notice a reduction in server response times during busy periods, or during a sudden peak in traffic at a busier site on a server that you share.
This made me wonder whether I should go in for shared hosting. But then mine is a personal home page which may not have so much of traffic.
4. What does the paragraph below mean? How does one handle ones registration manually?
Self-Management (no cost)
Select this option if you prefer to handle your registration manually.Your web host can establish service with any Top-Level Domain (TLD), international or domestic.
how much disk space and bandwidth would be needed to run a single Wordpress blog. I'm not a popular name, so I doubt I will have too many viewers besides my closest friends. In addition, I tend to make layouts which are a "teensy-bit" graphic-heavy :p
Is 2GB (disk space) and 30GB (bandwidth) supposedly enough?
with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?
I recently had issues with HostGator and left them and now I am with MediaTemple... They are absolute crap. My site goes down with "sql errors" every day and it is pathetic.
What is the most cost effective host with the best speed and uptime for my blog?
I am an asp.net developer and want to host my blog. Which hosting provider will be ideal for asp.net blog? I have also seen that some of hosting providers provide blog hosting for blogengin.net or dasblog, should I go for them or should I go for the blog engine that I have built my self?

Wordpress is becoming more and more integrated with Plesk which makes it quite easy to setup a new domain for someone and install Wordpress so he can start.
Often this Wordpress site has to be developed and a better looking site is already available.
By default Wordpress installs in a subfolder /wordpress (I know you can change it by choosing "custom install"). After a while that website is ready for publishing.
To move that website I will have to move the running site to a subfolder and then move the content of /wordpress to the root. This is not sufficient. I then have to do a search and replace on the /wordpress and wordpress/ and replace it with /
No problem there....
But then I have lost Wordpress from the Plesk interface.....
What's the most elegant way to move a Plesk managed Wordpress site?
I don't mind if it stays in its folder (maybe preferrable?), as long as the user doesn't see that "/wordpress" in its URL.
I am looking for a cheap host that will allow adult orientated discussions and advertising. There wont be any actual porn on the site or at least not hosted on the account.
I was looking at a small orange and it looks like they allow light adult material but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
So I signed up for their $5.95 blog package this week. And since then, my site [url]has been down 3 times because of 500 server error. It takes them about an hour to fix it each time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any shared host which can easily drive a wordpress blog with 100,000-150,000 unique visitors every month?
The blog in question has wp-supercache and is quite a bit tweaked and consumes roughly 30-50GB of bandwidth every month (with mod deflate enabled on server). My priorities are good uptime, fast servers and network (especially to India) and good customer support.
I have a blog that gets about 50,000 unique users a month and I'm looking for a host that would fit the bill. I'm using wordpress so that's obviously a requirement, but also I would like RoR support. Other than that I'm pretty open. My fear is just that I'll get relegated to a slow server or have my account suspended. My budget is really whatever I need to pay. I'd like to find something at $15 a month or under but I'm willing to pay up to $50 or more if need be.
I'm planning on growing the traffic more in the future so I'm not sure if I should just go for dedicated hosting now or wait. I've checked out hostgator and they seem to have good reviews and fit the bill well, I'm just not sure if they are suited for high traffic sites or not.
I just moved a website I took over to a new host. The programmer hard-coded the DB in. The old code refers to the mediatemple address:
mysql_connect("internal-db.s5363.gridserver.com", "db5363", "-removed-") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db5363_bb", $link)
how I can configure this for the new (CPanel) IGX Host server?
how to move my web sites from one host to another?
I believe my new host will happily do so.. and, I'd really like to know how to do it myself.
Two of the sites have blogs with lots of posts on them.
If you know of any video tutorials, I'd appreciate it.
I've watched one on backing up the site to "remote ftp server". I do not know what that means and have not been able to find a description/definition.
I have couple of site on a shared hosting. Now I want to move it another shared hosting. Is there a program, that can move the sites effortlessly, with a click of button or two. I have couple of mysql database. I want them to be created on my 2nd hosting company.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm moving a site to a new host. So far everything went well: site moved, database restored, domain transferred.. but now I'm facing the fact "how to move the email account in a way the users can keep all their mails and contacts?"
At this moment, the mail account is still with NetFirms and they use NetFirms Webmail. The new host is using Squirrel Mail, Webmail or RoundCube (the user can select either one of these).
Do i need to backup, move and restore all the mails accounts? Or do the users need to backup all their mails (let's say with Outlook Express)? Or is there another way to do this?
I'm thinking about moving an account with one main domain and a bunch of addons from one cpanel host to another, using a whole site backup .tar.gz file. SSH does not appear to be an option at this point.
I just extracted the tar.gz to a local pc to get a look at what's in it. It has these 12 folders: bandwidth, cp, cron, dnszones, logs, meta, mysql, resellerconfig, userdata, va, vad, vf. Below these folders are also 14 unfoldered files, ranging from "addons" to "version."
So, will this work?
1. Does this mean the domains and all the addons will be set up with their original user names, passwords, and email accounts with all the same passwords, if I move everything to the right location? Will all the email accounts I've set up in my email client software work just as they do now with the current host?
2. How can I know where all these uploaded folders and files have to be moved once they're there?
3. Can I just upload the extracted contents to one location, or do I have to upload the unextracted tar.gz to a server, extract there, then move the contents wherever they need to be moved (but I don't know where things need to be moved now)?
I have access to the DNS Zone where the accounts are currently hosted and I would like to change these so it a quick change over from old host to new host.
Do I change the Minimum TTL which is currently 86400?
Do I change the TTL for each A record which are currently 14400?
Do I change the nameservers in the DNS record from what they are now to the new host nameservers?
I have now 10 websites hosted in a hosting company. But i now want to move all this websites to another host.
So all the websites are based in html and flash (no databases or php).
So i will need to upload all the websites to the new host, then point my dns to the new nameservers. Right? im i forgeting something?
And about the emails, how can i copy/import all the existing emais ti the new host?
