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.
we're a webdesign company who also sell hosting (white labled). we have over 500 websites hosted with a company (based at telehouse in london - which is a good selling point for us when selling hosting packages). Theyve been really good (reliable servers, good support, good control panel etc...). Theyve also won awards for the reliability of their servers. Unfortunatley, over the past year we've noticed theyve raised their charges by quite a bit and the support has been very poor.
My question is: does anyone reccommend a company we can move all our sites to? this is obviously business critical (not only for us but for all our clients too!), and so we want to be absolutely certain of the company and what they can offer before we move over everything.
We've thought about a dedicated server with 1&1. It would be a fraction of the cost, but I always believe in 'you get what you pay for'. could this be the case here?
I wasn't sure if this would be better posted in the resellers forum, but that seemed to generally be reviews of companies.
Anyway, I work for a company who is trying to move a large amount of sites from one server to a new one. I was looking for the best way to handle this, since you run into issues with mySQL databases, file permission getting lost in ftp, ect.
I see several ISP advertising that they can help clients without any downtime? I now have a couple of large clients I am supposed to move to my servers. They are moving from cpanel servers to my cpanel servers, so the moving part is easy enough, but how should I proceed to have no or very little downtime?

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?
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.

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?
I have some 100's of MB's to move and I'm definitely not doing it by transferring it via my PC / FTP.
I seen all the tutorials on how to move your MySQL databases, but what about full folders etc, how do I move those (putty?)?
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 did a search on the forum bu it exploded so I thought I would post the question - sorry if it's been asked.
I would like to know how many sites are commonly hosted on a dedicated server..
Say - 4 gigs of RAM, and a Q9300 (for example).
I know that some companies put 600 - 800 sites on the server and then customers talk about load and etc etc.. So, I just wanted to get a feel for how many sites/server..
I have a godaddy deluxe Linux hosting plan for the next year. I'm wondering how I can host my two sites on that plan. According to GoDaddy it's possible but how can I do that and have each site separately? It says the only way would be to have it like...Url.com/keyword for other site but I don't want that. I want it to be so you visit one site and it takes you to that exact site.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not going to define a "site" so you define it 4 times and tell me with every one how many sites I can host.
Specs.
256MB
10-15GB
150-250GB
CPanel
Sites: single page to forum... (shared hosting basically)
I am trying to figure out a way to move a site from 1 host to another... The problem is that I don't just have a bunch of HTML files to move... I rented a VPS server for the last year, I believe it was CentOS 5 (OS). I setup several things on the server, MYSQL, FFMPEG, ETC...
I am now wanting to move to a dedicated server HOWEVER I DO NOT WANT TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. The site is rather busy and it is important to do the transition as fast as possible.
SO -- I have used Symantec Ghost before to "clone" a computer before. It basically takes an IMAGE of the entire HD and then you can paste/burn that image on a new HD and it makes a PERFECT copy of the original machine.
BUT - I have NO CLUE how to do this over the internet?
I found host1plus hosting, mini plan offering 3GB space, so I'm interested how many sites I can host there?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking of using one of my computers at home as a dedicated server to host my own sites, and I would like to get your opinion guys on whether that would be a practical thing to do or not.
Dedicated Server: I put together;
Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.8GHz
3GB DDR2
1TB Seagate HD
GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB
Gigabit LAN
Windows XP Pro / IIS 5.1
Smart Firewall/Router Symantec
APC Smart-UPS battery (Full 15 hrs.)
Dedicated Connection: Business account will run me $80 CDN/month;
Speed Download - Up to 16 Mbps
Speed Upload - Up to 1 Mbps
Transfer/month - 200 GB
IP Addresses - 2 dynamic & 1 reserved.
The Sites:
Both sites are Academic based - together they receive approx. 200,000 visits a month / 50 to 60 GB transfer and growing. I'm also in process of publishing a 3rd site, but over all, I anticipate the 3 sites transfer to hover around 100GB/mo unless Digg/StumbleUpon/Google all decide to have an orgy-traffic linkage at once and push it higher.
I am about to host a ton of client sites, and need a good host to support them all at a good rate.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am reading the BYO Database Driven Website Using PHP and MySQL and I am ready to play around a bit. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a quality provider with this language. I have had problems with some in the past when using Joomla so I am trying eleviate that problem from the get-go.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSay if i choose a plan with specs something like below
Space : 20 GB (Max)
Bandwidth : 200 GB (Min)
RAM : 384 MB
I will be having Plesk (Unlimited), Powerpack, TOMCAT JSP , MS Access & MS SQL Express installed.
Now my question is as approximately how many Domains / end user control panels can i host on the VPS (say most of my client's websites will get a max of 100 visitors per day and they are all not very heavy resource consuming websites. They are websites with around 50 pages and a single MS SQL database which is queried for Login info and other trivial information that is stored in it.)
I know it is very hard to guess, but a conservative figure will do.
I did a site for a UK company that has a .com address, and for various reasons the site is hosted in the US. Unfortunately the site doesn't appear under the google search for pages in the UK.
One reason I chose the US hosting company is that they provide ColdFusion hosting, and my plan is to upgrade the site to use ColdFusion in the near future.
They do also have the .co.uk address registered, which is currently set to forward to the .com address, and that doesn't show up in google at all.
I'm thinking the solutions might be:
1) Move the .com hosting to the UK
2) Get additional hosting for the .co.uk address (uk mirror)
3) Both?
The company is based in the UK, and provides holidays in Montenegro, primarily aiming at the UK market.
When I originally looked into it I could not find a UK host that provided ColdFusion and mySQL 5 - and those that had ColdFusion and other database applicaitons were far more expensive than the US one we're using currently.
What would be the best way forward?
What is the cheapest and easiest way to have say 20 different sites all on different IPs?
Just buy 20 different cheap hosting accounts?
Or can a reseller account or server add different IPs per site? And I mean a pretty big difference in IP not just last number.
All very small sites, about 3mbs space needed, and probably not even a gig of bandwidth a month.
I have to move some large websites from one host to another. The websites contain data about 1 - 3 GB, and my internet connection here is not that fast, so that downloading and uploading would take many hours. Unfortunately I have no SSH-Access to both accounts (old and new one), so I have to make it by FTP.
So I tried to make a tar file and moved it from the old to the new host. I made a tar archive of the whole webfolder (I used php to execute the shell commmands) and moved it by ftp to the new host. But now I´ve got troubles when extracting the archive on the new host: the extracted files are obviously created by the wrong user, so I can´t delete or access them by ftp.
So I´m trying to find other solutions to fix these problems. Maybe someone else had the same problems and could give me advice how to move large sites? Or do you know php-applications that can directly connect one host accout to another via ftp?
to host flash sites is there anything my server needs installed on it the way you need perl or php installed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCompared to others my sites may not be that big but I have one site that is 5 gigs and another that is about 9 gigs. I was wonder what is the best or most recommend way to transfer these sites to a new host.
I tried downloading the whole site using FireFtp but always seem to get about 3rd of the way done and something messes up the conection. Are there any better tools or methods to do this.
I also have pretty large Dbs that I'll need to transfer as well.
how can I know how many RAM do I need to host 200 static webpage sites in one vps?
