Why are all the established and turnkey websites trying to sell you some cheap hosting package and always say there is something like a $8.88 domain renewal fee and all that junk?
I'm just looking for a template to setup, already with content and whatnot and I can't find any, none! Does anyone sell just templates?
When I try to change hosting type to "Forwarding" it changes ok.
If I change hosting type to "Website hosting", I get message "The hosting type for "website name" was successfully changed.", but hosting plan still stay "No web hosting"....
Is it possible to buy a dedicated server off eg Dell and host your own website on it from home ie with a www prefix to the url- Do ye know any good tutorial on it. Would 20Mbit bandwidth be enough bandwidth for a fairly busy php ,mysql site? Completely new to this.
What is involved in hosting a website from a local PC?
I have developed a site on 'localhost' on my PC and am running ISS, I also have a domain name plus forwarding. My internet connecton is broadband and I'm using an ADSL/Ethernet router. How do I connect it up?
A few days back i had made a post asking about which would the best host for a dating website that me and a couple of friends were planning to start. Thanks alot to everyone for the answers.
However now we have decided to go with a gaming website, as the idea appeals to most of us.
The concept is to have a real time online game running on the server 24X7, people can join any time they want and leave any time they want, the game would still keep progressing. My main concerns with such a site are:
1. Bandwidth : As people will be online for a long time playing the game I am guessing we will need good amount of bandwidth
2. Server CPU : Will we end up eating lot of server CPU as the game engine will be running 24X7 on the server? What kind of implications does this have? I dont see any CPU specific details in the hosting plans i have seen so far.
Please advise on the above two. What kind of hosting should I be looking for? Hosting budget is 30$/month (max).
I have a friend who has a dedicated server right now that uses a good 4GB for all his website content. (not streaming media but just a whole bunch of scripts and etc. well thats what he tells me). And so anyways, his SQL database is about 1-2GB. And he is not too sure about his monthly traffic but its a social networking site with a good amount of users (so its actively used by many users). Would it be necessary for him to have a dedicated server or do you think he could cut costs with a shared hosting account at like host gator or some other shared hosting service like that? I guess my biggest concern is his current database. A lot of shared hosting companies (from what i saw) offer unlimited Mysql Tables do they have size limits? And does a bigger sql database drastically effect the performance of the overall server?
I am re-developing a website that launched 8 yeas ago. When the site launched it was developed in TCL and had an Oracle back end. The site's previous developer is still hosting the site on his server.
Long story short, we are re-developing the site on a new server at a different location. We'd like to re-launch on the old server (to help maintain Google search rankings), but we are developing in .Net and SQL. The old server is Linux. We want to maintain our ranking on Google since we are "Top Ten" on more than 20 great keyword phrases.
If we use a DNS forward from the old IP to the new one, are we going to loose rankings on Google? Obviously yes. But would it be beneficial to help the old developer buy a SQL server so the DNS forward is to a server 2 feet away as opposed to across the country? Does Google treat these equally?
I have started a new image hosting website and currently i alloted 7 GB Disk Space and 30GB BW. I know it will not be enough after the site get famous. So which host i can go for to be in a safer side with my image hosting website?
I believe it's ev1server.net But i'm not sure if it's correct or not. This website is jacking some of my cursors. He/she doesn't even rename the files that he/she takes. It's the exact same filename as the one's I have on my website. Also when you look internally you can see information about the cursors. It says something like created by, animated by etc.
I just want to contact his webhost to remove my cursors.
I am using GoDaddy to host my two websites using their deluxe linux hosting plan. It allows me to host multiple websites using one account.
Where I have one domain name registered as primary domain and mapped it to root () and the next one is I have created a subfolder named test inside root ( est) and mapped to it.
Now in browser if I put, firstsitename est it shows the second website.
My question is, i) How can i block that? ii) Will this kind of hosting give any problem with SEO?
I use 34SP to host my website, and the package which I use allows me 2000MB of traffic a month. If every image that I use on my website (including the logo and background image) is hosted on photobucket instead of by the 34SP server, does this mean that the data received from photobucket won't count against my monthly traffic allowance?
And is this a reliable way of doing things? I guess it's less reliable than having all the images on the same server, but how often is this likely to go wrong?
both concerns with programming,hosting and domain as well.
Have we had any solution for a website with multi hosting? I mean how to prevent it from being down by transfering it to another host. I know that it is about A record. If my site down, i should immediately change A record point to another IP of a backup server. However, it still takes time.
thought in terms of the responsibilities that a website designer has in the selection of and set up of web hosting for their clients' websites?
Do you encourage clients to choose their own hosting and give you the details?Or do you find them the best deal for their requirements? If so, do you have a web host you regularly reccomend, or is it case-by-case?
But the problem is users also access emails by www.domain.com/webmail.
Now the MX record is pointing to one sever as we want to gather all the emails at one point. So how do I get the users to go to one particular server for the email? I was thinking to alter the email url to something like
www.mail.domain.com/webmail which only goes to one server.
A friend of mine basically just wants to get his business on the web. He wants a website that is entirely informational (e.g. no commerce or anything like that). Basically a home page with a couple of links to download some documents and some contact info.
He does not have a domain name, so he would need that.
And the person wants an easy to use website designer for this simple site.
My initial thoughts were:
Microsoft Office Live - but that doesn't seem to be totally free anymore.
Wordpress.com (I am not sure this would work as well especially if you wanted to post documents or something)
I dont know where else to post this, but I am having a weird problem that I do not understand.
I have this domain, that I am pointing to a VPS hosting service.
I currently have 2 domains pointing here.
my main domain, works fine. I go to the domain, no issues (www.whiteazn.com)
but the 2nd domain, is where i am having problems (firstbaptisthenderson.org)
It is pointed to the same server.
but the problem is, it seems like the server change, never "propogated" throughout the internet. So, while MOST of the time, it hits the server as I expect, there are times where it goes to the Generic Network Solutions Page Not Found Error (you know, when you just buy a domain, go to that domain and see some generic page there?).
and refreshing, clearing cache, etc, still shows for like 1 minute, then after a bit of refreshing, will see the normal page that should be there.
this happens ever so often. I dont go to it everyday, but i think it does it periodically.
I dont know what the issue is? Both my domains are pointed to: DNS1547.DIZINC.COM DNS1548.DIZINC.COM
The change to the DNS servers was made like 6 months ago, and this issue has always shown up.
One of my clients like to host his emails at Yahoo hosting service, but he also wants to host his website at another hosting company with the same domain.
We have been with Apollo hosting for 5 or so years. 10 days ago, our entire site went down. After waiting around 4 days and hours of dealing with tech support, they got a shell of our website back up. Their excuse for deleting it was that they ran a script on their servers that was corrupt, which in error, deleted our site.
They were unable to restore our database, SQL, php, search functions, etc. as they said they deleted them and did not have a back up as databases took up too much room on servers!! And they cannot restore what is no longer there. We have to rebuild our database all over again, hundreds of hours of work with property descriptions and photos, forms, etc.
After this experience with Apollo hosting our fear level is high and our trust level is low.
We need help with finding a new web host. Currently paying Apollo $ 30. mo for shared hosting.
We need Front Page extension, pph,SQL. Want web host that backs up entire website daily on tape that stores off-site. I have researched some on web hosting review sites and better business bureau online, and find many complaints for various webhosts.
