Moving Main Domain To Another Server
Nov 26, 2007
I have my main domain (domain.com) and it is where all my sites and customer sites are pointed to (ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com).
I just purchased a VPS and have made (domain.com) my main domain as I want it to be because of keeping the nameservers the same for my clients.
My vision is this, I will transfer all the sites from my old cPanel account to my new DirectAdmin account. I have setup a time to let my clients know not to update any content on their sites. At that time I will then download the sites from the cPanel account to the DA account. I will then move my main domain (domain.com) over as well and then change the name server registries at namecheap.
I understand some things can get lost in this switch, but ALL clients are aware of this and understand. They will still have access to the old server via the IP address to check for misdirected mail.
Is this the simplest way to get this done?
Is there a better way, with using the main domain?

I have a domain name as per my sig. I am also creating a subdomain totally in contrast with that site below. My primary domain has one page on it so i would like to:
a) delete the one page on my primary domain
b) Make the contents of my subdomain my primary domain. e.g my domain is www.info-peep.com, my sub will be example.info-peep.com........i would like to make example.info-peep.com : www.info-peep.com......that make sense, as really the sub will be my main site.
Basically wanting to transfer the contents of my sub to my primary. So when people click info-peep.com, it will be the sub's site. Another thing to note is that i am using RVsitebuilder (WYSIWYG) that my web host provides. Also BEAR IN MIND the WYSIWYG editor does not allow me to move pages (sucks) or to copy the page contents.

I have several sites under a cPanel/WHM reseller account. I want to move the biggest site under this account to another host. This site is the main site for the reseller account. The user name associated with it is my account name with the host, and all the other sites on that account are shown in WHM to be owned by it.
After I have the site running on the new host, I want to delete it from the old one. How can I do this whilst still retaining access to WHM which is only accessible through the cPanel of this site?

I currently have a web VPS hosted with FDCServers.net and after 5 days of switching to it i am getting massive HTTP requests. When i login to WHM and hit apache status i have many requests per second by multiple IP's that are going to pages that simple don't exist. Currently my hostname for the server is set at web-01.optical-hosting.com which is what the requests are being sent to. I am also having a DNS issue because when i put http://web-01.optical-hosting.com in the web browser it displays the first account's site under "list accounts" in cpanel. Can someone please help me fix both of these issue's? i will post an apache log in a second post as it is long. Also, these are from overseas. please someone help me with this i have Aim and Msn.

Whenever I try to create a user account I get the following error
Sorry, resellers are not permitted to create subdomains of the server's main domain
My server domain is www.domain.com and reseller is trying to create a user account like new.domain.com . It was working fine a few weeks back but I think since I upgraded the cpanel and whm, it doesnt allow creation of accounts anymore.
Could someone help me to fix this error please?
I own the VPS and the reseller and all other accounts.

I'm trying to move sites from one cPanel server to another. Presently, I am using the clustered DNS option in WHM to keep the two servers DNS in sync, which has allowed me to avoid messing with switching name servers for domains as I moved them. Now, I'm looking to turn off the original server, but that server is the one hosting the name servers that most of the domains use (ns1 and ns2.serverforest.com).
I'd like to move those name servers over to the new server, which I presume is as simple as re-registering them in the control panel over at my registrar. However, I presume I also need to bind IPs on the new server to the original DNS names. However, if I do that and the DNS cluster syncing occurs, won't that mess things up while I await the registrar making the changes? Do I need to turn off clustering before making the switch?
Is there a way to do this seamlessly?
Also, for testing purposes I created ns3 and ns4.serverforest.com on the new server. If I now want to move over ns1 and ns2, can I set them on the same two IPs that ns3 and ns4 "own" without any trouble?

We have a client who has a site currently hosted with some guys in germany. I cannot speak german, so am unable to chat to the support there, so thought I would ask here.
We are wanting to move their site to new hosts, as we are re-developing it for them, and their current setup does not suit our needs.
The only issue I am not too sure about is the following:
They rely heavily on their email (what company doesnt nowadays?), and they currently have IMAP acounts. They use thunderbird on a Mac for all their emails, so all their mail would presumably be on their machines.
No, if I moved their email accounts, would all the emails be deleted from their Thunderbird on their Macs? I know they wouldnt for POP, but I have only ever dealt with POP, nt IMAp.
If they will get deleted, what is the best way for me to handle this?

I am moving my domain to my home server. I went to remove it from WHM and saw this option: Keep Dns Zone (needed if you have moved a domain between servers in the same dns trust relationship, and wish to remove the old domain).
I am running my own BIND server on my home pc.

I have example.com as a reseller account hosted on a shared server. I have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com on that server and client domains use these nameservers.
I want to move to a VPS for more control and so I have acquired vps.example.com. This also has vps_ns1.example.com and vps_ns2.example.com with it.
Can I move everything to the VPS? Assuming that I move the files over, if I simply changed the DNS of example.com to point to nameservers vps_ns1(and 2).example.com, what would happen?
Have I made it over complicated for me to understand, and it's actually a lot easier than I think? Or have I shot myself in the foot by using vps.example.com as the name for the VPS?
I am using cPanel/WHM for both servers.

I know from past experiences, a VPS is not suppose to be setup on a sub domain for the main domain name account. My VPS was setup on a sub domain which is not allowing my domain name to resolve the with the DNS server. How to fix this issue? I have been speaking with support all day, and we have fixed a few minor issues but my major concern is yet to be fixed and I'm still sending support tickets ( and they are working on it ) but it's been an all day afair...any sugestions from the peanut gallery?

I have recently just purchased an unmanaged vps from poundhost. I have never used a vps before so we shelled out for a WHM control panel! The issue now is that we do not have a nameserver set up or any main domain to use as a nameserver.
We have the main IP address and two additional IP's given to us by poundhost, how do I use these to start hosting and managing websites?

When trying to make a subdomain on my main cpanel domain, through cpanel, it acts like it is making it, and adds the dns entry, but it does not work. All other domains work fine.
I submitted a ticket to buycpanel, they asked for the login information this morning, and have not heard back from them. This has happened every since they installed cpanel.
I am hoping its something simple that one of you knowledgeable people may know how to fix.

I have maindomain.com addon-1.com addon-2.com addon-3.com
The addon domains are folders in main domain's root.
The problem is maindomain's htaccess is affecting the addon domains. I want the add on domains to have their own htaccess. The addon domains should not be influenced by main domain's htaccess
I did some research online and someone says this method works:
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon_domain.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
But the above assumes you only have one addon domain. I have multiple.
Which code is correct? This
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-1.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-2.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-3.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
Or this
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-1.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-2.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-3.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
do I put the code at the beginning of main domain's htaccess?

Lets say I have abcd.com as the main domain on cpanel. abcd.com has 10 subdomains.
Basically what I want to do is when I do an addon domain or parked domain I want the subdomains to basically point to abcd.com automatically. Let's say the addon/parked
domain is 1234.com
For example I have
sub.abcd.com as the main subdomain
so when I type in sub.1234.com I want it pointed to sub.abcd.com internally meaning the script/files from there however in the browser show as if it were sub.1234.com

i have a vps and although i can send mails without problem from my main root account, sending via any of the child accounts created for customers results in their email being picked up as spam (in hotmail at least).
To clarify, mydomain.com is my main name. Email can send without problem,
customersdomain.com, hosted on the same machine, when sending emails they are picked up as spam. The mx dns entries in the zone file are set (by default to) customersdomain.com. and for all the child domains customer1domain.com. etc.
Do i need to ask the datacenter to add a reverse dns entry for mail.mydomain.com?
Is this an issue with the mx records for the hosted domains? Should i change the hosted domaims mx entry on the customers domains to mail.mydomain.com?
I know the ip isnt blacklisted because exactly the same email goes through when sending from the mydomain.com email addresses.

I am using Web admin edition .I need to create two subdomains namely sub1.example.com and sub2.example.com with different IP address. So i need to create two webspaces since a webspace cannot have two domians pointing to two different IP. So now to I can create two webspaces set to different IP. But to create sub1.example.com in one webspace and sub2.example.com in another webspace , i need main domain example.com in both the workspace. But if try to create example.com in second webspace it already exists.Because it exists in another webspace. Actually i dont want to create example.com in both webspace. i need to its subdomain in different webspace.
So one solution is to create example.com and sub1.example.com in one webspace and create another webspace using Adding new webspace and specifying domain name as sub2.example.com. But i don't know does the second subdomain will work properly without creating main domain.

I have a problem with on domain. The domain is the "main-domain" of the customer but it is not shown in the overview /smb/web/view
Not with the User logged in and not with the admin logged in.
But I can change setting, when I call the detail-page manually: /smb/web/overview/id/d:26
I tried to lock/unlock the domain/account, but nothing worked.
I could not see any mistakes in the database.
Deleting and adding the domain would be a trick, but because of having many domains/subdomains and dns-entries this is not my first choice.

I'm setting up a SAAS service which is built on top of Laravel. To put it simply the service itself knows whether its being called from a sub.example.com or just example.com and serves a correct response accordingly. So going to sub.example.com will use the same index.php file as example.com but the routes and controllers within the application will provide a different response. sub.example.com will show a tenant login page where as example.com will show a new tenant subscription page or something else.
So when someone new subscribes I add a new entry to the database with a subdomain name for them and when a request comes from that subdomain and they are logged in it will show them their information. Easy right.
There is a problem though with setting it up with Plesk. When I add a wildcard subdomain, it will look for /subdomains/sub/ for the files which is a bit problematic since I want it to serve the files from the same place as the domain example.com.
Is there a way to configure that so that regardless of the subdomain it will try and serve the exact same content as my main domain?

i have moved my site (pages and data) from my VPS to dedicated.
NOW I want to move the domain from VPS to Dedi.
Both are running on directadmin. I want to quickly move domain so that new user registrations are on the new domain only. Last time when I did this, at some locations domain still resolved at old and I lost some data on old server.
what should i do? I think i need to:
1. update NS at the domain registerar.
2. update the ip address in the DNS administration of old server directadmin so that the ip address is of new server there.
