View 0 RepliesA domain was working fine and now suddenly it is showing cpanel's default green page. It worked fine for 2 weeks. I deleted / re-added the dns zone, same problem. What would cause this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do I change the default green cpanel page when a new account is created (dns only) and no page is uploaded yet?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't know why but a domain is showing the green default cpanel page instead of its own homepage. The domain has been hosted on this box for a long time.
DNS is fine, ran udpateuserdomains without error. No dns changes have been made. IP it is set to pings fine. Tested via 3rd party proxy, shows green cpanel page still.
Shows proper IP in httpd.conf
if you want to buy a web hosting plan, does it need to be "Green Powered"?
or you just dont care
I searched through the forums and didn't notice anything about this company. Anyone have any experience with them or know anything about their rep?

View 19 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking about diving into the world of web host reselling to host my clients web sites and help produce some residual income for myself
I have been comparing companies and their reselling plans for weeks now and am looking for some professional advice.
After searching through the forum I find a lot of designers and developers recommending hostgator
I like the looks of the plans offered by Green Geeks, you can find a rundown of their packages here: greenresellerwebhosting dot com
I like the unlimited disk space and bandwidth offered with every package and of course the green factor... however they do limit the number of domains you can host with each package.
I can't help to wonder if the unlimited diskspace and bandwidth is even necessary with the limited hosted domains and of course tech support for my clients is of vital importance
I registered with www DOT supergreenhosting DOT com
The website I am hosting is for a business we just started, that is an Organic Orchard and we will ship produce to people. I chose Super Green for various reasons:
Good, cheap hosting plan.
Good reviews, from what I found online.
"Green" (although not really too green, but it would help our business image to claim we're hosted on "Green servers")
Free domain name.
So, I thought to myself, "Ok, this is who I want to go with"
I wanted to use the 36 month plan, which is $3.95 a month.
First off, I decided to test their customer service, so I began a live chat with a representative. There will always be, "1 person ahead of you, a representative will be with you shortly" bot auto response. Then, an autoresponse saying something like, "Hello, bla bla bla, how can I help you?" (Then normally a real person will say something after that)
My first question was how the billing worked. If I chose the $3.95 a month plan, will the first initial payment be just that? Just $3.95, and will I be charged $3.95 a month for every month after that for 36 months?
I was told, "Yes", that was how it worked.
So I go to register, I fill out the information, put in the card info and hit "Continue".
I was charged $142.20 or something, the entire amount! Not what I was told just moments before. I go back to live chat, and of course it is someone new now. I explain to them that the person before had given me mis information about the billing, and he just said, "You have to pay for it all up front", which was NOT at all what I was previously told.
So we're off to a bad start here.
The account activation is supposed to be "Instant". Here I am, two days later and I have yet to receive any more information about the account. Yesterday I got on their "Live Chat" again, and explained the situation. I was told that billing does not work 24/7 and the status of the account was "pending". Billing? the money is already gone! I've been "billed".
So, my question is this: Does anyone here have any experience with this host? www DOT supergreenhosting DOT com
Good, bad, what? I'm pretty bummed out about all of this. My employer is paying for all of this, and i'm doing the work for him. I feel like i'm getting the run around, and I don't know what to tell him other than try to insure him that its a legitimate company and we should receive the hosting details soon.
Sorry for such the long, rambling post. New member so I can't link you with URLS.
I've seen quite a few data centers advertising about how "green" their facilities and/or services are. However, the great majority are far from actually being green, I don't see Rackspace or AtlantaNAP using solar panels for power (please correct me if I'm wrong). And I wouldn't exactly call using refurbished hardware being "green", as the great majority of older products consume more power than new.
Let me ask the community, what do YOU classify as being "green" ?
I'm about to setup a resellers account. The best option on the block, so far, looks to be Host Gator. I would very much like to go with a green solution. I've done a lot of research and I've found very little. Here are the results of that research:

Before I go ahead and go with Host Gator, I wanted to ask if any site pointers knew of a competitive solution that was a bit greener.
Is it possible, under Linux or Windows, to limit a webhosting account to only 1 webpage (.htm,.cfm,.html,.etc..)?

When I click on the link, I get the HTTP 400 error saying the webpage could not be found. I know the code works since I have tested it locally. Plus the code is very simple.
I am very stumped here and have tried GoDaddy’s help multiple times. They keep telling me it is a scripting issue. I am not sure how it can be a scripting issue because there is no script here. Basically, it is an HTML page with a .JSP extension.
we have a site, x.com and it hosts videos, we want to serve these videos using lighty, however, we can't seem to get it to work at all, The current setup is Cpanel with Apache so we want Cpanel + Lighty(only for flvideo.x.com) and Apache for everything else, im running lighty on port 8080, we've tried different ports for the sake of trial and error.
This is the configuration that we have:
# lighttpd configuration file

# use it as a base for lighttpd 1.0.0 and above

This is the weird part, if we lynx x.com:8080 it will display the html file inside the docroot, if i go x.com:8080 on firefox or internet explorer the connection gets reset and internet explorer throws a "cannot display page" error,
If I go to Hosting Services - Domains and try to switch page, i get this error:
plesk TypeError: item.owner Name is null undefined
And beyond that point, no domains are displayed in Domains...
So I see a lot of people advertising "being green". I've tried to Google around and find out, "What does it take to be green?" Unsuccessful in trying to find a list of requirement to being green. What does it mean to be green? How does one justify themselves being green?
I live in Washington state, over 90% of my data centers power is supplied by Hydro power. Does this make me green?
I recycle ALL of my equipment, Does this make me green?
I recycle as much trash as I can, boxes, cans, bottles, etc etc. Does this make me green?
Green Geeks is considered as an eco friendly web hosting provider around the world making web hosting service greener and compatible...is that true?

There doesn't seem to be much info out there that I can find and it probably doesn't exisit but any leads would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone has any ideas on how green energy could be used in connection with the web I'd be interested to hear.
we've been evaluating the Postini product for a short bit and was hoping this would be all that it's touted for.
So far, we're seeing it catch about 60% of spam but still some very obvious blatent ones are coming in.
Amazingly, we have done a forward as well to a gmail account, the gmails junk filters are pretty damm good...it catches the *rest* that Postini does not tag.
Just curious if anyone has has used other 3rd party spam services and your feedback/review
I have had a bunch of various servers in my garage for years and it's proved to be a lot cheaper than having to fork out for training courses to learn different os's.
Plus since i work from home it's handy to have a setup that has the same operating systems that i work with, mainly hpux, solaris n centos
A couple of years ago i decided to try and get it running off green energy.
From the renewable energy point of view i have 6 big 12v 110ah batteries from a datacenter ups that were being decomissioned, linked to a decent 2kw inverter i managed to pick up very cheap.
Batteries are topped by a couple of solar panels and a small wind turbine (both ebay bargains).
I dont run all the servers at the same time but i can have few running happily.
I was wondering whether anyone here has done anything similar?
I originally started the idea off just to run 12v lighting in the garage but when i got the ups batteries i thought i'd take it a stage further
Right now my stats system only shows from what website traffic is coming. I have google analytics aswell, and with all its functions, it does not tell me from exactly what webpage traffic is coming, and to what webpage the traffic is coming to.
So, let say someone is sending me traffic from www.reffererxxx.com/cool_video.html to www.mysite.com/super_cool_video.html
My statistics would only show that www.reffererxxx.com is sending traffic to www.mysite.com
Is there a way(a script/service/program) to find out exactly from what webpage the traffic is coming, and to what webpage of mine the traffic is going to?
(I do not have server logs / webalizer / awstats as my server cannot handle the log processing due to high server loads)
after uploading my site to the host, I want to type my domain and the home appears.
At the moment, typing my domian, an generic web host index page appears.
I'm currently with webfaction (which awesome) for some of my Django installs, but it's a pain for static installations (especially when clients need their own ftp accounts). So, I'm looking for a cpanel host for clients with simple PHP sites (FrogCMS and Wordpress) and static sites. I use an amazon S3 bucket for most of clients images...
I need about 25-50 SQL databases, 5-15 gigs in bandwidth, and 5-10 gigs in storage.
Many of clients are non-profits and have environmental concerns so I need a host that is "green tagged" (purchases energy from renewable resources) and uses offsets (and has a page detailing this).
I'd also like somewhere with a data-center on the east coast (I'm in Montreal)
I have $10-$20 monthly (I purchase for a year).
Has anyone seen a (or operate their own) datacenter that is moving toward being "green" ? The renewable energy credits are great, but I'm talking more about generating their own renewable energy through large photovoltaic arrays or wind turbines, which feed back to the grid, charge a dedicated battery bank, or even charge UPS battery banks.
I've also been reading about ab/adsorption chillers that can take the hot water produced from solar thermal arrays and produce chilled water for HVAC use.
How great would that be!
Obviously some of these products are not ready to be relied on as an only source of power or cooling, and the sun and wind can be unreliable in some locations, but it is definitely something worth looking into.
I have SSL and it's easy to plug-in to software like OsCom,
but how would you go about using it for one page?
I'm running shared hosting and would like to keep the amount kept in cache down so that there is always more memory free... how would i go about doing that?
are these values good?
echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio
echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
some clarification on the following page headers?
I always presumed the Expires: date is part of the page cache instructions, however I was told its to do with the cookie. I thought the cookie expire was set as expires=date in the set cookie line and not on a new line with the :
