Right now I have maybe 6 personal sites that I keep on my new VPS. They are mixed together in the public_html file. Ex: coolsite.com and anothersite.com are found in public_html/coolsite/ and public_html/anothersite/ so the result is somewhat messy with many folders. What is the proper way to add sites so I have access to each site separately so it is not so cluttered? Or am I doing this right?
View 1 Repliesi currently have 2 webhosting providers but want to consolidate to one acct at one host with a bit better load times...
1. JaguarPc - i have two accts with them
a. i have a shared acct with them currently - i believe its called the gigadeal (something like $10 a month). i have been with them since 2000, pretty decent host not too much downtime. support is "ok" when needed.
currently i have 3 smallish websites hosted on this one acct, they dont get a lot of traffic. two of them are using wordpress one is just a static html site.
i did a look up and found the server has about 130 sites hosetd on it. so not too bad in regards to overselling. however my big problem is the site takes about 900-1500ms to generate a page. this seems to be pretty often. again the sites dont really draw that much traffic. so thats not the problem here.
b. i also have one of their freedom vps accts with upgraded ram and bandwidth. i only have one site hosted on it. this site used to get about 500K+ unique visitors a month. at its peak we were serving around 1tb bandwidth a month... i know we ran the vps hard but considering we wanted to stay under $50 it worked well. there was of course some downtime due to the massive traffic - [we serve up a popular flash cartoon website].
2. Hostgator - babygator plan
this host only serves up one wordpress site - the site isnt very well known yet, but the site is growing each month. the funny thing is that when i looked up this server there was about 830 websites hosted on it - obviously oversold and crowded. support really sucks here imho. however, the page load time is anywhere between 250ms to 500ms a lot faster than JaguarPcs. which is crazy since jag has much less sites on the server...
im looking to basically consolidate the websites that are on both shared plans. my original thought was to keep them all on my shared hosting acct at jaguarpc (the one with the 3 sites). obviously i cannot add them to the vps since its pretty active. also the vps is business and the other sites are all personal. and i dont want them to mix so to speak.
i am currently spending about $20 a month between the two shared host plans. im looking for some recommendations as to where to move -- where speed isnt such a big problem, and i can maintain one acct. it would be great if i could host these sites all for around $20 - hopefully without much lag.
was thinking mediatemple - but after reading so many negative posts here about them - im not sure...
Just getting started with IIS on Windows XP Pro. One thing I have a question about is why don't I have an option to 'create new website' when I right click on the Web Sites node? Am I only allowed to use Default Web Site? Also, I know it's not a rights issue because I'm logged in as administrator.
I'm looking at IIS on our server which has Windows Server 2003. On that machine I can create multiple web sites by right clicking on the Web Sites node? Is this just not an option with XP Pro?
I currently have few websites hosted for few of my clients over different hosting providers which include from godaddy to other small hosts. I have been thinking about switching them over to a VPS.
After reading lot of threads on the WHT forum, i have decided to stick with wiredtree.
Now for the questions.
1. Wiredtree is a managed VPS server right? that means they install the OS and apache and other applications that are essential to running a site. (not talking about blog software and stuff just basic server software)
2. Do i need to have a Reseller software that lot of them are providing for billing and stuff? I bill my clients myself and take the money upfront. There are no monthly billing and stuff. I dont want to sell the hosting to anyone else then the clients that i pick. Keeping this in mind do i still need the above mentioned software.
3. If i dont get the reseller software for billing and stuff, can i still host multiple websites and have their own control panel and stuff. Basically i want to give every client a username and password where they can log on and add/remove mail accounts, create ftp accounts and etc.
4. If i dont have the reseller software can i still specify different configurations options for different clients, like client 1 has 4gb of space and 50gb of bandwidth?
What are the pros (other than saving money) and cons of having multiple sites (4) on one hosting account? Is it recommended to have separate accounts?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have three sites running on three separate servers behind a single router with DDWRT. One of the servers is a Windows 2003 server that I have DNS running on.
Each domain name points to my public static IP address.
My router is set to use the windows 2003 server as the DNS server.
I have port 80 forwarding to the windows 2003 server.
I can access the sharepoint site that is on the 2003 server from outside my network and within it without any problems.
When I try to access one of the other two sites from outside the network, i get a 400 error. When I try to access the same sites from within the network, they work fine.
i have about 80 domains with godaddy and about 30-40 with 1and1. i have two hosting packages with 1and1 a "home" package and a "business" package. i have a main site up on the business package right now. the home package has tons of files from an old forum that really could just be wiped out.
My question is that i have a few sites being developed right now. 3-4 to be exact, can i host them all on the same package? i want each to not be a sub of anything. What do i do? Calling tech support yielded worthless answers. Do i need a different type of account?
I am starting a small template based company. How many unique websites in their own unique folder can I host on a single server?
These websites would not get many hits, maybe a few hundread to a few thousand a month per site. My goal is to minimize the number of accounts I will have to open up with a web service provider.
Should I purchase 1 package per site or is there a way to get around this. Each unique site would have its own unique domain.
I have a friend who needs to setup about 3 websites with a template builder type hosting solution. I personally have space at hostgator, but they only allow their template program (sitebuilder) to be used with your topmost domain, so I cannot refer my friend to hostgator.
Does anyone know of an inexpensive (<$10 per month) host that has some sort of built in sitebuilder/template program that will allow hosting of multiple sites running the template application under the same account?
I have been tasked with setting up IIS6 to run 10 different sites. We will be using the Host Header Names approach as I do not have 10 IP addresses. I want to allow clients to upload/download to their site via FTP. My IIS6 books have examples of how to setup separate FTP sites for individual IP addresses, how do I accomplish this when using Host Headers? I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Is it possible to do the following with only 1 IP address:

I host about 30 sites for clients who don't want to manage their own hosting. All of the sites are low-traffic. Almost all use FrogCMS or Wordpress /w minify and cacheing options. All of my clients use Google Apps for email.
I guess I'm looking for a reasonable host (nothing unlimited) more storage than ASO would be nice - I'm looking from something from $10-20 monthly and I can purchase for a year at a time.
Sharkspace, downtown host and host gator seem a little "dreamhost-like"... but have good reviews.
Also, I'm in Montreal so a datacenter on the east-coast would be nice
the subject pretty much sums it up, is there a method or solution for multiple websites (whic reside on the same dedicated server) to share just one .htpasswd, or automate the mirroring of said .htpasswd file?
if so any suggestions for methodology or products that would facilitate this action would be most welcome, thx in advance friends..!
I have about 5 sites all hosted on my same hosting account. One of those domains is attached to the hosting account. I place my other domains in a folder of a sub-directory of my main domain. This has been working fine, up until today when i noticed a weird error. I give you a little example of how my sites are setup
my main domain:
www.maindomain.com
My other sites hosted in a sub-directory of my main domain:
www.maindomain.com/sites/site2/
www.maindomain.com/sites/site3/
How my other sites appear on the web:
www.site2.com
www.site3.com
This works fine for every page until i go to www.site2.com/index.php
It redirects to www.maindomain.com/sites/site2/index.php for some reason
I have a server qith liquidweb. Recently I'm getting the message..
host.domain.com used an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
Error code sec_error_untrusted_issuer
Liquidweb is tell me I need an SSL certificate? I don't get it sicne I have a new server with them that doesnt get this error and another older one that doesnt get the error.
OK find]e, whatever.
I have free SSL's at namecheap from positivessl.
Can I use this on my host.domain.com and will it give ssl to all the domains on the server?
I host a whole bunch of domains on this server
I run my server on my home PC.
I have hosting through GoDaddy for now, but it is in the process of being transfered to my dyndns account.
I like to use my home server's e-mail account that I setup via hMailServer.
My domain is 347media.com.
I would like to know the proper procedure for setting up an MX record through the registrar.
My main concern is that I don't always have this computer on, so I'd like to setup a secondary MX record that will catch my e-mails in-case I my computer is shut off.
I have done web development for myself for many years and have also launched a very successful video game website. But I have NEVER used what I would consider a proper workflow for developing.
I have never used a test server and never used SVN. All of my work up to now I have done using Dreamweaver and Visual Studio. Using the pitiful source control in dreamweaver (essentially just marks files as read only) and always used a web host I pay for as my platform. Its takes a while to test things as uploading takes a quick second or 2 and I run into problems making test pages and then when it comes time to roll them out to the live version of my site...well...it can get complicated.
I'm taking it upon myself to start learning Ruby along with the Rails framework. And I want to clean up my act a bit. I'm would like yalls advice on how best to set up a better/more professional work flow. I have a number of computers and would like to set one up as a dedicated test platform. I would like to do my development and coding on my windows PC but run the webhost, mySQL server, a mySQL front end, PHP, Ruby, etc on my linux box. Whats the best way to manage this? Is the best way to just ftp them over to the right directories? Or am I totally missing the boat on a much better way to push new code to my test bed? Is there a linux distro of choice out there that comes bundled and set up with all those things pretty much out of the box?
I have a dedicated server that is running apache and exim. While they're running from the same IP, I want the domain names to be www.mydomain.com for http and mail.mydomain.com for SMTP.
What I've done so far is set up A records for *.mydomain.com and mail.mydomain.com to point to the same IP address.
My MX record points to mail.mydomain.com.
My exim primary_hostname is configured as mail.mydomain.com.
Now I'm trying to get the PTR record set correctly so that outbound email doesnt get trapped by spam filters. So in this case should my PTR record point my IP to mail.mydomain.com and not mydomain.com or does it not matter?
Is it strange that an RDNS lookup to the primary IP would return my mail server like that?
I can't figure out how to be able to send mails using sendmail. I've a dovecot/sendmail installation and I can recieve mails OK but when I try to send mail I get the error message "Relaying denied. Proper authentication required."

Oct 2 18:10:08 localhost sendmail[2196]: l92GA4UC002196: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<xxxxx@gmail.com>, relay=rl-nvt-kaxx.xxxxxx.xxx [000.000.000.000] ....
We had written a free file sharing website like rapidshare,2shared,4shared n .... .
We let people add as many file as they want to upload.
People also search and browse among files.
Do we need a dedicated server or a dedicated VPS ?
How much should the configuration be? i mean How much Ram?
We need to add extra hard disks in the close future.
Maybe sometime we need to add clustering and ... .
Please tell me in detail about the initial configuration needed to run this website so we ll be sure that the site will never be down or lacks of hard disk and ram or CPU.
and tell me your experience in best dedicated services with online support which will be good friends.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking of consolidating some of our shared hosting and vps accounts into a couple of other vps accounts.
It's just occurred to me that I've never really abandoned a host before and that I have a lot of stuff on there I don't want in the wrong hands.
Sure, hosts should be legally responsible and wipe the space but why trust what you don't know for a fact (I even have one host that had stuff hidden in my "fresh" account, buried in the logs, so apparently they were reusing something along the line as a template).
Should I, and how would I, wipe out the space properly?
I have two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
Depending on where u are at on my site (documents pages, training, main root, etc.) will depend on which type of background, footer, header and the like you'll get. Now I was thinking. Is there a way to have multiple error messages for more then one page depending on where you are at on a site? Right now it's intranet site and a modded snitz forum. What is the code and were does it go and in which apache conf file(s) does it go in?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having the oddest issue. For some reason, some of the websites on my server load fine, and some take a really long time to load (2 minutes).
Now, the server load is fine, and the size of the sites aren't the issue either. I've restarted Apache and a couple more services, and still the same sites seem to load very slow.
What could be causing this since it's only effecting certain websites?
