One of the requirements I have for dedicated server providers is the ability to use IRC clients, not host IRC servers, but just allow my users to use a client on the host to chat on other networks. I know sometimes this can lead to trouble, but in my experience I've not run into any problems. It seems many providers allow client-only access, especially on dedicated servers, but I sometimes run into roadblocks with some providers, especially if we don't speak the same language. Maybe they just don't understand I'm talking about IRC clients? What is the general feeling of you hosters about IRC clients? Good bad, indifferent? Better to ask or not? Any advice on how to ask?
I want to ask I have a client who has 2 Domains. The Client Does not want the second domain attached with the 1st Domain Name.
But the second domain is added on in cPanel.
So what I am saying is if you had google.com and a Addon Domain yahoo.com then a folder called yahoo.com will show in the clients /public_html/ folder.
Then this is accessible by [url]
How can I make this so it does not happen?
Or is the best way setting up a new cPanel Account?
This is probably a long shot, but is there a workaround way to be able to edit passwords for addon domains in cPanel 11? Apparently you can only manage redirection or remove: ...
I'm trying another cpanel hosting service in addition to one with which I have a main domain and a bunch of addons. I'm used to being able to create the addon accounts regardless of whether I've already changed the ns for the domains being added yet. In the new service I'm trying, I am unable to to do that, but instead get an error message which appears online in various forum posts:
Quote:
Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: exampleIP 1,example IP 2 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver.
With the hosting service where I can always create the accounts any time, I use a secure login that contains my account ip: [url] I will only do secure logins, and not any unsecure http logins. The other hosting service where I am unable to create the addons does not appear to have that available for my normal account url or ip, at least it doesn't work when I've tried, but after searching I found out that you can get a secure login in another way, so I am able to securely log into my account using [url] but this is not the same as my account's IP or the normal shorter url for my regular unsecure login. I would guess that's the significant difference which allows me to create accounts any time in the first account vs. not at all in the second - that I'm using my account's normal ip for the one, but the longer-than-normal secure urls for the other (?), although I don't fully know how that would work.
There is however, one significant difference in the second account which I do not have in the first, and that is that I have SSH access in the second account. So, I am wondering if there is a simple method for using that SSH access to change a setting in my second account in such a way that I can have the same freedom to create addons there first and then attend to ns changes and so forth later when I'm ready? Especially is there a way to do this only once for the whole account, instead of having to do it for each and every addon? Thanks in advance to those who might really know the score on all this stuff and exactly what the best solution or solutions are.
I've had asmallorange for like 6 years now, was great host but lately uptime seemed to suffer a bit. Searching for some new one to try.
Could You recommend a cheap less than $5/mo shared hosting?
What I need:
highest uptime available, 99.8 or above would be great use more than 10 websites with them, addon domains feature. bandwidth above 1 gig, maybe above 5, not sure. support doesn't matter that much, cause I almost never ned to contact them, lol another thing I'd prefer is to use company's details in WHOIS info - that's really kind of important. Don't like Godaddy's $10 service. Just don't want to pay.
I am a host reseller and the parent company is upgrading their servers to PHP5. This may break some of my clients' sites (OSCommerce, Zen). Should we fix those sites for free or should my clients pay for the upgrade?
So my the other day one of my clients rented a Windows 2003 server. Has no idea on how to run DNS server on it and demanded us to do something about it. Since he had no management plan, we let him know that if he got himself a management plan we could help him out - but looks as though he was on a tight budget and couldn't opt in for it. Same thing happened last week and again one yesterday!
To help these customers out I was wondering if I could start a DNS service. Each client would get access to it for free regardless of their operating system or management plan. They could point their domains to the nameservers and use the DNS service to point the domain's A records to their servers.
From the start, I have been using EditDNS and still using it. But coming to think of it, its getting more unstable day by day even though they have 5 servers spread across the globe. I am planning on to move to EveryDNS. With this move, I'd like to use their services for my clients too. Rather than running my own DNS servers - I feel this could work out more efficient and reliable.
So what I am planning on doing here is more like creating private namesevers to mask EveryDNS's nameservers. Then have a custom script site built to interact with EveryDNS's APIs. Sounds like a good idea? Then my customer uses the script's interface to create/delete/edit records, etc.
Anyway I need some advice, suggestion or help in this matter. Has anyone tried this stunt out before? If so, how successful were they/you? How are your customer's reaction towards this (satisfied or not?). Does it stay efficient? (both in terms of money, time and energy spent).
Also, if anyone could suggest me any programmer who could do this for me (someone well versed with DNS/EveryDNS on PHP/MySQL) it would be nice.
Edit: I guess ServerBeach/Peer 1 already has implement this. If anyone really knows whats going on there - please share.
I want to buy a billing software, but I am a bit scared about having all my clients in mysql on the server. How safe is it? Can hackers steal my data? Till now I had clients data stored on my PC.
Is there a way to use ns1/ns2.yourhostdomain.com for not only your shared hosting clients but also for your linux AND windows 2003 dedicated server clients (or vps)?
Alright, so I apparently messed up my email. I downloaded my email folders from my previous host's mail folder through FTP and then uploaded them to my new server's mail folder thinking it'd be an easy transfer. Yeh... didn't work, now I can't get my email through Outlook 2003 or ThunderBird. Any ideas on how to reset my mail server? I don't know if it's just the mail folder that's messed up or what.
I have noticed in a few Windows server tha the server gets hacked and there are tons of files which are mostly DVD rips and games being transferred away which results in huge amount of data transferred and bandwidth consumption increasing to as far as 29 Mbps. On further investigation, I find that all the files get stored in either the Recycler directory or the System Volume Information directories in any of the drives. Now these two directories are protected operating system files. Even if there is a windows firewall installed, there is no difference. I have even noticed that in some servers there is an automatic exception rule added in the windows firewall enabling the torrent client to communicate outside the server. This seems to be a common problem with Windows 2003 server and seems to be some backdoor of Windows allowing hackers to use the server for seeding. Has anybody come across such a problem or know the solution? Kindly help me with this.
I will soon be meeting a few people who plan on selling their clients to me that are currently hosting with them.
I have never bought/sold clients before and would like some guidance from the community here on WHT.
Correct me if im wrong.
I should consider purchasing those clients who's contracts are going to expire soon, preferably within the next 6 months atleast?
Should i or should i not purchase clients who they have recently taken a renewal fee from that will last for atleast another 6 months?
How will calculate on what prices they should be selling their clients to me for? Are they going to add up a years worth of hosting before they set a final sale price? At the end of the day i dont want to take on clients who have already paid for their hosting and wont be expiring anytime soon. I think, if i take them on board now they will be using up my hosting resources at my expense which i will have to wait until their next renewal is due.
The guys i will be buying the clients from have their current hosting plans as follows:
Monthly prices range from £1.90 £5.00 £9.50 £15.50,
Yearly prices range from £19.00 £50.00 £95.00 £155.00
Depending on what packages their clients are on now, how much do you think on average 5 clients would be worth roughly?
Before i purchase what else do i need to look into?
What other questions do i need to ask other than the likelihood of how long they expect their clients to stay with them/(me).
I did an FTP of a high res photo to a client. They got it fine.
Today I tried to FTP several of my various files to another client. However, it would not go through. Both times I uploaded them to my web hosting service. But when I tried to send several files at one time it did not work. I even tried zipping them.
is there any other good ftp clients beside lftp and ncftp to transfer a whole directory for CentOS4?
I can't get lftp passive mode behind firewall working, it's stuck at [Making data connection...] and there is some problems with ncftp as well, and centos4 is no longer supported too..
How do you deal with your clients in reguards to hosting. Its just I have a couple of jobs coming up. Do you host them yourself or just point them into the right direction of a good host and use them?
Just stopped at the site of photonvps.com and got to know the company offers attractive VPS being narrowly specialized.
Nut really this is the very first time I hear of the host, and I need to know If anybody has experience or knows someting if this provider, to help me making a decision.
I would like to know about cirtexhosting company from its clients. I found this company attarctive by the offered deals, and currently I am looking for somebody to tell me if this company is really worth of getting an account from. I mean how's their shared hosting quality? The pre sales support looks to be fast and informative, but how about customer support?
I've been developing websites for clients on and off for about 5 years. I've recently gotten more serious about developing as my client base is growing. So, as I get more clients I develop sites for I need to figure out where to host the sites.
So, the question is VPS, Dedicated, or Shared. How do I compete with companies that charge $6.99 for so much data transfer and storage?
Are you also getting a complete lack of service and customer support?
I have not heard a darn thing from them since they got hacked and now I have only about 25% uptime! But yet, I am still paying for the 99% uptime they promise!
We're having a small problem with one of our Ventrilo boxes (Linux) that seems to be blocking users from connecting. The DC (The Planet) is reporting that the issue is likely with the user and my tech is also saying the same thing. I have reason to believe they're both wrong but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.
Here are 3 tracert's that show normal activity until the user reaches the DC network and then they can't reach our server.
All 3 of these are from different users experiencing the exact same problem.
