So can you suggest a good windows hosting.
i need a reliable asp.net 3.5 supported hosting with domain/hosting transfer
Php appication like wordpress, joomla supported, also php add-on supported(i experienced this problem at godaddy win hosting, it doesn't support php apps automatic installation & doesn't supprot addons, i can't modify any theme/plugins )
fast & reliable
need to host multisites
asp.net 3.5, sql server 2008
& other things which is needed in win hosting & a good hosting provider
After trying out GoDaddy shared web hosting for 2 months now, I am confident to give you a good review.
Purpose
I got Web Hosting from GoDaddy in order to get ASP.NET. I looked at other hosts but they are just more expensive. So I decided to go with GoDaddy since they provide quite a lot of storage space, bandwidth and of course ASP, ASP.NET 1, and 2, IIS 7 and quite cheap as well. Since HostGator didn't have that option, I didn't have any other choice.
Server Speed & Uptime
I monitor my website using SiteUptime, and there have been 0 downtimes in two months. Not sure how closely SiteUptime monitors a website, but that's what the stats read.
Server speed is very good. For example file upload/download speed is good and doesn't lag.
Scripting Support
Since I chose Windows Hosting, it comes with ASP.NET support, and the ability to create Virtual Directories via the mini web based IIS Manager.
I was actually surprised to see this but they also have PHP 5 . On their windows web hosting package they don't advertise PHP, but after testing a simple file I was just surprised and happy .
Data Base
They give you MS SQL Databases, Access and MySQL. What I really like in their database management area is, it gives you examples of different connectionstrings for your database.
Support
It usually takes 2-3 hours to process each ticket. The support representatives are kind and really helpful.
In a nutshell, GoDaddy really surprised me with their web hosting features, support and just wow .
I'd just want to say that Galaxy-Solutions is the best hosting provider that I've ever been with!
I have a VPS with them which is Unmanaged,but still, Richard is helping me REALLY a lot with problems that I occur (It's my first VPS)! He helped me when I got errors, When my vps was going down for overload (lol), but he made it so now I don't get any downtimes at all! The speed is really awesome! The ping I get is like 140ms! (Ussualy I have ping arond 180-200ms for US Servers).
The VPS is really reliable, support is fast and really professional, prices really great and fair compared to the service that I'm getting!
I recommend this host for all of you! It's really the best! A+++
to start a web design and hosting business and am in need of some hosting for it all...
I've looked at the reseller hosting at [url] which looks good, but they said that I cannot host a 'file distribution' web site. Because one of the sites I will be hosting is an eCommerce application that sells videos for download, I'm not sure whether this would be allowed. I read the SLA and I think it would be, as long as the bandwidth didn't exceed 25GB per month.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of other web hosting packages that might be suitable for everything I need (PHP4, PHP5, MySQL) that weren't too expensive. I don't really want to pay more than £40 per month.
Ideally I'd like unlimited bandwidth and data transfer and web space, but if not, at least enough for a good number of sites!
I was trying to install Plesk on my Windows Server 2012 Standard, but it failed. It says:

I ordered a domain from Name and a shared hosting package from Hawk Host. How do I set them up so they work together? I thought all I had to do was add the Hawk Host name servers to my Name account but that doesn't seem to be helping. I don't have any webpages up yet but I do have some files uploaded to be used as a redirect for a game server. The redirect isn't loading properly most of the time and when I type my domain name into a browser my directory won't show up either, just the parking page. I ordered both of these last week.

I believe it would be interesting if webmasters can write here how looks their ideal hosting plan...
I am looking for a host that allow adult content.
it is to be used for a blog, wordpress based with a minimum of space requirements.
EU based is a must have.
currently it is using 25mb + 200mb bw/month.
I need it to be cpanel based and with awstats.
Mysql is not required as it is hosted aldready.
so I am looking for something reliable with a fair amount of space/bw for a small monthly price.
not required but a nice thing to have would be the posibility for more domains on the account.
Eny host you can recommend for this?
I have found this forum through searching google for articles etc about the best/cheapest host for a small forum, and I think this is the best place to ask I have searched the many topics on this but none of them quite answer my question, so I apologise for repeating what may have already been done.
Anyway....
I currently use a free host (forumotion) and have become increasingly frustrated at not having total control over my forum, and not having access to the database.
I figure now will be a good time to move as the forum is only a couple of months old.
So what I am looking for is a basic hosting package including domain name, that can support phpbb version 3. Im looking for cheap and cheerful basically. I dont know enough about this kind of thing to elaborate, but here are my forum stats;

Posts per day 121.13
Number of topics 625

Number of users 153

As you can see it is pretty small.....it may grow over the next couple of years but has a shelf life of 2010 as that is when the TV show finishes (its a Lost forum), and it may continue for a while after that but I dont expect it to go on and on and on
We have a lot of media posted, mainly youtube vids and jpeg, and we also have a small aracde, so i'm guessing I would need a lot of room there? Plus we have newsletters that would need to be hosted as online versions but they are just html documents.
I hope I have given enough information....oh budget wise I am looking at cheapest possible as I dont want to start charging members to fund the hosting costs.

I've setup a Kloxo cluster, with the main server on 1 server, and all the others (mail, dns, web) on another server - still testing it out.
Then I created a package in Kloxo with some limits and gave it a name. Then, I went into WHMCS, and added the product, and chose LxAdmin from the modules drop-down.
I then proceeded to add the package name in, and told WHMCS to "Get the available choices from the server" and then I get the following error:

Im thinking about launching a dating/social networking website and i was told that i will need a managed dedicated server package and i just want to know if anyone can recommend a company that offers a high quality reliable service like this? Price is obviously important too.
I would also like to know if countries like India offer good reliable high quality managed dedicated server packages too? Or if its better to go with a company in the United Kingdom or the USA etc?
Perhaps there is someone on this forum who also runs a dating/social networking website and can recommend a good dedicated managed hosting package as well?
This is the letter I've faxed 7 days ago(May 12, 2009) and NO RESPONSE!
------------------------------------------------------------
Open letter to Lunar Pages (Add2Net),
Hello Lunar Pages (Add2Net), I’m writing this letter in order to let you how unsatisfied we are with your service. We have opened account on March 28 2009 and still we are not able to work out with your Staff to make our website work today is May 12, 2009.
First we have ordered the VPS(windows) hosting with SQL server database and it took 3 times for your administrators to understand that we need a Windows hosting NOT Linux. It’s obvious if you use Sql Server you’ll need to use Windows server with ASPNet technology Right? Not for your staff.
Secondly we have provided the database but don’t have any reasonable rights at your servers so we have to wait for days for your untrained administrators to do some work for us. I understand the security procedures you should understand US, we have business to run which is waiting for days.
Let me explain this problem in more detail and tell you OUR “database story” from the beginning:
We have provided the files then your staff installed that on some separated server from our hosting, than re-installed that on our VPS server than they have returned that to that separate server (round trip yes it is). After that we have asked them to update our database, they said OK. We have provided the files from SQL 2008, than member of your staff said
“Unfortunately, we do not support SQL Server 2008 on VPS plans, nor the 2005 version due to the high amounts of system resources they consume. However, we can create a database for you on a remote MS SQL 2005 server where you are allowed 1 G of database / 300 MB log. The IP of your VPS would be white listed and you would be allowed to connect to the database only from the VPS's IP.”
Help Desk No: 13
Response by M. M. (hidden for privacy reasons initials are correct)
Ok than I spent 2-3 days in converting the database. When I’ve uploaded the files your Senior Windows Admin R. D. (hidden for privacy reasons initials are correct)was unable to attach our database because our file was too big?? And he asked me to cut the file of 380MB in parts. Does he knows how long it would take me to do that and to make everything to work … maybe 3 months? So I had to do His job and do research online what he could do too but he didn’t. So I made the script for him which I’ve also tested and send that to him with an explanation (digested so 2 year old kid could understand not a Senior Admin). But, Mr. R
R. D. didn’t. So I have to make few calls to get in touch with him and to explain to him what he should do. So finally he did it on Apr 29 2009 and it worked like charm. But, this is not the end … our “hell story” it is just the middle of the story. Since than Apr 29 2009 I was in constant contact with Mr. D.(hidden for privacy reasons initials are correct) asking him to make some corrections to OUR ONLY database so our website could work properly as ANY other ASPNET website. I also tried to apply changes myself but I don’t have enough permission so my hands are tied. So finally I’ve got in touch with him over the phone after 3 days of trying (nobody ever answered the phone with his extension "3...") but the phone call was disconnected and I was unable to reach him again. He responded: “I am sorry that our phone call was cut short. It appears that the connection between my location and the main office was interrupted.
As I was trying to explain on the phone THe permissions that you are requesting are not capable to work on this environment. There are two reason as explained to me by the admin who has setup the SQL Service for VPS customers. First reason is this will prevent the possibility of SQL Injections as a security precaution. The second reason is related to overall usage on the server. This will prevent any one customer running away with the available resources on the server. With these two factors in place the permissions that you have requested are not available at this time Unless you upgrade to a dedicated server.”
The problem is that we have ran our website with 2 previous hosting companies websol.us (it’s still running there because we weren’t able to switch to Lunar yet)and viux.com on shared web servers with smaller packages than we are having with you (VPS), and had no problems and hadn’t been asked to run this on dedicated servers. This company is small and website is small too believe it or not. I’ve been worked on a lot bigger projects and never had problems like this.
My question is: (the same I’ve posted on Friday May 08, 2009 at 11:24 PM …and no answer yet):
Can you please help us and contact the only educated person there Mr.A. K. (who is our last hope) and ask him if he could give the right permissions for our ASPNET user there so our website could function normally? Can you pleas ask him if he could be of immediate assistance for us if ask for help in next few days do we can finally have our website working properly.
If not I’ll have to ask for a full refund and cover of expenses for our "lost time".

So maybe our friends at LP will respond now!
p.s. I'll be very happy to confirm our domain name so WHT "WE" exist as customers of LP.
I registered a domain name with godaddy. I host on a local windows 2003 box. I would still like to use GD's email. I went into my windows DNS server and added the 2 MX records godaddy said. MX0 smtp.secureserver.net and MX10 mailstore1.secureserver.net. There must be more than this. When I try to use godaddy's webmail mail.mydomain.com, it does not work. What else do I have to add to my Windows DNS server to make this wok.. My web site resolves just fine ...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to building websites. Hope someone can help with answering a few questions about GoDaddy.
1. Has anyone had experience with GoDaddy hosting? How good is their service and pricing? I heard that they have a proprietary control panel, which may make it harder to switch hosts down the road if needed?
2. When I compare GoDaddy's hosting plans, with a Shared Hosting plan, for $14.99/month you can get 300GB diskspace and 3000GB Transfer.
With dedicated server, for $79.99/month you get 120GB diskspace and 500GB Bandwidth.
What exactly is the difference between "Transfer" and "Bandwidth" in this case?
And based on the numbers, it appears that the Shared hosting plan allows more diskspace and transfer than the Dedicated server plan? What am I missing here?
3. If I have a website that is mostly text-based with virtually no pictures, graphics or video, what type of traffic can I support with a Shared hosting plan that offers 300GB diskspace and 3000GB Transfer.
I am hesitant to choose between Godaddy unlimited MS hosting plan [url] and webhost 4 life.com webhostforlife Premium MS hosting plan
How easy it is to manage my account through Godaddy control panel? Does Godaddy support running ASP.NET multiple applications on the same domain? Which comapny you would choose?
Any one had any problem with GoDaddy shared hosting. I have a feeling the server is slowing down!
View 7 Replies View RelatedI got a domain name with 123-reg and hosting at godaddy, set up the dns and got everything working fine.
I created a script in PHP in a .png file with the help of a .htaccess, the script basically outputs an image with the name of the filename. So say if the .png was called image.png which had the code in, I could call image.png and it would output 'image', if I called foo.png it would output 'foo' - with the help of mod_rewrite where i redirected all .png requests to the proper image.png which had the code in.
Phew. Now I uploaded the files to godaddy and the .htaccess and I just cannot get the image to output properly, it works locally but not on the godaddy server, no image is output at all, i think it is a mod_rewrite problem.
Has anyone got any ideas how I could solve this? I'll paste some example code if it will let me to help you get an idea.
the .htaccess:
Code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .png
<Files .+.png>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+).png$ image.png
the image.png with PHP code:
PHP Code:
<?php
@header ("Content-type: image/png");
$img = @imagecreatetruecolor(20, 20) or die ("Problem.");
$cBlack = imagecolorallocate ($img, 0, 0, 0);
imagefill($img, 0, 0, $cBlack);
imagepng ($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>
This is just a simple test to get it to work.
Has anyone any ideas or is this post in the wrong forum?
I registered a domain with the godaddy.com. I also have a free web hosting plan attached to it. Now i purchased(not upgraded) a new web hosting plan(economy plan.). Now I want to attach my domain with the new hosting plan. But the godaddy is not allowing me to do so.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having difficulties getting my domain which I registered at domainsatcost to work with my godaddy hosting.
Here is what I have done:
- I went into Domiansatcost's admin management and changed the domain's nameserver and ip to godaddy's hosting nameserver and ip:
ns43.domaincontrol.com - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ns44.domaincontrol.com - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
- At godaddy's hosting management page, I've changed the domain name to the domain name I registered at Domainsatcost. The change has been completed.
However, whenever I try to access my domain, I can only get to the parking page. OTOH, if I associate my domain which I registered from godaddy with my godaddy hosting, I can get to my page with godaddy's domain. What could be the problem?
At godaddy's domain management -> nameserver page, it is stated that
"If your domain(s) are hosted somewhere else, choose 'Custom Nameservers.' "
Was I suppose to select custom nameserver in order to use my other domain with godaddy hosting? I have 0 knowledge with these stuff and it would be great if someone could walk me through in getting my .ca domain to work with godaddy hosting. Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to save some money, so I will be moving from a dedicated server to a hosting plan, and I am going to downsize bigtime as my websites do not generate money they are just for fun.
I was thinking about going with godaddy, to host multiple different websites under one plan.
If I go with their hosting plan, it looks like I can create sub folders for each website, and the hosting is not a problem.
I do however use gmail to handle my mail. Is it possible to specify gmails MX servers under the account? or are they going to make me use godaddys?
I took a shared hosting account at Godaddy and point dns too. But when I try to setup the account it says
"We cannot locate this domain name's DNS record "
Domain name is not at Godaddy but I changed its DNS to godaddy, using their name servers
ns44.domaincontrol.com
ns43.domaincontrol.com
When I check the domains whois , it shows these new nameservers too.
Anyone know how to get this done?
I can not get a .JSP page to display on a deluxe hosted GoDaddy account. I have tried the most basic page. Just to make sure I do not have a type-o, I even used an HTML page to direct me.
Here is the HTML page that has the hyperlink. This page displays fine.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
Here is a test page
<a href="test.jsp">Test JSP</a>
</body>
</html>
Here is the JSP page that can not be displayed.
Code:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
[url]
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
Here is a test JSP page
</body>
</html>
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.
I created a database for my site and then a subdomain.
The subdomain is already working but the database still shows pending setup. Normally, the database setup is much faster than the subdomain setup.
I'm not sure what's going on. Their email support sucks. They don't even reply on time. I can't call them because I'm overseas. It would be a very expensive phone call.
This is my first week with them. Do you guys experience this with Godaddy?
I have a little question that I'm sure somebody more knowledgeable can answer. I had a hosting account with GoDaddy that just hosted my web site only. I had a few clients need hosting at the same time so I looked into upgrading my account to one that would host multiple domains. (this is my first time with multiple clients, can you tell?) I thought perfect! I can host all of my clients accounts from this one hosting account. I thought there would be multiple account interfaces to support this.
So when I get in there, it lets me add one of the domains I was working on and then I went to upload the files and apparently I had to upload the file to a directory off of my site. So newsite.com points to mysite.com/newsite.
I uploaded it just to test it out and when you go to newsite.com it shows in the address bar as newsite.com, not mysite.com/newsite, even though that is the directory path. I'm sure there's a name for this but I have no idea what it is so I wanted to explain my issue clearly.
So, I'm wondering, is this kosher? Is this bad to do or do a lot of people do this and will it affect my site? From what I've gathered so far, people only do this when they have multiple domains pointing to the same site, or am I wrong?
I'm currently running a vBulletin message board with about 26,000 members. At any given time there are about 200 members actively posting.
Right now, we're on a dedicated server with Ilon hosting, however, my members are still complaining that the site runs VERY slowly when there are lots of members online.
To make matters worse, I want to launch a weekly podcast for them, so I'll need even MORE bandwidth.
GoDaddy.com is offering dedicated server accounts with high bandwidth limits (ie 2000 GB). Does anyone have any experience with them? ...
