We just got a dedicated server, my first time messing with anything dedicated though I've had WHM before. I have 4 domains I'd like to setup to point to this. But I'd prefer our company URL to host the name servers. Domains are registered through enom who will allow me to setup the name servers.
I'm trying to use the "Nameserver IPs" section in WHM to setup the name servers but it just sits and "works" but never actually finishes. Does my company URL need to be pointing to the server before doing this?
I am currently in the process of transferring my sites to a new host (Liquidweb). On my old server I used my host's nameservers, whereas Liquidweb STRONGLY recommends (two or three times in the "account info" email) that I create custom ones on their server.
So for one of my domains, I created an account in WHM, created ns1 and ns2 nameservers in WHM, created the nameservers for the domain (in Tucows/Opensrs) and changed the domain to use it's own nameservers. (ie x.com uses ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com) That all seems be working fine now; ie, typing x.com in my browser resolves to the new server.
This would lead me to believe that the new nameservers are ready to use and that I should be able to start using them for other domains too. But when I try to change the nameservers for any of my other domains in Opensrs I get this message:
"Unable to update nameservers: Nameserver ns1.x.com doesn't exists in the registry"
I would normally assume that the new nameservers just haven't propagated yet. (It's been 24-36 hours since I originally created them in Opensrs.) However, x.com is currently resolving correctly, and it's using ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com ... so why wouldn't I be able to change other domains to also use ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com?
Here's a WHOIS I just ran on completewhois.com for ns1.x.com:[NAMESERVER whois information for NS1.X.COM ] [rs.internic.net] Whois Server Version 1.3 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to[url] for detailed information. Server Name: NS1.X.COM IP Address: 72.52.###.### Registrar: TUCOWS INC. Whois Server: whois.tucows.com Referral URL: [url] >>> Last update of whois database: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 20:01:24 UTC <<< [whois.biz] Not found: NAMESERVER NS1.X.COM >>>> Whois database was last updated on: Sat Sep 15 00:33:44 GMT 2007 <<<<I don't mind waiting if the nameservers just have to propagate (is that why it says "not found" there?), but if that's the case why is my x.com site already resolving correctly using the new nameservers?! Is it just because its using its own nameservers? (If that makes any sense ...)
I have WHM/CPanel installed, that's what I used to add the nameservers and so on.
I'm trying to configure my newly acquired VPS and am having a hell of a time with it. I will be hosting several sites on this server, so I've ordered an extra IP so that I can run my own custom nameservers (and Lee doesn't have to bother with adding my domains to his system)
At my registrar, I've created two new nameservers (ns1.thatscriptguy.com and ns2.thatscriptguy.com) and pointed them to my server. I've added the additional IP to the system as eth0:0 and configured the domain. Here is a copy of my /var/named/thatscriptguy.com.hosts
Code: $ttl 30M

what changes we are supposed to do the server to provide our reseller their own custom nameservers? we do have management companies hired for issues but i really feel i should know this too.
I have a Plesk VPS hosting 2 domains. I would (ideally) like to have both domains have dedicated IPs in addition to custom nameservers (custom to both names... ns1/ns2.domain1 and ns1/ns2.domain2). How many IPs in total would I need for this configuration? 4? How many if only one is dedicated? Or neither is dedicated?
I would like to create custom nameservers for a Server i just purchased. I seem to be getting unclear messages from my Host & Domain registrar on what the process should be.
I have [url] registered. i would like to be able to provide [url]& [url]etc. to clients to use as nameservers.
i have no other servers hosting nor do i have a DNS created somewhere's else? what should be the process in getting these created?
Will the nameservers work if the nameservers are pointed to a parking page? For example:
I need to change my nameservers to ns1.mywebhost.com and ns2.mywebhost.com
(nameservers are made up)
These nameservers are from my web hosting service provider. When I visit the nameservers, it shows up a parking page from a domain parking service (let's say NameDrive parking page)
Will the nameservers function correctly and will my websites work? I have this question because usually the nameservers that I use, they always point to a CP page or something like that rather than a parking page.
I would like to know how to allow customers to use their own php.ini file. I have had hosts in the past that allowed you to use a custom php.ini file so long as you put it in every directory that you would need to use it.
I was just trying to figure out how this is done as I am new to all of this and trying to learn.
I'm using CentOS 5, Cpanel/WHM with php as cgi, when i try to put a php.ini file to to custom php for one account and it overwrite main setting on our server, someone use this bug to run c99 and try local attack other account, i've try fix this problem by edit /opt/suphp/etc/suphp.conf and set phprc_paths to /usr/local/lib/. But when i do this, php.ini in my custom account doesnt work any more... How can i custom php for one account and it not effect to main setting to prevent local attack?
I have a reseller account on a server, and I have a client who needs to used a custom php.ini file to set the session.save_path variable. He has created this file and placed in the public_html folder, but this path still comes up as 'No Value' and the Configuration File Path still reads '/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini '.
What do I need to do to get this site to read from the correct php.ini file? I tried setting this in the .htaccess file, to no avail.
I'm just starting doing web pages as a side business. What I'm wondering is if I should pay for the monthly fees for the web hosting and just charge the customer for design and maintance?
or
Should I get the customer to buy their own web hosting and the site gets uploaded to that site and they pay for the hosting?
As you can see I'm really new to this. I'm thinking of getting the "power" plan from [url]so I can upload and create multiple websites for different customers?
What do you people typically do for small business maybe only 2-5 customers?
I recently signed up for hosting with ASO on a shared hosting plan with intentions to operate an SMF forum. Prior to going live, I would like to prepare for a possible upgrade to a VPS in the near future if the forum exceeds allowed resources on the shared platform, specifically the MySQL connections which appears to be set at 40. I am currently utilizing the ASO nameservers and was wondering the following:
If I setup custom nameservers at Namecheap and request likewise from ASO, when it comes time to switching to a VPS, can I perform the following and anticipate downtime only during steps 2 & 3?
1) Configure the VPS (including DNS)
2) Switch forum to maintenance mode and transfer data to VPS
3) Change the customer nameserver IP addresses at Namecheap
Basically, I want to verify that I won't experience the 24 to 48 hrs of downtime associated with changing nameservers. Additionally, are there any known disadvantages of having custom nameservers on a shared hosting plan?
I would like set backup for my vps in a specific way but it seem is not possible..
I would like set weekly backup for the whole vps accounts. This can be set easily by choosing "weekly" and by ticking Retention option Monthly..Like that daily and monthly backup will be not performed and only weekly backup will be done...well. Now I would like allow for some specific account more interval like also daily or also monthly or also daily and monthly...
This seem to be not possible under WHM....I see only the option to choose some specific account to make or not backups...but not to choose more interval..
So I must probably do that manually and set a cron job for the specific account I need but not see exactly how I must do..In fact am not very confident with SSH and I don't know exactly what code to type...
I have configured a custom 500.100 Error for one of my web sites in IIS 6.0. However, the custom error page appears nested within the HTML of the page throwing the error, at the point the error occurs.
This is problematic as live errors are being overlooked when they appear late in the script as the majority of the page outputs normally.
On my development server IIS 5.1 this does not happen. The Custom Error Page is shown as its own page. The errors cannot go unnoticed.
How can I change IIS 6.0's Customer Error to behave like my development server, and do it just for the one web site concerned?
I have a server that has Cpanel doing nightly backups using the built in auto backup tool in WHM. However, I have one account on the server with a 7 GB database. Everytime this database was dumped to the backup it would lock the database from users accessing it for about 30 minutes.
So instead, I'm now using a slave/master replication setup to do the database backup incrementally and have excluded this account from being backed up every night.
However, I would still like to be able to back up the account itself. Is there a way to setup a unique cron task to backup just this one account and skip the mysql database export?
Does cpbackup do anything more than just zipping up the account's folder in the home directory? Or are there other files it needs to keep in order to do a restore?
Quite often here people suggest negotiating a custom package.
I did that several years back and it has survived a couple of host ownership changes but now it is not being honored by the latest owner.
The price went up without notice (other than a bigger invoice, received too close to the notice period to do anything), and key features I needed have been withdrawn.
I don't suppose I have much option but to move on.
What experience do others have of this?
And for those of you who sell, and maybe have taken on clients from a previous owner, what would your attitude to long term customers be?
We'd like to host an application that will be controlled through web access at a specific port. We also want to control the amount of data traffic on a per user basis.
How can we do this? Can we bind a specific server IP : Port to a user and control the data from that. How can we make sure that only one user access one server IP and Port and so cancel user overlapping (one user finds out another IP and Port and uses that).
We will be using Windows Server 2003 and can have Plesk Control Panel installed.
I have a use for multiple FTP accounts on my server for different graphic design projects and clients. I would like to give my clients each their own account to upload files too and download from. I have noticed currently I am forced to use usernames such as "username@domain_name.com" on FTP accounts. I would like to avoid this so I can have accounts set-up as below.
ftp server: ftp.domainname.com (<--- would use this domain exclusively for FTP only, no hosting or email) user: usermame password: password
I know cPanel says you must use the domain name in the username when the server is hosting multiple accounts, however if I rent another server exclusively for FTP can this be avoided? I have personally used many FTP sites where the domain name is NOT included when accessing the account. This is exactly what I want. Any ideas on how I go about doing this?
My [new] host doesn't offer custom DNS records. Obviously, this upsets me somewhat as I need some custom DNS records (mainly A Records).
Would this be possible:
I've got a few servers with SoftLayer. If I pointed my domain to SoftLayer's nameservers and handled the DNS there, could I simply forward everything to their servers from SoftLayer's "Manage DNS" (such as www, mail, ftp, etc), then create the custom DNS myself? Would this work?
Hope that's clear enough to understand!
If not, is there another possible work-around? I need custom A Records!
I got a good response last time with suggestions on where to go for co-location, and I've made a choice where I'll be co-locating within the next month or two. So now is the time to look into buying a server. Does anyone know of any good places to custom build 1U Servers online to get a quote and buy one?
I've looked at a few different places and tried searching on here, maybe the words I used in the search weren't right as all I found was dedicated server prices or resellers.
I've been searching for a way to add custom attributes into an LDAP schema. At first I didn't know if it was possible, but I guess it is. What I can't seem to find out now, is how to add them? Do I have to make a custom schema & upload it? How do I go about adding these fields? This all stems from me using other attributes for different functions, ie ( I'm using the employeeNumber field to determine if someone is allowed internet access. What I would like to do is make an attribute called inetAccess and use that instead.)
I'm using OpenLDAP on a Linux OS (SuSE). Anyone have any experience in adding custom attributes, or custom schemas? Or can anyone direct me to where I would find the answers?
I am trying to control access to an asp page by using windows resource groups. The virtual directory in IIS has both 'Integrated Windows Authentication' and 'Basic Authentication' checked.
When an unauthorized user tries to access this page, it prompts thrice for the user ID and password before going to the 'user not authorized' page. I want it to display the error the very first time an unauthorized user tries to access this page and not ask him thrice before throwing the error page.
The operating system being used is Windows 2003 server.
