Website Design Creation Software

Jun 14, 2008

It seems there are several ways to get a website:Build it yourself using tools software

like Dreamweaver, MS Frontpage, etcHand coded using basic text editors (or combination WYSIWYG and hand coded for w3c validation)Web builders & site studio web tools provided by web hosts Templates (both original and modified)

What I am most interested in knowing is choice most people use and for the web hosts/designers out there, do you find most people favor templates and site building software over customer design?

Personally, I have found most people favor either modified templates and custom designs and find web building tools like SiteBuilder and Site Studio too limiting.

Some people seems to still like Fantastico Deluxe though.

Trusted Web Hosts For A Design / Portfolio Website

Apr 11, 2009

I have almost finished designing my site and so I'm looking for a host. However, in looking for hosts I found that a lot of them were scams or were not to be trusted. There were lots of review websites that gave a top 10 listing, and the top 2 always used to be justhost and hostingmonster. Which I didn't really trust as Justhost gave me this silly thing when I tried to leave the page saying 'you can talk to a special agent to get a discount' and all that tosh.

So basically, I'm looking for a host that has a fair amount of space, preferably linux OS and preferably in the UK, and it must have MySQL support and be nice cheap one if possible, around £3.00 a month is fine.

Network Design / VLANs Design

Apr 9, 2008

We are co-located at a datacenter and host web sites, and corporate email systems, as well as host dedicated servers for customers.

We currently have two /25 internet facing subnets from our provider. We have a Watchguard X5500e 8 port gigabit firewall that supports routing as well as VLANs. We also currently own QTY4 2848 HP Gigabit switches.

We currently have each switch connected in a loop with 2 gigabit ports trunked using static LCAP. The switches are connected as follows:
A > B
B > C
C > D
D > A

Rapid STP is turned on. One thing is - is this the ideal trunking scheme?

The more important question is this. We would like to separate ips from each other using VLANing.

IE: we might have a client with 5 different IPs in one or more subnets and we would like to group them together.

We ideally do not want to break up the subnets into smaller ones as it makes it hard to reconfigure and it wastes ip addresses, as we do not have that many.

DooptNet Design + Ben

May 13, 2009

Recently we bough a design from DooptNet here @ WHT - See Original Thread

However, After several weeks of having this new design and numerous amounts of time and editing & making our site look a little more respectable, We got this weird live chat conversation with a gentleman named BEN.

This was around 7am AEST & his first sentence to start off this conversation was:

Quote:

Hi Sean, my name is Ben, and I am giving you 24 hours to remove your web site template that you have stolen otherwise I will public display that you have ripped another members template for personal use without permission of the original owner


Wow that was a bit significant to me as we bought this template from DooptNet here at WHT and the thread is located above. We paid $100 AUD/USD for this and we never stole it as it was said in the starting sentence from Ben.

Ben went on to say that:

Quote:

This topics will be displayed in the largest on-line communities on the internet, these include Web Hosting Talk, Warez-BB, wjunction and so forth.

For real right?

Ben also went on further to say that many other people have fallen for this and this is all part of a Con. I am not sure if Ben is telling the truth, But I would like some word from Sean @ DooptNet and this Ben Person.

No E-mail Address was left but - Admin@webhostingtalk.com in the Live Chat.

I asked Ben where we have ripped this site from as I would like to see it, After this Ben left the chat but before hand demanded that I remove the Stolen Content within 24hrs.

Not sure what to do from here, I have contacted Sean here at WHT and are still awaiting a response.

Network Design

Jan 12, 2007

I'm designing a network that should be able to support both dedicated servers and also offer colocation (full rack and half rack). Things will be relatively small at start but the design must be able to scale. The colo area will be secured from the dedicated server area.

Right now, this is what I'm thinking:

CORE/DISTRIBUTION combined:
- Two cisco 6509's running HSRP
- Each 6509 is connected to the same two upstream ISP's via BGP (so that means 4 links in total)
- Each 6509 is connected to the access switches (described below)
- The 6509's will have a single gigabit crossconnect between them so that they can talk to each other for HSRP, iBGP, etc.

ACCESS
- Each of our racks will have an L3 switch at the top of the rack for all the servers in the rack to plug into
- there will be ~30 servers per rack
- these switches will use 4 x 1 gbit ports for trunking to the core. They will be configured in two 802.3ad link aggregation groups (ie 2 x 1gbit links per LAG group). One LAG group will connect to the first 6509, the second LAG group will connect to the second 6509.
- The default gateway on these L3 switches will be configured with the HSRP virtual IP address of the 6509's.
-spanning tree will have to be enabled to avoid loops since the two 6509's are connected directly also

QUESTIONS:
1) Each dedicated server will get 5 usable IP addresses, so I'd have to subnet my IP address space accordingly (into a bunch of /29's). This also means that I'd have to setup 1 VLAN per subnet (wich means 1 VLAN per server!). Is this a scalable design? If I have 1000 servers I'd need 1000 VLAN's! Isn't there a limit to the number of VLANS that can be created/handled by my core switches? How do larger providers do it that have thousands of servers?

2) Is this design scalable/redundant? The only single point of failure that I see is my access switch (if it dies, it could take out a rack's worth of servers). I guess I would have to live with this and would have spares on hand.

3) I'm a little confused with the interaction of BGP and HSRP. What happens, for example, if one of the links to one of the ISP's goes down on the active HSRP router? I dont want it to fail over to the inactive HSRP router, because the router is still good, its just a link that went down. Would the active HSRP router be smart enough to realize (maybe via iBGP) that the inactive HSRP router can still route to that ISP and thus just ROUTE the traffic to that inactive 6509 and then have that router send it out to the ISP? I'm assuming this traffic would travel across the 1gbit xconnect between the two 6509's so I may have to consider increasing that capacity using link aggregation aswell?

4) Which cisco switch would be good as my L3 access switch? It would have to support ~30 servers in the rack plus have at least 4x1gbit ports that I can config into two lag groups to uplink to the core.

Network Design

Sep 24, 2007

I am comming across a few questions on how to do a setup for a network. I expect to have a redundant configuration similar to this:

________ISP1_______________ISP2
__________|(bgp)_____________|(bgp)
_______Router ---------BGP-------- Router
__________|_____\____ ___/_____|
__(bgp/ospf)|_________/_________|(bgp/ospf)
__________|___/___________ ___|
______L3 switch______________L3 switch

To this point (i hope the ascii diagram is understandable, i did my best on ASCII art), there are no problems. The problem comes when pluging in L2 switches. I would like them to be pluged to both L3 switches, but i don't see how to do this without HSRP or VRRP. The thing is L3 switches will also do VLAN's for the network, so HSRP would mean using 3 IP's for every VLAN and a terrible configuration mess.

I am not seeing the way to do this setup and attach a L2 switch to both L3 switches without using HSRP.

I just want redundancy for the case where one of the routers or L3 switches could fail.

Any light on this kind of setup?

As A Customer, How Much Does Design Matter

If you're browsing for a new host, do you care about the design of the site you're looking at? Would you be put off a host if their site was poorly designed and ugly?

Network Design For 3 Hosts

Jan 20, 2007

We just moved 3 1U's to a new colo center, from a single host in a managed facility. We need some advice on the best way to configure our topology. 2 Systems are Windows 2003, and 1 is Centos OS.

Each host has dual NICs, and we would like to configure 1 NIC for internal server to server traffic, and 1 NIC for the external Internet. We have a checkpoint VPN-1 firewall and several switches to work with.

Our current thinking is that the ALL NICs should be behind the firewall (for protection and for Qos control), and the external NICs need to be bound to the actual external IP address to avoid NAT issues with some of our Apps that can't handle NAT translation through the firewall (Asterisks VOIP using UDP for one).

Is it possible or recomended to do this? I have tried everything I can with our router to allow the external NICs to be bound to an external IP but still participate on the network behind the router to no avail.

Our other host had only 1 NIC bound to the external IP, and only the windows firewall turned on to provide firewall protection. We really dont have any real life experience configuring this type of setup,

A Good Host For Web Design Companies

Sep 3, 2008

I have been with Hostgator for over 2 years and they have been great.

However, I host all my clients on my own hostgator account and I absolutely cannot stand hostgator's backend interface (cpanel). Trying to manage my SQL databases, 200+ e-mail addresses, etc via cpanel is tedious.

I am also interested in getting a VPS or something similiar.

Establishing A Relationship With A Reseller For Sites I Design

Feb 28, 2007

I just design websites on the side. I've done about 10 or so and have ended up hosting them on my shared hostgator account as addon domains. I've decided to leave my current "day job" and want to try to pick up a few more web jobs in the interim.

I want to stop putting more websites in my shared account, I don't want to be a reseller and I want to be able to direct people to a host where they would get good customer service for hosting and email issues. I thought it would be nice to establish a relationship with a reseller to whom I could refer my web design clients. Ideally, it would be someone that's local (Twin Cities, MN) and I could meet in person to see if we'd work together well.

Do others do this? Does it seem to make sense to do this?

Another option would be to refer directly to hostgator. I've been happy with them but I haven't needed much in the way of customer service. Do they work well with hosting clients who don't know anything about hosting?

At some point I might want to be a reseller, but right now I want to concentrate on design and learning some new things (CMS is the next thing on my plate).

Offering Hosting As Part Of A Web Design Contract

Dec 24, 2007

Are there any web designers/developers who offer hosting to their clients as part of their website creation package. I am toying with the idea of only creating websites for people who host with me. I currently have a colo server, but only use it for personal things. So I have no experience with the needs and demands of clients in regards to hosting. What are some of your experiences with hosting for clients? Is it worth it?

Multiple Server/Cluster Design, Setup And Maintence

Mar 13, 2008

I work in a DC and am looking for a better way to deal with clients who have multiple servers hosted with us.

Heres the scenario. Client buys a server or two at the beginning, with a HW firewall or they are clustered together and require their own switch and down the road, they like what we do and want to buy more servers.

However, we've been selling other servers and the only way we would be able to accommodate them would be to run a cross connect to another cab with their new server in it. Hopefully you can see where I am going with this.

This can keep happening multiple times and with multiple clients. and eventually you can end up with spider web of cable everywhere .

My thought of doing it right but more work would be to schedule down time with a client and migrate all the HW to a new cabinet where they can grow.

Weve also been tossing around ideas like getting projected growth from clients and setting aside space for them to having dedicated cluster cabinets.

how do other DCs handle situations like this?

Web Design Business- VPS With Reseller Accounts & Transparent Client Support

Jul 29, 2007

I run an established web design business, and currently host my client sites at resellerzoom.com

I offer hosting to my customers and the numbers are growing so I need to upgrade to something more robust, but keep the end-user support (my customers can get support directly from host, and they will attempt to operate without their branding)

Here are my requirements:
End user support
WHM/Cpanel preferrably (or plesk equivelant)
512 - 1GB ram
50 - 100GB monthly transfer
I have been looking at modvps.com as they are owned by Hosting Zoom, which also owns resellerzoom.com

Web Site Creation Process

Oct 25, 2009

I'd like a brief explanation of the process of creating a web site.

Once I sign up, how do I actually construct/configure the web site. Are there templates that I change the colours, background and text of? I don't want to actually construct my own web pages. I just want to "brand/personalize" some template and then let it operate. (And if I'm using some ambiguous terms, please correct me.)

Also, I wanted to know if hosting companies allow one to experiment with an "offline" web site; one that I can set up and play with (via a password or such) using their templates until I have a better idea of what I want or what I can do in terms of presentation (perhaps a month?). Once that's done, I wanted the ability to cancel the whole idea or put what I have on line.

To provide some other info:

I am looking for a shared account, and I understand that bandwidth and disk space are the key requirements, but thanks for the reminder. I have heard about some tools, but for the time being let's just talk about process.

How Long Does Database Creation With Godaddy Hosting Take

Aug 17, 2008

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?
