What is the best hosting solution for a $600k/year company needing 100% uptime email and a simple (no forums or ecommerce) website?
The company does not need huge volumes of disk-space or bandwidth so a dedicated server seems to be overkill. That said, a $20/month shared package seems cheap.
Only just started designing sites for clients as an add-on to promotional work, all of which are on shared servers that clients have organised for themselves, so all we do is Ftp content to the servers when required. However, we now have a client who wants to use video on their site, which, I understand, requires a dedicated server if we do not want to use a video hosting service (is there a video hosting service that does not demand credit when the video is run?).
The move to a dedicated server is a step into the unknown for us. If we have a dedicated server, does this give us the potential to host other client sites on it? What should we be looking for in terms of bandwidth, transfer rates, etc? Can anyone recommend good video streaming software? What are the potential pitfalls?
I'm currently with Hawkhost but I want to move to a UK hosting service as I'm finding Hawkhost to be rather sluggish.
I currently have 15 websites (not that data intensive) but I want to find a UK host that offers shared hosting and then offers the possibility of moving all the data onto a dedicated machine once some of the sites take off.
A) do any companies actually offer such a service of relocating?
B) are there any anyone could recommend? I'm thinking of eventually getting a dedicated server for up to 75 pounds a month.
From reading a good lot of posts here, I can see that HostGator seems to be a good company and that many have a good feedback to give about it. I've also been reading that you should avoid overselling, though understand that some companies, even though they offer "Unlimited space and bandwidth", they can manage it well. I guess HostGator falls in that category too. My questions here:
1) So what are the conditions under which it is okay to go for a company that offers unlimited space and bandwidth? (Expecting answers like 'if you just have a few blogs and don't require...')
I have read (here and elsewhere) that for most people's requirements, a shared web hosting would do. However, for someone a with a little more web baggage (individuals, not businesses), it is generally advised that they look at semi-dedicated hosting plans.
2) Based on the above quoted, objectively, what are the things that you should look at (like traffic per day etc) and what should be their values (for e.g. like 15000 uniques per day etc) while considering moving from sharing to semi-dedicated plans? I think some of them are the following, can you give me approximate values for these when I should consider the move?
a) Traffic
b) Number of active websites
c) Sites with heavy resource usage. (Can you give me some examples of this?)
d)...
What else am I missing in this list?

I have a reseller account with 20 or so accounts using WHM. I now have my own dedicated server loaded with WHM. I want to move the accounts to the new server, but WHM asks for the reseller server's root pass which of course I don't have.

How do I move these accounts?

All my ips are stored on the same root ip, i am moving one of my forums from the default IP to a separate IP. I populated the DNS and my webite shows up properly on the new IP, but my forum is comming up as a database error.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix the problem? Or tools I can run? Or is it merely not connecting to the database yet, because of some name server or other issue?
I'm with Dreamhost right now.. got in on a cheap deal years ago. I've been too lazy to keep myself at the best host, but my friend keeps telling me to move over to Host Gator?
Should I? I'm just on one of the shared hosting plans. I run a Wordpress blog I find to be extremely slow on Dreamhost. Maybe I customized it too much or maybe they just totally oversell CPU resources. Do you think it would be wise to move over and expect an improvement?
I just moved a website I took over to a new host. The programmer hard-coded the DB in. The old code refers to the mediatemple address:
mysql_connect("internal-db.s5363.gridserver.com", "db5363", "-removed-") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db5363_bb", $link)
how I can configure this for the new (CPanel) IGX Host server?
I'm going to be moving to a new server soon. Does anyone have a list, or recommended reading describing what one needs to do when moving to a new server?
I can't seem to find any info on this.. probably because i'm not wording it correctly

I have been running a small web hosting business now for a couple of years, and have around 100 customers. This is all run through a reseller package with BPWeb.
Recently I decided to expand, and purchased another company. This one has nearer 200 customers, and is with EUK host with a dedicated server.
I am going to merge the two onto the dedicated, as I have Cpanel and WHM there. BPweb only offer their own custom control panel.
All my previous customers are hosting only, so I have no access to their nameservers. I need to as smoothly as possible move these customers across. I thought I'd move the domain that all their namesevers point to already over to the new dedicated server, and that should follow there. But how can I move content of these 200 accounts over. Simple webpages I'd just FTP, but things like Cron jobs and databases....
Currently i have an account running on directadmin. Possible for me to move all the email account and mailbox to another server which is using cpanel?

I wish to download the following file : wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

If any one got information please share as it could be really helpful for us, as we need to download files almost 10-20 different such files to our site
We are going to be moving our 10 Servers and various other equipment to a new facility here in Chicago. I have a few question I wanted to ask to backup my current thinking.
We are primarily a web host so all of out users either have their DNS set to our DNS server or they have a dedicated IP and an A record pointed to it. Currently we run a private NAT and have private IP's on the internal servers. The firewall handles the NAT'ing between the public and private IP's.
The primary question I have is if we change the IP address at our registrar for our DNS will the change still be subject to the 24-48 hours of propagation? Since we are not changing the NS records and only changing the IP's I would have to assume that his changeover should be fairly quick.
Two, im looking for the best way to setup our new cab are they any network admin photo gallery's?
to move:

/tmp 1012 506 506 50% /var/tmp
to /home
and make Symlink or something.
When it is the time for moving from shared hosting to VPS?
May I know the signal for it? Maybe space, bandwith or other things?
Yes, I know the shared hosting provider will give notification when the time has came.
But usually it is very close and I must upgrade to VPS asap. So I do not have time to look around to get better deal.

Is there a more simple and efficient way?
I've been with LayeredTech and my yearly renewal is up. Their pricing went up significantly, so I'm shopping at SoftLayer amongst others. My site gets roughly 700k unique visitors and 1.8 million pageviews. These numbers will likely go up. I run vBulletin and Joomla dbs. I have two identical servers (one has cPanel). They are configured:
Dual Quad Core 5310 Intel XEON's 1.60 GHz-- Dual 73GB SCSI drives - 4GB RAM -- 8GB Cache.
The webserver uses Litespeed as an apache replacement.
Q: They are offering upgrades to either Xeon 5320 or 5335. Does anyone have a recommendation on either?
Q: I've heard that database servers don't necessarily need as much spec wise as webservers. Should I upgrade my webserver? Downgrade the mySQL server?
Unfortunately, I need to make this move today to get the pricing and put the wheels in motion, so I don't get billed by Layered Tech for 1 year of service.

I believe my new host will happily do so.. and, I'd really like to know how to do it myself.
Two of the sites have blogs with lots of posts on them.
If you know of any video tutorials, I'd appreciate it.
I've watched one on backing up the site to "remote ftp server". I do not know what that means and have not been able to find a description/definition.
I have recently registered a new dedicated server, I am trying to move some sites over. Essentially, what I am trying to do is copy the public_html folder from one server to another.
I have root access on both accounts, I have managed to move the whole home folder from the old to the new, but I guess I would need to download all 2gigs worth of data then upload again, or is it possible to extract only the information you need from the compressed backup.
I am thinking that specifying data from an uncompressed folder wouldn't be possilbe, so, is there a way of moving certain folders from one server to another via SSH?
I was just wondering is it possible to move a directory to another server through SSH?
I bought a website a few weeks ago and I have all the files on the server except 30gb of content, now I've tried to put the folder into a tar archive but every time I try it brings up this error:
So I need a way to drag that folder from the old server to my new server through SSH because it will take me ages downloading and uploading all the content.
