In my search for a good web host, I noticed that many of them have names of predators. For example: HostMonster, HostGator, HawkHost, HostHyena, etc. etc.
what's so special about web hosting that it makes their owners give names like this?
Are there any web hosts that allow spaces in file names?
I am building a web site using Adobe GoLive. It contains many photo galleries using Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Adobe Media Gallery). When I upload a test site to my domain hosted by Yahoo using SmartFTP, it is rejected because the file names of my photos contain spaces. See <hayesphotos.biz> When I look at other photographers' sites, many use real world file names with spaces. I have inquired at two other large web hosts and they tell me that spaces will appear on their sites as "%20". My test site looks fine when previewed on my web browser with spaces. Their answer is to use underscores. Am I asking too much for a web host that allows file names in english?
I was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!
I am running Apache2.2, PHP5.I have been running with virtual hosts on a Windows 7 environment fine for a couple of years successfully, but have just had to move to a Windows 8 environment.It looks like Apache and PHP have installed and are working fine, but my Virtual hosts are now not being recognised. From what I can tell, it is the Windows 8 hosts file that is having a problem, as it looks as though it is now just setup to Block websites.
If I make the host file just have the one line127.0.0.1 localhost entry, then the very first Virtual Host from my apache config file will come up, but the rest are not found.If I put the usual 127.0.0.1 mywebsite.name aliasname is appears as though my website works momentarily and then is blocked..
Recently I stumbled along a host on here with a good rep and that uses direct admin.
Because they were very nice on the live support I signed up to see what direct admin was like.
Its very diferent from cpanel. Some parts seem to be harder to use like the phpmyadmin requires the username and password to the database you created not the control panel username and password like cpanel. Although I guess that could be a good security feature just in case some one gets into the control panel they can not get into the phpmyadmin, then again if they are smart and were able to get into the control panel they could get into ftp and look what the username and password is on the config file for the script you are using.
The bandwidth meter seems to be better in direct admin although I think its acting up for me as its putting yesterdays bandwidth on todays. I was told by the host that it updates every 2 hours and at first it did but now its gone to every day. Oh and unlike cpanel this bandwidth meter includes bandwith used by the control panel.
Niether one from what I can tell counts sftp though at least for the hosts I have right now.
Are ALL the names taken ?? I was just messing around to see if there were any available names + "host" or "hosting" word but they're ALL TAKEN

I have the site hosted on hostultra.com
Whenever I put the address in (.com) it stays as the label in the address bar on every page.
Is having the hosting and and domain with the same company the only way to make the pages say mysite.com/index.html etc ?
Without using masking of course.
Is there a list somewhere of what the various hostnames one sees when running a traceroute?
Some are obvious, but quite a few aren't.
I come across car1 and car2 a lot, but can't quite figure those out.
(Example: gigabitethernet6-24.car2.bos1.Level3.net -- the "gigabitethernet" is obvious, as is bos1 (Boston). But car2? And it shows up towards the other end: ae-31-89.car1.Washington1.Level3.net. (Bonus: what's the "ae" at the start denoting?)
csw, ebr, mpr, and ash are all common followed by a single number, too. (pos and tge show up on RCN a lot.) cr, dcr, ecr, hr on Savvis?
I got abc.com and xyz.com websites hosted on my dedicated server with whm control panel.
abc is my dev site and xyz is my current running live site. Now my dev site is done and I like to launch without uploading files to xyz.com. Both sites are on same server.
So, I am thinking to rename xyz.com to nonexisting.com in whm (site will down at that time). After that, rename abc.com to xyz.com. In order to rename site names, I have to use Main >> Account Functions >> Modify an Account , and edit domain name>>save.
if this is going to work for everything including email settings, ftp etc...

Is it possible to add too many aliased domain names on a Dedicated server? I have Hostgator's most powerful dedicated server and I added probably 150 domain names as aliases to one of my websites. Now today all of the sudden none of my other sites will load on the web. When I try to go to one of my sites it just thinks and thinks but never loads.
I'm using WHM with cPanel. Can aliased names cause too much server load? Some of those 150 domains get a little traffic but not much.
Ocassionally some users have problems to connect the their websites, they can connect to the server via browser and can ping it and tracert the server IPs fine, they can also browse domains having a dedicated IP address. But they can't connect or ping their websites from their end, basically I think the domain name is not resolving.
From our end and the rest of users everything works fine.
Once I get a complain of this type I try whatever I can do
Check to see if their IP is not blacklisted
Restart named service
Restart apache service
But most of the time this doesn't work at all.
Exactly as the problem comes it goes, nothing I did seems to have any effect on the solution. It goes and ocassionally reappears.
Would you suggest me what would I do to find where the problem is and try to solve it.
we run a small company with some domain names which are critical to us probably just like yours.
I am wondering how do you guys manage your domain names? Who is your DNS provider, do you trust them etc...?
We currently have an account at 1and1 and there is a little bit of insecurity feelings.
I have 10 dedicated Ip addresses and recently spotted in my stats for one of my sites, that some odd domain names were mirroring my site. On checking they were using my IP address and displaying my website.
I have no idea how they could have done this.
I changed my sites IP address to anopther in my range, however these domain names still point to my IP and whatever site I have put there.
Someone has said to me it is a form of phishing, but I dont know how they could have done this and whether I can somehow stop this happening. The domains that have kind of hijacked my IP are
ipinikoparan dot com
and
durmakyokyoladevam dot com
odd enough domain names, could someone have set this up and is it some kind of security risk?
So I've just been browsing around and I've checked out a couple of peoples portfolios. Some of you guys have 100's of domain names registered under you waiting for someone to buy it.
So that's my question, how can you have so many domains registered? Isn't that very expensive?
I am setting up a service where I want the 'sites' all to point to an address with xyz.mydom.com (as an example).
The xyz would then be the customers name ...
How do I do this, what do I use. If someone could give me some pointers os that I can get started ...
Do I need to register each of these names?
a command to extract the domain names from the following .txt file.
sss.com 59 01/09/2008 13:45
edd.com 59 01/09/2008 13:45
i want to extact the domains sss.com and edd.com in another txt file.
I found good domain available names and when I tried to register using some webhosting companies they were first shown as available and in the next step of registration they were claimed to be taken. It does not happen with "not so good" names.
I think it happened with whois.net and register.com
So it looks like there is no way to register a good name?
Even when checking whois may have your good domain name stolen.
Can someone comment this and share his/her experience.
Which regetar and whois companies can I use safely?
Could you please share your experiences on having domains and hosting with the same company? What are your opinions on free domains provided by hosting companies? Do you have domain names with the same company or separately?

The other vps is just hypervm with lxadmin panel and one ip. I have nameservers setup on vps1 and all domains work. I would now like to add a domain name to the other vps and use the first servers nameserver. The second vps only has one ip so i wasnt able to setup the domain name there. Is there a guide on how to setup domain names accross two servers with one namesserver. I tried a few options but nothing seems to work.
what do i need to do in whm I already added the domain name to the second vps, i just dont know how to get it to point to first vps and first vps point to domain name.
I know how to work whm but am very new to lxadmin(only two weeks)
I have a spider that is saving a few images files everyday on my servers. Due to the fact that the images are dynamically created the spider is not only saving them without an extention, but also using charachters from the link to create those file names.
I end up with:
0&Y=0
1&Y=0
2&Y=0
3&Y=0
.... and so on.
(there is no problems browsing those image files
What I need is to copy those files or move them to file names with an extention (png) for protection reasons.
I failed using cp, mv in doing so. it seams that the OS doesn't see those files as files.
That is how those files appear in ssh:
0&Y=0
1&Y=0
2&Y=0 ...
I have several domain names and I pay for hosting for each domain name. Each domain name gets little traffic, uses little bandwidth, and little storage space. I would like to pay for hosting once and share the bandwidth and storage space amongst the multiple sites. Do you know of a hosting company that offers this? I suppose it would involve having one hosting account and multiple IP addresses that resolve to different folders in your account?
View 12 Replies View RelatedOur apache server is not resolving host names only ips. When i check the access.log it is denying entry for any host
For example I have set "Require host test1.internal.com.au" in the httpd.conf and the follow occurs test1.internal.com.au denied
If i set the physical ip of test1.internal.com.au (192.168.3.23) in httpd.conf then there is no issue and test1 can access the machine.
my server seems to have lost its ability to do name lookups:
Quote:
[root@cp ~]# wget =>`ossec-hids-2.0.tar.gz'
Resolving failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
it hangs on the "Resolving bit for a long time.
my resolv.conf file is as follows:

nameserver 66.90.68.16
nameserver 66.90.68.26
which are the 2 nameservers of my datacenter.
I tried doing a /scripts/upcp --force and I get this:

the sites I am hosting use PHP script that make a lot of outbound web connections so this is crippling my server
I know this question has been asked before but I tried the solutions I could find on net but not total success.
So, I have a shared hosting a/c with a domain(say www.xyz.com) pointing to it ..
Now I want a second domain (www.secondsite.com) to point to www.xyz.com/secondsitefolder
There was this article that says to use 'ZoneEdit' [url]how-to-...ting-aaccount/
And it works but the problem is when someone types www.secondsite.com in the browser, the browser url changes to www.xyz.com/secondsitefolder
Is there someway to stop tht browser url change or what's the correct way to have 2 domain names point to one shared hosting a/c.
We are setting up 100s of new domain names every day. We are only hosting a simple blog, in fact with our current setup we are on a HostGator Reseller account and we are just using one account meaning one single cPanel account.
We have a script that automatically runs when people sign up for our service, this script sets up an addon domain on that same single cPanel account with the same document root. Our modified wordpress blog simply looks at the HTTP_HOST in the config file and opens a separate database tables for every new domain name.
The problem we are running into is not the bandwidth usage, nor storage space. But simply the mass addon domains. The cPanel adddomain.html script seems to be getting ran so many times it is overloading the web server.
So I have read about some other people here WHT that are starting to use a new server software that uses a lot less server resources then WHM and cPanel. So I am wondering what hosting companies can provide that sort of a server.
Specifically:
Storage: A couple hundred GB
Bandwidth: 1000s of GB
Server software to run PHP scripts and mySQL databases
Ability to create 1000s of addon domains every day.
Does this need to be an array of servers?
We are ready to get moving on a deal now.
I have a dedicated server hosted in some data center. The server provider has provided me an IP address. I have bought a a domain name which redirects the traffic to that IP.
I have not been provided with any nameserver.
My question is is it possible that I register multiple domain names against the same IP address? If yes how?
How do I change mass database names in mysql?
I have hundred of database names with "$" in the name? How do I change all instances of "$" with "_"?
How can it be determined that multiple domains are "affiliated" with each other? For example, at the link below, on the left side of the page it says that yahoo.com, yahoo.net, and yahooligans.com are owned together. Does this mechanism use WHOIS records, or does it use the IP addresses to which each address resolves (which would only get sites that use named-based virtual hosting to the same IP address, right?)
[url]
If people run multiple sites, say personal and business, and they don't want them to be affiliated, how can they make sure they can’t be linked with each other through such mechanisms?
I am currently running Apache on Ubuntu 14.04. I tried adding an alias, but it doesn't do exactly what I need. I have a single site and I need to point two domain names to it. The thing is, if someone types in www.site1.com I want it to show the url as www.site1.com and if someone types in www.site2.com I want it to continue to show www.site2.com in the URL. Right now if they type in www.site1.com it shows the first site name as the URL, but if they type in www.site2.com it changes the URL to www.site1.com. Below is what I have as my virtual host in my conf file currently.
OS - Ubuntu 14.04
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)
