Wondering What Is Normal - Hosting Mutliple Sites On One Account
Sep 23, 2007
I am just wondering what is normal when you point a domain name to a folder on an existing hosting account, as far as the urls in the address bar go?
I have my own website which has mega space, and my host allows up to 5 domains to be hosted in folders...so I thought I'd host b/friend's new website there.
His site is a WordPress installation.
I pointed the A record of his domain name to my hosts ip address , and it resolved fine. However, when I click on any of his articles, the full url of mysite is displayed in the address bar of the browser, which I don't want.
I've never tried to host another site on mysite before and just wondering what is normal as far as urls go? I'm thinking I've either missed a step somewhere, or it's a WordPress thing, or a host thing, or it's normal and I'm wasting my time trying to find a fix.
The ideal situation would be that the full urls of his_site are showing in the browser address bar.

I have created a addon domain using cpanel.
I would like to restore awstats from prevous host (normal account) to 'addon domain' (domain2-addon.domain.co.uk).
My backup awstats:
awstats.domain.co.uk.conf
awstats122005.domain.co.uk.txt
awstats052005.domain.co.uk.txt
etc.
need to restore it to addon domain? but addon domain is setup under domain2-addon.domain.co.uk
so i have to rename each file like awstats.domain2-addon.domain.co.uk.conf etc?

I have about 5 sites all hosted on my same hosting account. One of those domains is attached to the hosting account. I place my other domains in a folder of a sub-directory of my main domain. This has been working fine, up until today when i noticed a weird error. I give you a little example of how my sites are setup
my main domain:
www.maindomain.com
My other sites hosted in a sub-directory of my main domain:
www.maindomain.com/sites/site2/
www.maindomain.com/sites/site3/
How my other sites appear on the web:
www.site2.com
www.site3.com
This works fine for every page until i go to www.site2.com/index.php
It redirects to www.maindomain.com/sites/site2/index.php for some reason

As a domainer I have several domainnames I like to add to a hostingaccount.
Many of the domains will have a blog or minisite.
At this moment I have a shared hosting account with unlimited domains.
But for seo reasons it is better not to link the domains/urls to eachother cause they have the same IP.
What can you recommend me to have all the domains on different IP's?
Or is there another way to do this,I heard something about c-class....
If I have to put the domains on different IP's on my shared hosting account I will have to pay $2,50 for an IP per month,this will be quite expensive.

I signed up with GoDaddy shared hosting just a couple days ago. I logged into my site using SSH and FileZilla.
And I see hundreds of folders and files that are not mine. These are files from some random account. These are not the basic starter-folders/files.
Yet when I connect via FTP (not SSH), I only see the regular starter-set with just a few folders and a few files (not hundreds).
This seemed totally loopy, so I called customer support, and the support guy agreed that it was not right. He "escalated" the issue to technical support. I received an email from them asking for screenshots of all these random files I see via SSH.
I sent in the screenshots of FileZilla showing all these files.
Then GoDaddy responded with this:
--------------------------------------------
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting Hosting Support.
We have reviewed your hosting account [edit] and SSH does in fact show more files than typical FTP. This is normal and not something to be alarmed about. As you are on the shared environment there is certain folders that you will not be able to access, one such example provided in your screenshots is 'herawellness', attempting to access this directory will result in a access denied error. If you are attempting to upload web content you will need to put the content in the the /html/ directory.
If you are having trouble using SSH you may want to consult your favorite search engine for assistance with SSH commands.
Please contact us if you have any further issues.
Regards,
Adam M.
Hosting Support
----------------------------------------------
This doesn't seem right at all.
I've only hosted with one other host besides godaddy, and using SSH I did not suddenly see hundreds of random files from some random account.

We are looking for a good multiple WAN router for our office. We just ordered two DSL 3.0mbps down / 768kbps up lines.
Here are the requirements:
--> Under $500
--> 2 WAN Load Balanced And Fail Over Support
--> Smart enough to handle special session state traffic. Example, if you start a HTTPS session on one DSL line it has to stay on that line. If you start an FTP session connection on one line it has to stay on that line.
--> VPN Tunnel Site-To-Site Support, Only need a max of 1 site-to-site tunnel, but nice to have more just in case.
--> Standard SPI Firewall With Port Forwarding
--> Reserve LAN Static IP's
--> Firewall throughput of at least 10mbps

i have about 80 domains with godaddy and about 30-40 with 1and1. i have two hosting packages with 1and1 a "home" package and a "business" package. i have a main site up on the business package right now. the home package has tons of files from an old forum that really could just be wiped out.
My question is that i have a few sites being developed right now. 3-4 to be exact, can i host them all on the same package? i want each to not be a sub of anything. What do i do? Calling tech support yielded worthless answers. Do i need a different type of account?

Looks like Im not the only one being canned for alleged "black hat seo, scaping" reason. I have no idea what that was about? Blogda that used RSS feeds? What bothers me the most is lack of response from them about giving be access to get data for my sites. Terri from DH just deleted my support tickets. Does anyone have other contacts at DH? I was being a*hole or anything, just asked what exactly did I do wrong and get access to db and content.

I am interested in your suggestions as to what I should do. I need a setup that will allow me to host several sites. They are mostly my own and low traffic. I do not offer hosting to any other folks, if so, i will set the sites up myself. I need mysql, email and virus checker, php, and firewall. I would like unix/linus hosting and am used to cpanel. Would prefer east coast hosting since many sites pertain to local areas there. I was thinkg of a reseller or webmaster package.

who host ~20-30 doorway sites in his reseller account.
The main question is, that i don't know, does "doorway sites" illegal, do they restrict any rules, TOS? (webhosting business isn't my main business, so i'm newbie in this area)
There insn't anything abnormal in his sites. main page it's like sitemap, where are lister links to secondary pages (html static pages).
when i click on this links, i redirected to other sites (PPC, another sites don't hosted on our server, etc)
if it's illegal, i'll ask to move to another host, if no ...

Hi I've never worked with a dedicated host, and I was considering going with hostgator, because they provide managed hosting and cPanel, which I'm fond of.
This is not for my own sites, but for someone I work for as a programmer/webmaster. He has asked that I make the decision on this, even though I've basically advised against it, due to my lack of experience with dedicated hosting.
I've also looked at lunarpages, doesn't seem to be much different than hostgator. Here are links to their pages...
http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated.shtml
http://www.lunarpages.com/dedicated-hosting/
Does anyone have experience from either of these? I don't think the sites hosted on the server are going to be particularly high bandwidth sites (I don't really think they even need a dedicated host) ... do you think we'll be okay with a single 2.8 Ghz processor?
Also, does anyone have any advice as far as the number of sites hosted on the server? He wants to move ALL of them to the same server. Any thoughts on whether or not this is a good idea?
I know I've asked a lot here but I'm really getting into new territory. If you can provide any input on ANY of the above items, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I say relative, because I have built several websites in the past, going back to 1998 or so, but have never really pursued it heavily, and only recently have decided to get into the game on a more proactive scale.
In searching for a web host, I run across common TOS which seems on the surface to exclude what I want to do, which among other niches I've got in mind, include investing (gold, real estate, forex, commodities, etc.).
Maybe some of the hosting vendors here can help me with clarification. I do not want to host an investment platform, like a stock or forex trading platform. I just want to publish info sites with affiliate links to the investment products I deem worthy.
Any problem with that? If so, does anyone know of good hosting for such sites?
I've perused many hosting forums lately and find this one to be among the top of the top! Good job WHT owners!

I work for Microsoft. Used to be a regular participant on Web Hosting Talk a few years ago (then moved over to Europe at that time). I've been doing some work recently that has led me back to the community here to ask for some input on where administrators of Windows-based hosting services go to find technical information.
How often might you use the following two Web sites?
1) [Hosting Solutions on TechNet]
2) [Windows Hosting Discussions]
I've just re-registered a new account so I have to do the five post thing before I can insert links, otherwise I'd to a direct link to the two above. If you're not familar with them, just do a Web search for those phrases and the sites will be at the top of the list.
Are there other Web sites that you use regularly for technical information on operating Windows hosting services? Or do you mostly just enter a phrase in Google and temporarily use the Web site/s that come up in the search results?

If you have current experience with hosting Gallery2 photo sites, please give us your opinion on hosts.
Gallery2 is PHP and MySQL based.
I am looking at a few customers (schools, sports groups) who would eventually have 2 to 5 GB of photos, but fairly light hits (Students, Parents, Friends). This would not be a NFL site! But responsiveness is relatively important.
Medium-cost (Say up to $15/M) shared hosting probably? Looking at maybe Hostgator, HostMonster, A1WebHosting. Your experiences/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
My current site on (!PowWeb) is passable, but I want these sites ElseWhere...
