I'm trying to understand how nameservers work. Here is what I would like to do. I'd like to have one nameserver point to my main hosting account and the second one point to another hosting account that I will call my back up host. Is that a proper use of the two nameservers or is that not a good idea for some reason?
Actually I make backup in 1 ftp account, also I have another ftp account what I don't use it. Do you know how to copy files directly from 1 ftp account to another one?
1 ftp account it's with bqbackup.com 1 ftp account it's with another backup provider
any of them have ssh access, so I'm looking to something like copy-at-the-fly ftp? without downloading all first to another server?
i have a cpanel server. due to some problems , one of my customers asks me to terminate his account and create it again WITH NEW DOMAIN NAME and restore old backup in this new account. how can i restore old backup in this new account that they have different domain names and usernames!
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
The one thing that currently annoys me is that when an account is terminated from one of our servers, the account is still left on the backup drive.
Is there any way to automatically remove the accounts files from the backup drive when terminating an account? Or do I have to continue to do it manually?
I am moving hosts and my old host is unable to backup my current site and give me a single tar or zip file of my websites (They do not use cpannel)
The only access I have to them is var ftp and there custom control pannel, I have been backuing up.
My new cpanel host has given me SHH access and I was trying to run a ftpsync a perl based script to sync a site but it times out "421 No Transfer Timeout (900 seconds)"
At the moment I am backing up the site to my local pc but it has been running for the last 12 hours, All the sites only total about 350mb but they are made up of lots of small files and I think that this is the reason why it is taking so long.
I wanted to know if any one had any other ideas as I am a little bit worried that I might lose some data that is why I would like to some how backup my old host direct to my new host.
Using online backup service, it is possible if we are root or we have a vps or server to keep an exact replica of our site that we can fire off in the event of downtime happened.
Is there a solution where we can keep an exact backup (a mirror) using a reseller account even without root?
(without downloading the files of all the sub account to our own pc of course)
I have a dedicated server with SSH ability and I need to backup some of the accounts of the server via rsync to a normal shared account where I only have ftp access..?
I am trying to determine the best design approach for this business need.
There are multiple URLs:
[url] [url] [url]
The URLs are going to be specific to a topic but the displaying of the pages is template based. For example, there is 1 JSP page that will display the content for a topic based on an ID.
[url]is ID 1 in my database table. [url]is ID 2 in my database table. [url]is ID 3 in my database table.
So I could do a form post to display the specific content for a topic.
Code: <form name="frmTopic" action=”/topic” method="Post"> <input type="hidden" name="topicID" id="topicID" value=""> </form> So by populating the topicID and posting this form, it directs to my JSP page and displays the content specific to the topic ID. So if I pass 1, content about cats is displayed. If I pass 2, dogs and 3, birds.
I want to keep the URLs specific to the topic but I do not want to pay for hosting for each site since the only difference from one site to another is 1 page. The 1 page is the page that tells the JSP page which topic to display (I realize I have to hard code the ID number after I add the topic to the database).
Here is my question.
Is there a way I can have a specific index.htm page for each site [url]with one hosting account (I am using GoDaddy)? Then I could have this page redirect to the template JSP passing the ID. I could then put very specific items about the topic on this page to hopefully improve its page rank in search engines.
If this is not possible, I could create an initial JSP page that checks the ServerVariable for the specific URL and then passes the ID… something like this:
Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
I am looking for feedback on the best approach so if there is an option that I have not listed that is better, please let me know.
i am about to take on a big account where i will be hosting-developing-designing and doing analysis. im not sure if i should get my own server or transfer this new account to my hosting company (host monster).
im afraid if my server goes down i will not have the experience to rectify it in a rapid speed. is it ok to keep a big account that relies on web traffic and business with a host like host monster and what are the pro"s and con's. i have only done web design and development thus far and the hosting and maintenance is pretty new to me.
How do I stop my add-on domain from appearing in the search engine as a sub-domain? For example, it shows up as example.com/test.com. I only want test.com.
