Changing Nameservers
Jan 29, 2009
I currently work for a small company that has a website hosted by a local hosting company. We have not been happy with them and are planning on switching hosts. Now I know that you are suppose to update your name servers for your domain name to point to your web host's name servers. Problem is I don't know how to get access to do this (all of this stuff was setup many years ago way before I got here).
Using whois I see our domain registrar is DomainBank.com but I have no account information to log in and change our name servers. How do I go about doing this? Is it possible our existing host did all of this originally and they have an account with DomainBank instead?

I have a domain name with simplehost and have created a website using bigblackbag for my artwork. I added a redirect through simplehost's cPanel so that when you go to my domain name it directs you to the bigblackbag site. Someone at Bigblackbag has created a stats page for me and I have all of the information to log on and see my stats.
Here is the problem....Simplehost has refused to change the nameservers for me to bigblackbag's info so that they can start tracking my stats for me. Bigblackbag has given me the nameservers information and told me to tell simplehost to change them. Simplehost says that if they change the info for me then I will essentially be going around them and ultimately refused to do it for me. When I go to my cPanel to try to do it myself, I can't figure out what to click on to do it..I can't figure it out.
I don't care WHO hosts the darn stuff...I just want to be able to use the control panel and page I have created through bigblackbag and use my original domain name I have which is my name.com....I don't want to have to come up with some secondary domain name when I only want the one I've paid for through 09' or so. Please let me know your opinion about what to do.
I contacted bigblackbag and asked that they take all of it over (domain hosting)etc., and they said only if I secured a new one on my own or get one through them. I didn't want to do that...I just want what I have to work correctly.
Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing or of an efficient way to do it.
Tips are hugely appreciated and a step by step to do list (in layman's terms) would be even better!

Will the nameservers work if the nameservers are pointed to a parking page?
For example:
I need to change my nameservers to ns1.mywebhost.com and ns2.mywebhost.com
(nameservers are made up)
These nameservers are from my web hosting service provider. When I visit the nameservers, it shows up a parking page from a domain parking service (let's say NameDrive parking page)
Will the nameservers function correctly and will my websites work? I have this question because usually the nameservers that I use, they always point to a CP page or something like that rather than a parking page.

Everytime I deleted an Ip set up by WHM, this one nameserver always comes back and deletes one that I already set up.
69.50.221.151 NS19.NSHOSTER.NET
No matter what I change it to, that NS19.NSHOSTER.net keeps overwriting an NS that i set. What's wrong? When i try to delete with WHM

Removing Nameserver Ip 69.50.221.151
Sorry, the nameserver ip 69.50.221.151 cannot be removing since it is still registered with an ICANN register.
I can only go through ssh.

My Linux box has a set IP address that never changes. However, I am switching my server from one collocation to another so in the process my IP address will be different.
The last time I switched my box, I had my ISP admin change the IP address within my linux box, but now that might not be an option.
So in linux, CentOS 4.1, how do I change the IP address on the box?
As much as I can remember, I had to change it in:
/etc/netstart
But I also remember there is another file that needs to be edited within the server to change the IP.

I have been with this hosting company for almost five years now and until today the service has been excellent. I am having massive ftp issues. I have 41 different domains that I run for a variety of projects. Needless to say I keep each website in a different folder. I just tried to switch one of my blogs from blogger to wordpress. Blogger won't let me have my domain back and keeps blocking it with a 404 error. But that is a separate issue. I tried using one of my extra domains and pointing it at my new blog folder. But it keeps bouncing back to my root directory. I contacted 1and1 and they reset the server, but now they are blaming me for the issue. I can access the blog through it's subdirectory but I can't post the blog there.
Anyways, I am not ready to move over all of my websites, but I do want to move my blog to a new host. I am mainly hoping that I can escape 1and1 and blogger in one move if I change the host of this one website. It's funny I have been happy for years and recommended them to friends, but now I am very disappointed. Can someone recomend a reliable host? I am looking for one with a cheap lowend package to start off. If I end up staying I will need a lot of bandwidth as I have a podcast that had a lot of traffic. Basically, there are so many companies that I just can't tell which ones are reliable. That's my main concern. Also I use SQL a lot. Thanks!

I'm setting up my dns records for a backup mailserver and setting up another ns record in case of server / datacentre problems.
My question is, do I need to specify the ip address of the external hostname and the external namserver in the local dns record?
e.g mail.mydomaim.com in A **.***.**.**
then add mail.outside-domain.com in A **.***.**.**.
I dont think its necessary but want to double check.

I'm changing my webhost after getting screwed around with countless downtimes and now their own site is completely down.
I'm looking for a new host, and had been looking at alot of review sites. After looking at a few of them, found that they were obviously fakes with almost 100% good reviews for some hosts, completely dissing some other hosts, and the complete opposite on some other sites.
Looking for recommendations for your own host, do state your site too so I can try out the response.
Criteria
excellent uptime
responsive support + live support chat
h-sphere preferred, but not a must have (I like having subdomains in directories at the same level as domains)
does not ridiculously overload their servers (well, who can tell?)
good site response time
budget at 10usd per month
allows many domains/sites, no need for super high bandwidth as I just host many small sites
PHP with .htaccess access + imagemagick/gd

I have IIS on my computer and I want to start using a php driven forum (SMF) on my web site. Before I upload the files I need to check the following settings are on:
the engine directive must be On.
the magic_quotes_sybase directive must be set to Off.
the session.save_path directive must be set to a valid directory, or empty.
the file_uploads directive must be On.
the upload_tmp_dir must be set to a valid directory, or empty.
I cant find anywhere within IIS where these directions maybe found. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have a domain registered with Dotster and my NameServers point to Verio who is my webhost. My MX Records at Verio point to Appriver who handles my email. I'd like to get Verio totally out of the picture and just host my site at Dotster and still keep the email at Appriver. However, I'm not quite sure the order in which to change the various settings.
Do I just change the Name Servers at Doster to point to Dotster instead of Verio and then use Dotster's DNS to point the MX Records to Appriver? Would I then disable the MX Records at Verio? What about propagation of these changes...would I lose email traffic?
Do I need to change the TTL? I'm really not sure about the order of the steps.

ive been a member of these forums for a few months now, mainly scouring for CSS tips and solutions. However, i've recently purchased Kevin Yanks book; Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using MYSQL and PHP, to work through. Annoyingly i'm having a problem with the initial MySQL setup which i cant seem to find a solution to on these forums or even Google. The book instructs the user to edit the my.ini file by adding the 'old-passwords' command, but no matter what i try i cannot save any additional content to this file. i just get the error... "Cannot create C:/programfiles/mysql/mysql server 5.0/my.ini". I fear im overlooking something very simple here. Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing that comes to mind is that im running Vista, which the book predates.

to change system date back and forth.
Of course 'date -s' doesn't work on VPS. Using zic and timezones > /etc/localtime could help up to (almost) 24 hours, but dates are out of range.
Some systems can enable something like defying "Time Drift" as on some Xen versions (as shown below), but unfortunately my provider apparently doesn't support it.
# set independent_wallclock
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock
Is there any other way to change date on a VPS?

I'm trying to change the ssh port on one of my servers, I have edited the sshd_config file and ssh_config. Changed the port, then enabled the port on APF. Restarted both APF and SSH.
Tried logging in via the port I specified, would not let me. Tried the default port, logged in fine. Why won’t it change to the port I specify?

i've set all folders,sub folder and files under this folder to be 777 since it is a folder for my users to upload attachments~
however this is the problem. users all failed to upload because the permission of the new folder created by apache for the users to store their attachment are set to 755, which i wanted them to be 777. (those 777 folders were from old server.)
if u take a look at the pic attached , you know what i meant. does anyone have any idea of how i can change the permission for this whole foder to be 777 even with folder created by apache?
i tried chmod -r 777 attachment, but it says operation not permitted @@

I just wanted to know if there's any way I could speed up the process of moving my clients domains from our old server to our new server.
All my clients are currently on server1 and I want to move them all to server2.
I know I can go in and change the name servers for each domain to the new server (NS) but just wanted to know if theres a quicker way such as changing the Ip Adresses in the SOA records to point to the IP address of the new server.
Then if they're already loading off the new servers ip address, I can then change the domains name servers afterwards.

I have reseller space with United Hosting and they provide a default online webmail app called SqurrelMail for my and my clients websites.
It's perfectly fine for my clients, but I do use my webmail everyday and the thing is I'm finding it increasingly hard to use it everyday as it's a little too basic for me... So I wondered, is it perfectly fine for me to install another third party one and use that as my main online email center?
If so, what options are there? Would really like a decent, solid (preferably free) online email client I could connect to my reseller space to use for organising my emails...

I have a few sites each with their own GeoTrust SSL certificates. In a few days I will be changing servers and IP addresses of my sites (along with operating system and control panel; moving to CPanel 11 on CentOS from Ensim on Redhat).
I would like to know what changes or steps (if any) I need to make/take in order for the SSL to keep working on the new site without interruption? Can SSL certs safely be transferred this way? Do I need to purchase new ones?
