I hope I posted on the right section..
I have setup ISPconfig on a VPS (that was given to me for free)..
I have one dedicated IP, and I used a .co.cc domain to access my server..
now, my question is, how do I setup name server? what name server should I use to point the domains that I will host on my server?
I mean like no ID checks and they provide instant setup if I am paying by paypal. I know credit card they find it risky but I am paying with paypal they should not ask for any ID verification and Hostgator claims they provide instant setup but its very rare they flag your order even if you pay by paypal.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently moved hosts and also decided to use what I hope is a more reliable DNS / nameserver setup. So I signed up at everydns.net. I surfed and read for hours and got more confused the more I read.
I finally set up my accounts with the corresponding records as follows:
*.mysite.com CNAME mysite.com
mysite.com A 123.123.123.123
mysite.com MX (10) 1mail.mysite.com
www.mysite.com A 123.123.123.123
My questions are:
1 - Is this pretty much right?
2 - should I have a second MX recored like:
mysite.com MX (10) 2mail.mysite.com
I'm using 4 nameservers >> ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net, ns3.everydns.net, ns4.everydns.net,
I just purchased my first dedicated server. It comes with WHM 11.2.0 / CentOS Enterprise 5 i686.
Could someone please refer me to a guide to setup the nameservers? I've tried to follow some guides i found on google but still I can't get websites to resolve.
How do I know my nameservers are working? When I ping them they display the proper IP's and when I enter them in a browser it goes to the cpanel default site that it should but when I park domains to them, they don't work.
Could someone please maybe give me a guide for WHM 11.2.0? Also, some of the guides said to modify /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nameserverips. I did modfiy /etc/resolv.conf to my information.
If it would make it easier, pretend i'm trying to add ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com as nameservers with the hostname server.domain.com and domain name domain.com. I want ns1.domain.com on ip 74.47.74.47 and ns2.domain.com on ip 74.47.74.48. What would /etc/resolv.conf look like after and what would /etc/nameserverips look like after? And what are the steps to take in WHM to set it up?
I've just installed whm on my new server at leaseweb and wanted to know what nameservers I should put down in whm?
Is it ns1.localdomain.com or ns1.leaseweb.nl?
I suppose I can't set nameservers for my own domain since I've only got one Ip and I would need 2?
Sorry if this sounds confusing its my first time. So i have an account at ev1servers.net/theplanet.com when i signed up i was asked for a domain i could use for the servers main domain which we'll call maindomain.com, my question is when you setup private nameservers do they have to be setup for the main domain e.g. ns1.maindomain.com, ns2.maindomain.com? What i did was setup the name servers for a domain account on my server and i couldn't get it to work which leads me to believe it has to be the main domain.

Custom DNS Server Addresses
=============================
The custom DNS addresses you should set for your domain to use are:
Primary DNS: ns1
Secondary DNS: ns2
You will have to login to your registrar and find the area where you can specify both of your custom name server addresses.
After adding these custom nameservers to your domain registrar control panel, it will take 24 to 48 hours for your domain to delegate authority to your DNS server. Once this has taken effect, your DNS server has control over the DNS records for the domains which use your custom name server addresses.
they didn't give me any nameserver DNS....
How can i get my domain hosted onto my VPS asap? Step by step instructions really needed. thank you.
Also, i have 2 free IPS.
I am wondering how to set up a nameserver on my new VPS with 1and1.
I have all my domains hosted on netfirms.
This is what I have done, but doesnt seem to be working:
i have a domain ex: mycompany.com on netfirms and i created an A Record that is ns1.mydomain.com that points to the ip of the VPS ex: 55.55.55.55
I have also created an ns2.mydomain.com. I did this through the netfirms control panel
Is there anything else i need to do?
I would like to setup a caching Bind nameserver for which I need to modify the file /etc/named.conf. The file is automatically created by Plesk however and I am unable to find information on how to modify the file in Plesk.
Code:
#ATTENTION!

#DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY,
#SO ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST THE NEXT TIME THE FILE IS GENERATED.
// $Id: named.conf,v 1.1.1.1 2001/10/15 07:44:36 kap Exp $
Any way to modify named.conf?
1) I use DNSMadeEasy for a couple of my important domains so I can utilize their failover service.
2) I use my own nameservers for everyone else.
At my register (GoDaddy) I've added host entries to my domain (let's call it host.com) for ALL of my nameservers: DNSMadeEasy and mine. For example here are my host entries:
1) nsdme0.host.com = 55.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
2) nsdme1.host.com = 56.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
3) nsdme2.host.com = 57.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
4) nsdme3.host.com = 58.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
5) nsdme4.host.com = 59.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
6) ns1.host.com = 60.55.55.55 (mine)
7) ns2.host.com = 61.55.55.55 (mine)
At the register I've then configured host.com to use the first five nameservers for itself, the DNSMadeEasy nameservers.
For less critical sites that I host I simply point them to ns1.host.com and ns2.host.com, my nameservers.
Now, here's the twist. If I use dig to look up www.host.com I get:
[root@lax1 ~]# dig +trace www.host.com
; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> +trace www.host.com

What I've realized is that the actual IP addresses for nameserver host entries come from a higher level server than my own, in this case H.GTLD-SERVERS.net. I guess this makes sense but I just hadn't realized it before. It looks like I don't even need to have record entries in my DNS records for the host nameservers.
Now for the question. Can I:
1) Remove my custom host nameserver entries from my register.
2) Add entries in my DNSMadeEasy records to specify the location of ns1.host.com and ns2.host.com.
3) Use the failover provided by DNSMadeEasy to also fail-over my DNS entries for my nameservers?
I know this would require one more hop if it works but it would allow me to provide failover ability to fifty domains without having to purchase the extra domains at DNSMadeEasy.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'd like to ask for some help in choosing a webhost. I want to host a website that will be a sales database. It will use a MySQL database and PHP. I will not need large amounts of disc space (I can't estimate exactly but probably less than 10GB) and relatively low amounts of bandwidth. What's important is a high uptime and security and quality bandwidth. I am very sceptical with all the webhosts offering unlimited services since I know they are overselling. Do you know of any quality webhosts suitable with the above characteristics?

Many of us create websites hoping that they get a lot of hits.
How can you ensure that if your web site gets a lot of hits, that it doesn't get knocked over, that it can scale and take many hits? I am not talking about a DoS attack. I am talking about a website that gets very popular and gets a lot of hits.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm getting ready to upgrade my site to Joomla and am learning all these things about security issues. For example, the register globals on my webserver is turned on and I can't turn it off unless I go to a dedicated server and pay 3X per month of what I'm paying now. And there's other things too about this particular webhost.
Just wondering if anyone can give any input from experience on who is a good webhost for a Joomla site with regards to security, etc.
When I was trying to figure out who to register with I looked at the following things. I believe all of these are very important to making your website as successful as possible. Support and uptime are the most important to me without these your site will be down alot and take longer to bring back when a problem occurs. The amount of space and plan though is really on a case to case basis.
* Price
* Performance
* Reliability
* Customer Support
* Control Panel
* User Feedback
* Website Design
Now I ask you.

What do you look for in a good webhost?
Does anyone know of a good web host that allows adult content? No porn or anything hardcore, basically it's just half-nude/topless/erotic posing pictures.
I will definitely need a web host that allows a lot of bandwidth, I'm actually doing this for someone who just got in the cover of Penthouse. So.. I'm sure there will be a lot of traffic.
I plan to host a small multimedia site.
I am looking for a new webhost. I want a webhost that:
1. Costs less than $10 a month
2. Allows file hosting. (Video streaming/downloading)
3. Ideally allows for storage of files that are not related to the website.
4. Ideally allows for anonymous FTP access.
Only 1 and 2 are critical. The site will have many MP3s, Videos, PDF and text documents available for streaming or downloading. All the material will either be my own or the copywrited material of my organization. I have their express written permission to host and distribute these media files under a creative commons license. It will be 5GB or less of files, and they will be downloaded rarely and not very many people simultaneously downloading at once.
Most webhosts I have looked at (Monsterhost, 1and1, Bluehost, mmhosting.com, etc) All offer unlimited/tons of space and have some provision in their terms of service agreement like this: "Webhost company does not allow file sharing / unlimited media sharing." or "HostMonster.Com offers its Services to host web sites, not to store data. Using an account as an online storage space for archiving electronic files is prohibited and will result in termination of hosting services without prior notice."
So where can I find a host that allows file hosting, video hosting, etc? I don't need a lot of bandwidth/storage space, but I do want to host my media.

I'm just wanting some feedback in response to what I feel is gross neglegence of a Webhost I used. I have a website thru this company, WebsitePros. They seemed great for someone like myself, a retail business owner/operator w/ no eployees. I pay 1 company to host, market, and provide software for me to build & manage my site & store. My site had an ecommerce store which was mistakenly deleted by someone at their company. They lost all my pics, product descriptions, customer info, etc, from 2 years of business. They have no backups at all for the store (i had to login to my account to manage store using thier software-- no ability to backup the info on my computer). I was told by their supervisor that traditional webhosts like WebsitePros don't backup store files, just the site itself, and that they would only be willing to help rebuild but offer no monetary compensation (oh yeah, and 3months at 1/2 price...sweet). This isn't a case of failure to pay a bill or anything along those lines---they admit total liability.
My questions are:
1) Is it not the webhost's responsibility to backup these "store" files?
2) Do I seem unreasonable in asking for damages since they lost all this info, including 100's of customer profiles & outstanding orders?
3) Heard of precedents here? Right compensation?

- Up to 30 MySQL databases
- Subdomains (accessing different folders)
- 10 FTP-users who can access folders across the usernames
- PHP
- ImageMagick
- PHP memory limit not lower than 32 MB (to support TYPO3)
- SFTP support
- SSH/Shell if possible
I'm currently with DreamHost and Servage.net. DreamHost is actually OK (even though they seem to be overselling) - but I would like to move my sites closer to home (Denmark). Servage.NET I can't recommend, as their MySQL perfomance (or whatever) is horrible on the first request to my websites.
So basically what I wan't is specs more or less like DreamHost - but without the very high amount of disk-space and transfer.
I've been looking at some UK-based hosts - but most of the fails on either the domains or MySQL databases. However - I have'nt been able to figure out how many domains you can host on floppynet.co.uk?
