Should Domain Registrar And Host Be The Same
Sep 8, 2008The more I read and research the more confused I get. Issue: Business #1 hosted on local ISP, no pressing need to move it. Business #2 started out selling (not ecommerce) a couple items related to business #1 so I created pages for them on B1 site. B1 is no longer active, B2 now has a lot of items for sale and needs to get it’s own site, eventually ecommerce, but not right away (not a lot of time right now). I own the name for B2 parked at Network Solutions & it’s up for renewal (in a few days). I can move the domain register & get a website on one of the bigger hosting sites for about the same cost as I’m now paying for a private registration at NS. Is it stupid to pay for private since the contact info is plastered all over the website anyway? Most of these hosts offer a free domain registration. Then I read that it’s better to have your domain registered somewhere other than the site host in case there is a dispute.
I’m thinking—move registration to GoDaddy now. Keep researching hosts. If I (ever) decide on one that offers free registration I can get another name to park on the main domain that is reg’ed with GoD? Or would the free domain automatically be considered the main domain at host where I’d have 1 c panel & add-ons?
I need to make sure I can add ecommerce to the site in the future.
I created the original site in Front Page 97 which is of course no longer supported, I no longer even have a fully working version that I can find since I upgraded to XP, but I have a front page editor & Cute FTP to update the B1 site. So I’m in the market for another simple site builder, I don’t write code. I also have a dial-up connection only, so I don’t think an on-line builder is a good option.
Oh, and I’m on a tight budget but not looking for a free hosting “service”. $10/ month maybe?
I didn’t even know anything about CPanels and add ons and sub domains until a couple days ago. Info overload,
What Is Your Best Reseller Host And Domain Registrar
Jun 16, 2008I'm interested in maybe moving all my reseller hosting and domain registration from United Hosting and Low Cost Names respectively... So I'm interested in hearing what you are using and why... I'm a freelancer who resells space, I live in the UK and am wanting the best companies to work it for me and my clients...
A few reasons why I want to change right now is that United Hosting just doesn't offer enough space for me, and I'm finding it more and more expensive for the value I'm getting. Though they are good as they allow me to edit php.ini files, have ImageMagick, and offer webmail to my clients etc. I do like Low Cost Names, but again I'm finding the lack of CNAME records a little disappointing.
So... what are your best reseller host and domain registrator to you and why?
Registrar's Domain Name Server Service For My VPS?
Dec 8, 2006I'm wondering is it possible to use RegisterFly's DNS server for my VPS. I only have 1 website on the VPS, but I want to increase the reliability of my site overall and thought if it were possible to give the DNS operations to my Registrar, who probabily really does have seperate DNS servers, this would be a good move. Since it would allow me to disable BIND (freeing up resources/memory), and put the DNS operations to quite possibly a more reliable set of servers (since my 2 DNS servers are actually just my 1 VPS)
What are the Pros/Cons of this type of arrangement?
So I need to know, can it technically be done, and what zones entries I need to create.
REGISTRAR Vs. HOST
May 26, 2008When I host my domain ►am I forced to use the Host as my Registrar . . . or can I keep (Godaddy, Network Solutions, etc.) as my Registrar?
One other question . . .
Suppose I am using the Free Email address provided by (in this case Godaddy) with my domain. ►Will I still be able to use the Godaddy-managed email address?or will that vanish and have to be reestablished with the new host?
Host- Registrar- Config
Feb 8, 2007Here's my situation. I'm a designer/programmer. I have a reseller account with a hosting business that has plenty of good reviews here. I've been VERY happy with them for about a year.
I don't offer hosting, but i do sell hosting to clients who pay me for site design or programming. I host about 10 clients right now.
About a month ago, some of the client sites started going down, while other sites on my account had no issues. It seems random, with very little consistency.
I payed more attention and realized that some of the sites were going down for hours at a time, at random times. Not all of the sites on my reseller were affected, but there were at least 5.
My first support tickets relating to the random down times were shrugged off by the host, but after some nagging they told me that my dns zones were misconfigured (something about stealth nameservers). It was odd that every site worked fine for the last year and just NOW started having problems - but they're the experts.
My nameserver issues:
some sites were pointing to ns1/ns2.mydomain.com
some were pointing to noc1/noc2.mydomain.com
others were pointing to dns1/dns2.adifferentdomain.com
I had these nameservers set up in godaddy (my registrar). They've been like that for a year with no issues.
Thinking i'd fix them, i changed all the domains to point to ns1/ns2.mydomain.com.
I also used WHM and edited the dns zones for those accounts and made sure they all had the same nameservers.
Its been a couple weeks since i've fixed everything, and sites are STILL having issues.
My host insists that its a godaddy issue, but I can't understand how some sites work and some don't (when they have the same nameservers and IP)

How To Transfer A Domain After Registrar Disappears
Dec 27, 2008I've had a page hosted on pagesgarden.com for about 4 years now, they were fairly cheap and the service was decent. Now they seem to have vanished entirely and I'm looking to transfer my domain to another host, but I used pagesgarden as the registrar also so I'm not entirely sure of what I should do to reclaim my domain name.
What is the process for transferring a domain name after the registrar vanishes?
What Do I Insert Under DNS In My Registrar's Domain Options
Mar 8, 2007I was able to finally set up a dedicated server, and now I'm finallly off to the easier stuff.
Two quick questions:
1) How do I make it so my domain name takes me to my server's address? You know, just like how shared hosts give you the nice little DNS addresses that make everything magically work.
I could just forward the domain to my server's IP, though that would not display the domain name in every page, the way it's supposed to be.
2) When I visit my server's IP, it gives me the apache welcome screen saying everything was successfully installed. That page is locaed under /var/www/apache2-default. I find that "var" directory a bit strange, is it supposed to be there? And more importantly, when I add the real stuff I want on my site, should it all go under the "apache2-default" directory? It seems to be set as the default home page dir, right?
Domain Name Server/Nameserver/host Name Issue
Aug 14, 2007Well, the ns1.NAME.com and ns2.NAME.com is done. It works and links to the right place.
My host name is "dog.NAME.com" and links to the main server IP (example 1.1.1.1). So when i try to do this:
1.1.1.1/~NAME, it redirects me to dog.NAME.com which is good but then dog.NAME.com can't be found.
Server not found is the exact error i get. The IP works. i don't know what i am doing wrong.
My host said they will charge me to fix it, so i am relaying on you guys to save me money.

Mail Server Host Name In Greeting
Jul 11, 2007I always have customers complaining not receiving emails from my online store.
While checking with dnsreport, I found the following:
Quote:
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.
mail.shashinki.com claims to be non-existent host mail.shashinki.com:
220-mail.shashinki.com ESMTP Exim 4.66 #1 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:51:20 +0800 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, 220 and/or bulk e-mail.
I have my own dedicated server.
How can I correct the above so that ISP will not treat mails sending from my servers as spam and deleted them without sending to my customers?
Host Will Only Update Domain Name Server (DNS) In Batches, Takes Several Hours For A DNS Change, Normal?
Feb 10, 2009Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal?
Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know.
I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours.
I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly?
He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting.
Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone?
And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?
