i have stopped hosting selling and am only hosting 2 sites for clients that I have designed sites for.
if i got a vps with lxadmin, would these clients be able to have their own individual free control panels and also would I be able to transfer their entire site, inc. mailboxes and MySQL Databases?
i have a dedicated server. Centos 5.3 /Cpanel
2 reseller accounts on it: acc1 and acc2.
acc1 has ns1.domain.tld and ns2.domain.tl nameservers set up
acc2 has ns3.domain.tld and ns4.domain.tl nameservers set up
now i want to move an account (customer.tld) from acc2 to acc1 without downtime.
how can i do this provided i can not have customer.tld both on acc1 and acc2 on the same server?
here's what i did:
1. changed customer.tld nameservers to have ns1.domain.tld, ns2.domain.tld, ns3.domain.tld, ns4.domain.tld then waited for 48 hours for the changes to propagate
2. changed the customer.tld owner in WHM from acc2 to acc1
3. changed the cpanel package from acc2_package ti acc1_package
4. changed the IP in WHM for the account from ns3 IP to ns1 IP
5. changed the DNS entries in WHM ns3 changed to ns1 on all instances found there
but i still have a downtime period now. everything looks fine in httpd.conf thou
I've finally decided to move from relying on cPanel so much to managing php/mysql/apache on my own, but I have a problem... I host a few people on my server ... Not a lot, but enough to justify some type of cPanel-ish system for their domains. Is there anything free that allows them to manage their emails, FTP accounts, database, etc. while allowing me to manage the server's software? Something that lets me manage the vhosts easily would be great too, but not required.
Since I'm moving off of cPanel, and from CentOS->Debian as a result, I'm going to just buy a new server - however I'm not sure if I want to stick with SoftLayer. They're an amazing company, have great support, great hardware, I've never experienced ANY downtime with them... But I'm paying a bit of a premium - are there any alternatives with the same quality level but a bit cheaper? Even $5-10 cheaper would be fine. I'm looking to switch to a server that's a dualcore, 2gb ram, and at least 1.5tB of bandwidth - I'd rather not pay more than $155/month for that but I'm willing to go up to $200/month (Assuming the hardware and bandwidth scale).
It'd be GREAT if I could get the hardware I listed with a 10mbit unmetered for under $240/month... But, how realistic is that? Softlayer's 10mbit unmetered is $100/month.
I'd also love to be able to build my own server and colo it somewhere, but... So far all the prices I've found don't pay off until you're paying $6-700/month, so that's not looking too good - especially if I have to spend another $4-500 on the server itself.
When you move accounts from one WHM/CPANEL on one VPS to anoter CPANEL with another VPS, will it transfer the whole thing including MySQL as well?

How can I import all of those pictures into, say Coppermine or 4images or the like, without having to do each one manually?
I am moving my accounts soon from my VPS which I have root access to and was wondering if anyone could tell me what I need to do, to the DNS.
As last time I did this I had to edit the DNS Zone, by editting one of the following: refresh , retry , expire , minimum ttl but can not remember which one or to what.
Then I changed the IP address to the new server.
I have several sites under a cPanel/WHM reseller account. I want to move the biggest site under this account to another host. This site is the main site for the reseller account. The user name associated with it is my account name with the host, and all the other sites on that account are shown in WHM to be owned by it.
After I have the site running on the new host, I want to delete it from the old one. How can I do this whilst still retaining access to WHM which is only accessible through the cPanel of this site?
how do you move a site from a reseller account to a VPS if I do not know the site password. I believe the user changed the Cpanel password.

P.S. please consider me as an uneducated person .. my background is designing not programming or network administration.
I've been on shared hosting for nigh on 3 years now. My site suddenly started growing rapidly recently and my shared host now has requested that I move onto a VPS or Dedicated as soon as possible (I would stay with them, but they don't have VPS options sadly)
My site is an image host, a dynamic image host too.
About 80% of my visits are from the US so I have decided, even though I am UK, that I need a US VPS.
I need it to be cheap, like $30 (To start with, while I gain funds) and generally reliable.
Would anyone know where such VPSs are? I would like 300MB or more RAM and about 5-10GB of disk space. My main issue right now is quality of customer service, I don't want to end up with a company that either has poor customer service or puts extreme restrictions on activity.
I have two reseller accounts at the moment, where all my domains are spread out at the moment. And I have just purchased a VPS from SolarVPS, and I'm awaiting the account details. Is there a way that I can transfer the sites across easily, such as creating a full backup and then restoring on the new VPS, or would I have do it individually for each website?
View 12 Replies View RelatedIt's now coming to the point where I really want to consolidate all of our kit (mainly in the UK) and move to our own AS number, now I already know what routing equipment we're going to use and that is appropriate for the amount of traffic we need to carry, but what I'm stuck with now is which transit providers to use. I don't mind spending a reasonable amount on transit, but not stupid amounts. It also doesn't matter where I can pick these up as the plan we have includes our own links between buildings.
First of all let me say this is going to be a very slow process, so please do not PM me with your offers for transit, I'm not interested.
The plans are to peer at a couple of exchanges, most likely LINX and Xchangepoint, and to pick up around 3/4 transit providers. Because most UK traffic goes via peers, what I'm really looking for are the bigger providers to improve transatlantic routes rather than smaller providers which just make the hop count longer, my shortlist is currently:
Level3
Telia
T-Systems
PCCW
C&W
Interoute
GBLX
Viatel
recently moved from webhosting to VPS less than a month ago.
I got my VPS set up quite easily, however I have been experiencing a lot of downtime.
I have experienced around 60 hours of downtime in the last month itself, and i am quite pissed cause the provider claims 99.9% uptime guarantee.
I want to try out another provider but would not want to get burnt again…
Could you guys recommend any good VPS providers to me?
I would need 512 Ram / 2 IP’s >10GB Disk space and about 250-300GB bandwidth.
But one unique requirement that I have is that I need to run a few irc clients( not ircD servers, eggdrop type bots ) for my services.
Other than that the VPS would be used for a heavy duty forum and high hit website. With several other low hit websites as well.
Services wise I mainly need apache/php and mysql (heavy usage)
Anyone have thoughts about moving from APF to CSF? We are running a cPanel server and have heard lots of good things about CSF.
Anyone have details for a non-technical person?
