Moving Domain Without Changing Tag
Feb 27, 2008
i've been given the glorious task of sorting out the company web site.
We have a dedicated server, and 2 domains.
One of the domains is the default domain for the dedicated server, and the other is on another tag with another company.
That company has then setup a 301 redirect to an url on the dedicated server.
Nasty!
What I am hoping to do, is add another web site in IIS for the second domain and then get the other company to change the DNS.
I would happily transfer the domain to the dedicated server's tag, but that takes time and it may also cause email downtime.

I have a dedicated server with around 8 clients on it running CentOS and WHM/Cpanel.
Server is currently named server.oldname.com with 2 ns records ns1.oldname.com and ns2.oldname.com which are assigned the first two IP's of my block of 8 available to me through the datacenter.
I have purchased a new domain name and have changed the name of my company. I am wondering the easiest way to go about changing server.oldname.com to server.newname.com and to create new glue records to replace ns1.oldname.com and ns2.oldname.com with the ns1.newname.com and ns2.newname.com
Are there any guides or detailed steps in this? Since my business so far has been local, I have the username and passwords to manage many peoples registrar records. I don't mind having to update theirs to the new ns's manually.
Is it possible to have ns1.oldname.com ns2.oldname.com and ns1.newname.com and ns2.newname.com at the same time? So, I could essentially change people over gradually. Would their be any things to worry about in all of this?

i have moved my site (pages and data) from my VPS to dedicated.
NOW I want to move the domain from VPS to Dedi.
Both are running on directadmin. I want to quickly move domain so that new user registrations are on the new domain only. Last time when I did this, at some locations domain still resolved at old and I lost some data on old server.
what should i do? I think i need to:
1. update NS at the domain registerar.
2. update the ip address in the DNS administration of old server directadmin so that the ip address is of new server there.

I'm trying to move sites from one cPanel server to another. Presently, I am using the clustered DNS option in WHM to keep the two servers DNS in sync, which has allowed me to avoid messing with switching name servers for domains as I moved them. Now, I'm looking to turn off the original server, but that server is the one hosting the name servers that most of the domains use (ns1 and ns2.serverforest.com).
I'd like to move those name servers over to the new server, which I presume is as simple as re-registering them in the control panel over at my registrar. However, I presume I also need to bind IPs on the new server to the original DNS names. However, if I do that and the DNS cluster syncing occurs, won't that mess things up while I await the registrar making the changes? Do I need to turn off clustering before making the switch?
Is there a way to do this seamlessly?
Also, for testing purposes I created ns3 and ns4.serverforest.com on the new server. If I now want to move over ns1 and ns2, can I set them on the same two IPs that ns3 and ns4 "own" without any trouble?

I've purchased a forum, using a sub-domain name like bbs.mywebsite.com.
All the files will be moved to my new dedicated server.
I'd like to use a new domain name for it, like newname. com
but still to not lose current memebers, still we want to keep bbs.mywebsite.com working as before.
I have 5 IP availble and want to allocate one of them to the new domain name newname .com
================================================== ====
Now, question, what should I do, can some one give me instruction step by step please, to make 2 domains both bbs.mywebsite.com and newname. com working properly. don't want to use redirect.
Now what I can think of is, add newname. com to my account, and change DNS to point to my nameserver, then copy the whole forum under new website. I dont know if this way is correct. Then I don't know how to link the original forum address to the new space.

We have a client who has a site currently hosted with some guys in germany. I cannot speak german, so am unable to chat to the support there, so thought I would ask here.
We are wanting to move their site to new hosts, as we are re-developing it for them, and their current setup does not suit our needs.
The only issue I am not too sure about is the following:
They rely heavily on their email (what company doesnt nowadays?), and they currently have IMAP acounts. They use thunderbird on a Mac for all their emails, so all their mail would presumably be on their machines.
No, if I moved their email accounts, would all the emails be deleted from their Thunderbird on their Macs? I know they wouldnt for POP, but I have only ever dealt with POP, nt IMAp.
If they will get deleted, what is the best way for me to handle this?

I have a domain name as per my sig. I am also creating a subdomain totally in contrast with that site below. My primary domain has one page on it so i would like to:
a) delete the one page on my primary domain
b) Make the contents of my subdomain my primary domain. e.g my domain is www.info-peep.com, my sub will be example.info-peep.com........i would like to make example.info-peep.com : www.info-peep.com......that make sense, as really the sub will be my main site.
Basically wanting to transfer the contents of my sub to my primary. So when people click info-peep.com, it will be the sub's site. Another thing to note is that i am using RVsitebuilder (WYSIWYG) that my web host provides. Also BEAR IN MIND the WYSIWYG editor does not allow me to move pages (sucks) or to copy the page contents.

I am moving my domain to my home server. I went to remove it from WHM and saw this option: Keep Dns Zone (needed if you have moved a domain between servers in the same dns trust relationship, and wish to remove the old domain).
I am running my own BIND server on my home pc.

I have my main domain (domain.com) and it is where all my sites and customer sites are pointed to (ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com).
I just purchased a VPS and have made (domain.com) my main domain as I want it to be because of keeping the nameservers the same for my clients.
My vision is this, I will transfer all the sites from my old cPanel account to my new DirectAdmin account. I have setup a time to let my clients know not to update any content on their sites. At that time I will then download the sites from the cPanel account to the DA account. I will then move my main domain (domain.com) over as well and then change the name server registries at namecheap.
I understand some things can get lost in this switch, but ALL clients are aware of this and understand. They will still have access to the old server via the IP address to check for misdirected mail.
Is this the simplest way to get this done?
Is there a better way, with using the main domain?

I have example.com as a reseller account hosted on a shared server. I have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com on that server and client domains use these nameservers.
I want to move to a VPS for more control and so I have acquired vps.example.com. This also has vps_ns1.example.com and vps_ns2.example.com with it.
Can I move everything to the VPS? Assuming that I move the files over, if I simply changed the DNS of example.com to point to nameservers vps_ns1(and 2).example.com, what would happen?
Have I made it over complicated for me to understand, and it's actually a lot easier than I think? Or have I shot myself in the foot by using vps.example.com as the name for the VPS?
I am using cPanel/WHM for both servers.

I have what I think is kind of a unique situation with a site move and Google is not turning up an answer that seems to work.
My site is currently in this format:
www.mydomain.com/site/file.html
And I am "moving" it but also switching from html to php, so the same file would be found at:
site.mydomain.com/file.php
I want to redirect users going to the old pages to their equivalent on the new site, however this is a little bit of a problem because this is a normal subdomain - it is the same directory as before but now there are php versions of the html files.
Right now I have all of the http files redirecting to their php equivilents, but I don't believe this is a desirable solution. Also it creates a problem when people go to www.mydomain.com/site (not indicating a specific file; just the subdir root) because I have www.mydomain.com/site/index.html redirecting to www.mydomain.com/site/index.php.
Quite a mess.
My first option is to put the redirects in the htaccess file on the "old" site. But is this a problem because there are over 500 pages on the site? Does it create a heavy server load because any requests force the server to serve a huge htaccess file?
The next alternative seems the most preferable although I'm not sure how to do it. It seems it could use wildcards so that anyone going to *.html gets directed to *.php or something like that. The only problem is that there are a small number of files that were removed completely and do not have php equivilants (about 5 or 6) and would need to redirect to the index.php in the root

We have a few hosting plans setup with different "allowances" for each.The website permissions allow basic html and PHP.In Windows Advanced: The website settings allow for html, php, asp and asp.net
When we change a Basic Hosting plan to Windows Advanced using "Change Plan", it will reassign the subscription/domain to use the new plan, but it will not add-on the extra features in Hosting Settings.

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
Quote:
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 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 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?
