When changing host, does this affect the webpage design? I am currently with Microsoft Office Live and thinking about changing to Hostgator. If I do, is it possible to retain the existing page templates / layout?
View 14 RepliesI've been having troubles with my website recently . I installed a forum software (MyBB), and the problem started happening shortly after. I've talked to a few site admins in the MyBB community but they all say that none of MyBB's scripts are capable of doing this.
Every single webpage i visit redirects me to a webpage which then has a redirect loop. I've removed all recent changes made to my website via FTP and restarted apache, but i'm still receiving the same error. I'm not quite sure what to do.
Link to my website: ript.onl
Screenshots: [URL] ....
Every single webpage does this. I dont have any .htaccess files around and i've checked a few config files for anything out of the ordinary, but haven't seen anything.
Im new to all this trying to get a feel/grasp.. I want to create a website and host it from my own server... first I have no idea how a server even runs... i know you can run one from your comp but i wanna do a whole seperate server dedicated to this. second which language is best to create a server in how is HTML? I dont know much about it so i need to know where i could get info on the language or any good books that could be recomended would be great..

I have been with Hostgator for over 2 years and they have been great.
However, I host all my clients on my own hostgator account and I absolutely cannot stand hostgator's backend interface (cpanel). Trying to manage my SQL databases, 200+ e-mail addresses, etc via cpanel is tedious.
I am also interested in getting a VPS or something similiar.
We are co-located at a datacenter and host web sites, and corporate email systems, as well as host dedicated servers for customers.
We currently have two /25 internet facing subnets from our provider. We have a Watchguard X5500e 8 port gigabit firewall that supports routing as well as VLANs. We also currently own QTY4 2848 HP Gigabit switches.
We currently have each switch connected in a loop with 2 gigabit ports trunked using static LCAP. The switches are connected as follows:
A > B
B > C
C > D
D > A
Rapid STP is turned on. One thing is - is this the ideal trunking scheme?
The more important question is this. We would like to separate ips from each other using VLANing.
IE: we might have a client with 5 different IPs in one or more subnets and we would like to group them together.
We ideally do not want to break up the subnets into smaller ones as it makes it hard to reconfigure and it wastes ip addresses, as we do not have that many.
I changed web hosting company yesterday. I uploaded all the files to the new server. I checked to see if it works by looking at ip/~username All looked good so I changed the DNS to new hosting company's
Today the website is not found. DNS information is correct and I can still see my site by going to [url]
I have not cancelled my old web hosting and all the files are still there. I have no idea what is happening and I cannot get hold of my new web hosting company.
I have access to the DNS Zone where the accounts are currently hosted and I would like to change these so it a quick change over from old host to new host.
Do I change the Minimum TTL which is currently 86400?
Do I change the TTL for each A record which are currently 14400?
Do I change the nameservers in the DNS record from what they are now to the new host nameservers?
if its possible to change the reverse lookup, or at least i think thats what it is called.
I have 2 accounts on my CentOS, WHM/cPanel VPS and they are hosted on their own seperate IPs however when you do a lookup on one domain it also lists the other domain as being hosted on the server and vice-versa.
How do i change this so they appear like they are on different servers? Each one has their own nameservers which are on seperate IPs also.
i switched my host and have done a database backup of my phpbb2 forum. the new host only has phpbb3 - the sql doesn't load because the database structure has changed. is there any tool online that can go through my sql to convert them for phpbb3 use?

However, After several weeks of having this new design and numerous amounts of time and editing & making our site look a little more respectable, We got this weird live chat conversation with a gentleman named BEN.
This was around 7am AEST & his first sentence to start off this conversation was:
Quote:
Hi Sean, my name is Ben, and I am giving you 24 hours to remove your web site template that you have stolen otherwise I will public display that you have ripped another members template for personal use without permission of the original owner
Wow that was a bit significant to me as we bought this template from DooptNet here at WHT and the thread is located above. We paid $100 AUD/USD for this and we never stole it as it was said in the starting sentence from Ben.
Ben went on to say that:
Quote:
This topics will be displayed in the largest on-line communities on the internet, these include Web Hosting Talk, Warez-BB, wjunction and so forth.
For real right?
Ben also went on further to say that many other people have fallen for this and this is all part of a Con. I am not sure if Ben is telling the truth, But I would like some word from Sean @ DooptNet and this Ben Person.
No E-mail Address was left but - Admin@webhostingtalk.com in the Live Chat.
I asked Ben where we have ripped this site from as I would like to see it, After this Ben left the chat but before hand demanded that I remove the Stolen Content within 24hrs.
Not sure what to do from here, I have contacted Sean here at WHT and are still awaiting a response.
I'm designing a network that should be able to support both dedicated servers and also offer colocation (full rack and half rack). Things will be relatively small at start but the design must be able to scale. The colo area will be secured from the dedicated server area.
Right now, this is what I'm thinking:
CORE/DISTRIBUTION combined:
- Two cisco 6509's running HSRP
- Each 6509 is connected to the same two upstream ISP's via BGP (so that means 4 links in total)
- Each 6509 is connected to the access switches (described below)
- The 6509's will have a single gigabit crossconnect between them so that they can talk to each other for HSRP, iBGP, etc.
ACCESS
- Each of our racks will have an L3 switch at the top of the rack for all the servers in the rack to plug into
- there will be ~30 servers per rack
- these switches will use 4 x 1 gbit ports for trunking to the core. They will be configured in two 802.3ad link aggregation groups (ie 2 x 1gbit links per LAG group). One LAG group will connect to the first 6509, the second LAG group will connect to the second 6509.
- The default gateway on these L3 switches will be configured with the HSRP virtual IP address of the 6509's.
-spanning tree will have to be enabled to avoid loops since the two 6509's are connected directly also
QUESTIONS:
1) Each dedicated server will get 5 usable IP addresses, so I'd have to subnet my IP address space accordingly (into a bunch of /29's). This also means that I'd have to setup 1 VLAN per subnet (wich means 1 VLAN per server!). Is this a scalable design? If I have 1000 servers I'd need 1000 VLAN's! Isn't there a limit to the number of VLANS that can be created/handled by my core switches? How do larger providers do it that have thousands of servers?
2) Is this design scalable/redundant? The only single point of failure that I see is my access switch (if it dies, it could take out a rack's worth of servers). I guess I would have to live with this and would have spares on hand.
3) I'm a little confused with the interaction of BGP and HSRP. What happens, for example, if one of the links to one of the ISP's goes down on the active HSRP router? I dont want it to fail over to the inactive HSRP router, because the router is still good, its just a link that went down. Would the active HSRP router be smart enough to realize (maybe via iBGP) that the inactive HSRP router can still route to that ISP and thus just ROUTE the traffic to that inactive 6509 and then have that router send it out to the ISP? I'm assuming this traffic would travel across the 1gbit xconnect between the two 6509's so I may have to consider increasing that capacity using link aggregation aswell?
4) Which cisco switch would be good as my L3 access switch? It would have to support ~30 servers in the rack plus have at least 4x1gbit ports that I can config into two lag groups to uplink to the core.
I am comming across a few questions on how to do a setup for a network. I expect to have a redundant configuration similar to this:
________ISP1_______________ISP2
__________|(bgp)_____________|(bgp)
_______Router ---------BGP-------- Router
__________|_____\____ ___/_____|
__(bgp/ospf)|_________/_________|(bgp/ospf)
__________|___/___________ ___|
______L3 switch______________L3 switch
To this point (i hope the ascii diagram is understandable, i did my best on ASCII art), there are no problems. The problem comes when pluging in L2 switches. I would like them to be pluged to both L3 switches, but i don't see how to do this without HSRP or VRRP. The thing is L3 switches will also do VLAN's for the network, so HSRP would mean using 3 IP's for every VLAN and a terrible configuration mess.
I am not seeing the way to do this setup and attach a L2 switch to both L3 switches without using HSRP.
I just want redundancy for the case where one of the routers or L3 switches could fail.
Any light on this kind of setup?
so i already have a registered domain name (www dot guiceassociates dot com) which has a DNS record with an authoritative DNS server linking my domain to my IP address 70.91.50.213 (nslookup using "www dot guiceassociates dot com" or "www dot guiceassociates dot co dot uk" will confirm this).
I have a linux computer(it is successfully running apache, php5, and mysql, and the firewall has http services as an allowed service) that i am using as my webserver. i have statically assigned it the ip address 192.168.200.3
My router is configured to forward port 80 traffic to 192.168.200.3
however, when i type www dot guiceassociates dot com into a browser window from another computer, i get nothing (cannot connect to server)
I'm still new to the idea of hosting my own web server, so any and all advice is welcome, but my ultimate question is:
why isn't this set up working?
I had no problems protecting my webpages hosted by Yahoo, but cannot figure it out for Go Daddy. I'm using Hosting Configuration 1.0. Can anyone help?
My .htaccess and .htpasswd looks good to me, but still the webpages are not protected.
I was developing a website on my friend's server.
Due to some DNS problems we couldn't figure out how to resolve, I decided to just go commercial and bought a Dreamhost package.
I updated the nameservers and the DNS has since propagated. At work today, starting with the fresh, new root, I installed vbulletin and started configuring my website checking my progress live.
However, I get home and I go to my URL and it's still the same as it was when my website was hosted on my friend's server. With a DNS and WHOIS check, the nameservers definately propagated correctly. The FTP contents are the way they were at work. I've cleared all my cache and private data. However I STILL see the old "revert" of what my website USED to contain.
I called up a friend to go to my website and he says it's displaying what it should and verified that it's just on my side. How can I resolve this?
I've reset my router and modem and computer and cleared every temp and cache I know about.
If you're browsing for a new host, do you care about the design of the site you're looking at? Would you be put off a host if their site was poorly designed and ugly?

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe just moved 3 1U's to a new colo center, from a single host in a managed facility. We need some advice on the best way to configure our topology. 2 Systems are Windows 2003, and 1 is Centos OS.
Each host has dual NICs, and we would like to configure 1 NIC for internal server to server traffic, and 1 NIC for the external Internet. We have a checkpoint VPN-1 firewall and several switches to work with.
Our current thinking is that the ALL NICs should be behind the firewall (for protection and for Qos control), and the external NICs need to be bound to the actual external IP address to avoid NAT issues with some of our Apps that can't handle NAT translation through the firewall (Asterisks VOIP using UDP for one).
Is it possible or recomended to do this? I have tried everything I can with our router to allow the external NICs to be bound to an external IP but still participate on the network behind the router to no avail.
Our other host had only 1 NIC bound to the external IP, and only the windows firewall turned on to provide firewall protection. We really dont have any real life experience configuring this type of setup,
In short, the main page for my Mediawiki install loads very slowly. I know I have a lot going on with the main page and can do some other things to speed it up but my main issue is a 10.5 second pause that I can discern no reason for. I ran the site through GT Metrix and saw this:

What is that long pause for and how can I stop it?
It seems there are several ways to get a website:Build it yourself using tools software
like Dreamweaver, MS Frontpage, etcHand coded using basic text editors (or combination WYSIWYG and hand coded for w3c validation)Web builders & site studio web tools provided by web hosts Templates (both original and modified)
What I am most interested in knowing is choice most people use and for the web hosts/designers out there, do you find most people favor templates and site building software over customer design?
Personally, I have found most people favor either modified templates and custom designs and find web building tools like SiteBuilder and Site Studio too limiting.
Some people seems to still like Fantastico Deluxe though.
I have just seen Leno Host's design And saw Hunter's work before. Is this a copy or real work?
The work LenoHost looks a little dodgy? No clue if it is or isnt.
i already setup caching for html, images, css, js etc. but my pages are dynamically generated by CMS like wordpress and similar.Is there any apache module or any clever way how i can cache whole dynamically generated page on my server?I mean like i have 6GB ram free, so i would like to dedicate like 3gb for this cache.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have almost finished designing my site and so I'm looking for a host. However, in looking for hosts I found that a lot of them were scams or were not to be trusted. There were lots of review websites that gave a top 10 listing, and the top 2 always used to be justhost and hostingmonster. Which I didn't really trust as Justhost gave me this silly thing when I tried to leave the page saying 'you can talk to a special agent to get a discount' and all that tosh.
So basically, I'm looking for a host that has a fair amount of space, preferably linux OS and preferably in the UK, and it must have MySQL support and be nice cheap one if possible, around £3.00 a month is fine.
I just design websites on the side. I've done about 10 or so and have ended up hosting them on my shared hostgator account as addon domains. I've decided to leave my current "day job" and want to try to pick up a few more web jobs in the interim.
I want to stop putting more websites in my shared account, I don't want to be a reseller and I want to be able to direct people to a host where they would get good customer service for hosting and email issues. I thought it would be nice to establish a relationship with a reseller to whom I could refer my web design clients. Ideally, it would be someone that's local (Twin Cities, MN) and I could meet in person to see if we'd work together well.
Do others do this? Does it seem to make sense to do this?
Another option would be to refer directly to hostgator. I've been happy with them but I haven't needed much in the way of customer service. Do they work well with hosting clients who don't know anything about hosting?
At some point I might want to be a reseller, but right now I want to concentrate on design and learning some new things (CMS is the next thing on my plate).
Are there any web designers/developers who offer hosting to their clients as part of their website creation package. I am toying with the idea of only creating websites for people who host with me. I currently have a colo server, but only use it for personal things. So I have no experience with the needs and demands of clients in regards to hosting. What are some of your experiences with hosting for clients? Is it worth it?
