DNova posted:If it's cpanel and the old one is your "main" domain name you might be best off contacting support for this. Not much other choice basically. On cPanel the primary domain is tied to the account when it is created. Add-on domains can be moved around easily and pointed to whatever directory. Adding the new domain as an add-on would work (point it to public_html), but your account will still be listed as the old domain.

I am looking for some hosting. Its somewhat different from my regular reselling hosting in that it will be a backend for a large iPhone app were launching. I probably want VPS and some redundancy. Can I get 2 VPS deals and sync them? Could that share the load so I dont rape bandwidth on one account? Any good deals / Goon Deals?

I've been going through the painfully slow process of transferring over 80 websites from Inmotion since they went down for a couple hours 2 weeks ago. I'm about half way through. Then InMotion goes down again today, and my phone has been ringing off the hook with pissed of customers still on their servers. gently caress Inmotion, they are the worst loving host I've ever dealt with. On top of this all, I'm going to eat around $600 as InMotion keeps my empty servers online for the rest of the year.

Any recommendations for good DNS hosting and registration? I've been with dreamhost for 6 years, and it's time to upgrade. I'm going to serve content from my VPS, but I need to find a new company to handle my website registrations and DNS hosting. Thanks guys!

Just choose an appropriate VPS in the first place rather than bodging together some goontastic solution on a shoestring. intoVPS is $10/mo for 500gb/mo bw. Unless you're averaging >1.6mbps or not making like 3 app sales a month, I don't see what's wrong with that deal.

Linode allows you to pool bandwidth across your VPSes, so if you got a couple Linodes to load balance with you'd be sharing their total bandwidth. But depending on what kind of syncing you need to do, that could eat into your bandwidth.

Is Namecheap a Goon recommended registrar for .com and .co.uk domains? If not who should I go for? A company that isn't going to try and screw me two years from now is more important than getting the cheapest possible price. All I need it for is personal email and the very occasional hosting of work related files, have pretty much settled on hosting with Lithium Hosting.

Registrar transfer question. I just received this email from Dotster,Dotster posted:Dotster received notification that you have requested a transfer Do I really have to wait 72 hrs for Dotster to decide that I truly want to transfer? I am tempted to follow the top link to see if there is an approval process but I afraid to see a page that says "sucker! no transfer for you!" I did click the second link but it just takes me to knowledgebase area with questions unrelated to transfers. Only reason I do not want to wait is that this is already 5 days after I initiated it. And I was wanting to change nameservers for this domain but do not want to do it before it transfers.

I just received this email from Dotster, There was a new rule I don't recall how far back that made unlocked domain transfer requests auto approve after a week or so. If you didn't say no, the transfer would auto approve itself. Seems dotster are being lazy shits and using this method to approve transfers instead of allowing you to say yes as soon as the request comes in. Good thing you're moving away.

Yea seems expediting is nearly impossible. I am glad to be moving away from them. Also leaving Zoneedit (which is owned by Dotster as well) after their debacle this week, and finally moving to Route 53.

I want to run my own website (inc wiki), email hosting, jabber, but also have some scheduled DB updates that grab data from elsewhere on the internet; I've never done anything exactly like this, but I used to be a [bad] sysadmin. Is it normal for webhosts to allow everything I would need or would I have to look at more expensive dedicated hosting stuff? Is there any way to get hosting that might outlive me, suppose I die, or go to prison in 3 years but I want my stuff to hang around for at least another 15?

I think most webhosts would do most of that just fine, not too sure on jabber hosting though. That may require you getting a VPS. As far as being around 15 years down the road, I think you'd have to worry about things like the hosting company still existing then, having payments kept current in your abscence, and patching exploits so the site doesn't get jacked.

My brother has a business website that he'd like to keep updated himself. He's okay with computers as far as normal stuff like email and fb goes, but he's not any more technical that that. Is there some kind of automated web management software I could get and set up for him to do simple site management online? He has his own domain and webhost, so if there's some kind of ASP or cgi thing I could set up that would be password-protected and would let him just update the text of pages and add pictures on his own, I think that would give him everything he needs.

Wordpress or something. If your host does proper permissions/setuid or whatever, teach him to click "upgrade wordpress" when there's a new version and to not install tons of potentially malware ridden plugins and that's about it

What vps providers are worth looking at that have reasonable bandwidth pricing? Linode is out of control bandwidth cost wise. 5Mbps is like $5/mo, and to get to that you need to pay an extra ~$100/mo from their basic plan or an extra $40/mo from their $80/mo a plan. It really does not fit my needs at all. I know burstnet is okay provided you want to talk to support now and then. Some of their nodes have less than stellar uptime. I also hate that I can not use my burstnet vps for irssi+bitlbee+mutt. It's such a deal breaker and they would otherwise be ideal. What other options are there? I don't require much of anything except bandwidth, and offering some guaranteed cpu would be nice as well. I don't mind paying up to $40/mo. I was all set on going Linode until I found out their "Extras" price for bandwidth is the same as their overage charge. Most of the bandwidth will be going toward a mumble server which has piddly cpu requirements, and all of the uses for the vps are 100% legal.

Khorne posted:Admittedly I only have a burstnet vps because there was a permanent deal going where you could get a decent vps from them for $4/month. I won the vps lottery with that one and its performance excellent, but it has had probably 30-40 hours of downtime in the past year which is pretty crap when shopping for a permanent home for my hobby stuff. A lot of providers block IRC traffic because it tends to invite illegal content and malicious behavior. Obviously not all IRC users are bad. If you can do without IRC, Server Axis is the best.

They look reasonably priced without being massively oversold, and they provide the type of resources I'd need to use. I'm seriously considering them, and I would definitely pick them over burstnet.

I've been wanting a domain name for a while; Sort of a round-about process, but I picked a pseudonym and would like to get the matching domain but it was bought up by a scummy domain squatter in '05. I've been waiting for it to expire so I didn't have to pay the retarded cost for what is basically a vanity domain for me. It finally expired a couple days ago and I've been trying to figure out the best way to go about buying it. A lot of the stuff I've been reading doesn't seem very up-to-date so I thought I would ask around a bit. The domain just expired on Enom and the WHOIS information now has this: Attribrgpstatusattribute: autoRenewPeriod Registration-Expiration-Date: [1 year past original expiration date] I don't know if the original registrars are going to rereg or what, but the last thing I want to do is give them the impression someone is willing to pay them for the domain. It looks like it will be in a pseudo-grace period for a while before it drops, but the dates seem really fuzzy. Enom also appears to be paired with namejet now, so I think I would have to buy the expiring domain through them. What is the best way to snag the domain? Keep an eye on the whois until the status changes to pending-delete and then bid on it? Just wait for it to drop entirely and hope I can rereg it before it gets resquated?

What's the best way to manage logs? I'm using nginx and it's set to create access and error logs in a site/logs/ folder. I _think_ I want to automatically compress them and, after a while, erase them. This is a Linode running Ubuntu if it helps.

I've got two questions I'm hoping someone might have some thoughts on. Firstly, I'm looking for recommendations for an affordable host with a data centre in the European Economic Area. I've been using Lithium Hosting (who are awesome) for the last few years however I'm helping set up a site that includes some customer data and British data protection laws state that customer data must reside in the EEA. The site will be very low traffic/bandwidth and relatively low storage (will grow to no more than 3gb) so shared hosting should be fine, however it needs a dedicated IP address (even if this is just an optional add-on). I've checked all the goon hosts listed in the OP and SA-Mart, however none of them have data centres in the EEA. Secondly, I'm struggling to understand the difference between SSL certificates. NameCheap have always been my go-to domain registrar however their SSL certificates page isn't entirely clear. I only need it to cover https://www.domain.com so I (don't think I) need a wildcard certificate, but beyond that I can't see the difference between a PositiveSSL or EssentialSSL certificate, or the difference between issuing authorities. The site it is for is a proofreading service. Payments are all handled through Paypal so I'm not concerned with encrypting payment information, I just need to prevent sniffing usernames/passwords and documents as customers upload/download them. Can anyone shed any light on the differences between SSL certificates for these purposes? blunt fucked around with this message at 22:15 on May 15, 2012 |

As for your SSL question, you'll be fine with RapidSSL or the namecheap equivalent. You can get RapidSSL from Lithium Hosting for $16.95 / year but you'll also need a Dedicated IP Address for $3.00 / month.

I had a look on the hosting page and about page but it only lists your datacenters as Chicago, Dallas and Seattle. I'm still curious about the difference between certificates (though reassured that I don't need a crazy expensive one!). Is it literally just a case of more expensive = wildcard and visual green bar, or is there more to it than that?

blunt posted:Awesome, expect another order soon. I had a look on the hosting page and about page but it only lists your datacenters as Chicago, Dallas and Seattle. I'll be sure to update the server locations... As for SSL Certificates, there is domain, organization and extended validation certificates. Each level requires a certain amount of verification to go into issuing the SSL certificate to ensure the validity of the website / organization that is getting the certificate. Domain validation is the simplest form that just requires you to own the domain. Organization validation requires you to prove you own the business that the SSL certificate is for. Extended validation goes a bit further. Anyways, we can move your existing account to Amsterdam, or you can buy a new account and choose the server location during checkout. If you have additional SSL issues, post in the SA-Mart thread for Lithium Hosting.
