A link will only be removed if where it takes you would be inappropriate for all the family members. We have under age people frequenting these forums.

That's just great! I'm glad he at least has a sense of humor. And I hope he can collect on the 15k bid!

Madman, those links look promising. Especially the first one. I know the feeling, been there, done that. LOL!

Hi ekrimmel, and welcome to the family! As youneverknow states. Just point the domain name servers to ns1.totalchoicehosting.com and ns2.totalchoicehosting.com and then open a Help Desk ticket to support and request that they park the second domain on your current domain. Also, moving to appropriate forum for organization.

Ouch, that's bad. I take it there is no complete backup of the machine that can be restored. Reinstalling the applications is all I can think of. Hang around and maybe someone else can work some magic for you. Sorry, I can't be of more help for you.

Hi Joly, Although I am no fan of Frontpage you shouldn't have any problems using it to create your web pages and uploading them. If you intend to publish direct from Frontpage you just need to make sure the Frontpage extensions are installed in cPanel. I don't think they are installed by default, and it's a simple click in cPanel to install them. If all else fails, you could always publish your pages to a folder on your own computer and FTP them up to the server. The extensions would still need to be installed on your site if you intend to use any Frontpage specific functions (bots I think they are called). There are users here that use Frontpage to do their sites if you get stuck.

It's in the EMAIL section of cPanel. See attached image.

Thanks, Kevin.

I think the command would look more like this sh /home/~your cpanel login name/public_html/cgi-bin/upcoming_events.cgi You are running a *nix script not a web page. It can't resolve you domain. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Also be sure the CGI script is in the cgi-bin folder and has permissions of 755. I left out the public_html folder.

When you set yout default address to :blackhole: all mail sent to an address you have not defined either as an account or forward will be discarded. Example, you have kim@****** as your email account. You have webmaster@****** set up as a forward to your kim@****** address. Now someone send email to bob@******, this message will be discarded because you don't have an email address or forward defined for it. Here's a good way to test. Create another email account. You can call it anything you like (garbage@******). Set your default address to this account. Now send email to your domain using real addresses and addresses that don't exist. The ones that don't exist should be going to your garbage account. Once you are satisfied it's working correctly set your default account to :blackhole: and remove the garbage account. The ":" colons are required in front and back of ":blackhole:" for it to work correctly. I only have one filter (the Spam Assassin one).

See step 4 under In cPanel: DO NOT enable Spam Box This must be turned off for the filter to work.

I've been hosting here at TCH since July of last year. I was on a server that had a hard drive failure only to find out the the backup drive was also crapped out. This resulted in the installation of a new main drive and backup drive, complete reload of the OS and configuration, security patch updates and reloading all of the accounts on that server. How long was it down? 12-14 hours. Was I mad? Heck no, my last host would have been down for weeks getting fixed. There is no place like TCH that I know of. If you still have a reason to believe that customers are not informed when there are problems and what is being done (been done) to correct them please glance through the Current Server Issues forum. You will see they keep everyone informed to what's going on. And although you see TCH- in front of my name I am a customer and not paid staff of TCH. I just happen to be a forum moderator as well. Hope to see you join our friendly family.

Possibly, the return path can be easily spoofed.

My point with the screen shot was that this IS the TCH domain registration page and it does not have TotalChoice Hosting in the title like the images that you posted.

You should receive a welcome email in 1 to 12 hours. This information was obtained from the FAQ.

I went back to the domain registration page. Here is a screen capture. Look at the title bar of the browser. TotalChoice Hosting doesn't even appear in the title.

As Alan states, they sell domains and not hosting packages. I see the images and I am still skeptical. Look at the packages, look at the prices? They are not even close to what TCH offers.

I'm not sure what happened either and I am a customer here not staff. That said I went to the domain registration page from TCH and the header and footer had TotalChoiceHosting on it. However I clicked every link on SecureServer.net and found no links pointing to where they could purchase a hosting package. Since TCH does not offer a plan called "Junior" I am skeptical as to where your friend purchased the hosting package.

Log into cPanel with your user name/password. On the left hand side of the cPanel page scroll down to the bottom. On the left hand side of the page there is a link to documentation. That should help you. Moving to another forum for organization.

Thanks for the kind words. Welcome to the family, Franklin!

Spam is a major problem. This is the solution that is working for me. One of the forum members ScooterB posted how he set his up in this thread. I pretty much use his setup with a slight modification. I've copied his set up here. When I first set it up, I used this setup exactly. Then I changed it when I was happy that it wasn't catching good email as Spam in the email account I had set up to the following. In cPanel: 1) Create a filer "SpamAssassin Spam Header", "begins with" and then enter "Yes" in the box. Destination "Discard" You will notice that Spam Box is not enabled. This is what is preventing your Spam from being deleted. The other thing you need to do is set your default address in cPanel to :blackhole: which will discard any email sent to your domain for an account that does not exist. This setup will catch better than 90% of your Spam. I also use a client side program called K9 (http://keir.net/k9.html) which is free to catch the rest of the mail. K9 sits between your email client and the server and uses Bayes filtering to mark email you consider to be spam. You can redirect the ones K9 marks as spam to a separate folder in your email client or directly to your trash folder. K9 is a Windows program. Hope this helps.

That was a good one!
