  1. Yes, just set up a hosting account here, upload the information to the new account ( using the IP address) then change over the DNS to our nameservers.
  2. Hi Nat, In terms of unbalanced DIV's, yes I was referring to having them incorrectly nested. Personally I indent the code, so that I can see where each one opens, and gets closed again. If you want something to do that for you try a google for 'tidy html' and you'll find a free program for tidying up your source code, including indents. There are several versions online - so you can just cut and paste. Yes that's correct. This was just added as the style for the menu items that are on the 'top' line - and hence only affects them, moving them apart nicely. Sub menus do not have that style, and hence are not indented. I find w3schools.com/css/default.asp a good resource for css. I would also suggest using validator.w3.org to validate your html and jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ to validate your css.
  3. /dev/null is a virtual-file that can be written to. Data written to this file gets discarded ... basically it's saying go to 'device - nothing' .... so it's just linux terminology for discard and it's a virtual file ... it doesn't exist Thomas beat me to it
  4. Adding Invision Power Board onto an account is relatively straightforward, they provide relatively good installation instructions. If you have problems, just ask
  5. You will need a new account for the forum, if you want it to be on a different domain name. Personally I'd go for SMF - http://www.simplemachines.org/ but it does depend what your exact requirements are. Since that one is free, try installing / using it ... have a play.
  6. Welcome to the forums SmooCruise You could install Invision or vBulletin ( both of which you need to buy a license for ) or you could using a forum such as SMF which is free.
  7. Hi Nat There are several errors and issues here. For the menu - I'd suggest creating a new class - say topmenu. Then in the code use that class e.g. > <a class="topmenu" href="#" onclick="return clickreturnvalue()" onmouseover="dropdownmenu(this, event, 'menu2')">Binding</a> and then in menu.css create the topmenu class >.topmenu { margin-left: 19px; } In terms of the shift - I think it's mainly because your div's are not balanced correctly. You will also need to define the height for the header class - otherwise the bg header will appear behind it. There are also a couple of other errors, for example you use >color bold white; in css whereas you should use >color white; font-weight: bold; I had a quick play at tchtest.com/nat/
  8. For those of you who tried to access servers at the TotalChoice Hosting Data Centre early this morning, you will have found sites unreachable. This was due to a Layer 3 routing issue. Everything is clear again now. Please open a ticket at the help desk if you have any remaining issues.
  9. embarrassingly low for me
  10. Welcome to the forums Ron Thanks for the kind words
  11. Hi Joe, Simply set the DNS to the same nameservers as you use for your primary account, and open a ticket at the help desk - and ask us to 'park' the alternate domain names on your main account.
  12. Hi Dave, Yes, that's correct.
  13. Hi Cheryl. On dedicated servers, yes. Not on shared servers though.
  14. I went out to the railway line ... and took a standard photo ... looking towards the tunnnel. Then I managed to find a piece of railway track - in the bushes ... lots of nice colours .... so I added that one to. I'd like to see a picture of a pen please - see how unusual you can make it though
  15. It was raining this morning - so I went outside to take a photo of the rain hitting the pond .... only to find I'd been beaten to it by Vivek Anyway I'll attach the photo and think about nipping out to the railway this afternoon ...
  16. sometimes the link goes over 2 lines - make sure you combine the two lines when you copy and paste it.
  17. If you go to https for abc.com and it's parked on abcd.com - and the certificate is for abcd.com - they will getting a warning in their browser that the certificate if for a different domain than the URL. It will still work - but they will get a warning - and may decide not to continue
  18. HI Dave, Yes that's a good way of doing it. The only other thing you will need to change is the SSL cert ( as it will be for abcd not abc )
  19. If you can reach your site, but not your cpanel, the most common reason is a firewall on your local machine / router. They'll be able to take you through the process of checking via the help desk.
  20. I edited your post - To remove your email address, and hopefully save you from a little spam. Unfortunately it doesn't use the delivery date - hence it will show them at the top of the list of sorted by date. You can either delete these emails ( as they are often spam ) or you can manually edit the date - or you could just park them in an 'undated' folder if you wanted to. I'm not sure if others have other options / suggestions.
  21. To answer the last part first ... you can only host multiple different domains on the same account, going to different pages, if you have a reseller account. As for how domain names work ... let me try a brief description. You get a domain name through a domain name registrar ( basically you rent the name for a given period). At that registrar you can define the nameservers. These nameservers are the key servers that tell all other computers where your site is. This is communicated around the globe via DNS ( Domain Name Servers), these are effectively signposts which tell any browser where your domain is (which IP address it is at). On the server itself, where there are multiple accounts on the same IP address, there is code on the server so that the correct pages are served when someone asks for a specific site.
  22. The same here from the UK - the problem that's limiting it ( from a site perspective ) is having 45 images on there which need downloading. You would be better combining some of those into 1.
  23. Hi Dave, Try The Billing Desk
  24. Hi Massi, If you are not receiving any emails with regard to the domain name, it sounds as if either the email address we hold is incorrect, or the emails are getting caught in your spam filter. Please let us know your domain name, and I'll point you in the right direction.
