Guest Z. Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Hi I saw the other posts on multiple domains and I just have one question. I have a subdomain that I purchased a domain name for just to make it easier to find a while back as people interested in that sub don't necessarily want anything to do with the rest of my site =) Wow that was long winded... ok my question is: the restriction is that I can't point it directly to the sub if I move to hosting with you? I would have to point it to the primary domain's index? Let me know if that fails to make sense, I'm running on severe lack of sleep (some caused by the host I am with and some caused by a couple of the hosts I was doing trials with). Have to say this looks like a wonderful place to be and I will most likely be ordering tonight. cheers, -Damon Quote
Lianna Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 ok my question is: the restriction is that I can't point it directly to the sub if I move to hosting with you? I would have to point it to the primary domain's index? Correct. You can point as many domain names to your primary domain as you wish. But by pointing a domain name to a sub, you are in effect hosting multiple domains on a single account which we cannot allow. Made perfect sense to me! Now go to bed! Lianna Quote
Guest Z-. Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 lol thanks I just wanted to be sure I wasn't violating the rules of my new home (just placed the order). Thanks so much! I've got a great feeling about this =) Quote
Guest Guest Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 oh wow i just found out that by default you all have phpbb, which is the forum software ive been using since v.1.4 hey its not quite bedtime yet, Lianna, stop chasing me! Quote
Lianna Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Is your current host using cpanel? We may well be able to just transfer your existing site over. No headache. No rebuild. Welcome home! (You're room will be up the stairs and to the right. Please go to sleeep now.) Li Quote
Guest Guest Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 the host I am leaving isnt using cpanel, but I have the site close to set up on a host that does (they were really cheap and i thougth i'd give 'em a shot even thought i had reservations, i know better now). as far as setup goes, i'm not too worried, longs as i can get ssh for purposes of importing my phpbb databse etc. never had much luck with the phpbb admin panel restore =) durned http_get... Here's my short sob story... started with cihost a while ago (before they, pardon the expression, sucked big rocks) and at the end I went through ermm 2 weeks of total blackout which was very disheartening. Then I went to communitech.net, who have been good by and large, but they started slowing way down and ceased to be as on the ball about things like keeping perl and php up to date (perl on ctech is well over a year old at this point). Then I started having problems with movable type and decided to look around a bit. I decided to try hostrocket as I don't really need a lot of support and I'd heard they weren't TOO bad other than support kinda stinking. So I tried hr and as it stands cgi just randomly stops working and the server I am testing over there was been rebooted at least once a day since thursday, how's that for uptime? 7 times today I was told the problem was fixed (today alone 7 times...) and it has continued, most often manifested by the inability to get anything but a white screen from our good friend Movable Type. I was going to post on their support forum, but guess what? The posting and searching functions are perl scripts... LOL!!! Anyway, heading to my room now-- thanks again, Li! Quote

Lianna Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Once you get your welcome email from us, please initiate a helpdesk ticket to request SSH access to your account and explain why it's necessary. We do not, by default, enable SSH on any of our accounts for security purposes. Now, that request could take a bit of time to implement, not because flipping the switch takes long, but we do our best to see *who* you are and determine if granting SSH is a good idea. It's nothing personal, we just have to protect the servers and our clients that are depending on them. We hope you understand. Hope you got some sleep last night! (D. - yep, Mom, that's me! ) Li Quote
