help me find a host provider

Posted by: salamandir  :  Category: Hosting
i am a disabled entrepreneur whose business includes providing web design, maintenance and hosting for a few businesses that have had trouble with hosting in other places. the main difficulty i have been having is finding an appropriate place for ebeneezer dot org, which has been the sticking point for several big name host providers like hostgator, EZPZ, and hostrocket. it's not a porno site, but it does contain "blasphemous" and "adult" oriented content.

i bought a month-to-month reseller account from someone i met on webhostingtalk dot com - michael spears from ismyreseller dot com - but in the past week his servers have been up and down intermittently, i still don't know how to log into my account, and i haven't heard anything from him despite emails, support tickets and live chat, so i figured i'd try again.

this is what i need:

no less than 4GB of space. i currently occupy a little less than 1GB, and i'm hoping to be able to expand.

the ability to have no less than 2 mySQL databases, one for an osCommerce site and one for a wordpress site. it would be nice if i had more, but that's what i need now.

the ability to run perl CGI scripts associated with the above web sites.

i prefer cPanel, but i'm not really that particular. one of the web sites - sedentarysousa dot com - needs a mailing list, which is already set up with "Mailman".

i need no fewer than 5 POP email accounts.

the ability to post "blasphemous" and "adult" oriented content (not illegal) without fear of censorship.

budget of around $100 a year. possiblity of going higher, but i'd like to keep it around that, if possible.

Cirtexhosting down for 20 hours, and still…!!

Anyone using cirtexhosting around? One of their server: cherry been down for 20 hours (as I checked it) and still not up yet till now.

I tried to contact the support and they said cherry server went down due to some critical problems. FSCK is currently running on server.
I don't even know what FSCK means.

This is very bad, I have many commercial websites running on that hosting company and they all down.

Gossh...!!!

changing host

Posted by: bogh  :  Category: Hosting
hi,

right now we host our website in an ISP which is also registers our domain.
the company now is entering a mobile operator business which requires that the website to be moved to our internal network to let the user use our website to access some services.

right now i'm still confused of what to do, what are the steps required to move the host and still alow the people when they type my company domain in the browser to be directed to the new location which is inside my company network , how the DNS NS Public IP issues has to be considered
?

thank you.

Booyah still down

Posted by: neme  :  Category: Announcements
Early today there was an emergency server move at Booyah, and it apparently went fine. But when Fernis had us change the nameservers to a new IP, everything went down---no sites, no email. The Booyah site is down as well, so can't submit a ticket, and the phone number is out of service. We've got some angry clients calling us, and I'm not sure what more to tell them.

Fernis is usually responsive, and we heard from him mid-day that they are working on it, but no mention of the nameservers as the root of the issue, which our diagnostics show is the case, but I can't reach him now to let him know as apparently his mail is down, too. If anyone has any info, can you post here? Thanks!

How to link a domain to another domain?

Posted by: bugboy  :  Category: Hosting
Hello everyone,

I currently have a few websites hosted. One of them is a .NET.
I want to purchase the same domain again, but as a .COM.
How do I link the new .com to the older .net domain?

PS: I use cPanel. ;)

Thanks.
