I’m trying to do something like VirtualHosts using mod_rewrite on a GoDaddy hosted site. I have a single hosting account and two domains, a.com and b.com. I want requests for b.com/document.html to be served from ~/html/b_site/document.html (where ~/html/ is the DocumentRoot, serving as root for a.com). I found a reference to this use case in the mod_rewrite documentation suggesting that it is possible, but I’ve been unsuccessful. Here’s the contents of ~/html/.htaccess: RewriteEngine on Options [...]

I’m looking for a best solution to make migration for domain (let’s call it 2.com) that is addon domain to an account hosted with Cpanel. Situation is this – user has one hosting account on WHM/Cpanel server that is created and bound with domain 1.com as a main domain. After few years, he adds new domain – 2.com as addon domain to that account. On the next year, he does not pay for 1.com and [...]

I am in the process of migrating hosting providers. Currently I have significant number of domains pointed at my current NS servers. My new provider has their own NS server that I will need to update all my hosted domains to in order for them to point to the new server. As updating a few hundred domains with new NS records is going to take a LONG time I was wondering if it was possible [...]

My business is… troublesome. What I do is legal in every country on earth, but some people don’t like it, and make it so tough on my poor ISPs that I am forced to go looking for new providers more often than I would like. The only option I know of for somebody in my position is called “bulletproof hosting” (think wikileaks) and it isn’t cheap. The only thing that makes bulletproof hosting expensive, or [...]

I’m a developer, and since I’m not that skilled with server stuff, I wanted to ask, is it possible to have multiple web sites on one IP? Say: foo.com -> 111.222.333.444 bar.com -> 111.222.333.444 The sites are different foo.com != bar.com Platform is Windows server/IIS6 Yes it is. You need to configure host header names for each web site. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324287 Check more discussion of this question.

I am running SQL Express 2008 on my development machine with one instance. For some development, I used the AttachDB Connection string. I really can’t remember the exact reason, but these are not mounted in the normal way. I think I wanted to live edit some data and after ages, I found out how to connect from management studio… I used \.pipeA2108B22-19AA-41tsqlquery However, I am trying to learn MS SQL management a bit deeper and [...]

I have been looking into using http caching for one of my projects on heroku. The site is serving primarily dynamicish (meaning that the actual contents doesn’t change that often) iFrame’s and javascripts. If I am understanding http caching services correctly (ie CloudFront, Edgecast & Akamai also has a similar solution) I will be able to technically scale my server nodes down considerably so long as I set the ttl on the cache to a [...]

One web application that I’m planning relies in [CUDA]http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_home_new.html) for doing heavy math processing. I developed the software at home, but now I’m looking for deployment options. I know that Amazon EC2 provides CUDA hosting, but their instances with CUDA are way too high end and a bit too expensive, at least for the testing stage I have up-front. Anybody knows where can I get affordable CUDA hosting? Check out peer1 and Hoopoe. I don’t [...]

I got a VPS account that is supposed to be pretty performant ( they guarantee 2 2ghz CPU cores and 1.5gb ram). However for a couple of days its been crawling in perforamnce. I recorded a video where I launch Workbench and it is taking 12 minutes on server (through remote desktop) I am running 3 monitoring tools so you can see that CPU/memory are fine. Here is the video: slow performance video I really [...]

My website is hosted on hosting24.com*, which, at the time I purchased their service, seemed like a good enough host. I was (I hope) to be proved wrong. Bascially, they are saying that You need a Gold-package (which is the only account-type that offers a dedicated IP) to be able to have a private SSL. Which is all fine and good. But, and here comes the fun part, they also say that All other accounts [...]
