Geographical location?


What are the pro and cons of choosing a host which is not based in your own country?
It can affect speed of connectivity. That’s a matter of connection though, not actual location. Physical location itself shouldn’t matter at all, as long as the server itself is well cared for.

Servers backup


Does anyone know any web hosting company which backup their servers for a shared hosting account. I was just wondering what would happen if I lost my site.

Every serious host makes backups .Sometimes backups don’t work or maybe your web host get out of business leaving you alone with a non working site!

Always make backups yourself or use a second reliable company for backups!

always choose a Reliable host like cpwebhosting.net . they backup their servers Weekly.

There are numerous scripts including h-sphere that will do backups for you. Just take backup at every weekend. This will give you less worry.

also take the backup of MySQL data, as well as all the related information to get it running again.

I lost a complete forum DB in a server move once, even with standard cPanel backups.

All hosting companies providing backups, but i would also suggest don’t trust on single backup.

There are few factors need to be consider as below;
1. Number of backups,
2. Frequency of backups,
3. Storage Media for backups,
4. location and
5. Most important factor is that retrieval of backup.

MySQL for my websites


Hi, for my shopping carts, chat boards websites, I am using MySQL to manage databases, designing tables, and adding, deleting, and updating records, all from within your web browser.

For, the websites which have got the requirments of the databases, we can use MySQL in them. The MySQL database server is the world’s most widely used open source database management system. A database is a structured collection of data, which may be anything from a list of products on your site to large amounts of information in a corporate network.

To add, access, and process data stored in a computer database, you need a database management system. Since computers are very good at handling large amounts of data, database management plays a central role in computing, as stand-alone utilities, or as parts of other applications.

How we can administer this MySQL?

You can use, phpMyAdmin which is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of your MySQL.

Here is list of phpMyAdmin features:

1. Create and drop databases
2. Create, drop, and alter tables
3. Delete, edit, and add fields
4. Execute any SQL statement
5. Manage keys on fields .

To access phpMyAdmin please follow these instructions.

1. Login to the members section.
2. Click on the MySQL Database tools icon.
3. Click on the phpMyAdmin link beside the database that you wish to access.

www problem with my site


my site is hosted on a dedicated server. if you go to my site http:// sitename.com .. it works properly but if put www. in front nothing comes up, but without www. it works fine.

The problem is you’re missing an A record in the DNS for the www. Add an a record with www pointing to your IP, that should take care of it. Also remember to make sure your host headers are set correctly.

Web Hosting with email backup

Transfer a forum from one host to another???


hi,

i have a forum in my old host and now i want to move it to my new account at cpwebhosting.net, without losing all the posts / members and, of course the skin.

how do i do it?

you create a backup via the cPanel option then restore it via the cPanel on the other host.

You should first install latest version of phpbb from fantastico and then restore the backup of your database from your control panel and add entry of the database name, username and password in the config.php file.
