Hi,

I want to transfer my domain, to the cpwebhosting, and will go with the linux shared hosting account.

You need to just change the Domain Name Servers (DNS) setting with your current domain registrar.
You will get the mail which states that:

You have chosen to transfer domain “domain-name”. To complete the transfer, you need to contact your Domain registrar and have the DNS information changed; otherwise your site will never be available online.

There must be a transition plan to minimize your site downtime. Changing your DNS settings to point to your new host has a propagation period. I suggest you transfer your files first and once this is complete, that’s the time you change your DNS settings.

That is correct, your new hosting company will provide you with the needed information and you will then have to have it changed in the registrar system so that your domain points to the proper location.

Can I assign dedicated IP to a accont?

Dedicated IP can be added to the domain as required. All domains start off with shared IP’s (unless you specifically configure your plan otherwise) and then need to be switched to a dedicated IP manually.

You also need to take into account the hosting company may charge additional fees for dedicated IP addresses. be sure to check to see if there are additional fees so that you are not surprised when you are billed.

Please tell me where to find the less expensive hosting services that still have good service and have a decent uptime. I need some information on this very soon as I am looking to get a site up and running.

which is better between these two. i have no clue about any of them and would really like someone to explain it to me. Help me please. heard there were these two types but have no clue where to start.

Hi,

Basic Unix plan offers 500 MB space same as of the cheapest Reseller Hosting, but in $3.95 in compared with the $6.95 of the cheapest Reseller Hosting, then why should we go for Cheapest Reseller Hosting, when we are getting the same in less price.

Reseller account is for reselling many smaller shared accounts. It also requires little bit more understanding so that you can setup your Reseller Account, sell web hosting and support your customers. With the Reseller Plan, it is assumed that, you are having your own web-hosting company, and the name of the cpwebhosting get concealed everywhere.

reseller accounts work for people who have more than one domain that needs to be hosted, it is a less expensive way of hosting several accounts. Because the space is shared there is less unused space.

Very new to all this and hope that reading these forums will help me to gain an better understanding of the whole thing. thanks for the information.

In your opinion, what is the best way to advertise your site? I’m just curious, and looking for ideas.

I’ve heard that banners are the most effective way to advertise. What is your opion?

I think that it really depends on the site you are wanting to promote. Personally I would use every means I have to start, especially the low cost ones. Then if they are not working eliminate each one that is not bringing in good qualified traffic which leads to sales.

There are a lot of things I would need to know about the site before I could really tell you what may or may not work.

I heard that there are lots of ways that can be successful ways of advertising your website. I am waiting for information on those methods from a friend and will bring them in and post them in here after I get them.

Hi,

What cpwebhosting is charging for the .com domains ?

Hi,

We are not the registrant company, but, you can register a domain with our hosting plan, and for the .com you will be charged $ 8.95 for a year.

You can also get the .org, .net in the same rate of $ 8.95 for a year.

with most hosting plans, you can opt to transfer and existing domain or have the hosting company register a domain on your behalf. As you can see the price has already been given to you. Although it is not the lowest price available, I would have them complete it for you as it is always easier to manage when they are located within the same company.

That appears to me to be very reasonable. I have paid about the same rate for my domain that I am looking to get up soon. I am waiting to find the right hosting service though, since I know very little about it all and my friend is making me impatient.

How, can I add Sub-domain, Plz, can anybody, provide me the steps for doing it ?

3. If you have clicked Add icon, the following form will appear:
i) Enter a new subdomain name in the edit box.
ii) Click Create subdomain button.

4. New window will appear, and it will show your domain, and your new subdomain.

Great step by step procedure for completing the task of adding a sub domain. This is the type of information that all new people would need to know. thanks a lot.

this information will be very useful in the future. I have saved the information so that I will remember that you can do that. Thanks for all the help that these forums have brought me I am learning so much.

As I have started reading these forums, I have been learning a lot. I wanted to know what a dedicated IP Address is, and how what are they used for. Where would you get one from and how can it help a website.
