Multi Domain Hosting

A frequently-asked query:

So, I’m going to be designing a site for my mom.

She wants a site that can have multiple pages. She also needs a site where she can post photos of swimmers and can be eaily organized. In addition, we need to be sure we can design our own template for the site with no hassle. On the optional side, member login/register, where they can get messages from the main admin, a domain, or possibly message forum.

We want to stay relevently cheap, but are willing to pay some money. Can anyone provide links to different website hosting sites that can do these?

Five Common Domain Registration Mistakes – Which One Do You Want to Avoid?

However, do not make these mistakes when registering your domain name.

Click here to download the full report on how to avoid domain registration mistakes.

Mistake #1: Not Registering a Domain Yourself

You know how a business owner hires someone to create a website for their company and then after a few years, the person (or company) who created the website disappears for whatever reason? The person or company may have moved out of the area; the person might get another job; or they may be out of business.

Then unknowingly, the web domain registration expires and is automatically, electronically gobbled up by opportunistic domain squatters. These domain squatters then register the expired domain in hopes that the original owner will be highly motivated to purchase the domain name at a much higher asking price. Usually, squatters might ask for $200 to $2000. Sometimes, it could even be much more.

So what should you do instead if you have not registered the domain yet? Just go to one of the best domain registration services below and register the domain yourself.

• Namecheap – one of the cheapest with free domain privacy for first year.
• Godaddy – the most popular and trusted domain registrar.

Did someone else register your domain name for you? A webdesigner or web host perhaps has done it for you. That’s fine, but you’ll want to check a few things. Find out what you should do next.

Mistake #2: Forgot to Renew Domain Name on Time

You are working real hard to beat your online competitors, search the entire internet for your targeted audience, calling all your suppliers bargaining for the lowest cost price so that you can have a much competitive pricing, but be sure you have not missed your domain renewal notice, you should always renew your domain on time to avoid loosing your business.

There are various ways to keep your domain name safe.

Mistake #3: Paying Too Much for a Domain

You only should pay extra for a premium domain name, i.e the domain has been registered by somebody else so they can sell at higher price. A domain name is a domain name. You pay to reserve the name on yearly basis. By paying $35/year instead of $12/year does not give you:

• a top placement in Google's search result. You still need to work on your Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
• a website. You still need a website built!
• a hosting space. A reliable hosting like Hostgator is recommended and should cost only around $10/month. The Hostgator coupon codes 2012 could save you more for your first invoice.
• visitors to your website. You still need to do some marketing and promotion to get visitors.

Mistake #4: Not Aware of Registration Scams

Registering your domain name is usually safe, but as with anything, there are some folks who may try to scam you. Here are two things to watch out for:

• You might receive offers (email or snail mail) from other registrars who may lead you to believe that you need to renew your domain name with them. While you can do that (you can transfer registrars at any time), these offers usually are at high prices. Don't fall for it. Know who your registar is. If the notice isn't from your registrar, pitch it in the trash.
• "Lock" your domain name. Registrars offer a feature called "domain locking" at no extra cost. It prevents your domain name from being transferred to another registrar unless you authorize the transfer by first "unlocking" the domain. It's a good safeguard, and you can do it online in just a couple steps.

A frequently-asked query:

I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas of a sitebuilder that would work with what I need. I wanted to use WordPress but I cannot do videos or integrate vBulletin. I like Blogspot but I cant do multiple pages.

I have been working on my website for about forever. I found a ‘builder’ I like. It’s www.blogger.com which is just a blog program. I like it because I can make it look how I want with HTML coding. I know SOME HTML but cannot write templates very well. I also have a vBulletin forum for the site as well. My husband owns our server and hosts my site. I also have Zen Cart but can change if need be. I use alot of digital scrapbooking to do my pages.

My current site is www.eastbayyorkies.blogspot.com
I do sites like that on there for other people as a side business. They dont mind using Blogger but they also dont mind having one page. I also have my domain, its just hosted with Blogger until I get it done.

Any ideas?????

A frequently-asked query:

I have multiple domains registered through godaddy… We will call two of them "MyMappedDomain.com" and "MyForwardedDomain.com". I have "MyMappedDomain.com" is mapped to my IP through a different company. GoDaddy is forwarding "MyForwardedDomain.com" to "MyMappedDomain.com" but there is no direct mapping of "MyForwardedDomain.com" to the IP. On my Ubuntu server I have "MyMappedDomain.com" up and running but want to be able to run two sites. With the info above can i still redirect any request to "MyForwardedDomain.com" to a different site on my server since the forarding is occuring through GoDaddy and there is no direct p mapping going on? Note I am using "rapache" on my ubuntu server.

ITS A SCAM!

I PURCHASED SOME SHOES RECEIVED WRONG ONES. I’D EMAIL THEM AND I WOULD NOT GET A RESPONSE. THIS IS WHAT JAKE FROM YAHOO ANSWERS ADVISED ME TO DO: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Agl.bFyAujukUg07i3Vv8zDAFQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20111125191345AA49Lso

If you don’t manage to track them down you may have to settle for a degree of satisfaction from getting them on various scam reporting sites.

It’s obviously a slapped together that you probably see in hind-site that you should have never dealt with, note the form for the business information was left unedited in the Contact Us page. Any online store with only an email address or contact form on their Contct Us page, wit no address and no phone number should not be trusted, such an anonymous operation can too easily hide. Also notice the footnote describing Airforceone.cc, that may have the previous name it went under. It has all the earmarks of a Chinese knockoff site, just couldn’t find any Asian footprints.

Didn’t see obvious scam reports in a Google search, it is probably too new to have made it onto theses.

That’s a 10 week old site (under it’s current domain reg. run) paying extra to have their domain name registration concealed by a private proxy. It almost takes a court order to get the real owner revealed, still it’s always worth looking up the info, the majority of sneaky Chinese sites will be revealed.

If they are U.S. based you may have more legal recourse.

This appears to be their site hosting company in Chicago, it is in no position to get a refund but might shut them down with multiple complaints.

A frequently-asked query:

When I have www.domain.com as a host header, it responds with the www, but without the www it goes to the default website. When I add domain.com as a host header, it still responds with the www, but without it responds with a dns error. I assume this is because it can’t decide to go to the default web site or the website with the host header.

i have multiple websites, so i cannot simply make domain.com the default website.
like i said, i set both www.domain.com and domain.com as host headers for the website domain, but when i did, it just started throwing a dns error when the www wasn’t used
