Multi Domain Hosting

A common question:

I have this code so I can have multiple sites on one server. It’s in my htaccess.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/jgames/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jgames.us.to
RewriteRule (.*) /jgames/ [L]

Its saying that if you’re visiting the site from the domain ‘jgames.us.to’, go to directory ‘/jgames/’
But there are two problems with it. One, it mostly works, but does not display my css,

and two, if you click a link it still shows the index page.

You can go to jgames.us.to to see the problem, and comic.us.to/jgames to see the original site.

I really need this fixed! Thanks!

A common question:

I am going to host a website on a desktop computer connected to a broadband (always on) connection and I read that I need to forward port 80 so that remote computers’ traffic isn’t directed to the other computers on my network. If I forward port 80 to one computer, will the others lose there ability to connect to the internet?

Also, I don’t know if I can ask multiple questions in one, but these are related. How do I associate a domain name I register with, say, GoDaddy, with my home external IP? I also read that you have to use DynDNS because ISPs change your external every so often, but I don’t know that you can use a DynDNS account with a website that isn’t one they already registered i.e. yoursite.theirsite.net.

Thanks

A frequently-asked query:

I’m going to be vague about any site that has my images for risk of my images being stolen again.

For the past month, I have been posting my iPod drawings on a image hosting website and then on to an art website. Everything seemed fine until I decided to Google one of my images to see if it was on Google Images. I noticed that not one, but multiple images were stolen from me by this Myspace icon maker site. So I looked to see if they left any credit for them and the only thing I could find was
"We do not claim ownership of images, some images are created by us, some created for us by various designers."
I never created those drawings for their usage.
I then tried to contact them, however they "wrote" their email using an image that was deleted making it virtually impossible to ask them to delete them from the site.
So now annoyed, I Googled ‘THEWEBSITE’ complaints.
Turns out that other people have the same problem. Just no one has done anything.
I have the proof that the images are mine. I still have them on my iPod on which I drew them. I have made my image hosting albums private to prevent any future images from being stolen.
I’m currently writing a letter to the domain about it.
But how can I find out when my images where stolen? And is there anything that I can do to show more proof than two sites that have the uploaded images that I uploaded?

Hi,

I just set up my mom’s website with godaddy, and I’m still new to this. I want to try and set up her email, but I have two different email options. What is the difference? I tried their help site, but I couldn’t seem to find the answer I was looking for.

These are my options:
Free Email with domain – Personal Email (1 GB Total/1 Box) Use Credit (1 Avail)
Free Email with hosting – Free Hosting Email Account (100MB) Use Credit (1 Avail)

Basically I want to be able to sent up an email with info@xxxx.com or maybe contactus@xxxx.com.

Which is the one i want to use and why?

Plus, do you know if I will be able to set up multiple email ID’s? (like both info and contactus, and have them go to same inbox?)

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.

A frequently-asked query:

I am trying to find a decent web site builder to download that is free. I have a domain name, web hosting and email service already. I have a basic page at the web site but I want to build a good site with multiple pages.

I originally made the mistake of using Yahoo Site Builder to create a site only to find out that I needed to use Yahoo hosting to publish it. I did the same with Homestead. No more mistakes. I want to create a site that I can publish to any host.

I found Yahoo and Homestead to be excellent programs. Can anyone recommend a similar program to download free that will allow me to publish to any hosting service? Also is their any way to publish the sites I built on Yahoo or Homestead to another host?
This is being done for a non profit charity that is just getting started. There is very little start up money and none to pay someone to develope a site. An inexpensive program would work if there are no good free ones,
All answers so far have been good answers. I wish I could select them all as "BEST" answers. Unfortunately, money is an object. The non-profit charity I am trying to help is just getting started and with the start up expenses, they don’t have enough money for a good program. A domain and webhosting has been provided for them through DreamHost it doesn’t appear they include a website builder. If anyone would like to e-mail me direct, the address is email4fb-guard@yahoo.com . Thank you for all the good answers.

A frequently-asked query:

1. Can I host multiple sites on a single IP with same port 80? If so, how? My sites will be like
site1.mydomain.com
site2.mydomain.com
etc

2. If my IIS doesn’t belong to a domain (e.g. mydomain), can I enable the Access Authentication feature so that only users from mydomain can access it?

I have other domains within my network (eg. domain2, domain3, etc). When I have "Anonymous access" unchecked, only users from mydomain can acces the site, domain2, domain 3 can’t.

3. I don’t want to make this server to be par of mydomain domain. Do I have to?
