We have our on Godaddy and website (developed on php) and emails are running. We developed new website with asp.net, umbraco, sql 2012 which we want to host on arvixe but with same domain name.
I am actaully not an IT Admin so I am not sure about the procedure to do this.
I want to run new website on Arixe with old URL (website hosted on Godaddy) but do not want to transfer emails. Emails should run under godaddy.
What information I exactly need from old registerar to have configuration on arvixe?
While registering new hosting with Arvixe, there is an option to give (existing domain name) if we have and a checkbox with "I want to transfer my domain" Do I need to transfer my domain??
Please reply as I am not aware of this all.

I built a website (localhost) using PHP and HTML through XAMPP. Now, I want to publish it online (webhost), available to everyone. What should I do? Thanks in advance!
First you need a host to upload your files. For this purchase hosting space from godaddy, bluehost or someother provider. You need to purchase a domain too. After domain and hosting space, if you have purchase linux hosting, then 90% chance is that you will get a cpanel. So log into your cpanel then navigate to 'public_html'. Inside this, using some ftp client like filezilla, or cpanel's build in upload feature, upload all your files. If your website needs a database, then you need to create a database, add database user and password using database wizard tools in cpanel.
When you will purchase a hosting, these things will be very clear once you login and expore a little.
Moving a website to another host consists of the following steps:
Moving the website's files.
Moving the website's database(s) (if any).
Configuring your application to work at the new host.
Pointing your domain's DNS to the new host.
A more detailed breakdown of these steps can be found below:
Transferring the files to the new host
The most convenient way to transfer your website's files to your new web hosting account is via FTP. You should connect to your hosting account and download the files locally to your computer. Then you have to upload them to your new hosting account's main folder (usually public_html, www or httpdocs).
More information on how to use FTP can be found in our FTP tutorial.
Transferring the website's databases
You have to export the database content from your old hosting account (usually into an SQL file), create a new database at your new hosting company and import the information in it. For detailed information on how to import/export databases via phpMyAdmin you can refer to this tutorial.
Application setup on the new host
This really depends from the website application that you are using. For step-by-step instructions on how to reconfigure some of the most popular applications

So i am having a problem, there is a website which have been hosted on plesk and currently to access that website i have to change my hosts file in system32 folder and put the IP and website domain name to access that file. Now i want to remove that so that i can access my website without editing my hosts file. How can i do that?
Note: I didn't made those settings on that website where i have to edit my hosts file to access the website and the website is made in wordpress.
I really dont have idea what to do because i have always used wamp to use it on localhost. Please Help guys!! thanks alot.
The issue is that your website does not have public DNS records and you should create them.
As you want to host it on Plesk server let me explain on example:
Let's assume that you have created a website and called it example.com. For development and tests you used wamp server on your local machine and to reach website you edited local hosts file.
Now you want to move it to production, so what you need to do:
First you should register your domain. You can do it with some registrar like GoDaddy.
Next you need to create this domain in Pleks > Subscriptions > Add Subscription. On this step Plesk will create a DNS zone for your domain on local DNS server.
After that you have two options:
1. Allow Plesk to host and serve DNS zone. In this case you need to configure Plesk server as name servers for your website on registrar side.
2. Use another DNS server, for example provided by your hosting provider, and configure zone for your website manually.
Finally you need to wait until zone will be propagated world-wide and your website will become accessible.
You can read more about DNS here, here and here.
I have a domain in godaddy and would like to host my website in my local server. I don't know the entire process, can someone please help me?
I am using wordpress. In xampp I installed wordpress and run my website locally, I want to point this local site to my domain
I know my question isn't clear,
my site is running locally with out any problems
am already purchased the domain in Godaddy.
I want to link my website with domain name.
I have a Windows 2012 R2 on a dedicated physical server
Installed XAMPP on the server
running my website locally.
What is the procedure for linking my local website with domain name?
Find an IP of your server
Configure your domain to point to the IP of your server
Setup your server to handle sub-domains properly, if needed, all required rewrites etc.
I hope there must by some help from Godaddy, how to link your IP to your domain name.
If you're running it locally make sure you've opened port 80, and make sure your ISP knows you are hosting a web server as they normally require a business plan for large amounts of traffic.
I would suggest getting web hosting or a VPS and make sure you're pointing the A record # and the A record www to your IP.
Don't know your IP? Google "what's my IP"
Sorry for the question(not so specific), because i don't know how to ask it.
I want to create a platform with all includes like wix.com. IK BIG DREAMS. However, i don't know how they do to host every domain and every person that creates a website and does it thru php pages.
i mean, here a better example would be a hosting company, like they have php pages that automatically create your user, control panel and host you on a fragment of their servers after you pay and i want to do such a thing with like a dedicated server and host subdomains to my domain and those subdomains will be people's websites(just like wordpress.com does) and if they want to add a domain they just buy it and link the host to the domain.(WITH PHP, no server control panel or something like this)
PLS HELP

I have a site developed in ASP.NET and hosted on a windows server using shared windows hosting account at godaddy.
I developed a replica of my website in php and hosted my php site on a free hosting service (php, linux, mysql) and its working fine. This is on a shared subdomain. Example (mysite.freehostprovider.com)
Now I want to continue using the free hosting service. So I would like my site to be redirected from www.mysite.com to mysite.freehostprovider.com
Since I have not paid for Windows hosting. They have stopped hosting for my site. But my domain is valid till 2010. What do I need to do to see my website go live # www.mysite.com
My free hosting provider supports redirection. I tried but wasn't successful.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
You need to enable forwarding or redirection from your domain registrar. If it is GoDaddy you are using then check out the "Forwarding a Domain" portion of this support article (page 4): http://help.godaddy.com/article/2227
Ideally you would CNAME www.mysite.com to mysite.freehostprovider.com, but a free hosting provider might not let you do that (they'll be using vhosts, so you can't just go ahead and do it).
You should probably give the redirection another go.
