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.

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"
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.
This morning I received notification from Google (noreply#gooogle.com) that several of my accounts on my shared Linux hosting reseller account had phishing links placed on them. They were all different hosted domains on the same reseller account. The links had something in common, so were probably placed by the same hacker. All suspicious links looked like this:
example.com/~cp/request/linkd/index.php?userid=aname%40domain.com
I contacted the hosting company about a possible vulnerability on their servers, but I was wondering if these links could have been placed on my accounts due to one of my admin passwords being compromised. I also would like to know where I could find these links and remove them myself. I'm not sure where to track down the /~cp/request/linkd/ Linux directory. Is this related to a cpanel directory? My search of my file system for index.php did not find any suspicious files or directories.
Also, some sites were running WordPress, but are all up to date and hardened installs, and some sites were basic html5 sites (no WordPress).
I think cp user is created on your server and that is the infected USER. I can see mod_userdir is enable on your server and that is the reason they can able to access that infected URL with your domain name (example.com/~cp URL), So please contact your hosting provider and ask them to disable mod_userdir and check that URL again.
This should be addressed by your hosting company. It seems that your hosting server is not configured properly and it allows to access any account using temporary URL using any domain hosted on the server. This is not recommended settings because if one of your accounts is compromised, Google may consider all domains have suspicious code.
You should immediately contact your host to fix this issue. They will have to adjust Apache mod_userdir settings to prevent such issue.
I need to create a common installtion of Wordpress which I can then use accross a number of domains.
I have looked into Wordpress Multisite but I can't want to point all the domains to the same hosting account each domain will need to have it's own hosting domain.
To clarify I need to do the following:
Install a wordpress codebase
Use this codebase for any domain of the server without pointing the domain at that hosting account
Be able to update the Wordpress core & plugins only once
Is this possible??
Hosting specs - UNIX hosting, PHP 5+, MYSQL
I don't think you can acheive this requirement:
Use this codebase for any domain of the server without pointing the domain at that hosting account
Without help from the hosting company to implement something like NFS at the OS level.
If the domains will share a wordpress installation, what files remain to be hosted separately?
