When you change merchant solution providers (web hosting), does your page rank reset?

I need to find a new web hosting provider and/or shopping cart service that allows my online store to accept payments in Canadian funds. If I change my web hosting company as well as my shopping cart provider will my page rank start from the beginning? Thanks!

My family has an online commerce site and when we switched from Microsoft BCentral as our host to another company out of Georgia out page ranks plummeted! We were in the top 5 on Google and Yahoo and it took about 2 weeks to optimize the new site and get our rankings back. We did not change anything drastically on the page, just some of the text and the look (color scheme, layout) of the site. We got a shopping cart that was much easier to use and had lots of other features like coupon codes and wish lists. And from my understanding the small changes we made actually helped us gain higher rankings after the initial switch over. Hope this helps!

Frontpage forms unable to submit succesfully?

I have a website and already upload it a few weeks ago. The problem is after i clicked the submit button, an error page came up saying Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "http://www.modelmajalah.com/borang.htm". But my hosting server did have a server extension installed in it. The webhosting webmaster didnt answer me very well, he just put a link for me to surf for an answer, but nothing happened.

Your webhosting guy is the only one who can solve this for you.

To make sure you dont run into this issue, use ASP Coding to send email yourself.

how can i get a free email hosting for my company ?

how can i get a good email hoster for free for my company, e.g. blablabla@aviationdirect.co.uk ?

thanks in advanced… please try and post a link, thanks.

I recommend Google Apps for your domain.

http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html

The standard edition is free.
You can open up to a 100 @aviationdirect.co.uk accounts.

You basically get gmail but with your own domain name.

Will there be any issue with transferrig a PHP database site to another hosting company?

We are going to transfer a PHP based site from one hosting company to another. It’s currently running on a Linux/Apache server. If we copy all the files over to the new server, will there be any issues. If we name the database the same as on the previous server, do we have to do anything to get the site to recognize the database? Thanks

If the host doesnt support PHP, then you might not be able to get the PHP files to work. Some hosts do not support PHP or any CGI support. I had to learn the hard way with mine. I have used one company for years, and then researching later how to use PHP, and when I tried to implement it in mine, they told me it was not compatible. I use FatCow now because of the PHP and CGI scripting capabilities.

What are some creative, simple, and inexpensive decorating ideas?

I am hosting a pre-Thanksgiving party for about 50-100 people. They are all Graduate students, Faculty and their families. I am looking for some great decorating ideas, that are creative, simple and inexpensive. What are some ideas? Table decorations are needed as well as general decorations. Thanks in advance.

Go pick some fall plants – some sumac, dry grass, branches with red leaves on them, whatever strikes your fancy.

Plunk them into hollowed little pumpkins or gourds for centrepieces. You can dress them up by tying a ribbon around the plants to hold them together. You can do the same with mini-pumpkins for votive or other candles – cut a hole and plunk the candle inside the pumpkin. I personally think, though, that buying a couple of nice tapers and setting them on cheap candle stands looks classier.

You should try your local dollar store. Mine sells glass vases, decent looking plastic and fabric foliage, and jacquard-style table runners. They also sell tapers for 2-4 for a dollar, and candleholders starting at 40 cents each.

Macromedia Coldfusion?

does any version of Coldfusion support multiple site hosting like IIS?

If you are referring to hosting multiple sites on the SAME server, then you need ColdFusion MX 6.1 or 7. CF can be installed to se JRUN4 and use J2EE, and that will give you the capability of running multiple instances of the server. Here is a handy guide from Adobe (which bought out Macromedia) that shows you how to properly install CF to use multiple instances:

what is the best combination of hosting management software to use if setting up a webhosting business?

Considering dell rackmountable 1U hardware, running RedHat Linux, Apache and possibly Websphere … need a reliable combination that is easy to maintain and preferrable has automated billing functionality. Need real world advice preferrably from a systems engineer in the trade. Thanks in advance.
Starting a small webhosting business in Dublin Ireland. Would be interested in a partnership with a systems architect/engineering professional working in the industry. (Not necessary to be located in Ireland). Support consultancy also availabe to any candidate willing to invest expertise and knodledge in the build of the system.

There are several really good "Hosting Packages" for you.
Zervex has one that does a nice job called DSM
http://zevex.com I have used it and it is easy for customers to understand and use which I find important. You can add a billing system it is not built in but there are some that work with it.

CPanel is widely used and many really like it but I had so many issues I stop using them — that was a couple of years back so maybe they have corrected some things but I still see users with issues.

http://cpanel.com

Hsphere has some really nice modules and is very scalable even Load Balances for web and mail includes billing system and is multi platform which makes it really nice well worth a look. Even has a site studio you can add into the mix. But you can add site studio into most other packages as well!

http://www.psoft.net/

If you want a full open source one ISPConfig is not a bad package. We loaded it and it does do well, I don’t think there is any billing system for it although there are some that I am sure would work.

http://www.ispconfig.org/index.htm

Plesk and Ensim are also OK but I personally don’t like them just due to structure and overhead issues that we experienced with them both and with the constant costs for upgrades etc. (Ensim worse than Plesk at that point!)

The answer to your question is really what you like and what you are willing to pay for the system. You can get FREE versions of DSM and trial versions of most of the others. I do like the things HSphere does and has some nice features that I haven’t seen on others. The pricing is not too bad but I would prefer per server costs.

I just found Websphere was just a too little IBMish for me and too stuck on J technology which is ok but not as mainstream as some others.

Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me if you need more details.

Best ASP.NET (C#) web hosting?

Hi!
I got a contract, and I would need to find a ASP.NET 2.0 (C#) web hosting.
This is for a small website, I do not need a database (well for now).
Any suggestions?
I found GoDaddy, which is not expensive, (I probably buy the domain name here) but I would like some recommandation or comments.

Thank you very much!

I have a few dozen websites with GoDaddy. The hosting is fine. You should be aware that they are rather restrictive with MS SQL Server connections, and you’ll have to carefully read their literature if you ever want to use SQL Server. Otherwise, I love it!

P.S. I might point out that they also support MySQL and Access without the MS SQL issues.
