My IT person quit and refuses to tell me who hosted my web site. How can I find out?

When I go to the web site now it tells me page can not be displayed. Did he delete the web site? My domain is registered so how can I get the web sites back up and running?

My IT person quit and refuses to tell me who hosted my web site. How can I find out?

A starting place is to go to http://www.register.com and do a WHOIS lookup of your domain dame. That will tell you at least who your domain name was registered through.

To find out on hosting, go to http://www.arin.net and type in the IP address equivalent of your website and run a search on it. That will tell you who hosts it.

To get the IP address:

1. Click the %26#039;Start%26#039; button %26amp; select %26#039;Run%26#039;

2. Type: cmd ...and press Enter

3. Type: ping %26quot;your website name%26quot;

(Example: ping www.google.com)

4. It will say %26quot;Reply from%26quot; and will give the IP Address

(Example: Google%26#039;s IP is 64.233.161.147)

My suggestion... sue him.

Or at least threaten legal action.. should get some answers out of him.

Other Replys:Kidnap him at knife point one day and threaten to hurt him if he doesn%26#039;t give you the info.

Other Replys:Check the bills. There must have been a paid invoice for the hosting.

Other Replys:If he doesn%26#039;t work for you he doesn%26#039;t need to tell you anything. However, if he sabotaged anything before leaving, then you can definitely sue him.

Other Replys:May be your IT person deleted all pages. But you can check it by going to www.register.com. their you can enter your web site address like www.myweb.com then they show you that that name already taken and owner is this. you can contact owner by e-mail.

Maybe you can take legal action on IT person.

Other Replys:well u seem to be is tight spot.

well you could do a whois on your sitename and it will give ou the details of the sub-registra, and also details of the site state.

%26quot;page can not be displayed%26quot; can also mean the start page name has been changed.

so the browser does not know what the default page is on the web server.

Other Replys:Go to this website:

http://www.whois.net/

type in the domain and do a search you should get detailed information.

Try this one too:

Is Premier Express Inc. (www.premier-exp.net) the same as Premier Worldwide Express (www.premierworl

I received an offer for employment but GoDaddy says that this domain is registered to someone in california. Looks like a scam.

Is Premier Express Inc. (www.premier-exp.net) the same as Premier Worldwide Express (www.premierworldwide.net)

?閳?wish i could help.

Is Premier Express Inc. (www.premier-exp.net) the same as Premier Worldwide Express (www.premierworldwide.net)

I got the same offer. I found this website and they have the same logo so I think that it probably is a scam. http://www.premierworldwide.com/

Building a Website?

Ok i need an in depth answer on this becuz right now i dont really understand anything. Basically i want to open up an online forum. I have the domain name registered. Next step is a host. What do i need to look for in the host. I mean had anyone ever done a forum. I;m going to use vbulletin as the program. I think im gonna need email accounts and all sorts of things. much help appreciated. thanks.

Building a Website?

You don%26#039;t need a lot of storage and you need a database. I recommend www.godaddy.com. They are the world%26#039;s largest hosting company and have everything you need.

Building a Website?

Easy answer.

Hire a professional. You are just going to bury yourself trying to learn all these things just for a forum.

Other Replys:i use http://www.bluehost.com which has some really good prices and featrues and has built in forum software called phpforum.

enjoy

Other Replys:Go with http://asmallorange.com they have great customer service as well as access to Cpanel which is great for people new to building websites. The version of Cpanel asmallorange uses includes Fantastico which automates the process of installing forums like vbulletin.

Fantistico doesn%26#039;t install vbulletin but can install the following:

Other Replys:You%26#039;ll need to figure out how many people you are expecting. Look for a host with a good customer service record so that they can help you with problems. Look for transfer rate, because if people refresh your pages a lot to see new posts, it will add up.

Other Replys:I think the best idea for you would be to hire a web programmer on contract. I%26#039;ve been a professional programmer for awhile now, and there are some things that you just can%26#039;t learn overnight.

Good Luck

Other Replys:I also recommend godaddy.com as the host. They are the most economical, reliable and secure. And they will install the bulletin board software for you. The most popular FREE bulletin board software is phpBB and SMF.

Are there other options for setting up DNS on a Windows 2003 Server?

I have a Windows 2003 Server and I need to set up VPN, Exchange Server and File Sharing. Is there another option besides setting up my own DNS from Scratch. Also, is it necessary to have a domain name registered with a place called GoDaddy.com

Are there other options for setting up DNS on a Windows 2003 Server?

1. Start the DNS Manager (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - DNS Manager)

2. From the DNS menu, select New Server and enter the IP address of the DNS Server, e.g. 200.200.200.3, and click OK

3. The server will now be displayed with a CACHE sub part

4. Next we want to add the domain, e.g. savilltech.com, from the DNS menu, select New Zone

5. Select Primary and click Next

6. Enter the name, e.g. savilltech.com, and then press tab, and it will fill in the Zone File Name and click Next

7. Click Finish

8. Next a zone for reverse lookups has to be created, so select New Zone from the DNS menu

9. Select Primary and click Next, enter the name of the first 3 parts of the domain IP + in-addr.arpa, e.g. if the domain was 158.234.26, the entry would be 26.234.158.in-addr.arpa, in my example it would be 200.200.200.in-addr.arpa, click tab for the file name to be filled and click Next, then click Finish

10. Add a record for the DNS server, by right clicking on the domain and select %26quot;New Record%26quot;

11. Enter the name of the machine, e.g. BUGSBUNNY (I had a strange upbringing :-) ), and enter and IP address, e.g. 200.200.200.3 and click OK

12. If you click F5 and examine the 200.200.200.in-addr.arpa a record has been added for BUGSBUNNY there as well

Thanks 4 Voting! :) Report It

Other Replys:Exchange Server sounds like it would so what you are looking to do.

You can buy domains from any ICANN registered company including GoDaddy.com but this is not needed for what you are looking to do. If you want to remote into your VPN just use the numerical IP (Internet Protocol) address to login.

Web hosting?

hey i already own a website but i still dont understand it...i created a website with freewebs and bought a domain and registered with it...however i bought the whole package with html editing and such....do i need all this for my simple freewebs site....is there such a thing as just buying a address and redirecting another site to it such as www.dot.tk ? ....also is freewebs the easiest way of hosting pages onto the internet...although i am not intending to pay bandwidth for people visiting...please help

Web hosting?

I would not choose free web hosts as they are not reliable and once I used free host, but all my data lost and they didn%26#039;t have back up and I had to do all over again, very frustrating.

If you look for web hosting, don閳ユ獩 rush into it. Read reviews about web hosting and decide properly before going ahead with web hosting.

I personally will recommend you a web hosting which many people find it very reliable. It is hostmonster.

Before deciding to sign up hostmonster, read the reviews and stats about hostmonster at the following website.

All you really need is to register a domain, Run a server on your computer and host the sites yourself!

email me if you need more help.

Other Replys:I would not suggest you free web hosting as they are usually not very reliable. Just go for paid web hosting and you won閳ユ獩 regret it.

All of the web hosting providers, I will recommend you to go for hostmonster web hosting.

They are simply one of the best web hosting providers and their service is very much reliable and their uptime is also excellent.

FTP problem again?

Okay. So here%26#039;s my specific situation.

I got a domain name from register.com. I got it. I bought it. It%26#039;s active. It%26#039;s working.

For my hosting, I used another company. So I have a domain with one company. I have my hosting with another company.

I got SmartFTP as my FTP client.

I already logged in. I get my domain%26#039;s name showing up on the FTP box. I%26#039;ve looked for my index page, and I%26#039;ve made the transfer into the proper folder on my FTP box.

Why do I still not get my domain working properly? As soon as I type in my domain, I get my domain company%26#039;s website (which I expected). But I would really like to get my website showing up instead.

Is this a problem between my domain being from another hosting company? Is there a step I%26#039;m missing here?

And yes, this is my second website, but I want to do it on my own. I got helped last time.

FTP problem again?

you have to transfer your domain name to the hosting company. ie you have to specify that you want your domain name to be hosted by a particular company. And after you send the request it takes about 24 to 48 hours before you can access your domain name.

FTP problem again?

Did you upload to the correct folder?

Also, did you upload an index.*** page?

Other Replys:You need to make sure that you%26#039;re pointing the domain to the actual website - either by masked forwarding, or by going in and changing your DNS Nameservers to match those of your webhosting company. (There should be some setup options for this from the website you actually BOUGHT the domain from or if you%26#039;ve parked the domain with some other company, THEY should have a setup area to change the DNS)

Hope this helps!

If you%26#039;ve already done this, than make sure you have the index.html (.htm, .php, .cgi or whatever you%26#039;ll be using) page in the root folder on your FTP server.

Other Replys:You have to point your domain Name Servers to your other hosting company.

Find out the what the address%26#039;s for your hosting company%26#039;s name servers e.g ns1.hostingCompany.com, ns2.hostingCompany.com

Then log in to your domain company, under DNS you should be able to enter your Name servers.

Then when they visit your domain, instead of seeing your domain company%26#039;s page, they%26#039;ll be re-directed to your hosting company which houses your site.

Other Replys:Did you set up the domain%26#039;s company DNS to point to your hosting service?

In few words you need to tell to your domain registar where is the correspondent webserver, mailserver, ftp server...

I guess you have to login at register.com and manage the DNS record of your domain.

Other Replys:You might need to set up the ftp program to automatically over write files on the remote server. Type the direct path to one of your other pages, not the home page into your browser to see if it appears.

MAYBE TRY : Open Internet Explorer and visit ftp://your-domain.com (replacing http:// with ftp://)

Put in your username and password provided by your company and take a good look around. You might find a temporary index.html put there by the hosting company as the temporary home page. If you do, that%26#039;s where to put the files.

Using Internet explorer as an ftp client allows you to click and drag the files to your web space also for ease, prompting you normally if you want to over write existing files.

If all else fails, contact the hosting company. If they cant%26#039; answer a small question like that, they%26#039;re not worth paying money to in the future.

Other Replys:Sometimes it can take up to 48 hours for your name servers to propagate.

Registered charities and websites?

Does anyone have any experience of operating a charity website? Years ago I started one, and still operate and update it for the charity. There is however new IT management at the charities head office and I have received a letter saying that the website domain name is registered in my name, and because it is a charity website this is illegal, and that I should immediately transfer it into the name of head office.

I hold the lease the domain name (a .co.uk one) and as the registrant I assume that this implies I own it.

As I can閳ユ獩 find any laws governing this I閳ユ獡 thinking it might be the new head if IT that閳ユ獨 trying to pull a fast one.

Has anyone come across this legislation and if so could someone point me towards it?

Thanks, Charlie

Registered charities and websites?

You do own the name. If they want to buy it off you, that%26#039;s another matter.

Alternatively, they could buy a similar one and yours will become defunct.

A .co.uk isn%26#039;t the usual format for a charity. If your IT person wants to take over the name, you have to agree. He can%26#039;t just make you transfer it.
