Godaddy or 1and1

Which one should I go with? I am going to be creating within iWeb and transferring through FTP.
GoDaddy or 1and1?
Thanks.

id use godaddy cause i have had horrible experiences with 1and1. also, godaddy has better prices and is specialised into webhosting whereas 1and1 offers all sorts of crap!

Please Help: OSX Server at home vs Commercial Dedicated Hosting.

I've been considering a dedicated hosting service like GoDaddy or 1and1. I ultimately want to have an ecommerce site with downloadable products ranging from 1mb to 1gb. Most of these commercial hosting companies charge a lot for little bandwidth, storage, and ram. I would like to know if getting a business Internet service and running snow leopard server would suffice for a young web developer looking to for a better bang for buck. I already have a mac pro. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Depends on if you're looking at shared, reseller, or true dedicated hosting (only user on the server). I would only use dedicated because of the need to have more administrative privileges when running an eCommerce site.
I already had reseller hosting and I was looking at dedicated for running an eCommerce site. You're looking at $135.00 per month starting price for dedicated. That's why I chose the OSX server for myself. I got a static IP, moved all my sites to the OSX server, cancelled my reseller account and I'm saving $15/month. Only 78 more months of savings to payoff the Mac mini server.
There are pros and cons to both.
OSX
PROS: you have full access to anything on the server; you can install any patches, upgrades, accelerators, etc. when ever you want; only monthly fee is the electricity and internet (both of which you're already using).
CONS: takes a while to learn for beginners; possibility to mess something up, security is all on you; backups are all on you; downtime based on your power grid and ISP.
HOST
PROS: they're probably going to do some backups and security checks for you; up-time is 99.9%; faster connection; stronger firewalls; tech support
CONS: the high monthly cost; limited administrator privileges;
I'm sure I have left some information out but you just need to do all your research until you're ready to make a jump. I went back and forth for 6 months before just driving to the Apple store one day and pulling the trigger.

Can not open, view inbox in godaddy web mail

I have been using godaddy webmail for awhile - one day I tried to view my emails and I could not. I can't open them or reply to them or even highlight "inbox". I have avg - they disabled the firewall and viris protection but the problem prosisted. I called godaddy, the ran a check of their system and said it's working properly and it was a problem with my browser. I am able to compose and send emails if I type in a address.

That worked fine in Firefox after Comcast instituted that Xfinity interface last spring, then they fixed something else and broke that for some Firefox users. Connect Lite still works fine.
Using IE, once you're in the full email page open Preferences -> General in the Xfinity menu header and select Xfinity Connect Lite. Then try it in Firefox.
Or, click on the first new email on the preview page, and when you're done with it click on the Inbox link in the Nav Menu in the left column to get your complete Inbox.

Can't "open" an attachment from godaddy webmail in firefox, only allows download/save option. works fine IE so it is a browser issue not a GoDaddy issue

There are two options on the godaddy webmail when you receive an attachment, open in one link and download in a second link. both links are attempting to download and save, i have contacted godaddy with no success or explanation, they had try to use IE and webmail functioned properly allowing to simply open and view and attachment without having to save it?

Finally figured it out...go to Tools, Options, Applications...and change pdf reader from Adobe to Foxit and it will resume providing option of either opening or saving pdf files.

Any new suggestions on how to send emails with godaddy account on iphone?

Godaddy email is my only email account that I cannot send emails from on my iphone. Have called everyone and read everything many times about what seems to be a common issue but verizon, godaddy and apple all have same answers, no answers or act surprised.
Tried every combination and suggestion like everyone else to no avail.
Godaddy immediately refers you to their app which works ok but it's another step and separate. Seems like they're blocking outbound to get people to use their app which is cluttered with their other usual money spending choices.
Otherwise I can't believe they're not aware of this and have no fix.
If anyone has suggestion that hasn't been mentioned 100 times online please let me know.
Thanks,
Frustrated

You don't have to pass the file name in the exec() in the script. Only the directory path for vbs execution in the VB Script. What you can do is check for the presence of the filename in the required directory using file_exists() function.
Create three Global Variable ($GV_FILENAME, $GV_PATH, $GV_FILE) and pass the file name and path to these variables.
$GV_PATH = 'C:\Temp';
$GV_FILENAME = '37957.pdf';
$GV_FILE ='"||$GV_PATH||'\\'||$GV_FILENAME||"';
Then write a ifelse condition in the script like below -
if(file_exists($GV_FILE) !=0)
Begin
exec('cscript','c:\\mymailscript\\MailDispatch.vbs,0);
print('file found executing vbscript');
else
raise_exception ('file not found');
end
Hope this helps.

1and1 webmail set up with iOS 8

My company uses 1and1 webmail for our email. I upgraded to and iphone 6 and iOS 8. Now I cannot send email from my phone. I contacted 1and1 and they said it's an Apple issue. Wouldn't it make sense that 1and1 hasn't upgraded something? Their last instructions are for iOS 5.1. Any suggestions because I need to be able to send work emails from my phone.

Double check in your outgoing mailer server and make sure there is a password, same as your incoming mail server.

Godaddy email send problem

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but my godaddy email account cannot send emails from my iPad. I set it up the same way as my iphone and it think it worked initially but now, I've tried so many different variations of smtpout.secureserver.net. I called Godaddy's helpdesk and they told me to turn off SSL and use ports 80 or 25 or 3535. None of which has worked for me. Please help!

Update: Problem solved.
I'm not a techie by any means but I finally figured out the answer that somehow no one has posted before. I initially tried to setup my godaddy email on my ipad like the way it's setup on my iphone. I could receive emails but could not send. Because I have AT&T as my iphone provider, I have cwmx.com as my alternative outgoing mail server. That won't work with my ipad because emails from my ipad doesn't go through AT&T wireless. My home internet provider is Comcast. As an alternative SMPT server, I used Comcast's SMTP server: smtp.comcast.net. No user name, no password, SSL on, authentication password, server port 25.
I found my ISP provider SMTP server info on this page: http://www.host45.com/resources/ispsmtps.php
I think Apple can help future ipad users to better understand how email flows out of their devices and it really depends on your wifi/internet provider too.

Cannot send mail from iPhone using Godaddy account/email

Was working perfectly until recently. Incoming mail still ok.
Now get error message when sending mail "Cannot Send Mail - The connection to the outgoing server "smtpout.secureserver.net" failed.
Have tried various fixes including using cwmx.com server, other ports and SSL on and off but no luck.
Have spoken to Godaddy support but they can't help as say must be local issue with iPhone.
Is GoDaddyGuy out there?

SizzyB and Joe,
I've read over your posts and see that you've both tried a few different troubleshooting steps with our support. The next step would be removing the whole email address from your iPhone and setting it back up. When you set up the email address, you should use the step by step walk through instructions available at http://help.godaddy.com/article/3423.
SizzyB, please note that cwmx.com is an AT&T specific server. Your UK provider might list a comparable SMTP server as a default or you might need to contact them to get their settings.
Joe, I would also like to note that you would specifically need to have our Unlimited email plan to utilize the IMAP service feature.
If either of you have further issues, please post the full details (including any errors messages you receive) and we'll continue to work on a solution.

GoDaddy IMAP automatically deleting/disappearing emails from Inbox, solved!

We're running a unibody Macbook 13" with Mac OS X 10.5.8, all patches, and Apple Mail 3.6.
When we moved from Earthlink POP to GoDaddy IMAP, we almost immediately started losing emails from the Inbox. They would literally disappear before our eyes.
We checked online, found others with the same problem, and no actual fixes (some workarounds, such as switching to GoDaddy Exchange email).
I called GoDaddy for help today. Aside from the usual run-down: Are you sure it isn't configured as POP? Did you check that any other devices aren't getting the emails as POP?, we finally got a new solution I hadn't heard before:
Turn off Auto Purging.
If you log into GoDaddy Webmail, right-click on the Inbox, and click Auto-Purging, a little setting pane comes up.
If Auto Purging is already turned off, turn it off again anyway, and make sure the little pop-up confirming the setting has been saved comes up in the bottom right corner.
This seems to have fixed the problem. We've gone for about an hour now without the emails disappearing.
What's more, I got lucky and found that the emails had been thrown into the Trash by the Auto Purge feature, so I could retrieve them (some of them disappeared before Time Machine could back them up).
One important possibility: I discovered that I had mapped the Trash folder to Deleted Messages and not to GoDaddy's Trash folder. So I set this to point to GoDaddy's Trash thinking that this might help. It MIGHT have been what fixed the problem, but it's not likely.
A few other notes to help you guys:
1) We weren't losing emails from any IMAP folder except the Inbox.
2) I tried setting the IMAP folder path to / but that broke the subfolders.
3) After turning off the Auto-Purge and dragging the deleted emails back into the Inbox from the Trash (using Apple Mail to do so), there were duplicates of these emails in the GoDaddy Webmail Inbox that did not show in the Apple Mail Inbox.
4) Using other mail clients like Thunderbird didn't help. The iPad and iPhone would eventually lose the emails too as everything sync'd up with the server.
Hope that helps somebody!

I've had the same problem... As with MOST of the e-mail problems with the PRE the best solution is to delete the account and reload it... I've had to delete and add my account twice!!!
PALM better fix the e-mail functions or a lot of people (my self included) will get real fed up deleting and adding the account every two weeks...
PALM - ARE YOU ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS???

HT3311 Problem submitting podcast (hosted on GoDaddy) to i Tunes Store - host parameter null

Why do I get following reply from iTunes Store when I attempt to publish my podcast:
"We had difficulty reading this feed. Host parameter is null." ?
This is my podcast website:
http://www.einarpetterson.org/Ars_et_Medicina/Podcast/Podcast.html
I have validated the following feed with Feed Validator. It is ok. (there are some minor suggestions for changes which should not be criical)
http://www.einarpetterson.org/Ars_et_Medicina/Podcast/rss.xml
When I write this feed URL in the box for suscribing to podcasts in ITunes (Advanced/Suscribe to podcast menues), iTunes finds my podcasts and downloads them successfully (and fast). All the podcasts downloaded that way work fine.
So, if the rss reed is validated, and works in iTunes, why am I not able to publish my podcasts in iTunes Store?
My hosting service is GoDaddy.com.   I see from other articles on this support forum (Apple) and on GoDaddy´s support forum, that other people have had the same problem.   Sometimes their problem apparently just disappeared (and iTunes Store finally just stopped writing "We had difficulty reading this feed. Host parameter is null" everytime they tried to submit their podcasts to iTunes. I have now tried submitting this and other podcasts (hosted on GoDaddy) many, many times for several days, but always get the same irritating negative message.
Does anyone out there understand what the problem could be?   As far as I can see from reading other descriptions of this same problem, no one has yet provided an adequate explanation of what is causing this "glitch" (as some call it).
I want to publish several podcast series on iTunes Store which are now hosted on GoDaddy.com.   Many other MobileMe users like me, will in the next 30 days have to move their websites from MobileMe to other hosting services.   GoDaddy.com is a large hosting service.   This problem might appear often during the next month. I therefore believe that Apple and GoDaddy should attempt to find out why this problem occurs, and do something about it.   It seems from other descriptions of this problem, that it often occurs with people using GoDaddy hosting service. Have not read or analyzed all descriptions of this problem on the net, but there are enough descriptions to support a hypothesis that there is some communication difficulty between iTunes Store and GoDaddy hosting service. (? - at least some others have made this hypothesis, like I do)

TEST OF SUBMISSION OF 16 RSS FEEDS TO ITUNES STORE "SUBMIT PODCAST" PAGE
I have now tested all my podcast rss feeds which are now stored on GoDaddycom hosting service in three ways:
1) Feed validator
2) iTunes (Menu: Advanced/suscribe to podcast)
3) iTunes Store "Submit Podcast Page"
Results:
All 16 rss feeds are valid according to Feed Validator. There are some small insignifcant suggestions for improvements which are not critical.
All 16 rss feeds function in iTunes (Advanced/suscribe to podcasts)
None of the 16 rss feeds can be successfully submitted to iTunes Store "submit podcast" page. The same error occurs in all cases:
"We had difficulty reading this feed. host parameter is null"
The following 5 of these 16 podcasts were submitted while the websites were hosted by MobileMe. No problems with submission. All accepted and now on iTunes. These podcast sites are now transferred to GoDaddy.com (with same domain as earlier - einarpetterson.org - and all function. I can change pages, make alterations etc.
Here are the 5 rss feeds.
http://www.einarpetterson.org/New_Perspectives_on_Baroque_Art_and_Culture/Podcas ts/rss.xml
http://www.einarpetterson.org/Utopia/Podcast/rss.xml

http://www.einarpetterson.org/Dystopia/Podcast/rss.xml
http://www.einarpetterson.org/Ekskursjonsemner/Podcast/rss.xml
The following 11 podcasts now hosted on GoDaddy webhosting service can not be submitted successfully to iTunes Store despite the fact that their rss feeds are validated by Feed Validator and work on iTunes (and probably on most other rss readers)

http://www.einarpetterson.org/Ars_et_Medicina/Video_Podcast/rss.xml
http://www.einarpetterson.org/Ars_et_Medicina/Podcast/rss.xml
THIS PROBABLY MEANS THAT IT IS EITHER VERY DIFFICULT, OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE WHO IS USING GODADDY.COM AS A WEBHOSTING SERVICE (WITHOUT USING THEIR VIRTUAL OR DEDICATED SERVER OPTIONS WHICH ARE VERY EXPENSIVE) TO PUBLISH ANY PODCASTS ON ITUNES STORE.
I may have made some error in my submission to ITunes Store, but do not think so. If anyone discovers that I have made a simple and stupid error, please tell me. If I have not made an error, one should probably not use GoDaddy.com as a webhosting service if one ever wants to publish podcasts to iTunes Store.
It would be interesting to hear if anyone in this forum who is using GoDaddy.com webhosting service has recently (or ever) managed to succesfully submit a rss feed to iTunes Store submit page. If so, I would like to hear about it.

Media Query does not work from GoDaddy redirect?

Website is set up and all looks good, except when the page is loaded from the redirect host name setup in Godaddy, the mobile media queries don't work. I'm not sure why?? The page loads ok, but will not apply the phone.css on a mobile device. However, if I use the local host url all works great. Thank you if you have any recommendations!

Thank you again for taking time to look at this. I failed to mention I had adjusted the media query to 360px. Although, both urls above call up the same web page it seems the first url is wrapping the source into a frame.

Muse form is not working on godaddy and no error message indicating a php error is occuring. Could something else be wrong? Do I have to manually set the form once loaded to go daddy to direct through their mail form system?

I have read in multiple places on the forum that muse forms are now supported on third party platforms. however I am having a very difficult time getting mine to work on Godaddy. They seem to no longer have the "form mailer" option and told me to look at this PHP: mail - Manual to make the forms work. Muse is not giving any error messages indicating that there is a problem on the go daddy end, the form appears to function but no message is received at email address. can anyone help troubleshoot this for me.
Thanks.

Hey Sanjit & Brad,
Thanks for getting back to me. So, I tried changing the address as Sanjit suggested, and yes an error message came up. But then I tested Brad's theory and looks like the form works with another email address other than that of the actual website email:( So I guess based on Brad's link I should reroute the form to the other (non-godaddy) email...or contact go-daddy to see if they can correct this? Would that be the final answer?
Thanks again!

Follow up to .JSP page will not display on GoDaddy Linux hosting

I think my last post got locked but I wanted to explain my reasoning (I am not trying to abuse a forum). I think forums are filled with wonderful people who may have dealt with similar issues. This is my first Java hosted project so I was just hoping someone had some insight.
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10571512#10571512
I am not trying to use this as a GoDaddy support forum. I have tried calling GoDaddy multiple times and they do not know why it does not work. There response is… “we do not provide support for scripting”. Please, correct me if I am wrong here, but the JSP file I am trying to display does not contain any scripting. Is that a true statement?
To give an update…
I logged in this morning and now, the JSP page displays. I was aware that GoDaddy redeploy’s Tomcat every night at around 1:00 am Arizona time, but I am not sure why this corrected the issue.
When I was testing locally, I could place any new JSP files in Tomcat and view it without having to do a redeploy. Why does this work differently on GoDaddy? I am assuming it has something to do with the shared hosting but I am not sure what. Does any one have any insight on this?

Stop creating OT threads in this forum. Your question isn't related to Java programming at all. Ask the GoDaddy support.
I'm locking this thread, and your account might get blocked if you continue to create new threads with questions that aren't related to Java.

When I select a "compose email" from my GoDaddy email page, it opens up another whole Foxfire window. I can't seem to have it open into another tab instead.

When I select a "compose email" from my GoDaddy email web page, it opens up another whole new Foxfire window. I can't seem to have it open into the existing Foxfire window but just another tab instead.

Firefox diverts most new windows to tabs, but there is an exception when a website uses a script to specify the window's dimensions or removes some toolbars. To remove the exception, you can make a change under the covers. This could be awkward for genuine dialog windows that don't make sense to view in a separate tab, but if you find it more annoying than useful, you can easily switch back.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(3) Confirm that the '''browser.link.open_newwindow''' preference is set to its default value of 3 (divert new windows to a tab instead), or right-click > Reset to get that value
(4) Double-click the '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' preference and change the value from 2 to 0 (that's a zero) and click OK
Any luck?
For future reference, the possible values for the window/tab preferences are:
(A) browser.link.open_newwindow
3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked*)
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)
1 = force new window into same tab
* First checkbox in Options > Tabs
(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction - for links in Firefox tabs
0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows)
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default)
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default)
3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
2 = open external links in a new window
1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page

Using godaddy to host my iweb (2.0.4) website

After talking to godaddy, they convinced me that I should have my site hosted by them, Sounded good. They said iweb would work fine. Well, it does not work. I upload the files I created in iweb three times. The first page shows up fine, but the links to the other pages do not work at all. I spent a long time on the phone with them last night and they tell me it must be a problem with iweb and to contact apple. I know what apple is going to say. Can anyone help me with this?
the site is www.thelba.org
thanks,
Joe

Thanks all for your help! I have corrected the problem. Regarding the hard to read area, that has to be removed all together. I went round and round with godaddy, who are usually very helpful, but because they are using windows machines, and th page was working on IE windows, they could not see the problem!
