Problem with external domain name and hosting

Hi I have my own domain name and hosting plan I want to use. However, I have trouble pointing my site from BC to my server.
I found the following information but in my case "create A-Records" is not available on the "Site Domains". Please advise.
Thanks.

Point externally hosted domains to your Business Catalyst site
If you have chosen to use external DNS service for your domain name, create A-Records for both the www and non-www versions of your domain name. Then, point them to your site, which resides on one of the following IP addresses:

Can you please confirm that there is no “Create A records” option under “More Actions” ?

Domain name and hosting provider

Can anyone recommend a good domain name and hosting provider (preferably based in Australia if possible) that I can use to set up my customers' websites? I'm with Domain Central and ready to hang myself. I've been with them for 3 years and decided to stay because it was just too hard to leave, but if I could find something better I'd be out of there. The interface is the most confusing, erronious, complex, slow, antiquated and difficult piece of software I've ever known and the help documentation in way relates to what is actually there.
I have a reseller account with them, which means I buy the domain name and hosting space at about half the price that it would normally be, make a small profit on it, and still pass on a good rate to my customers. Domain Central is cheap, but after this latest fiasco, I've wasted so much time on Help desk it's not worth it. I want a provider that has an easy to use, straightforward website, so I can sign up for some sort of reseller account, buy the domain name and hosting at a discounted rate, do the name servers and all that stuff myself and even set up email accounts without too much grief and suffering.
Any advice would be so appreciated. What do other web designers do? I've come to the point of having a hollow feeling of dread when I log in to Domain Central : (

I'd recommend heading over to www.webhostingtalk.com . You'll get a better and faster response. But you will need to be more specific for them with your needs. The registrar part is simple, but the hosting you should add in what type of plan you think you are looking for (reseller, VPS, dedicated), how much space/bandwidth you require, environment (Unix vs Windows), database/scripting information, etc., etc.

Design a site, use my domain name, and host it via .mac

It sounds simple, and I thought a search through these forums would yield some easy answers, but no luck, so here goes:
I'm an advanced Photoshop and Final Cut Studio user, running an audio/video/image restoration and transfer business, but I'm a total beginner in the iWeb/.Mac area.
About three years ago, I decided it was time for a web site, so I went to a local company; they designed and still host my site, for which I pay them $30.00 per month; it's a simple site with no ecommerce, and six or seven pages. There is a contact form through which potential customers can email me.
I also have a domain name, for which I pay $15.00 per year to the same company.
My site is OK, but it's the same as it was three years ago; any small changes I have asked the company to make (mostly just text additions/changes) they have done at the rate of $75.00 per hour.
What I want to do is cancel my account with them, design a totally new site using iWeb, start a .mac account, and have the site hosted using my domain name, so that the average customer who sees my newspaper ad can navigate to my new site exactly as they can with the current one. (I only have one email account, through my ISP, which I don't want to change.)
I've got lots of questions, but mostly, what else do I have to do to make this switch besides cancelling my account with my current company? (After an overlap period, of course) What happens with my domain name--who will I pay to keep it? And finally, what simple things am I not thinking of?
Many thanks in advance to anyone with enough patience to read through this, and still find time to provide some assistance.

You can design your site in iWeb and upload it to either .Mac or a commercial server.
You would then provide the domain name registrar with your server ID number or, in the case of .Mac, your .Mac URL and instruct them to point your domain name in that direction.
.Mac is neither intended for, nor the best option, for a business site.
For example the company I host with - Host Excellence - allows you a free domain name registration and up to 6 sites with unlimited web mail and more server space than you are likely to need for about the cost of a .Mac account.
Commercial servers are a lot more reliable than .Mac, have wider bandwidth and usually have good tech support.
You only have to look at the number of problems in this forum concerning .Mac to see that tech support is not readily available from Apple.
I'm not putting down .Mac. I use it myself for various purposes and it is good for its intended use of one clicking publishing of personal websites.

Changing domain name and host name?????????//

Hai,
how to chane the domain name and hostname for LINUX ES 4.0 server.
is any impact On EBS 11.5.10.2 . if i change??

This is the command that I run at command prompt:
perl D:\oracle\VIS\db\tech_st\10.2.0\appsutil\bin\adgentns.pl appspass=secret \contextfile=conf_VIS.txt -removeserver
It returns:
'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Did you source the env file first?I apologize, what does this mean? I am running EBS12 on a WINXP environment, but this was the closest forum post I could find related to the topic.
From Article:
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:1947016216372695354::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,338003.1,1,1,0,helvetica
If you already changed the information of your existing AutoConfig Context file and
have not done the above step, then you can manually update the Net Services
Topology Model using the following syntax :
Locate the System Name :
The System name is the database name
Verify with sql query :
select DB_NAME from FND_DATABASES;I logged into the vision DB (VIS) as the system user id, via SQLPLUS, ran the query and it returned a table or view "FND_DATABASES" does not exists.
I changed the computer name, and changed the domain name (primary dns suffix).
I was successful using the Context Editor to edit both the DB and App context files, and ran AutoConfig for both the DB and Application (exists on the same machine).
I hope this provides more clarity....
Thanks

Problem with NFSv4 Domain name

Hi,
I am creating zones for the first time.
I am having problem with the NFSv4 domain name prompt.
I followed the instructions described in
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/faq/#cfg_sysidcfg
After the installation of the zone, on zonepath/root/etc, I created a sysidcfg file and did
touch *.*NFS4inst_state.domain
Booted the zone and logged in to the zone console.
The sysidcfg worked as expected but the NFSv4 prompt didn't go away:
─ NFSv4 Domain Name ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
NFS version 4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from the
system's naming services. The derived domain name is sufficient for most
configurations. In a few cases, mounts that cross domain boundaries might
cause files to appear to be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common
domain name.
The current NFSv4 default domain is: "xx.xx.xx"

Problem with OAS Instance Name y Host Name to create trial ssl certificate

Hi, everyone
I have a problem when creating a trial ssl certificate from Verisign page, affer a live assistance, that page rejected my CSR generated from OAS, saying thay my common name has invalid characters.
My Oracle Application Server installation name: Instance.HostName is:
IAS_IND01.ind-internet
So, Verisign told me this name can't contain "_" or "-" characters for example.
I need to know if it's possible to change the instance name and if OAS host name changes also if i change server's host name.
I wouldn't like to reinstall all over again.
Please help.
Regards
David

Hi,
No your AS server will not automatic. even if you change your host name.
If U 'll try to change your host name, be carefull when U 'll try to start you AS instacne
it ' not start anymore , AS user hosts fill to get full quallified name of your host.
U 've two choices
-1 delete your AS, then change your hosts name, then new installtion of AS
2- If U 've exprience with AS, just breng your AS down, change your hosts name,
U 'll need to do some changes in your AS, just read admininstrator Guide.

Multipul iweb sites problem with own domain name

hello all
i have currently 2 iweb sites (my own personal one with my own personal domain) and another site which has a podcast for my self and flat mates
the problem comes in this.
if i want to subscribe the podcast to itunes it trys to send it as www.garethmob.co.uk/flat6_band ect where the actuall band website does not sit on my own personal website
is there any way i can fix this by having the origional web.me.com/garethmob ect for one of the websites and the garethmob.co.uk for the other?
both are on my mobile me account
thanks for any help in advance
Gareth

If you have more than on site on your iDisk and go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites, you will see that you have two website folders but only one index.html file.
If the domain name www.garethmob.co.uk (Site 1) is directed at that index.html file then that's the one that must exist in the Web/Sites folder.
When you upload another site (Site 2), its index.html file overwrites the existing one and the URL is then directed to the wrong site.
When you upload changes to the site with the MobileMe URL (Site 2), you must then upload a copy of the index.html file for the other site (Site 1) after doing this.
You can do this by publishing your Site 1 to a local folder and then put the index.html file inside a folder and trash the rest.
After you have uploaded changes to Site 2, go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and upload a copy of the index.html file for Site 1 by drag and drop.

Problems with invalid user name and password

We have a one week old MacBook 2.2GHz basic white model that is generally working well.
However a problem has now arisen whereby on any attempt to shutdown or restart it won't accept the administrator user name and password, returning an 'invalid' warning. The issue seems to be the user name as the administrator password has worked OK in other situations. Naturally I have checked and re-checked the user name (which was in the form (first name followed by surname in upper and lower case) and it was OK (in any case it was being prompted automatically by the system.)
I have subsequently changed the administrator name (to the form first name only in upper and lower) and the password as suggested by the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876
Nothing has changed. Can anyone help?

HI Martin, a late post to confirm the solution from the last post by using the "RETURN" key works..
(mouse click worked ok in Tiger 10.4.x I thought).
Tis was a delight and so obvious after seeing these symptoms.
I have posted this entry in case anyone else get's into this situation since OSX LEopard 10.5. Several people have encountered this issue where they may have:
• LEopard 10.5.x installed
• have 2 or more active users LOGGED into the OSX system via fast user / fastuser switching
• request a SHUTDOWN or RESTART from an user
• get a OSX request to supply administrator attributed user and it's associated password to validate SHUTDOWN | RESTART request,
• have admin | root account verification failure of password after 'clicking'.
After some months of frustration, it seems a simple PRESS of the "RETURN key" works!
Simply, DON'T mouse click after entering admin user/password.... instead press "RETURN" key.
fwiw.

I am trying to re-set up my email account on my ipad (1st generation) but am having problems. The mail server is a private one associated with my domain name and it has worked before on this ipad and is currently working on a Nexus 7 tablet.

The setup on the Nexus tablet asks for port numbers for both incoming and outgoing mail, but the email setup on the ipad does not ask for port numbers. Am I supposed to be inputting the port numbers by inserting them after a colon followed by the port numbers in both the incoming and outgoing mail server fields or is there something else I am doing wrong?

Problem with network connection names and cluster

Hi,
Before talking about my problem, I want to apologize if this is not the correct forum, but it is the more adecuated that I have found. Is about a problem in Windows 2000, which I know it is out of support, but in my company I still have to administer several
hundreds of them.
I have several Windows 2000 failover clusters, and all of them show the same problem, which consists of the following:
Each cluster has two nodes. Each node has 5 network adapters. Each adapter hosts a connection name: Lan-1 is the name of the network associated to adapter 1, Lan-2 to adapter 2, and so on till Lan-5 to adapter 5.
Lan-5 is used as heartbeat for the cluster: is connected to the Lan-5 in the other node via a cross-over UTP cable.
Lan-1 and Lan-2 in each node, forms a network team named TEAM, used to access to the nodes for administration via remote desktop.
Last, each node has Lan-3 and Lan-4. Lan-3 is used for the cluster resources, and Lan-4 as a backup, just in case Lan-3 fails.
And now, the strange and surprising thing: if I change the name of Lan-4, or change any configuration of the connection, the name changes to Lan-4(2). If I make any other change, the name changes again to Lan-4(2)(2). I can't get rid of the numbers between
parentesis, and the number of them grows and grows.
Any idea about what is happening?

Hi,
As you mentioned, the Windows 2000 has already stop supported, personal experience is you can try to use the cmdlet ipconfig /all to show if the network adapter name is right
or not, or you can try to remove the lan3 adapter register information (backup first) and driver then restart to monitor the status

Need help with Domain Registration and Hosting

Hi Folks,
I have a few questions which I hope some of you may be able to help me with.
1) I would like to register a domain name, which registrars might some of you suggest, as a mac user? Nice interface, easy to use, not pushy sign up process, etc.
2) I would also like to sign up for hosting with my new domain name, so that I can have an FTP site, CalDav support, IMAP e-mail with my domain name, and a very nice webmail app. I have been looking around and found a lot, but none that are nice to use, they all look like windows 95ish, etc.
I will be hosting the actual website on my .mac space, but running the FTP through the hosting site, and would like to run the IMAP e-mail via the host as well. That's about it, I'm sure some more questions will follow soon, but I do want to register my domain ASAP, but at the same time find a host, because I know sometimes the registration is free when you sign up with a host, so would prefer not to spend double for something, sort of.
Thanks for all you help!

Check out GoDaddy. There cheap and offer the services you want. http://GoDaddy.com there website probably isn't the easiest to use, but their prices sorta compromise for it. If your looking for a more upscale provider then check out http://www.machost.com/ and http://macosxhosting.com/

Can leopard server setup mail to work in a closed LAN environment with no domain name?

I just need to get emails from tape libraries, xserve RAID etc. Can't quite figure out the Domain Name and Host Name settings in Server admin.

I haven't done extensive testing of Yahoo, but every test I tried worked.
When forwarding mail you do have to make sure that the original mailbox actually exists though. To prevent spam, Yahoo actually checks the from addresses to make sure they really exist.
Some people just set a "forwarder" from a non-existent email address in their domain (that is possible with Hostgator for example). Yahoo will not let those be received. There has to be an actual existing original mailbox.

Using Mac Mini server, DNS, static IP, and external domain name

Greetings!
I need to know the direction to take in order to use my domain name for the great features offered in the mac mini server, while having local and public access to my server with security.
I am trying to do the following on my new mac mini server:
-Set up DNS (myserver.private)
I have a static IP I want to use for all this with my ISP
-ftp access
-ichat ([email protected])
-email ([email protected])
-ical etc. ([email protected])
-my work website(mydomain.com) with public access!
-host websites(other domains)
I need to know the direction to take in order to use my domain name for these features. I have a domain name with godaddy, and I am happy with keeping it with them, however, how to I make my external domain name work on my private server with public access is the question?
Thank you,
Daniel G

[Read this|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] as a start; you're basically going to decide if you want to use NAT or not; if you have enough public static IP addresses to avoid the disaster that's NAT. If you want to use NAT (and few reasonable folks want to, but sometimes we have to), then you get to run your own DNS services internally, and establish public DNS and power-forwarding at a (preferably server-grade) firewall. With NAT, you end up with split DNS, and that's covered in the cited document.
ps: it's easier to [use sftp|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/942]; while that shares three letters with ftp, it avoids most of the problems of ftp.

Connecting to Wireless Network with domain name and proxy servers?

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to the wireless network at my college, however it's not as straight forward as usual... The network is hidden, although I know to 'Join other network' and type in the SSID of the network and then set the authentication method to WPA-Enterprise. However, this is where I run into a problem..
To connect, I need to 'configure encryption as AES', which I'm not sure how to do on OS X. Furthermore, after signing in with my college ID I am required to 'Use the domain name [domain name]' and 'configure your browser to use the college proxy servers [example.example.net] on port [123]
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it's important that I log on to the network for work etc.
Thanks very much for your time.

The encryption should be configured automatically. To use the proxy:
1. Open System Preferences
2. Click on Network
3. Select Airport from the list on the left
4. Click on Advanced, near the bottom right
5. One of the tabs will be called Proxy. Configure your settings there.
