Renewing Yearly Account

dotNetDude — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:17:43 GMT

Greetings,

I currently have HE-50 hosting plan. My current billing period expires 8/3/2008.

I would like to change to HE-25 hosting plan for the upcoming year.

How can I go about making this change?

Thanks Much!

IIS "custom errors" tab

clocKwize — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:51:12 GMT

Hi there, I have recently purchased an account from you, I was wondering if it is possible for me to set up the custom error pages in IIS (not ASP.NET)

this allows me to use truly friendly urls (asp.net can only rewrite urls etc for pages that have the .aspx extension)

basically i'd set up a 404 page for /default.aspx - then when somebody goes to /news/2008/05/21/ it'll get called and parse the url, call the correct content up.

Can't seem to find a way to do this.

Kindest regards

Mike

vBulletin

Matt — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 14:50:47 GMT

Does re-invent hosting support vBulletin (PHP and mySQL forum software)?

I see that mySQL is supported, but looks like PHP maybe is not. I'm a dot net guy, but I haven't found any .net forum software that has excellent SEO capabilities (such as descriptive URLs). I'd like to use BlogEngine.net for my blog and vBulletin for my forum.

Is this possible on re-invent?

Thanks,
Matt

dotNetDude — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 17:25:32 GMT

Greetings and Salutations,

Does RI do dedicated server hosting for ASP.Net 2.0 with Dot Net Framework 2.0? If so, where can I get details of the service?

Many Thanks

Promotion Question

lee5i3 — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 19:29:12 GMT

I am browsing for a host, question I have is.. if I pay 3 months of service and decide to go annual after the 3 months end, will I still be eligible for the free 9 months or is this only for new customers?

Downtime on Calendar or in Forum

Trailblazer — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 04:22:19 GMT

Hi,
I recently signed up for your service and was frustrated by downtime on the support ticket system twice over the weekend. I did not know that I could email support directly so I just waited for hours until the ticket system was back up. It would be really helpful for you guys to post downtime on the calendar or in the forum announcements area so that I could know what's up.

I've been pleased with the quick responses to my support needs and with your service in general. You offer an excellent value which is unmatched in my opinion.

Any chance you are going to expand your customer control panel to offer more self-service admin tasks?

Thanks!

Support for other technologies?

John Brown — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 15:10:50 GMT

Is PHP supported on re-invent hosts?

A few questions...

markheath — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 07:04:04 GMT

1) Can I upload and test my website before pointing my domain at it?

2) Is the free SQL 2005 just for the first year / 21 months, and if so, what will it cost after the promotional period has ended?

thanks

Mark

Outbound traffic?

gap — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 14:47:38 GMT

I'm considering signing up for .NET hosting. My app initiates outbound comm sessions to package carriers (ups.com, fedex.com, dhl.com) to track shipments. Destination ports are 80 and 443.

Does Re-Invent allow this? Is a proxy required?

Thanks.

sdfox — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 22:31:00 GMT

time zone

jotter — Sun, 07 Jan 2007 23:39:00 GMT

Hi people
I am considering my first hosting account adventure, to run DNN. I am in New Zealand. Will the time zone difference make a difference to the support I get?

DNS changes

pmaugust — Sun, 24 Dec 2006 23:39:00 GMT

We are looking at re-hosting our website. Do you provide user modifiable DNS services? We would only be hosting web at this time, and would need to maintain our exisiting MX and A records pointing to other services. Adding DNS entries with our current provider is a pain at best. GoDaddy has a very nice DNS user domain interface. How do you handle MX, A, etc records when using your DNS servers?

More emails for our domain

Steven — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 16:40:00 GMT

I would like to add 10 more email addresses to the 10 that I have now. The sight that you are hosting for us is stewartboyer.com. Can you help?

Adding Databases?

lilmule — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 18:59:00 GMT

I have two SQL Express 2005 databases with my website. One for product information and one called ASPNETDB that handles the login and user accounts. I would need to attach both to the website for proper function as you can imagine. What, if any, is the cost of adding or attaching additional databases?

Totemic — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 10:14:00 GMT

Hi,

I bought the webspace three days ago, and require domain transfer service. Still my domain seems doesn't to be transfered. I wondering when will you complete the process. BTW, I uploaded my company website to the webspace which built upon ASP + ACCESS technique, but seems it doesn't work in this space, the database cannot be loaded in the ASP page. Is it the problem of domain transfer? Looking forward your reply.

Regards,

Totemic Trading Ltd

Unique IP Address Question

joffies — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 14:35:00 GMT

Good Day.

I am in the process of putting a Dotnetnuke site together.

I am looking at hosting packages and I am very interested in your HE-25 package.

I see you charge $15.00 for pointing additional domains to an existing website.

If i take a unique IP address with the HE-25 package surely the there is no need for you do to do any pointing ?

If i have the unique IP then i should be able to just change the DNS settings for my other domains to point to this unique IP?

Many thanks

John

hosting price

goodway — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 05:29:00 GMT

I need to host on your server a Dotnetnuke website,

what is your fees (it is built with SQL 2000).

Can you host multiple domains on the same account

tmac — Mon, 22 Aug 2005 02:06:00 GMT

Hello,

*I am currently looking to move my business site to another server. I currently have about 3 or 4 domains parked at the same account. Because they are all my business (but just ened to be seperated because they deal with different aspects of my business. The domains are pointed in the one direction. And I simple use ASP to point them into the right folder depending on the dmain used. Can I park multiple domains on one account and how much if any do you charge for it.

*I currently have several clients which if I am happy with your service will be bringing over to your server as well. Do you have partner status or any other type of status for designers who bring in the occasional client?

*Also do you have facility when moving a domain to move it all and test it thoroughly before finalizing the move. As my clients will need a seemless move. Their sites contain many images and database connection as well as secure ordering systems.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Server side includes supprted?

Bob Heitzman — Fri, 19 Nov 2004 11:37:00 GMT

Do you support HTML like this:

{title}..page title..{/title}
{!--#include virtual="/includes/meta.txt" --}
{!--#include virtual="/includes/chooseStyles.js" --}
{!--#include virtual="/includes/topbar.js" --}
{link rel="stylesheet" href="/includes/colors.css" type="text/css"}
{/head}

Replacing the curly brackets with the angle brackets of course.

Or something similar?

User Identification

PThomp61 — Sun, 12 Mar 2006 12:07:00 GMT

I'm not clear on where/how to user user identities for my web app. Do I roll my own SQL db for this or use Active Directory or OpenLDAP? What do you support for this? I want single sign-on for all my apps that I will potentially host w/ you. However, I just need simple LDAP features which makes something like Active Directory way overkill. Ideas?

Thanks in advance!
-Peter

I would like to run a .net shopping cart by http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com.

Gordon — Wed, 07 Sep 2005 03:39:00 GMT

I am interested in a windows shared hosting HE-50 pack.

I would like to run a .net shopping cart by http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com.

Could you let me know if its possible to run this system on your servers.

I think most of the Systems requirements are

Windows NT Server 2000 or 2003, or Windows XP Professional. It can run on Windows XP Home, but that is not recommended, and not supported.

Microsoft .net framework 1.1 ( free from Microsoft, if not using hosting company server). Asp.net 2.0 will be supported shortly.

Databases Supported: Microsoft SQL Server 7, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Microsoft MSDE (free SQL Server), Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express (new version of free SQL Server)

If u need more details please let me know or please visit this site http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com/t-features.aspx

Thanks for your time .. looking forward to hear from you

Have a question on Share Point

PCaltair — Thu, 27 Jan 2005 16:35:00 GMT

Hi,

I have a client who is keen on Share Point hosting. I see that you host Share Point

free under HE-200.Am I right in assuming that this is a 10 user plan ? Can this Share point

site be secure with authentication enabled on WSS alone ? Can I have an access database

with the front end web ?

Thanks for your reply

dev and www sites

Bob Heitzman — Fri, 19 Nov 2004 19:53:00 GMT

pre-sales question

I would like to use FrontPage 2003 tools to manage two sites: dev for staging and editing and www for production exposed to the public. Both need to be accessible via HTTP.

Can I do this with the standard hosting plans? Is is an add-on required? Second domain? sub-domain?

Users Page builder

DB — Fri, 17 Sep 2004 20:10:00 GMT

How would I build a form or web part page that automatically uses members information built on my site with web browser, ^{(or a page that registers members and builds their page saving it to several database's of individual parts, as in pictures to picture library, registration info to members info, and users discription's text to some database, field, webpart area or web page)} that builds a individual web page for that member and then save it to a specified folders A - Z????

Example: I need my annoumous users to be able to put a picture, their name and a self discription into a form or web part page using my sharepoint services. Have this information saved in sharepoints database and be able to be linked to. The users built pages can then be automatically linked in order alphabetically by their last names and automatically displayed hyperlinkeds to them in the members list. Viewed by anyone reading the members list.

Thanks

Simon Ransom — Sat, 28 Aug 2004 07:22:00 GMT

Hello

In your HE-200 hosting packages you have a free WSS site included. How is this site addressed i.e. my website would be www.mydomain.com so what would the WSS site be?

Many thanks

pricing and payment

soccerenthusiast — Fri, 27 Aug 2004 11:23:00 GMT

I'm looking at building a website for a non-profit organization that I volunteer for. However, I can't purchase a hosting package online because the organization doesn't, and I don't, have a credit card. Is there another way?

Also, because this is being paid for by the organization, I need something (a quote preferrably) to present to the board for comparrison and expense approval. If it were my decision alone, I wouldn't hesitate to sign up here.

HELP!!

Exchange/Sharepoint

Destonee — Mon, 16 Aug 2004 13:35:00 GMT

All my clients are currently hosted in an exchange/sharepoint environment. I notice you have sharepoint but not exchange. Is there any solution setup currently for those who would like to continue to use outlook client and all its functionalities and will there be any changes necessary for migrations?

Will you host a site without a domain name?

Alex Randall — Fri, 23 Jul 2004 14:06:00 GMT

Hello,

I currently have a site with you I also do some .NET programming/consulting work on the side. I am in the initial phases of designing a site for an organization but the DNS name is not important/will be assigned later.

My question to you is that can I sign up for a plan for this site, but not supply a domain name on the sign up form? Do you support that? The site would be in the "prototype" stage for a while and not in production. Really a site in development. I am aware that the only way to get to the site would be IP address only and that is fine.

Thanks for any information.
