Thanks for the feedback guys. I did some tweeking on the main page so it looks even cleaner now!

I'd sggest to try Verdana 10-11px.
I do like more Verdana then Arial, because it is more outstretched horizontally and looks better in small fonts. When the size goes up - then change to Arial.

Sometimes it looks nice to mix some Courier in smallest fonts.

I just signed up for a VPS hosting account with Plesk control panel. For the moment, I'm using my registrar's DNS controls and nameservers. The domain settings that work o.k. with the VPS are:

@ A 212.241.***.*** www A 212.241.***.*** mail A 212.241.***.*** webmail A 212.241.***.*** and the MX entry of: mail.mydomain.com 10

Although I have no FTP entry, FTP works fine too.

My problem is, I need to transfer a number of client domains from another host. Their email setup require the incoming mail server address to be:

pop.mydomain.com

rather than mail.mydomain.com.

I would really like to allow pop.mydomain.com to work on my VPS, otherwise I'll have to ask all my customers to change their mail client settings. I have seen some example DNS entries that include:

pop CNAME www

Does anyone know if that addition alone would enable my clients to get their mail after the domain transfer without them having to make any changes in Outlook etc. ?


domain.com.     MX (10)    mail.domain.com.

mail.domain.com. A            6x.1x.1xx.1xx

pop.domain.com.     CNAME            mail.domain.com.

it should work, but be patient until DNS refresh: 2-48 hours.

Thx seventhseal.

It appears I have two choices. If the domain stays hosted on the registrar's nameservers, (in my case ns.123-Reg.co.uk) the DNS settings made via the 123-Reg control panel have authorisation. The DNS settings set up by Plesk for each new domain are ignored. This works perfectly well, but I have to change or add 'A' and 'MX' records manually via 123-Reg.

If I want to control DNS from within Plesk, I have to enable my own nameservers on the VPS (e.g. ns1.myvps.com, ns2.myvps.com) and modify the Plesk DNS template to specify these servers whenever I select 'add a domain' in Plesk.

Then I just need to point all newly registered domains to my nameservers in the 123-Reg control panel.

Problem now is, I can't decide which method is best!. If I want to set up my own nameservers I should buy two additional IP addresses for the VPS, so other than having my server domain name shows up in WHOIS rather than 123-Reg, I'm not sure if there are any benefits?

The method you select in real life does not matter much. If you are not in the hosting biz or are not hosting many domains, I suggest you stay with your registrar dns servers. If it worx - don't fix it

I found out part of the problem, the server crashed and my host provider moved the server over to a new platform, but I think he tried upgrading to PHP 4 and it didn't work, so now the new server has PHP 4 on it, and it doesn't seem to be compatible with PHP 3x, according to him he can't upload my backed up db because it

"The escape character for 3.x was \' The escape character for 4.x is '' "

I'm not sure if this is really the case, but if so is there a work around?

if you have MySql db backup in file format - there should be no problems to restore to different server/php version etc. Generally, it does not matter at all as if you have pure sql queries you can restore them enywhere. Another prerequisite is that you still have all the site files. If not - you are still lucky if remember XOOPS and modules versions and can try to get them from sourceforge/xoops.org site.

page views in millions per day? if there are ~20,000 HITS per day, pagewievs should be <20,000

it seems that you mentioned, 1500 to 20,000 (unique) VISITORS per day

I have the same problem on my site.
My webhost allows only 3600 CPU seconds/day, but I was using over 20000. After enabling all cache features and blocked web bots, it reduced it to 15000, which is still too much. My site recieves around 100,000 requests/day.

It's hard to pinpoint where all the CPU usage is coming from... anyone have ideas?

Don't look too far for the answers. If you cannot change server configuration there are some steps you MUST to do:

1. Preferences -> Main "Use gzip compression?" - NO!!! NO!!! NO one more time!!!

2. Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory? - NO!!!! It reduces MySQL queries count.

3. Cache the most static blocks, forhttp://www.gdamania.net/ they coul be "Site Search" - no less than 1 day, "Welcome to GDAmania!" - no less than 1 day, "Latest Downloads" ~ 30 min, "Current Forum Topics" ~ 5 min. "Latest News" ~30 min. "Language" no less than 1 day. Of course cahching of dynamic blocks, where content depends on the site user group, is more difficult, so for beginning leave as is.

I can bet, that this would reduce load ~3-5 times onhttp://www.gdamania.net/
100 000 requests isn't very much to handle. As I can see You have Alexa ~300000, so I pretend even mediocre Celeron 1000Mhz, 1Gb RAM can host 50 XOOPS sites like this.

Thanks Feneex, I think I'll probably have my work cut out for me sorting this. My site is umm.. of an adult nature! so I get a lot of "NO's" from other people search engines etc LOL..

Thanks again

your site content absolutelly does not matter!
PR does matter when you are willing/or not to get quality visitors from Google and Google based search engines.

Of course there are some bans, and restrictions, but this is not the case...

ohh thanks for that feneex I sort of understand! lol, is there anyway I could check my site or anothers PR rating?

there are many ways to check PR.
I'm using Fierfox plugin, which also shows Alexa rating, but it has some flaws. For you the best is to google "pagerank measurement" and "search engine optimization" also to visit www.alexa.com - this is about Alexa rating.

Welcome to the real search engine optimization world, FruityB.
