I am trying to get a large-ish video to play - I host with hosting365 and the site is .fla enabled.....

I used CoffeeCup to design it but it only plays on certain websites and tends not to open on most.

Is this a hosting problem?

thanks,

I have a situation that I hope someone can help with.

I have designed a website for a client and require a windows server to install it on. I have done this.

The client domain currently points at a linux server. It stores its email etc. 

What I want to do is, change the domain name and point it at the windows server. I hope to minimize downtime. The main issue is with the email address. I do not want a situation the client dont lose emails or not receive them during the changeover.

What is the best approach to this? Please ask questions if I havent explained myself clearly.

Thanks.]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 10 Apr 2008 23:41:12 GMT</pubDate><date_added>2008-04-11 01:59:04 GMT</date_added><category><a href='http://www.giveitsocks.com/cat62-Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries.html' title='Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries'>Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries</a></category><author>Amateur</author><guid>http://www.giveitsocks.com/list-1733-Moving-a-clients-site-to-a-new-web-server.html</guid></item><item><title>Migration</title><link>http://www.giveitsocks.com/list-1737-Migration.html</link><description><![CDATA[Hi guys, looking for some expert advice.

I host a clients site on a shared server with 50gb bandwidth allowance per month. At the moment Googlebots are using the entire 50gb and more crawling the site. Total bandwidth for my shared server this month is about 130gb and most of this is robots crawling various sites.

I have a robots.txt file which is only allowing the major search engines and it is restricting access to all directories on the site.

I have also used Googles webmaster tools to slow the crawling of the googlebots but nothing seems to be working.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to dramatically slow the crawling of googlebots?

Thanks!

We are planning to move our servers to a load balanced
solution with 2 application servers, a database server,
and a server for storage.
I plan on mounting a directory from the storage machine as
an nfs share on both the application servers and 
using this as the apache document root,
thus , effectively , implementing shared storage.
I also plan on storing php session data in the same fashion
in order to avoid any problems with session stickyness.

I would like to know peoples opinions on using
nfs in this way as a simple shared storage solution
for load balanced websites.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a website that I created in ASP.NET 2.0. 
When I make changes to it I open it from logging in to my hosting company (register365) and going to "File Manager".
I am sure you are all familiar with this. The only problem is that when I open a page for editing (say an aspx page) it is not colour-coded and the indentation is all messed up.
It is confusing sometimes to see what is going on.
Is it possible to open this site in Visual Studio and edit it the same way as I do in "File Manager"?
That way it would be much easier to work on the code. 
I tried doing it by selecting "File-Open-Web Site" in VS and selecting "Remote Site" but this only works for sites "Configured with FrontPage Server Extensions" (I checked the box that says "Connect using SSL").
Any replies appreciated.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 20 May 2008 09:12:08 GMT</pubDate><date_added>2008-05-20 12:59:02 GMT</date_added><category><a href='http://www.giveitsocks.com/cat62-Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries.html' title='Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries'>Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries</a></category><author>fonzi</author><guid>http://www.giveitsocks.com/list-1949-Opening-my-site-in-VS.html</guid></item><item><title>dovecot fails to start</title><link>http://www.giveitsocks.com/list-1981-dovecot-fails-to-start.html</link><description><![CDATA[Hi folks,

I'm basically at beginner level of coding, and website creation etc.  Lately I've just been messing around and making fairly simple websites and forums.

Lately I've made a large scale website (or planned it) -  it uses a template I downloaded for free, so I'm editing the template and using it for each html page on the site - and I'm wondering about how to put the whole thing together. 

Now, theres basically 2 pages (Dreamline: About This Template (http://www.sonicoctave.com/software.html) and Dreamline: About This Template (http://www.sonicoctave.com/vst.html)) that have about 100 links on them, and then in each of those 100 links, there will be about about another 100 links.  I think I'm basically looking at over a thousand links and html pages.  Someone was saying that I can use a php database or mysql to make a normal page, and then have variables on it for each page instead of making a html page.

Sorry if I'm not explaining this well.  Basically what I was wondering is am I doing it right? Should I have over a thousand html pages for a site, or is that wrong lol?

I'll be uploading probably around 3000 pieces of software to it aswell, so i need one html page for each piece of software. Is there any easier way to do it?]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 13:03:47 GMT</pubDate><date_added>2008-05-29 15:59:10 GMT</date_added><category><a href='http://www.giveitsocks.com/cat62-Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries.html' title='Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries'>Server-Technical-Administration-Tips-And-Queries</a></category><author>musicformedia</author><guid>http://www.giveitsocks.com/list-2027-Not-really-too-sure-what-Im-supposed-to-do.html</guid></item><item><title>Cube PCServer Recommendations</title><link>http://www.giveitsocks.com/list-2028-Cube-PCServer-Recommendations.html</link><description><![CDATA[Just wondering if anyone is using a Cube PC or the like?
