  1. Yes, it's a message board using IPB. So if the php option is better I could use it. Thanks.
  2. One of my sites is getting hammered by visits from China. But we have nothing to offer anyone in China. It's chewing up my bandwidth like crazy. Actually the site itself hasn't been updated in a while. Is there a nice solution to this issue where I could block these visits saving lots of bandwidth? Thanks!
  3. This may not be in the right place, but it covers a few different areas. I'm currently a Hawkhost customer. I am on a reseller plan but don't actually resell anything. I've just enjoyed having a cpanel for each of my sites I manage. It's a few blogs, one small forum, and two blog/podcast sites that are small. But one of the podcasts is growing a bit in popularity. So at first I was thinking of moving that site alone to a different host that provided "unlimited" storage/bandwidth. I understand that "unlimited" is most likely a false description in total aspect, but it'd been recommended by someone else I know who podcasts. But I started wondering about HH. I know that the shared hosting offers much higher ceilings than the reseller hosts, though none are described as unlimited. But as long as bandwidth wasn't eclipsed is Hawkhost a viable option for hosting a small podcast/wordpress site? Understand that to this point it's never gone over 20G of bandwidth in a month. If that were to be a route to explore, I'd then consider just moving all my sites over to the shared account as add-on domains. How hard/easy is that to do? Could I actually stay on the same server I'm currently on (I'm satisfied with it). The other sites on my current reseller account are mainly blogs, but with one small MyBB site. Are they easily transferred over? Would it be best to do them one by one, or just do a new install of wordpress on a subdomain, create the mysql database there, and then just do a wordpress import and copy over the wp-contents folder? I know I asked a lot of questions in one post. But I've been happy with my HH experience over the last year and I'm interested in continuing the relationship.
  4. Yes, it's the random characters. I assume I do not need to open a ticket now? Should I use something besides (or is there something besides) TinyMCE?
  5. For some reason I cannot get spell check to work in my wordpress control panel when entering a post. Have you had any other notices of this? In looking around the net a little I came across two possible reason, and wondered if either of these were likely causes on HawkHost's servers. And then I read somewhere else it was fixed for them with some tweaks to mod_security. Any ideas? I can post a pic of what is shows me if I need to.
  6. Thanks, that was what I needed.
  7. I'm testing Google Apps and got the instruction to add a CNAME record with a CNAME destination. I didn't find any such settings in cPanel. Is adding a subdomain and then forwarding it the same thing as adding a CNAME record? If it's not the same thing, how do I add/edit a CNAME record in cPanel?
  8. Thinking of opening a reseller account with HH. One of the sites I'm considering is starting a forum. Using either IPB, vB, or MyBB. I've run forums before. So my question is where is the "limit" to when a forum running on a reseller account is in need of being moved to a VPS? Is it measured in daily page views to the forum? Or concurrent users? I know most forums say there are "X number of users in the last 15 minutes". What would X have to be before it needed to be moved to a different hosting account/plan?
