  1. Two unrelated VPS questions: 1. Is using a VPS for the equivalent of reseller hosting allowed? 2. Does Hawk Host's strict "no chats" rule apply to VPS's?
  2. Wow, thanks. I tried that, and it worked very well.
  3. Hello, I run Apache HTTP Server with PHP 5.2.13 or something like that on my home computer for performing HTML and script tests and whatever other experiments I can think of. I tried to install and configure MySQL following these instructions, but MySQL still won't work with my web server. Any advice?
  4. can't wait for the release of Ubuntu 10.4.

  5. You may want to consider installing a MOD to hide the search engine bots from the active users list.
  6. Also, you may want to change the board name from "Invision Power Board" to "HawkHost Community Forums" or something like that.
  7. Nice conversion. The forum looks good. However, you may want to change the IP Board header to the HawkHost logo.
  8. Hi, I was just wondering, does HawkHost still offer dedicated servers? I cannot seem to find a link anywhere on the homepage. Thanks.
  9. Cool, thanks for the advice. If I did decide to do that, it would probably build up slowly over time. Once I started to get up to 200 or so connections at any given time I would either get another VPS as a second game world or move on to a dedicated server.
  10. Indeed. The use of emulation servers depends fully on the legality. I was really planning to write an original MMO in the future and possibly host it here.
  11. Does this mean that all posts, user accounts, etc. will be destroyed in the process? Or will you use a conversion method to retain everything?
  12. Ok, so, just in a little more detail, what isn't allowed? I know nothing that would annoy people, break laws, or in any way be considered "mean" or "annoying", but is there anythig besides that that would restrict one's use of a VPS?
  13. Hello, If one got a HawkHost VPS, would they be allowed to host game (e.g. MMORPG, MUD, etc.) servers on it? Thanks in advance.
  14. Do you think there would be any chance of a HawkHost IRC Channel or two (one for general discussion, one for support) sometime in the future?
  15. I have a philosophical question for you all to think about. Let me know what you think.
  16. One other suggestion I have is to make forum.hawkhost.com redirect to forums.hawkhost.com. That would save me a 404 error every time I absent-mindedly forgot the s.
  17. Just a minor suggestion to make the forum look a bit more customized, I usggest replacing the current vBulletin "V" favicon with the Hawk Host favicon.
  18. If you would like a more accurate ping without triggering firewall action, you can ping from your computer. If you run Windows go into run, then type in cmd, then on the command line enter "ping hawkhost.com" (without quotation marks). On Mac, go into console (should be in the Utilities folder, which is inside the applications folder) and enter "ping hawkhost.com" (again, without quotation marks). I am unsure what to do if you run Linux, but it would probably be the same or a similar process on the appropriate command line.
  19. I have experience with WordPress. I do not believe there is a secure option to log in. If you would like that option in a future WordPress version you should suggest it to the developers.
  20. The article says: Fun fact: Contrary to popular misconception, pizza was invented in New York, not Italy.
  21. On my PC I play Age of Empires 2: Gold and 3: The Complete Collection. I also play a few online games (such as RuneScape) on my PC. On my Nintendo DSi I play Super Mario Bros. and Age of Empires: Age of Kings. And on my very, very, very, very, very old and outdated PlayStation 1 (I know, lame) I play Nascar 2001 and NHL 2001.
  22. Nice. You should replace the current vBulletin forum header in the upper left corner with this. It fits into the forum's theme quite nicely.
