i also have a ?....

i have a web site account setup on my current hsphere reseller account and wanted to transfer this site to the new cpanel5 system when you have it setup.

how hard is this to do? would there be any downtime when initiating this transfer?

thanks

Well, unfortunately no matter if its a move to the same system or not, there is no auto-magical way to get everything moved without just a little downtime, if anything because of DNS propogation which is out of everyones hands.
One good way to ensure minimal downtime is to get all the sites setup here before you cancel your current host,, and then make all of the necessary DNS changes at once. You will lose some email, but site downtime will be minimal.

Looks very interesting. Can you give an approximate time frame when it will be available?
Also what does it mean "you will loose some e-mail" what exactly would I need to tell my customers if I wanted to switch?
Can we play with the new panel before we switch our accounts over?

obj,

what craig means about the email is as you change your DNS if you delete the account from one system the mail may not get routed right for the first 24 hours or so from the out side world.

BUT, if you leave your site live in H-Sphere and set it up in the new system you would not lose any thing would just need to check your mail on the old server and then delete the account.

Once the systems are live you can signup and test it out to see how you like it.. There is also a user side demo on our site right now as well that you can take a look at. I think you will see it is a little easier then H-Sphere for the user side. But remember in CPanel there is no Ticket System, Billing made in to the CP so you would be losing some thing you would have to make up with an out side program or some thing.

i don't even use the billing and trouble ticket system... all billing is handled through Microsoft Money

looks nice...

also another quick question, i have ns1.clevelandwebdesign.com and ns2.clevelandwebdesign.com setup to point to you guys. now when i setup this account on this new system, how will that work? will those nameservers still work???

Don't mind the billing part. Is too confusing anyway. The e-mail issue does not seem too hard either.

This is one thing we are looking at.. We may not support Custom Name servers on the CPanel systems like H-Sphere does. We have a domain edge3.com that is not used for any thing and will not be used for any thing but DNS. Now some registrars support more then one name server to point to the same name servers.

OpenSRS is one that supports this. If your registrar supports it then you could just point to our 2 name server IPs.

There is a few reasons for this. 1 IPs cost us a lot of $$$ getting them from Arin and this will help keep cost down on the plans. 2 the more IPs you ad to a system the slow it boots. 3 Also the more IPs we add to one system the more IPs we have to firewall.

Just thought I would get that out of the way before some one was to ask me..

But I am open to some ideas on this as well.

i know i can setup ns3.clevelandwebdesign.com and ns4, mayb i can point them to edge3's ip addresses....

hmmmmmmmm

im using godaddy

[admin]

Never tried it with godaddy they may support it as well. I think most do besides NSI as they suck any way..

If they do you will be all set..

yep godaddy is great, i'm sure they have it.


ANTI-NSI ALL THE WAY

when do you expect to get this up and running?

one other quick question... can you run ASP on FreeBSD?

this would be great since one of my clients runs ASP files but likes all the unix features (multiple ftp logins, file manager, etc.)

[Craig_Smith]

Theoretically you could with something like chili soft-ASP on a unix OS, but its not as good as running it on a windows environment. Regardless, I just found out it doesn't run on FreeBSD anyway.
I'm not an ASP programmer but i have heard from many people it can be a bit limiting as well.
