Comment on How To Have Multiple Domains Using 1&1 by Donnie

For most of my stuff I use Dreamhost (who doesn’t support .NET). But from a Linux hosting standpoint, most hosts just create a new directory for your new domain and point a DNS entry there. I know with Dreamhost you can manage all aspects of that process before and after it’s created.

In IIS you can create a similar setup, I’m sure there are some hosts out there that take advantage of that but I don’t know of any I’d recommend off the top of my head. I do know, however, that if I were choosing a new host today that would be something I would consider up front.

This doesn’t sound like a hack at all, just a clever way to get out of having to pony up for a new host for each domain name.

Who do you recommend, and how do they do it?

Yeah, make sure you do a side project for an important client. Do not check your code into source program. Get mad at the mgt, give your two weeks and neglect to tell the other programmer what you were doing, why you were doing it, and where the f***** source code is. You should add insult to injury and leave about 20 folders that have no naming relation to the actual project with various file dates that sometimes align when the stars are right so the next guy working on your sh*t has to build all 20-30 folders looking to find the gold standard you dropped on the clients machine…

Im on 1and1 at the moment and need to host another site, one of the main reasons I went with them was because of the multiple domains thing! Very disappointing to find out they, technically, dont actually support it.

Would move if i wasnt tied down with a contract…

Do you know a good host that support multiple sites?

Thanks

Sophia

Comment on SQL Management Studio… How NOT to save in Unicode format by Kevin

This is not a rare problem at all. Only people who never try to access these files outside the confined studio env won’t be hitting the froblem. Anyone who uses other tools (including many Microsoft tools) to search (e.g. grep) or diff such source files would have this problem.

Microsoft in their typical non-interoperable way picks a default that doesn’t make much sense, not just for other environments, but doesn’t make sense, period.

For starters, calling UTF-16 ‘Unicode’ is wrong. The Microsoft encoding default is UTF-16 which is one specific form of Unicode. UTF-8 is also Unicode, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8. Ironically, UTF-8 is much more compatible with ASCII so it would be a much more sensible default to pick.

The problem with the default Microsoft encoding is that for most cases (English text) every other byte in the UTF-16 encoded file is a null (ASCII 0) byte. This makes these *.sql files both 2 times larger for no reason and non trivial to search, diff, edit with other standard tools.

Yet another Microsoft bad design decision.

[...] You might also notice this line “System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false”, that takes care of the HTTP 417 Error which is explained here. [...]

I hate the way 1and1 do this, I had an account with them about or more than 5 years ago and it was a nightmare to set up. Tech support was useless, I somehow managed it and lived with it. I left 1and1 to go with another hosting company and found it much easier. I am now looking into uploading a website onto 1and1 due to work and I’m stuck again, I have followed what you have said above but it still doesn’t work.

I will keep looking until I find an answer.
