I am planning to purchase the “Swamp” plan of the shared hosting in order to start my trial/small scale adult dating/networking site. I would most probably be using either Social Engine or Skadate Unity (whichever is a reasonable purchase for me) on my hosting space.

I am planning to generate around 500 - 700 hits per day on the trial phase and if the hits cross more than 5000 per day, I plan to migrate to the dedicated server….

Taking the estimated traffic into consideration, I don’t think my website will be violating your CPU and memory usage policy…

My questions, however:

Are the above scripts allowed on the Swamp Plan? (Skadate Unity or Social Engine) I will disable the live chat plugin from the script in order to adhere to the TOS…

Just to make sure, is adult dating/networking websites allowed on Hostgator? I had earlier talked to live support as well as gathered information from various reviews that you even allow adult websites, such as porn… So I guess my adult dating website, which will be within the US Cyber Laws should be no problems… (A site similar to adultfriendfinder.com or alt.com….but on a very small scale)…

This is a bluehost question posted by diastasi on 30 September 2008

Is it possible that the following be an Internet Provider issue?

Today, no Bluehost’s page was available by me. Not even www.bluehost.com, nor other customer’s website.
More strange? I could normally see all other pages (Greek and International).

More strange?? Other friends by other Internet providers could see the Bluehost’s pages normally !!

This happened for first time to me!

This is a bluehost question posted by guachiman on 23 April 2008

I realized that there is no simple, quick way to migrate from a Fantastico installation of WordPress to SimpleScripts described anywhere. So after a couple of tests, I came up with the following steps:

1. MAKE A FULL BACKUP of your site, including a SQL dump. This is a HIGHLY RISKY MIGRATION. I’m NOT RESPONSIBLE for lost data. It worked for me, but you proceed at your own risk.

2. Use phpMyAdmin to export all your original Wordpress Installation SQL database tables (save as SQL file).

3. If you have installed ANY plugins, ANY themes, or uploaded ANY pictures, download a copy of your entire /wp-content folder from your original Wordpress Installation.

4. If you have your WordPress in a subdirectory go to step 5, otherwise UNINSTALL via Fantastico your original wordpress installation. THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE, SO PLEASE PLEASE BACKUP BEFORE DOING THIS. Once uninstalled, go to step 6.

5. Using an FTP client, rename the subdirectory where your original WP install is to a temporary name, i.e. “/blog” to “/blog-backup”

6. Go to SimpleScripts and start the install process. Make sure you select from the drop down the SAME VERSION as the original installation you are migrating (you can upgrade later, after the migration). Select THE SAME directory of the original installation as the destination. If it was originally in a subdirectory, use the ORIGINAL subdirectory name (i.e. “/blog”). Finish the installation.

7. Go to phpMyAdmin, and import your SQL backup into the new SimpleScripts database (WordPress installations by SimpleScripts are named “_wp##”, for example “{username}_wp01″, where {username} is the prefix that BlueHosts assigns ALL your databases. The imported tables with the “wp_” prefix will appear BELOW the SimpleScripts-created ones (no prefix).

8. Upload/replace through an FTP client the new /wp-content folder with the backed-up ORIGINAL /wp-contents folder

9. Download the new file wp-config.php, and change the line:

$table_prefix = ”; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

to

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

then, upload the modified file and replace the original in the NEW installation.

10. On phpMyAdmin, delete (drop) all the extra tables (without table prefix)

THE MIGRATION IS COMPLETE!!! Test your site, all should work. IF NOT, RESTORE YOUR FULL BACKUP (if you uninstalled with Fantastico), or (if you had your blog in a subdirectory) uninstall the SimpleScripts installation, and then re-name the temp sub-directory back to normal. i.e. “/blog-backup” -> “/blog”. If everything went well, you may delete the “-backup” subdirectory, if you created one.

IF YOU DID NOT UNINSTALL USING FANTASTICO, PLEASE CONTINUE:

Now, at this point both SimpleScripts and Fantastico are thinking they have an installation on the same directory. The Fantastico control panel should say something like “Intalled Version: Unknown”, “Upgrade Link: Only Manual Upgrade Possible”. This is OK. What we are going to to is erase the fantastico “install” data:

11. Using your FTP client, navigate to the folder:

/.fantasticodata

on your SERVER ROOT directory (not on your PUBLIC_HTML folder). To get there, navigate one level UP from /public_html

12. Navigate to the folder:

and delete the folder that has the domain name, INCLUDING the subdirectory (if any) of your ORIGINAL installation. i.e. the file to delete would look like:

www.example.com|blog

or if it was installed as a root install on a domain, it would simply look like:

www.example.com, or www.addondomainexample.net

NOTE: You might have more than ONE installation on more than ONE domains (add-ons, for example), subdomains, etc. PLEASE BE SURE WHICH FILE YOU ARE DELETING. Download and open it on a text editor if you are unsure. NOTE for ADVANCED USERS: If you end up deleting the wrong one, you can upload the fantastico file back up, BUT the special character “|” in the filename will not translate and will disapear. Once restored, you can copy-paste the character from another filename using your FTP client function “rename”.

DONE! All traces of the Fantastico Install should be gone.
