Hi,

I just want to know why it is not possible for my new host for me to use http://www.myresellerdomain.com/~username as temporary link for my clients. I can use this to all of my previous host. But why not on this new host? Is it because this new host gave me a dedicated IP and the others did not? I think this is a good function for a more professional look.

THanks

Pwh,

The only reason I can think of is your provider has had people steal bandwidth. When you use your domain like http://www.myresellerdomain.com/~username. It doesn't count against your account but your providers account. There has been times that I have to do this also on some of our servers. I will agree it does look professional but bandwidth does cost money and if someone takes it with out paying you have to draw the line. That is my thought I am sure someone else will have something to say.

Now I know how not to pay for my Large Bandwidth Usage.

Have you tried theservername.com/~username or perhaps IP/~username

If that doesn't work you could always assign a subdomain to the account untill their domain has resolved.

XeroMedia,

Yes, the theservername.com and ip works fine. I don't like the name of the servername, not identifiable thru me and the ip is changing to the servername when the page is loaded....

Thanks

I am sure your host would be most willing to help you out on this.

Yep this is what support is for and assuming they're with a good web host who has adequate support.

I just tested this out with my dathorn resellers account and it works just fine.

The reason why this is happening is because of bandwidth leech protection being turned on for your account. This is something that is likely a 'default' with your hosting provider. To fix this, all they need to do is remove a section of the virtualhost for your domain name inside of the apache server config, and restart apache.
