I am in the process of porting some sites from my own server to Google (GHS). I've always used ZoneEdit to manage my DNS needs and in the past - wrongly or rightly - configured it so that: domain.com and www.domain.com pointed to: <my known ip address> With the www sub-domain all is fine and it (www.domain.com) resolves to ghs.google.c...

I'm interested in having a second web host run a copy of my website, such that if my first host goes down, the traffic routes to the second host. Is this possible? My guess would be to add additional nameservers beyond the first two. I also suspect it's doable with no-ip.com, but I'm not clear on how that works, and if they would requi...

I want to serve east (west) coast visitors with my Virginia (California) server. To do so, I plan to use Geoipdns and the IP-to-location mappings from MaxMind. MaxMind provide two datasets for free: GeoLite Country and GeoLite City. However, neither of them has east/west coast regions defined. A possible solution is to write a script...
We recently released an android application that pulls information from an external server. Last week we moved from shared hosting to a dedicated server, that went smoothly up until we started getting complaints that users were getting server not found errors.

First of all, granted the question is not very descriptive - quite hard to summarise what I mean in the title. Let me elaborate. On uservoice.com they allow users to have domain aliasing. For example, these sites use domain aliasing: http://feedback.bit.ly http://feedback.topofblogs.com http://feedback.neutex.net None of them are h...

I am using CURL to check for the existence of a URL (HEAD request) but when I test it with www.google.com, it redirects me to www.google.co.uk - probably because my server is UK-based. Is there a way you can stop this from happening? I don't want to remove the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option as this is useful for 301 redirects etc. Part...
