<blockquote><p>I could use the nameservers listed below to performe<strong> recursive queries</strong>. It may be that I am wrong but the chances of that are low. You should not have nameservers that allow recursive queries as this will allow almost anyone to use your nameservers and can cause problems. Problem record(s) are:</p></blockquote>
<p>If you have your own VPS and Bind installed you can fix this issue by doing those steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Login to your webmin and go to Servers-&gt;BIND DNS Server</li>
<li>Select Miscellaneous options and there tick <strong>&#8220;Do full recursive lookups for clients?&#8221; to NO</strong></li>
<li>Apply configuration or just restart Bind for changes to take effect</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pic-bind-settings.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-624" title="pic-bind-settings" src="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pic-bind-settings-300x126.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="126" /></a></p>
<p>You can also disable recursive queries by manually editing <strong>/etc/named.conf</strong> file, just put directive &#8220;<strong>recursion no;</strong>&#8221; without quotes in options part:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pic-recursion-no.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-625" title="pic-recursion-no" src="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pic-recursion-no-300x114.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="114" /></a></p>
<p>Restart Bind server and reload intodns.com to check your site again and see that now it is correct.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I got email from them telling that Geocities closing date is October 26, 2009. Although I&#8217;m not using their servic anymore for a long time they still sent me an email informing about these changes. However, you may download your files this way [excerpt from Yahoo email]:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;To quickly download your published files, visit your GeoCities web site, right-click on each page, and choose Save Page As&#8230; from the menu that appears. Choose a location on your computer to save your files, then click OK or Save.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Anyone familiar with hosting would laugh reading this suggestion. Seriously, I can&#8217;t imagine who was so smart enough to come up with this idea of back up a website. If you&#8217;re looking for really outstanding hosting provider, check <a href="http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=mankosas">this one</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/apollo11.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="apollo11" src="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/apollo11-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="apollo11" width="124" height="124" align="right" /></a> If you are building new websites, like setting up new blogs, you probably <strong>don’t want to show Google </strong>or other visitors it before everything (templates, links, descriptions, meta tags, etc.) is completely set up.</p>
<p>For example, when you install WordPress, there is a default Hello World post displayed on the front page and Google also indexes your important login page. This is all the stuff you don’t need to show to anyone.<span id="more-547"></span></p>
<p>One solution to prevent such case is to test your website on <strong>localhost</strong> on your home computer but reuploading files and databases from home to your hosting account can add up quite some time and you cannot be sure that everything go smoothly.</p>
<p>One good way to <strong>test a website and fine tune it before final launch</strong> is to use <strong>.htaccess file</strong> to allow see the content only yourself. This way ensures that nobody else including web spiders and robots can see the website until you allow.</p>
<p><strong>To ban everybody from seeing your new unfinished site do:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Open (or create if it doesn’t exist) .htaccess file from the root directory of your site. (Root directory is where your main index.html file resides. If you are building new sites like addon domains on your main hosting, your root directory is that addon domain’s folder which is usually in /public_html/youaddondomainfolder)</li>
<li><strong>Add</strong> this code at the end of the .htaccess file (it will deny everybody that tries to visit yournewdomain.com)<br />
<blockquote>
<pre>Deny from All</pre>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Now <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=my+ip&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=" target="_blank">Google for My Ip</a> and copy your <strong>IP address</strong>. Then add more code to the .htaccess file<br />
<blockquote>
<pre>Allow from “replace this with your IP address”</pre>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><strong>Save</strong> your .htaccess file and reload your browser with yournewdomain.com. You should see website as normally but other people will see this screen:</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/forbiddenscreen.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="forbidden-screen" src="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/forbiddenscreen-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="forbidden-screen" width="494" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>This trick works only if you have static IP address. You can allways <strong>unblock access </strong>to your website by deleting code above.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Just a simple <a href="http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=mankosas">Hostgator&#8217;s</a> hosting overview before you decide which hosting company to choose.</p>
<p><strong>How your site works</strong></p>
<p>Your web site is made up of a group of files and directories, much like your Documents folder on your home computer. Only in this case, everyone in the world can see some of your files. To give you an idea of how the directories and files work, we&#8217;ll look at a view of the file manager.</p>
<p align="center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-275" title="hostgator-files" src="http://www.izitips.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hostgator-files.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="125" /> </p>
<p align="center"><em>Contents of /home/user/.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Above, you can see an example of the files and directories in your site. There are three main directories to be concerned with:<span id="more-273"></span></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>/home/user/</strong> &#8211; This is your home directory. All of your files are stored within this directory. Files placed directly in this directory will not be visible on the internet. You will start out in your home directory when connecting by FTP, Web Disk or the File Manager.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>/home/user/public_ftp/</strong> &#8211; This is the directory used for anonymous FTP access. Any files in this directory can be downloaded by anyone if anonymous FTP access is enabled.</p>
<p><strong>/home/user/public_html/ (www)</strong> &#8211; The public_html directory contains the files for your site. Files in public_html and any subdirectories of public_html will be able to be viewed by anyone on the internet.. (/home/<strong>user</strong>/www/ is the same directory as /home/<strong>user</strong>/public_html/).</p>
<p>When someone views a directory in your public_html area, they will see the index page for that directory. When creating your index page, you should use one of the following names (the first one found will be shown if the visitor doesn&#8217;t type in a specific page in their URL):</p>
<ul>
<li>index.html.var</li>
<li>index.htm</li>
<li>index.html</li>
<li>index.shtml</li>
<li>index.xhtml</li>
<li>index.wml</li>
<li>index.perl</li>
<li>index.pl</li>
<li>index.plx</li>
<li>index.ppl</li>
<li>index.cgi</li>
<li>index.jsp</li>
<li>index.js</li>
<li>index.jp</li>
<li>index.php4</li>
<li>index.php3</li>
<li>index.php</li>
<li>index.phtml</li>
<li>default.htm</li>
<li>default.html</li>
<li>home.htm</li>
<li>index.php5</li>
<li>Default.html</li>
<li>Default.htm</li>
<li>home.html</li>
</ul>
<p> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Warning</strong></span>: When adding files to your site, it is important that you add them in the right place. For example, you will need to place files that you wish to be visible on the internet in public_html or a subdirectory of public_html. If you placed them in / for example, no one will be able to view them.</p>
<p><strong>Getting Files to your site</strong></p>
<p>For your visitors to be able to visit your site, you will need to add some files to it. You can add files through the File Manager and the Web Disk.</p>
<p><strong>The File Manager</strong></p>
<p>The File Manager allows you to view the files in your site as well as to upload new files and modify existing files. You can access it on the main screen of your interface through the File Manager area. Once inside the File Manager, you can click on to upload files to your site.</p>
<p><strong>Web Disk</strong></p>
<p>If you need to move a lot of files at a time, or find yourself often making changes to your site, you can set up a web disk to easily access your site. A web disk allows you to add a link to your home computer&#8217;s desktop that goes to our web site&#8217;s files. This means that you can view the files on your site just like you would the files on your home computer. The next step will allow you to create and set up your web disk.</p>
<p><strong>FTP Accounts</strong></p>
<p>You can use FTP to upload files to your site. To do this, you will need to create a FTP account to access your site with. You can do this in the FTP Accounts area which is linked on the home page of this interface. Then, you will need to download a FTP client that works with your operating system so you can connect to that account.</p>
<p><strong>Web Disk Accounts</strong></p>
<p><em>The Web Disk allows you to easily drag and drop files to your hosting account. Once your Web Disk is configured on your local(home) computer, you can then drag and drop files to it, edit files, or view file information, just like they are part of your local (home) computer.</em><em></em><em>icon signifies your home directory which is /home/<strong>user</strong>.</em></p>
<p>Web disks are relative to your account&#8217;s home directory. The</p>
<p><strong>Your Main Web Disk Account</strong></p>
<p><em>This account provides access to your entire web hosting account. Click on &#8220;Access Web Disk&#8221; to set up the web disk on your computer.</em></p>
