In reply to: Url now linking to old forwarding addressYes, I would contact them and see what they have to say. They should be able to migrate the WordPress site pretty easily to the other server. I hope this helps!

In reply to: Url now linking to old forwarding addressthe IP address for you blog is entirely different than the one associated with the domain you provided. The IP address of apollo.krystal.co.uk/~jkneed is 77.72.0.89
The Ip address of your domain:
thedust.co.uk is 77.72.1.34It appears you have two separate accounts. You’ve installed WordPress on a different server than where the domain is hosted.

In reply to: Url now linking to old forwarding addressOk, so WordPress is not installed on your Domain. that still does not explain why it is redirecting to another site. Did they explain why it is redirecting?
So where is the WordPress installation you first mentioned when you created the thread?

In reply to: Url now linking to old forwarding addressTypically, I change it to .htaccess.old so I know it’s the old htaccess. Yeah, a new htaccess will be created. Open up the htaccess file (the new one) and see if there’s anything in it. If it’s blank, then I’d suggest calling the host. It may be a DNS error on their part.

In reply to: Url now linking to old forwarding addressThat’s the only place it would be done in. There’s nothing in WordPress that would be pointing the domain elsehwere like that. Typically, re-directs are written to the .htaccess file. Because I retrieved the domains a record to to get the IP address and used that to then go to the default server page, the only place the re-direct could be is in cPanel.
In cPanel, there’s a few things to look at. I’d first check the re-directs section (it’s an icon) in cPanel to ensure. If you don’t find the re-direct, and you’re sure re-naming the .htaccess didn’t correct the issue, I’d contact your hosting provider and see if they can sort it out.
I work for a hosting company myself, and it’s easy to troubleshoot so they should be able to figure it out pretty quickly. It just makes it hard to troubleshoot.
Here’s the tool I used to look up the domain:

In reply to: Url now linking to old forwarding addressIf this is the primary domain, all the files should be located in the public_html folder. I’ve ran some basic tests. The domain is pointed to the IP address 77.72.1.34 which appears to belong to the server hera.krystal.co.uk
So, it must be a setting within cPanel thats causing the re-direct. Check to make sure in cPanel that you do not have any re-direct set up. Also, depending on your host, I’d check with them that the domain doesn’t have a DNS record causing the issue.

In reply to: 404 error in installationIt appears you have resolved this issue. When I visit the site, it displays an actual site, not a place holder from the host. Is this issue resolved?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Url now linking to old forwarding addressYes, the public_html folder is your default document root. Is this an add-on domain or the primary domain on the server?

In reply to: Restoring DB and lost localhostDuring the migration process, it’s important that you copy over the wp-content folder and the Database. All your content and settings will be stored in those folders/ Database. Did you copy the wp-content folder over?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Url now linking to old forwarding addresscheck in your .htaccess file for a re-direct. Also when did you change it to remove the redirect previously? You mentioned that it was working before and all of a sudden it reverted back. Did you restore anything or change any settings?
You’re not seeing any CSS/ formatting because thats not the site URL. This is typical when using a temp url.
Try renaming your .htaccess file and see if that corrects the issue.

In reply to: lost most content with automatic upgrade to wp 3.3When you restored the backup, did you restore the files as well? It sounds like you’re possibly missing some CSS files which is causing the change in formatting. Anytime you perform a restore, your database and the wp-content folder should be your focus. All the other files would be standard in an installation.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Hosting Requirements for a WordPress e-commerce site?There’s really too many variables to accurately say. Ipstenu is right, your resources are directly related to the traffic your website sees. Think of it this way, each time a visitor lands on your site, it makes a request for a page. If you have 1000 visitors on your site, that’s a 1000 requests to the server, hence it becomes resource intensive.
Again, I’d start out on the lowest tier of hosting you want. So if it’s a VPS you’re looking for something like a VPS256 would be fine. If your site grows, you then have the ability to upgrade and most hosts will let you know what you’d need to move to in that situation.
This really is all speculation. I know I run 2 e-commerce sites on a VPS256 without any problems. I monitor my server load regularly and it’s more than enough to handle 2 sites with a few hundred visitors to each site a day. Keep in mind to, it has a lot to do with how you’ve configured the server as well.
