SWH Server Updates

To my surprise, there are still a few sites whose webmasters have not updated their domains DNS settings to let their sites point to the new server.

Note that we have copied all sites on the old server to the new. But you have to login to your domain registrar to update the DNS settings according to the following nameservers:

NS1.SELFWEBHOSTING.WS
NS2.SELFWEBHOSTING.WS
NS3.SELFWEBHOSTING.COM
NS4.SELFWEBHOSTING.COM

Note that these nameservers are served from different locations so that sites hosted by us can still be visible even though one of these nameservers are down. If your domain registrar does not allow you to enter all four nameservers (they should, but just in case they don’t), then you need to use at least these two nameservers:

NS1.SELFWEBHOSTING.WS
NS3.SELFWEBHOSTING.COM

To test if you are very serious about your website, we are going to suspend all sites on the old server - not deleting, just suspending which can be unsuspended after you contact us.

If your site’s domain has NOT set to point to the new server OR has set but not yet resolved to our new server, you will see an account suspending page when you access your website.

Follow the instructions on the account suspending page to contact us so that we could unsuspend your site on the old server and give you some time to update your domain DNS.

We have made some changes from our side so that the following name servers also point to the new server:

NS1.SELFWEBHOSTING.COM
NS2.SELFWEBHOSTING.COM
DNS1.SELFWEBHOSTING.COM
DNS2.SELFWEBHOSTING.COM
NS1.SELFWEBBUILDING.COM
NS2.SELFWEBBUILDING.COM

Note that we cannot gurantee that they will work right away as we just made the changes recently. At the time of this writing/updating, all six nameservers appear to have resolved to the new server. Also we did this in order to make a smooth transition for your site. We may use these nameservers for other purposes in the future. So please try your best to use the designated nameservers that are given in the beginning of this post.

This means that if you set your domain to point to any of these nameservers, your site should show up from the new server without you doing anything. If not, the changes we made may have not been sensed fully by the entire World Wide Web.

Note that you will see that your site on the new server is NOT as updated as the new server because of the time lag between doman DNS changing/resolving and site transfer. In this case, you can use the following IP-based site URLs to compare the differences and make content updates:

Old server:

http://70.84.139.138/~username (access your site using correct username)
http://70.84.139.138/cpanel (access server control panel)

New server:

http://82.103.130.19/~username (access your site using correct username)
http://82.103.130.19/config (access server control panel)

End Note: Login form for the new server control panel has been incorporated into most pages on our main website at selfwebhosting.ws - here is an example: http://www.selfwebhosting.ws/demo.php
