Domain Change (Once Again)

Update: It has come to my attention that a couple members in Argentina, Netherlands and other countries have not been able to connect to the forums due to some DNS failure. So, I have switched the domain back to designsector.ipbfree.com and I promise that we will always be sticking with this one. I do realize that it is an inconveninence to everyone. I just wanted an official domain to look professional but I guess that isn't working so well.

Working Domains:
designsector.ipbfree.com (default)
designsector.co.nr
forum.designsector.org

These domains work, but the default one will now and forever be designsector.ipbfree.com. There is no need to update your bookmarks since it will automatically link you back to this site

.

Again, I do realize that this is a pain in a$$ and I am sincerely contrite for all the inconvenience.

Ok, so I have been working on a website template and I am near completion. I have just registered a hosting account so that means that the domain designsector.org will NOT lead to this board anymore.

The new forum domain is forum.designsector.org ... For now, the default domain is designsector.ipbfree.com since the domain will not be activated for about 24-48 hours.

So basically for a day or two, we will be using the .ipbfree.com domain till the new one is up and working. That means, time to update bookmarks again

That's not hosting. It's just a website. And if you plan to help him promote that site, wear a promotional sig or something. We don't welcome posts with outside links.

Ok the forum.designsector.org link works now. I am just having a little trouble trying to get the main page to activate. It should take 2 days around the whole world for the page to work. It worked for me last night when I was in Pennsylvania but not here in New Jersey .. pretty lame but I'll continue once it's done.

Bloodychuck, stop spamming that crap all over.

One of my friends who often gets help on the ipbfree support forums told me to check it out...it seriously sucks.

I couldn't even install phpbb3 (yess I know how to install it!) because of the lag. Anyways, their service is crap slow for any php website using a database...which sucks because most things use this anyway.

Also, just to let you know...free hosts (including the site bloodychuck mentioned) turn php safe mode on...so YOU CANNOT INSTALL ANY MODS on it anyway. It's pointless to move your site over there...I'm sticking with ipbfree, they seem to be doing a good job anyway.

I suggest using them only for free file hosting, nothing else! Hate those timers at those other places.

Edit: I did try a phpbb3 demo, its ok...mostly re-skined.

Why exactly did you go from DesignSector.org to Forum.designsector.org?

Streek Dime

6th September 2007 - 03:36 PM

Because designsector.org will be our new website ... that I am currently working on.

i switched my forums like 3 times my last one had SMF 1.1.4.

but, here is the thing my host did not allow .htacess files.

i think they are used for ban filtering.

then, i switched back to my old(ipbfree forum) because spammers were signing up.

so, yeah i understand the confusion and what a pain in the a$$ it can be.
