I would like to work on creating some web sites for my portfolio(I already have one and it's created with wordpress), but I don't know what to do with domain and stuff. Should I purchase a domain and a hosting for each web site I create??
Well, it is completely your decision. You can access your sites with temporary URLs if your hosting provider offers. If you want to access each wordpress sites with separate domains like; http://example.com http://example2.com, you will have to register the domains and point them to your hosting providers' server.
Basically, you will get nameservers from them which you can set from your domain control panel (From where you purchase domain).

Peculiar problem, I have a client with a site they would like to replace. The site being so old that the company's that provide the domain and hosting don't provide these services anymore. I managed to contact the company where the domain was registered and transfer the domain name to the google registrar but have had no luck in locating the provider for the hosting in order to transfer the site itself and thus gain control of it.
My question is: can you kill the old site that the domain links to or otherwise upload a new site to the domain without access to the hosting?
If you got control of domain, it doesn't matter if the old site remains up.
Just point the domain to the new hosting server/folder as they tell you in their instructions and the old site will be inaccessible other than by IP address.
I am planning to develop a website in wordpress
I would like to point a subdomain shop.my-domain.com to an specific page of my domain site: my-domain.com/shop (of course I dont want to redirect them)
How can I do this?
I am using GoDaddy for hosting
For pointing your domain to particular subdomain in GoDaddy hosing you need to take support of Godaddy. You need to say them to point your domain to particular subdomain to your domain.
Just wondering if someone can clear something up for me. I am moving a site to another hosting provider for a friend who had their blog hosted on wordpress.com but had bought their own domain through them so the "wordpress.com" extension wasn't displayed.
I have transferred the new domain and I'm waiting for the DNS records to propagate. In the backend of the Wordpress site I have since changed the default domain to be "blogname.wordpress.com"
What I'm wondering is after the DNS records have propagated and the transferred domain now points to the new hosting will I still be able to access the wordpress.com site?
Or does this disappear?
It depends upon what you do with your old WordPress website. At WordPress.com dashboard you will have multiple options like:
Delete Site
Change your site’s address and keep your content
Empty your site of all its content for a fresh start
Transfer your website to someone else
Make your site private so only people you invite can see it
Usually, WordPress.com users set 301 redirection to self hosted domain. This way you will not lose any traffic or links pointing to your site. WordPress.com offers an add-on call site-redirect which cost only $13/year and it offers 301 perma-redirect.
I want to configure a Drupal 7 site using a domain and two subdomains with a single database.
domain.com
sub1.domain.com
sub2.domain.com
I am using Domain Access module for sharing content on these subdomains. I want to share some content and to be able to modify some content on each subdomain. The modified content must be viewed only on its subdomain (for example, a different image should appear on each subdomain).
The question is:
How can I share content between subdomains and also differentiate some content?
I tried different approaches, I modified the user's permissions and it is still not solving my problem.
I published a Basic Page on a subdomain and I can access this page from every subdomain, even if I unchecked the option "Send to all affiliates"
If I change the content from a page published on sub1.domain.com, that content appears modified everywhere
If I create a user or admin for a subdomain, he is able to login everywhere and I do not want that
Since you already can publishing in all domains and those changes are visible in all domains, I guess that you have the domains already well configured. This is, all domains pointing to the same Drupal project and using the same database.
So, you have three different questions:
DIFFERENTIATE THE CONTENT FROM EACH DOMAIN:
Assuming that you have the domains well configured, and the domain access module is installed correctly, you can publish to a specific domain by selecting which domain to publish the Basic Page, a domain access option now available.
(Be sure to test that with an user without permissions to see content from all domain - like the administrator).
CHANGE CONTENT FROM A DOMAIN AND AFFECT ONLY THAT DOMAIN:
If the content was published only to a specific Domain it should change only on that specific domain. The trick here is to have a different Theme for each Domain and make the change on the Theme corresponding to the subdomain you want to change.
USERS CAN ACCESS ANY SUBDOMAIN:
To control this you have to assign a domain to each user, go to admin/user and there under the AFFILIATE EDITOR OPTIONS tab, you can assign domains to users. (user's registered before the Domain Access module was installed doesn't have an associated domain).
I've got a ASP.NET website which has a domain name. I've got another web solution, and I want to route this solution to subdomain.
Example :
I've got website which has a www.mydomain.com domain name,
And I want to give domain name like sub.mydomain.com.
Any help would be great. I'm a newbie in this situation.
It all depends on your dns settings and how easy they are to control. If you have a cPanel provided by your hosting company this is usually easy to do. The websites have to be on the same url usually but a sub domain can forward to an external website.
Contact your hosting company/domain provider about using sub domains.
