I am looking for some help here. I have configured my domain emails on Windows hosting and it is working fine. Next I want to deploy a Wordpress application on Linux hosting under the same domain.
It is possible to have the emails in Windows hosting and have the actual web application in Linux hosting?
I already have configured the dns of both hostings in my domain account. The emails are working fine but when I try to access to my domain name, it doesn't show up the Wordpress app (it shows up the default "Under construction" page of my Windows hosting)
Anyone can give me some advice? Thanks in advance.
make sure you are edit the A record to your linux server. A/#/www should pointed to your linux server IP Address. And keep the MX to your Windows server.
For example, this is how to configure it on Godaddy https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-DNS-records-at-GoDaddy-for-Office-365-f40a9185-b6d5-4a80-bb31-aa3bb0cab48a
Sure, just point your DNS MX record of your domain to the Windows server (you seem to have this figured out already) and point the DNS A resource record to the IP address of your Linux server.

I recently setup a wordpress website on IIS.
I configured the website and it is working on the local machine. I can browse pages and get to the wordpress admin.
I also configured IIS with the correct site binding, host name and ip address.
However from the internet I can not reach the website. It's as if the wordpress site is not listening to or IIS is not passing along traffic from the internet. And just to make sure it wasn't an issue with IIS. I setup a second website on that server that is accessible from the web. That one is working.
Any anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.
After doing some testing.
In this case. The wordpress site would not respond or map to the correct domain name on the main ip address of the server.
After adding a second IP address on the nic card and mapping that in IIS the website worked properly.
It was a very strange situation. It should of just worked on the main IP. But it didn't. shrug.
I am trying to develop a few hard coded HTML websites for mobile use, and also WordPress sites at the same time (wsing XAMPP).
The only way I know how to access a locally hosted website from mobile is connecting to the IP address of my computer which automatically connects to the "localhost" domain.
However, the local site I want to develop has the custom local domain "xx.local", whereas localhost is dedicated to my WordPress installs. e.g. localhost/wpsite
Either of these 2 fixes would be satisfying:
How can I install WordPress on localhost but with a different domain name e.g. wordpress.local, so that the Android site I'm testing can have the native localhost domain.
or
How can I access different locally hosted sites from an Android phone (instead of the IP which automatically retrieves "localhost")
How can I access different locally hosted sites from an android phone (instead of the IP which automatically retrieves "localhost")
If is your phone rooted (or if you are willing to root it) you can install hosts editor (this one is my favorite) and the rest is pretty obvious. You add new entry with IP of your server (the machine with XAMPP installed) and the desired domain (eg: "local"). All you need to do then is to connect both machines to the same network.
Bonus tip: if you enter just "local" to your Chrome on Android, you will be redirected to google search of word "local". You need to type "http://local" instead.
I made a website with wordpress. The wordpress is installed with xampp. How to make it accessible for everyone? My link is http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/. When i try to access it with another pc. It failed. This site cant be reached.
127.0.0.1 is your localhost address, you won't be able to access that site from another computer. To make your site live, you need to buy a domain name (you can buy it from any hosting provider company) and a hosting package.
After buying the domain and hosting plan upload your site to the server.
Given that I'm not so familiar with these kind of stuffs, I bought an ovh domain and I would like to upload my website I have developed so far in local. How can I transfer it to ovh servers?
Ovh is just an online server. You can use the method which is given in following link to transfer your word press site from local computer to online ovh server.

I am working on a website LOCALLY running Win7 and IIS7. I want the website to respond to ANY subdomain request like "*.mysite.com".
How do I configure the IIS bindings and host file to allow for this? I can't seem to locate any good tutorials on this.
Thank you for your time.
If you don't enter host headers and your domain's dns records are set to point all subdomains to the website's IP address, the website will catch all requests.
I am not sure about your local setup, but i am running few websites on IIS7 where all subdomains go to the same site.
