After parking some of my larger websites on Godaddy's Dedicated Servers about a month ago. I have found where Godaddy is weak. To say the least By Nov 1st I plan to shutdown my godaddy Dedicated Server, and move them to a colocated box with a local Data Center here in Houston.

Recently I moved a few of my clients to Godaddy. Even though I hear lots of bad things about godaddy, my websites are running faster than they had been running on HostMySite. Turns out that this speed increase might have more to do with PING times than the hardware they were hosted on.

So one my clients has recently out grown their HostMySite VPS box. It was time to migrate them to a larger box. The choice we went with was a Windows Dedicated Server with Godaddy. In this blog posting I explain the server we got. Why we picked certain features, and how the setup is going. This is a must read for anyone who is thinking about Hosting with Godaddy.

If you have found this blog post, the chances are you have already searched the web for hours trying to figure this out. Running a single website on godaddy is not a problem. but once you start running multiple asp.net websites on your godaddy hosting account, and they all use custom 404 handling as part of URL rewriting you will run into problems. Here is how I made it work.

For those of you who are considering using Godaddy for Hosting your website, I have written a detailed blog to help shed some light on the good, and bad and the ugly about doing business with godaddy. Searching google you will find plenty of negative reviews on their hosting and support. This is an unbiased writeup that is written from my point of view as a developer that has built websites for over 8 years.

If you are in the market for a website, you will most likely approach several developers looking for quotes. This is fine, but most clients don't know enough to see a fraud, or see a value. They rush to the lowest bidder and then wonder why things don't turn out the way they wanted. Here are several things to look for when building a new website.

This is a list of IPs that tried to send email to users that don't exist on one of my client's sites. SmarterMail can be setup to reject these IPs after X failed attempts. Feel free to add these to your blacklists.

Coming soon!! Even though you can never block computer savy people from downloading your videos. The latest Real Player makes it so easy that even a computer handicaped person could download videos from your members sites. After some hacking I figured out how to bock Real Player from stealing your videos. All I am going to say is it involves an Http Handler, and an ISAPI entry to manage your .MPG extensions. I should have a full write up on how to do this within a few days.

If you get a ton of server errors in your event logs in IIS. You might be under attack from hackers and spam bots attempting to inject comments and links in your submit forms. The notorious Viewstate Failed Error seems to be the result of their attempts. I have found an awesome resource to take care of this, and block these rejects for good.
