Greetings all,
After running tests with Google PageSpeed, I believe my site could really benefit from compressing js/html/css/php files. Unfortunately, my host (Host Gator) does not support Mod_Gzip or Mod_Deflate. I was able to enable php compression through the ini file.
Is there another way to serve compressed files to browsers that support them, in a manner similar to Mod_Deflate?
I am migrating to a new reseller hosting plan. By default, they expect me to create a new cPanel account for every domain I add but this would be hugely inconvenient.
So I setup my addon domains in the following fashion:
/public_html/mydomain1.com/www/
/public_html/mydomain2.com/www/
The problem is, my Default domain in the account points to /public_html/ and cannot be changed by conventional methods.
I created a .htaccess file with the following data:
Rewrite Engine On
Rewrite Rule ^$ /mydefaultdomain.com/www/ [R=301,L]
The only problem is that it redirects to:
mydefaultdomain.com/mydefaultdomain.com/www/
How can I force it to use the subfolder but not show it in the finished URL?
I'm developing a common-interest social networking community which is soon ready for release. I need some advice on what type of a hosting plan will best fit both my emerging website development company and my new (hopefully high-traffic) online community.
I have narrowed it down to opening either Virtual Private Server hosting or a Reseller Account. I know roughly the advantages of each, VPS obviously for performance and Reseller for cost savings.
Specifically the two plans I'm comparing are JustHost's "Bronze" Reseller $20/month or DreamHost's VPS (http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-vps.html) $24/month.
Is there anything I should be considering that might help to make this decision easier?
