Hello,

What DNS setting is your domain configured to?

In other words, which one of these do you use on your domain: SiteBuilder, standard hosting (your own program like Dreamweaver or FrontPage), Advanced name servers, forwarding to another URL or one of the plugins (WordPress, Drupal, etc etc?)?

I need to know the DNS setting before I can help you.

Sorry, I missed your quote and didn't read your question properly.

I think the script you are trying to install is incorrectly assuming the server does not support the appropriate extensions because of a failing attempt to setup a SQL db on the server.

As I said before, the basic (or premium) GDI hosted plan do not provide SQL db access.

Post a link to this script your trying to install, I'll check it out.

Post a raw link to the zip file containing the script(s) for the application (Magento) you are trying to install.

Hello,

GDI does not offer access to MySQL db's but as far as I'm aware, the servers are more then capable of supporting them.

If you need access to a MySQL db for your Standard Hosted domain, you'll need to go buy some access from a different hosting provider.

BUT, If you already have a SQL db setup somewhere else and you need to access it with your .WS (GDI hosted) domain, you will need to do it differently as there is a remote access block preventing users accessing remote SQL db's.

Let me know if that's what your trying to do. I'll then explain further.

Hello,

Did you check the size of your files on the server, or on your local machine (your computer)?

Your local files (the files on your computer) may be different to the ones on the server.

Sometimes, most FTP programs don't delete files on the server, when un-present on the the local machine. So if you deleted any files on your computer, chances are, they've not been deleted on the server, which is why your hosting account has exceeded it's allowed disk quota.

You FTP program should allow you to view files on the server. Go through files on there, check their sizes.

Hello,

Ranking high in SERP's doesn't always result to high amounts of traffic. What keyword are you ranking for?

Sometimes, most search engines (including Bing) will use your location (country your based in when doing the search) as a factor of the SERP's rankings, So your site may show up high in the country your currently in, but in others, it could be far below...

I'll post a link below to a SERP rank checker. Try it.

Hello,

I can think of two ways to do this, but the second varies.

1.) You can execute abbit of PHP to empty the tables:


Now what you need to do with the code above:

1.) create a new PHP page (with the .php extension)
2.) copy the code above and paste into the source of the php page you just created.
3.) change the following values:

i.) change "SQL_HOST" to your database host.
ii.) change "SQL_USER" to your database username.
iii.) change "SQL_PASWORD" to your database password.
iiii.) change "***TABLE NAME HERE***" to the table you want to empty.

once thats done, save the page onto your .ws server and run it in your browser. You should see this messege on the screen: everything worked fine, and all the data in the table has been deleted if you do see that messege, great. If you see this one instead: something went wrong, check the code. then you have done something wrong. go over the code. if you still see the issue after fixing any errors, let me know.

Unfortunately, you cannot drop (delete) tables with PHP and your standard SQL user due to certain privileges set. But if you want to delete the table, read my second suggestion.

Now the other option is allot easier BUT will only be useful if your using one of the plugin's and you are happy for ALL of your data (for that plugin) to go. When i say ALL, I mean everything for that plugin. So if it's WordPress, all posts, comments, drafts, settings, etc etc will go.

Taking a look at your site, I see your using the forum plugin.

To erase all data (including SQL data), follow the steps below:

1.) Login to your members area.
2.) Navigate to the plugins page
3.) Click options on the plugin that stores the data that you would like to erase (in your case, the Forum).
4.) Click Delete

and thats it. everything will go. Be sure not to click turn off as that will only turn the plugin off (not erase the data until 60 days).

Thats all i can think of, but hopefully, the above suggestions should be all you need.

Hello,


As long as the affiliate/customer under the deactivated account is still active, you will still receive the appropriate commission.

So for example:

If you got Jim and Tom to join directly (level 1) and they then recruited two affiliates each: Bobby, Tim, Charlie and Katy.

This would leave you with a commission of $6 (depending on pay plans etc etc).

Now if Tom (from your level one) quit or became inactive, but his downline members (Bobby and Katy) stayed active, you would only lose commission from Tom.

So you would then receive a total of $5 in commissions (again all depending on the pay plan).

So if a downline member of yours quit, you would only lose commissions from that person, not from their downline (unless they also quit too).


So a clear answer: YES, you will still get paid for the active members in that persons downline).

Nav

I cannot understand your question.

Are you trying to install WordPress on a domain hosted with GDI or a domain hosted with another company?

If it's with another company, you'll need have access to a SQL database (MySQL).

Let me know and Ill give you further instructions then.

I was originally just going to be polite and tell you stay away from silly titles like "Make thousands a week" BUT since you welcome criticism in future replies to your message, here goes:

I'm just kidding. But long put short, don't use those kinda titles mate. They wont get you anywhere.

You may get a few signup's but you'll end up with a downline full of deactivated/inactive customers as they wont get what they were originally looking for (an income of thousands per week).

Those testimonials are legit, but yet are from VERY successful Internet marketers. No average Joey will be able to make that kind of money, in a short period of time (before they start having second thoughts about GDI).

My advise for a headline would be to make it sound exciting, yet keeping it real at the same time.

I've been with GDI for over 3 years, so I know what doesn't work - False advertising.

You may not see it as false advertising (because of the testimonials) but think about it from the prospects point of view, getting them all excited about something that will probably never happen.

You need to make it VERY clear that it takes allot of effort, time and hard work to even begin making a profit from selling domains as an affiliate.

Hello,

assuming your talking about changing your preferred payment method:

You may do this by:
1.) logging into your PayPal account
2.) click the profile link
3.) click My Money and My pre-approved payments
4.) click Global Domains International
5.) click cancel
6.) confirm it


Once thats done, login to your GDI account and click preferred payment (under account info), then setup the agreement again with the instructions provided on screen.

If you need to change your preferred commission payment method, the PayPal steps provided above will not be necessary. Simply login to your GDI account and click preferred commission and make the following changes.

Hello

This would usually be the same as usual.

Host:ftp.YOURDOMAIN.ws
Port: 21
Username: GDI_USERNAME
Password: GDI_PASSWORD

That should do it. But remember, if you have the WordPress plugin activated on a sub-domain, there will be an extra folder you will need to go into. The folder should be named with the address of the sub-domain which WP is installed on so for example blog.yourdomain.ws.

Hello,

Global Domains International and Hostgator do not communicate with each other at all (as far as I'm aware of). If you have called the support line and deactivated your GDI account, you will then need to register a new account to continue being a customer/affiliate of GDI.

On the other hand, if you simply got your account into the 'Inactive' status (by avoiding the charges), you may simply continue your membership by logging into the same account and re-registering a domain name.

Now, maybe the Bear Marketing System links your GDI account with your Hostgator in some way. If thats the case, you will need to look into it yourself.

It looks like there is a 'VIP Forum' for this Bear Marketing System, try posting your Bear Marketing questions there.

But as far as I know, registering with Hostgator wont get you anywhere near the GDI world. So you will have to signup to Global Domains International separately.

Nav

Ah right, I see.

Makes more sense now.

Also, the application we're working on will use the SQL db that WP uses but only to store small bits of info (text) into different tables (not the same ones that WP uses). The application wont touch any of WP's data in the SQL DB. We've tested it on several different domains including one hosted by GDI and it works fine (so far). So everything should be okay.

Nav

Whitney,

I'm slightly puzzled to what you mean when you say "due to the common required use of MySQL".

WordPress also uses MySQL to not only run on the admins side, but also on the visitors side as the info (Posts, Comments, Images, etc etc) is fetched from SQL constantly.

Blogger puts more traffic on the SQL side then WordPress?

To be honest, I never even knew you could use blogger on a self hosted domain. Thought it was only available as a service from Google.

So if that's the case (blogger putting to much pressure on the SQL side), how much taffic can these servers take?

We're working on a product for GDI members that links to WordPress and will use the SQL db (same one that WordPress uses) to store information, so thats why I'm curious to know how much these servers can handle.

Hello,

If you have designed your site using a third party application such as Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage etc etc then you WILL need to configure some FTP settings. BUT if you have designed your site with the website builder, then you can just hit the upload button, and your site will be live.

Make sure you have the site builder option selected for the domain you wish to use it on. To see if it's selected, follow the steps below:

1.) Login to your members area
2.) Click domains (in the side menu bar)
3.) Look for your domain
4.) check the DNS setting
5.) if it states SiteBuilder, then its fine, if not, follow on
6.) click change DNS
7.) select sitebuilder and then click continue

once thats done, you can use the site builder and have your site up in seconds....
