  3. my domain is from mydomian.com I just did the server name update and they ask me the ip address follow the DNS server, that's not neccessary, right? because I don't know what the NS1.DISCOUNTASP.NET ip address...


    so I need to wait untill it's been transfered to discountasp.net?

    I think I just need to use the ip address that DNS Manager gives me, the redirect my domain ip address, that can point the website to my need ip address, then my website works right? I don't need to change DNs server,right?

    I don't understand your last question, but you do not have to enter the IPs for the name servers when you change them at the registrar.

    You don't have to touch the DNS manager here (we recommend that you do not change anything in the DNS manager unless you really know what you're doing). Just change the name servers at the registrar and the domain will point here.
     
  5. does it mean I change the DNS service? 'Mydomain' is my domain name service supplier which will still charge me annual fee, not here,right?

    my question is : when I entered the DNS Manager here, I saw it gave me some ip address for my website, so , on the "mydomain" side, I just point my website to the ip address which I got from here, then, it's done, does this way work? or I chage the ip address there and I aslo need to add the domain servers in "mydomain" dns management?

    To point your domain to us, you update the Domain Name Server with your Domain Registrar. You keep your domain with your Domain Registrar and continue to pay them for the domain renewals. So you have your domain service with 'mydomain' in this case, and you have your hosting services with us.

    As for the DNS Manager in our Control Panel, you don't need to touch it to point your domain over to us. The IP addresses displayed in the DNS Manager does not need to be used to point your domain over to us. We recommend not messing with the DNS Manager unless you know what your're doing because it can mess up your site.
     
  7. well, I used to point the ip address to my server's ip in my domain register whose name is "Mydomain" 's DNS's management .

    your meaning is I just add your NS1.DISCOUNTASP.NET
    NS2.DISCOUNTASP.NET to my domain service in "mydomain" , that's it? I don't need to point my website ip to the ip that I got from here over the "mydomain" side? if so, I just leave the ipaddress blank over the "mydomain" side?


    oh, I see, when I update DNS Management on the "mydomain" side, that means I don't use thier dns service any more, so it doesn't matter I change ip address over there or not, is this right?

    then, how about the email address that I setup in "mydomain" it still works?

    Your email addresses do not migrate automatically when you use another email service. You will need to set up all your email addresses in our smartermail system. Visit the control panel email management section.
     
  9. is what I said about ip and dns correct?
     
  10. thanks for everyone! it works now , but the speed is not fast, how many use can use it at same time?

    what "speed" are you referring to?
     
  12. like ADSL down load 7M upload 800k , local 10M/100M , what we can get from discountasp.net ?

    So are you referring to the speed of your website? Is your domain name servers updated? Did you run a traceroute?

    Measuring the speed at our network connection is irrelevant most of the time, because the speed you or a visitor perceives is largely dependent on distance, network latency, speed capping by ISPs, how your application is coded, if your database is optimized and indexed...
     
  15. I have updated the Domain server.and the speed is not that complicated, just how many 'M' user can get from discount directly, I don't know how to caculate it, average? like 10M /1000 user? tracert last hop is 269ms in discount.... not light

    You can't calculate an average, it doesn't work like that.

    We have two primary backbone connections to the US data center, one is a gigabit, the other about half that (burstable [immediately adjustable] to whatever we need at any given time). Inside the network all connections are GigE, so theoretically we could push a gigabit of traffic to one server at one time.

    I say theoretically because there are routers, firewalls and a Tipping Point intrusion detection system between the servers and the backbone connection. And of course it is unlikely that the most powerful web server could serve a gigabit of traffic for any sustained period. The limitations of the operating system and physical memory would come into play.

    So the bandwidth is not parsed out in increments per XX number of users or per server. It's all there all the time, for every server. Usage and availability to one particular server varies throughout the day.
