Setup Custom Nameservers with WHM and GoDaddy

So yesterday’s task was to setup private nameservers for a site or two. Why setup private nameservers? Because you don’t always want everyone knowing where it is that you are hosting your stuff. I guess if you’re a reseller of some sort and trying to do branding that would be one reason to do private stuff too. That way, you can have hosting customer just slap on a “ns1” and “ns2” to their...

SQL Lifesaver for WordPress Duplicate Posts

Okay, if you haven’t done it before…  Some of us need to make sure we get content up on our blogs regardless of how busy we get.  And sometimes, this can get out of hand. In a big way. “I have 58,126 posts… WTF??”  Yes, the AutoBlog poster from the folks at WPMU Dev DOES […]

Okay, if you haven’t done it before…  Some of us need to make sure we get content up on our blogs regardless of how busy we get.  And sometimes, this can get out of hand. In a big way. “I have 58,126 posts… WTF??”  Yes, the AutoBlog poster from the folks at WPMU Dev DOES do its job.  I have to say, there probably should be a setting to avoid duplication – as of those 58,126 posts, there were only...

Internet Acting Wonky?

I know there were problems going on yesterday with the internet. Assistant Victoria Polischak complained of nasty lags and all that. I personally wasn’t seeing anything atrocious though I DO believe that there is a new WordPress bot attack gearing up. I saw a slew of new “Large number of failed login attempts”. We use […]

I personally wasn’t seeing anything atrocious though I DO believe that there is a new WordPress bot attack gearing up. I saw a slew of new “Large number of failed login attempts”. We use WordFence to keep most of this crap at bay, but bots still end up sucking up a LOT of resources just...

Locked out of InfiniteWP – IP Change

Ouch.  So the Time Warner guy was here yesterday.  After three weeks of bouncing modem router type fun, finally got disgusted with it.  It had become obvious that their network was just not THAT bad and it was obviously a hardware problem here. Other problems that you may be searching for – can’t access InfiniteWP, […]

Ouch.  So the Time Warner guy was here yesterday.  After three weeks of bouncing modem router type fun, finally got disgusted with it.  It had become obvious that their network was just not THAT bad and it was obviously a hardware problem here. Other problems that you may be searching for – can’t access InfiniteWP, InfiniteWP lockout. There’s probably a few others, but hopefully if someone is IN crisis mode, much as...
