Issues you need to pay attention to when using HawkHost and repurchasing and relocating it.

I didn’t hang around with them after get off work at noon today. I just squatted at my work station to deal with the corporate website migration issues of several friends and clients I had dealt with in the early years. In the past, Snail would buy a HawkHost host every two years on Black Friday, and then leave their website alone. At least there have been no website data problems for six or seven years, so they are relatively reassured. This year's Black Friday Hawk Host release event is one day earlier than in previous years. I have also announced before that "2018 Black Friday Hawk Host is still 30% off, $21 for 2 years."

In line with the principle of saving money, the machine I have is due to expire in two days (Black Friday should be around the 24th two years ago), so I quickly bought one to migrate data. How stingy I am. I also encountered some problems during this period, so I will sort out the problems encountered here, so that in case some netizens also encounter them, they can avoid detours. Although this time it only cost less than 150 yuan, it took more than three hours.

I want to say here that although HawkHost also has VPS and other products, Snail has only used their virtual host because other products have average cost performance and their computer room is not good. Although the virtual host has six or seven data centers, including Hong Kong and Singapore, the speeds are all detours, so I still choose Los Angeles. When the speed is good during the day, the PING speed is around 180, but it is slower at night. However, the above corporate website customers are for foreign trade purposes or Chinese display type, so I don’t care if they don’t care (two of them actually haven’t done anything for several years). After renewing, I still have to post the cost of their domain name, which is stingier than me).

First, regarding the problem that new purchases cannot be activated immediately

Here is a new virtual host I opened this morning. You can see that it is not opened immediately and needs to wait for review. The first thing you see is PENGDING, you need to see ACTIVE before you can use it. At the same time, an email will be sent to us, including the FTP account and IP address.

Second, about the host IP issue

I am also troubled by this problem. I don’t know what the IP address in the email is for. The IP address in the email sent directly to us is not actually the IP address of the virtual host. Neither does the IP we see in the host panel.

The IP address we see here is not the IP address of the host at all. This IP is the same as the one that sent us the email. I'm sure many people think it is, and I used to think it was, but it doesn't work after analysis.

The real IP address is the IP address of our virtual host in the general information on the right side of the CPanel panel. Then we can log in with the FTP account and password given to us. This is the IP that our website resolves. I also wrote a work order to ask the official before, but they didn't get a clear explanation, so I stopped following it.

Third, the problem of repurchasing and relocating the website

If you are stingy like a snail, buy a new one and move it in. We need to back up the website and database locally first, and then delete the bound domain name in the additional domain of the original virtual host panel. Then add additional domains to the newly purchased Eagle host. If you don't contact it first, you can't add it. We will be prompted that the domain name is bound to an existing host.

This point is encountered in many foreign virtual hosts. Therefore, if we re-purchase the relocation data in a similar host, we must contact the binding and then add it to the new host. Of course, I have also encountered netizens who were using an overseas host before and were prompted to be bound without purchasing it again. It is estimated that this domain name has been used and bound to the system before. You can submit a work order to apply for manual cancellation. It is estimated that different merchants will require you to resolve the domain name to the server IP in advance to verify ownership.

Fourth, regarding the database PHPMYADMIN issue

This is the first time I have encountered this pitfall. Because the Eagle host is a virtual host, unlike VPS, you can directly command to import data, so it is more common to use PHPMYADMIN to import and create databases. But today I encountered something strange. After logging in, I couldn’t see the name of the added database. So I had to use a stupid method. First open a visible database in the address bar, and then modify the newly added name in the address bar. Database name, and then you can see that it can be imported.

Fifth, other questions

Nowadays, not many people use virtual hosts. They are usually used for personal websites or foreign trade websites. The main reason is that it is more difficult to build a website, and it is all about headlines and self-media. So we can see that many old virtual hosting providers have closed down or gone into decline. Or everyone joins the highly competitive cloud host market.

As for the Eagle console, it has a history of more than ten years and has its own characteristics, but it is not clear how long they can last.
