I have no working knowledge of cpanel but If public_html is indeed your document root then you haven't copied the files over correctly. You'll notice that http://hachimarudenbase.com/ is empty. Show us a screenshot of the contents of your public_html/ directory.

Digital Ocean and Linode are my go-to's. Same price points and both have excellent documentation / guides / tutorials. If you're looking to mess around with an unmanaged server you'll be just fine with a $10/mo plan, probably even a $5/mo plan. The good thing about these providers is you can...

Hey I just wanted to thank you for the info and add a little follow-up. As soon as I migrated from XF1 to XF2 everybody automagically had their 'letter' avatar. Thanks again @Jeremy P

Currently, there's a couple lines we can drop in config.php that'll allow data/ and js/ to be served from a CDN. With XF1 we could also edit the style and change the "Path to Images" to which allowed the entire style to be served from the CDN as well. This was step 7 of this guide. This...

VPS's can't handle it? reddit.com is entirely in the cloud, on Amazon AWS. Imagine: autoscaling. The ability to spin up VMs as traffic grows, and the ability to kill those VMs as traffic goes away. Automatically. Without human intervention. They also have Amazon RDS which is essentially a...

What was the problem? You know, for the next generation of googlers? https://xkcd.com/979/ :)

What does your existing .htaccess look like? Do you have something like this in there? RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L] Alternately, depending on your filesystem layout (if you have, for example, a /var/www/example.com and a...

With VirtualBox you can essentially create your own VPS on your home PC, break it, then re-install it as many times as you want until you get comfortable with it. Just grab an Ubuntu ISO or a CentOS ISO and you're ready to rock and roll. If you really want to go nuts try FreeBSD. At that...
