Correct and I can help you conjur with that, do you have AIM or MSN?

Do you have SSH access on your thrillhost account?

Thrillhost allows jailshell by request only.

Ok...I had a .zip file of the yagt portion of conjur.com and uploaded it via the Restore Home Backup and it now displayed a page saying "Restoring Files" and it's just sitting there.

FTPing in I don't see anything different.

Is this how it's done??

hmmm

Another question to anyone with experience on a reseller account:

When you create a new account for a separate domain (not an addon or subdomain...a totally separate account) and the IP address assigned is the same as the 'host' domain you created, how does traffic get routed to the new domain?

IOW, I created conjur.com at thrillhost and am trying to add yagt.org as a new domain but I get the same IP address. That just doesn't seem right. And Thrillhost has not yet responded...thought they had 24/7 support.

You don't need a static IP address, here's how you use your WHM (web hosting manager)

1) NEVER EVER assign an IP to a domain unless you have a static IP address (which most of us do not)
2) The package comes first then you create an account. Multiple accounts (domains) can use the same package but it's important to remember create the package first THEN create the account.
3) While creating the package never leave any field with UNLIMITED, change it to a number value.

It might be messy moving yagt.org to thrillhost since it was an addon domain ... also I do remember a while back advising you get a REAL resellers account instead of using the messy cPanel addon domain feature. If you had a resellers account from the start it would be very easy to move yagt.org. So told ya so

I'll call you this weekend and try to help you out with your questions.
