Guest jacqui00 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 First of all I would like to thank everyone who helped me solve my last problem. Thanks to you guys who posted and emailed i got my problem fixed and now have started generating sales. Again.... Thank You I do, however, have a question about servers. My website (lets call it server 1) is selling downloads but i find myself running short of space. I could buy some more storage space but I also have a different website with plenty of space going to waste (lets call this server 2). Can i run my webstore off of server 1 and when they pay and transaction is completed instead of being directed to server 1 they get sent to server 2 for download of product. I am not using the server path and am instead using a section located inside the public_html section with an index page to protect other files. this would free alot of cash for me and as a startup every penny helps. Thank you for your help in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EverythingWeb Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I dont *believe* this can be done 'easily' but I am sure with a bit of jiggery-pokery it could be done. The alternative is surely just upgrade your server1 hosting, or move it to server2 hosting? Or would you rather not...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would you rather not...? same company does both. if i cant go back and forth then i guess i have to spend the money. sigh....so much wasted space!

SemperFi Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 There is one way of doing it.... Rather than use a server root path or even one within public_html, in the product on server1 simply add the url like this: http://www.server2.com/filename.rar It will be a bit insecure, but feel free to try it.
