Hosting support

I have built a site using Drupal 7 and am trying to get it from my local server to my hosting companies server. I have transferred the site files to the ftp and imported the database to the hosting company. I requested that the site be placed in a testing environment and when they and I go to that URL we see the Drupal installation page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Two of my sites are under attack by registration bots. I get upwards of 7 bot hits/minute on one site. This in-itself is not the end of the world. But these hits by bots eat up my shared server resources and I am threatened with suspension. I maintain the bot attacks are against the server, not the site. The hosting company refuses to agree. Their sales people always try to sell VPS and/or ded servers. That's not a solution.

Hello Community,

Next week, I will receive two servers. I am planning to use one for MySQL and the other for the Web Server (Apache/PHP). This configuration should host +/- 50 Drupal small sites (low traffic).

The first server is : 32Gb / 2 Xeon E5-2024 / No Raid (Dell PowerEdge T420)
The second server is : 24Gb / 1 Xeon E5-2024 / No Raid (Dell PowerEdge T320)

Which one, do you think, I should assign to the Web Server? The more powerfull?

I would like to integrate an opt-in on our website.
This should be a pop-up after opening our website and then by hoovering over anything that is not our website, the pop-up should manifest itself:

Something like
"Wait, don't you want to be informed of our company? Give us your e-mail and we'll keep you posted."

Any ideas?
Thx

Hi,
I thought of migrating my Hostgator Reseller Shared Hosting to IPAGE VPS due to Hostgator imposing a max of 30-second PHP execution time. My drupal always runs out of 30 seconds with errors during checking for pending database updates.
