A customer of mine for about 2 years just left for "Greener" pastures with a big time overselling host. Out of curiosity, I did a lookup search on his new IP using domaintools.
The result revealed that his website now resides on a server that has a little over 10,000 sites hosted on it.
My question goes thus:
What type of server efficiently holds such quantity of websites or could he be in for one hell of a ride?
[url]
one of my sites "www.maishare.com"
wents down a lot per day
the strange that it's working from some places while not working from others
what i mean that when it goes down i check it at siteuptime.com and i found that its working from some places and some is down
all my other sites doesn't went down 100% uptime
i've checked the dns setting in my domain panel
Is there a way to tell how many, and the domain names, of all the sites assigned to one server or IP address on a shared hosting server? When I do a lookup on my server's IP address, it only points back to my hosting company. If I ping my domain, I get my IP address, so it seems reasonable that there's probably a way to find this out. I thought I had seen a post here about this, but searched for quite awhile, and couldn't find it.
I noticed my server's CPanel CPU Service Status went from about .4 (green) to 1.6 (red), and has pretty much stayed there the last few hours. It indicates it's a 1 CPU server. I was curious how many sites there were, and even what they were, to see if I could determine who or why the server usage is spiking.
I'm trying to learn more about hosting, and was curious about this aspect of shared hosting. I'm also looking for a way to throttle my own site to avoid causing a spike on my server. Does anyone know of a way I can ensure that my CPU usage does not exceed a predetermined amount so my hosting company won't pull the plug? Would throttling the bandwidth be possible, and perhaps a way to achieve that?
I decided to take the leap from a shared plan on godaddy to a good quality vps. I wanted to avoid the slowness and support I've experienced. Today for fun I found one of those tools that show you how many domains are sharing your ip. It says my website is on the same IP as 600 other sites! Is that all on a single server sharing resources?
I'm excited to see how my site runs on a 384mb vps. Probably even more than I need, but exciting none the less.
I am facing a strange issue with two RPG games sites that i am hosting on a 2GB ram server with softlayer, each of these sites was running on a 512MB VPS and they were doing fine but i decided to move them to better server so things run smoother when each has 50+ members online.
So the issue is when i have around 40 online members on each site, they start coughing up mysql errors, sometimes the sites just hang and stop loading, server load goes up to 3 or 4 but memory usage remains around 40%, I also notice that mysql uses the most of the CPU usage, around 75%
What i probably need is for someone to identify the cause of this, can it be an attack of some sort? or is it probably some code issues in the sites? do you recommend anyone that can have a look at this?
time for a fun thread started for no other reason than morbid curiosity.
For those who would like to brag, how many websites have you dared to cram onto a single server? I don't mean parked/aliased domains that point to a single webiste; I'm talking about separate, unique, individual websites.
I know there are a lot of shared-server hosting companies that offer to host an "unlimited" number of domains from your $5/mo. hosting account, and I'm sure there are a few crazies out there who actually allow (tens of?) thousands of websites on a single server, regardless of performance issues.
Our policy is no more than 500 unique websites per physical server. This is NOT because of resource usage problems (average CPU utilization is well below 10%) but because we want to limit the number of sites affected if a server crashes, or God forbid, gets hacked. Based on how low resource utilization is, even our P4 servers should be able to host thousands of sites without resource starvation. (P4 3.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 2x750 SATA disks in RAID1)
So how about it? It's your chance to brag. How many sites have you dared to stuff on 1 server, and what were the specs of the server?
I am about to host my sites. We have a lot of data that we do not want to put in hosting companies.
My specs are:
Intel Xeon processor
Chipset: Intel E7520
Independent PCI buses: 4
Total Slots: 3 x GB LAN
Memory capacity: 16BG DDR2 400 ECC Registered
Integrated LAN: 2 x GB LAN
Integrated Graphics: ATI age XL 8MB
Server management support: Intel Serer Management 8
RAID support: RAID 0, 1, 10, 50
Drive bays: 12 x hotswaps SATA II
Will this be okay to host around 10 websites? I am knowledgeable in Hosting hardware.

View 5 Replies View Relatedwe're a webdesign company who also sell hosting (white labled). we have over 500 websites hosted with a company (based at telehouse in london - which is a good selling point for us when selling hosting packages). Theyve been really good (reliable servers, good support, good control panel etc...). Theyve also won awards for the reliability of their servers. Unfortunatley, over the past year we've noticed theyve raised their charges by quite a bit and the support has been very poor.
My question is: does anyone reccommend a company we can move all our sites to? this is obviously business critical (not only for us but for all our clients too!), and so we want to be absolutely certain of the company and what they can offer before we move over everything.
We've thought about a dedicated server with 1&1. It would be a fraction of the cost, but I always believe in 'you get what you pay for'. could this be the case here?
i just receive an email from FDC they have this offer for me AMD 2400 2GB RAM 80GB HDD 10TB/month bandwidth CentOS DirectAdmin Proxy allowed and i have a server now it,s opteron 246 dual core with 2G ram with DA panel and 1000 G bw the proxy network i have reach 20.000 UV per day can that server from FDC well do what i need it to do or .. .. .. and can i reach 10TB with them?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI got this domain hosted on my server where i can't ping or trace it. Every setting seem to be correct, the ip address, name server...etc. and other websites hosted on the server is working fine. i can reach other websites with no problem but not this domain.
how do i trouble shoot such problem? would deleted the website and recreate solve it?
has anyone ever come across such strange problem?
One of my clients sites has just been hacked and im pretty sure its through the hosting and not the scripting, although the host us not being very helpfull.
What I want to do is see what other sites are on the shared account to see if any of them are having problems. As a coincidence the server has 'gone down' not long after being hacked which makes me think the host has pulled it.
I remember years ago (at least I hope I didnt dream it) that a website told me all the other sites on my server, probably by using some kind of reverse lookup on the IP, servers are not my strong point so I dont know.
where I can find this tool,
Im using RHE 4 + cpanel
Im considering Suhosin, in fact i am using it in other plain server were i have 1 or 2 sites. But this is a very high traffic with 300 + sites, lot of sites are using cms apps..
may it cause conflicts with this apps?
I am starting a small template based company. How many unique websites in their own unique folder can I host on a single server?
These websites would not get many hits, maybe a few hundread to a few thousand a month per site. My goal is to minimize the number of accounts I will have to open up with a web service provider.
Should I purchase 1 package per site or is there a way to get around this. Each unique site would have its own unique domain.
I have a local server who has only 1 IP. I would like to ask how to setup multiple site by using different ports. eg: site1:8080 ; site2:8081 ; site3:8083 , etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having the oddest issue. For some reason, some of the websites on my server load fine, and some take a really long time to load (2 minutes).
Now, the server load is fine, and the size of the sites aren't the issue either. I've restarted Apache and a couple more services, and still the same sites seem to load very slow.
What could be causing this since it's only effecting certain websites?
I've searched a bit on this topic, but noone seems to have any resolutions: I have a myriad of different websites on a server, and want to balance resources. What and how are the best ways to do this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo this is a new problem for me, and I have no idea what could be broken?
My server works, but none of the sites load.
Server ip is 69.162.121.170, one of the sites is bloghost.cl
Where should I start looking? When you try to visit the site it just tells you it cant establish a connection. All I did was restart the server today, and now nothing works
now i disable .htaccess in all sites from
<Directory "/">
Options All
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
i need to enable .htaccess in only one site or two sites in server
how can i make that?
I have had my websites hosted with 1and1.fr for nearly 3 years now and have never had the slightest issue with them. I used to host a static average traffic website plus a punBB forum and some low traffic joomla based websites (nothing that needs much power as you can see).
A week ago, I bought a website (wordpress blog) and the guy included two proxies in the sale. I installed the two proxies and had a lot of trouble installing the wordpress blog so I moved it to another host where it now works all right. However, I am still getting 500 Internal Server Errors on my initial host (I thought it was caused by the wordpress blog) on all my websites hosted at 1and1 and it happens almost every other page!
I have many questions:
- are the proxies the cause?
- how can I know my websites have been moved to another server?
- do you think a VPS can solve the problem, or do I need a dedicated server?
- what is the best solution for hosting proxies?
I have sent a ticket to them yesterday and I am still waiting!
Does someone know some cheap online backup sites for my server? I have a 1600gb dedicated server and I can only pay trough paypal.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have any experience having your server in the US and having to move over to Asia? Will my websites be too slow to work on while I'm over in Thailand?
I have my VPS in California, and I might be going to Thailand for about half a year or more. I like to know if I could still work on my websites and upload some files or would it be too lagy to work?
If you check out [url], you can see that its not running super fast. The load is nothing, iostat, vmstat, etc don't show anything out of the ordinary. Is there anything else I can do to see what might be causing it? Am I just in need of some good mysql optimization?

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Nothing as far as i can see has changed on the server.
I cant access plesk control panel due to network restrictions but have command line access.
what could of caused this blanket ban?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have seen 1 vps provider having very poor ping results in few online ping sites and they have a very cluster slow loading pages as well.
One of my friend has a package with them, the ping results are very poor even for him as well. Just made an traceroute found its on some node1.vpsprovider.com
Ya, one more major important similarity noticed was, the vps provider emails weren't set properly to yahoo mail, and my friend's emails sent from the server to yahoo weren't delivered as well.
So if the vps provider has poor content may be due to firewall or internal settings do the systems under the node also be affected?
I have no problems with my host so nothing to be worried about, but need to help him as he is just starting it out with a cheaper vps
Today I reboot my server. And after that my sites are not opening.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI run a Free web hosting service on my server with XPanel script installed. It has around 47K accounts in all. Recently i started getting mails from e-bay, banks and many other institutions regarding the Phishing sites operating from my server for cheating their customers / members. Though i removed them but i have to do it manually and after getting mails from them.
Now that i dont want any more such site to run from my hosting site, What are the options available for me in order to check all accounts automatically and remove any such site on its own? As there are 47K accounts and 100+ new signups each day, it is not possible to check all accounts manually.
I want any script / addon which can check all possible Phishing / Spamming / Spurious / Fraud sites and intimate me/ delete them upon request. Any person using such services? I need your guidance + support.

I own two large hacking // gaming sites and host a few others. I need a company that can offer fully managed, secure,ddos protected, fast dedicated servers.
A big thing with me is if someone sends my hosting company a message saying, HEY your server is hosting hacks or illegal material, the company wont just go OH OK and shut down the server.
