So I'm wondering what if anything I can do to get a better ping from my 1and1 server.
It's located in Wayne, PA and my ping floats around 70ms and I'm in South Lake Tahoe, CA. I only ask because there are servers with Peer1 hosted in New York, NY that give me a ping around 20ms.
Thanks for any help or advice.
Its a Windows Server 2008 Web Box.
15ms ping vs 40ms ping vs 170ms ping
Which you think is still acceptable for a website?
I want to buy vps server from 1and1.com but I am from Turkey. 1an1 said me " The dedicated server packages are only available for US and Canada only ". For this reason I cant buy VPS server from 1and1. is there anybody sell vps and dedicated from 1and1? or does anybody help me for buying vps or dedicated server. I can pay broker price.
I want to use 1and1 because when I send email on 1and1 based server, all mail to inbox. I am building Email hosting company in TURKEY. If you know other hosting company as 1and1. all email going to go inbox. I may work with him.
I have 2 CPanel servers. I wanted to transfer multiple accounts via WHM but it gives me error that I cannot SSH into the other server.
I tried to ping the 2nd server from 1st server and it gives me:
root@s [~]# ping xxx.xxx.xxx.7
PING xxx.xxx.xxx.7 (xxx.xxx.xxx.7) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
cping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
I added both server IP into allowed list inside my APF firewall on each server as well.
I rebooted both server earlier before, but it is still not solving my problem.
I have a problem with my server, that i can't not ping
Quote:
[root@server apf-0.9.6-2]# ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com
But i can log in the ssh. i just installed apf, i check conf.apf to made sure there are port 80, but it still can't ping.
i am hosting a GunZ Server on a VPS,
i wana to open 2 servers, ( Quest / clan ) 2 names,
but, i can'T open the 2, only 1 if i opened the 2 one of them is getting for all palyers 999 ping ( Agent Error )...
well this is may caused by AE, how can i fix this?
I have a domain name for example test.com, and have subdomains for it 1.test.com and mail.test.com

Please note that is all is working fine over a 3 year just stopping today
Server load is under 1, nearly 0 io.
Ping between 200-300, normally it is around 50.
DC says their network is fine and it is my server.
So load under 1, almost no hard drive access, why is the ping so high?
globichen can explain about this.
ping timeout happen frequently.
this is the 2nd time happen in a week
i've submit a ticket regarding about this
customer service replies with server is online.
i'm not bashing their service but frequently ping timeout really makes my business down lately.
Loading website takes a few min & even couldn't access to server due to ping timeout.
I just installed a fresh new server with CSF
Soon I find out that my ping keeps dropping. The server was smoothly running, SSH is smooth, Website are loading fine, except I cannot ping my server. I disable SELINUX completely and it still doesn't help.
When I disable CSF, my server ping are responding back!
So I remove CSF installation and reinstall CSF, the same problem appear
How can I solve this issue?
My kernel is 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5PAE running on latest version of cPanel on CentOS 5.1
I 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?

Has anyone here used/using a 1and1 dedicated server?

From looking at details of what you get it looks great but when you see a good deal you just to question it.
I have a problem with one of my domain. Some users around the world cannot access the website, but they can ping and traceroute the server without any problems. I am able to access the website perfectly.
Site URL is www.djluv.in
And we are using IPB 2.2
Moreover if theres another domain on the same server, they can access it.
There are about 25-30 users who are facing this problem, but from different part of the world so I cant even say ISP problem.
APF has been shutdown, no Ban Filters on IPB or cpanel.
What are the possible reasons why they couldn't access the website? how to fix the problem?
I'm currently running a dedicated managed business server with 1and1 (UK).
As most of you know their level of service leaves a lot to be desired, and from personal experience this has been dropping even more in the past year. Emails to their support staff sometimes take days before I get a reply. And I've been experiencing server downtime that has sometimes lasted for hours before the server has finally been rebooted, and that from a managed dedicated server plan!
Today for example the server went offline at about 11:00 GMT and didn't go back online until 16:00 GMT, so it was down for 5 hours! Even though I had tried to contact the support staff a number of times during this period. This kind of downtime happens at least once per month and I also get a couple of other shorter periods of downtime most months.
I run a site that has been growing in size steadily over the past couple of years, but I don't think it is overloading the server, so I don't think it is anything I've done that keeps crashing and taking the server offline.
The site is currently getting about:8,000 unique visitors per day.
600,000 page views per month.
60GB of bandwidth per month (this is increasing by about 5GB per month).
20GB HD space (but content is constantly expanding so will eventually need at least 50GB)
But even earlier last year when the site's traffic was still only 20GB a month with 3500 unique visitors per day the server was just as unstable!
I've checked the server logs and the server load is averaging at 1.02 with a peak of 2.62, CPU usage is averaging 24% with a peak of 56% and all other system resources are quite low. Are those figures acceptable? I personally thing they look fine and can't see what could be crashing the server.
Could my site's database access activity be crashing the server? The site uses between 26-80 sql queries per page due to the site being a database directory of over 5000 page entries, with each containing a mix of ajax and web2 technologies to deliver its content. Is that creating a high load on the DB server? Not sure as the server, as mentioned above, only has an average CPU load of 1.02.
Anyway. I'm less than happy with the level of support and service from 1and1 for a managed dedicated server. Even if the server does crash, it should be rebooted quite quickly as it is supposed to be managed. So I'm now actively looking for a new dedicated server.
What would you all recommend based on the current load and traffic my site currently requires?
Budget wise I current spend about £60 ($120) per month so don't really want to spend any more than that if possible.
I am facing high ping and packet loss issues with a server hosted at hetzner.de (CentOS + WHM)
For some unknown reason pings go high and stay like this (average 1500ms) until I reboot the server.
Here is a screenshot of tracert from server to me: [url]
I'm having a very odd problem with one of my Linux (CentOS) cpanel server, all the server's services (http, ssh, mail, dns, etc) stop responding but the server still responds to ping.
I can't find anything wrong at all on the log files either, and the technicians that manually restart the server have told me that there is no indication of a problem on the screen.
I suspected a hardware issue and had the data center techs run a hardware test on the server but everything cleared ok.
This issue started a couple of weeks ago, no major upgrade or install took place when it started happening. From what i can see the halts are completely random, some times it goes for days without it happening and some times it happens just hours after the reboots.
I have a lynix root server with 1and1.com and recently the server has been going down I have no access to FTP/the sites or root. Their support tells me to look in var/log but im not sure what file to look in or what im looking for as far as to why the server would crash.
So far my solution has been to re boot the server and it has been working but i need to find the cause of this...any suggestions on where to look or what to look for?
My server hosted with 1and1.co.uk (and therefore in Germany) has been down since 6PM UK time (20 hours ago) - support is just excruciatingly bad - the structure they have set up to make sure the actual datacentre people aren't customer facing is atrocious... you can't speak to anyone who knows anything, it's so frustrating.
I'm writing this to ask if anyone else has a root server in Germany as the latest fob off is that a router CPU has gone down knocking all those root servers offline. I'm surprised to not have seen any other threads from disgruntled customers if that were the case. They even added the router is in Canada... which begs the question - why would that knock out my German server??
My server isn't even accessible by the serial console and the reboot/recovery system isn't restoring it - they swear it's network related, but surely I'd be able to get in via the serial console?
This is winding me up good and proper, I can't concentrate on any other work and I just find myself trying to find other ways of getting any kind of real information out of 1and1 given their complete lacklustre attitude to coming forward with any themselves. 1 hour of downtime I can put up with, 20 hours without a hint of belivable feedback is just unacceptable...
how to allow the Anonymous FTP - Plesk in 1and1 dedicated server?
I could see the button there but it's disabled! I think I have done all I needed to be able to access to it, but it's still "offline".
http://1and1.com
I've had a couple dedicated servers with 1and1 for a while now(about 6mos). I have to say that my overall experience was pretty good. At the time the prices where pretty good, and are very comparable to most hosts. I received the speeds promised, the server was setup very quickly.
The only negative I had with the server was the kernel. I attempted to install vmware on they system however they did not have the headers needed by GCC to compile vmware. It was an annoyance, but I just opted to update the kernel since there where a few releases since their custom built kernel was made. Once I was running the new kernel the vmware process went smoothly, and everything worked perfectly.
As for 1and1's support team, I have to say their standard support I would not rate a 10/10, however their dedicated server support team, and one particular rep I've come to know in their sales / abuse department (more on the abuse dpt. later) are very knowledgeable. And always addressed any issues or questions promptly. Which honestly no issues besides vmware stand out in my mind, which was just a minor inconvenience, which you would find on most hosts. Since its an un-managed root server your responsible for keeping the system up to date, and run the latest kernels anyway right?
Ok, so I mentioned I came to know a rep out of the abuse department of sales. Now this isn't particularly related to my dedicated servers but I did have one of their hosting packages. Well I never kept tabs on the site and the scripts had a couple vulnerabilities, php5 wasn't enforced.
Anyway to make a long story short, the site was hacked and fake bank sites and other scripts where loaded onto the server. Which is where The abuse department came into play. Now I know (getting off topic, but it may be the same with a dedicated server) hosting companies don't want to run sites like these, and I thought that the way these companies usualy handle these types of situations are to send a take-down notice to their client, as its possible they may not even know its there. But 1and1 opted to completely disable all access to the server, http, ftp, ssh, everything. So at first I didn't know what happend. I call up tech support that night(prob around midnight -- 24/7 tech support is always great), they let me know the account was dissabled do to an abused related complaint. They told me I would have to wait until morning when their sales department opens(as abuse is located in sales).
So I call up the number they gave me the next morning. And meet Bob (I'm calling him bob because his name escapes me at the moment). He was very pleasant and understanding that I needed my site up as soon as possible. He looked at my account he saw I had been with them for about a year and a half, and said he didn't think I had posted any of the content anyway(he disabled it himself imagine that haha). He emailed me links to all the files in question, informed me that php5 was not forced and recomed I fix it. Since that was the only reason we had this isue in the first place. He was also able to tell me what files the hacker used to exploit and gain access to the server, as well as searched the the user directory for any backdoor scripts. Which he did find some and sent me the locations in the email.
So, finally we got of the phone he re-enabled the server. I went through the email went through everything, I just opted to delete everything as i felt the whole system was compromised anyway, and re-upload the site. I forced php5 for all php scripts and never heard anything about it again... and the site still runs today!
Their normal tech support isn't all the great, at least not when it comes to apache. I inquired about mod_rewrite not working and the first rep i spoke to didn't know what i was talking about, I explained in more detail, she put me on hold for about 10-20mins and researched it. Said she found details about my issue and shot me an email. I checked the email, it contained how to moddify headers using MS ASP which has nothing to even do with my "LINUX" shared hosting plan.
I called in a second time frustrated, remember I usually talk to guys from their dedicated server support. When I spoke with the second rep. The first thing I asked Him was if he was familiar with "Apache Mod_Rewrite" (exact words) are you familiar with this, and if not can you please give me to someone that is. He assured me he knew what I was talking about, I explained the situation, and what the other rep sent me was completely off topic. He apologized and assured me he knows exactly what I'm talking about.
He sent me an email with another link to their FAQ yet again. However this time is was on creating 403 redirects in apache. Well I do admit at least they got closer this time right? I laughed and walked out of the room. Took a shower and relaxed. Finally, I decided I'd take one last look at .htaccess configs before trying another call. I played around with different setting and... eureka! I found the solution; for some reason mod rewrite on 1and1's shared hosting servers doesn't support sub-directories; that is you need to access the files in your root directory to successfully process a rewrite.
So whats the moral of the story? Call Dedicated Server Support! lol
So anyway since this is a dedicated server review. So for my Dedicated server experience I would rate it a "9 out of 10".
For my overall experience with 1and1, I would rate it an "8 out of 10". Not the best I ever had, but I would do business with them. There are other minor issues I've had with their shared hosting, but I don't feel like getting into them.
Anyway hope that helps sombody, I kno it was a long post... so for the people that read it all congrats, because I lost concentration over about 80% of that post lol
Little humor there.. anyway thanks for read'n the post... just my little contribution to WHT.

I just moved from PowerVPS to EuroVPS, being located in Europe myself, and was of course hoping for much better ping times. Also EuroVPS advertise themselves with a 30ms ping to most of Europe.
Anyway after my VPS was installed I compared the pings:EuroVPS (85.17.48.162) average ping: 335ms
PowerVPS (69.65.106.19) average ping: 129ms
335ms is of course ridiculously high, and after writing them a support ticket they told me it's probably a latency problem with my ISP
Can you please post the ping you get for 85.17.48.162 (preferably people located in Europe)?
I have configured Nagios on my network 10+ Servers (Linux+Windows) now when i check through http://localhost/nagios everything is ok but only ping command is giving following message :-
Unknown
bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 x.x.x.x
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command
and mail me "server down " message
So what is the issue ?
I am able to run this command through command line
./check_ping -H {server} -w 100.0,20% -c 500,50% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%
./check_ping -H x.x.x.x -w 300.0,80% -c 500.0,100% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%
I'm running my own OpenVZ server with a few VPS's running on it and have a small network issue.
I can't ping any VE from the HN. All the other networking is working ok (strangely I can ping the HN from the VE) apart from this. It's a simple setup with one network card connected to the internet.
OpenVZ the latest stable version running on CentOS 5.2
I'm pretty sure it's not a firewall problem but is something to do with arp or routing and one of the settings in sysctl.conf
Has anyone else seen this?
Does it matter?

i've only ever used pings to test if a host is up or down.
But what other information am i looking for in ping tests. For e.g., the time in ms the TTL etc etc?
How can i test pinging my server from different locations around the world?
