We have two servers, one in our office, and the other in a colocation. There is a site-to-site VPN connection between them. I want to add the server in the office as a network place/drive to the server in the colocation, but I can't get it to work. I tried putting the local ip of the server in the office, didnt work.
Then I tried OFFICESERVERNAMESHARENAME and that didnt work either.
Office Server Local IP: 192.168.0.202
Colocation Local IP: 192.168.1.2
Just a question about hosting your site in the same country where your main targeted visitors is located. It is my belief that I should host my sites in the same country where I the targeted visitors are. Am I correct in saying this??
So.. US Focus Site should be hosted in the US Canadian Focus Site should be hosted in Canada And UK Focus Site would be hosted in the UK??????
I have a VPS and when I signed up I was told by the provider that the server was based in a UK datacentre. However, I've just done a search on the IP address for my VPS and it comes up as 'The IP address is assigned to France'.
Does this mean the server's actually located in France?
right now i am under the impression, i can buy a server from dell or so for say $1200 - $3000, and then pay like 20 - 50 to have them placed at a datacenter with a dedicated internet line and all that?
if that is true, can i take my equipment at home (making sure there the right size box, obviously im guessing , dc's do not take full towers to be placed), and send them out?
I am thinking that this way, I can load linux, or whatever OS on it, install whatever extensions I need, do whatever, and have a dedicated server to my self for less then 50$ /month.
What happens when it fails? do they send it back to you? i would like that, since I can recover my files and stuff.
People dont do this because: 1) parts are not warrantied 2) its too costly and time consuming to load them with control panels and security software/hardware.
I have some idea of what it is, I make contract with a data center and have my server located on their place.
What I need to know about is, how does all of the fees work, and what does some of this stuff means?
- 1u vs. Full rack vs. cabinet vs. tower
- BGP network
- what is Bandwidth billed on port speed or on 95th percentile.
- Tier 1 and Tier 2, and the Level 3 label
- Amp Needed
- Installation (Is this the process of connecting the server with wires and power, or is this also software installation?)
- What other costs are there?
Thank you anyone who can help. If you have an article with this kind of info, I be happy. I will try to find this info on my own, but I might not find everything I need to know so I am also asking it from here.
I live in Turkey. I'm gonna buy a reseller package from Hostgator which is located in Texas. I will mostly make websites in English language for business(affiliate websites) but I decided to make 2 websites in Turkish language for a hobby of mine. Should I buy hosting from a company in Europe or can I still go with Hostgator? I really like Hostgator's package but how much disadvantage would there be in terms of speed? Would people be able to tell by speed whether the server is close or not? Is there a way to test it? All my friends' computers have a speed around 100kb download per second.
I have seen a number of threads that specify location (mostly US) as a critereon for VPS selection. I am based in India and looks like there are vew VPS providers here and most of the VPS providers are located in the US (some in the UK as well).
Anyone know of a listing of hosting companies based on the location of their offices? I don’t care where their servers are but I would like to know that I am dealing with a company that is local. (By the way, I live in the northern part of Virginia and I consider metro DC and all of Virginia to be local.)
I have a local server named as 'EPBX' which monitors the working of the telephone system and makes their log entries. Recently its HDD partition got crashed due to which it was formatted and had re-installed Windows server 2003 after which I am facing some problems as given below:
- The IP address assigned to this server is 192.168.100.2. I am able to ping the IP but unable to take the console of the software from some other local PC.
- Also when I try to trace the IP using the tracert command first it resolves to the ISP's router and then to the server. But the router is not at all asigned a local IP. I have assigned a global IP to it. (Screen shot of the same has been attached)
- It would be very difficult for me to change the IP address
I was wondering about these questions for a co-location server to make it easy
i.What is the best Os in your opinion, preferably an open source=lower expenses and licensing
ii.What should you look for when looking for a provider e.g power/bandwidth and how would go about doing that? Can these providers give international coverage?
iii.What is your best estimet of cost it would take to build a 3U rack server with firewall..switches the whole lot?
iv.Do you find that your servers are extremely noisy?
v.What is your recommened network topography works best with these servers e.g start, ring,bus etc?
With my New York location settling in, I'm now looking for a new host to Co-Locate with in Texas.
We host game servers, so I'm looking for premium bandwith. We currently host with softlayer, and I couldn't be happier, but we really need to cut the costs of renting hardware.
I know that Texas has numerous options for co-location, but before I search through hundreds of sites, I thought I would ask here first.
I'm trying to build a list of 5-10 hosts so I can send off for quotes.
Anyways, here are the details of what I need, any assistance is always appreciated.
im planning to setup a loadbalencer system soon and im wanting to redirect users based on their location, im wondering if anyone knows how best to do this (servers will be hosting streaming media and load balancer will be la linux based server
Co-Location / Dedicated hosting but it wouldn't work out as I didn't live close enough. Well I'm moving into boston (Wentworth) for college so now I'm looking at renting a Dedicated Server or a Co-Location spot and was wondering if anyone on here worked in boston at a data center or had any to recommend. I'm also looking to get sometype of internship / job at one as that's the field im studying at Wentworth.
I have never tried co-location before, I was looking at the 10U co-location with a 10Mbit/s unmetered port [url]
What I wanted to know was if anyone has had experience with LiquidWeb in general and more important with their co-location facilities?
I'm in the U.K. - what couriers do you guys use to ship your server(s), I assume it can be quite costly?
Does anybody have any other recommendations for co-location providers? I'm also looking at co-location in the U.K. but with more expensive bandwidth etc I'm thinking its best off hosting my servers in the USA as I do with most of my dedicated.
Another question - where do you buy your hardware/servers from (looking at places in the UK)?
At the moment our MSSQL defaults to backing up db's to C:/Windows/Temp. On some occasions it backups up to the sql backup folder. Any ideas where these settings exist in MSSQL Management Studio?
We currently have two vps's one in chicago and one in dallas. We have our primary in chicago because we figured fewer hops=faster load times for website. is this really true?
right now we get pings around 35-60ms to chicago and 60-170ms to dallas. does this major difference really amount to anything?
My basic VPS backup plan is to have WHM create a backup for me, save it somewhere on my local VPS, and then rsync it off site.
As a beginner with linux, I'm not sure where to have WHM put this file. Is there a recommended place to place this backup file -- it will only be there temporarilly, but I don't know a secure place to put it.
e.g. /home or should I create a new directory called /backups? (and if so -- once again, where in the directory tree do I put it?)
I work for a company that does business mainly in California but we have people all over the country including Boston and NYC. I'm looking for dedicated servers and found good pricing/service in Chicago but worried about response times for my Cali folks. I'm hosting a non public web app that everyone needs to use so the load is low and response times are not super critical.
Will my users experience noticable latency?
Also people that manage the servers may be in Cali as well. Will they find it fustrating to remote into these windows servers and manage them or will it be acceptable or should I find something closer to california?
