Now that DNSReport is forcing logins/charging users for accounts does anyone know of any alternatives?
I can't seem to find anything remotely decent throughout my search engine hunts!
One of my favorite web tools, dnsreport dot com, has gone pay only apparently
Is there any other service that is as close to advanced with the nice breakdown it does? Perhaps some tool I can install on one of my own servers?
I know the super skilled will says oh just run this, that and the other command line tool for the same info but I really liked the way they did it and how it explained the details.
I have a vps, I setup the nameservers last night I think. But here is the dns report for my domain name, although I just changed the domain to propigate from the old host to my vps using the name servers.
I want to know if the faluires are to do with the domain not being propageted completly to the new vps, or if they are a different problem.

Ran a dnsreport on my domain, everything is ok except on thing:
Mail server host name in greeting
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record. domainconcern.com claims to be host server.host.com [but that host is at xxx.xxx.67.2 (may be cached), not xxx.xxx.67.3].
Is this normal? I mean, the domain is using a dedicated IP anyway.
I did an OS reload and I decided to setup my own nameservers. Previously I have my sites using everydns.net
Now I added the two nameservers I created to my Godaddy account (the nameservers that point to everydns are still there,) and they are updated.
I added the A records inside my zone to point to the ip address.
Dns report shows theseerrors:
AIL: You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The followingnameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for yourdomain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (therefore, theymay or may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers returnthem in the authority section for other reques5.4.1). You need to make sure that these stealth nameservers areworking; if they are not responding, you may have serious problems! TheDNS Report will not query these servers, so you need to be very carefulthat they are working properly.
gogol.ithaki.net.
schubert.ithaki.net.
This islisted as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problemscan occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers andthe NS records point to your own domain, for example).
Your DNS servers leak stealth information in non-NS requests:
Stealth nameservers are leaked [gogol.ithaki.net.]!
Stealth nameservers are leaked [schubert.ithaki.net.]!
Thiscan cause some serious problems (especially if there is a TTLdiscrepancy). If you must have stealth NS records (NS records listed atthe authoritative DNS servers, but not the parent DNS servers), youshould make sure that your DNS server does not leak the stealth NSrecords in response to other queries.
ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
server.ithaki.net: Timed out [Last data sent: [Did not connect]]
Ifthis is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40seconds for responses, so your mail *may* work fine in this case butyou will need to use testing tools specifically designed for suchsituations to be certain.
I run a DNSReport.com test for my domain name and it failed on "Mail" section with this error message:
HTML Code:
ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
my-domain.com: Timed out [Last data sent: RCPT TO: ]
If this is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40 seconds for responses, so your mail *may* work fine in this case but you will need to use testing tools specifically designed for such situations to be certain.
also on DNSReport.com mail test, got this error message:
HTML Code:
my-domain.com. - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [Could not connect: Could not receive data: Operation timed out.]
[Note that if your mailserver takes over 30 seconds to respond, our test will timeout, even though real mailservers will wait longer] what makes my server failed on this test?
there are a few Hosting companies that actually charge for Setting up your account,most of the Companies that were doing this in the past have reconconcilled their Terms and are now looking to not charge for setting up one's account.
Do you guys think this is a way of overcharging or is it Just Necessary?
I found out that now LiquidWeb is charging $15 per domain for using their name servers.
That's right. To use their name servers, you need to pay $15 for EACH and EVERY domain name.
When I first joined I talked to support because I needed a solution that used an anonymous domain server and they said that they could do it with no problem. (We're talking about under 100 domains total)
Now that all my servers are moved there, they screw it all up by charging $15 per domain.
I HIGHLY Recommend staying away from this company until they fix this issue.
I have private nameservers but the whole fact of me signing up with them was the fact that they could provide name servers.
The worst part is that there was no notice, no email, nothing notifying me of this change. It just happened one day.
I'll be posting on my blog (sig) and recommending all the people I have referred don't use their services.
I have got a dedicated server running Fedora Core 7.
My problem is that I am trying to run yum updates using the default repos and it failes to respond and check any mirrors?
I have tried to disable ipv6 and changed some tcp timeout settings along with the resolver.conf name servers and has appeared to fix the wget timeouts but yum is still slow.
if any of you know the charging amps of a smart ups 3000 or 2200(I cant find it on the apc site)?... I'm thinking to use it to charge a 48v golf cart... anything bad about doing this?.. I'm thinking the golf cart batteries are too large and may take a couple days to charge with the ups...

Fairly new VPS running centos + cpanel
Getting very slow dns lookups > 4 seconds, sometimes as long as 10 seconds, via both php and shell ping tests, etc. Pinging via IP is very fast.
named is running (tried restart, no change)
In cpanel the resolvers are set to the proper datacenter Nameserver IPs.
I would like to do an informal survey of Datacenter managers on what you are charging colo clients for IP addresses. And are your costs for aquireing additional IPs from ARIN increasing.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI was using a server from dedicatedbox until last month. And I didn't want suffer anymore from their terrible service (IP taken away/provided less memory then ordered/down time/rarely answered support tickets/refused to fix problem after phone call), so I terminated my server last month. So my server was indeed shutdown as requested.
But after terminating the server, they still keeps sending bills and charing me. I have my credit card charged back the first bill. But seems that they are going to charge me another time this month. I tried to call them, but the phone call wasn't answered.
how could I stop them from making trouble?
Is there a way you can hide from the whois lookups how many site's you have hosted on your server? Like, for the reverse IP, usually it'll mention how many sites are hosted on the server when you do a whois lookup.
Is there a way to prevent it from doing that?
I am trying to debug a dns problem.
What I need is for you to do a dns lookup and report:
1) the address that was returned, the last octect will do.
2) the area of the world you queried from
The answers *will* vary because the dns server is geolocation enabled. Or, at least they *should* vary. But, someone claims its buggered.
The host name to lookup is:
ssl.dnsmasq.com
when I enable csf my server looses the ability to do an nameserver lookups. It doesn't seem like port 53 is being blocked, I've added the 2 nameservers in /etc/resolve.conf to my csf.allow file, but still nothing. Outgoing mail fails because it can't lookup domain names, I've tried nslookup from the command line and it times out. I'm out of ideas. Am I wrong about looking at port 53? Do I need to whitelist some other IP I'm missing? This is a RHEL5 server.

Powweb's regular monthly charge is $7.77... Long term customers have been paying this for years, and it's still the price listed on their main page. It's even the price new customers will pay...
However, existing customer for some reason now have to pay the undocumented price of $8.77 a month.
Way to treat your existing customers! Charging them more for no reason other than they've been loyal!
I know there is chargeback and all, but here in our country.. I heard from my lawyer I could get sued if I charge back, and banks here generally does not approve of such actions.
Anyways, I have a really lousy windows reseller provider and I will be moving the remaining accounts out soon, since their support is no longer responding to anything I ask...
What I fear is the monthly billing will still continue, and I have no means of demanding them to end it..
Would I get into trouble if I decide to just close my cc instead?
DNS lookups against domains on my server are suddenly failing. The /etc/resolv.conf shows 3 entries for uplink DNS servers at my provider (theplanet). Bind is running, too.
What else could cause this? All sites are accessible via IP, but not by name anymore.

The upgrade has an error when manage the users database.
PRODUCT, VERSION, VERSION OF MICROUPDATE, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE
OS Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 x64
Panel version 11.5.30 Update #13, last updated at Sept 1, 2013 03:30 PM
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
In a costumer panel have a one database MSSQL, and assign to this DB 3 users, but the tab option "Users" don't work fot his costumer and show this error:
Error Javascript:
TypeError: template is null
this.template = template.toString(); in protototype.js 8472831 (lÃnea 807)
ACTUAL RESULT
Error Javascript:
TypeError: template is null
this.template = template.toString(); in protototype.js 8472831 (lÃnea 807)
EXPECTED RESULT
Show users in the tab users for database.
On my server, users can connect to any database as long as they have the database user and password. This makes it easier to hack any database on the server.
What I want to do is to make the users can only connect to their own databases and not other's.
I tried changing the localhost ip address but it didn't work ( I assume I didn't do it the right way)
I was wondering if there are any other CDN provider offering cdn solutions at a similar or lower pricing than SimpleCDN?
Is there any alternative around? Or they are the only one to provide cdn in that price range?
Wanting to know my options for Alternatives to UltraDNs.
I know UltraDNS work's fine (for deep pocketed one's), but I Do NOT want to get Bankrupt using its services, it's just way out expensive.
Any one know of a better auto streaming program as I keep having trouble with my shoutcast server.
It constantly needs rebooted and has issues where people have trouble connecting.
I'm on a shared host right now and my server doesn't have the mod_auth_mysql installed. I was wondering if there were any additional alternatives for authenticating content using information from my CMS Users table? If I posted in the wrong forum, I apologize in advance as this topic could go either way, programming or server configuration. Thank you for your valued time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedPurchased a 3-month test period on a dedicated server a few days back but directadmin failed to boot from the outset, support wiped everything and reinstalled onto another partition which worked fine for about 12hrs.
Now I can't even FTP, tried rebooting from service centre etc. nada! probably hardware failure, Prices seemed too good to be true , glad I didn't move my entire site across [active forum with over 10,000 members] as the response time seems to be in days rather than hours.
Any reliable alternatives offering similar packages for similar money?
i've been having huge problems with bqbackup, and now i'm looking for alternatives...
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have been using hostingfest for a few months now, I had no issues and was very happy as they offered 1000mb space and 10GB b/w, also 3 sql 2005 dbs included and its space subject to the total space, so no restriction on db space.
Since yesterday it has started to bother me, the server is down! no reply from the support staff, which is unusual as they are very fast otherwise.
So i am thinking of a replacement now... cannot afford my site to be down for long

I just found out that I cannot edit the text in the templates provided by RVSiteBuilder for my clients. Only clients can edit the text after they sign up with me. Which defeats the whole purpose for my needs. Are there any other programs similar to RVSiteBuilder where I can edit the text in the templates and not just pictures?
View 0 Replies View RelatedWe were looking at a server on Rackspace for $300/month, but I wanted to see if there are any reputable companies which can provide a similar service for a bit less money.
Technically we could go with RackSpace, but there's got to be a service just like RackSpace but costing less? Our site only receives approximately 500-600 unique visitors per day, but once every two months or so we get a huge spike in traffic. Our current hosting provider has us on a VPS plan (we pay $80/mo) and today the server crashed because of a huge amount of traffic. We run an e-commerce site with many SQL queries involved, etc. I'm looking for a well established company.
