Amazing - Bandwidth Thief Transfer - Magic Issue

Jul 24, 2009

I am undergoing "amazing" Bandwidth thief issue. My Server is using very high bandwidth from last 7 days -

On Scanning server, i found following

1) Roundcube mail script was compromised and used by some hacking group, so i deleted that directory all together

2) I disabled Hotlinking all together

3) I found "Live Chat" script also being compromised, and found movies (.dat files) in
it amounting to 20 GB++ , i also deleted that directory

4) I have checked for each and every file, with size more than 30 MB on server.

5) I have also switched off FTP service (and there is no other user on server too)

6) After all this, i even installed "mod_bandwidth" and limited bandwidth service to 10 KBPS across domain directory

Then, i installed MRTG graphs to analyze the issue, and to my SURPRISE, nothing changed, it still used very high bandwidth, after few - few hours.

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/511/indexday.png

^^ the above image shows B/W goes upto 10 MBPS and thus breaks network.

I am now tired and exhausted of this. Can someone here, please give an expert advice on this issue?

InterServed.com - Amazing Uptimes, Amazing Speeds, Everything Is Just Amazing

Aug 9, 2008

this is my sixth post but hopefully one that will make people realize that there are a lot of great webhosting companies out there such as InterServed. One host that I've been using for over two years now, and never had a problem with them.

These guys are really great, they have moved my database from a server to another for no fee, at all! It was all done in a matter of 30 minutes, unbelievable.

They are using the latest technology (in terms of software, hardware) and are using a PHP accelerator that I just love; XCache.

I never had to use their support because their uptimes are very close to 100%, and the fact that they provide you with everything that you will ever need makes their support ticket the least visited page on their website!

I am currently using them on [url]. Surely, that is not the biggest community, I am aware of this but I know another community that uses InterServed.com as well and have the exact same speed rate, see it for yourself:

www.trancesound.net

They even offer custom deals, but you'd have to contact them for this and you'd probably have to pay for some kind of yearly package!

They setup your account almost instantly and your domain is available within a few minutes!

Please note that I am not the owner of this webhosting company and I am not making this post for "comissions", because as you can see I have not posted any referral link and do not intend to.

I just want people to discover a great company that has a lot of potential, but needs customers because contrary to popular webhosting companies, they are actually showcasing the actual technical specifications which scares off the average internet user who is looking for a webhost. Instead of showing "UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH", they are showing the actual amount of bandwidth, but like I said, that scares off the average user, unfortunately.

Bandwidth And Data Transfer

Oct 24, 2008

i came across this

Simply put, bandwidth refers to how much data can be transferred at a time. Data transfer relates to how much data is actually being transferred. Think of it this way: If bandwidth were a bridge, then the bigger the bridge, the more vehicles can pass over it. Data transfer, on the other hand, can be compared to the number of vehicles allowed on the bridge in a given period of time.

and i access to my web host manager
i see there view bandwidth usage link

so it shows usage in percentages....(increases as month passes...)

so if we go by defination, is it really bandwidth they are showing or is it data transfer they are showing to us...?

(bandwidth refers to how much data can be transferred at a time,so it is fixed ...means if 3gb is given ....then it cannot be said 80% of 3gb used.....here 3gb should mean any data higher than 3gb cannot pass ...though this site at an instance ...isn't that...)

And why is data transfer not so used term in webhosting if it that important ...means i have not seen many people saying 500gb datatransfer rather than saying 500gb bandwidth...(as it seems completely different from defination...)

From defination,data transfer seems to be more important than bandwidth...

Understanding Bandwidth And Data Transfer

Feb 18, 2007

Do you have a website or have you been involved in hosting a website for your company or some of your friends? Then you should have heard about the terms Bandwidth and Data transfer. Often there is confusion in understanding both these terms.

Bandwidth is the capacity of the network or the server that hosts the website, to send data at a moment. It is the amount of data sent per second from the server. This count more because, if there are many websites in the server and a million hits for the sites the server should be capable of sending that much of data at that moment. If the web server that you host your website has high bandwidth then the users visiting your site would see the pages quickly.

If you refer to the bandwidth there are two numbers separated by "/". The first number indicates the bandwidth that is allowed to send data and the second number indicates the bandwidth allowed to receive data. In most of the cases the bandwidth to send data is less than the bandwidth to receive data.

Data transfer is the amount of data that is sent by the server over a period of time.

For example the monthly data transfer allowed for a particular site might be 1GB. This means that the website account is allowed to transfer data from their website for only 1GB per month.

Consider that you have a page in your website that is of size 100kb. If this page is visited 100 times per month, then the data transfer added to your account would be 10 MB due to this page alone. Hence to minimize the data transfer it is always better to minimize the file size of the web page. This can be done in many ways.

You should know that a web page contains not only text but also media content such as images, sounds, videos, and downloadable files. When you create your web page you should keep in mind that you optimizing all these files so that the page loads quickly and the data transfer is kept at the minimum. That is why most of the photos related sites have thumbnail pictures so that they can reduce the data transfer due to the main page and the user is allowed to download the actual image only if they are interested in seeing that image.

While hosting a website with a service provider most of us tend to see only the features that are available for your hosting and the web space that is provided for your plan.

The cost to the web hosting company due to these are very less when compared to the cost due to data transfer.

If you know that you website is going to attract a lot of visitors to it, then you should go for an account or plan that has more data transfer per month. This would save you a lot of money. So the next time you purchase a web hosting plan keep an eye on the Data Transfer allowed for your plan.

Cheap High Transfer/bandwidth Hosting

May 22, 2008

I know you get what you pay for with hosting, but with the ridiculous overselling going on I am finding it hard to work out how much bandwidth I can genuinely expect to get with about 500MB space and 99%+ (preferably more like 99.5%) uptime for $5/month.

I will be using all this bandwidth for hosting legal mp3s (sanctioned for promotional use by labels and artists), and would prefer the host to be based in the US or UK.

CliffSupport Has Been Amazing

Mar 19, 2008

I signed up with cliffsupport maybe 3 - 4 months ago, and they have been great. The techs really know what they are talking about, and they respond quickly.

The only troubles I have had with them is when they had trouble getting the correct whmcs login, but we straightened that out.

If you want a good deal from Singlehop contact Chris

HostV.com VPS = Amazing

Dec 9, 2008

It takes a lot for me to be impressed, but HostV has done just that.

I migrated my site over a month ago to a new VPS plan. Up until then I was residing on a FFmpeg shared hosting plan(A company here) which was terrible(up, down, impossible slow access, huge memory usage).

My support tickets at HostV have been answered within hours regardless of when I have created them. They have fixed some of my own screw ups without hesitation and in great time and even installed some apache modules for me. My sites load faster then google now a days.

I run two streaming video sites, a few medium size forums and a couple wordpress blogs.

My bandwidth over the past month has been higher then ever thanks to the reliable service of the FFmpeg enabled VPS. 750 gb later I could not be more impressed.

So, if anyone is considering making a switch to a VPS anytime soon look at HostV's plans. They have far succeeded any expectation I had going in considering what I am paying.

they provide a backup service through virtuozo that does not use your own disk space for free

HiVelocity Is Amazing

Aug 14, 2008

I am a webmaster in Hawaii and recently had a massive server upgrade. This was a hugely complicated process, and my host, HIVELOCITY.NET seriously came through for me.

Without any BS extra billing or attitude, they spent 30 days, patiently dealing with my frustrated emails, and ignorance. After 3 years of insanely positive support, they just kicked it over the edge and proved to me that they are the only host I need indefinitely. I have adult and non-adult sites and have required very intensive support.

HIVELOCITY has never tried to tell me "thats not within the scope of our support" like so many other hosts have. (EV1) They always resolve my problems without telling me " I need to learn shell better" or "you need to consider a managed hosting plan or a sys admin" I've heard this from so many BS hosts, it has driven me mad. So I thought i would help everyone looking for a reliable server and post here about my positive experience.

If you want a server thats run by people who care about your business, and show it, try HIVELOCITY.NET

Amazing, But Unusual...

Oct 23, 2007

Since a couple a days I have a hosting problem (500 error). My provider told me that I have a script who is using more resources then the shared hosting server allows. BUT, I only have 1000 uniques/day for all my sites. From my point of view, that wasn't enough to explain it. So I dug a little bit in my stats:

Last 5 days. Stats from my hosting
Thursday : 483 uniques
Friday : 403 uniques
Saturday : 508 uniques
Sunday : 53,835 uniques???
Monday : 75,964 uniques???

Most of this traffic came from : 163data.com.cn

I don't think it's a "legit" traffic, because Google analystic gave me only 11 uniques yesterday and Adsense +/- 125 impressions.

My Amazing Experience With DreamHost

Nov 14, 2007

I started a small site on their cheapest shared hosting. Well, it got pretty big and one day blew up. I got 12,000 unique visits(30K actual visits) within about 10 hours. The load this put on the shared server was bogging down everyone who was also on the server. DreamHost disabled my site until the load went down. Thats fine by me, its shared hosting and I was affecting other people. Would have been awesome if DH would have TOLD ME that they disabled my site. I realized the next day my site was offline. Everything within the Control Panel looked fine, I couldnt figure out wtf was wrong. So I send in a support e-mail and Im promptly replied with a generic automated message telling me Ill be helped shortly. About 30 hours later Im finally told my site was put offline due to the suddenly large amount of resources it was taking.

They refused to turn my site back on until I made my coding more efficient. Even after I reassured them that there wouldnt be that many visitors anymore, as the 2 days offline pretty much guaranteed to kill over half my traffic. Nope, I still had to change the site.

Whatever, I made it more efficent, used a cache so it wasnt pulling the page from a DB every time it was visited. Were now at three and a half days offline, awesome.

They still dont believe this is efficient enough. I switch to their VPS service and this satisfied them. They agree to turn the site back on now. 5 days offline. Im getting maybe 100 unique visits at this time.

After about 10 days of their VPS service(WOW their VPS blows donkey balls) I send an e-mail to have it cancelled and just go back to shared hosting. "As your site requires a lot of resources, your cancellation has been denied." At this point Im pretty irritated. My reply is "No offense, but thats wasnt a request. Ive moved to JaguarPC(you guys rock!) VPS service and I would like to go back to my shared hosting. I thank you in advance for doing this for me."

2 days later they say its switched. Oh yea. BTW, you pay daily for the VPS. It just adds on to your shared hosting costs, and yes I had to pay for those 2 days.

Skip ahead 2 months. I get an e-mail saying Ive been billed from DreamHost. This is normal, as my $10 shared hosting account is still active. Only this bill is for $80. Ive just been charged for 2 months worth of VPS and 2 months of shared hosting out of nowhere.

After about 6 e-mails(and 3 days) to their support team Ive finally got a response from a real person, only to tell me that hes forwarding my email to another tech support person that can "better help me". Whatever, do what you do DreamHost. Were now at a week(and 4 more emails asking whats going on, etc) when I get another response. Hey, my problem has been forwarded again. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

So, two weeks later, I finally get my refund with a "We apologize for any inconvenience." e-mail.

MMHosting.com - AMAZING HOST

Mar 12, 2008

I just recently registered a friend's site that I did for her on MMHosting, at first I was a bit skeptical of the prices and the size of the storage and bandwidth. However, I was quite surprised to see that the space is actually available on the Cpanel. I doubt we'll ever really use that much space or bandwidth, but it's nice to know the bandwidth is there if we need it.

More importantly, the customer service has been amazing. If I have a question about the hosting, I submit a ticket and it's generally answered within 30 minutes to 2 hours. They have been more than helpful and provided me links and examples of the answer to the question that I had asked.

MMHosting now has one satisfied new customer, and seeing as I make websites for people all day long everyday, and they always ask me if I know of a good place to host, I will now swear by MMHosting.

Also, I do have plans to move my other two websites to MMHosting very shortly.

Thanks for everything guys you're doing a fantastic job!

Customer service is really what makes the difference in picking a hosting company, and as far as I've seen, MMHosting has it down.

Softlayer Review - Amazing Service

Sep 24, 2008

About a month ago I purchased my first dedicated server from Softlayer. I was originally with BurstNET, but due to some network issues at their datacenter I decided that it was in my best interest to move to a more premium network. Keep in mind that this is a review of Softlayer. It has absolutely nothing to do with my opinions on BurstNET (I actually love BurstNET).

My Review

Before I purchased my dedicated server I spoke with a live chat representative. We went over many things, and I believe we chatted for close to thirty minutes. After making my decision, I ordered the dedicated server. After I ordered the server, the person on the live chat session told me that she would be calling my phone for an order verification. This went very smoothly, it was completed within minutes of ordering.

I believe I waited a few hours for my server to be deployed. I thought it was quite nice that I didn't have to wait a day for it to be ready. That is definitely a plus in my book. After the server was deployed, I explored the Softlayer control panel, which is incredibly useful. I'm glad that I don't have to save my server login details anymore.

Unfortunately, after having my server for nearly a week, I experienced about six hours of downtime. This downtime happened between the hours of 12:00AM and 6:00AM EST. I wasn't really bothered by it (yes, it's downtime, but I know it's not something that happens a lot with Softlayer). I contacted Softlayer about it, and later received 10-15% off my next payment (I'm not sure whether it was 10% or 15%, but it was one of those numbers). I'm honestly not sure what caused the downtime. I think it had something to do with a power failure, but don't quote me on that -- I didn't read up on the outage. Apparently it only affected the servers in the Dallas datacenter, Server Room 4.

Once my server went online I experienced another problem (this time it was my fault). I called the Softlayer support line, and luckily talked to a guy who fixed the problem. I know that Softlayer isn't managed, so this was definitely helpful.

Overall, I'll say that Softlayer has been truly amazing. I love their pricing, their support, and their network. They've got a long-term client.

VectorLevel - Intial Impression = Amazing

Nov 10, 2008

I finally decided to go with vectorlevel after my last topic and researching some more and I'm completely amazed by how seamless the process was. I signed up on nov 5th and got my account information in a few minutes. Now I'm pretty knowledgeable about all the new technology stuff such as computers and tvs, but I'm pretty much a newbie in web hosting. I have always wanted to start a personal blog but had no idea what I needed with domains and hosting. Vectorlevel assisted me with getting my own domain (woot) and showed me how to install wordpress with "Installatron" which was pretty cool. My blog loads very quickly almost just like any of those big company websites like google.

DNS Transfer

Sep 25, 2007

I have a client who has transferred her domain to my reseller account. The dns settings are all showing as being to my server:

Problem 1 is that she can't see the new site. She is seeing a very old site (not her last one) on her PC even though she has done a full refresh and cleared out her temporary internet files.

Problem 2 is that her emails aren't working. I can set up my computer to receive emails from her domain, and even though she is using exactly the same settings in Outlook it will not work for her (she has sent me screen shots so I know she it putting in the information correctly).

I am at a loss about what to do with these two issues. She knows that others are not seeing the same site as her, but is getting frustrated and I'm afraid that it is affecting my credibility with her.

I have submitted a support ticket to my provider (8 hours ago) and have not received a resopnse yet

How Do I Transfer My Reseller?

Mar 22, 2007

So I've got a reseller account set up with about 71 individual accounts created under it. What's the easiest way to create a backup of the reseller account (including all accounts created under it) and send it to my new VPS? I have SSH enabled on the reseller and root access on the VPS.

Rsync seems somewhat intimidating but maybe I'm looking at it all wrong. I have limited command line experience. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me? I'd like to have a method that I can get familiar with and re-use.

What Is Domain Transfer?

May 30, 2008

What does the concept of transferring a domain mean? I am asking all this because I have seen that freehostia has a service called: Domain transfer. It seems that it cost 9.95$. Then I would like to know what is the purpose of this domain transfer. I just thought that this domain transfer was the service provided for those who wanted to host a site in freehostia but had registered their domain with another company instead of with freehostia. What do you think about this?

Well, I have seen this choice of transfering a domain in another site called: http://www.bluereef.net/support/serverbasics/dns.html

So, could you help me understand the purpose and use of the service called transfering a domain that these two hosting providers mentioned above have?
