I was wondering if there's any web hosts that offer 3D graphics cards in their hosted dedicated servers? they don't have to be that great of 3D graphics cards just better graphics than the normal video cards that they usually put in them?
View 14 RepliesThe issue we have is that server1 (web) has the load very high, compared to server2 (mysql). Sever2 stays at 0.5 during peak time.
I must mention that we have very heavy traffic hits only for 30min/day, then things calm down.
I simple diagram would be:
[USERS] <= NIC1 => [SERVER1 WEB] <= NIC2 => [SERVER2 MYSQL]
So I think we can install a load balancer and upgrade the NIC cards, in order to solve this problem.
What I thought is this:
In server1 (web) install 2 NICs, one facing the users and one facing the server2 (mysql).
Currently we have a 100MB NIC card into each server.
The 95th is way to high at peak time, over 500MB so I was thinking on installing a 1GB NIC facing the server2 (mysql).
My question is:
What is the best way to install a second NIC into an existing configuration?
Do I need a Cisco 2970 switch?
Example:
[USERS] <= NIC1 | NIC3 => [SERVER1 WEB] <= NIC2 => [SERVER2 MYSQL]
Will the Dell-made PERC 4 DC (or SC) RAID cards work in Sub v20z servers?

From what I gather, it should in theory work, as they are both PCI-X and Ultra320 SCSI ... right?
If they won't work, can anyone recommend any raid cards that will?
We've been investigating software and appliances that would allow us a central, web based login to manage access and users to all the servers with IPMI cards. Does anyone use anything other than appliances from avocent or raritan?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI saw on Pacific Rack they have a section where they offer Rent To Own (RTO) servers. This is what I've been looking for and would like to know if any other host have this kind of offering?
From what I read from the site, RTO servers feature server financing over a set period of months, allowing a capital strapped customer from the initial large expense of purchasing a server. RTO server's are subscribed to as dedicated servers with part of your monthly payment going torwards the cost of the server. Once the set period of months has been reached, the server ownership is transferred to you. You then convert to a colocation plan, benefiting from asset ownership. Once you own the server, you can do what you wish with it, including having it shipped to you. (taken from PR website)

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Plesk panel (11.5.30) hosts a number of domains that all use Google Apps for Business to host their emails. No emails are hosted on the panel, and the mail server is turned off. So is the DNS server.
Using the mail() php function to send automatic confirmation emails from a website hosted on the panel, they arrive at any address NOT hosted locally, however they fail to arrive at any address whose website is locally hosted.
My initial research suggested that Plesk was routing locally, hence the problem, however the mailserver has been turned off the for domain/webspace.

and is there a way to transfer all the files accessable through a FTP account on a host to another host using SSH? if there is how can I do that?
This is a random question and I wasn't sure exactly where to start. But, I have developed some invoice software that use a few PHP modules. My host has these enabled by default, but I wanted to see if most hosts have these enabled or not. Heck, they might even by standard php configuration, I'm just not sure. Here they are:
PHP 5 with the following modules:
- dom
- dom-xslt
- gd
- mysql
- mbstring
- bcmath
I have a handful of short-term projects that require me to have webspace on servers in France, Germany, and Spain. Unfortunately, I don't know any European languages other than English.
Can anyone suggest web hosts with servers in France, Germany, or Spain that are friendly to English-speakers? That is, a website with an English-translated interface and ideally billing/support in English.

I have a client that had an "electrical" problem with his hosting service, and all his sites were down for more than 1 week.
Is there any chance to create some sort of backup servers, on different hosting companies with a service that offer a mechanism of ip redirect in case of main-server failure?
Or is there any "cheap" solution for this?
how to install GD Graphics Library 2 (GD2) ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried signing up for a few of those online image hosts. I would upload a few images, carefully read their instructions, and code my page to go get the pictures to show up on my webpages. I tried about four different ones. No matter what I did, following their instructions, looking in different browsers, checking file names etc, I always had trouble finding my pictures. Not just trouble--my images just never show up when I put them in these free online file places. Usually I am pretty sharp about stuff like this but now I have to wonder: What is going on with that?

Does anyone know of any language-neutral captcha scripts that can be run on the server-side and your customers can access via includes or what-not? I'd like to offer some sort of captcha solution to my customers to protect their web forms.

Never used it. Heard it is nice. About $30 for up to 50 sites...
(There were no other replies in that thread.)
Are there any readers here who have tried using the paid solution offered by bestwebforms.com? When I visited the site, it seemed that their CAPTCHA graphics files looked a little primitive. Since I have not downloaded their package, I do not know how well it works, or how effective it might be in discouraging web form spamming.
They say that one only needs to insert a short JavaScript on the web page in order to implement their pre-formatted forms. But what if one wishes to apply their CAPTCHA solution to a custom-designed form and lay-out that is already in use (i.e.: currently running without CAPTCHA)?
It would be terrific if any readers could reply with a list of their favorite sources for CAPTCHA scripts, particularly those which can be easily implemented without extensive knowledge of perl or other programming experience.
Assuming one has good HTML and basic script editing capability, which scripts would you suggest? Do they generate the CAPTCHA graphics on-the-fly, or do they depend on a static library of existing .gif files?
Have you tested the script(s) yourself, and arrived at any conclusions on its/their efficacy in combatting web form spam, while still permitting reasonable access by humans with various levels of visual acuity, i.e.: the ability to discern different colors, or contrast between the characters and background?
Since I've read that there may be a number of effective anti-CAPTCHA schemes used by spammers out there (which are able to automatically decode or read the obscured characters with some sort of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, I would like to know whether the whole CAPTCHA approach is now considered to be an exercise in futility.
For example, I noticed that Network Solutions had been using CAPTCHA for a time on their WHOIS search page, but later abandoned it. I'm assuming they may have concluded that it was hindering more valid users from performing searches, than it was effective in stopping spam submissions.
A while back, I did read some forum posts which suggested wrapping the form action in JavaScript, in order to foil certain automated spambots. However, after implementing that solution, I have not found it to be entirely effective. Of course, I have no way of knowing whether the comment spam that we continue to get now was generated by a human or a spambot.
Finally, it seems that our web host's Spam Assassin software, while it is pretty decent at detecting spam in regular e-mail, does nothing to filter spam in web forms whose input is delivered by e-mail. I don't understand why this is, since it still must pass through the mail server in order to be delivered to me.
Not sure on industry standard here, but I am now curious about this issue.
I placed an order with a company, paid for a setup, first month etc. On receiving the order, I was given the wrong product. Which was fixed for me within a few days. I was happy to even pay for this which the host declined.
Fast forward a week or so. Still in the first month, and issues are still not resolved.
I've now removed credit card information from the billing system (yes I know, shouldn't do it) with good reason. I expected to have to pay another month, and that was fine.
Anyway, month ends and I am charged on a credit card that was removed from the billing system. When confronted about it, I was told standard practice. I think this is highly unethical to hold details after they had been removed.
Is this indeed standard practice in this industry? Do a majority of other hosts do the same thing?
Now again, I am only to happy to pay another month, just not from a credit that was removed, which is why it was removed. I would've sent a check, or done a deposit. I do understand that fraud, etc is very high in this industry. I have a host or two not give me service because of the email address I used during sign up, but when changed, I received service.
i have several servers here but only basic knowledge about raid
My understanding of raid is like this
I have a server with 4 disk on it and if i put it in raid 1 and want to install an OS i can only see 2 of the disks right? (thats how it works on my ibm server)
But with my other servers if i put them in raid 1 and want to install OS i can still see all 4 disks thats not right is it?
anyone that can recommend a pci raid card for 4 sata2 disks?
to setup a Windows server that can support the failure of the switch that comes before it in the network diagram. The idea would be that if the 15A circuit the switch was on failed, or the switch just died, the server would still be online.
I already have two switches in spanning tree just before the server. Is there a way to assign a single IP to the server on both its network cards and connect each card to a different (spanning tree'd) switch?
I am setting up an internal network for management only. So, assign an IP for the second NIC, and activate it, but it seems not working. I have tried this
#ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255
#ifconfig eth1 up
checking dmesg, it shows the NIC is up
# dmesg
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
tg3: eth1: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth1: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
checking routing table seeing the 192.168.2.x routed through eth1
# route -e
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

I have a question regarding people who are stealing content off my site (using the same URL of my site). I would like to make a rule (in .htaccess, I imagine) that does the following:
If the graphic is placed on the desired domain, put the correct graphic in place.
If the graphic is placed on another domain (stolen), put a 'substitute' graphic in place that says that the content was stolen.
I know you can do something along these lines (I used to have an .htaccess that prevented people from linking to pages outside of designated domains) but I'm not sure if you can narrow it down much more. However, it would rock if it was possible.
I was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!
