I want to deploy servers at different locations and then send the user to their nearest server. This can be done in 2 ways.
Anycast DNS: By running DNS with Anycast service when a person makes a request to DNS we send out the IP of a nearest box
Hardware based: Expesnive solution with single point of failure. basically the user goes to one site and that route the user to nearest site
to expand our existing DNS setup with nodes in North America and Asia.
Therefore, we are searching ISPs that can provide dedicated servers and route an existing (RIPE PI) IP range to that server which will be anycastet for DNS service?
What company would be able to provide that service?
Hope there is a DNS expert about that can make sense of what I observe and give an unbiased opinion.
We are currenlty evaluating hosted DNS providers. Anycast DNS seems like a great feature to have and we want fail over too. Narrowed down a list of possible suppliers: DNS Made Easy, Netriplex and Dynect.
After reading up on some blogs 1 & 2 mainly, we setup a Pingdom test to evaluate our three candidates.
For DME I used their own site URL for testing, Netriplex and Dynect gave us dedicated test accounts.
The average response times roughly follow the prices, DME is slowest, Netriplex next and Dynect is the winner. I have detailed logs in anyone is interested (in CSV).
Now for the unexpected results. All 3 providers give very long response times a few times a day - sometimes as long as 5 or 10 seconds. Now and again we see a timeout - i.e. a response of over 15 seconds.
We cross checked by running a testing our current non-anycast Rackspace DNS - similar outliers are present too.
Pingdom tech support think these outliers could be due to peering issues on the internet.
I would expect anycast DNS to be much more robust and to give decent response times even if there are localised networking issues.
So our outliers are either down to the way Pingdom does the testing, or just a 'feature' of the way DNS works.
Anyone with any bright ideas on how to explain this?
I have a Server with Centos7 + Plesk 12 and in the service configuration say that the Bind service is not installed, from command line i have install named services and make a manual configuration the first domain, but when I return to the service page in plesk... the problem is the same, the Bind Service is not installed; then the problem is when i want create a new hosting i need to go to the ssh to make the DNS configuration...

I am trying to find the best economical solution regarding my email address but I need some advice pls.
I have a very small package with asmallorange and I have set up one of my business email in it. I didn't calculate that this business email could take so much space. I have some assistants which work in other places. One of my problems is these asistants who need to access this address too, are not allowed to access any free email provider like gmail, yahoo at their work computers because of their work policy. So I can't do forwarding and I need to have this email address under my domain.
I am thinking of these options:
1) Get more space . This will become expensive for me.
2) use a dedicated email service under my domain name.
I have no experience here and I wonder if using a gmail service under my domain will be blocked for my collaborators.
3) change host ( I am afraid to lose my data and my website database).
I'm going to start offering a KVMoIP service for my customers and am trying to get ideas on the pricing. What do y'all think about it? I know most places that I know about charge a setup + hourly fee, well, I like to be just a little bit better, so let's see what y'all have to say.
View 14 Replies View RelatedDo you use any uptime monitoring service? If so, which one do you use? Do you use a paid monitoring service, or a free one?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI was thinking of putting together a DB of all the IPs I block due to spam, hackers, known proxies etc... this would help cut down on malicious use of services such as spamming forums, if I catch them once, they would not have chance to spam up my other forums if each forum checks the same block list. I could also auto block proxies by having it query up online proxy lists.
But before I reinvent the wheel, does such service online already exist? Kinda like RBL, but for web services. So you can basically block IPs off your site before they get used maliciously.
To be even more advanced some special port scanners could go around scan networks for infected machines and block those too.
How it would work:
Site A has a spammer from IP 1.2.3.4 and submits it to the block service. Spammer then goes on site B to try and spam that forum, but that IP is already blocked because the owner of site A submitted it to the list and site B checks against that list.
The VPN service owner can he track and know all his customers activity
I mean let's say am a customer and I bought VPN subscription and then logged in with my new vpn ip and I login to my email , in that case the VPN service owner can he read know my email password or other sensitive data like if If I login to myspace.com can he know what password I used using his vpn server logs?
Anybody using their service? Prices are low, plans look good.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe have been trying to get our rDNS set up for 2 months with Bionhosting on our dedicated box.
and yet RDNS Entry null
Is this normal? Why would it take 2 months to set up a Reverse DNS does this somehow involve the White House and red tape?
We are really getting slammed by our clients in forums that are very important to our business. This is killing us!
What exactly is involved in setting up RDNS why is this so difficult?
We are hosting multiple servers for a site, web, db, media etc and all of them are in the same DC. I am getting worried that incase a server goes down, it would take DNS down along with and will also take emails out.
I was looking to use a good and reliable DNS service which would ensure that we are reliable and emails don't go out incase of an outage.
I want to set up a service like zoneedit.com with free name servers and branded name servers etc. Since the name servers will be authoritative I am guessing the bandwith required depends on the number of domains and their popularity. I have some questions
1) Which DNS server is the best one for the job
2) How can one provide branded name servers like instead of ns.myservice.com it would be like ns.userdomain.com. Can it be done by using a simple A record.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHave you heard the expression "cut off your nose to spite your face?" That's SiteGround.com's customer service in a nutshell.
In March 2008, I wanted to get a new domain and have SiteGround.com host it. I already had two accounts with them. So I got online and began a chat with "Rada" or "Dana" (all bogus names). I signed up for a new domain and extended the others. With the package I ordered I paid $146. During that initial chat, Rada or Dana said that if I signed up for another domain with hosting they would give me $10 off.
Low and behold, I began another chat with Rada and/or Dana the next day. I said I wanted to purchase another domain and mentioned the $10 discount offer I was promised the day before. Suddenly, $10 in the face or ordering a new service for $50 was a big deal to SiteGround.com. They reneged on their offer and refused to give me the $10 discount.
Subsequently, I also had problems logging on with the original order as SiteGround.com naming conventions sometimes prevent users from using the usernames they create. SiteGround.com also created a different password. After 4 hours of chats in which SiteGround.com attempted to upsell everything while you think they are trying to help you went nowhere.
I got the money back from the credit card company but my word of advice is avoid these guys. They will say one thing and do another and they send you lengthy explanations as to why they are "prevented" by their rules from offering $10 discounts for customers who want to purchase services that equal at least $146.
I'd like to know if there are good monitoring services to monitor my VPS.
Not just the website,but everything on the VPS.

Also i'd like to receive daily reports by email.
how many of you guys are considering buying into a CDN service? Do you ever find yourself (or your clients) asking for it?
If so, in what specific situations would you need a CDN? Did you already buy the service - if so, what made you choose your provider, and if you did not buy the service yet, why not?
Assume, a DNS failover service would change the DNS from server 1 to server 2 when the first one is offline. This will be changed quite fast, however isn't it true that some visitors still experience a downtime of a couple of hours (saying that the main server will be offline for 6 hours) as their ISP might not update DNS that frequently?
So basically, what is the added value of a failover service?
i am hosting 3 sites on my shared hosting plan at startlogic. I need to upgrade but i have a small budget. Gridservice is cheaper and it does not require as much server work. I don't really know anything about server work if that makes a difference.
Which option should i go for and what are the pros/cons of each.
I am thinking of running a vpn service for a limited number of my clients, so that they can surf the web securely and anonymously through our VPS (routing all traffics through a vps). However I have no idea what features should I looking for, I mean how much BW or ram does it need.
Lets say I have 10~20 clients at all, Is a VPS with 300G monthly BW and 256(or 512)M of ram enough to have it work smoothly?
