Anyone Home At RazorServers
Nov 6, 2007
I'm thinking about ordering a VPS from RazorServers, but haven't been able to get ahold of anyone there to answer a few simple sales questions for almost 24 hours - tried calling, the sales extension just rings and rings, their AIM and MSN contacts listed on their website aren't logged in, submitted a ticket yesterday afternoon with no response. None of this gives me much confidence that if I have problems after setup that I'll be able to get ahold of anyone.
Anybody know if this is normal for RazorServers? If so, any recommendations of other good providers of Xen VPSs in the northeast (Philadelphia, New York, Boston, etc.)?

i tried razor servers and I think they just took my cash its been 3 days and no contact what so ever so I have filed a paypal claim, but basically this was my package.
Processor Q6600
Memory 1 GB
Bandwidth 500 GB
IPs 5 usable
It also included web monitoring and CPANE/WHML for $99 bux a month, so I tried it but havent heard anything from them.
So im looking for something like that, if the host could maybe work with me on the first month since it looks like I got screwed outta $99 I would sign u p tonight even if you just pro-rate the first month..

I'm going to locate some of my servers in Philadelphia area. And I need a reliable web hosting company that provides collocation solution. I'm thinking of RazorServers.com for this purpose. This company has many possitive feedbacks and their prices aren't very high. Their datacenter is in Philadelphia and has N+1 redundancy. What can you tell me about this company?

I have been with Razorservers for about a year. The server I got from them was the following:
Pentium D 2.8Ghz
1GB ram
80GB drive
1500G traffic
Remote reboot
For $109 a month.
One might say that this is expensive compared to the various budget offers out there. And it probably is, however you get more in return as well. More about that later.
The reason of going with them was stability. They used Level3 bandwidth in Phily which is a great location for both US and European traffic. Later on they added GBLX as well. Their servers are on two different power grids so even if power goes down there is a backup grid. And I can honestly say that in the year I have been with them there was not more than maybe a few seconds downtime. And yes, I monitor uptime closely using hyperspin.
What makes razorserver worth a try?
- Very stable
- Fast bandwidth to both US and EU
- Friendly & personal support
- Free KVMoIP.
My server initially had Debian Etch installed. Somehow there seemed to be some hardware issues with Etch and I had to ask them quite a few times to see what kernel-panic error was on the screen. In the end we decided to migrate to CentOS instead.
For the migration Matt from RS setup a second CentOS server and gave me access to it 48 hours before the old Etch one would be canceled. This gave me time to do an easy migration without downtime. From that moment I did not have any hardware issues and ended up with a system uptime of almost 280 days.
Last month I moved away to another hoster. Reason was like always: budget. I got a great offer for a X3230 that i could not refuse. So I had to move away unfortunately.
When I gave RS notice of cancellation they even offered to lower my monthly price. Which was very nice and a sign of a great customer-host relation. Unfortunately I could not stay.
Network: 9/10 - Stable and fast
Power: 10/10 - Not one second downtime
Support: 8/10 - Reasonably fast (few hours max) with a personal touch
Give them a try if you are sick of the Burstnet (or the like) monthly downtimes. Thats what I did and I have been more than happy I noticed they have started offering cheap ($79!) Core2Duos now as well - with free Cpanel! Even 100Mbit shared for less than $100. Too good to not take

Review: I am very pleased with the service at Razorservers.Their services are so far the best. I have used other services but now I'm wondering if you continue like this I will be their loyal customer as long as we provided services.
I recommend every user razorservers. First of all, let him try and give young guys a chance.
No one is not the best but to this moment I am satisfied with the m services.

i was just wondering can we build our own pc and send it to a data center?
I was planning on just building a cheap pc with maybe an xp3000+, 512mb of ram and stack in 2TB worth of HDD space on it, then just pay for the rack space and the b/w
But, is this possible, is a normal midi tower case to big for this?

I understand the risks of not using a datacenter, but for a smallish site to which uptime isn't key, is it possible to get server-quality bandwidth to my house? (No I don't mean like Gigabit, I mean like upwards of 5mbps)? I'd really like to maintain my own server (probably build one).
I live in Milwaukee, so colocation is, AFAIK, out. And while I can save up for and buy a computer every few years, I cannot sustain $80/month. (I am a middle school student. My income isn't exactly regular.)
So the question... can I get an ISP to let me run a server at decent speeds out of my house? Would its costs exceed colocation or that of a dedicated server?

How do I keep users from spying on each others files? If I chmod -x /home/ all kinds of crap breaks. Would setting 660 along with setfacl u:apache:rwx work?

to replace the current router/firewall/gateway on my home LAN with a lower-end PC running pfSense. (A FreeBSD-based distro with a web GUI for managing pf and the like.)
Since the system will be passing all the network traffic anyway, I'm interested in the possibility of having it watch for anything suspicious. Snort is the obvious choice: I want it to spot incoming/outgoing suspicious network activity.
What I wonder, though, is if there is really a lot of benefit to running this on a home LAN? If it was a big corporate network, I could see wanting it to keep an eye on things, but we only have a handful of machines, and they're all pretty secure.
It'd be running on a ~1 GHz PC with 512 MB RAM... Given that the machine would already be acting as firewall/router, caching DNS server, and running PHP/Apache for the management interface / graph generation, is piling Snort on top of that asking for trouble?

I'm just wondering what the practicalities and problems might be in setting up a web server from home. At the moment we have a 2Mb cable connection but our provider offers a 20Mb connection.
Would it be possible to set up a small hosting business from home with such a connection?

Recently I bought a static IP from an ISP and trying to setup so that I can enable my home PC as a web server and can be accessible thru internet.
I wanted to setup with Apache Server. I have windows vista OS installed. Please point me where I can find some documentation on web server setup and configuring static IP address, firewall setup, etc.,

I have a home network as described bellow on the picture (It's in Portuguese but I guess you'll manage to understand it).
My Network Scheme
[url]
I have a domain (let's say abc.com) hosted in AFRAID which is updated by my router since
I have a dynamic IP. I want to have different sub-domains redirected to different computers, for example:[url]redirects to my Desktop computer
[url]redirects to my Laptop 1
My Linksys WRT54GL Router is running Tomato firmware and my Fonera Router is running DD-WRT firmware.
Since I do NOT have a static IP is it possible to make this?

I already have a web server hosting around 70 web sites with FastHosts who charge me around £350 per month. I am a one man band and looking to cut monthly costs. On my web server with FastHosts, I have around 6 IP addresses all used for specific purposes such as SSL and public web sites and all works just fine.
I have just purchased a fast 8mb BT Network Business broadband connection at home along with 13 static IP addresses and built an office on my land that is secure. I want to host my own servers here on the premises that gives my clients the same services they currently get but without me having to pay £350 per month.
BT now tell me that the router they provided cannot route more than 1 IP address to the same machine. The router can only route 1 IP address to 1 PC. This means to achive what I already have would mean purchasing several servers and hosting clients web sites on an individual server.
I have a Windows 2003 server that I know can host all the sites I need including secure and public from one machine. I also know that each secure web site requires it's own IP address and I have those from BT.
Have you any ideas if there are any routers out there that work on broadband connections that can forward more than 1 IP address to the same computer and still work just fine with the BT set-up that I have?

Clients home directories keep randomly being deleted. The accounts aren't terminated, just the home directories.
I've changed root pass etc, any other ideas what could be causing this?

I set /tmp partition with noexec, but not /home do you think it's a good idea to do so?
I belive it won't break perl/php scripts (maybe just those being directly called as an executable on CRON) anyone know any cons for that?

I wanted to host a website from home and
- registered domain with godaddy.com
- created account with everydns.net and updated the nameserver information at godaddy
- My webserver is Apache Http server and I have a router between my system and ISP's modem, so i did the port forwarding and also opened the port to public. I have also used a port other than 80 because I thought my ISP might block port 80.
My problem is i can access my webpages from my home machine(server) but not from my office machine. one interesting note is my ISP is COX and i have asked my friend who also has COX to check the site and He was able to access my website.
I checked checkdnsDOTnet and nothing seem to be a problem and i have also checked the port at canyouseemeDOTorg and the port seems to be open.
I used DOT to indicate '.' , because I am not allowed to link URLs

I am currently leasing a VPS and the kbps upload rate is below my upload rate at home, so I am going to save 50 bucks/ month and move it to home.
I plan on using an older dell desktop with 512mb ram. I would like to use this also as sorta a sync host between my laptop and desktop. I would like to be able to sync certain folders and files which would be stored on the server. I also obviously need to have ftp access, smtp (no knowledge of this area), mysql, php, etc. My big question is which OS should I use? I have fiddled around had a local copy of my site working on my main desktop in windows using apache. Should I stick with windows or would I be better served using a linux distro such as ubuntu? I currently have a static IP address at home. How do I handle the nameservers?
Another thing is how easily can I manage things like emails and subdomains?

So I have designed some software for my brother who owns a business and needed a website to manage his clients and send emails to them and stuff. Right now we are using Hostmonster, which has been pretty good so far.
He was talking to me how it would be nice to be able to email the website and have the site automatically store the information in these emails into a database for information regarding his clients, which I know is possible, but not on a shared host it seems. I have tested my own email receiving script on a test server on my computer and it works fine. So we are continually finding our limits with a shared host. We have been looking into dedicated hosting, but as you all know its quite a price jump to go from $7 a month to $200+.
I got thinking and remembered that my dad has always had a business web plan from our ISP at home (cause he likes fast internet), which according to there website serves 1Mbps upload speed. We also have 2-3 old computers sitting at home that we don't use anymore (2)2ghz pentium 4 Dells and a 3.0ghz+ Pentium 4 HP. I was thinking we could probably just plug one of those into the router, forward some ports and have our own server up and running. For now we would only host this software I made for my bro, which is used by only 4 people, and that's not even at the same time usually. So there is very little load to deal with. But in the future we may put a few other sites that we have in mind which would use PHP and MySQL quite a bit.
I was just curious what some of your opinions were on creating a home server. I was looking at Ubuntu Server edition as a possibility, or XAMPP since all my machines are Windows XP. One machine doesn't work cause the hard drive is out, so if I use that I would probably have to put Ubuntu on it. Any suggestions on good server software would be great! I believe the business web plan my dad has also comes with a static IP as well, so that will help. Look forward to hearing your suggestions!
