I am currently using four different web hosts for different projects. All of them offer a web control panel, which is handy. However, I was noticing today that none of them use https to access/use the control panel.
Xen control panel because I just got a server so I can try out using Xen instead of OpenVZ. Most of the control panel's that I've seen only support OpenVZ at this time. Would anyone be able to suggest a good panel that I could try out or look at?
I know HyperVM is one but can it be trusted as of now? I know that they have people working on it and there are no major hacks right now (at least not yet) but would it be suggested to use it?
There's a bit of a project which I am going to be launching hopefully within about a month or so. Its going to be fairly server intensive, and as I don't know what the outcome will be, I wish to host it myself on a few spare machines I have for the time-being.
Now, the issue at this stage is installing all the necessary webserver software and controling it from one page, like a control panel.
I don't mind looking into control panels such as Plesk or any others, but would these automatically install all the software that is needed by the CP - such as Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl etc?
I'd appreciate if anyone could give me some guidance as far as control panels and web server software is concerned.
-What control panel uses the least system resources. I heard Cpanel is a huge hog.
-I also would like to host maybe a gameserver for friends on my dedicated server, what control panel works the nicest with gameservers to not hinder performance on either end?
-I saw a new Control Panel Called Interworx. Anyone heard good or bad about it?
when I was in vps except cpanel and whm I had another control panel for vps , Don't remember what was that I could turn my server off and on for dedicated server except for cpanel and whm what else do I need?
I've started looking into KVM to possibly to run alongside or even to end up replacing our current Xen infrastructure. The fact that it's built into the mainstream linux kernel is very appealing.
Are there any Control panels/basic frontends for this at the moment to allow users to Reboot/Reimage their VM's? At the moment its looking as though we would need something inhouse or custom developed
Where does everyone get rack blanks/filler panels from? I'm getting a new rack and will need a bunch of filler panels, but don't want to pay way too much for them. I'm interested in 1U, 2U, and 4U fillers for now.
I would like to ask you what software I need to control VPS - stop it when it expires the owner's account and he must pay agan to use it.
Software must work with VMware, Solaris conteiners (xVM server), Virtuozzo and etc.
What software for billing the VPS can you recommend me?
Is there a second way to control the access to the VPSs? Can I install hardware firewall before the servers witch host VPSs and install billing software on that firewall so when the owner don't pay for the VPS the firewall cuts the access to the VPS.
I have VmWare VPS hosting, I just started and I have few questions. How can I see how much bandwidth each VPS consumes? How can I know if someone is doing illegal activities like spam, file sharing, IRC, etc.? I ask this because I give complete control over VPS to my customers so I don't have access to it, only thing I do is backup of whole VPS image on spare HDD, and network/hardware troubleshooting. So how to control whats happening on my VPS-es?
I tried contacting the live support from fatcow, and he was no help. It was probably just the guy i had but thats not the point. I think i am going to go with them but what control panel do they use?
I'm up Games for Windows VPS servers with VMWare Server ESXi and wonders whether some option to control the traffic of each IP, I thought about using a "Cisco ASA 5500" but I do not know if it has this option:
I am tired of lxlabs. Bugs have been submitted, especially with Windows VPS, but lxhelp just ignores. If he could not fix, or doesn't have time to fix, he just ignores our requests without any reply.
So, I am looking for another control panel for Xen. I will need it to run on CentOS mostly. And able to create Windows VPS. I only know dtc, but it's built for Debian.
I seem to have the opposite problem of what most people complain about... I'm using some custom-built PHP scripts, the output of which is not getting cached. I want the output cached, because it doesn't change often.
If it's relevant, I'm using ob_start() to serve up a GZIP-compressed page.
I start off with a header("Cache-Control: maxage=3600, must-revalidate"). Yes, it's first, and yes, it's showing up properly in the browser.
However, requesting the page again returns an HTTP 200, not the 304 I'm expecting. It's pulling down the whole page again. It's not changing in between requests, and I'm simply visiting the URL again, not hitting Refresh. (Although it really shouldn't matter.)
I am running vps business and i would like to have your guys advice of which control panel to offer to all om my customers.
Most people leave my services only because they need to have simple control panel for their vps. So im looking for any commercial control panel which i can provide with all of my vps servers. Also It should not use more than 30Mb of ram and and shold not be a cpu hog.
Right now iam looking at ServerCP (as they have a deal when you can buy 100 for 69 dollars) but it needs about 128Mb of ram to function and its just too much.
I am going to setup a SSH tunnel or VPN connection through a VPS server, and want to share it with some friends (like 2-3), so I'd need some way to control the monthly bandwidth of each one.
Is there how to do this? Maybe directly with SSH or OpenVPN, or maybe with other software? It's simple like: 50 GB for each one in 1 month. I know it is complicated, because the IP's are dynamic, so maybe through user account? I have no idea on how to do this... Or maybe a analyzing utility, and later a script to block the user?
So we move to a new dedicated server company (I won't name) only to fine that our mission critical site that is used for customers software to report home to has an extra shared managed firewall on the network we can't access. Irate customers we have to find a new dedicated server company.
Does anyone know a managed dedicated server company in the US or UK infact anywhere that provide managed dedicated servers WITHOUT a firewall shared by a subnet/rack? Our customers can use the software we sell because of a firewall we can't access. cPanel is ideal.
Stress. www.rapidswitch.com in the UK were BRILLIANT but we wanted a full managed package.
It is with fresh OS. I was wondering which FREE control panel should I install on it.
It is a 2.6Celeron with 512MB RAM (soon to be upgraded to 1GB) with Cent OS 5.
My concern is that if in future I am able to find a cheap directadmin external license then I would want to uninstall control panel and will use directadmin.
So i need advice on control panel: Which is FREE Can work for a website (dont need multi domain fancy stuff). Will only host single domain. Can install apache / mysql / email etc. Use apache NOT apache-light. I saw HostInABox but it uses apache-light which dont work well for my website features. Tested it in a VPS earlier. Can uninstall cleanly if needed so that I dont have to reload OS in future inorder to install DA.
How about webmin or ispconfig.
Do they install easily and uninstall cleanly? I am not an expert but am learning quickly.
I'm on a reseller cPanel WHM account with shell access, and this public FTP for uploading maps for a game.
How do I ban FTP users by their IP? (.htaccess wouldn't do the trick)
How do I regulate priviledges/permissions of FTP users?
How do I control (like configuring how the indexing is displayed, for example) /public_html/somedirectory/ through /public_html/.htaccess?
How do I disallow certain filetypes from existing in /public_html/somedirectory/* or to be uploaded?
How do I disallow apache from rendering any html, php, cgi, java, perl, etc files in /public_html/somedirectory/*?
So, if you had a public FTP (not the "anonymous FTP" cPanel can create, but a regular and single user account shared by everyone), how would you protect your free map hosting service from abuse? What protections would you setup? Etc.
I've done some searches but, didn't find what I was looking for.
Which of WHM/CPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin requires the least memory to function in an adequate manner and what would that amount of memory approximately be?
If there is a significant difference between the three?
A contral panel like WHM costs extra about $5 and I want to save this, if I don't find out, why it makes sense for me. I know WHM and cpanel and I understand, that I need this for configuration as a reseller or customer to configure all, but with a VPS I have root-access. So why do I need a control panel with a VPS?
