Avocent KVM With HP Adapters
Jul 21, 2009I bouth a new Avocent DSR2161 KVMovIP Switchs and I'm having a little problem. Since I know Dell/HP/Avocent (and maybe some other else) use the same type of hardware to make this KVM Switchs, including the local System (OSCAR).
With this switch I bouth 16 KVM CAT5 PS/2 Adapters from HP.
When I connect them to the KVM Switch it shows a Green Light that means there is a cable in there but the orange light (I think it's the "act" light is turned off. In OSCAR no adapters appear.
When I plug in/out a adapter using a firmware v3 (latest Firmware from Avocent) it says (in debug mode):
rcmProcessRipPortStatusMsg: port 7
rcmRequestRipTableEntry: port 7, chan 1
rcmProcessRipTableMsg: old packet type!
RIP STATUS(RipTable) port:7 chan:1 In0 On1 Rip1 UA1 Up0 STS=71
rcmProcessRipTableMsg: port 7, chan 1, swChannels 0
rcmProcessRipTableMsg: ERROR RIP not found!
Avocent (DSR2020) Or Lantronix (SecureLinx SLC16)
Sep 21, 2009We are shopping for some good KVMoIP switches.
Below is a must! Have to be RELIABLE! (I've had bad experiences with Raritan.)
Price; as cheap as we can get!
16 ports minimum (if price-per-port is good, 32 ports would be fine.)
Virtual Media support (we do a lot of firmware upgrades.)
We are looking at the Avocent DSR2020, but it is not cheap. The switch itself can be found for around $3,750-$4,200.
Since I've read much here about Lantronix, have anyone had good experiences with SLC series? The SLC16 unit is WAY cheaper than the Avocent DSR unit. It can be had for like half the price. Plus it will come with dual PSU.
I take the dongle for both is about the same. $100 a pop.
Or are there any other KVMoIP companies we should be looking at? Thanks for your advices.

May 2, 2009Can you recommend me backup solution?
Currently I use rsync and I am thinking to use R1Soft CDP
Its worth what is your oppinion?
Backup Solution
Jun 2, 2009We now have a WHM Vps and also a Dedicated for reselling VPS both located in the UK. At the moment our WHM Vps backs up to an 'Unlimited shared hosting package' but we're sure we're going to be kicked off sooner or later because were using about 50GB storage. We were wondring what everyone else uses to backup? Another disk attached to the server?
Offsite? And how you deal with the extra bandwidth a backup would use.
We now need a solution that can backup our new VPS server and our WHM server. It needs to be in the UK/EU to comply with data protection.

Backup Solution
Jan 14, 2009I almost signed up for the crissic backup service, but I waited because I saw some complaints.
I definitely remember somewhere around here--someone posted that crissic was reselling this backup solution.
Does anyone know what this website? Or Can someone post a similar website?
I really want an offsite backup source, But I really can't afford to pay an extra $60-$80/month for a VPS with the actual datastorage I'll require.
Liquidweb Vps Solution
Apr 8, 2009we have a vps hosting package through liquidweb which offers 200gb of bandwidth.
Recently we got a bill with an overage fee of $2527.5 for 3370GB additional bandwidth. I looked at all the cpanel logs and since we had the hosting account we never went over 10gb including the month they said we went over 3370 GB. I put a ticket into liquidweb and they said we launched "Multi-media services" during the same month of the overage, resulting in the overage. We did no such thing, the only thing we did was add content to our website. In the end they want us to pay the bill without offering any log or idea where the bandwidth came from. I'm just wondering if theres anything we can do other then just taking a bill for $2500 of unknowns.
Reseller My Best Solution
Sep 12, 2008Been trying to decide the best solution to my problem with my current hosting limitations (site has outgrown current shared hosting...getting lots of suspensions due to high load or "exceeds CPU" errors.
Since I am a developer/designer, I'm wondering if a reseller account would be a solution to my problem.
I was looking at managed VPS as well and trying to educate myself on all the ins and outs.
With a reseller account, are you still sharing with others?
What are the limitations?
Would I have better performance with a reseller account than a regular budget priced shared account? (currently w/BlueHost)
Please educate me so I can FINALLY make a decision. I'm so sick of the problems I've been having lately and eager to find a good solution.

Redundant VPS Solution
Apr 14, 2007I have a few VPS's, the main one has cPanel/WHM and runs all my sites / email / DNS and MySQL DB's. Heres a little info:
VPS1 - CentOS 4.4, cPanel/WHM, runs all domains (OpenVZ)
VPS2 - CentOS 4.4, Webmin, Slave DNS to VPS1 using Webmin cluster (OpenVZ)
VPS3 - CentOS 4.4, Webmin, Slave DNS to VPS1 using Webmin cluster (Xen)
However, if VPS1 fails for say 24 hours, im screwed!
So, my question is can I get some kind of redunadancy built in somewhere. For example if someone is trying to access my domain "mydomain.com" and the main VPS is down, then the request for the site would go to VPS2, or VPS3...
The same for the mail server, if some is sending mail to one of the domains on the VPS, and the main VPS was down, the mail would be sent to my other VPS's.
I just don not like the fact there is a single point of failure!
I do have WHM managed Weekly and Monthly backups of all cPanel accounts etc.
Best Windows VPS Solution
Jul 17, 2007i am currently using Ultimahosts.net shared hosting, and i am more than happy with them. Their support & DotnetPanel are two best things.
Now i am planning to move my sites to Windows VPS. i cannot host it with them because their packages for VPS are bit expensive for me. As it starts from 69$.
i am looking for someone with their level of service & support. Can you guys suggest me any windows VPS solutions. i want to sleep peacefully after signing up.
i signed up one VPS with easyCGI last night and their sales person promise me to get it ready within 4 hours, after 16 hours from that i just canceled my order without using anything because they didn't process my order in 16 hours (i hope i will get my money back!).
i have read too many views about 1&1, gate.com,godady, solarvps, powervps,jodohost etc... but as i found some -ve comments i dont think i can carry on with them.
i am thinking of something solid & permanent. i dont wanna to move my sites every 2 months ........
i am looking something around 50$. Thanks in advance for any good suggestions. Please do not reply any marketing/sales stuff. i am looking for genuine feedback.
As many of hosts doesn't offer too much SQL so i am thinking something with 512MB RAM and running SQL express on the same machine.
What Is The Best Solution For An Internet TV
Apr 23, 2007We are a group who are working on an internet TV project. We are hoping to achieve over 4000 viewers at the end of next year. We are trying to see what would be a best solution:
Should we buy the bandwidth and server up front and work our way up to the objective or should we start small and buy a bandwidth dedicated server for the start.
I would appreciate your guidance about how to build such a server and how to buy the bandwidth and also the cost for such a thing.

Oct 25, 2008I recently got my hands on a few unmanaged VPS to play around with and learn how to work on them (eventually plan on going dedicated, so this is a preparation for that). I know the basics of working on Linux via command line, but beyond that I'm clueless. Does anyone know of any good guides for setting up and managing a LAMP environment on a VPS?
I'm mostly interested in CentOS and Debian.
I can find guides specifically for 1 or 2 things, but so far the only useful (complete) guide I've found is the one here. I'm not sure if that's still up to date on todays standards as it was written 2 years ago?
Things I'm looking for:
- Installing and setting up a LAMP environment
- Jailing SSH
- User/Group management
- Firewall setup / security hardening (I've read the thread in VPS tutorials as well as the one in Technical and Security Tutorials about securing your hosting company)
2 more questions...
1) Wondering what would be better... webmin or ispconfig? From what I understand webmin is more OS oriented and allows easy configuration of various parts of the OS while ispconfig is more hosting oriented? I take it running both at the same time is not recommended/needed?
2) Still not entirely sure what OS to choose. In my VPS atm I have the following available (along with the likes of Ubuntu, Gentoo and SuSE but I think the list bellow is what I should use). Would love if someone could list some advantages/disadvantages of each.
- centos-5-i386-afull
- centos-5-i386-hostinabox571
- debian-3.1-i386-minimal
- debian-4.0-i386-minimal
Appreciate any input.
Thanks for reading.

WHM Management
Oct 8, 2007How do i go about setting up a DNS zone using WHM for my new dedicated server? Also, what does record type mean (as in: A, A6, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, TXT, WRK)?
If someone can point me to a good tutorial or reference so that i can get my server up and running with multiple domains, I'd appreciate it.
DNS Management
Sep 6, 2007We run around 300 domains for our clients; in the past we've believed that it was better to outsource DNS hosting, we've used a few different local companies but now we're getting to the stage that I'd like to consolidate all the records to one company.
Does anyone have any reccomendations for ultra reliable, easy to manage? Or is it better to put a dedicated machine in and run our own service?
I've got a few domains with Zoneedit, but I want to way-up some alternatives, I don't think the zoneedit admin is particularly user friendly and it's quite expensive $1000+ a year for what we need.

Solution For Scalable Site
Apr 15, 2009Some Background
I've been running a website now for about 8 years. It's gone through one name change. We've been with a company called flexihostings for a long time on a dedicated server but I think the sites design wasn't scalable and because of that the site has been running from one server and struggling as the traffic increased. Recently the traffic got to a point where the costs of serving the site from one location lead to it's demise. The site was slow, unresponsive and the answer from flexihostings was more about putting in more RAM, rather then us thinking about new technology. Some of the guys decided to pull the plug because of this before fixing the site but I'm going to start something back up from scratch but build it with scalability in mind to actually reduce the costs and pay for what I use.
Site Needs
- Probably 2-3 Terrabytes of Bandwidth (to be scalable)
- Site Ability to handle Flash Video Encoder etc for upload of user videos. (Scalability later as traffic grows)
- Site ability to handle lots of database activity. Approx 30-40 queries a second as the site is very dynamic. (Or is there a better way to do this)
- Ability to handle API's later on other sites from the information on the new site.
Ideas on Rebuilding a Site like this.
- Amazons S3 Cloudfront Service to handle media such as images and video to reduce bandwidth. Instead of my server hosting these files should I use this service to put all my images and video up onto so that the bandwidth is paid for externally. This would mean I don't need a crazy amount of bandwidth on the server package I select, is this correct? I'm also reducing the bandwidth as they serve these images like a CDN.
- A spin off is to use a content delivery network. Again what's peoples thoughts on this if traffic starts low and increases over time. Is this something that is affordable up front and scalable as the traffic increases.
Love to hear people's ideas on this. The traffic I'm thinking of is starting around the 50,000-100,000 uniques a month with 500,000 page views. This is what the old site was getting and I won't have any issues getting it back there quickly, to be honest that isn't that great but we were climbing very fast when it crashed averaging 100 new members a day. This then has heaps of possibilities, 2 to 3 million uniques and the equivalent meaning if the page view ratio was the same 30,000,000 page views. (Hmm does that seem unrealistic) Either way I want to be on something that is scalable and need a host that understands this.
Whats your advice, go dedicated to put everything on anyway, or have multiple servers to handle different things. Or is shared hosting fine for this is I share the content around the web?

Best Solution For Streaming Video
May 17, 2008I have a client who wants a bulletproof video feature for his information/news site.
What's the best bet? Some of the FMS companies I've looked at give you 500 simultaneous streams for like $900/mo. What happens when #501 logs on? This is a series of sports events where they expect peaks on certain days, then long periods in between with lower, but still steady, traffic.
100 Mbps Switch Solution
Jun 24, 2008I have a dedicated server with Dual Xeon, 2 GB RAM, SATA Raid 0 and 10 mpbs port. When i checked from WHM i see, my RAM is never more than 20% used. I have a forum (phpBB) and few blogs which gets somewhere around 30,000 visits per day (forum + blog total visitors).
Now the problem is sometimes my site takes pretty much time to load despite memory load is not more than 20%?
Now if i add another site with even 1000 visits per day, the other sites seems to be highly affected.
Will my site performance improve if i upgraded to 100mbps port?
