BQBackup?
Nov 15, 2008I signed up and paid for services from BQBackup.
But I have never gotten an email with my welcome details or login details on how to use it. I even emailed the sales and haven't gotten a reply.
How long does it normally take?

Apr 11, 2008My bqbackup account is completely down at this time. I can not access SSH, FTP nothing.
I sent email directly to Scott and to support too. My emails was send 2 hours ago. No reply yet.
I am a new client of bqbackup, so I have not any experience with them. So my doubth is if this kind of problem is normal and if 2 hours without reply of support is normal too?
Review On BQBackup
Jun 2, 2008I have been a relatively silent member here; heck, my last review was about 3 years back. As things turned out, I am still with Pair Hosting. Their service has been exemplary and the downtime zero. I really don't mind paying a premium price for the peace-of-the-mind factor. Several upgrades later, I have been on a dedicated server since about 2 years.
Our website - TeamBHP - has grown consistently and with that, the disc usage shot up exponentially. In fact, after we allowed forum attachments, our hard disk usage shot up to 60GB (and counting). Realising that its no longer possible for me to download a backup every weekend, I searched for offsite backup solutions on webhostingtalk. After some consideration, I got in touch with Mr. Scott Burns who replied promptly, with clarifications to my many queries. In fact, he even went out of the way in helping me set up automated backup scripts on my server (I ain't code friendly). The experience so far has been splendid and the backups work like a charm. BQbackups pricing is pretty reasonable considering the high quality of service that they provide.
Just wanted to say thanks to all of you at webhostingtalk as it is due to your reviews that I found both Pair & BQBackup. Keep the good work up!
No Support From Bqbackup
Aug 27, 2008I have been having alot of problems with BQbackup, amonth and a half ago it was storage problems, but right now the back ups for two servers are sporadic - for some reason it is only backing up random accounts, and not consistently. This is a huge problem - I have contacted support@bqbackup and scott@, over the course of a week and a half, but no response.
The FTP connection to the remote server just appears to hang when attempting to store the backup file. I stopped CSF for testing purposes and the backups are still uploading random data/time(173Mb, 25Mb, 140Mb). The server has the same firewall setup as the other servers.
If anyone knows of a reason this might be happening, or how to get bqbackup to answer emails,

View 7 Replies View RelatedBQBackup - What To Backup
Apr 18, 2008I've just started using BQBackup and am currently just backing up my /home/ directories.
However I'm wondering if there's any point in updating *everything*? Because isn't mostly everything else server-related stuff that'll get restored in the case of a drive failure (etc)?
Maybe I've worded that badly. Although if there was a drive failure, a VPS host would have to set-up the basics of the server (including Apache, PHP, MySQL etc), right? Hence all that you'd need to do (in a worst case scenario) is backup the /home/ directories?
Plus if you were to move to a new host, you wouldn't want to upload directories like /usr/, /var/ and /etc/ as it might mess up the system?
BQbackup Transference Rate
Jul 28, 2008I am seeing bqbackup transference rate when I use rsync very slow as:
18.72kB/s
I think this is very slow. What rate you have?
RSync W/ Windows- With SSH Keys & BQBackup
Jul 22, 2008TLDR version:
when populating and attempting to write keys to authorized_keys I'm receiving the following error:
Quote:
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'
Long version:
I've been grinding my wheels with this for a long time now. Basically I'm attempting to get rsync set up to backup some data directories on my Windows 2k3 Server through a batch file with task scheduler to bqbackup. I've been back and forth with both Scott and Rsync.net's tech support about this issue - both of which have been great... but essentially keep hitting the same impasse with Scott appearing to have hung his hat stating he's not familiar enough with windows and rysnc.net telling me to wait for their GUI client that should be launching "soon." In the meantime I'm just running the backup manually until I can get this key issue figured out.
Here's what's going on:
I've been mainly using BQ's Guide and Rsync's Guide to try and accomplish this.
After executing ssh-keygen -t rsa -N ''
I receive the following message:
Quote:
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa):
If I accept the default value it gives me I receive this error:
Quote:
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'.
Open /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa failed: Not a directory.
Saving the key failed: /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa.
Now my thoughts were this was occurring because my %homepath% is actually:
Quote:
c:documents and settingsadministrator.DOMAIN
(DOMAIN replacing actual text)
I'm able to change the default path location and create the RSA file elsewhere using the cygdrive format... so when prompted for the path to save I instead input:
Quote:
/cydrive/c/docume~1/administrator.DOMAIN/
and am able to create the RSA file... so mission accomplished... so far, I believe I'm past this, the snafu is now occurring on writing these keys to the authorized_keys file on BQBackup...
Quote:
C:Program FilescwRsyncin>rsync -av "/cydrive/c/documents and
settings/administrator.DOMAIN/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
<login>@<host>:.ssh/authorized_keys
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host '<host> (<ip>)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 18:02:d9:95:06:a9:70:74:86:b7:76:41:f6:71:a0:a4.
(<login>@<host> replacing actual login & host... it's definitely connecting)
That pesky '/home/Administrator/.ssh' pops up again. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the issue or not. I'm not even sure why the %homepath% for my administrator account on the server is set to administrator.DOMAIN, but AFAIK I can't log in to a local account on a Win2k3S box, correct?
Now, you'll notice that the command I issued to upload the keys I got from the RSync.net instructions. BQ's instructions for step 3 are pretty foreign to me.
I've gone further than this and attempted other things such as SSH'ing into my BQ server using putty and attempting to write the keys that way with no luck. I can't fully remember the errors I encountered doing so, though.
VPS Incredibly Slow, Huge Numbers Of Slow MySQL Queries For Plesk/Watchdog
Nov 11, 2008I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?
BQBackup, Constant Issues For Weeks With No Resolution In Sight
Aug 12, 2008We first noticed the issue on July 19th, Backups were taking a while to transfer from our own servers, and we were getting tickets from clients asking why this was happening. At the same time, it took about 4-5 minutes to log into the backup console. Issue seemed to correct itself so that backups were possible, and we assumed that scott would be aware of it and would work to resolve it.
Again on the 29th it slowed completely again. We immediately dispatched an email to their support email asking whats up, gave them detailed information such as access to the script and the output so he could monitor it.
The same day a few hours later we got a response that he would run the script and monitor it.
On the 31st, after not getting an update I asked what was going on. He said he ran the script, it seemed to stall for long periods of time and he would know more in the afternoon.
After not getting an update for ~5 days I asked what was going on and I expressed that i was not happy with the lack of communication/updates ont he situation. He updated me later that day saying that we weren't the only ones being affected. Fair enough, he is working on it. Thats all I wanted to hear.
Now ever since that email I received on the 5th (AUG) it has been up and down and all over the place.
After seeing him post on the forums I sent him a PM (10th August), summed up it was basically saying I had an issue, and I need it fixed. I figured since the PM system is usually pretty good at not losing them that he would see it and respond accordingly, that way there was no chance of it being lost from point A to point B as an email.
Well to this day, no response nor resolution.
I really have exhausted all points of communication, and I want to make it clear that I am not bashing them, when it works it's great. But maybe someone else affected can provide more insight..
Slow VPS
Apr 15, 2009At 15.00 PM (+1 hours here) my isp rebooted the hardware node. After the reboot there were some issues, they think it is possibly a DDoS Attack. They said the load on the host node was in the hunderds and my VPS was stopped because of the reboot and when I started it, HyperVM first told me it was not possible and after a few tries it started finally.
But the load was very high, and it still is. How can I check what the problem is that creates the high load?

Slow Mc
Jun 20, 2007I did nothing but my whole server got slower.
Especially the sshd and mc.
I solve the sshd problem cos I edited the conf file with UseDNS no so it faster right now but I couldnt do anything with mc.
I have to wait about 15 seconds to load it.
Any suggestion?
or any ideal why my server become slower?

DiscountASP.Net Slow In UAE?
Jul 16, 2009I have an ASP.Net + SQL Server 2008 Express website I was hosting with DiscountASP.net. Their service seems pretty solid, and I didn't have any issues hosting with them. Customer support was quick and knowledgeable.
However, I had noticed for quite some time that the website seemed pretty slow. Please note that the website isn't live yet, so it was only me and a colleague who were accessing it. I was accessing the website from Dubai, UAE and he from Doha, Qatar. Therefore traffic/load definitely wasn't the problem.
We tried an instance of the website on a VPS (the DB was still running on DASP), and it was blazing fast! The difference in speed was quite significant and sustained. What could the reason for this be? Is it because we can't expect good speeds from shared hosting? Or should I report this issue to DASP?
I would be paying around 5x of what I'm paying right now ($100 instead of $20) if I switched to a VPS, but if there are definite advantages, I would be willing to do so. I don't expect large volumes of traffic on the website for quite a while.
Slow Hosting
May 22, 2009I have a problem with my company's web hosting solution: occasionally we go through periods where we cannot seem to access our webpages very quickly. In different browsers (IE, Firefox) it takes literally minutes to load a single page. Most of the time the pages load very quickly from inside our office or outside.
Our self-hosting configuration is:
Windows XP Pro. w/ SP3
Apache 2.2.11 with PHP5.2.9-2
Norton Internet Security
Our internet connection is 10Mbps down / 900 kbps up cable behind a DLink router with port 80 forwarded over to the web server. Each page of our site is relatively small in size.
The same computer server as a mail server for about 10 email addresses.
When we encounter this problem, restarting the Apache service never seems to help, but restarting the computer does seem to help. XP was put on the computer with the latest updates about 3 weeks ago, so I am not concerned about spyware, particularly since this computer is only used as a server.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting steps to determine what the problem is? We don't have hundreds of visitors at a time in traffic as far as I am aware.
Slow Downloads
Apr 28, 2009I own the website [url]and it's hosted at Host Excellence. Recently there have been some downtime periods, and most importantly, I have noticed that downloads are very slow. For instance, when I download a file such as [url]I get an approximative transfer rate of 100-150 KB/sec (whereas most other sites download at 500 KB/sec or more). First of all I'd like to know if you guys get similar results, and what do you recommend? I have contacted my host about it, they seem to deny the problem. Should I switch? What to? I need something reliable and fast.
View 14 Replies View RelatedGeekStorage.com VPS Slow
Jan 6, 2009After my bad experiences with the other provider, I decided to go with GeekStorage.com for my hosting needs. I found plenty of positive reviews for them but so far, it doesn't look good :-/
The support was fast enough, but not really helpfull.
My basic problems, so far, are:
1. The VPS is _really_ slow. Simple operations like listing (ls) the contents of directories with 4-5 files takes around 1~1.5seconds. Editing /etc/vim/vimrc with vim takes around 3 seconds (to open, I mean).
2. While trying to install phpmyadmin from the default ubuntu repository took me almost 10 minutes, from downloading to installing the packages. Something my old Dual P3 (yes, pentium 3) did in less than 2 minutes. Accessing the phpmyadmin page (with a web browser) took around 3 seconds, and no, I don't mean loading the database scheme and stuff, just the login screen. It just stood there for 3 seconds, then instant load. No, it wasn't a DNS problem. My browser was just hanging at "Waiting..."
3. Bandwidth is _really_ low. Tried downloading different files located all around the world and I never seen more than 300k/s, max. Sometimes it drops to a painfull 150k/s and just stays there.
4. Timeouts. First night they got my VPS up I had small downtime periods. I was trying to edit the DNS files and I had like 20 disconnects in 1 hour. The connection was working for 2 minutes, then *poof* dropped for another 2 minutes.
5. The virtualization. I can't install simple software as pureftpd. All I get is "Jan 4 20:38:21 vps pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Unable to switch capabilities : Operation not permitted". Tried different workarounds (trying to avoid recompilation with --without-capabilities) but nothing worked.
As answers, all I got so far is:
- for the connection problem:
"Could you please provide the results of a traceroute when this problem is occurring? We will forward it to the DC and see if they can determine any network issues. Thank you, and apologies for the trouble."
Got the answer 1 hour after I asked them if there's something wrong, but it was too late... the problems were gone, for the moment.
- the slow response from the vps:
"2-3 seconds is understandable during peak hours, however we have not seen this issue come up on node3 since the server was rebooted recently. If the issues arise again
please let us know, we will check on the cause."
I *almost* understand about the peak hours, but it's not normal. I remember this was an issue with *shared* hosting. This was one of the reasons I got a VPS in the first place.
Basically they're telling me that during peak hours my customers will have to wait 3 seconds for my websites to load. You know what the average user does after waiting that many seconds for a page to load? Closes the browser or types another address.
I have the VPS512 plan (the $55 one + $3 safetyweb protection) + extra 50% bandwidth and disk space. My VPS is located on NODE3.
Anyone else experiencing the same issues (maybe on another node?) I'm still hoping for this issues to go away, maybe it's something temporary, but if this happens for the whole week, I'll definatelly ask for money back (they have a 60day return policy).

Jun 17, 2008I had configured webserver on one of my CentOS server. It worked fine for few months but after sometimes it started giving problem. I was not able to browse website. The I found that it was timing out so I increased timeout period from php and the website started working.
But still the website is taking 30-35 seconds to load. I checked the server but I couldn't find any solution. Please guide me to get this resolved.

Once I am logged in, it is fine.
I have tried restarted SSHD via WHM but it makes no difference. Trace route looks ok and all other services seem fine as well.
Server load is around 0.00 and around 500mb ram spare.
