Should I trust my host with providing correct BW stats? Is there any way I can confirm those stats? (I don't have any tracking software or log analyzer installed because it uses too much resources.) The log file is tiny. Probably no more than 12-24 hours logged.
View 7 RepliesIf you upload your website(s) to any given host provider, what security do you have? None, they are in control of your website, if you're:
1. Late on payments.
2. Publish content they don't like.
3. Exceed your limits in any other way.
They can cut you out, close you down.
The only excellent (!) way, to be in total control, is to host your own website, on a dedicated server, in your own home, with a dedicated line, right or not?
I look after a number of sites and monitor their stats. We use both webalizer and AWSTATS so we can have a comparison. Up until recently the stats for both of them where relatively the same, webalizer usually showing higher numbers as it doesn't filter bots but the progression of increase and decrease in stats was proportional. However, over the last few months a curious trend is appearing, the stats in AWSTATS are decreasing every month whereas the stats in Webalizer are increasing, the gap between them now is huge.

People, DONT EVER TRUST THEM!
They prices are cheap but they are totally Untrustworthy!
You could pay more than that to have a real server not 15 days a month server!
In case of knowing my issue:
I have bought one of they september offer server, its a core2due 2.13Ghz and 2GB RAM and 2 x 160GB HDD about 14 days ago and my server is now down like 48 hours or more and I have placed 4 - 5 tickets now with every language I know either respectful or swearing, and no answer at all!
they simply ignored my tickets, they live chat is mostly offline (maybe online only 2 - 3 hours a day)
and I have no choice of having control on my server, even the reboot port is a ticket placer as emergency priority and actually no one answer you or even read you ticket!
Guys, you better dont fall in they scamming program by seeing they cheap prices and being tempted.
RBLs are a key part of blocking spam, what RBLs do you trust now? Spamhaus? Spamcop? Obviously, with hosting companies themselves being the victim of renegade RBLs who list people inappropriately you know which you trust or not..which are they?
My numbers show nearly 80% of mail (read: mail, not spam) is blocked by a simple RBL entry of Spamhaus.
I tend to trust Spamhaus, with enough precautions in place, which others?

Thanks,
Then I’m ready to sign-up, if we can amend the contract to state the
following (changes in bold):
“7U customers are provided with one metered outlet with a limit of 2 amps.
If customer exceeds 2.5 amps, customer will be allocated a full cabinet,
asked to move their equipment to the cabinet, and the full cabinet rate of
$600/month will be added to the monthly bill for the remainder of the term."
Let me know if that’s acceptable and I’ll amend the copy I have, sign it and fax it back to you.

Would YOU sign this contract? I've only heard good things about Hurricane Electric on this board, but I hate having to trust someone who probably works on commission.
I am in the process of upgrading from apache 2.2.21 to apache 2.4.3. I'm using apache lounge's compiled 2.4.3 by the way. I'm working on a windows 7 SP1 64 bit workstation.
My old 2.2.21 was configured to use ssl with client pki authentication. When I configure 2.4.3 with the ssl options and move the CAs, private key and server certificate from my old 2.2.21 instance I get the following error.
I am starting a online sotre. Someone told me to keep third party seals for good response.
Please recommend me which seals to be used
Hacker Safe, TRUSTe, BBB, and Trust Guard
I think Trust Guard seal give a multi package for all security,privacy and business verification. Shall people know it? Is it worth money?

Below are some results from various stats programs from one day's activity on our site. webaliser and awstats give sort of similar results (although still 6400 pageloads difference), but these results differ so much from what google (analytics) says.
can anyone think of an explanation for this? does google have a different definition of a visit compared to webaliser and awstats? for these latter two is visits = hits?
Webaliser 4000 visits, 17600 page views. Aw stats says 3800 visits, 24000 page views. google says 637, 1500 page views. adsense says 3,600 page views.
does anybody know if there is a possibility to circumvent godaddy´s pathetic stats they offer on shared accounts?
-I am not quite sure what tells you the unique visitors (always a good one to know )
-It doesn´t tell you what robots crawl your site. It just says: robots 28 (great!)
-The graphs are all reversed. Meaning that the now date is always on the very left hand corner of the x-axis towards the 0 intersection. This is pretty pathetic as it goes against anything human brains are accustomed to.
I´ve got to stop venting now. I would appreciate if somebody knows where I can find the unique visitors (hosts served maybe?) and how I can install a better stats program on Linux shared hosting at go daddy.

When I go through my AWStats under "Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines)" I see several domains that have linked to me. When I visit these sites they are generally porn and drug sites that do not contain a link. Some of the sites redirect you to other sites. When you look up these domain names they are all from Russia.
These sites account for mulitple hits as high as +14.5%. These sites do not represent the content on my sites.
My questions are.
How do I stop this? I have found banning IP addresses does nothing.
How are they doing this?
Can this lead to your site being blacklisted?
Anything good out there that you recommend that does not need a lot of set up?

Recently started using HAProxy for load balancing / failover, and have the usage down. But, no matter how much I search I can't find one simple thing...
Anyone know of a way to customize the status page?
Seems to be a directive actually in the binary...I can't find a conf, include, anything to pass any customization to it. I'm talking about the /haproxy?stats URI.
I've a few similar video sites and haven't noticed much difference over the years with their stats. They usually average anywhere from 50-100mb downloaded per day.
Suddenly this month, one site is practically going off the scale...600-700mb...up to 1gb downloaded per day...I'm like...wtf?! The other site is reporting normal BW.
I'm using awstats with hotlink protection enabled.
Is something or someone draining my bandwidth?
I have always had a US based shared hosting service for my sites, but I'm about to move to a VPS and am not sure where to shop.
My unique visitor stats per continent, for my main site, for the last month, are:
Europe 24,889
Americas 16,002
Asia 1,446
Oceania 609
Africa 208
Is a Europe based VPS a no-brainer with these stats? Does it really make a difference?
I thought i may as well post this here having already contacted my host. Just thought you knowledgable people may be able to give me some insight to this?
Well i am creating a sub-domain, and i obviously have site stats with AWStats for my primary domain name. If i was to create a sub-domain say example.sitename.com would i still receive the site stats for the sub as well as the primary one?
Anyone had any experience on this?
as midphase are good but generally take ages to get back to me and their response are rather general,
because of following logs server disbled my dir . But i can what they tyr to say to me ?
for example what do following numbers mean ?

I have a pretty active phpBB forum. I was looking at my stats today and I notice some strange referrals. I checked it out and it and it is a bunch of spam sites. But with a link to one of my threads in the bottom (different per spam site).
- The spam sites have nothing related to my content
- The link to the threads in my forum has no relation to each other.
- Out of all the sites to put, why mine? My forum is not a very very popular forum.
I can post the link if it will better understand the above situation.
I just like to know why and what purpose does it serve? Also is it bad for me? As it is a spam site is linking to my forum. I dunno if search engines will think my site is a spam site as well.
My current "manager" it his all "great time" couldnt fix irt whole day so I am looking for experienced manager to check and fix my problem, let me know how much you charge per 1h and what's your experience,
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't like having to come here for help, but I'm stumped on this one and my server tech isn't really helping - perhaps I'm overlooking the obvious. I have an addon domain on which stats are not updating. As of the 11th of this month, the site had over 1.2k uniques and right around that time we did a server move (on the 10th so it may have started then).
It is only for this one addon domain that things aren't working. It registers 0 new anything since then with the exception of yesterday when my tech says he repeatedly refreshed the page and it registered a grand total of 2 uniques. Back to 0 again so far today. I know the site is getting traffic.
Secondly, Webalizer shows very minor traffic in its categories with numbers that remain in the low single digits.
I recently installed Urchin on a cPanel server (RHES 4), all sites got its profile added into Urchin database, but when I run urchin for 1 site manually, it freezes on 0% and processing... Logs files have 0644 as explained in google Urchin manual ...
Also, using IP:9999, and viewing the profiles and its stats show 0 stats generated, but going to www.site.com/cpanel, then to Webstats - Urchin, shows every day with graphs, everything is ok...
Does anyone know how to disable cpanel urchin access, and only use the IP:9999 access to manage and view all statistics...

I have seen many people here showing the stats below:
Server Load 0.04 (4 cpus)
Memory Used 21.9 %
Swap 0.999 %
Disk vzfs (/) 6 %
and i have done lots of search on google and in this forum as well,
I have no idea how you can generate stats in this kind of format in SSH.
How can I arrange so stats are not loaded?
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
This is cPanel stats runner on server.dealsreferals.com!
While processing the log files for user stnudee, the cpu has been maxed out for more than a 6 hour period. The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of this email is
09:35:21 up 6 days, 22:32, 0 users, load average: 2.76, 19.13, 52.20
You should check the server to see why the load is so high and take steps to lower the load. If you want stats to continue to run even with a high load; Edit /var/cpanel/cpanel.config and change extracpus to a number larger then 0 (run /usr/local/cpanel/startup afterwards to pickup the changes).
It being the end of the month, I was reviewing the stats for my site, oldWithoutMoney.com, a place where I put my songs for folks to listen to.
The site typically receives minimal traffic, topping out at 100 unique visitors / 200MB each month, as expected.
But, I did note that there were an additional 126 'Error 404' (file not found) hits.
Might this be an indication of attack attempts? In any event, how might I better determine the nature of the URL requests generating the errors.
