United Kingdom Dedicated Server
Dec 12, 2008Currently we've got around 15 dedicated servers in the USA, 1 in the Netherlands and 1 in Germany. We're currently expanding a bit and we've just put up another server in Malaysia and now wanting to hit the UK.
I'm after a dedicated server with specifications not to dissimilar to the following:
- Core2 CPU (E6600 or better)
- 2GB RAM (or better)
- 250GB HDD (or better)
- 100MBit NIC
- 2000GB b/w (or better)
- Windows 2003 (Standard Edition preferred)
We're looking to pay no more than 100/mo. Server will be used for gaming purposes.
I'm after a respected company that will accept PayPal. I'll ask that you do not suggest companies which do not accept PayPal or ask for ID verification because it's extra hassle I don't want to deal with.
I've had a look at RapidSwitch which seem good but I can't find ANYTHING about payment methods on their website which is a bit daft (unless I'm blind).
United Kingdom For A Dedicated Server
Dec 11, 2008My client operates a very busy online store ( i.e 500 high value orders per day, etcetra)
ps we dont require round robin etcetra yet- will look into that afterwards- first stage is getting the client of my box as my other online stores are suffering.
All my servers are based in the same datacentre USA and recently seem to be suffering connectivity issues.
anyways question is:
Can someone rec me a good datacentre / good hosting company. BASED IN THE UK with a UK DATACENTRE
I've been looking but got no idea who to trust. we used to run our own hosting company so i dont trust those tophosts or awards sites- ( they can be bought)
UKFAST i wil search on here in a sec but their sales pitch is soo hard and slick its too good to be true
unitedhosting has been really good in terms of replying to sales tickets but NO TELEPHONE CONTACT! even for sales. very odd.
Colocation In The United Kingdom
May 7, 2008does anyone know of any datacenters in the uk? looking to get a server with lots of hd space but dont wanna pay some of the extortionate prices around as the rest of the server doesnt need to be powerful or anything. im in uk so would be nice not to have to ship a server overseas

United Kingdom Colo Hardware
Feb 22, 2008Recently I have gone from Dedicated Server to Colocation,
I contacted a UK colo and provided to them what I was currently hosted on and they advised me what I needed.
Web Server
Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 250gb HDD Raid 1
SQL Server
Quad Core, 4GB Ram, 250gb HDD Raid 10
Everything has been running fine.. Until now.
My websites have got alot more busy and Apache keeps using up both RAM & CPU although Apache was optimised this did not make much difference.
My main website is a vBulletin forum with about 100,000 users and anything from 1000 - 5000 users online.
I was also under DDoS Attack a few days ago which seems to have subcided.
BUT, now Im looking to expand my setup and have a few questions on how I should do it.
Here is how I think I should do it?
I have already purchased another Web Server, same spec as above and expanded my space in the Datacenter to 11U (1/4 Rack)
But looking to purchase:
Load Balancer
I have been looking at the following Load Balancers... any suggestions or any info on if these will do what I need?
[url]
or
[url]
any idea what the difference is between the above?
NAS Storage
as above
[url]
or a Dell Storage server?
So, It would be multiple Web Servers reading from the Storage Server.
I would also like to purchase the following so I have more control over the servers
KVM
This one?
[url]
or this one?

Remote Reboot

Recommend A Shared Hosting Company In The United Kingdom
Sep 2, 2008I am currently on shared hosting (i will not mention who with) however since I have been with them my site has been down about 4 times. The good thing is my site hadnt launched it was just a placeholder page so nothing critical.
Due to the above issues, I need to change host, it is essential there is no downtime, its a new site and I dont want our reputation to suffer due to downtime.
What hosts would you recommend from the UK, thank you.
I started another thread in the VPS section but i do not know how to close it,

Apr 25, 2009my host freaked up when getting a letter from a company about DMCA, and quickly shut my site down.
Does anyone know of a dedicated server hoster who does not jump the gun and shut down sites from a little Cease and Desist letter for around 299 EUR a month?
The site gets roughly in the thousands of hits per day.
(Off-shore hosting is fine too)
A Great Hoster : VPSLAND.com
Sep 21, 2008I was searching a few days ago for a good vps hosting. When I found out VPSLAND.COM, I was very surprised. Their prices are the cheapest on the net and, I thinked it was an hoax. So I did a bit of search on the net, and I found many negatives comments on them. But, I decided I try them anyway and buy a Windows VPS... and I think it was the good option !
The "supposed" downtimes and "non-replying support team" are totaly fictive. You want service, then, you get it with VPSLAND.COM. They offer great VPS plans at a price you will never see at other webhosters. And, since 3 days, no downtime.
I would like to hear people's stories about VPSLAND.COM if anyone haves.
Outages Are Everyday. How To Talk With Such Hoster?
Aug 7, 2008I have a problem with hoster. Purchased virtual hosting. All worked fine for more than a year. I did not make any changes in websites recently. Last several days one issue appears constantly: website starts downloading very slowly (30-60 sec for 20 kb page, or connection timeout). And each day their tech support don't realy want to help me. Only after 3-4 emails they fix the problem, but on the next day the problem arises again. I suppose they just ignore my problem. Possibly server is overloaded by other sites, or software was not tuned correctly, or something like that, and hoster does not want to solve the problem.
What can I do with this hoster?
Script (php / MySQL) Friendly Hoster That Uses Cpanel
Jun 6, 2008I suspect people asking about tips on good hosters all the time here, and I'm no different.
But I can start off with the basic req. that might narrow it a tad atleast.
- - - - - - -
1 : Cpanel;
w.cpanel.net
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPanel
This is the first basic req. I have.
I myself are not the most skilled coder in the world, nor is the others around me and we like Cpanel since it "saves" us from confusion very often.
- - - - - - -
2 : Script php / mySQL friendly;
We use CMS scripts (MXP, Joomla, e107, etc) for our communities and forum scripts (phpbb, vBulletin, etc) at all times. So a good loading time is a must, nothing is as devestating for a communitie than a slooow forum.
- - - - - - -
3 : And the regular ;
BIG and cheap. We just doing noncommercial / fun / silly projects / communities so it needs to be cheap and with a good size. Have some photographers + communities with albums and that eats up a good chunk of webspace after awhile.
- - - - - - - -
We greatly appriciate any tips on hosters that covers this. Support don't have to superfast, we pretty relaxed when it comes to that, but the other reqs. is needed.
If you know or even better USE a hoster like this please let us know. We badly need one at the moment. We would be very happy if you could post or PM us a link/s to your or other sites you know of that is active and uses scripts like;
CMS systems
Forum
Photoalbums
So we can check the loadingtime over here in Sweden.

Dedicated Hoster Incl. Good Mailserver & Global Connection
Apr 7, 2009I am currently with a smaller US-provider where I am running a dedicated gentoo server with a dozen domains (all small stuff, mostly sme/private websites) and 2 dozen email accounts.
The nice thing about the current provider is that he lets me run sub-accounts where the holders of those accounts have their own billing. I let them run a domain/website on my server since its no extra cost for them, but they pay for the domain and extra email space for example w/o me having to care for it. They basically offer a minimum package and add every single thing on top of it, which I like since I do not need any webpage builders, templates whatever else. I rather only pay what I take.
Basically I am happy except for the connection speed, specially for the email. I am in Asia and other people using this server from Europe, and the time it takes to connect, up/download data to the server and to download larger emails is simply out of the normal.
any recommendations there? I am currently paying 75 USD/Mo + domain names. I think this is also a bit on the high side given that the server hardware is a bit out of date by now.
I am looking at the minimum to relocate only the email hosting to some faster service, which would have to have a reasonable storage size (>= gmail) with POP/IMAP access and of course to use my own domain names.

Canadian CoLocation Servers In United States
Feb 4, 2008I have a questions for you other Canadians out there co-locating machines in the United States. How do you deal with shipping back servers to you that need repaired? I had to ship a server back to me via UPS recently and to my surprise it arrives to me with a $150 COD charge on it. I ended up talking to UPS and it ended up being $50 for brokerage fee's. But I'm wondering if there is any secret some of you are using to get the machines back without crazy border fee's? This is the first instance I've had to ship something back as the provider would not diagnose the machine on site or even help with shipping I had to go through UPS and then had to rely on the provider marking the right reason for shipping which they did not do.
View 11 Replies View RelatedReliable Hosting And An Honest Registrar -Outside- Of The United States
Jun 24, 2008I am pretty tired of the constant interference and harassment from competitors that is almost encouraged by rediculous US laws.
I would love to find reliable hosting and a honest registrar outside of the United States/Canada/EU.
My needs are somewhat simple - I have my own server at the Planet right now but a reliable (not oversold) VPS would suit me just fine.
Price is not a huge issue providing the fees are justified by the services received.
Improve Performance- Web Server, SSH Server, And Mail Server
May 8, 2007I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server.
What I've got running:
Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix
One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.
Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.

Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Don't Have Root Access To Server As It Is A Webfusion Dedicated Server
Oct 16, 2013I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??
Urchin 5 / Google A . Transfering From Server To Server (Serial Already Activated)
Nov 21, 2006I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.
However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices
Obtain Demo License
Buy License
Activate Pre-Purchased License
I choose ‘Activate Pre-Purchased License’ pop in the Serial number and complete the registration then…
---------------------------------------------------------
Urchin Licensing Center -- Error!
An error has occured during your transaction, please use the back button and correct the problem. The specific error message is:
• Unable to generate a license. Some possible reasons:
Your serial code is currently active <<< How do I disable it and use it on another server?
---------------------------------------------------------
So all I want to do is deactivate the serial and reactivate it on another server.
Does anyone have experience with this or a similar problem or have a solution to this problem. Any help be most appriciated.
Or even a Contact Number so that i can get some one over the phone!
Cpanel Domain Name Server (DNS) Setting For Email On 2 Seperate Server
Nov 7, 2009This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?

ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.
