a website/s that you can maybe subscribe to it's emails that will notify you on hacks that are out, and how to prevent them?
I'm already aware of the ways you can secure your server first hand, but I'm talking about notifications that will keep you updated on the newest release of hacks out and etc.
I registered a domain and ordered an hosting package in a registrar. But my site was always down. So I ordered a VPS server in another webhosting site and transferred my site data to this VPS hosting.
I changed the nameserver of my domain and made it point to my VPS server IP. Everything is OK but there is some problem with the mail function. I can send e-mail to admin@mydomain.com from other e-mail addresses. But the mainbox admin@mydomain.com can't receive e-mail from other e-mail addresses. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Do I need to do some settings in WHM or cpanel?
Become my attention when we hire company/people to handle our server due our knowledge about manage dedicated server is low level and we run big site on that server.
Anybody know about tips how to prevent staff from managed service steal our site,even they has been trusted and handled hundred or thousand servers.As we know when we hired them for full managed service,they have our root access.
how i can prevent a site to take a full backup from his Cpanel?
i am sure there is a way to do that from the server
I'm on a Cpanel/WHM (latest release version) VPS with centos 4.6.
Over the last month or so, I have been routinely having /tmp directory hacks of various types (3-6 a week), often resulting in the processor spiking to 100% and load popping up.
What do I need to do to prevent /tmp directory attacks, but still mantain the functionality that the /tmp directory is intended for?
I have read conflicting reports on if you can have "hacks" for your vbulletin on a shared server. Shoutbox etc.
Shoutbox, chat, and forum games are a requirement for us. I wanted to go with a host that offers both shared and vps so I can upgrade as needed. With the addons should I just go straight for the vps? If so, how much ram do I need?
The temp free forum I am using right now is less than two weeks old with over 200 members, 10-30 on at any given time. This is by word of mouth, and as soon as we get set up with vbulletin and a server we will start advertising. We expect to stay on the small side, projecting 5k members with around 100 users average at a time.
I noticed when installing latest version of APF 0.9.6.3 over the previous version 0.9.6.2 it will import all the variable and ports settings from conf.apf and allow_hosts.rules files of the previous version. so there will be no need to edit or configure any thing any more when upgrading APF exept setting DEVEL_MODE to 0 and restart APF.

Ive had my other hostings from go daddy and midphase but i wasnt relly happy with the results and the downtime... ive read some forums about globat, if im not mistaken my web developer has made me a website from globat for almost a year and we had minor problems.

I'm considering switching hosting to NameCheap to save some money over my current hosting plan. I've never had a problem with their registrar service. I did a search for reviews on their hosting service. There were some negative ones a few years back when they were selling PeopleHost hosting, but they apparently have their own hosting now.
I found a few posts with issues, but there always has to be a few. However, if 3 of 10 customers have problems, it's a lot different than if 3 of 10,000 customers have problems. Anyone have an idea of how many sites they host?
Also, what's the latest word from people using their hosting services? Any good? How about response time and up time?
SecurityMetrics has determined that we are not COMPLIANT with the PCI scan validation requirement for our server.
The remote host is running a version of the Exim MTA which is vulnerable to several remote buffer overflows. Specifically, if either 'headers_check_syntax' or 'sender_verify = true' is in the exim.conf file, then a remote attacker may be able to execute a classic stack- based overflow and gain inappropriate access to the machine. *** If you are running checks with safe_checks enabled, this may be a false positive as only banners were used to assess the risk! *** It is known that Exim 3.35 and 4.32 are vulnerable. Solution: Upgrade to Exim latest version Risk Factor: High
HOW DO i Upgrade to Exim latest version? I am on WHM/Cpanel 11 (centos 5) I never did this before.
I'm using centos 5.2. To my surprise this only comes with php 5.1.6 and apache 2.0
I want the latest versions, php 5.2.7, apache 2.2.10, mysql 5.1 -- Are there any repositories for this available? (Or however I can upgrade with yum)
Is it safe to upgrade to the latest Linux kernel version 2.6.19.2 (released on January 10th, 2007) ? Is there any reported problems or have anyone faced issues after upgrading?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install some packages on my system and sometimes they depend on different, sometimes earlier, sometimes later versions of library packages on my system.
In that situation is it better to get the source for the package and recompile it with what you have on your system?
I am assuming that the dependent libraries the packages where compiled with were what was available on the package developer's system and do not necessarily contain new features lacking in the older versions.
Will recompling such packages from the source rpms fix the problems in most cases?
One particular group I persistently come across is the libcX.so libraries.
I am working on a survey about top hosting news website.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm desperately trying to find a hosting service that offers Linux hosting with latest versions of php (5.2.x), mySQL (5.1) and maybe CVS or SVN?
Space or bandwidth are not an issue (500mb space will be more than I'll ever need)
This will mainly will be a development/testing place.
I really need a host that actually updates to latest versions of php/mysql/apache.
(not the next day the upgrade is out but some time soon at least >_<)
Things like CVS / SVN, SSH access and access to change your own php.ini settings are more than welcome but I could live without.
I have Parallels Plesk Control Panel installed on Windows Server 2008 with PHP 5.2.17. In order to install moodle, it requires PHP 5.4.4 installed. How do I upgrade to the latest PHP or to version 5.4.4, are there any standard instructions?

A software developer has uncovered a bug in most versions of Linux that could allow untrusted users to gain complete control over the open-source operating system.
The null pointer dereference flaw was only fixed in the upcoming 2.6.32 release candidate of the Linux kernel, making virtually all production versions in use at the moment vulnerable. While attacks can be prevented by implementing a common feature known as mmap_min_addr, the RHEL distribution, short for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, doesn't properly implement that protection, Brad Spengler, who discovered the bug in mid October, told The Register.
Read the complete article at The Register. New kernels are available for Redhat and CentOS (obviously), and likely others who may be affected.
Can someone tell me which one is the latest stable kernel version available for centos 5 that should be running on the server?
Is
2.6.21.5-JS-grsec #1 SMP Thu Jul 12 20:38:34 CST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux.
Outdated?
has anyone successfully updated from bind9.2.x to BIND 9.5.0-P1? Were there any problems regarding settings, zone files, etc etc? Can you explain the process in detail for the update? One of my customers wishing to have this done, is running CentOS, I assume yum would be the best course of actions?

Please be sure to upgrade.
When you are hosting websites/game servers and then updates on your server pops up. What do you do? Restart the server and kick everyone off the server for 10min? Or leave it?
Whats the best course of action?
Lately we have been receiving a lot of complaints from our users who do not wish to update their scripts. I have been telling those users that they have to keep their scripts up to date if they want to avoid having that script exploited or used to send spam or other malicious intentions. The ramifications of a single user on a server not keeping their script up to date affects all of the users on the server.
I am just wondering how other hosting providers handle this. When a client threatens to leave because you don't allow them to run an outdated script, what actions do you take to try and keep the client?
I have a Windows VPS account with a well-known hosting company. According to their knowledgebase, they "apply Microsoft security updates directly from the hardware node. For this reason, they are not able to be applied from within your VPS."
I discovered this after attempting to apply a Service Pack on my VPS, which messed up my VPS. Now that I've learned this the hard way, here's my question: Is this true with other Windows VPS hosting companies too?
While I understand that I'm responsible for what I update on my VPS, I'm frustrated that the hosting company doesn't take more steps to prevent this from happening...
cPanel has released a very important update a short while ago. I don't normally post when updates are released, but this is one that should not be missed. More information can be found here:

and here:
[url](not sure when this will be updated).
Stay safe.
edit: the *second* I posted this, I found out there will be another tomorrow. Keep your eyes on layer1.cpanel.net.
