View 6 RepliesI would like to understand what is the difference between VPS and a VDS. I understand they sound the same, however from a cost stand point VPS is way cheaper than VDS, and I am not very sure of the reason.

But now, I'm in a project where the last programmer was a FreeBSD-guru, but not so good in PHP/MySQL, so they hired me to take over. So the project is hosted on a dedicated FreeBSD-server, and I need to get all sftp-accounts and change them. How do I do that? I have root-access with PuTTY, and I know the basic commands, but I don't know where to start looking for account-settings. Is there anyone who knows how to do this?
I also need to reset the root-login to MySQL. I've only done this on Windows, and I'm not to comfortable testing without knowing. I found this guide: ...
For hosting irc and shells i heard that the best choice for OS is the FreeBSD..
I would like to know if there are any toturials or if someone can write one.. (or give some tips) of how can i secure a machine running FreeBSD and used for irc + shells!
For example how can i install a firewall, a rootkit etc etc..
Also what about putting users at jail? (not allowing them see other dirs except theirs) how can i do that?
Also what about dont allow users use some commands like dmesg, ping, traceroute, and also how can i make them when they do ps -aux to only see their processes (to not be able see the other processes from other users..)
setup FreeBSD 7.2 amd64 on my dedicated server remotely. There is only problem I havnt access to KVM, but I have access to rescue system (linux image loaded into memory of the server, which enables me to perform any actions with help of linux tools on hard drive, it's easy to install any linux distro on the server - just format hdd and load files of OS, but I really dont know how to install FreeBSD by this way).
So, maybe someone can help me? If you have any tools for FreeBSD install or special images of it -
I'm getting the feared "input/output error" on /home partition on a freebsd server this server runs RAID-1, dmesg shows:
twed0: controller error - device failure (flags = 0x40)
g_vfs_done():twed0s1g[READ(offset=36997054464, length=16384)]error = 5
anyone knows what's my best action here? unmount /home and fsck it? or shutdown the server and replace a drive? (but, from this error message, I couldn't guess which drive is it... also, the 3dm raid monitoring didn't find any problem, so maybe it's the controller?)

What is the difference between virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server?
I know that a dedicated server means you have the physical computer as your server whileas virtual dedicated server means that they separate the physical computer into various parts and you have control over one of those separated parts.
But my question is mainly on the functionality of a virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server.
What can you do on a dedicated server that you can't do on a virtual dedicated server?
I've been doing some research and thought why not split the server into a bunch of virtual servers so I can offer both windows and linux hosting.
What is the best option for doing this?
I've come across VMware Server but also noticed centOS has "Virtualization provided by the Xen hypervisor with Virtual Machine Manager"
Assuming I go with splitting the server up, do I create a virtual centOS server and install cPanel on that one or on the main install?
Totally new to virtualization.
i'm trying to get a graphical interface for a VPS I recently bought. I'm currently running Ubuntu Minimal 8.01. I've read some instructions on how to install the GUI, and VNC. I cannot get this to work, does anyone have any insight?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have one main server with various virtual servers installed on it. however I do not succeed in restarting one of the virtual server. i receive javascript errors(see attachment).
I have put all the security settings to low,enable scripts etc. and still it doesn't work.
Just wanted to know how prevalent VS 2005 is now. We are basically virtualizing everything that moves as it is easier to upgrade to a new server and move the VPS around. Also we get to control the reboots etc.

Has anyone had experience with clustered.net as I have seen they have a package?
I am "simply" looking to run a Joomla! community site with an estimated 250 - 500 and then eventually up to 1,000 users onine at one time. The main attraction will be the user forums and profiles. I don't plan on having any videos or anything like that, but I will install a mambot that will integrate Google Video, etc.
I am trying to pick a VPS provider and from what I have read so far, I have kind of narrowed it down to a few places:
Spry.com
vpslink.com
knownhost.com
mediatemple.net
From reading alot so far, I would imagine I would need at least 256-512MB of RAM. Plesk sounds like a good control panel since I won't be reselling any of the space. Webmin sounds too hands on, and I know a little bit, but not a lot. The backup option that comes with Spry.com sounds tempting, but VPSLink has attractive price points. Mediatemple.net also gives you 1TB of bandwidth, a very attractive option.

As long as the site can run MySQL, I am happy. Joomla!, statistics software (any suggestions) and WordPress and that is about it as far as applications.
Any suggestions on what plans or who I should go with? My budget is about $t50 a month.
The subject line pretty much sums up my major problem. My site has been intermittently slow (somtimes slow, sometimes not) for... like since I can remember. So my site isn't that big
Sometimes for me it takes forever to load a vbulletin page, or even the main page of the site. I thought I had found the problem (a mysql-intensive script), removed it, improved things quite a bit, but there is still a long way to go!
Many site users report the same exact things.
"The site is sloowww" ...
"It wasn't slow yesterday but it is today" ...
"Today it's really fast, but last week I was having problems pulling up pages".
Its fustrating becase this is a VPS, and although I know how to use Cpanel, WHM is really big and I am not sure what I could do to speed up my website or to even begin to locate any potential problems.
My site is basically Joomla CMS, vBulletin BBS and 4images image gallery. The later two use a common user database. My current mysql usage is 327.55MB in total. Apache 1.3.34, PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 4.1.19-standard. Powered by WHM/Cpanel & Virtuozzo.
What should I do? Where can I start? Where can I look?

I'm just wondering if people could point me in the direction of cheap VPS's - like under $10/month, but ideally nearer $5/month if such a thing exists..
I'm looking for one to host slave DNS so I obviously want it to be fast and reliable but I dont need it to be 100% mega reliable in the sense that an outage here and there wouldn't be the end of the world as there will be no web sites hosted on it.
What is the cheapest VPS out there?
Question about IP's on VPS plans
A lot of providers say "2 IP's included" or something to that effect when advertising their plans.
What exactly does this mean? The number of dedicated IP's? The number of websites you can host?

Actually , I have some hosting customers in a Reseller Plan with HostGator.Paying $24.95/month,24GB(Space)/250GB (Bandwith) with WHM,CPanel,free WHMCS and free Enom Account and also a good support and great Uptime.

At the moment I run a small membership site. The site mainly consists of creating, downloading a lot of files using fwrite (Based on what the user enters).
Last months stats were just under 30GB of data transferred.
I'm currently with HostGator Business Plan ($12.99/month).
I run a LOT of database connections per minute. I am looking to increase the size of my membership site at which point it will be likely that I am running at least 1 DB connection per second.
Can anyone recommend me a decent priced VPS/Dedicated server for my needs?
The usage will probably be around 50GB/month.
HostGator have shutdown my site a couple times last month due to excessive number of running processes (Limited to 25) so I have decided to leave them.

I am completely new to VPS. Currently I have a website on shared hosting, but I'm starting getting problems with it: more precisely CPU exceeded and "slow MySql queries" problems - though MySql code is top notch. Traffic is about 100 G a month, and users' number growing day by day.
It seems I do need a VPS now. But since I am all new, I need to ask if a VPS account provides:
- MySql databases
- Cron jobs
- etc.
Basically, this question translates into this: does a VPS account offer everything else a shared hosting offers, and in addition guaranteed ram?
PS: I do need a CPU guarantee (don't know the exact name) meaning that if my processes get close to RAM limit, all processes are automatically diminished so that the site is still running... very slowly but running... (rather than killing the site)PS: I tried to find the VPS offers link as I am trying to get to see the current VPS offers of several companies, but can't find it. Do you mind giving the link?
Thank you, and sorry for the mess... I know I might be a pain in the a**, but I've got to ask in order to learn... You guys had a starting point as well, right?
