I have 3 servers and use cPAnel which I will continue to do so as I see they have the greatest lifespan compared to the rest.
However, could anyone advise what will be the most resource-saving and easiest way to backup all customers data in case of failure?
How often do you guys backup?
Care to share your experience?
I compiling a list of ways that vps accounts differ from normal shared hosting, both for myself and other vps newbies (will be published as an article)
I realise not all of these are limitation on all shared hosting accounts or indeed availabale on all vps accounts, but they represent the general rules for each.
So far I have:-
i) high or unlimited number of simaltanious processes.
ii) self setting process time out
iii) high or unlimited simaltanious pop3 account access
iv) guarenteed ram, process access and connectivity
v) high or unlimited email sending allowance (subject to usual spam policies)
vi) unlimited domains
vii) resource allocation per domain
anything else...speciaically im looking for way that shared hosting account are usually limited (like with the above mentioned simaltanious processes) that is not normal for vps accounts.
i recently find out that I don;t have an database backup for one of my biggest websites.
The database I'm talking about has 228 tables (198.6 MB)
In the backup file I only get this :

The other databases I have tried are all ok, but none is this big. Is there any size limit ?

Just a general question regarding the frequency which you all reboot your linux servers.
Mine has been up for 178 days, and is running sweet as a nut (touch wood). I was just wondering if it's worth giving it a reboot anytime soon, or if not, how long to give it before rebooting?

I have a website that runs 17 cron jobs...4 every minute...most every 5 minutes...the remaining few every hour or so. Can anyone please refer me to a host that allows this? The best I've found thus far is host for web but they require every five minutes.

I am sorry to see no website. We are redoing alot of things with our company. If you need any support do so by emailing us We can get them. At [url]or [url]We you are a customer and need support you can do so by emailing and one of our techs will get back to you.
If you're a company, don't you think you should notify your customers in a more professional manner than just putting a small message up on your website?
I've tried emailing support to ask them what's going on because honestly I don't feel too comfortable putting my files on this VPS and not knowing if it will exist tomorrow... It's been 24 hours since my email and I haven't received a response yet. 2 weeks ago when I looked into this company I received responses from Sales within minutes and now all of a sudden nothing at all..?
I colocate a server in a nearby datacentre. It's a CentOs+Cpanel server. The problem is my server 2 hard disk is used with no backup. I am thinkin of doing the backup manually myself by walking in the datacentre every weekend with my desktop cpu with new hard drive.
Is there a possible way I can store backup that way?
Is there any possibility to change the Frequency of the Wordpress Update Notification Mails?
It's very annoying for our Customers to get those Mails every day ... Once a week would be more than enough ...

I've often hunted for a dedicated server that needed to have certain criteria, and it's usually overwhelming comparing servers from different companies. For example, if I need 4GB, one may come with 4GB RAM, while another has 2GB standard with the option of getting another 2GB for a small extra fee.
Is there a site that lets you enter your criteria, and it will list servers that meet your needs? For example, you could have it list servers with at least 8GB of RAM, or servers with 500+GB hard drive and 1000GB transfer/month, etc.

We have about 3 resellers on one server and all of a sudden, when I log in to whm and click "Show Reseller Accounts", all accounts show under root.. What's even strager, is that under package colum, it says "undefined"
However, when I click "list accounts", all accounts show and they are properly setup up with the correct package and owner (not all root.. They also show to which reseller they belong).
how to fix the problem when I click "Show Reseller Accounts"?
I'm setting up a VPS for the first time and I was wondering how I should structure things.
I can set up one account for myself with one password, and control all of my accounts (around 20 or so?) with the same credentials. The benefit to this is it easier to manage my credentials, and I can change my password every month or two. With so many accounts I rarely change them.
I can also set them each up as separate accounts like I was used to doing on my shared hosting plan. The benefit to this would be if the one account was compromised the other ones would not be as exposed, and managing everything will be easier.
I guess a third option would be to group most of them under one account, and give the more security critical ones their own account.
I have a reseller account with 20 or so accounts using WHM. I now have my own dedicated server loaded with WHM. I want to move the accounts to the new server, but WHM asks for the reseller server's root pass which of course I don't have.
I guy I knew transfered 1 account a few weeks ago, with the information I gave him. Unfortunately, I can't get back in touch with him.
How do I move these accounts?
I have my WHM access on my dedicated server. I have my reseller WHM access on my reseller server, but not root access on that server.
Is it possible to use different MX records depending on the email address? Let's say for [url] I'd like to use Kayako support. Thus I'd need to pipe it with my own server.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWell I was thinking to buy three reseller accounts but everyone advice me to buy one VPS instead of 3 reseller accounts.
So my questions is:
Why VPS is better than reseller accounts?
way to move vps accounts from a node, without root access, to a new dedi.
have hyper vm and haven't done a move of this type before.(without root)
I have an account with a shared web host and I use that account to host 9 website under 9 different domains. All the domains are hosted as add-on domains under that single shared cpanel account. Now I would like to do a WHM account transfer from the shared hosting to my own VPS server. But I want all my domains to have its own private cpanel accounts.
Is this possible with the WHM automated account transfer feature? or do I have to create cpanel accounts for each domains in my VPS and upload the files manually?
Globaltap.com offers unlimited FTP accounts on their shared plans.
How can it be?
I have 2 dedicated servers. Several of my clients have reseller accounts (so that they can sell their own hosting).
Can this also be done with a VPS? I mean, can I sell reseller accounts the same as I do on dedicated servers?
I'm switching from TP to SL.
I want to transfer all my account to another server,
How can i suspend all my accounts one time.
Note : I have more than 24 Resellers and 240 Accounts, So suspend all reseller accounts won't be good to use.
If there's no way to suspend all accounts at one time.
Is there a way to stop all accounts by a click to transfer them to another server.
Don't say stop apache or mysql.
Stopping apache. It will start again by cPanel.
Stopping MySQL. I will take a backup, so when mysql is down, the backup won't take DBs.
I would like to have a script written that would allow the VPS accounts on a Linux server to have limited access to the files on the main OS. These files are used to convert videos using a proprietary process prior to streaming. The access would be limited so that the VPS accounts could not change the settings or have direct access for example but would allow them to use the tools to compress their videos
View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently leased my first VPS. I have my master site setup, and 4 other personal sites that I'll be migrating to the VPS. (Later, I'll be hosting customer sites on the VPS as I develop them.)
My question is, what would be the best way to add my 4 other personal sites to the VPS, as addons to the main domain, or give them each their own account and cPanel and manage them separately?

I have a web server on my dedicated server with several web sites owned by a friend and myself.

I am having issues with my server and WHM. First of all, i followed the link here but i am a bit confused. When i goto add the Assign IP Address button it pops up and says no free ip addresses, i click on Add an A Entry for this Nameserver and the window pops up warning the domain file doesnt exist, it says it creates one and adds the A record.
A few notes, i did change the alternative main ethernet device to venet0:0, and the hostname to myserver.mydomain.net (as well as the actual hostname, so they match in both areas). On clicking next on the initial setup, i enabled the local nameserver. The setup completed and then the problems began.
Another massive issue i have is that i cannot create accounts, i goto create a new account and enter all the information. i hit create and the status says Account Created Sucessfully. However the account isnt listed in the account list, it is however listed in the dns zones (under edit dns).
Checking a few places:

I am confused about the ns1.mydomain.net and ns2.mydomain.net, surely these should be under one zone file mydomain.net.db? Can anyone please enlighhten me as to why WHM is creating the two zones seperately, or infact is creating as i believe subdomains?
I would like to run custom nameservers, but it says i only have 1 free ip. Do i need to purchase more ip addresses? When i goto 'Show or Delete Current IP Addresses' both my ip addresses are shown 90.90.90.90 and 90.90.90.91, but there is no delete button, it is only a list of the IPs in green.
Are there any fixes i can do, i dont understand why it is broken. How about resetting and performing a reinstall, where is the license file for WHM/cPanel stored, maybe i could move that out of the way, reinstall cPanel then re-register the license. Can i simply reinstall over the top and reset my settings to default?
I have a linux server and permenently I not have access to any control panel. I just need to know:

I want to copy all the accounts from 1 server to another.
Yesteeday I have re-installed my OS and my boss did the configurations.
he had an accident and I really need help.
The accounts are restored but the dnsreport for my domain shodes the below failures.
Open DNS servers :
ERROR: One or more of your nameservers reports that it is an open DNS server. This usually means that anyone in the world can query it for domains it is not authoritative for (it is possible that the DNS server advertises that it does recursive lookups when it does not, but that shouldn't happen). This can cause an excessive load on your DNS server. Also, it is strongly discouraged to have a DNS server be both authoritative for your domain and be recursive (even if it is not open), due to the potential for cache poisoning (with no recursion, there is no cache, and it is impossible to poison it). Also, the bad guys could use your DNS server as part of an attack, by forging their IP address. Problem record(s) are:
Server XXX.XXX.XX.XXX reports that it will do recursive lookups. [test]
Server XXX.XXX.XX.XXX reports that it will do recursive lookups. [test]
================
Missing (stealth) nameservers :
FAIL: You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The following nameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (therefore, they may or may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers return them in the authority section for other requests, per RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these stealth nameservers are working; if they are not responding, you may have serious problems! The DNS Report will not query these servers, so you need to be very careful that they are working properly.
ns1.localdomain.
ns2.localdomain.
This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).
