billing system to control the traffic between router and servers. I thing I need a billing system installed on server with webgui like those used by ISPs but I need it working with paypal and other payment gateways.
The other solution is to use radius server but I will need it working with payment gateways. Can you recommend me a good radiuns server with many options?
a good method to have processes controlled in the resources they use, in a shared cpanel environment?
For example, it appears that the cpanel backup (compressed) made the load skyrocket to beyond 60% cpu and 95% memory usage today, and this server is beefy to begin with.
I want some system to kill processes immediately if they exceed X amount of resources or kill processes that spiral out of control (X amount of processes from same user).
I'd like to be alerted of this action as well.
How can I set this up?
If I have a customer renting two servers from me, and I collect bandwidth data at the switch port, and he does large transfers between the two boxes that travels through my switch, how do I avoid charging him for that bandwidth? Make him install his own switch? That's the only way I can think to do it. I can limit other people from flooding others on the switch with vlans, but within a vlan, it really isn't fair to bill for traffic that flows between ports, is it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm up Games for Windows VPS servers with VMWare Server ESXi and wonders whether some option to control the traffic of each IP, I thought about using a "Cisco ASA 5500" but I do not know if it has this option:
Example:
IP 192.168.254.1 = 100GB monthly.
IP 192.168.254.2 = 50GB monthly.
Etc. ..
When I deny all other traffic for the "System policy for incoming traffic" to secure the server by only allowing the explicit ports I've requested to open, my server stops operating correctly.
It appears when I set the "System policy for incoming traffic" to deny, it appears to be disrupting various functions such as web traffic over ports 80/443, FTP, SSH, they either work extremely slow or don't work at all.
I brought this up with my Plesk license provider and they stated that the Plesk firewall doesn't add any tracking for ephemeral ports, therefore if you set the policy to drop for incoming/outgoing, it's not going to allow proper TCP communication since the return socket can't be opened. Also that the firewall is an explicit deny system rather than explicit allow based system.
Am I doing something wrong? All I want to do is to block all ports other than the ones I've set to allow. Is this how it is supposed to work?
I've been thinking of getting a budget server/co-location and only host my companies site on the server along with billing software. There will only be 1/2 domains on the server. Software Linux/Apache/Mysql/PHP Control Panel or Not?

Is it possible that someone on the same network as my server (shared hosted, freebds) could somehow cause my traffic to be diverted to a new url after visitors landed on my website?
I assume this person has access to my home PC also and is reading what I type here etc. Has the ability to allow domains and IP's and divert others on my server, IS in the position to know who to allow and deny (my affiliates, customers etc IP's are recorded etc)
IF this was possible, how would I be able to catch this person out?
Where would I look for evidence of this and what am I looking for?
I don't manage my DNS and asking my server host (my suspect hosts with them too) gets a reply like: I don't understand what your asking? Do you need webaliser stats?
How would someone be able to do what I'm guessing is happening: That people can land on my site.. however, this guy can than redirect them to his own paying page. If I set a link here to my site..he'd soon add its domain to "allowed" etc etc.
I'm thinking I need access to server access to my dns, login info and Last Modified details on those file. I don't have these. I don't know what I'd be looking at if I had them.. and my server tech hasn't offered to look at such things.
My interest is more than intellectual.
Until last weekend my 2 1/;2 year project that has grown in sales volume beyond my expectations. I had had no contact with this person for 8 months and in that time sales where consistent. I Had changed all accesses, IP etc etc. I used to host with him. Then moved hosts since I didn't trust him (same problem back then - sales fell to nothing but traffic grew) moved to my current host.. not long after find HE is now on that host too.. now after I have contact from him again, sales have gone flat without any explanation, even though traffic has increased! 1:300 has become 1:10000 and I have checked everything site side (I'm a webmaster for over 10 years)
I'll be ruined very shortly and I don't know what to do.
secure a windows server 2003 traffic.
I have one server with a small number of clients <10. The clients have dynamic IPs.
The server hosts a number of public facing websites, email, FTP and remote desktop.
What I want to do is make port 80 respond to all web requests but lock all other services down so that they only respond to my 10 clients. I was thinking some certificate or VPN solution but I've ruled VPN out as I don't have a firewall or VPN so would I be able to do this with IPSEC?
Is there quick utility that would do this or can you point me to a good example article?

I was wondering if it is possible to block traffic to and from a server with iptables.
Like for example a user transferring files with his ftp client to another server x.x.x.x (FXP)....
been trying with these rules here:
iptables -IINPUT -s x.x.x.x -j DROP
iptables -I OUTPUT -s x.x.x.x -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -s x.x.x.x -j DROP
But still the user can transfer to the server destination...

what the max number of hits is a quard core server with RAID disk system can handle, it is running on a Linux with separated MySQL server?
The host says there are no restrictions on the bandwith, but somehow it is strange we always only have MAX 300 users online (24/7/365) now I wonder if it just is that way or if some users might be denied access from time to time when they try to enter some of the websites hosted on the server ?
Maybe you know a monitoring service or something that can tell if this is an issue.
i have question which i'v serched for answer for it more than 3 days , may be more.. but i still can't catch it.
now if i have aWin EST server , and i have t remote desktop . i can creat accounts right?
well , if i need to manage the traffic for evry account, and give account whatever 500 GB trffic , another account with 500 GB , another with 300 GB , etc etc..
how can i know they have reched thier limite and they stop useig more from the server?

Is this a reasonable price for a dedicated server? Would you recommend a different configuration of hardware that might make it cheaper? I would also like some examples of other sites on similar configurations if you have any, so that I can show my client what they use.
The server gets around 25k unique visitors per day, but one website in particular allows hotlinking and uses a lot of bandwidth. Last time I checked...according to whm apache status page, I was getting 180 requests per second. Not sure what time it was though. So it might be higher at a different time of the day.
Recently got mod_evasive installed, but I didn't want it to block out legitimate users. Currently it's set to this...

DOSSiteCount 100
DOSPageInterval 2
DOSSiteInterval 2
DOSBlockingPeriod 10
DOSBlockingPeriod 600

what a better configuration would be? When I run the log I already see it block out a bunch of IP's. I don't want to lose any visitors to this program, but I do get ddos a lot.

I'm working on launching this online store for a poster designer, and we're becoming more and more aware that we need a really robust and fast server. This site is looking at extremely high levels of activity whenever this designer posts a new poster. We're talking 1700 people surfing the store (downloading med-high resolution poster images) and 300 posters sold in 16 seconds kind of thing.
So, we need a really robust hosting, to work with PHP5 and MYSQL.
My previous go-to hosting provider was Lunarpages, but their customer service has gone down the crapper, and I've just about had it with them. My main questions are:
Should I be looking into getting a dedicated server, or are there hosting companies that can handle this kind of traffic on a shared server? I don't have experience administrating a server, so if we got a dedicated one we would have to pay the host to do at least some of the setup/administration, I would assume?
Dedicated server or not, what's a hosting company that has really good customer service, where we can be assured of getting somebody knowledgeable without having to wait on hold for 20 (or even 10) minutes?
I have a (dedicated) server out of control. It is managed by a 3rd party company who has never been able to get the spam and server load under control. Loads average over 5! and there is no activity in top other than sendmail and mailscanner (with Ensim).
I turned off mailscanner and sendmail while I typed this and server load went to .08.
I'm going to switch (dedicated) servers to a new provider (for reasons above plus a few others) which will include managed service from the server provider as well.
There are only a few programs that need to run on this server. VBulletin is the main concern.
I want to lock down all mail access. I want vbulletin to be able to send outgoing email as part of its administration and as part of its member notifications.
I don't want ANYONE OUTSIDE THE SERVER to be able to send mail through this server.
One idea I have had is to use DNS to assign all MX records of every domain on the machine to the free gmail service.
I have one domain on this machine (and important domain) that gets thousands and thousands of spam. I assigned its' MX records to NO-IP.com who filters and forwards email to me. That has worked - but server load never budged.
I am using VPS for my general hosting, but have considered putting together a machine for an email server to host some email accounts that I currently don't have on my VPS accounts and would want tighter security than VPS offers (hosting company/support having access to VPS).
While I have gotten more comfortable with linux during the last 5 months I have been hosting on a VPS, I still prefer a control panel type interface. I am using WHM/Cpanel currently. I know that I cannot get a Cpanel license for the type of server I want to put together, so is there either a linux server distribution with a good gui interface, including email setup and admin, or is there a control panel other than cpanel that is either free or inexpensive to use on a dedicated email server.
I will house this email server on my 6mb/768k DSL line at home, or at work on a 4xT1 (6MBs).
does anyone have any suggestions on selecting a control panel? ive seen some products around $300 that appear to be just enough for what i need.
how long is the typical setup time for a control panel?
I am in the process of getting my new colo setup going. My initial colo is on a per server basis so I don't need a switch right away. I am however going to add a switch so I can have my servers connected privately to a backup server in the same rack. On this backup server, what is the best type of "system/control panel" to use to setup the backup accounts for each of my servers? I could just create accounts manually via the Linux command line, but curious if there is a good way to do this (Webmin maybe?). Of course this server will not be accessible from the internet, it will be on the "private" network and accessible from the other servers.
How are those with a similar setup doing this?
when I was in vps except cpanel and whm I had another control panel for vps , Don't remember what was that I could turn my server off and on for dedicated server except for cpanel and whm what else do I need?
