Build A Datacentre Blog
Jun 13, 2007
If you've ever wanted to know how to build your own DC, the nice chaps at Pipe Networks in Australia have been blogging about their experiences building their own.
Quote:
The facilities staff at Pipe Networks is live-blogging its bid to build a new data center in just 60 days. The effort began back on April 16 with an empty room in Brisbane, Australia, and is entering the stretch run with a completion deadline of 9 am EST Friday (June 15). Pipe Networks has put the entire effort online, providing a window into the data center fit-out process with daily updates via Pipe Networks' DC3 blog, a live webcam of the data center in progress and a checklist of key items and their stage of completion.

We have having 4 dedicated servers (WHM/cPanel/Red Hat) with THEPLANET.COM, out of 3 are managed by HostGator - which are running perfectly all right.
However Dual Xeon 2.4 with 2x80 GB SATA server, we have purchased directly from THEPLANET and have given to PlatinumServerManagement Team for managing. Uptime is no issue and past six months we had hardly any issue. However there is one particular problem we are not able to find or detect or resolve. Sites hosted on this server is sometimes not available in more than 30% network. We get frequent complain from client that their site visitors could not access website when they were on XYZ network. I understand this problem could be due to ISP's DNS server problem. We used to get similar complain on other servers too - but numbers were very very less. However we have just placed 80 accounts on this perticular server compare to 600-800 on other server. But volume of complain is very high.
When I asked PSM and THEPLANET to look in to issue - they asked for TRACERT and NSLOOKUP results, which i provided. TRACERT comes no error and sometimes NSLOOKUP fails. However I think this is not an option to figure out promlem - as for all client we cannot gether TRACERT or other results.
Now this problem is pain in neck - as it is adding unnecessary adding overheads of server and we are not ready to take risk adding more accounts. Finally we came to conclusion that if we cannot resolve this very soon we might have to discard entire server.

Well we've decided it's about time we got around to throwing out the old black-and-white analogue CCTV system (which is based on VHS by the way, and has minimal building coverage). The idea is now to setup a new network-based system, which will record all cameras onto a server with a fair few terabytes worth of storage space.
If anyone has any ideas on the points below, please feel free to post I'm really interested if anyone on WHT has setup an ethernet CCTV network before.
Cameras
Well the main question here is: wired or wireless? For some reason, wifi cameras seem to be cheaper than wired ethernet cameras. We will be purchasing around 30 cameras in total (although the final number could be higher).
If wired, we would setup the camera's on their own LAN (possible gigabit core, and the CCTV server would then bridge to the main network).
If wireless, we could set them up on their own SSID, but it would be running alongside an important wifi network that cannot be disrupted. Would the 54mbps offered by 802.11g be sufficient for 30 (or more) cameras?
Iv'e got a feeling that i'm going overkill on the network and it wouldn't need anywhere near as much bandwidth, but we are looking for at least 10fps from each camera, anyone got any ideas?
Software
We came across an opensource CCTV management system: [url]- it has been setup on a Ubuntu machine for testing but without a CCTV camera you can only test so far . We had a D-Link DCS-900 (Rev B) but that isn't compatible with ZoneMinder (or anything else for that matter). Has any one used this software? Would you recommend a different solution (free or paid)?
Also, would be interesting to hear from anyone who has setup their own CCTV network.

One of my wordpress blogs got hacked and my site is redirecting to a different site.... When I check the phpmyadmin, there is another sql server that I am not familiar with... and there are around 17 table... I cannot delete the tables... I already contacted my host and still waiting for response...
The installed database is "information_schema (17)"
Are you familiar with this?

I recently had issues with HostGator and left them and now I am with MediaTemple... They are absolute crap. My site goes down with "sql errors" every day and it is pathetic.
What is the most cost effective host with the best speed and uptime for my blog?

I am an asp.net developer and want to host my blog. Which hosting provider will be ideal for asp.net blog? I have also seen that some of hosting providers provide blog hosting for blogengin.net or dasblog, should I go for them or should I go for the blog engine that I have built my self?

Simple web site:
www.oldWithoutMoney.com
Implemented WordPress a little while ago via cPanel's Fantastico widget -- vanilla implementation.
Just about every day, I get spam comments in the blog's Inbox for moderation.
Was wondering if folks had general tips on how to prevent or minimize this sort of nuisance and make the blog less bot-accessible, and/or where I might read up on ways to do so.

I'm thinking about puttin up my first blog/site on news since I check news through the whole day anyways so it would be easy for me to manage as my first site. I was wondering how much bandwidth i need? I have a Hostgator "Baby" account [url]and was wondering if this is enough? Eventually I wanna add more sites and I'm worried about the space/bandwidth .. is it hard moving site from 1 server to another? From what I've seen there is a folder for the websites in the ftp but I know that hostgator does the wordpress installing so I'm not sure if I just copy the folder and move it to a bigger server will it save the site/plugins/etc.. the way it was as if it was on hostgator.. hope that makes sense also, usually how long is it to move a site from one server to another?

to migrate a friends Blog from a pre-hosted service to his own domain and hosting. A domain is no problem for me to get but hosting seems to have changed a bit since I last purchased it all myself. Looks like all the old hosting companies I used to use have disappeared, and many are offering monster deals that I really don't need for a Blog.
What I'm looking for is something cheap and simple. It's a British Blog but I would prefer American hosting just due to the cheaper conversion rates. I have no real preferences, just enough to host a Blog and a few images. What I would like is a host that is easy to upgrade should the Blog grow and need more for it.

I'm currently on a 256mb RAM VPS plan with CPanel included at GoDaddy and hosting a wordpress blog which gets around 3000 uniques a day. My blog won't even last a day before the server crashes.
Now I've turned almost all plugins and turned off mail services and optimised MYSQL and HTTPD according to some articles on this forum, so I'll see how it turns out tomorrow. But I've still got a lot of functionality I want to add to the site.
It seems to be that this basic VPS plan is inadequate for my demands. Would anyone agree with this? (I got one opinion from another forum, saying it's definitely inadequate)

I'm going to be setting up and hosting a high-profile wordpress blog. It'll probably get around 800.000 pagehits per month. The client has been asking about Peak Capacity, Throughput and whatnot and I'm honestly am not sure what to tell him.
So far I've been maintaining a 1and1 windows 2003 dedicated server with about 20 websites, but none which comes close to that amount of traffic.
My plan is to go for a Linux box with the following specs:
CPU: Opteron 1218 HE
CPU Details: 2 x 2.6 GHz
RAM:4 GB RAM
Hard Disks: 2 x 400 GB (RAID 1 Software)
Bandwidth: 100Mbps

Currently I am hosted with Aquarius Storage, who are a fantastic company and I will be posting a review of them soon, but however that is not my point. Due to the recent tragedy of the HyperVM creator committing suicide, I will have to pay more because AQ is switching to Virtuozzo. Because I simply run a somewhat large, growing blog, paying 36$ per month is kind of outrageous.
To make things short, I need a good host, that was superb uptime, and is optimized for a WordPress blog that gets around ~5k uniques, ~30k pagehits, ~100k spider hits per month. (all figures are growing, of course), and for the site to be optimized to be speedy fast.

Well it occured to me just now that I think this might be a challenge: do you know any absolutely unbiased web hosting blog?
Without a doubt WHT is a truly unbiased discussion forum for the web hosting industry. However when it comes to blog and the luring big affiliate bucks more and more hosting companies are offering, I doubt there would be ANY truly unbiased 3rd party blogs / info sites on hosting industry.

I am hosting a Wordpress blog that currently uses 30GB of bandwidth per month. I want to introduce a forum as well so will probably need 50GB per month for now. But would like it expandable to 100GB in the future.
My requirements are:
No hidden CPU Limitations/No unreasonable resource usage restrictions.
Equipped to handle large surges of traffic.
No Overselling, able to use full allocation.
AND PROBABLY:
LiteSpeed - Does it really make a difference?
I have looked at MediaLayer, but they only provide upto 50GB transfer.
SecureServerTech looks good but uptime is only around 99%
At the moment Steadfast Networks looks the best.
My budget will be $20 for 50GB tranfer and $40 for 100GB of transfer, but this is not fixed and I would prefer quality over price.
Control panel does not mater but uptime does.

a Shared hosting should be enough for my wordpress blog site? It gets about 300 to 1000 hits per day.
Right now it's currently hosted on my loaded dedicated server and it's running very slow. Do you guys think I should order a shared hosting just for this blog alone?

I installed Wordpress on a local install of Apache so that I can play around with it and get my design down before I put it on the web. I can get to the admin and do everything, but I can't actually get to the site. I had an index.html in my htdocs directory, which was deleted, but now when I go to localhost, it just shows the directory.

I'm getting this 406 error in my blog. I read about this and learned that this error is related to Apache mod called "mod_security".
I tried to turn it off for my site using .htaccess file by
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
But it didn't work. So how to get this sort this out ?
Asking Hosting provider to turn it off is out of question .Already asked but they don't want ( can't blame them )

first time building a website, and was thinking about setting up a blog type website similar to the likes of engadget etc....
However I'm curious as to how I can source images and how copyright relates to a blog news site. Obviously with the quick nature I would be posting like other news sites I doubt there would be time to email the owner of a site and ask for permission and await a response.
So maybe theres a loop hole in regards to blog news sites for permission?

I have a couple of blogs with domain names I already purchased through GoDaddy.com and I currently update them through Wordpress. I am looking to upgrade my blog accounts for CSS and I need a host that I can use to install Wordpress. I've heard great things about Host Gator and I just want to make sure it will work for me and see if anyone has suggestions about which plan I should use.
