BuyAVPS Making A Turnaround

Jul 4, 2007

I did have a chance to really talk with the owner, Navid on the issues I did have and on what was really going on. One of the things I did have trouble was downtime, and I was assured no more of this, and latest news on what was going on.

Some of the new things they're doing
- New support staff, and more
- New servers from DC (Databank?) (which i'll be moved too ;])
- Less or No downtime at all; and total care support
- More support options

and the results are being seen, they immediately solved all my issues hopefully I won't run into them, but dear members who read this, as a owner; I've decided to go sole proprietorship and work sales, support, billing; all from my blackberry and cell phone around the clock, and downtime is the last thing I can have. Currently I have over 125 accounts and being one of the top free hosts, and clients new to the web = lots of questions. So uptime and reliability from a powerful host is needed. I thank BuyAVPS for making the turnarounds and though they've been only for 1 year, they're one of the rare hosts with the right price and great deals.

I must say, they're support team is fabulous and has been helping me out constantly, from installing scripts to great support and now they're offering more support options.

I've been with them for now 3-4 months, or maybe more I've signed up when they started; and they're coming a long way now and soon to be one of the best vps hosts.

Turnaround For Filter Updates (new Allocation)

After obtaining a new allocation from ARIN, how long do you typically wait before your upstreams update their filters to allow the new announcement? Which providers are most proactive? Least?

Buyavps

May 18, 2007

Are they still around? They are not responding to e-mails, not answering tickets, and you have to keep your fingers crossed not to have a serious issue.

I have cancelled my account because of no existent support and constant dowtime and i know many people left in the dark with a non working cpanel and suspended accounts.

Somebody had a answer from them during the last 10 days?

Buyavps 3.0

Aug 17, 2007

I guess the new Buyavps should be called 3.0 now that it's under AxisHost. I was hoping to be able to report a good experience. Paid my bill(it's cheap so I figured what do I have to lose???) in the last several days I have decided to rebuild the vps and put some non-essential sites to be hosted on it.

Impossible. Before, I had no problems running anything, the only problem was the downtime. Now, no downtime problem, just resource problems. I've tried several different images but all of them have severe resource problems. I know 128mb isn't much, but it should be enough to run apache and mysql without locking up. I know because I do it on other VPS's and was doing it there before Buyavps shut down.

Well, it's a cheap lesson. Stay away from hypervm. I guess that's where the problem lies. I am not going to hassle anymore with it, the time I have spent in vain is worth a lot more than a single month. I haven't bothered even submitting a ticket, and I won't. It isn't worth any more hassles for me.

E-mail to support@ is bounced.

BuyAVPS Migration

Aug 10, 2007

Its been a for a couple of hours that my VPS is down, I'm not complaining or anything, I really know that Navid left one hell of a mess for them to sort out but I just want to be sure that my VPS is down because of the migration process and not because of something I did.

Anyways I submitted 2 tickets, still no reply. The guys must be busy fixing and moving all these accounts

Buyavps.com Shady Business Practices

Jun 2, 2008

Last September, I subscribed to a VPS from buyavps.com to test how WHM and some of our accounts behave if we upgrade from PHP 4 to PHP 5. This was concluded towards early November, but I left the VPS subscription active, thinking later on we might have other cases where I would rather test a server-wide software upgrade in a VPS first.

A couple of months later, in January of this year, I indeed had such a case where I wanted to test something again. After a couple of unsuccessful tries, I opened a support ticket about accessing my VPS, thinking maybe I wrote down a wrong password or whatever.

Imagine my surprise when support told me my VPS account does not exist and asked me whether I have been actually paying for one, then asked me for a transaction ID. This although I had an active subscription at that time, paying monthly for the service.

Actually the subscription just billed again right while support sat on the ticket, writing me this response. After that shock, I went and cancelled the subscription, but I already lost another month's payment. I demanded the money back for a period I was charged for at a time when there was clearly no service any more, plus the period before at the end of which there clearly was no service any more either. Support said they'll forward my ticket to billing, and that was the last I heard.

Still having faith in the company, since it was to my knowledge Tina's company (she was the reason I went with buyavps.com in the first place), I decided to wait for a few weeks for the refund.

After that came months where I forgot about this issue, recently noticing only the e-mails again. Still having faith in Tina, I sent her a PM here on WHT so that she could look into this issue. To which she answered that she sold her part in buyavps.com to another company months ago.

At that point, I sent off another support ticket to buyavps.com, where several people asked the same questions all over again, just to say in the end I am not entitled to any kind of refund. At which I got pissed and told them they stole my money and do I really have to come to a public place to tell the story?

Well here I am - knowing the industry I am not very surprised at how they took my money and provided no service for it. For this, they deserve to be named here and serve as a warning for potential new customers of buyavps.com.

However, I am extremely disappointed in how you can't trust even prominent people of this industry with good reputation any more. I signed up to this service because I trusted the person who ran the company, all payments went to her Paypal account, and at the time this whole fiasco happened she was still (part-)owner of the company. Shrugging it all off is not what I expected.

p.s. I have a number of e-mails for proof and further details if desired, just wanted to keep the size of this post within limits.

Making Web Server

May 13, 2007

I was wondering I've been having problems with getting my web server going.

I'm using Apache 2 on my Windows XP SP2 machine. I have a Linksys WRT54GX2 router, and I have Charter 3MB Cable internet. I already called charter to see if they allowed web servers and they said they do. I also asked if they block ports, and they said they don't.

Now my problem... So, I originally thought maybe charter blocked port 80, so I used NO-IP to work around that, I did port forwarding through that. Well, I used there tool canyouseeme.org and it said it couldnt read any ports i put in.

All my firewalls were off and i had my router firewall off. I even put my computer in the DMZ part of my router. I'm about to see if i can connect my modem directly to my computer without having a problem but i wasn't able to a bit ago. Anyone got any clues to waht i could do if nothing changes when i put my modem to my computer.

Making SSHD Up In Knoppix

Jun 1, 2009

I am trying to customize the knoppix CD so that the SSH server can be started while the system has been booted up. I've tried to install the service and setup the appropriate run level (update-rc.d) but still the SSH daemon couldn't be started up automatically. I had to start it up manually while the system is booted up. I have an idea is to put the startup command in the /etc/rc.local, but not sure if that would work, but I prefer to start it up from the run-level. And what about the /etc/inittab, any idea on that?

WordPress Making A VPS Slow

Aug 28, 2008

Hello. I owned a VPS not long ago, and hosted my WordPress enabled site on there. I used approximately 9 plugin's, all of which are very low-usage and mainly used for the backend. I noticed during every day use the VPS slowed down, is this due to the WordPress script or the VPS itself?

The VPS had 1024mb RAM (1531mb burst), and equal share CPU.

I don't own the VPS now, but would appreciate some answers as I may buy a new one soon to host the same type of site.

I would like a Router that allows me to connect 2 uplink connection so if we need to upgrade we can add a 2nd fios line.

Assessing & Making Decisions

Aug 12, 2007

I am executive director of a non-profit organization. As part of our mission, we publish a monthly peer-reviewed academic journal. We receive from 70-100 submissions per month, each which must be reviewed by experts. I am interested in moving the entire peer-review process onto a secure website and need some advice. Here are our needs.

1. Run 10-20 independent peer-review sessions simultaneously.

2. Assign between 3-7 reviewers to individual discussion "rooms" for participation in the peer-review process. The editor must be able to monitor and manage the discussion process.

3. Upload a PDF version of a submitted article into a specific "room" for review.

4. Assign a unique user name that will allow each reviewer to remain anonymous during the review process.

5. Reviewers discuss the merit of the article in a blog format.

6. Close the review session down after one week (no more access). When the room is reopened for another article and new group of reviewers, it would have to be done so with new security settings (i.e. people participating in previous reviewers could no log on and access the same or other rooms at a later date).

7. Compile/summarize the discussion thread and send it to the author.

I was thinking that what we need is basically to set up individual blogs with security settings. However, there may be other better ways to go. I don't know. The most important thing is that the "discussion rooms" would be short-lived, would have a limited number of participants (3-7 plus editor), and a limited number of posts. Submitted articles are between 150-500KB and would be taken down off the site once the review session is closed.

I am having trouble determining what our needs will be for this project in terms of storage space, bandwidth, security requirements, etc. Although we want an attractive site, this will not be for public access. The most important design factors therefore are ease of use, functionality, and reliability.

Making VPS On Colocated Server

Jul 8, 2007

I'm getting myself a colocated server in August.

Its quite a 'powerful' one (Q6600, 2GB, 2x160GB). It will be running Windows Server 2003 Standard edition.

I would also like to make a test 2003 installation on the server itself and most likely a Linux Ubuntu) installation too.

Now VPS looks good, but I have some questions about it.

- Can I run 2003 (virtual in VPS) with the same SPLA license?

- Is it possible to give the power of one core of the CPU (since I got four) to a VPS? (so it doesn't stress other cores)

- For example, I host an application on port 5000 (random chosen ) on the non-VPS system, is it possible to host the same application in the VPS system on the same port with an other IP address assigned to it?

- Whats the best (free if possible, shouldn't have many options (just an on/off switch )) way to make a VPS in Windows?

- Is it a problem with servers of these days to push the 'maximum' (or like 80%) out of the network connection (a gigabits or 100MBits)? Are the server response response times (pings) acceptable for gaming when its under such a load?

[Interworx] My VPS Crashes After Making A Backup

Dec 8, 2008

I have a VPS with Linux and 128 MB RAM and the Control Panel is an Interworx one. Backups are made with SiteWorx (a panel within NodeWorx, and only visible one for Shared Host customers).

- The VPS is working properly the whole day;

- The content of my VPS (besides the necessary software) is a PHPBB 3.0.0 forum that is heavily visited. Its subject is World of Warcraft, a popular MMORPG;

- Making a backup is successful, and I am reported by the system that way by an e-mail which also reaches me;

- Shortly after that my VPS crashes and stays offline, until I can restart it or my webhost notices that it is offline. NodeWorx and SSH are inaccesible. As soon as I can access the SSH I can restart MySQL server and everything is working properly again.

I suspect that 128 MB RAM is too little for my VPS backups.

Making A High Density Rack

Oct 28, 2008

if I co-located in a 44U cabinet and I loaded it with 44 X 1U Rackmount servers so that the entire cabinet was full. Would all my servers fail/crash from touching one another due to over heating? Or would you say typically in a cooled datacenter with a hot and cold row setup this would not beca problem. The datacenter will let me add more amps per cabinet but their cabinets are only 44U. Has anyone attempted to do this? I hear rackable systems can do it but I plan on using 1u supermicro servers.

Apache :: Making All Necessary Changes To Conf Files

May 28, 2014

I recently upgraded my Apache 2.2.22 installation on Win 8.1 to 2.4.9, making all necessary changes (I believe) to the conf files. I am puzzled that two files in the format authdigest_shm.xxxx now appear in my logs directory when the server is restarted. (Edit: there is also no httpd.pid file)I assume this is to do with running digest authentication, but is a new phenomenon since the upgrade.what conf file setting(s) have I screwed up?!

Apache :: Server IP Making GET Requests

Apr 12, 2014

I've spent the last several months working on a huge upgrade of a couple dozen websites. The upgrades include modifying Apache so that visitors who arrive at links pointing to mysite/World/New_York are redirected to mysite/world/new-york. In other words, all my links now default to lower case, and underscores are replaced with dashes.

Unfortunately, publishing it has been an endless series of disasters. My websites are now all crashed, and the server is unbelievably slow. It takes pages forever to load (if they load at all), and I can scarcely publish files online.So the following notice sent to me by my webhost got my attention.

IT appears your own server IP is making GET requests to Apache, causing excessive loading and causing service failures. On today's date, your IP made almost 6,000 connections to Apache:<br><br>

[root@host ~]# grep 64.91.229.106 /usr/local/apache/domlogs/mysite.org | wc -l 5924 [root@host ~]#<br><br>

These were all the same request:<br><br>

64.91.229.106 - - [12/Apr/2014:08:10:10 -0400] "GET /404.php HTTP/1.0" 200 14294 "-" "-"<br><br>
And that made up the total of requests:<br><br>
[root@host ~]# grep 64.91.229.106 /usr/local/apache/domlogs/mysite.org | grep "GET /404.php HTTP/1.0" | wc -l 5924 [root@host ~]#<br><br>

Making SELinux And Apache Play Nicely

I know you can do "chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t -R $HOME/public_html", but it seems like it would be a pain when adding users, especially if someone decides to delete their public_html and make a new directory.

Is it possible to create an exception to let httpd do whatever it wants?

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Making A Differential Backup?

Is there perhaps a way one can make differential backups?
