I am planning to implement a chat software for our team.
We are currently using AIM. But, we have planned to install any software which works like AIM but it should be controlled by us.
Only, we can add or remove users. Only, we can see the chats done. To be frank, I need a software like AIM installed on a server which should be controlled by me.
can anyone direct me to a host that allows me to run an IRCd with IRC bots and bouncers?
The webspace should be 5 gigs or over and the bandwidth should be 20gigs/m or over. Free management (like offered on web intellects) would be great aswell.
I have a 40-50$/m budget.
can someone recommand an eu vps hoster which allows an irc server to be run on it?

They use vBulletin any ideas as to what would be causing this?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have recently opened up a game, in which is slowly becoming pretty active. However, I want the ability to create an IRC server - locally. We are currently only on shared hosting, because we don't have a lot of bandwidth usage yet - however I believe it would be successfull to start an IRC server now, plus it would be nice to know how to do it.
However, I have two questions/problems: I am not interested in having another computer run the IRC server, because I don't have a stable internet connection except at home in which Im not willing to have to drive from campus to home if something were to happen. Therefore, I'd like to be able to run it off a PC I have ideling inside my dorm. The problem is, my roommate uses it a lot while I use my laptop, and therefore it needs to run off Windows, or somehow give me the ability to run it off a linux while running Windows - or something silly like that.
Therefore, I have two possibilities. Either one, this is completely not possible or two there is some sort of emulator or something like in which I can run IRC on Windows - Or the ability to create an IRC server directly onto windows.
Any ideas? If it is the second possibility, please provide some good tutorials or software into creating a basic IRC server. I don't really care about security unless it is going to affect the connection/box. It's not like we have a bunch of hackers who are going to attemp to exploit it, because when we launch out of BETA we will buy a server, in which we will have IRC installed onto it.
I want a cheap Dedicated server that will allow irc. I will only be using IRC on the server so it doesnt need to be very powerful. Anyone have a suggestion? I want to pay less than $50/month.

So... I just had an interesting chat over at BlueHost.
One of my clients' sites has been really sluggish lately, and I'm trying to patch and streamline what I can until we can get them migrated over to something more stable.
Anyway, I was looking over things in cPanel and saw that the Server Load was way in the red zone (over 24 on an 8 CPU box)! So I jumped into their live chat, thinking that was the best way to help bring it to their attention quickly.
Here's what I got instead:
Travis [10:13:19 AM]: box439's Server Load is skyrocketing -- in just the past three minutes it has gone from 21.24 (8 cpus) up to 34.12! Even now, it's "stabilizing" at 25 (which is WAY too much for an 8 cpu server).
Brent [10:13:46 AM]: actually, it's not. It's a percentage.
[10:13:52 AM]: 25% of the load
Travis [10:14:03 AM]: No, it's not. 25 = 25cpu equivalent.
Brent [10:14:32 AM]: no, really, it is.
Travis [10:15:24 AM]: Brent, anything over 8.5 generates the "red exclamation mark" icon on the server status page
Brent [10:16:13 AM]: yes it doesn, but it doesn't mean there is an overload
Travis [10:17:06 AM]: ((BlueHost's Server Status page)) says, "2009-06-01 09:10:45: Box under heavy load -- you may experience degraded system performance"
Brent [10:17:39 AM]: i didn't say it wasn't under a heavy load. I was trying ot explain more of what that server cpu item means
Travis [10:18:25 AM]: from ((url)): "At this time of writing, red light is shown for the server loads where the numbers are 18.12 (8cpus). This means there are 18.12 processes in queue - which is over 2 times of CPU capacity."
Brent [10:18:49 AM]: that information is not correct, as we have modified the way our servers display the cpu.
[10:23:32 AM]: I apologize, but it seems you've stepped away. Due to other customers awaiting assistance I am going to have to end this chat. If you have additional questions, we are here for you at all times. Thank you for trying our Live Chat! If you have additional questions, many answers can be found through our Knowledgebase. If you have other issues arise please let us know over live chat or give our Ticket Center a try. Remember our World Class Support is just a click away!
So I'm wondering whether he was completely BS-ing me, or if BlueHost really did modify that output. (And if it's the latter, then why would 25% CPU usage bring the server to a slow crawl?)
I'm looking for a dedicated server where IRC is allowed on the network. EU or US. Nothing abusive. Budget is from $80 - $100-$110 and a place where they could announce my /24.

I am looking for a reliable dedicated server provider that allows IRC. I am looking for something under 100 dollars. My budget is 100 dollars, not a cent more. I am not concerned about management levels. Managed or un-managed doesn't matter. I would prefer a U.S. based location.
KEEP READING...
1. Dont ask me what specs I am looking for; the under $100 budget will dictate the specs.
2. Yes, I am aware that there have been two topics about dedicated servers that allow IRC in the recent past. I was unable to find a host from those topics.
3. Yes, I am sure I am looking for a dedicated. Don't post links to shell providers.
4. I am about 99% sure, I will not purchase a dedicated server from your sig. If you don't have something useful to say, please don't say it at all.
5. I'm not looking for someone to tell me that its hard to find a dedicated server that allows IRC under 100 dollars. I am also fully aware that most dedicated providers don't allow IRC. On top of that I understand WHY a lot of providers don't allow IRC. Please don't post if your only going to say why IRC isn't allowed.
6. I have checked the offers sections. No luck. Please don't tell me to check the offers section.
7. I am looking for a dedicated server under 100-dollars. That's the bottom line. Thanks for reading the entire post Wait! Did I tell you thanks for reading the entire post?

What are your recommendations?
I already contacted Gige, but they are not answering.
At this moment server is with Theplanet, but their Cisco guard is not doing good job at all.
Server also used to be @ Softlayer, but they nullroute IP as soon as that specific IP is attacked.
I also looked @ Staminus, see that they offer up to 500mbps protection for $200 a month, which is okay, but i would like to see other options as well.
i have few dedi servers from one Us company, i am currently using their DNS service, we are into small level hosting, i want to run my own DNS, is it necessary to run a separate server for DNS?
Actually how the hosting companies do the name server pointing, for an example if i am buying a server and want to host a few domains in that server, what normally we do is we will change the name server to that companies name server
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
my question is if i am pointing my domains name server to the name server
ns1.companydomain.com
ns2.companydomain.com
how that company points the domain to my server for an example its ip is 72.xx.52.xx i am bit confused in this.
Also i have a doubt how they are creating this for n number of domains?
We are working on our pci certification ( fun times right? ) and i was wondering what other people do for server management in the dmz. Few things we are looking at listed below. We will be doing cisco zbfw for firewalling and using NAT.
#1
Servers have 2 nics, 2 ips, gateway ect. One of the networks would be considered a "management vlan/network". Other network would be for all other traffic, including natting to the internet, and traffic to the "internal" zone but locking down traffic to source,destination, and protocol level.
On windows you really on have 1 true default gateway, and because windows doesnt just send traffic out the interface it came in, but looks at the routing table, some network routing issues popped up.
#2
Use only 1 nic/vlan/ip/gateway. Lock down traffic to source,destination, and protocol level for dmz to "internal" traffic and do an "inspect" statement to allow all necessary traffic back in and drop everything else. "Internal" to dmz would just be an inspect all because this traffic wouldnt need to be firewalled so management traffic would work just fine.
I am looking for somewhere in the US or Canada that can host a VPS with the following requirements:

Public IRC Capable (not linking with EFNet, etc.)
I've been searching for something that can meet my needs but I've been at a loss. BuyAVPS became a big issue, and I pulled out quickly before the most recent downtime, SolarVPS before that with their lovely billing problems and collection threats.

I need a very simple server management and hardening job and dont want to pay much. (not for a hosting company)
I'm not talking about weak sauce companies that treat your server like any other server and apply settings base a file they got saved on their desktop.
platinum server management- been there done that total server solutions - been there done that people who send me PM's - been there done that
Maybe I'm underestimating the importance of server management, but I can't see how it is worth it to pay $300 per month for a server that can be built for $700 with the co-location costing about $100 per month.
So, I'm thinking that I can build a server or just buy a server that was considered excellent 2 years ago off of Ebay for about $700 or maybe less. From there, I simply need to find a $100 per month co-location hosting place and a freelance server dude to keep the thing updated for me and work out problems if they actually come up.
So with that said, where is a good place to find a freelance server manager?
Does anyone know of any good reliable companies that can manage our servers remotely? It could even just be 1 server admin, however looking for a company with a good rep.
Searched on Google but wasn't able to find what I was looking for. Maybe searching the wrong keywords.
I know about Platinum - I was wondering if anyone had any specific recommendations for server management services.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI initially posted a topic to get help with a problem because I want to fix it myself without wasting the time of the server management company. They however picked up the post and said I should opened a ticket with them.
The problem is however still not resolved to my satifaction after a few days because we differ on some points so can you please air your view on this matter?
-----------------
[url]or [url]
Problem 1) Certificate error that hostname and certificate name don't match.
Problem 2) At some places in WHM or cPanel there is a secure and non secure warning items.
The problem 2 is perhaps to bug in WHM V11 so it is not so important.
However, the server mangement staff insist that problem 1 is because the login is via IP (or other domain name) and not via hostname but I don't agree with them because.
a) During the years I always logged into whm or cpanel via ip or domain names and never got such error.
b) cPanel redirect any whm or cpanel access to the ssl ports under HOSTNAME so it MUST match the certificate even if you use 75.127.69.82:2087
I don't get any error if log in with [url]so it is clear that the redirection to ssl ports under HOSTNAME like above don't work correctly.
That the redirection works can be seen by using [url]because the same error comes up (for mercury.domain.com) despite the site have his own certificate.
What we have here is.
Hostname = mercury.domain.com
Certificate Name = mercury.domain.com
[url] (Works Fine because certificate name is mercury.domain.com)
[url] (Name of site don't match mercury.domain.com despite redirection to hostname IN WHM)
[url](Works fine, Host name = othersite.com and match certificate name)
[url](Name of site don't match mercury.domain.com despite redirection to hostname IN WHM)
What I suspect is that cpanel redirect but NOT to the actual hostname (mercury.domain.com) or otherwise present/display the hostname incorrectly so that it don't match the certificate.
WHM 11 setting: Redirect to ssl ports = enabled
Two further settings, redirect to hostname = enabled
(None of the settings have any effect anyway and I tested hostname, certificate name and origin domain name redirect with the same results)
One of my sites has outgrown its current cheap hosting so I'm looking to upgrade. I'll probably just snag a low end, leased server from EV1 unless someone has any better ideas.
I've attempted to use a unmanaged EV1 server in the past without any setup and it was a disaster. So this time I want to pay a guy/girl to set it up properly.
My needs are not that great. I just need a server that can handle a vBulletin forum, and your typical database driven article site. At the moment, I'm only getting about 2,000 uniques per day, but the site has been growing at a constant rate.
I'm writing a new script that I think will double the sites bandwidth usage by early summer so I think I may be able to justify the expense of going from a $60 per year server to $100 per month server.
Does anyone here have any experience outsourcing server management? I've setup and run my own Linux server and configured my own database and PHP and Apache but I just don't have the time to keep everything running, backed-up and updated.
I'd love to have someone who I could just send jobs to, such as upgrading to PHP 5.2.2 or figuring out why Postgres doesn't start up correctly or why the logs aren't getting rotated automatically anymore or making sure the backups are happening or recovering from a hard disk failure, etc. I'm sure I could figure all this out (maybe on the second or third tries too), but I just don't have the time or the expertise these days.
any software, I do not care if it is free or paid, that will allow me to track and list all servers, what kernel versions are on them and track all changes made to each server.
I just need some sort of software that will allow me to better manage all our servers.
After doing the proper research, I decided to lease a dedicated server from WiredTree. Let me start by saying that in the short time that I've been a customer of WiredTree.. I have absolutely loved their service! After one month, I will do a full review of their service.. because they have been absolutely amazing!
The only issue that I've had up until now is not their fault at all. When we first signed up to their service, they were aware that we were getting a dedicated server with them because of their proactive support with DDOS attacks. Sure enough.. first day up.. we were getting DDOSed.
WiredTree responded very quickly, and worked for endless hours to help us out. The issue was resolved, and the site ran great for about another week..
Then, DDOS attacks started up again and the site became very slow. Not only was Apache running slowly, but FTP/Shell would load very slowly. I asked them to assist me with the DDOS, and they did.
Now I'm just not sure of what the issue may be, because the site still loads slowly or times out for many of my members. The site loads fine for me (now), but was lagging/timing out up to this morning. - Once again, I'll note that up to now, WiredTree have been as helpful as they can possibly can.. though for them, the site has loaded in under 3 seconds the entire time. They've asked me to submit affected IPs.. and I've submitted one that I know is affected. I'm waiting to see if the IP was blocked.. though its only loading slow for them. It is not blocking them, so I'm pretty sure that they weren't hit by the firewall.
My question is.. does anyone think that PlatinumServerManagement could more for us as far as finding/resolving an issue here? Perhaps a fresh pair of eyes could help considerably..
My concern would be having two people managing the server. Obviously PSM won't do anything unless I create a ticket, requesting their help.. but would having PSM work alongside them possibly become intrusive for WiredTree?
I'm just looking for some advice on the next step. If it'd help at all.. I could post the URL so I could see if other people experience the issue.
