Consuming Heavy Bandwith Upto 2000 US$+ Per Month
Jun 14, 2008
We are facing a very problematic situation since last several months due to accessive bandwith usage. But we are sure this is only local traffic.
We have 2 Servers with our hosting provider
Server A - this is a VPS
all our webfiles/domains/dns/nameservers reside on this server
Server B - this is a dedicated server
contains only databases
(we are actively running vbulletin based forums on this servers)
Since last several months we are facing huge bandwith increase since we have transferred only our databases to Server B. (earlier database + everything was on Server A) We never ever consumed even 50% of the entire allocated bandwith in past when we were on Server A.
But only after moving the database from Server A to Server B we have found this tremendous increase,
Can we do something about same ? as both the servers belong to same hosting provider.
We are not sure but expect that this is only local network traffic between 2 servers.

I'm currently hosting all of my stuff with my own Wild West Reselling Account, i.e., InnoDomains.com.
Problem is I'm running multiple Wordpress Installations and a few websites that have some pretty intense MySQL work going on in the background, and I use about 250GB per month in bandwidth.
My Account gets the 503 downtime errors because according to Customer Service I cannot run more than 50 MySQL queries in one second. Well, that's not much of a challenge because a lengthy wordpress page runs about 90 queries and loads in 2-3 seconds. Time this by three including the other websites and a couple of shopping stores, and I'm easily doing more than 100-150 queries a second more than several times a day, thereby seeing that nasty, irritating error.
My other option is to split up all the websites over basic $ 3.95 per month accounts. I don't want to switch to a dedicated server yet because I'm not really making a whole lot of money (about $ 30 per month). Another thing I could do is move my MySQL testing to a local machine, and that may actually reduce the load on the damn server.
Are there any hosts out there that will allow me to do more than 100 MySQL queries per second? If so, are there any that are any good?

My client's site's allocated 10GB/month bandwidth got over run to 12GB so far for this month. Our monthly bandwidth doesnt hit even 2GB.
Fortunately, my host, medialayer, hasnt pulled down the site for overusage of bandwidth.
Looking at awstats,
114.80.100.206 consumed 4.57 GB on May 14th and
114.80.100.207 consumed 5.18 GB on May 15th.
I was told to block the IPs using .htaccess, but this can go on daily from different IPs and I cant simply sit and monitor and block IPs everyday.
Is there some solution to this ? Auto-block when an IP consumes 500MB in day or something similar?

Is there a registry key that can distinguish between Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 server?
In
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProductName
That key is Windows 2000 for both Win 2k and Win 2k server so if there's anything else that would be GREAT.

I have 4 VMs running on a VMWare ESXi 4.0 server and it was running fine until yesterday when suddenly the network started consuming up to 100 mbps and making everything slow.
I have checked through vSphere and I dont see any VM consuming that much, it only show that the host is using that much.
I am attaching the picture from vSphere.

I have some websites running on my LINUX server now.
Not all of them are running stable commercial scripts or cgi.
In fact, our server had some records down before by some package scripts.
I only know TOP to know the current server status.
But I can not know which PID is making CPU usage high, or which website.
I think if I can check the exact site or cgi causing heavy loading. Perhaps it helps us to make our server up.
Is there a way or LINUX command to find out which PID is causing heavy loading?

For past one week, my wordpress based blog is just dead, becasue of heavy trackback/pingback spamming(500 a minute). I've tried various plugins, but to no avail.
In addition to stop spammers before generating PHP load, I've tried all possible HTACCESS rules, but to no avail. I truly sure, I've done something wrong.
May I request the experts here to advice on how to stop this ongoing spamming?

My website (Large Discussion Forums Site) is under a heavy DDoS attack since 3 weeks. My first host could not handle such an attack so I moved to another who claimed to have a firewall that can handle the attack, but still, the site is down.
Anyone has a good suggestion to get the site up and handle the attack? Any particular hosts that can help me?
(The Forum has its own server and does not use Apache).

I have a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise (32 bits) running IIS 6.0, with ASP.Net 1.1.4322. Basically it's an application and image server, that has a large amount of concurrent accesses.
Around 800 users simultaneous access simulteneously and ASP.NET app, that will request some date from an MS-SQL Server database and point the browser to image file (all at once), every few seconds (it's a live webcast applications). The server is quite robust, with 500 GB in a RAID-5, 4 GB RAM, Dual Opteron Processor.
When the users access it, the machine memory and CPU usage a low. Also it has plenty of bandwidth, since it's directly tied to a Gigabit port on the datacenter. I kept an eye on all paramenters and there is no imporant bottleneck on the hardware side.
Here is my problem: after some "images" are sent, with 800 users, the users start getting a 503 error, and can no longer access the images.
On IIS HTTPErr Logs, I found these errors to be "Timer_ConnectionIdle". I believe it has something to do with the way the Application Pool is handling all those concurrent connections. No references to it are made on Windows Logs.
I've already tried tweaking all those paramenters on the Application Pool, but no results. For example, I tried increasing the Request Queue Limit value, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
Also, I inserted "MaxUserPort=65534" on TCP configurations on regedit. Rebooted. Also, tried turning off keep-alive and decreasing connection timeout, then a restart of the w3svc (see [url]for the explanation about this). Tried changing each parameter individually and tested. No big difference after each modification.
Has anyone ever seen this? Is there a way to get this solved? Again, this address [url] has a description of what seems to be my problem... but I didn't manage to get this solved.

I'm currently considering to enter the VPS market
I have recently acquired a nice box (2x Dual Core Opteron 275 2.2 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 16x500 GB SATA @ RAID5/6) but I'm unsure if it isn't smarter to buy smaller machines (like X2 5600+, 4 GB RAM, 2x400 GB HDD) and put like 15-20 customers on it.
Yes, I know that the hard drives are more than oversized for VPS hosting
The Opteron server will have a very, very nice I/O performance so that customers are going to have a good feeling while working on it. To refinance the costs it would of course be neccessary to put not less than 125 VPS on one box, so I can imagine that there'll be a bottle neck somewhere (CPU power I'd guess?).
What is your opinion? Big boxes with high performance and loads of customers, or small boxes with not-so-many VPS?

One of my Cpanel servers is showing heavy data transfer this month. In 6 days, it crossed 600 GB data transfer which is equal to what it did last month. Also, all the websites collectively have only consumed around 60 GB data transfer in 6 days. How do I find out what exactly is causing heavy data transfer?

Are there any hosting companies that use an Enterprise strength SPAM solution such as IronPort?
We have 3-4 business websites and spam, especially within the last 6 months, has become a tremendous problem. At least 100 spam emails a day are being delivered.
Spam filters do not solve the problem - they simply put some percentage of spam in a folder, often genuine emails, and we still have to go through it manually.
Do not mind paying a premium for the hosting. Any hosts that offer HEAVY DUTY spam protection?

I have 2 identical Fedora8 boxes with Apache 2.2.8, MySQL 5.0.45 and PhP 5.2.4. I use one as the Web+DB server (say box A), and the other (box B) just as the Web server connecting to the DB server on box A. I use this 2 machine configuration to test a LAMP based-Web application. I have a client program on other machines that can emulate a massive web workload to these 2 servers; it can emulate hundreds to thousands of users using the application simultaneously.
Before running the test, the connection to the DB server from both boxes seem fine. Using the mysql client program on either box A or B trying to connect to the DB, the connection goes through instantly. In the /etc/my.cnf file, I have max_connections=4096 and max_user_connections=4096. Note that the web app uses one single db user to connect to the db. To allow remote connection, I inserted one record into the user table of the mysql db whose the host field's value is '%' (allow connection from all remote hosts).
After running the test (which I found out that many requests sent to box B failed), mysql client program on box A is still able to connect to the db instantly; but the one on box B has a problem: it takes extremely long (5 - 10 minutes or even more) to establish the connection, it doesn't time out, just takes that long. I believe that's the cause for the failure of requests to box B.

I am not sure if this is a dumb question or not but here it is anyway,
if there is a website and some of the images are hosted on a third party site (ie. photobucket), does the bandwith for those loaded from the third party site count as the sites hosting bandwith?
In my opinion I do not believe it does because it is making a call to the image on the other hosting server, but a friend of mine who manages a forum said that once the users started using more animated signatures that the site bandwith went up by almost 40%, but all signatures are hosted on other sites.

dedicated host provider [url] and trying to determine the options from them in regards to bandwith. If I decide to go with them I will be using them to host a youtube clone site
has any body had experience with them?
Here is their deal
Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU
1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Ram
250 GB SATA300 Drive
Unmetered Bandwidth
I'm planning to ugrade the ram to 4gb at 300.00 one time extra.
They claim Free 24 hr On-Site Support so I called them up last night at 3:30am their time and did get a technition on the line.
They also refer to themselves as being "fully managed" and describe in detail what that means in their faq.
Their BW is unmetered and unshared
10mbps = 3,285 gigs/mo
or
4mbps 1,314 gigs/month burstable to 100 mbps
going over this limit the charge is 49.00 for each 328.5 gigs
So because I'm a start up and have no idea what will be required in terms of BW. here is the question
If I had a limit on uploads of 200 mb and the average size of the videos being downloaded were 20 mb how many people could be online at the same time?
I'm not even sure if that's the right way to look at it.

I'm leasing a single dedicated server and it's over 2 TB of traffic this month. It should be almost 3 TB by the end of this month.
The site is very well optimized (mostly static pages, cache, lighttpd, etc) and I'm guessing it could survive 6-10 TB/month traffic with one server.
Traffic is growing for the third month in a row. Not much, but it's noticeable.
It's the first time I'm over standard 2 TB traffic limit. I'm hosting at Leaseweb and I asked them how much does it cost to upgrade my bandwidth, but haven't heard from them since last Friday.
Where do I get a server with a decent amount of bandwidth and wouldn't have to sell my soul to afford it? The problem is, my budget is quite low (hence all the optimizations on the site - to save money on hardware).
Most of my traffic is from US, so I may have to consider American host.

A customer of ours is looking to use ColdFusion and MS SQL 2000.
Our VPS provider does not provide for ColdFusion or MS SQL so we referred them to another host. This host is unable to properly configure for their needs, and we are standing by the client to assist until everything is working properly.
Can anyone recommend a good host who provides cold fusion / ms sql plans using VPS?
Is this too much to ask and should they be looking at a dedicated server?

Our windows 2000 NT server will not allow users to login to the FTP unless they are classified as administrators. I have the domain set up with all of the correct permissions (to my knowledge).
1. Access to FTP folders
2. Access to Read under FTP
If there is some permission not set, please let me know.
The users are added to the Domain controller under Active Directory. I saw a post about the same exact problem on another forum, but there was no answer.

I am basically a Mac user and my windows desktop just went kaput. I am looking for a cheap and dirty way to make back-ups of my MS SQL 2000 DB.
Is it possible to run a script that creates a copy of it in MS Access which can later be convereted back into MS SQL?
Is it possible to go from MS SQL to MySQL?
The MS SQL 2000 server is hosted on a shared server and I cannot leave DTS packages on it. I prefer not to go the DTS route as it goes way over my head anyway. I do, by the way, have a dedicated Win 2003 server.

My site is on forumotion right now. I want to move it and have it hosted somewhere. It is a local Mustang club. I have read all the problems with the oversold sites. I have also looked at others. The big issue is i dont rally know how much space I need. This is the site southshorestangs.com. What it will have is that forum and probably a few webpages. It is still only a month old so it will keep growing hopefully. i just dont want to get way more than I will need.

i see that there is 84/month and a 119/month VPS, which offer burstable 100mbps unmetered...i also heard they use shared line.
so what is the max bandwith that i can really push in a month ? i am okay with users loading the site @ 100kb/s, especially because the site has lot of videos through flash player, and 100kb/s or even 50kb/s sounds good.
if there are anyone that can beat FDC than please refer me to them!
