I did the complete installation of cPanel on Windows Server 2008 Server using Hyper-V
I installed it on CentOS 5.4 64bit
Just need to know are their any issues when using Hyper-V as Visualization tool with Linux and cPanel?
I allocated 1 GB memory for it. Noraml usages 40% memory and 0.1 server load.
Anyone aware of some good Hyper-V hosting? I must say I'm really sick and tired of Virtuozzo. Its a pain in my butt! I'd even take some VMWare or Xen hosting - just none of this fake virtualization stuff...there are way too many limits (e.g. I want to update my own core!).
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am currently in the search of a new windows 2008 vps with hyper-v, I noticed that most hosts offer "Guaranteed RAM" which is great, but I found another host which will ask you to pay an additional monthly fee to guarantee this ram, even on Hyper-v, I am curious to know if not getting this will affect performance of my VPS.
We are looking for a 1GB RAM server since we only host around 6 websites with very small traffic, and only one of those has database connectivity, but still gets very low traffic. We will need to host DNS, IIS, Mail server to start, so, is 1 GB of ram ok for this and should we guarantee it?
I want to provide some windows vps, but not sure if hyper-v is best solution. I have several questions,
Q1. Is it possible to limit traffic or bandwidth for hyper-v windows vps? And is there any web GUI that can be provided to the users to manage their VPS, e.g. check the traffic had been used.
Q2. About windows license, I heard that If I run a Windows DataCenter version in the main node, then I do not need license for the vps. Does it mean when I install the windows 2003 as a guest, it will no longer require us to input the CD-KEY?
ive just installed Hyper VM using the download from the hypervm site, but a quick question i have is, is there a way of getting more than 5 VPS's on the server, i can't seem to find it anywhere.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAccording to the documentation, Hyper-V VMs cannot boot from SCSI drives and requires an IDE drive for each virtualization. I'm new to Windows (Server 2008) and Hyper-V and planning out some hardware.
Does anyone know if it is possible to:
Set up the the server with 2 SATA Drives (Raid 1), along with 8 x Ultra320 SCSI Drives (Raid 5 or 6).
Load the OS and set up all Virtual slices on the SATA drives, so that that virtual boot sectors are on the IDE drives, but the main bulk of the clients allotted space on the SCSIs? Is there issue with that and if so, how do you manage that?
Does anyone know if it is possible to monitor bandwidth for individual virtual environments within Hyper-V? I'm looking for an economical way of doing this, not through System Center. we're looking to provision a few Windows virtual environments over the next few weeks and want to see if there is an alternative to Parallels Virtuozzo.
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust curious if there are any decent control panels to manage Hyper-V VPS containers besides DotNetPanel...
I've been trying to find a viable alternative, but I am striking out on my search.
I just cannot seem to understand why DotNetPanel is so expensive, $70/month for the enterprise edition, plus $50/month for 10 VPS containers.
With Virtuozzo, there is the panel to restart the vps and view bandwidth and server resources etc.
For Hyper-V what is there for me, a customer of the service. ie hosts are telling me they dont have a control panel - so how could I restart the hyper-v should the OS crash?
Is possible move VM windows working in Virtuozzo for VM in Hyper-V (Microsoft Windows 2008 Datacenter)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd really like to find a Hyper-V VPS provider (or a Xen/ESX provider) and I've been stunned thus far to see each provider charging more for Hyper-V than Virtuozzo (e.g.
VPSland and Crystal Tech.). Why does this surprise me? Well, Hyper-V is included with the OS, whereas Virtuozzo is an extra cost. You might say, "But yeah, Virtuozzo gets around having to have a separate license for each OS install since its actually just one OS." Actually, that's not true, Microsoft clarified their licensing position and said that each instance does need a license. I'm guessing most hosting providers know this...So why the price hike?
We have a few single CPU (54xx quad core)systems running Hyper-V and looking at the Hyper-V Logical Processer Total value in Perfmon its staying pretty much from 85% to 100% all day long. Perfomance is mostly ok with an occasional hesitation, but the biggest reason is we are trying to avoid doubling the cost of SPLA license by not adding the second CPU. Most motherboards we have only hold 16 gig to 24 gig memory and by adding a second CPU both will probably be less then 40% or 50%
Any problems keeping a 54xx or any CPU for that matter running flat out as long as its cooled OK?

Hyper-V will compete with other Virtulization technology. yet to check its license agreement.
I have downloaded the Plesk-Ubuntu 14.04 from here : [URL] ....
Both 32&64 bits are not bootable in Hyper-v.
Is there any special settings for Hyper-V to use those ISO files ?
Does it come with Hyper-V?
Pros?
Cons?

Without any fanfare, at the beginning of September, Parallels released Virtuozzo Containers (formerly Virtuozzo) 4.5.
Version 4, launched in January, unified for the first time the Windows and Linux branches, introducing major new features like virtual SMP masking and support for Microsoft and Red Hat cluster services.
Version 4.5, which is built on this new architecture, brings in a wire range of new capabilities:
Enhanced resource management (CPU pools, vCPUs remapping on logical CPUs, offline vHD fragmentation)
Containers cloning
Containers startup order
Support for Windows Server 2008 (32/64bit, with or without Hyper-V, up to Service Pack 1) and its new Failover Clustering
Support for Hyper-V (it’s not exactly clear if this just means that the Hyper-V parent partition can be segmented in containers, or something else)
Support for TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) NICs inside the containers
Support for new 3rd party backup and anti-virus solutions (including the ones provided by AVG, CA, EMC, IBM, McAfee, Symantec and F-Secure)
Support for iSCSI inside the containers (a container can be an Initiator)
Support for IPv6 addresses inside the containers
It’s not entirely clear why Parallels didn’t promote in any way what is still considered its flagship product.
It is true that the large majority of the attention is focused on hardware virtualization, but the company OS virtualization platform should still have a competitive advantage over VMware, Citrix and Microsoft hypervisors in the hosting industry, which is well worth some more marketing effort.
We are wondering why Parallels haven't been shouting from the rooftops. This is a game changer.
I currently have a server (Xeon 1x5310, 4gb RAM, 4x500gb hdd in Raid 10) with Windows 2003. Now do to a project I'm looking at installing Windows 2008 and upgrading to 2x5310 and 16gb of RAM on my server.
I'm looking to create a virtualized test environment for development of a new web service I'm working on. What I'm looking to develop right now is 2 file servers, 3 web servers, 3 MS SQL database servers and 1 DNS server (would prefer but not sure if hardware can handle it. Virtualization would be ideal as this is very similar to what we believe will we have when we launch the service.
I have a few questions I'm hoping you might be able to answer:
1) With the upgraded hardware specs, should it be able to handle the load if I assign each virtual entity 1 core with 2gb of RAM each?
2) I would like to create each of the multiple servers in a cluster (ie cluster of webservers) as this is how it will be in production. But, I've never worked with clusters before so:
a) where can I learn about clustering windows 2008 servers?
b) is this possible to do in a virtualized environment?
3) How does MS work the licensing? I want to have each server running Windows 2008 and 2-3 of them running SQL Server 2005.
a) Do they charge extra for each virtualized server?
b) Does this mean I have to purchase 3 complete copies of SQL Server or is there a way I can pay a low license fee for use in a non-commercial, non-production environment?
4) Does anyone see any problems with this setup or have any suggestions for me?
* I do have money available to spend on a good solution, so if you have suggestions that cost please let me know. I just thought virtualization would be the way to go as the project will be in development for at least a year with no public access.
** I realize that Hyper-V hasn't been released yet (that I know of) so information on it might be limited
I'm trying to find hosting that offers ASP, PHP, SQL and some kind of control panel (plesk or cPanel) and that accepts Paypal (credit card is okay but Paypal would make it 50% easier.)
Anything around $15/20 would do.
I have started a website for guitar players that has achieved immense growth. In just 2.5 months I was getting more than 6'000 daily unique visiors and 25'000 daily pageviews. I was running this website on HostMonster and a week ago I started getting "CPU Exceeded Errors" several times a day, because the hosting wasn't capable of handling the load. In fact, I was getting so many errors that the website has been unavailable for 10% of time or something like that. GoogleBot obviously got tired of that and my number of visitors just collapsed.
So, I really need a decent hosting that could support at least 30'000 daily uniques or 3'000'000 monthly pageviews. What would you recommend, a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a dedicated server?
I would love to be able to host multiple domains and to use cPanel and phpMyAdmin. Basically, I am looking for something similar to HostMonster service, but way more powerful. Could I get that for $50 - $100 per month?
Currently our site resides on a dedicated server that I manage. We are only using a fraction of the resources on the server and I have no interest in trying to sell accounts or resources, just too much headache. We made the move from HostGator to a dedicated server some time ago when it became apparent HostGator was overselling. Our server was seeing reboots way too often, ads and their company branded error pages (although I could have changed this part), and sluggish performance.
What I'm interested in is a hosting company that offers backup solutions and can make your backups available quickly in the event of a failure. Other companies I have dealt with offered this but their response time of 1-3 days is just unacceptable. I will also stay away from any overselling, built in ads of any kind, and companies without 24/7 phone support.
I would like to stay with cPanel so our user's email accounts will not be interrupted or changed when the site is transfered. Of course if there is a full import option to another control panel this isn't an issue.
So my question is this: Does this company/service exist, or are we stuck paying for a dedicated server that we don't need? I'm more than willing to pay, just looking to see if there is an option less expensive that my dedicated server.
If Theres Any Offshore V.P.S Hosting With Cpanel.
Looking For About
30-40 Gb Disk Space
100-150 Gb Bandwidth
Other Specs Not Really Fussed
I use cPanel for managing my hosting.
There are about 18,000 emails in my default email account (username@mydomain.com). These emails are using more than 50% of my hosting space.
Therefore, I want to delete all of them. One way is to delete them through webmail but it will take alot of time.
Can anyone suggest a way to delete all of them in one go?
I am having a *real* headache finding a reliable UK host that offers a Virtuozzo VPS with CPanel. There seem to be plenty that offer Virtuozzo with Plesk (probably because they are made by the same company and it gets bundled) but I really need CPanel for the ease of migrating sites from our test environments to a live platform.
I would look to Europe or even the US but most of my sites are ecommerce and I need to ensure they get good google listings in the UK index. My understanding is (and *please* correct me if I am wrong) that Googles local indexes prioritise local TLDs (ie: .co.uk) and local IP ranges (UK assigned IP ranges) which would be fine but I'm hosting a mixture of .com .net and .co.uk sites so I'm forced to use a UK host.
I am budgeting around £25 ($50) per month for a 256mb ram / 10 Gb VPS. Looking at the offshore prices makes me weep with jealousy, I have a VPS with Slhost in the US and it's been fantastic, great price, great support, professional company. The UK seems to be full of glossy template based host sites, you can hear the spurs and six shooters rattling behind the covers.
There seems to be a big gap in the market for a reasonably priced reliable VPS host with cpanel in the UK. There doesn't seem to be a credible middle ground between £10 a month shared reseller accounts and £80 a month dedicated services.
like know the difference mainly between cpanel and directadmin;
So is important that the host have all the plans :
one with cpanel and one with directadmin (if have plesk and others is also better but not fundamental )
Is important also to have server in europe ;
For your experience are both stable the panels and which are the principal difference?
I have a VPS that runs cPanel/WHM and have been receiving a few enquiries where clients want to move only their email hosting to me. Most of them have small, static, web sites and seem happy with that.
Is this possible? If yes, I would appreciate some pointers on how to go about setting it up.
I have seen some shared hosting providers include cPanel. As far as I understand cPanel is to manage and install apps on VPS. Why would you need that on shared hosting?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have been hosting several of my clients (for whom I have created a web site) on a cPanel VPS. The VPS is Xen-based, has 1GB of RAM, 2 CPU cores, 80GB of disk space and 800GB of bandwidth. Everything is running smoothly and I'm quite satisfied. It has a VPS-optimised version of cPanel and the speed is just as good as a dedicated (sometimes even better). I even have a second, small, VPS as a secondary nameserver.
Now it comes to this. I am planning to sell shared (and in the future possible reseller) hosting. Is it wise to stick with a VPS or to get a dedicated? The investment it takes differs a lot, since a VPS can be a lot cheaper than a dedicated server (depening on what you need and your provider of course).
I bought domain name and web hosting from a company. Now the problem is that the company from which I booked domain and hosting doesn't exist.
Initially the hosting company sent me only FTP and mail server details. Now I need the cPanel details to configure database. So kindly request all of you to suggest me some solutions through which I can get the cPanel details.
My server will be having an OS reload. I'd like to know where to find all Hosting packages made by the root and by the reseller users. How do I restore that to the newly installed OS?
how about other needed files to consider aside from the account backup?
I want to configure ad-supported web hosting same as Godaddy is giving free web hosting with every domain.I want to automatically set a permanent banner ad on customers every web page when a new account is created.

I am running two cPanel servers with WHM installed. I want to host one of my websites on one server and have the other server manage email. Is this possible? If so, I have a number of questions...
1) How do I set it up? Are there any tutorials for this?
2) Will the changes affect anything that is already configured in outlook or other mail programs?
