When you create a SSL certificate for www.mydomain.com vs mydomain.com, is the "www" vs "non-www" decided when you generate the CSR (for example, in cpanel/whm)? Or is it "decided" when you actually purchase the certificate?
View 14 RepliesFirst thing I would like to clear off I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE VPS FOR PROFITS/BUSINESS. I need to make VPS because me and my friend have bought this server

So my enquiry is
1. Can I have Ubuntu desktop and CentOS on it at the same time
2. How easy is it to create VPSes using virtuozzo since I need a GUI and ease of use
3. Also if I want can I change from CentOS to forexample Ubuntu desktop too

My main use of creating different VPS with different OS on them so I can learn there language and other stuff
I want to create from a Dedicated server some vps.

I have done the following guides below but I cant connect my ftp account. And i dont know my directory to public html
I would like to create an account for my staff but im quite novice of this and i dont know the directories name
Create a FTP user group. eg: ftpaccounts
#/usr/sbin/groupadd ftpaccounts
Add a new user to this group, and set the default path of that user to /home/user/.
#/usr/sbin/adduser -g ftpaccounts -d /home/user/ testuser
Set a password for the newley created user.
#passwd testuser
Set ownership of /home/user to the testuser and ftpaccounts.
#chown testuser:ftpaccounts /home/user
Give Read/Write access to testuser and all members in ftpaccounts
#chmod 775 /home/user
Edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file and make sure 'local_enable=YES' is uncommented.
Restart the vsftpd service.
#/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
The server I got from LayeredTech has two hard drives, obviously they set up the first hard drive with Linux etc.
The second hard drive is just there, not showing any partitions in 'fdisk' when I checked, so I assume they just leave it blank in every new server for the owner to deal with however they want.
I've been looking up guides to create a new partition for the full size of the hard drive and then mount it. However, it hasn't been very successful. Everytime I created the partition in fdisk, I have to set a size, and then when I mount it, it only says that the drive is ~98MB big.
Is there a way to partition the drive to its full capacity? And then mount it somewhere on the system? Or anywhere I can go to to find out easily?
I have a old pentium 2 lying around. I was actually wondering if I install a smll linux distro such as DSL linux, is there a way to make it into a fileserver only?
3 comptuers will connect to it.
My main computer and server will use the same internet (ive got a 5MBS line but right now I am just doing an expirment so I dont care if its slow.)
theres a laptop which connects wirelessly using my neighbours (i dont have wireless) so thats a whole different IP and differnt ISP.
and my dads computer which is about 3 KM away.
So I want to do it, store like a couple of word documents
I want to create a forum and have not got any idea in where to start. All I have at the moment is a PhpBB2 template which I would like to use.
The few questions I have are:
1: Do I need to purchase Webspace, if so which are recommended?
2: How would I install the template to the webspace and would the users login information get stored in a seperate database or would that come with the web hosting?
All help would be very much appriciated as i have no idea where to start and how to get it up and running.
I have an AMD Athlon 1.2MHz with 512MB of RAM. I would like to change this computer into a server where to host my websites. However I do not have any experiance on what web hosting includes.
I am definitly going to use tomcat or jetty as application server. Would it be enough this computer? could I just upgrade it? would the people comming on my website experiance a very slow loading?
I have a dedicated business III linux root server (CentOS + Plesk) with 1and1.co.uk and have two domains purchased through them. What I want to do is set up resellers and then the resellers can point their own external domains to their reseller packages. To test the process, this is what I have done...
In the 123-reg.co.uk control panel (where I have my own list of domains), I change the nameservers from ns/ns2.123-reg.co.uk of example.com to ns59/ns60.1and1.co.uk and then proceed to set up web forwarding to my servers IP. Now, after setting up a reseller account through Plesk, I log in and click add the domain example.com. After waiting 24+ hours, when I type in example.com, I get the 'address not found' message through my browser. Clearly something is not set up right.
The only way I can host external domains is to use the domain control panel in the 1and1 screens to transfer an external domain to my root package - not an efficient way of setting up a reseller account.
Does anybody have any guideance on where I am going wrong? Do I need to set up my own nameserver for reseller clients to point their domains to?
I want to set up my server (a linux dedicated server) to automatically create daily backups of the pop3, mysql, & webfiles. I want it to go to a server which i have purchased with the exact same specifications.
I am not very good at unix command line/scripting. So what I need is for someone to help me define the backup strategy, select the scripts, and tell me of how to make sure backup server is secure.
I would like to create custom nameservers for a Server i just purchased. I seem to be getting unclear messages from my Host & Domain registrar on what the process should be.
I have [url] registered. i would like to be able to provide [url]& [url]etc. to clients to use as nameservers.
i have no other servers hosting nor do i have a DNS created somewhere's else? what should be the process in getting these created?
Do i have to have full root access to create a SSL certificate, it seems if not i have to pay my the host $10 to have it setup for me!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some URLs like:
[url]
[url]
Now,I would like to create an alias/sub-domain for this URL. For example:
[url]-> [url]
[url]-> [url]
how this can be done? Do I have to create a subdomain for this? But when I try to create a subdomain throught the OLM control panel, it asks me for the real path i.e. '/var/www/html/subdomain_folder' which I don't have in this case. Secondly, can this be done without modifying any information in the DNS? Changing DNS costs be $5/change from OLM
I've created many vpn connections in the past using private ip addresses allocated automatically but I haven't really found much on making a vpn server that hands out a dedicated ip address.
The problem:
Basically, I have Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise and an extra public IP address that is unblocked from the internet. I have a private server (Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2 i386) sitting here at home that is behind many firewalls (both my isp and my own) that controls my x10 light system, etc.
I have custom written software so that within my home network, I can goto my server's IP address via a web browser and http address and bring up a control panel that controls my lights, etc. Everything works great, but when I'm on my mobile phone, I cannot access this nice control panel because it is on the internet outside of my home network.
I am wondering if there is a way to configure my public web server to act as a VPN server, accept public requests from this IP address and forward them onto my private home server that would have a vpn established 24x7. I haven't found much documentation on doing this, and I'm not entirely sure what to search for.
I have a dedicated server with no control panel. I have a main, root FTP account. But now I'd like to create an FTP account with access to just one folder.
For example, I want the FTP account to only be able to view and upload files only to "mysite.com/special/upload"
It would also be nice if the new FTP user could only modify/delete the files that he uploaded.
I have recently bought a dedicated box and want to run some gameservers on it. I know how to install server at all with hldsupdatetool. But the thing I need to know: what is the perfect command line to get 1000FPS constant server with pingbooster and cpu priority.

I have a file server, and want to build a system that has network-based reload feature. However, I have no idea how to create it. Is there any tutorial to do that? So whenever I need to reload OS for my server, I can do myself, dont need to ask help from the tech in datacenter?
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust curious what the benefits are to:
- creating your own nameservers on your dedicated server
- using your datacenter's nameservers
- using your domain providers nameservers
I'm wondering if using your own nameservers uses server resources, so it might be best using your datacenters nameservers?
When an account is created in WHM, it is given an MX record of :
domain.com. 14400 MX 0 domain.com.
However sometimes people have their own MX records, that can be added easily in WHM.
Is it something that is simple to set up your own mail server, so that you could offer it potential clients?
Is this something that can be done in WHM/cPanel?
I have basic Html and webdesign skills other than that zilch
I am working on my assignment for uni. and wanted to know if I can create multiple sub domains when I am hosted with a webhost.
I want to be able to do the following:users can sign up and get a subdomain of their choice.
users are allocated a limited webspace
The access to file types need to be controlled. In the sense that users can only upload/download certain file types like html, htm, jpg, gif, zip etc.
Users can have forms that work only within their subdomain.
for example the domain name is www.webworld.com
the user signs up for [url] where "mysite" is the subdomain.
the user can have a form at [url]
This form should not affect the other subdomains hosted by users. Just in case someone screws up the entire site should not be down.
Is this possible? if yes, any pointers on how I can go about getting this done?
Would the webhost help with setting this up?
Any good webhost I should consider for such a setup? Any other things I should consider like data transfer / bandwidth Would this be a very expensive affair?costs?
I installed WHMCS on my server and for some reason it is not creating the account in WHM after someone signs up. I tried installing Cp creator as well and for some reason that is not working either. So I now know the issue is is somewhere in the communication between the gateway and WHM. I am guessing WHM is where the problem is located, but then again I do not know. If you have any ideas please tell me because I am in need of whatever I can get. I am losing patience with this because I have been trying to setup this server for over a week.

But now I can't create another account with the same domain.
Is there anyway around this or another way to do this?
I have been using IMAP for the last few years, but I find it difficult to retain my carefully built set of filters across PC and laptop changes.
Is there a way to set filters at the server level so that they work at all times whether I am using Webmail (Horde or SquirrelMail) or a PC or a laptop? Kind of a set once and forget it thing?
I can see the email filtering option in each domain's cPanel, but I am not too sure it's the most robust option.
How do you create a user and group in Centos?

I have a problem here.
I have 2 domain on 1 account, which one is called domainA.com & domainB.com is an add-on.
I created 2 same subdomain name which are assigned to same subfolder!
subdomain.domainA.com (/public_html/subdomain)

The question is: How do i change domainB subdomain folder to something else? (eg. /public_html/domainb/subdomain)
I want to use SSL on my website.
[url]
I don't really get the differences (and it seems all companies offering SSL offer different types of certificates.. don't even know where they overlap)
Can someone recommend where I could get an SSL certificate and why I should choose between a $15/year one and $100+/year?
I am running a site that currently has a Geotrust SSL cert installed (Plesk 7.5.3). That certificate is about to expire and I am going with one from a new vendor. My question is, do I need to generate a new CSR before requesting the new certificate or do I use the CSR from the current one and just upload the new certificate file (overwriting the current one) when I get it?

I am trying to create a subdomain on my dedicated server myself without paying 20 bucks to get it done through the host. I've been able to create the directory through IIS Manager and have it setup to point to a specific IP.
I'm not entirely sure what to do from this point on....When I type in the subdomain on the browser, it says it can't find it, so I'm guessing I have to do something through the DNS but not sure on how to do this.
It's IIS 6 on a Windows 2003 Server.
