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 just asked about it a local hosting copany and they show unable to understand what i was asking in the beginning and to give me a proper reply when they finally did.
What i want is to create several mail accounts using my domain names (several mail accounts for each domain name using it)
The usual answer is to use mail forwarding that every registrar offer for free when you register a domain name with them.
So you get a
free mail account
amail@gmail.com
domain name
adomain.com
and you create a forwarding such as
amail@adomain.com to amail@gmail.com
then you give amail@adomain.com so they can write to you using that fake mail, the message will bounce in your registrar and will send it to amail@gmail.com
but what if i want a real amail@adomain.com mail because i want to write replies from that address.
With mail forwarding as long as i know you can receive mail using the fake mail forwarding address but as mail is not a real one you then are forced to reply from the real account behing the forwarding one amail@gmail.com
Can i do that, is that a service included in hosting plans or somewhere. Or am i wrong and its simpler than that.
When I use the /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mailmng script to update the password for a mail account, the account is removed:
Code:
[root@www postfix]# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mail_auth_view
Authentication database contents:
+--------------------------------------+-----+--------------------------------------+
| address |flags| password |
+--------------------------------------+-----+--------------------------------------+
| ...<SNIP>... | | |
| eric@example.com | | ********* |
| ...<SNIP>... | | |

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 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.
more experience Linux users to partition my dedi into VPS. I have an Intel Quadcore 2.4 Ghz, 500GB HDD, 2GB DDR RAM, dedicated server with a max 100mbit connection and 2000GB BW/mo. It has Centos 5.3 (centos-release-5-3.el5.centos.1) installed on the server and I want to install the DirectAdmin CP soon.
I'm not a reseller or webhost and don't intend to become one. This server is for my exclusive use.
I want to use half the server to run virtual instances of a Windows 2008 server and a KDE or similar Linux virtual desktop using FreeNX as well as a 4PSA VoIP Now or similar software. The other half of the drive will be to run my businesses websites, mailserver, a DNS server, etc.
I have six IP addresses for this server that can be used to this end and will host at least three websites (under separate domain names) and one or two blogs for which I will install requisite software.
I understand that the RHEL 5 embedded virtualization software will allow me to partition the server into VPS for various purposes.
Here are the outputs from ckdisk -l and parted -l respectively for the current HDD partitions.

For the DA install, so I don't have to try to figure out where things are, I'd like to use their more complex partition structure as follows:
/boot 40 meg
swap 2 x memory
/tmp 1 Gig. Highly recommended to mount /tmp with noexec,nosuid in /etc/fstab
/ 6-10 Gig
/usr 5-12 gig. Just DA data, source code, frontpage.
/home rest of drive. Roughly 80% for user data. Mount with nosuid in /etc/fstab if possible.
I will install dovecot to be able to create SSL access to my webmail so don't need a '/var' directory.
What I want to know is:
1) Should install virtualization and partition the drive prior to having DA installed?
2) How do I best partition the drive into VPSes so I can run distinctly different virtual instances of different OS and/or programs on the VPS as well as use half for websites, blogs, servers, etc.?
3) What else do I have to keep in mind when doing this?
I'd appreciate any positive, useful response and information on getting this done and I'd like to try to get this done by Monday or Tuesday of next week so DA can be installed on the appropriate partition.
I have two servers, a plesk 11 installation and a plesk 12. Running Centos.
On the plesk 11, set up by others, I have a nameserver running NS1.xxxx.net & ns2.xxxx.net point to the IP of the server.
I want to create a nameserver on the plesk 12 -- can't see how to do this. Is there a nameserver setup function in plesk 12?
More advanced question:
The domain name xxx.net is hosted at 1&1 where I have put the IP of the plesk 11 server in the A records for ns1.xxxx.net and ns2.xxxx.net. I have pointed ns3.xxxx.net and ns4.xxx.net at the IP of the Plesk 12 server -- as I would like to use these addresses for consistency. If necessary, I'll use ns1/ns2.yyyy.net.
Whats the easiest way to create a private server within a dedicated server running cpanel/WHM/Fantastico?
I need to allow this 'virtual server', to host up to 10 domains, and for them to use their own nameservers, not the ones used on my dedicated server.
I have 2 IPs to spare, but I have no idea on how to do this.
Any help is much appreciated, or if you can guide me on where to get info on this.
i need this new reseller NOT to be identified with my own server (IPs)
I 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.
On my VPS SUPHP with PHP 5.2.9 and MySQL 5.0.77 is running absolutely fine.
Suddenly without making any change on the server today i got a 500 internal server error. I don't think there is any permission problem.
Now i change the PHP5 Handler to "cgi" so everything is normal but if i change that to suphp then showing "500 internal server error" anyone can tell the reason of the problem.... Apache suexec is "on" but off also doesn't make any change?
There is any cache/temp file folder for suphp which is filled or some other problem?
how i can create a reseller account on my new dedicated server? i am using c-Panel/WHM for my control panel
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently own a few web hosting company's.
Where i seem to be having trouble is that i have allways used Reseller accounts to run my business. But recently this month i have purchased My own Servers.
I currently Own 9 Servers in total. So when it comes to Actual Server Managment im running into a brick wall lol
One of my business's invlolves Free web hosting.
And and I have been using one server for the free web hosting clients.
The problem is that sigle server is Maxed out I cannot add any more accounts to it withought jeperdising its stability.
This service Not only inlcudes Free domain hosting but sub domain hosting as well.
So now that you know a little background on what im doing heres the question
We use Client Exec as our billing and Auto Account Creation and we know its possible to Add multiple server to Client Exec and we can tell it to creat new accounts on anouther server But what hapends when someone wants a subdomain?
Its my understanding that subdomains can only reside on the server that the actual domain is being hosted. Is this right ? or is there a way to creat subdomains of a .com on anouther server where is not located...
Also i was wondering if it was possible to join servers together in one whm?
So under Ip Adresses we could just specify a new Ip & server would this work ?
I really need help fast since i get an average of 90 sighnups a day. and im sorry if theres a simple solution to this.. Im just new to actually owning my own hardware instead of using someone elses.
to me it just doesnt make any sence and i know it needs to be possible somehow ..
I've added a new Apache/MySQL node to our PPA cluster and we'd like to be able to host a single subscription on that node for the Apache webhosting and MySQL databases for that subscription while allowing that subscription to utilized the rest of the shared resources in the cluster, such as mail, DNS, etc. I'm looking for the best way to go about doing that.
I guess one simple way would be to set the new server to 'ready to provide' and set the rest to not ready, add the "linux shared hosting" hosting subscription to the customer account, then switch the new server to not ready and the rest back to ready. That works fine I suppose in a small cluster, but there has to be a better way. Is there a way to craft a service template that restricts subscribers to a particular node for Apache + MySQL and leaves them to rest of the "regular" nodes in the cluster for other services?
