Custom Server Builds
Jun 14, 2007
I got a good response last time with suggestions on where to go for co-location, and I've made a choice where I'll be co-locating within the next month or two. So now is the time to look into buying a server. Does anyone know of any good places to custom build 1U Servers online to get a quote and buy one?
I've looked at a few different places and tried searching on here, maybe the words I used in the search weren't right as all I found was dedicated server prices or resellers.

I'm considering building the following 1U rack server for colocation. I'm completely new to rack servers and colocation so I would be very grateful to hear your opinions:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU
ASUS P5B-VM SE Motherboard
8GB PC5300 667MHz Non-ECC RAM
500GB HDD
345W Power Supply
I also have a few specific questions:Are there any differences between the Q6600 and it's Xeon equivalent? (especially power wise?)
Are there any disadvantages using a desktop motherboard in a (1U) server? (again, especially power wise?)
I've read that non-ECC memory is a lot more acceptable for servers now than it was a few years ago, is this true?
Does a 500GB drive use much more power than a 160GB drive?
How many watts of power can I expect the server to use?
Does a 1U chassis usually come with uATX mounting points?

i have a server with whm/cpanel and would love to have custom error pages that work server wide not just for a specific domain. I have tried adding the "ErrorDocument 404 errors/404.htm" to the httpd.conf file but it doesn't work.
I have no trouble getting custom errors to work for a specific domain but can't seem to get it to work server wide.
Has anyone else tried to tackle this and actually had success?

I would like to know how to allow customers to use their own php.ini file. I have had hosts in the past that allowed you to use a custom php.ini file so long as you put it in every directory that you would need to use it.
I was just trying to figure out how this is done as I am new to all of this and trying to learn.

I have a reseller account on a server, and I have a client who needs to used a custom php.ini file to set the session.save_path variable. He has created this file and placed in the public_html folder, but this path still comes up as 'No Value' and the Configuration File Path still reads '/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini '.
What do I need to do to get this site to read from the correct php.ini file? I tried setting this in the .htaccess file, to no avail.

We just got a dedicated server, my first time messing with anything dedicated though I've had WHM before. I have 4 domains I'd like to setup to point to this. But I'd prefer our company URL to host the name servers. Domains are registered through enom who will allow me to setup the name servers.
I'm trying to use the "Nameserver IPs" section in WHM to setup the name servers but it just sits and "works" but never actually finishes. Does my company URL need to be pointing to the server before doing this?

I'm just starting doing web pages as a side business. What I'm wondering is if I should pay for the monthly fees for the web hosting and just charge the customer for design and maintance?
or
Should I get the customer to buy their own web hosting and the site gets uploaded to that site and they pay for the hosting?
As you can see I'm really new to this. I'm thinking of getting the "power" plan from [url]so I can upload and create multiple websites for different customers?
What do you people typically do for small business maybe only 2-5 customers?

(x.com = replacement for my actual domain)
I am currently in the process of transferring my sites to a new host (Liquidweb). On my old server I used my host's nameservers, whereas Liquidweb STRONGLY recommends (two or three times in the "account info" email) that I create custom ones on their server.
So for one of my domains, I created an account in WHM, created ns1 and ns2 nameservers in WHM, created the nameservers for the domain (in Tucows/Opensrs) and changed the domain to use it's own nameservers. (ie x.com uses ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com) That all seems be working fine now; ie, typing x.com in my browser resolves to the new server.
This would lead me to believe that the new nameservers are ready to use and that I should be able to start using them for other domains too. But when I try to change the nameservers for any of my other domains in Opensrs I get this message:
"Unable to update nameservers: Nameserver ns1.x.com doesn't exists in the registry"
I would normally assume that the new nameservers just haven't propagated yet. (It's been 24-36 hours since I originally created them in Opensrs.) However, x.com is currently resolving correctly, and it's using ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com ... so why wouldn't I be able to change other domains to also use ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com?
Here's a WHOIS I just ran on completewhois.com for ns1.x.com:[NAMESERVER whois information for NS1.X.COM ] [rs.internic.net] Whois Server Version 1.3 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to[url] for detailed information. Server Name: NS1.X.COM IP Address: 72.52.###.### Registrar: TUCOWS INC. Whois Server: whois.tucows.com Referral URL: [url] >>> Last update of whois database: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 20:01:24 UTC <<< [whois.biz] Not found: NAMESERVER NS1.X.COM >>>> Whois database was last updated on: Sat Sep 15 00:33:44 GMT 2007 <<<<I don't mind waiting if the nameservers just have to propagate (is that why it says "not found" there?), but if that's the case why is my x.com site already resolving correctly using the new nameservers?! Is it just because its using its own nameservers? (If that makes any sense ...)
I have WHM/CPanel installed, that's what I used to add the nameservers and so on.

I'm trying to configure my newly acquired VPS and am having a hell of a time with it.
I will be hosting several sites on this server, so I've ordered an extra IP so that I can run my own custom nameservers (and Lee doesn't have to bother with adding my domains to his system)
At my registrar, I've created two new nameservers (ns1.thatscriptguy.com and ns2.thatscriptguy.com) and pointed them to my server. I've added the additional IP to the system as eth0:0 and configured the domain. Here is a copy of my /var/named/thatscriptguy.com.hosts
Code:
$ttl 30M
thatscriptguy.com. IN SOA ns1.thatscriptguy.com. kevin.thatscriptguy.com. (
1172728392
10800
3600
604800
30M )
thatscriptguy.com. IN NS ns1.thatscriptguy.com.
thatscriptguy.com. IN A 66.90.121.92
thatscriptguy.com. IN NS ns2.thatscriptguy.com.
ns1.thatscriptguy.com. IN A 66.90.121.92
ns2.thatscriptguy.com. IN A 66.90.121.253
www.thatscriptguy.com. IN CNAME thatscriptguy.com.
mail.thatscriptguy.com. IN A 66.90.121.92
mail.thatscriptguy.com. IN MX 1 thatscriptguy.com.

That allows:

I recently signed up for hosting with ASO on a shared hosting plan with intentions to operate an SMF forum. Prior to going live, I would like to prepare for a possible upgrade to a VPS in the near future if the forum exceeds allowed resources on the shared platform, specifically the MySQL connections which appears to be set at 40. I am currently utilizing the ASO nameservers and was wondering the following:
If I setup custom nameservers at Namecheap and request likewise from ASO, when it comes time to switching to a VPS, can I perform the following and anticipate downtime only during steps 2 & 3?
1) Configure the VPS (including DNS)
2) Switch forum to maintenance mode and transfer data to VPS
3) Change the customer nameserver IP addresses at Namecheap
Basically, I want to verify that I won't experience the 24 to 48 hrs of downtime associated with changing nameservers. Additionally, are there any known disadvantages of having custom nameservers on a shared hosting plan?

I have a Plesk VPS hosting 2 domains. I would (ideally) like to have both domains have dedicated IPs in addition to custom nameservers (custom to both names... ns1/ns2.domain1 and ns1/ns2.domain2). How many IPs in total would I need for this configuration? 4? How many if only one is dedicated? Or neither is dedicated?

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?

I would like set backup for my vps in a specific way but it seem is not possible..
I would like set weekly backup for the whole vps accounts. This can be set easily by choosing "weekly" and by ticking Retention option Monthly..Like that daily and monthly backup will be not performed and only weekly backup will be done...well. Now I would like allow for some specific account more interval like also daily or also monthly or also daily and monthly...
This seem to be not possible under WHM....I see only the option to choose some specific account to make or not backups...but not to choose more interval..
So I must probably do that manually and set a cron job for the specific account I need but not see exactly how I must do..In fact am not very confident with SSH and I don't know exactly what code to type...

I have configured a custom 500.100 Error for one of my web sites in IIS 6.0. However, the custom error page appears nested within the HTML of the page throwing the error, at the point the error occurs.
This is problematic as live errors are being overlooked when they appear late in the script as the majority of the page outputs normally.
On my development server IIS 5.1 this does not happen. The Custom Error Page is shown as its own page. The errors cannot go unnoticed.
How can I change IIS 6.0's Customer Error to behave like my development server, and do it just for the one web site concerned?

I have a server that has Cpanel doing nightly backups using the built in auto backup tool in WHM. However, I have one account on the server with a 7 GB database. Everytime this database was dumped to the backup it would lock the database from users accessing it for about 30 minutes.
So instead, I'm now using a slave/master replication setup to do the database backup incrementally and have excluded this account from being backed up every night.
However, I would still like to be able to back up the account itself. Is there a way to setup a unique cron task to backup just this one account and skip the mysql database export?
Does cpbackup do anything more than just zipping up the account's folder in the home directory? Or are there other files it needs to keep in order to do a restore?

Quite often here people suggest negotiating a custom package.
I did that several years back and it has survived a couple of host ownership changes but now it is not being honored by the latest owner.
The price went up without notice (other than a bigger invoice, received too close to the notice period to do anything), and key features I needed have been withdrawn.
I don't suppose I have much option but to move on.
What experience do others have of this?
And for those of you who sell, and maybe have taken on clients from a previous owner, what would your attitude to long term customers be?
