I'm currently getting DDoSed. I'm on a VPS and my host has asked me to get the troubled domain off the server asap.
Question is, should I move to a dedicated to avoid affecting other users? Or should I find some shared/VPS hosting which has ddos protection?
I just moved my site to dedicated server due to shared hosting capacity problem. Again I am facing Too many connection problem, when i contacted go daddt they replied as follow

Thank you for contacting Server Support. There are a couple of things you might want to check. First is how you have your httpd service configured. Make sure you have sufficient MaxClients defined in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Additionally you will want to refer to your /etc/my.cnf file to make sure you have it configured to allow as many max_connections and max_user_connections as are needed.
I am using Redhat Fedora with Plesk as control Panel. Any help how i can change this Max_user_connections?
there is no one didnot hear about the Price increased @ LT
so i may need to know and ask evry body..
where did you moved ?
or
where are you think to be moved to?
i'll be more than happey if you help us and tell us with why did you moved to this one
If you check out [url], you can see that its not running super fast. The load is nothing, iostat, vmstat, etc don't show anything out of the ordinary. Is there anything else I can do to see what might be causing it? Am I just in need of some good mysql optimization?

Now cpanel is having some issues. Certain places acknowledge the new IP, others don't. IE all of my nameservers are still set to the old IP's and I can't seem to change them because they are already asigned to the old ones, etc. What can I do to try to fix all of this? Is there an easy tool? Is there a file I can just change?
View 1 Replies View RelatedQuestion for people who have moved to InnoDB: I wonder if it is worthwhile?
I don't care about ACID compliance, my only interest is in the row level locking which I do not get with large MYISAM tables which do table locking and clog up everything. I have a huge database that needs frequent updates, like 50,000 per hour. I also don't care about InnoDB's large size of indexes and such, I have lots of hard disk to throw at it.
My fear is with the backup of InnoDB tables, and the fact that it is not as simple to "fire up" the tables when I restart the database. MySQL manual suggests something like a query to "Warm up" the tables.
Any thoughts would be great, and if possible, any help with what settings you use. FYI, I am on a 4GB RAM machine with dual Core2Duo procs. When I tried the following in my.cnf for the InnoDB stuff ---
Code:
#skip-innodb
innodb_buffer_pool_size=1G
# Set the log file size to about 25% of the buffer pool size
innodb_log_file_size=250M
innodb_log_buffer_size=8M
innodb_data_file_path=/idbdata1:200M:autoextend
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=20M
innodb_log_group_home_dir = /iblogs
innodb_log_files_in_group = 2
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout=10
--- the MySQLD wouldn't start! Question about the stuff in red: what're those paths for?
Do I need to create those paths?
I been reading this forum for a while now and now i have a VPS for my blog. The reason i moved from shared to VPS was due to my old webhost told me i was usuing to many CPU power and it was causing the server to crash.
Now with the VPS same thing is still happening. My apache keeps hanging due to too many connections and only way to bring my site up is rebooting the VPS. i contacted the webhosting and they have me setup a cronjob to restar httpd every hour but that still doesnt do it.
This is killing me. I get around 1 million hits a month on my blog. I tried optimizing my apache and sql with the instructions i found here but it didnt help.
this is the plan i have:
Disk Space 30,000 MB (30 GB)
CPU Limit Equal Share
Guranteed Memory 256 MB
Burstable Memory 1024 MB
Monthly Bandwidth 2,000 GB
Control Panel cPanel / WHM
I recently moved my website from a shared hosting plan at Siteground to a VPS at WiredTree. All went well but I have this problem : When I try to access my website I can't. I get :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
This happens only for my home computer. If I try to access the website from anywhere else (even via my mobile phone) it works like a charm.
I am thinking this might be a DNS cache problem. Anyone can help me better understand the problem and solve it?
I recently moved a site from one hosting company to another. I went to the registrar and pointed the DNS at the new nameservers, and set up a new ftp account to upload the site. The DNS seemed to resolve ok after a few hours, (in my browser I was seeing the new host's default home page) so I uploaded the site to the new host.
Today sometimes I see the new site and sometimes the old!
I'll be editing pages and uploading them by ftp, then suddenly I'll see a different directory structure on the remote server. Similarly I'll refresh my browser while looking at the new site and... Hey! I'm seeing the page on the old site!
I've cleared the browser cache on my machine btw.
My guess is that either a server somewhere in the path (at my local service provider?) is throwing out old cached versions of the page, perhaps when it is busy, or that not all the nameserver/dns records have updated.
I am trying to push my server to return Moved Permanently code and redirect these URLs to the main URL, but cant find the right code.
domain.com
w.domain.com
ww.domain.com
wwww.domain.com
to
www.domain.com
There are a number of codes available on the net and all supposed to do that, but which one is the eight one?

I finally got my site moved over to Cartika's server. They were a big help with several issues I had, even fixing things that didn't have anything to do with their server.
I had to get a new template since the other one was only available at .wordpress but I like the new one much better anyway. I still have to go through each page to make sure I didn't forget to change some link or something. I also had to edit the php to work how I have it so I may have missed something (I haven't even seen php since 2003).
I'm writing a post about my initial impressions of Cartika and why I eventually chose them. I'll post the info at WHT when I finish it.
I just moved my site to point to a new server (changed nameservers) and everything is working fine but a subdomain.
My subdomain links.example.com still points to old site when example.com points to the new site.....
Should I delete that subdomain at the old host?
Should I just be patient?
Should I change nameservers for subdomain at old host?
The subdomain is configured at the new host already.....
I recently moved a site from a hosting company to a VPS. I updated the name servers with the domain name registrar and the transfer went smoothly.
However one thing does have me puzzled. As I understand it (and correct me if I am wrong) my new hosting company are now the authority for my zone and should have a zone file which points my domain name at one of their IP addresses? However my previous host has a webbased email panel - if I log in to it I can still send email (but not recieve). This has confused me as I would have thought that my new ISP would have a zone file with an MX record for my email? How is this possible?
I host a handful of domains, using a whm/cpanel setup. It came time for me to move to a new server, and here's the process I took:
1. I created accounts for all domains on the new server.
2. Created all relevant mail accounts for each domain on the new server
3. Restored all of the files for each sub account on the new server
4. Updated the DNS for each sub account to point to the new server
I didn't, however, move my main domain to the new server yet. On top of that, I use Google to manage the mail for my main domain.
Now when I try to send email to one of the accounts for any sub domains (that is on the new server), the email bounces back as undeliverable.
I moved my content from www,mysite,com to subdomain,mysite,com. I'd like to direct people who come to my site from search engines to the new location of the content.
For example, if they searched for pink purse and the search result was www,mysite,com/pink_purse,html, when they click that link, I'd like for them to redirected to subdomain,mysite,com/pink_purse.html. Can this be accomplished with some .htaccess magic?
I have a new DS with Plesk 12. I needed to change the default /var/www/vhosts location to a different physical drive, with more capacity.The larger disk is mounted as /disk1, so I created a folder here called vhosts, moved everything from the existing /var/www/vhosts directory, then I mounted /disk1/vhosts as /var/www/vhosts. See my fstab output below.
I then edited /etc/psa/psa.conf to update the VHOSTS location as per [URL] ...., and restarted Apache, MySQL and reconfigured domains.I thought all was OK, and that Plesk would just see /var/www/vhosts as normal, but I proceeded to migrate domains from another server to this box, and found that whilst some sites were working OK, many were not.
I was finding that existing config directives that used <Directory> were being ignored or seemed to disappear.All sites with .htaccess files stopped workingWe would get Apache / PHP errors saying that files could not be accessed as they were not in the allowed path for the domain. Plesk seems to be logging, reporting, and handling files as if they were in /disk1/vhosts, not the usual location. I have got sites working by adding /var/www/vhosts/ domain and /disk1/vhosts/domain to the PHP Settings page as allowed paths.
I have checked in the httpd.conf for each domain, and they all list the site document root as /disk1/vhosts/domain, not /var/www/vhosts/domain.It's as if Plesk is ignoring the change in /etc/psa/psa.conf.
All I want is for Plesk to think that /var/www/vhosts is the document root for all domains, and not do anything with /disk1/vhosts. I have many sites with hard coded links to included files in /var/www/vhosts/domain, and I dont want to have to rewrite them all to use /disk1/vhosts.
I have had to stick HTTP configuration directives on nearly every site, and add these entries to the allowed paths box, which obviously I should not have to do. Can any Plesk / Linux gurus tell me what I need to do to fix my problem, get sites working in /var/www/vhosts, and have Plesk allow .htaccess files to work without me having to add "AllowOverride All" to every domains??

What is the difference between Dedicated Virtual vs Regular Dedicated Server?
Also what are the pros and cons of going with Virtual?
to move from shared windows hosting to Dedicated windows hosting. This will be our first dedicated server and experience with dealing it too.
Someone suggested me Rackspace. But they were charging premium rates 440 USD for entry level windows server.
I am currently using a shared hosting but due to increasing traffic and server load my existing host is not able to provide reliable services and I am planning to upgrade my hosting service.
While I was searching for Dedicated Servers, I learnt about Virtual Dedicated Servers but I am not very sure about their reliability? Are Virtual Dedicated Servers useful? My website current serves over 2500-3000 visitors a day resulting in 30,000 pageviews and I am expecting the traffic to grow by atleast 2 folds in the next few months as I start some PPC campaigns and Email Marketing for my website. Can a Virtual Dedicated Server cater such needs assuming my website to be more of less dynamic website written in php?
I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??
What is the difference between a virtual private server and a dedicated server?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am going to be buying a dedicated server from kimsufi Most likely the 2XL Package.
My streamers will be using my server aswell, On weekends we will be running 3-4 streams at a time, weekdays 1-2 at a time.
Spreading all the streams out, at anyone time we will have 300 viewers.
I need to know your advice on this before i go spending money.
How do i convert my dedi into a flash media server, i need red5 or something, thats all i know so far. My streamers wil be streaming to server with FME, And i also want it coded so that my streams can only be embedded on my site.
Basically i dont have a clue where to start, how long would it take me to set up etc....
In addition, what kind of server do i need, windows / linux / traffic / burstable / standard etc..
Since my /var partition is full, so I moved /var/lib/mysql to /backup/mysql/.
Seems all the files are copied and I changed my.cnf reboot mysql, but all the web sites using db is not working anymore..
I'm expected to have around 1000-1500 users at a time after my ad compaign for my site.
currently, my setup is as follows:
VPS in UK
guaranteed memory: 256 burstable : 512
disk: 20GB
traffic: 200GB per month
price : 15 dollars a month
I would like to upgrade to :
guaranteed memory: 1GB
which is better ? to go with VPS ? or dedicated server ? which provider do u recommend ? how much am I expected to pay for my required setup ? what about CPU ?
