Dedicated Hoster Incl. Good Mailserver & Global Connection
Apr 7, 2009
I am currently with a smaller US-provider where I am running a dedicated gentoo server with a dozen domains (all small stuff, mostly sme/private websites) and 2 dozen email accounts.
The nice thing about the current provider is that he lets me run sub-accounts where the holders of those accounts have their own billing. I let them run a domain/website on my server since its no extra cost for them, but they pay for the domain and extra email space for example w/o me having to care for it. They basically offer a minimum package and add every single thing on top of it, which I like since I do not need any webpage builders, templates whatever else. I rather only pay what I take.
Basically I am happy except for the connection speed, specially for the email. I am in Asia and other people using this server from Europe, and the time it takes to connect, up/download data to the server and to download larger emails is simply out of the normal.
any recommendations there? I am currently paying 75 USD/Mo + domain names. I think this is also a bit on the high side given that the server hardware is a bit out of date by now.
I am looking at the minimum to relocate only the email hosting to some faster service, which would have to have a reasonable storage size (>= gmail) with POP/IMAP access and of course to use my own domain names.
I'm using plesk with CentOS 6.6 and the postfix/courier mail services...I tried to connect an existing mail account with a mail program like thunderbird. But I'm not able to connect to it, except when I'm using "no connection security"...So I tried, if manually contacting the POP3s Port is working:
Code: openssl s_client -ssl3 -host mail.domain.de -port 995 with the following result:
Code: CONNECTED(00000003) write:errno=104 --- no peer certificate available --- No client certificate CA names sent
[code]....
the same results come for trying to connect to port 465 (ssmtp) and 993 (imaps)port 443 (https) seems to work fine..i already checked if the corresponding certificates exist (e.g. /usr/share/imapd.pem) and filled with the standard certificate informtaion given by plesk checking openssl on the server gives the following result:
Code: # openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
For many years Linux has not included a kernel debugger. Linus Torvalds vetoed them for years, for reasons that he explained quite well in a known email: "When things crash and you fsck and you didn't even get a clue about what went wrong, you get frustrated. Tough. There are two kinds of reactions to that: you start being careful, or you start whining about a kernel debugger [...] I happen to believe that not having a kernel debugger forces people to think about their problem on a different level than with a debugger. I think that without a debugger, you don't get into that mindset where you know how it behaves, and then you fix it from there. Without a debugger, you tend to think about problems another way. You want to understand things on a different _level_."
Despite of those objections, many people wanted a debugger and KGDB is finally going in. It's a remote debugger, it needs two machines. x86 and sparc machines are supported
Im wondering is it time to update to the latet kernel version?
Currently have Kernel Version 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 (SMP)
Forwarding a domain (incl. subdirectories/subdomains) to the same URL
I'm looking for a provider which can offer a service similar to mydomain.com, I should be able to add an unlimited number of domains to forward on external urls in a way which should point anything-you-digit.myname.com and myname.com/anything-you-digit to the same destination url If the service might also allow to add title, keywords and description for each domain, this would be even better but not required.
MyDomain can offer all this but there's a fee for each added domain while we'd prefer paying a monthly fee for a single hosting where adding multiple domains.
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.
Hi! I am looking for a good dedicated server for a good price, i've gone through many of the dedicated server offers but did not find on that satisfied me completely.
I am looking for someone who can match up their dedicated specs with (e secure data . com), i would go with them but the charge a very high setup fee , i don't want to pay more then $100 just for the first month.
Please give me a server thats $100 or less monthly, free setup and the following specs:
I currently have godaddy dedicated server and the 100mbps connection is shared with other servers, and I pay about $120 a month. I normally get an average of 30mbps out of it. Do you guys know of any cheap hosting companies that offer dedicated servers with a 1Gbps shared connection? And the main point I'm trying to get to is, do you guys know of any web hosts that would be faster than an average of 30mbps, even if they're only 100mbps shared connections? I'd really appreciate any potential hosts you guys can direct me to that are pretty fast.
I'm looking to buy a dedicated server from 1and1.co.uk - there features are great, but i hear so many bad things about customer service, I wondered what your experiences are before i purchase:

I'm looking for a dedicated hosting server to store more than 800GB in video. This video will not be played back, this place is just to store and where people can download.
As far as I can tell my only solutions is dedicated, but if anyone can offer me a better solution please let me know. Before I had this videos on different servers but the company does not allow me to keep them for storage.
I need to know the top 3 hosting companies in the US, and why you like them.
I like aplus.net but after doing some research I found out that this company is a nightmare.
Please, I need help really fast! Thank you all in advanced for your suggestions.
I'm with burstnet and they're pretty good, however I do have some downtime and that's really my main issue. I need my sites to be online 24/7, or as close to that as possible.
I have a budget of around $80 per month, which isn't much, but I don't need any top of the range server, I'd love to go with singlehop, they look amazing, but their pricing is out of my range.
Can anybody recommend any good companies, with good uptime and a reasonable support team? It would be brilliant if they had some sort of remote reboot facility, as waiting for the company support team to reboot can be a pain...
I don't need much, the server is just to host my person websites, project ideas etc. I need around 1TB bandwidth, 100GB diskspace maybe... I could probably manage on shared hosting right now, however I need the freedom of my own dedicated. I've had a bad experience with VPSs before, so they're out of the question.
I've searched, but burst seems to be my only option, which is disappointing.
Requirements: <$80 P/M ~100GB Disk space ~1TB bandwidth ~10 IPs.
I have been with 1&1 for over three years now and I have never seen our dedicated server go down. Their network is first-class and I have actually been able to get transfer rates of over 10MB/sec on our 100Mbps port.
I'm in the market for a colo host now because our current hardware is getting old and the CPU is really loaded down, but in my search I realized how many bad comments there are and how few good comments there are about hosts. Therefore, I just wanted to try and make the reviews more equitable before I leave this host (and possible get ripped off at my next one
my host freaked up when getting a letter from a company about DMCA, and quickly shut my site down.
Does anyone know of a dedicated server hoster who does not jump the gun and shut down sites from a little Cease and Desist letter for around 299 EUR a month?
The site gets roughly in the thousands of hits per day.
I was searching a few days ago for a good vps hosting. When I found out VPSLAND.COM, I was very surprised. Their prices are the cheapest on the net and, I thinked it was an hoax. So I did a bit of search on the net, and I found many negatives comments on them. But, I decided I try them anyway and buy a Windows VPS... and I think it was the good option !
The "supposed" downtimes and "non-replying support team" are totaly fictive. You want service, then, you get it with VPSLAND.COM. They offer great VPS plans at a price you will never see at other webhosters. And, since 3 days, no downtime.
I would like to hear people's stories about VPSLAND.COM if anyone haves.
I have a problem with hoster. Purchased virtual hosting. All worked fine for more than a year. I did not make any changes in websites recently. Last several days one issue appears constantly: website starts downloading very slowly (30-60 sec for 20 kb page, or connection timeout). And each day their tech support don't realy want to help me. Only after 3-4 emails they fix the problem, but on the next day the problem arises again. I suppose they just ignore my problem. Possibly server is overloaded by other sites, or software was not tuned correctly, or something like that, and hoster does not want to solve the problem.
I work for a small web design firm with about 100 clients/domains and we are starting the search for a new hosting provider. We need a managed dedicated server with an offsite backup. We are also looking for a company that knows what they are talking about. If we have a Linux or server question they need to be able to give us a quick straight answer. Also, if they could help us transfer all our hosting accounts from our current server over to the new one that would be a BIG plus.
We have been thinking about Rackspace or 1and1.com but were wondering what the community thought. Any recommendations?
This is the first basic req. I have. I myself are not the most skilled coder in the world, nor is the others around me and we like Cpanel since it "saves" us from confusion very often. - - - - - - -
2 : Script php / mySQL friendly; We use CMS scripts (MXP, Joomla, e107, etc) for our communities and forum scripts (phpbb, vBulletin, etc) at all times. So a good loading time is a must, nothing is as devestating for a communitie than a slooow forum. - - - - - - -
3 : And the regular ; BIG and cheap. We just doing noncommercial / fun / silly projects / communities so it needs to be cheap and with a good size. Have some photographers + communities with albums and that eats up a good chunk of webspace after awhile. - - - - - - - -
We greatly appriciate any tips on hosters that covers this. Support don't have to superfast, we pretty relaxed when it comes to that, but the other reqs. is needed.
If you know or even better USE a hoster like this please let us know. We badly need one at the moment. We would be very happy if you could post or PM us a link/s to your or other sites you know of that is active and uses scripts like;
CMS systems Forum Photoalbums
So we can check the loadingtime over here in Sweden.
We need to get another dedicated server in Germany for a video application (so low latency and high-quality connectivity are crucial). Our current server is hosted with NetDirekt in Frankfurt -- our first year with them has been very good. However I want the next server located in a different city, for redundancy.
My considerations: - English-speaking sales & support - Highly reliable network - Low latency to Germany users
Do you have any recommendations among the following short-list of providers? Germany: - plusserver.de - probe-networks.de - hosteurope.de Amsterdam: - eurovps.com - leaseweb.com
Is Amsterdam a suitable location if I'm serving German end-users? Latency matters a lot... so if a German datacenter saves 20ms of latency, that's important.
Do you know of any other comparable providers -- especially ones that do not require a 12-month contract?
I've got some questions regarding use of a VPS as a mail-server. I've had this little domain since 1996, and it's not only my main e-mail but now also my family, extended family, close friends and work colleagues. No complaints with my current shared host, except their mail-server just isn't cutting it. They've even stated as much, and suggested users not happy about performance move to g-mail. Whatever, I want my name at my domain. So, I'm thinking I should just get myself a VPS to use mostly as a mail-server (the website it self gets like, 10 unique hits/month from totally lost Googlers)
I'd like to keep things around $70/month, a price well worth it IMHO to not have to be told 'the webmail is down again.' I have no way to determine my total mail bandwidth, but I'm guessing 10-20 legitimate e-mails in and out per day with about 2 dozen users.
Any thoughts on pitfalls, or advice? How does the actual network connection work? I.E, if the VPS has a 10mbps Ethernet connection with 10 total users, does each user get a dedicated 1mbps connection? Also, any good recommendations? I'm looking a liquidweb, but really have no clue. Location doesn't matter, but I'm Ohio so anything nearby might be refreshing for a change.
My technical experience isn't great, but I am able to RTFM and have setup a Debian server on scrap hardware with trixbox installed, so I'm guessing it's not much harder than that. This all kind of started out as a hobby, but has oddly enough become a bit vital for myself and others who use email@mydomain.
We're having a problem with a few clients saying that people are sending email to them but that the emails are not getting through. They ran their domain name via a system that tests email servers and it came back with the following issues for the server:
"There was a problem while talking with the mail server. Got 'Socket Timeout Exception: Read timed out'"
The mailserver we're running is Exim. The domain name is www.newwritingnorth.com and the site they used for testing is here:
[url]
we ARE getting emails in, but just not from some people, so its a strange one
