Dedicated Hosting, Sites And Questions

Nov 13, 2006

Hi I've never worked with a dedicated host, and I was considering going with hostgator, because they provide managed hosting and cPanel, which I'm fond of.

This is not for my own sites, but for someone I work for as a programmer/webmaster. He has asked that I make the decision on this, even though I've basically advised against it, due to my lack of experience with dedicated hosting.

I've also looked at lunarpages, doesn't seem to be much different than hostgator. Here are links to their pages...

http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated.shtml

http://www.lunarpages.com/dedicated-hosting/

Does anyone have experience from either of these? I don't think the sites hosted on the server are going to be particularly high bandwidth sites (I don't really think they even need a dedicated host) ... do you think we'll be okay with a single 2.8 Ghz processor?

Also, does anyone have any advice as far as the number of sites hosted on the server? He wants to move ALL of them to the same server. Any thoughts on whether or not this is a good idea?

I know I've asked a lot here but I'm really getting into new territory. If you can provide any input on ANY of the above items, I'd greatly appreciate it.

ADULT Hosting - A Few Specific Questions

Nov 13, 2008

I had a few specific questions about ADULT hosting. I've been refining an idea I had for an adult website after getting some good feedback from this site, but I had a few specific questions I still need addressed. If you think this forum is the wrong place to be asking about this, do you happen to know of any other forums that specialize in discussing adult web hosting?

My general plan is to set up a video-based adult site that charges people money (a monthly fee) to see the premium content. I have a general idea about my start-up investments, but not necessary how much each would cost, and I'm trying to put together a budget. If anyone could help me fill in some of these blanks I would really appreciate it!!

I'll need a lawyer to set up site disclaimers, contracts, etc. - I assume this will be a few hundred dollars - does this sound correct?

I need to build the site- this is where I'm not sure about costs. The general specifications are like any other adult website - users pay to register - so I would go with one of the established companies that deals with secure online credit card transactions - any ideas which ones are good? How much do they normally take?

Users then can watch the videos, rate and give feedback. Since I don't really know any programming besides HTML, I'm assuming I need to hire someone to build the site and make sure it is secure. I'm also assuming this will be the most expensive part of the investment. Can someone give me some estimates about this? Are there general templates online that I can use that will save money? Is guru.com a trusted place to hire programmers? Is this something I could do myself without spending years learning a new programming language? How DO I make the site secure, and how can I keep people from stealing my premium content and posting it on other sites? I'm obviously trying to make this as cheap as possible without sacrificing all the quality - but unfortunately I have thousands to invest and not tens of thousands (i don't know if this will be a problem or not).
Also - hosting. I was told that a popular adult video site will cost a fortune in bandwidth. If I'm charging a monthly membership fee I'm hoping that can offset the costs. Can someone recommend good, scalable adult video hosting - and give me a general idea about what kind of server I need, how much bandwidth etc. I figure since this is membership driven I can start small and then increase bandwidth depending on how many members join, so I'm always making a profit. Does that sound realistic?

Finally, can adult pay sites still make money today? Not just a couple bucks here and there, but enough so I can eventually quit my day job?

The wonderful feedback I got here before helped me to reshape my ideas, and now I'd like to begin the next steps. Thank you all very much again for ANY help you can give me - I sincerely appreciate all the generous, knowledgeable people that make this forum a pleasure to visit!

Hosting Multiple Sites On The Same Hosting Account. Getting A Weird Redirect

Oct 26, 2009

I have about 5 sites all hosted on my same hosting account. One of those domains is attached to the hosting account. I place my other domains in a folder of a sub-directory of my main domain. This has been working fine, up until today when i noticed a weird error. I give you a little example of how my sites are setup

my main domain:
www.maindomain.com

My other sites hosted in a sub-directory of my main domain:
www.maindomain.com/sites/site2/
www.maindomain.com/sites/site3/

How my other sites appear on the web:
www.site2.com
www.site3.com

This works fine for every page until i go to www.site2.com/index.php
It redirects to www.maindomain.com/sites/site2/index.php for some reason

Dedicated Or Clustered? Which One Is Better For Extremely High Traffic Sites

Apr 24, 2008

hosting solution for 3 very high traffic blogs, all running on WordPress.

I have been researching dedicated and I came across a couple posts where people recommended Clustered hosting over Dedicated for better handling high traffic DB driven sites in the times of Digg or Slashdot frontpage exposure.

I would like your feedback, and your opinion on what to choose from the following options:

1. Netfirms Enterprise III (Clustered)

2. ResellerZoom Failover (Clustered)

3. LiquidWeb Dedicated Webmaster Series (Dedi w/ 2GB DDR and a 3Ghz Intel Hyperthreaded)

4. HiVelocity Dedicated (Dedi w/ Quad-Core Xeon 2.4GHz and 2GB DDR)

Hosting Several Sites

Oct 21, 2009

I am interested in your suggestions as to what I should do. I need a setup that will allow me to host several sites. They are mostly my own and low traffic. I do not offer hosting to any other folks, if so, i will set the sites up myself. I need mysql, email and virus checker, php, and firewall. I would like unix/linus hosting and am used to cpanel. Would prefer east coast hosting since many sites pertain to local areas there. I was thinkg of a reseller or webmaster package.

OpenVZ Questions

Sep 23, 2007

I am aiming to offer VPS based on OpenVZ. Have some questions, please help to answer

- in OpenVZ, is there any monitor script, that will release an email to say one VPS is down? Or will I need to use external monitoring?

- can I do the backup / restore of full VPS within OpenVZ? Can customers do it themselves?

- how hard to change the VPS configuration? For example, upgrading from 256MB RAM to 512MB RAM, or adding more CPU, space...?

- how about the IP control in OpenVZ? Let's say each VPS will have 2 IPs, so to prevent customers adding more IPs, I will need to setup VLAN, is that correct? How hard is it in OpenVZ?

- how about the ideal hardware for running OpenVZ? Saying SATA, or SCSI disks, how many RAM... for example

Few Questions About Tektonic

Dec 26, 2008

I have a few questions about tektonic, I talked to their costumer service but maybe you guys out of experience can tell me a bit more.

Also if anyone knows of a XEM server that is located near Atlanta, that provides the same as TekTonic I would appreciate the info. and if anyone has one of those lifetime promo codes, that would be apprecialoved.

ok I plan to get 2 VPS from tektonic ( this is my top choice so far ) I want to have one 100% dedicated on the intranet for MYSQL, the other for apache and all the other stuff you know.

I also Need cpanel to move things around, so I need that one ( however someone told me I can buy a cpanel license separately )

ok I am going for the 294MB one for the Mysql and the 1178MB one for the apache and all that.

they say that they warantee the CPU 2.6GHZ on the 294MB one and 7.x GHZ on the 1178MB one, is this for real they really guarantee this CPU, or that's what you can burst.

the costumer service guy told me that CPU is guaranteed, and you can't burst, however they work on virtuosso and all virtuosso VPS I have worked do allow bursts, I would like to know from experience how fast are those servers processing, I mean for real.

because if I get 300MHZ of CPU and I can burst to 2.6GHZ, that would suck because I already have CPU intensive apps on my other VPS, and I plan to move.

Static Routes Questions

May 18, 2007

I have a small network at my colo provider.

Colo Provider
|
My HP 2650
| |
server1 serverN

I want to setup static routes on my servers so that my colo provider won't bill me for traffic among my servers.

I use FreeBSD 6 on my servers. I read the FreeBSD handbook on this and it looks like i should do this:

route add -net 0.0.0/24 0.0.0.3

where 0.0.0/24 is the C class I have from my provider and 0.0.0.3 is the IP address of my server (one of them/any of them).

However, this route appears to already exist as i get this error when running that route command:

route: writing to routing socket: File exists
add net 0.0.0: gateway 0.0.0.3: route already in table

Do I need to use a non-routeable ip block (eg 192.168.x.x) for this? Can I use "real"/routeable ips? Does FreeBSD take care of this for me automatically?

Time For A Dedicated? And Opinions On Future Hosting Dedicated Servers?

Mar 26, 2009

Some information about my forum:

I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.

The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.

Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?

The server I am looking at has these stats:

E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management

The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.

Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?

Best Solution To Run Several Domains/sites On Your Hosting Account

Oct 10, 2009

As a domainer I have several domainnames I like to add to a hostingaccount.

Many of the domains will have a blog or minisite.

At this moment I have a shared hosting account with unlimited domains.

But for seo reasons it is better not to link the domains/urls to eachother cause they have the same IP.

What can you recommend me to have all the domains on different IP's?

Or is there another way to do this,I heard something about c-class....

If I have to put the domains on different IP's on my shared hosting account I will have to pay $2,50 for an IP per month,this will be quite expensive.

Hosting Needed For Investment Affiliate Sites

Apr 5, 2008

I say relative, because I have built several websites in the past, going back to 1998 or so, but have never really pursued it heavily, and only recently have decided to get into the game on a more proactive scale.

In searching for a web host, I run across common TOS which seems on the surface to exclude what I want to do, which among other niches I've got in mind, include investing (gold, real estate, forex, commodities, etc.).

Maybe some of the hosting vendors here can help me with clarification. I do not want to host an investment platform, like a stock or forex trading platform. I just want to publish info sites with affiliate links to the investment products I deem worthy.

Any problem with that? If so, does anyone know of good hosting for such sites?

I've perused many hosting forums lately and find this one to be among the top of the top! Good job WHT owners!
