Direct Admin License Costs

Aug 9, 2007

I've just had a quote for a VPS that seemed good value for money until the cost of a Direct Admin license was added ($15 extra).

Looking at DA's pricing the cheapest license you can buy is an internal license (in bulk) which is available to server providers only at 9$ a month.

If that is the case why is it that quite a few providers in the offers forum are providing DA for 5$ or 6$?

As these licenses are being offered on low end VPS with tight margins anyway, I can't understand how they can afford to make a loss on the control panel (if they are in fact).

Dns (using Direct Admin)

Oct 11, 2009

Well what i can i say that direct admin is really pain in the ass, twice i asked in their forum but it was queued for moderation then not published. i'm having a problem setting up my domain 100% correctly.

let me explain more:

Before 1 or 2 weeks, i re-build the server and installed direct admin, but its really harder than other panels and i couldn't figure it 100% how to do,
my website now is running but i have the following problems

1- domain name can not be solved by all people. when i try to ping it it says its not resolvable, while the domain opens for most of users except for very few which gives an error saying can not connect to server

2- i get this error when using intodns.com
[url]
while everything else is ok

3- some of users in some countries access home/admin/domains/sharedip/... while others access home/admin/domains/mydomain.com/... which is the correct one, this causes problems but i temporary solved the problem by uploading files into both folders

Direct Admin And 64 Bit OS

Feb 20, 2008

I am trying to install Direct Admin on Cent OS 4.5 ( 64 bit ), but i am constantly getting library files error, one after another,

Example -

./directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

then

./directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

then

./directadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

goes on .........

But if i install 32 Bit library files (RPM), for them, they vanish and next error comes, with new file missing

I have tried loading 10 RPM's of 32 bit, but i cant go now forever...

Is there anyway to install Direct Admin on 64 Bit Cent OS?

Is there any 1 RPM file, which i can install and then Direct Admin wont give library problems.. ?

Direct Admin & 123-Reg

Sep 30, 2008

As in recent threads i have posted about getting a DA lifetime licence within the next month. I currently get my domains from 123-reg but i am just wondering if someone could help me or if they have an answer to my question!

If i bought a domain from 123-reg and then got a lifetime licence from DA and had it installed onto my server what happens to the nameservers? Like when DA install it onto my box would they sort out the nameservers for my domain aswell like ns1.mydomain.com, ns2.mydomain.com or would i have to pay extra for them?

Add Domain Via Direct Admin

Nov 7, 2009

When I introduce myself as a newbie, I do not exaggerate. Hope to slowly change that, thought.

I have recently rented a dedicated server from worldstream and have paid for a lifetime usage of Directadmin. My goal is just to host my own site.

Now I am trying to transfer the my domain to this server. From what I can tell, I need to change the DNS for the domain from it's current DNS.

In the Directadmin control panel under "DNS Administration", I see "Add Zone" which I assume is the step to take. Under "Add zone", it asks for

(1) Domain name (what format would I enter this)

(2) IP Address (I was supplied with three IP's when I signed up with worldstream. Do I just pick one of these?)

(3) Name Server 1 (Unsure of what to enter here)

(4) Name Server 2 (Ditto as above)

I realize this is quite basic for most.

Direct Admin With Server

Sep 28, 2008

Just been thinking and currently i host all my services with other hosting companies like my web hosting accounts etc...but was thinking of buying a DA licence and installing it onto one of my linux servers.

On DA's website it says one licence per IP or something along them lines...does this mean if i was to install a licence on say 99.99.99.999 and it was working ok etc but then if i changed my IP range to 99.99.99.998 would that mean the DA licence would no longer be valid?

CPanel To Direct Admin

May 12, 2007

I don't start a CPanel vs DA war, but need to get a "what might be different" list re a VPS.

When I got my present VPS (moved from shared hosting) I had it initially set up with DA. All my previous experience had been with CP on my shared hosting account, but I had read about CP being a bit of a resource hog.

When I tried to set up my VPS, I got it wrong. I ended up with 2 instances of "mymainsite.com" on the server. I got so confused talking with support and their UNIX lingo, that I had them switch to CPanel.

I'm probably going to move to another host and thinking of using DA to save RAM.

I'm not a reseller of hosting, just have 20+ small to very small sites. I have a number of mySQL databases that get a fair number of queries. I have 1 vBulletin app but the traffic on that site is VERY low.

So what will I need to learn differently in DA?

-cron jobs
-parked domains
-migrating sites
-backing up sites

Direct Admin : Root Ownership

May 15, 2007

I'm Running (just) Direct Admin On a Centos 4.3

Due to a typo at the comand line as Root, ive manages to change the owner ship of unknown mounts of files.

The command that was processed (Before it was complete)

chown -R reseller:reseller /

I managed to stop the process ctr+c
and these were the last files to see fly past.
The last one in the list is where it stopped at.

Code:
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11566/task/11566': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11566/task/11566/fd/0': No such device or address

chown: changing ownership of `/etc/X11/X': No such file or directory
chown: changing ownership of `/dev/core': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/usr/local/include/libpng/libpng12':

Too many levels of symbolic links

At the moment the server is still running and it seems only to be log in issues with Direct admin. All user / reseller / Admin accounts can no longer log in.

Error after logging in : Unable to determine Usertype user.conf needs to be repaired
No images or nothing

Direct Admin: Php Mail() Only Sends Email To Certain Domains

Jun 5, 2009

I am currently setting up my server, and are experiencing some problems.

Some of the mails sendt with the php mail() func, ends up in the mail queue in DA, and I get the following error log in DA:

2009-06-04 20:36:02 Received from <> R=1MCHnG-0005uQ-9v U=mail P=local S=1344 T="Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender"

2009-06-04 20:36:02 routing failed for admin@vmnd001.local <admin@munnbind.net> F=<>: Unrouteable address
*** Frozen (delivery error message)

This only happens with some email domains though. If I set the recipient to my yahoo mail, it works as a sharm, but when I set my other email (<<removed>>) as recipient, i get the error log above.

Uplink Costs

Aug 17, 2009

I'm not much of a co-location expert as we do not own our own equipment but a customer we help from time to time is asking me about this. They have a cabinet at theplanet and only a pair of redundant 100mbit uplinks coming into their cisco 2924 they rent from theplanet. Theplanet wants $350/mo along with $350 setup for a pair of redundant gigabit uplinks. Then another $225/mo for a Cisco Catalyst 2960G.

Does this at all seem reasonable to anyone? The switch can just be purchased so it's not that big of a deal. The uplink cost cannot be avoided though. If it's not reasonable obviously they can go back to their account manager to discuss it but I don't know what you'd expect to pay in Dallas for that.

Also before anyone suggests any other provider not an option. Last time they looked around theplanet was the only provider in dallas capable of handling the attacks. Others would just null route the IP's rather than trying to mitigate the attacks. So no point in making suggestions as it's been explored in the past.

Colocation Costs

Aug 21, 2009

I purchased a dual opteron, 4gb server from Geeks and was thinking of colocation, but the prices are outlandish.

I currently have a dual Xeon 2.4ghz, 4gb ram, 100mbps with 5tb b/w (leased) and it costs me $149/mo.

To colocate my server I get 500gb b/w and it costs me $69 is the lowest I've found. Why would a person colocate instead of just leasing?

Datacenter Support Cant Tell Me How Much A KVM Costs

Aug 28, 2009

So I needed to reboot one of my colocated machines into a different kernel, compile and load a kernel module (for a network interface) and then bring up that interface. So I called the datacenter support to ask if they could compile and load the module for me and inquire as to about how long that would take. On their website they say they provide Best Effort third party application support and 24/7 Phone Support with on site server admins so this doesn't really seem like a unreasonable request. I want to pay them for support and they're there to do it right?

Apparently not.

The support guy said that compiling and loading the module was dependant on "very many factors". The first "factor" he inquired about was what OS we were running--Debian. "Debian isn't a supported OS, we can't do that for you." What? I'm sorry you CAN'T do it? I thought you provided "Best Effort" support. This seems more like zero effort support to me. (I'm willing to provide step by step instructions but apparently they won't do that because they don't want to.)

Ok, fine, you won't compile and load something for me no big deal that's what KVMs are for.

"Can you hook up a KVM?"

"Sure"

"How much would that cost"

"I don't know, this is the support department not the sales department, you'd have to ask the sales department tomorrow."

Really? So if my server is exploding at night and you wont even try to do anything about it and my only option is to have you setup a KVM you can't tell me how much that will cost? What am I going to tell my boss when we get a rediculous bill for a KVM--the support guy wouldn't tell me how much it costs? Not good enough. Not only that but you're going to be a give me a snarky response to my question--a question I only asked because you wouldn't provide remote hands?

Is it just me or is it pretty rediculous that the support guys can't tell you how much KVM costs? Not all situations where you'd need KVM are planned or happen during the hours the sales department is open. It apparently isn't a problem to have them hook up the KVM 24/7 you just wont know how much it's going to cost you until the next business day. Is this typical of datacenter support?

My guess is that support is completely hit and miss, I've had great experiences with a small datacenter before (Joe's helped out when a hard drive in a RAID failed) and bad experiences with larger datacenters (one you've all heard of, I asked ahead of time if they could ghost a drive and replace it. They said yes. I provided step by step instructions with screenshots they tried it and failed saying "I don't really know linux, I'm a windows guy, I don't know what I'm doing, I messed it up somehow, I don't know what I did" and yet still billed me for it).

Secure Web Space Costs

Oct 26, 2009

I'm working for an organisation which is looking for a company who can provide us with a public website to be updated with a CMS and 132 secure areas which should be accessible from that public website.

Today I was sent a proposal by them stating that there would be a cost per year of:

£3,350 for data storage areas of up to 20mb space per secure area (i.e. £25 per secure area)

£6,700 for data storage areas of up to 75mb space per secure area (i.e. £50.70 per secure area)

We really would prefer much more space per area than this (upwards of 2GB per area) and are a bit wary of how much is being charged for the storage space.

I have three questions on this :

1) How do these prices compare with other hosts that you know of? Are they reasonable?

2) Is this 'secure space' much more expensive than normal space?

3) Are there hosts that offer unlimited secure space for reasonable prices?

Btw, these are the facilities that this host provides:

6 redundant Internet connections
24x7x365 onsite support
Fire protection
Backup power generators
Daily back up to magnetic tape media
Anti virus protection for all uploaded content
Industry Standard Cisco firewalls

Jatol - Avoid This Host At All Possible Costs

Sep 7, 2007

I've had Jatol as a host and a few years back, they were just about the best deal out there.

Recently, I've come to learn that they will simply let the sites go down.

They host a number of my sites which have been down for a couple of days now, no one can acces. In addition their helpdesk and main site remain down and support fails to even respond to emails. Whois listed phone is disconnected.

I can't even access cpanel to backup log files/copy stats before moving to another host.

I'm getting the impression they won't honor the remaining time on the account (prepaid for (1) year). This possible fraud?

Omnis Network - A Host Be Avoided At All Costs

Apr 29, 2008

I had been a Omnis.com customer for the last 6 years.
Was hosting 8 Domains with them and paying nearly $100 on each domain per year.

Now this issue happened many times before but i ignored it, but not anymore.

One of the accounts - they had capped email limit of 200MB - now we all know that is not much.

One morning i getup and i have no emails - wondering what the issue is , i login to my account and notice that i am 30MB over the limit, now that is not too much, so i think i willjust login and clear some emails and make room.

To my surprise on logging in - i see NO EMAILS whatsoever in any of my email accounts. Now the dilema is what to delete when i see no emails , so my next step is to call customer support.

Thinking that i am in Los Angeles, these guys are in Los Angeles - they would be nice and helpful , to my surprise i have never spoken to more rude and egoistic people in my life.

The support guy has only 1 solution for me - go in to my email control panel and delete the accounts and recreate them to get free disk space - but is that not amazing - he says i cannot see any of my emails because i am over the limit -- he says he cannot upgrade my account even if i pay right away , because i am over the limit - so only solution delete the account - with a sad heart i deleted my wife's account which had 40MB in it and recreated it.

Even then the emails did not show up - so very nicely the support guy says - Sir! give it 4 - 5 hours to refresh and then you will see your emails.

Now tell me my friends is this the kind of host you would ever want to go with ? that also after spending nearly $700 every year for the last 6 years..

Please stay away from them - i am in the process of moving over to innohosting after reading this forums , rameen of innohosting was so helpful - wish all hosts were the same.
