Dotster VPS
Jun 13, 2007Anyone have any experience with any of the Dotster VPS'es? I'm interested because I believe they're based in Vancouver, WA which means this might be another West Coast option.

Jul 9, 2008I've been with dotster for several years for my personal website - both as a registrar and host. I upgraded my package about 6 months ago so I could have more domains and added a professional photography website and blog subdomain (using wordpress).
Overall I haven't been too unhappy. I did have a problem a few months ago where my photography site was really slow for everyone visiting. I sent in a support request at the time and never got a response. It seemed to correct itself after a couple of days but never got any kind of an e-mail or call regarding a resolution. No real problems since then.
So fast forward to this week. I was preparing to start re-vamping my blog so I went into the apps section and started a backup of the blog webspace. I've done it several times for all my webspaces. The site will report that it's undergoing maintenance during the backup and I didn't go back to my blog until the next morning - 24 hours later. The site was still down and the backup application said that it was still running. I contacted support and opened a ticket. They said it would be resolved within 24 hours. I was not happy with that but took it well. The ticket was opened 30 hours ago now so my site has been down for about 55 hours which to me seems ridiculous. I followed up with their support desk right at 24 hours asking what the deal was. They said it was escalated and it was being addressed. The guy I talked to said he wouldn't give me a timeframe since the previous timeframe already was passed and didn't want to give me false expectations (it was the same tech who opened the ticket).
Since that call this morning I've sent a couple of e-mails asking for updates and received no response at all.
I'm a very patient guy and have an IT background so I understand technical issues but for my site to be down hard for over 30 hours is so unacceptable, is that normal, am I being unreasonable? I'm starting to think I'm just getting what I pay for. I had been thinking it was a good deal and the service was good but this support is so bad it's got me thinking maybe I need to jump ship and find someone else. My dillema is overall I am happy with them and would be worried I'd be finding other problems if not the same problems with other hosting companies.
Understanding Dotster VPS
Jun 20, 2007I recently went from dedicated to Dotster VPS to cut down on price and also because I do not have as many of clients I once had.
I chose their cPanel Premium
[url]
Soon after I realized via the Virtuozzo Panel, that I have limits on everything
.
I was pretty upset that none of these limits were posted anywhere on Dotsters site and its a surprise not welcomed.
I want to post some images so maybe you can tell me if their limits are reasonable or if they are way off.
[url]
I had them actually raise my diskinodes from 400/500k to 600/700k
and also my quotaugidlimit from 100 to 200.
For some reason I have 162 ugid's but i have only restored 23 or so accounts on this server, with no other special things running besides the standards. Shouldn't I be around under 100 ugid's?
So my main problems that I have is the folowing limits:
diskinodes: I have only 35 gigs used of the 50 allocated, their initial quota of 500,000 seemed low. now they bumped be to 700,000 and i'm almost there.
quotaugidlimit: for only having 23 accounts it's crazy to believe that I had to have their initial limit raise to 200. I have noticed a lot more users like #2121, #13232, #124312 and so on compaired to my dedicated server. My dedicated had about 5, this VPS shows about 30 or so.
kmemsize: their limit is 18,022,400 bytes, which I always seem to be reaching.
privvmpages: hard limit is 292,912 and i'm usually exceeding this one.
Here is a screenshot of my QoS:
[url]
Also, I noticed once I reach/exceed limits, the first things to be shutdown is my webmail and cpanel and so on, but the sites stay up Is there a way of setting up which resources are shut down in what order? To have mail up is the biggest request. I rather have ftp and cpanel down first.
I am really not happy with what is going on and gaining some user feedback would be great. I really wish Dotster had a complete breakdown of limits, before I bought.
Anyone Tried Dotster Windows Hosting
May 22, 2009Has anyone tried one of Dotster's Windows plans as I can't find any reviews using the search? Their plans seems to offer a lot for a low price.

Jun 6, 2008recently had my site designed and hosted by dotster and some parts are not working the way we expected. I have attempted to contact them over 10 times
I have waited on hold over an hour
there " live 24 hour support" you wait for 15 minutes than apparently a girl named sharon helps you and you get no response.
I have gotten absolutely ZERO response from them.
Just to let everyone know I would NEVER host a site with this company.
at the very least get back to your customers when they have an issue

CPanel Horde Vulnerability Found - Update Your CPanel
Mar 7, 2008An arbitrary file inclusion vulnerability has been discovered in the Horde
webmail application. At present, we can confirm that this security
vulnerability in question affects Horde 3.1.6 and earlier. Based on
incomplete information at this time, we also believe this affects Horde
Groupware 1.0.4 and earlier as well (cPanel does not use Horde Groupware
at this time).
cPanel customers should update their cPanel and WHM servers immediately to
prevent any chance of compromise. The patch will be available in builds
11.18.2 and greater (or 11.19.2 and greater for EDGE systems). The updated
builds will be available immediately to all fast update servers. The
builds will be available to all other update servers within one hour of
this posting.
To check which version of cPanel and WHM is on your server, simply log
into WebHost Manager (WHM) and look in the top right corner, or execute
the following command from the command line as root:
/usr/local/cpanel/cpanel -V
You can upgrade your server by navigating to 'cPanel' -> 'Upgrade to
Latest Version' in WebHost Manager or by executing the following from the
command line as root:
/scripts/upcp
It is recommended that all use of Horde 3.1.6 and earlier be stopped (on
cPanel and non-cPanel systems alike) until Horde updates can be applied.
You can disable Horde on your cPanel system by unchecking the box next to
'Server Configuration' -> 'Tweak Settings' -> 'Mail' -> 'Horde Webmail'
within WHM, and saving the page with the new settings.

May 8, 2008I am in the process of moving websites and emails to a new host. I am doing the transfer manually because we are gradually moving different part of the site at one time to allow developers to work on new parts.
I now want to migrate all of the email accounts off the old cpanel server to the new cpanel host. What files and settings do I need to move so settings are not lost, such as save mail and contacts?
SSL With CPanel
May 11, 2009I'm having big trouble trying to update an SSL certificate with cPanel.
I'm such a dummy that I've ended up buying 2 SSL certificates to see if that may fix it.
I now have 1 certificate for www.mydomainname.com and 1 for just mydomainname.com
I have logged into the account in cpanel and uploaded both certificates and when I view them in Security -> SSL/TLS manager -> Certificates They both display the correct host, correct issuer, and correct expire date.
But when I try to visit my site using https I get:
The certificate expired on 4/8/2008 7:59 PM.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

PAX And CPanel
Jun 27, 2009Anyone here use PAX in their kernel builds? I've been trying to find a setup that works, but with no luck. stability wise.
I can run CPanel fine with just about any PAX setup, but after awhile with some settings the server eventually will get a load of over 250 and 1000 processes like it's not able to terminate them, or turn 4GB ram into like 3.2GB ram.

so i want to change to something else. I assume that VPS+whm+cpanel will give me something similar.
Which vps hosts are good? and which packages can you offer me? I'm paying about 19 usd a month now.
Cpanel
May 17, 2008i am now unable to remove subdomains for some reason, even though it says that it is successful.
i added 2 parked domains that is to redirect to my main domain and it created the subdomain folders for me.
i went to try creating a subdomain for parked.co.cc and tried to redirect it to my main domain.
so example i created this subdomain: parked1.co.cc.maindomain.com
in the list of subdomains table, i have:
Subdomains: parked1
Root Domain: .co.cc.maindomain.com
but however it should be:
Subdomains: parked1.co.cc
Root Domain: .maindomain.com
how can i solve this? i just want to delete it now..
also for some reason my /cpanel and /webmail goes to my main hosting website url but not mine! so if i type www.maindomain.com/cpanel it goes to www.mainhosting.com:2093 etc!
Cpanel In Vps
Nov 30, 2007Where do you guys currently get your external vps cpanel licenses? Cheapest ive been able to find is $15
Also what type of resources does cpanel require to run in the vps as far as ram used, etc..
My provider can provide me with cpanel vps so i have to get it externally, but 15 per is a bit much i think.
Vps With CPanel
May 22, 2007I now have tried a number of VPS accounts with CPanel.
I have taken the 256mb burstable to 512mb.
I am only running a simple php mysql online game (AATraders.com), yet i always max out at the memory and the server crashes.
Even when there is no one online I have issues.
I get the feeling that VPS with Cpanel and anything less than 1 gb ram is not going to work.

Cpanel And RAM
Aug 5, 2007I’ve been reading several posts about cpanel vs. directadmin and the difference in RAM usage.
I understand that cpanel is a resource hog that uses more RAM... so here is my noob question...
How and when does this have an impact on my site visitors?
Meaning...
1. Does this ONLY have an impact on ME while I’m using the control panel? Or..
2. Does this impact my visitors ONLY if I’m running/using my control panel at that moment? Or...
3? Does this have an impact on my visitors all the time regardless of my control panel usage at the moment?
Cpanel
Apr 5, 2007I noticed there are a lot of different web tools in my cpanel. I want to add a feature to my Free Music Videos website so that visitors can post comments about the videos.
Is there a cpanel utility that will allow me to easily implement this type of functionality right on each video's page?

New VPS W/ Cpanel
Feb 11, 2007I just got a VPS account that has Cpanel and I have no idea how to add my domains to my account. I'm used to my old Cpanel that I had with my shared host that had a "Addon Domain" button to add new domains to the account and then the "File Manager" button to manage all the files. I don't see these anywhere on my Cpanel for my new VPS. I know this cpanel is different cause I have access to a lot more features but where do I start to move all my sites to my VPS?

Odd Cpanel
Jun 2, 2007this is really odd..
i have a vps, centos with cpanel/whm etc.
when i load up cpanel it all of a sudden gives hosting package as "undefined" and the domain shows up as "yourdomain.com".
also seeing this on the homepage of cpanel:
"[an error occurred while processing this directive] [an error occurred while processing this directive]"
additionally, when i load a cpanel which has an rvskin installed, the stylesheet is all messed up: text looks weird, formatting is all wrong.
any ideas what could be the issue? looks like some config files may be broken or corrupt, but any idea which ones?
