My mickey mouse company just bought a new server recently. However, all our email send from the new server went to our client's junk mail. Is there a solutions to this? How to prevent going to people's junk mail?
View 4 RepliesI recently got my hands on a few unmanaged VPS to play around with and learn how to work on them (eventually plan on going dedicated, so this is a preparation for that). I know the basics of working on Linux via command line, but beyond that I'm clueless. Does anyone know of any good guides for setting up and managing a LAMP environment on a VPS?
I'm mostly interested in CentOS and Debian.
I can find guides specifically for 1 or 2 things, but so far the only useful (complete) guide I've found is the one here. I'm not sure if that's still up to date on todays standards as it was written 2 years ago?
Things I'm looking for:
- Installing and setting up a LAMP environment
- Jailing SSH
- User/Group management
- Firewall setup / security hardening (I've read the thread in VPS tutorials as well as the one in Technical and Security Tutorials about securing your hosting company)
2 more questions...
1) Wondering what would be better... webmin or ispconfig? From what I understand webmin is more OS oriented and allows easy configuration of various parts of the OS while ispconfig is more hosting oriented? I take it running both at the same time is not recommended/needed?
2) Still not entirely sure what OS to choose. In my VPS atm I have the following available (along with the likes of Ubuntu, Gentoo and SuSE but I think the list bellow is what I should use). Would love if someone could list some advantages/disadvantages of each.
- centos-5-i386-afull
- centos-5-i386-hostinabox571
- debian-3.1-i386-minimal
- debian-4.0-i386-minimal
Appreciate any input.
Thanks for reading.
any VPS with management provided?
i only used share hosting before, with knowledge in cpanel
however, i am afraid i cannot handle with VPS.
Hence, i would like to ask any VPS with managment or support provided?
my visitor mainly from hongkong, taiwan, USA and china.
My buget is around 30 US per month.
How do i go about setting up a DNS zone using WHM for my new dedicated server? Also, what does record type mean (as in: A, A6, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, TXT, WRK)?
If someone can point me to a good tutorial or reference so that i can get my server up and running with multiple domains, I'd appreciate it.
We run around 300 domains for our clients; in the past we've believed that it was better to outsource DNS hosting, we've used a few different local companies but now we're getting to the stage that I'd like to consolidate all the records to one company.
Does anyone have any reccomendations for ultra reliable, easy to manage? Or is it better to put a dedicated machine in and run our own service?
I've got a few domains with Zoneedit, but I want to way-up some alternatives, I don't think the zoneedit admin is particularly user friendly and it's quite expensive $1000+ a year for what we need.
I'd like to know your opinions about various VPS management systems.
What is the best VPS management system?
1. Virtuozzo
2. VDSmanager
3. HyperVM
4. SolusVM
webinterface or windows app to help manage and compile alter apache/php configs, and install apache modules ext.
Im not a linux tech savy person. So im looking for something to go along with my plesk control panel to help with things that plesk cant do.
I have a vps using centos5 and plesh 9.2.1
i have few dedi servers from one Us company, i am currently using their DNS service, we are into small level hosting, i want to run my own DNS, is it necessary to run a separate server for DNS?
Actually how the hosting companies do the name server pointing, for an example if i am buying a server and want to host a few domains in that server, what normally we do is we will change the name server to that companies name server
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
my question is if i am pointing my domains name server to the name server
ns1.companydomain.com
ns2.companydomain.com
how that company points the domain to my server for an example its ip is 72.xx.52.xx i am bit confused in this.
Also i have a doubt how they are creating this for n number of domains?
We are working on our pci certification ( fun times right? ) and i was wondering what other people do for server management in the dmz. Few things we are looking at listed below. We will be doing cisco zbfw for firewalling and using NAT.
#1
Servers have 2 nics, 2 ips, gateway ect. One of the networks would be considered a "management vlan/network". Other network would be for all other traffic, including natting to the internet, and traffic to the "internal" zone but locking down traffic to source,destination, and protocol level.
On windows you really on have 1 true default gateway, and because windows doesnt just send traffic out the interface it came in, but looks at the routing table, some network routing issues popped up.
#2
Use only 1 nic/vlan/ip/gateway. Lock down traffic to source,destination, and protocol level for dmz to "internal" traffic and do an "inspect" statement to allow all necessary traffic back in and drop everything else. "Internal" to dmz would just be an inspect all because this traffic wouldnt need to be firewalled so management traffic would work just fine.
Does anyone know of any software applications available of which would allow staff/employees to log into SSH while actively logging all input and prohibiting certain commands from being run?
A list of applicable servers to log into would be amazing as well, although that might be reaching too far.
I have 4 ip addresses.
74.63.67.146 - my main server. I have also configured my main domain to "own" this IP address and have installed an SSL cert. The domain and the cert work correctly but when you type in the IP address in, it shows "Apache is functioning normally".
74.63.67.147 - this is owned by a client. Same thing happens as above except that the domain name and the IP address point to the Apache message.
74.63.67.148 - this is the shared IP. Everything works correctly.
74.63.67.149 - this is another owned IP and it works correctly.
The only thing that is different from 146, 147
I just want to know what is the best way to run a hosting solution remotely. I.E have OS re-installed without having someone to do this for us in the DC for example?
I've heard KVM over IP but unsure to where that would lead us.
Anyone know of any service that will provide 24/7 support for colocation servers I own?
By support I mean regular system updates, monitoring server stability, and be available 24/7 if problems were to occur.
I plan to colo with steadfast networks.
So far I had only dealt with shared hosting. Now I think it is high time to move to a VPS server. But before I migrate, I want learn how to manage a VPS server. Can anyone plz tell me how I can setup a VPS on my system, so that I can learn how to work with it.

Anyone used it? One of my friends showed me it, looks pretty neat actually.
1-On a VPS if I have 128 RAM guaranteed and 512 Burst, when I do top I can see the 471856k, it means at that moment I can use 471856k RAM, or this memory show is something I cant trust?
2- If I have 128 guaranteed and for some reason a a process tries to eat more than that(like 1 gig for exaple) it will be not allowed? Do I have to pay anything for that leak? DO the leak affects the ENtire host?
I believe I kno all those answer but is better to double check them....
file/folder management system where I can upload files thought the system of FTP program and setup accounts that can access that folder with various permissions.
The goal is to be able to create any amount of folders and sub folders and assign unlimited amount of users to individual folders with permissions to upload (with or without over-right privileges), and download files in the folder they have access to.
I am open to using a third party, if Yahoo! or some similar file hosting company offers such a service.
Does anyone know of any good IP management software that will handle subnets and all?
I want to be able to add a range and then control what is taken and not and etc.
We saw the special offer of ThePlanet here on banner advertisement and tried to get a special promo but since the last 3 days, I am running after them and every sales person is telling something different about promo and my deal even it's confirmed by management...
View 8 Replies View RelatedJust curious if there are any decent control panels to manage Hyper-V VPS containers besides DotNetPanel...
I've been trying to find a viable alternative, but I am striking out on my search.
I just cannot seem to understand why DotNetPanel is so expensive, $70/month for the enterprise edition, plus $50/month for 10 VPS containers.
Best management with Lots of bandwidth...
I am going to be starting a filehosting site soon and i need a dedicated server fully managed one. With that i also need alot of bandwidth.
Budget: $150-200
I was looking at [url]but didnt like it much.
I can't get the following - Full WHOIS Management.
How can it be?
I wondered which Content Management System (CMS) is the best for a website? I read that there are many to choose from, examples are Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla etc. Which CMS is more SEO Optimised?
Th website I will be setting up will be of the same genre as the following website startutor.sg. Therefore, I am wondering what CMS to use.
I thought of designing the website using AI or PSD and asked someone to code them (not sure of the terminology used) for me as I don't know anything about CSS, HTML etc.
If you are deploying PHP and MySQL along with a site/application, how do you do it? Do you work with the individual components, or do you lean towards ready-made packages?
I use WAMP to develop my applications, and I find it a very simple yet powerful tool for deploying Apache, MySQL and PHP to Windows platforms. I've been looking at the Zend Server today too, which strikes me as very interesting, especially the full version.
I'm investigating quick and easy web hosts for our neighborhood web site. We don't need anything fancy, but the most important feature would be where (once I set up the site) simpletons like the board members can upload new documents, articles, contact info, etc.
Kind of like a SharePoint site where you don't need a web master to make changes (I have better things to do...).
Does any body recommend we3cares server management services?
I need a very simple server management and hardening job and dont want to pay much. (not for a hosting company)
I'm not talking about weak sauce companies that treat your server like any other server and apply settings base a file they got saved on their desktop.
platinum server management- been there done that total server solutions - been there done that people who send me PM's - been there done that
Maybe I'm underestimating the importance of server management, but I can't see how it is worth it to pay $300 per month for a server that can be built for $700 with the co-location costing about $100 per month.
So, I'm thinking that I can build a server or just buy a server that was considered excellent 2 years ago off of Ebay for about $700 or maybe less. From there, I simply need to find a $100 per month co-location hosting place and a freelance server dude to keep the thing updated for me and work out problems if they actually come up.
So with that said, where is a good place to find a freelance server manager?
Does anyone know of any good reliable companies that can manage our servers remotely? It could even just be 1 server admin, however looking for a company with a good rep.
Searched on Google but wasn't able to find what I was looking for. Maybe searching the wrong keywords.
I know about Platinum - I was wondering if anyone had any specific recommendations for server management services.

We are currently using AIM. But, we have planned to install any software which works like AIM but it should be controlled by us.
Only, we can add or remove users. Only, we can see the chats done. To be frank, I need a software like AIM installed on a server which should be controlled by me.
