Exim And My Current Host
Aug 27, 2007
I have clients that I host that can't email certain domains which I know do exist.
The support people are telling me that the domain name doesn't resolve, yet the MX records and everything are correct for the particular domain that these people are either sending email to or receiving email from.
For example:
If a user I host sends and email to user@domainx.com ... they receive one of two messages:
retry timeout exceeded
or
retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period
If user@domainx.com sends and email to anyone that host, they receive a bounce back with a message saying that mail delivery was delayed for xx hours and will try for up to 5 days. It will eventually fail.
domainx.com is perhaps one of the largest ISPs in Canada and my host is telling me that everything is working OK because they can send / receive mail from gmail to my customers.

I'm configuring a website for a client who has moved their web hosting to downtownhost, but is keeping their email hosting with their current provider. They do not want to configure an MX entry on DTH to autoforward email back to their current provider because they don't want their email to pass through DTH.
In order to do this, do I keep the nameserver entries on the current provider the same, and configure an http redirect to point to DTH? Or is there something else I should configure on the current provider?

I've currently got a friend hosting me but I'm paying £5 ($10) per month ($120 per year) which is quite expensive for what I need.
I currently have two accounts- one personal FTP / Email and one shop where I'm selling CDs. So I need FTP / Email / and MySQL.
I'm winding down the CD store so I rarely get sales now, and I don't require much storage (couple of GB) or very much transfer at all.
Can anyone recommend a good host to me? I'm just looking for something reliable, the less expensive the better (Even free, if that's possible.)
I've been looking at Amazon's web services. Does anyone know if they're suitable for what I want? Their rates seem excellent.

I was asked earlier today by one of the tech people at the university that I go to if I knew of any hosts that would offer some space/bw/access for a website that already exists. From what I was told, the host would not be the primary server for the website, so it would not require very much bandwidth, and the entirety of the website is only 300MB, so space isn't really an issue either (As most hosts now a days offer 1GB+). The catch is that they were planning on using rsync to update the mirror host, with the latest content from the live website, every 3 hours or so. Preferably, they want to spend as little money as possible on this and not buy a dedicated server or VPS somewhere, as that would be very costly.
So, does anyone here know of a host that would offer such a thing and allow SSH access to setup the rsync?

Is this some thing I should worry about?
[url]
Thats the server I am on and the CPU Graph.
Since Sunday the CPU has been really high. Sunday was the worst though as my site was unavailable by some members and slow by others. I did open a support ticket and was told some one was doing a back up and after it was done things would go back to normal.
Well Monday though today the site was fine and running fast again but the cpu is still pretty high.

That is what it says on the bottom of my forum.
I am not sure if I should contact them again or just let it go since the site is loading fine.

I have been researching i3d.net as a dedicated provider.
I have searched the archives and in order to take a final decision I would like to kindly ask some current clients and even past clients of i3d.net to share some insight on the quality of this provider and it's network.

I know there have been some up-and-down reviews for ModVPS, but I was wondering if there were any current reviews out there.
We don't have a ton of money to spend, and their basic package adds some things we really need (cPanel/WHM, ClientExec, Enom reseller account).

I've been happily hosted in Equinix Ashburn for over a year now, so I haven't been looking into price changes over the past months. However, my colo provider suddenly decided to raise prices by 20% on me, saying that space and bandwidth has become scarce over the past year and their own cost went up by 75%. So they are asking me to lock the new hiked price by signing a new contract, otherwise I won't be able to get such offer from them or any other provider in that location.
Before signing anything, I'm trying to get a feel of the current prices. I see a lot of ads in here for same bw and space, but I'm sure there are variations in the level of service they provide, depending on the colo company, location, bw providers, package type, etc... So, just as crude estimate, can you please tell in general whether prices/costs has went up or down or stayed the same since last year, and by how much?
And if someone has experience with Equinix/Ashburn, what would be a reasonable price for a dedicated 100Mbps/4U colocation with a quality bandwidth provider?

I am having issues in receieving emails. For some reason, the rbl lists I had setup are causing the server to reject emails (retry - timeout). So, I need to take this rbl list completely. How can I do that? exim.conf is locked and using the advanced editor is no fun even though I tried it putting the dnslists without the rbl causing the problem.

I have been with IGSoBe for a little over 2 months now, going on 3. And the rates seemed great. I have resold a few servers for them to clients, and everything seemed okay. The server setup times exceeded the 72 hour maximum. I have a C class of IP addresses with them which were supposed to take 7 days MAXIMUM, I was told in the *WORST* case scenario. I think I waited 3 - 5 weeks for the C class which had me at a standstill with VPS sales. Long setup times had a few clients back out. Have had a few comments about slow network in that it isn't blazing fast like some premium providers, although I haven't had a problem myself.
Each month goes by and there's a downtime about this, or a downtime about that. Well this month it has been smooth sailing, I thought all the problems must have been ironed out, and to my dismay come the 15th, the DAY AFTER paying the invoice for the server, BAM the server is offline. IGSoBe main website still up, as well as client servers so I know its not a mass issue. So I open a support ticket on the 15th. It is now the 17th and no reply to the support ticket. Earlier this afternoon I finally emailed the owner John directly and have still not got any response or acknowledgement. John is the only one that can enter the datacenter suite that he colocates in, so contacting him, or him being notified is important.
So going on 72 hours of downtime, no response or support from the provider, I am 100% sure no matter what John could offer me there's just no way I am staying with IGSoBe any longer than I have to. I just paid the invoice, so I am stuck for the rest of the month as all the income went towards the invoices. (One invoice for IP addresses, the other on a different day for the server). Dare I file a paypal dispute? My concern is also my clients data, about 60 VPS' total, and the WHMCS client database which I do not have a recent backup locally (I know better now to keep a backup of the most important of all important data and keep it in a safe place off-site!). If I file a dispute, it is unlikely I will see any of that data again. As if cubichost.org needs any more bad reputation right?
If you do a quick search here on WHT for igsobe you will first notice plenty of complaints.
So this is the deal with IGS:
John, the man with the plan is the sole proprietor (as of earlier this year, I know IGSOBE wasn't a registered LLC in the state of FL as the website might insinuate), he is the only one that physically manages the servers, transiting from his home to the suite he leases in the fibermedia datacenter in the carrier neutral facility in Miami FL. He used to, in the past, transit to and from the datacenter 2 times a day to set up servers, handle reboots, OS reloads, and that sort of thing. Recently, we had a client with a pentium 4 who needed a root password reset, this was on the 7th of this month, it is now the 17th and the password has still not been reset. I am in fear of losing this client because of this which would not help in our hopes to grow and succeed as a provider. I also have admin access in WHMCS at IGSOBE as a sales agent, and have noticed no one else logs in anymore, ESPECIALLY not John. Also, no one is hardly on LiveZilla chat or in IRC anymore.
I hope all goes well for John, I hope he can pull his act together and get IGSoBe back to working order. I would stay loyal but this is not the first time this has happened and I have to go. I have to make a good name for cubichost. I would suggest for the present time though, to stay away from igs!
So by the 7th of next month, hopefully earlier though I plan to make a move to BURST.NET which will hopefully go well I hear great things about them. Only a few bad things, mostly from > 1 year ago.

both concerns with programming,hosting and domain as well.
Have we had any solution for a website with multi hosting? I mean how to prevent it from being down by transfering it to another host. I know that it is about A record. If my site down, i should immediately change A record point to another IP of a backup server. However, it still takes time.

Does anyone know of a tool (I've seen it before but forgot the name) which is a bar like 100x30 in pixel and when you click it, a box popups allowing you to select facebook, orkut, myspace, wordpress, etc etc, and you can blog the current site url you are surfing?

I currently use [url] but I have had so much downtime and errors, just last night I had to login because sql was down it seems, so I try to login cpanel, and I get the annoying cpanel key error so I went to login via ssh to fix it with the command, and I can't login ssh because there is a centos bug with a pty error. ( Which steadcom does notate in a kb article but I would think the more intelligent thing to do if you know there is a bug is to go fix everyone who has centos bug to avoid the unneeded extra support tickets asking to fix the bug in the first place not too mention customer frustration.
So after that I thought ok i'll login directly to the vps hypervm and do a reboot to see if I can do that before submitting a ticket. I login and it says that I can't because the slave is upgrading. Ugh... so now my site has been down for almost 9 hours and so I send in a ticket and they said the centos bug is fixed and WHM is working again, but it isn't I can't connect at all, this + the ddos steadcom received and loads ticket number 15... in the last few months has put me over the edge.
So I am looking for a new home for my two ipb boards and one phpbb board.
I currently pay around $95 USD a month for my plan.
Must haves are WHM/Cpanel, and the ability to login and reboot the vps,
managed would be nice as well.
Current Disk Space is 60gb ( Don't really need that much but it doesn't hurt )
Bandwidth was 1500gb, but I used a coupon on WHT forum and now have 3000
I don't use it all but it's nice...
Only need 1 ip address.
SSH Access yes please.
Also my current ram is 1024, burstable 2gigs. I would like to keep something comparable.

I have had 2 drives fail on me in 2 weeks, and had to completely redo my server's configuration and security.
I would like to tell my tech to make an image of the current server, just so that the firewall and settings are all saved, and can be restored if this happpens again.
How should I go about doing this, and what can I tell my tech to do so that he does this in the best, most efficient way?
I have 2 live websites on there now (not an insane amountt of traffic), so I am assuming the sites current state will be in the image, which I don't mind, as I can just restore a recent site backup if the site happens to go down again.
Please let me know your thoughts!
( i am assuming i should try to delete as much junk off of the server as possible to make the image smaller)

I'm following the guides in programming OOP+PEAR from these 2 books:
[url]
So far things seems to work on my own Desktop LAMP. But the question is will my hours of PHP 5 coding work on my current webhost One.com?
I'm a newbie so I haven't fully understood how to utilize PEAR yet but when chatting with One.com's Live support and emailing them. They tell me this.
- That they support both PHP 4 and PHP 5.
- That they support PEAR for PHP 4 but not PHP 5.
- That they don't know when they will install PEAR support for PHP 5.
How should I interpret this information? Do I just keep working on the PHP 5 codes like the book instructs and wait until they install PEAR for PHP 5. Or should I switch webhost as soon as possible?

How can I install my PLESK 11.5 BACK with Current AutoInstall? Is there anyway to have an option to install 11.5 in the Installation Selection?

This is my review of a VPS i bought from the company FSCKVPS.com.
Product: openVZ - 1GB ram guaranteed
Duration: approx. 6mths.
When i first got the VPS, i was quite satisfied with the quality of the VPS, the ressources worked and while the bandwidth speed was less than the the dedicated server i came from, it was sufficient for what i needed. I was even impressed with the selection of different images that i could load onto the VPS with very little work.
Then came the hack.... i'm sure we've all heard a lot of what happened and so forth, so i'm not going to go into details about this here.
I decided early on that i would see what happened and most likely stick with them if my data was intact (which it was).
After the hack i frequently had issues with it suddenly becomming inaccessible, FSCKVPS was usually pretty quick in getting it back up and running, stating it was the firewall giving trouble, so they had disabled it and the second time flushed the firewall rules.
Now i'm going to have to admit i don't know enough to say that I myself wasn't the cause of this somehow, but i do doubt it since i hadn't done any major changes to my VPS after that other than regulary updating the Debian linux on it.
Now recently i chose to cancel the VPS primarily because i didn't need the VPS anymore, i was the only user of the sites it hosted, so i chose to host the site locally on my own LAN instead.
After this, i began to consider why had the VPS been behaving so poorly after the hack, and i remember a mail from VAServe just after the hack saying they would provision all customers with a standard profile and would later fix the actual products. I began to wonder what if they hadn't done what they promised? (i could not find the actual mail of this, so that's my interpretation of it, in a ticket rus said that they had reccomended that users check their ressource allocations)
Today another user here, posted a link to a script that could be used to check the ressources, it can be found on this forum in a thread named "Guarantied memory on OpenVZ" (sry can't link with low post count).
What i found was that i was only getting 256MB RAM guaranteed and 512MB RAM burst.
So my reccomendation to any VAServe user reading this, try this script or check the beancounter file yourself if you know how to understand it's output, so you make sure you get what you pay for.
To be fair to VAServe, i have always received quick response time for the tickets i opened and up until recently all tickets have been responded in a reasonably competent way(although i'm slightly dissapointed in the support people didn't check the ressources themselves at the same time).
The things i liked about FSCKVPS:
Decent prices for their plans
Quick response time on tickets, and reasonably good reply (from my needs atleast)
Before the hack: the product quality
Accountability, rus makes a point in keeping a positive profile on this forum, which is something i atleast think shows that they're willing to take on critique if there was any.
The fact that they have a plan to improve their product (KVM and solusVM for openVZ)
What i disliked about FSCKVPS(all related to post-hack issues):
The fact that they didn't check the ressources of each VPS themselves, rather trusting users to complaint about it (which is a somewhat difficult thing to do, since the OpenVZ beancounter file is not straighforward to interpret).
The high variation in the quality of response to your tickets and the fact that when you get a poor answer they tend to only answer one of your questions if you have more than one. (though from what i read in another thread here,this could be because VAServe recently took up new staff, so should hopefully get better. Althoughi would like to stress from my own experience working with tech support, people who take shortcuts in supporting customers tend to keep doing so after they've gotten a better knowledge of their jobs)
Their myriads of websites, for FSCKVPS hosted VPS' atleast you use two sites, a VAServ.com one for support and a fsckvps.com one for billing, that's confusing and far from being trust inspiring in my opinion.
The [url]website was not updated with the fact that the hyperVM/LXADMIN panel wasn't accessible after the hack, which one would assume is a natural thing.
My own thoughts about FSCKVPS/VAServ:
They where pretty good before the hack, i'm sure once they get their new support staff trained, their product & websites more streamlined it will get better.
But right now as it stands i can't reccomend getting a VPS from them, things are too much of a mess.
They mentioned that with the implementation of SolusVM panel(which has the potential to decrease the amount of tickets they get in(reboot VPS etc.) they hope to be able to improve the quality of their replies to their customers through having more time for each answer, i hope this is true and with the implementation of KVM virtualization later on, the future is looking good.
So if i ever happen to need a VPS again, i might give them a try again, but it will definitely not been within the next 6months or so, and atleast a reasonable time after they've deployed KVM.
VAServe users don't forget to check your ressources if you haven't already!

In the webhosting offers section (vps hosting), both Knownhost and PowerVPS are running deals.
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=104
The PowerVPS deal seem MUCH better in terms of cost, and memory, and bandwidth.
I've read through several posts here on the board about each company. From what I've read, Knownhost is GREAT! The stuff I've been reading about PowerVPS says that things have not been that great in the recent past for them.
I'm writing now only to get opinions and comments about the deals they're offering right now and which you think would be a better choice.
