Treatment Of Explicit Content
Aug 4, 2008I am planning to develop an online role-playing game in which people play characters involved in intimate relationship with each other. The exact content of the game is not defined; it's a research project for me. It's possible that the game will be entirely text-based, or maybe it won't. I need a hosting (VPS/VDS) that will host the game itself plus all the needed stuff (development blog etc.)
I have general understanding of the current state of offers in VPS hosting market, however I'm totally unaware of hosting providers' position towards such explicit sites.
What can I expect from general hosting provider in regards to the nature of my project:
a) usual hosting provider doesn't mind explicit content
b) usual hosting provider doesn't allow explicit content, but I may find one that doesn't mind
c) usual hosting provider will never allow explicit content; I'll have to find a shady "pron" hosting provider
Does it depend if my site will or will not contain images of explicit nature?
Extremely Bad Service From Alphared.com
Apr 22, 2008Just a warning to everyone.
I ordered 5 servers from alphared.com, I spent an entire evening explaining to their sales person what I required.
In the end I decided on 4 Duo's and one P4. All to be connected with a Gigabit private Lan and to share 10Mbit premium bandwidth. I was promised it would take approx three days for this to be setup.
One week later I was met with an apology that the price quoted would unfortunately have to be tripled due to a mistake.
I paid $3,500 setup. Its now three weeks later and I have NO service.
I follow up every few days and am promised the service will be up soon.
STILL NO SERVICE!
Today I'm met with ANOTHER email saying it will be 10 days to allocate me 32 IP's. Not to mention the mess that every few days I'm asking how I want the servers setup.
I have missed my deadlines, my current provider is still billing me, my clients are moaning that I"m doing nothing about our current providers issues.
Are there any decent providers out there? or is finding someone who is competent and does what they say a pipedream?
And I guess I've lost $3,500 ... haven't I?

They don't appear for some time if I kill them (a day or more). But it repeats again and again. One day there were 8 similar processes in total in max which used all 4 cores at 100% (and even ssh console was extremely slow to do something there).
I think that somebody is trying to make a small attack of some sort but I need to check it first. I tried to look at apache logs but there were too many posting requests from different IPs and no dublicates for little period of time so I had no success.
Anyway, that script worked for us for 4 years already and we didn't have any problems with it even on our old single core P4 2.8 ghz.
way to make sure is this an attack of some sort or just this script doesn't work correctly on our new machine?
Are there any ways to get IPs of visitors who are running posting.php with CPU overloading?
Extremely High Bandwidth Server
May 1, 2008today i got a message from a client asking about hosting his video himself, catch is, he has a shitload of viewers, im looking at servers in the range of quad core (maybe dual quad), 8gig, 4 hdd raid10, gige uplink, however the kicker, depending on how out of whack my estimates are, 100 to 400mbit SUSTAINED upstream (spiking all the way to max'n that 'little' gige pipe)
Has anyone got suggestions on who i should even consider for this? I'm a bit dumbfounded myself as i'v never even thought about a server on this much sustained bandwidth before today.
60 Day Review - 3DGWEBHOSTING - Extremely Positive
Apr 10, 2008--An extremely positive review of 3DGWebHosting
We now have passed 60 days with 3dgwebhosting (3dgwebhosting.com) and what had started as a VPS only endeavor continues to expand based upon the incredible level of support and technical performance we are receiving.
If you would have asked me three months ago about 3dgwebhosting I would have been unable to respond...I did quite a bit of research when we decided to switch from a shared hosting offering with some large shared hosting providers to a VPS. I contacted close to a dozen providers and inquired regarding performance, packages, support, etc. and at the end of the day there was a level of comfort with 3DG that I did not have with the majority of other VPS Providers. Don't get me wrong...there were some shining stars in the bunch but something about 3dg (beyond the great pricing and flexibility) sold me on giving them a try.
Being a serial entrepreneur I have always been partial to working with smaller (at least those that felt smaller!) customer-centric firms for all of my support services from back office to technical. This was no exception. Performance is obviously critical in the technical space but I also view customer service and attentive vendors as critical factors in vendor selection.
Well the short of it is we have been on board with 3DG for over 60 days. Performance has been top notch and the level of customer support has been unmatched by any technical services provider I have used in the past. In addition, 3DG has become a strategic partner and has provided some great insight into how to globalize our technology and incorporate our clients’ needs into our technology platform (i.e. SharePoint). I truly did not expect to see this level of involvement on a consulting front and level of customization on a technology front from a hosting provider – a pleasant surprise! Kudos to David and the 3dg team. We have many sites on the VPS but our primary is glotegy.com.
If my business provides a level of service that is worthy of praise I always hope that my clients will speak their mind and help me spread the word about what I am trying to do. With that said I cannot recommend 3DG highly enough!
Since the inception of the VPS we have also put in place a dedicated server at 3DG that is running Office SharePoint Server and will be live with a hosted solution of Microsoft Dynamics 4.0 CRM with 3DG sometime next week.
Sorry for the long post but as you can probably tell I get pretty passionate about my business and those firms who help me with my global endeavors! To sum it up...finally...3DG is attentive, customer-centric, and a valued business partner.
Limestone - Extremely Slow Response
Dec 20, 2008Limestone's support is extremely slow. I just got a server with them to host VPSes, so I was inquiring about additional IPs in case I needed them.
Their first two responses were within 4-5 hours, which is bearable. However, yesterday, I actually needed to order more IPs and posted a new reply. I have yet to receive a reply after over 12 hours and my client has been left waiting to receive the additional IPs he ordered.
I haven't been with Limestone long, and I haven't had much other experience with their support, but I was unsure what else to do other than post this here and hopefully get a resolution.
I know their servers are unmanaged and pretty cheap, but I think they should still take the time to answer tickets in a decent amount of time.
Has anyone had similar experiences with Limestone?
Extremely High Incoming Traffic
Dec 2, 2007We've found out a abnormal usage of one of our servers, our RTG graphs shows:
Last 24h
IfInOctets: 30.5GB
MAX: 6.9MBits/s
AVG: 3.4Mbits/s
Cur: 4.7Mbits/s
And a strage traffic:
IfOutOctets: 42.5GB
MAX: 76.6MBits/s
AVG: 4.7Mbits/s
Cur: 600Kbits/s
We are running two websites on this server, and we looked at raw log apache, we've compilers disabled, we block most of outgoing / incoming packets on firewall, we ran chkrootkit, rkhunter and nothing was found. We checked for cronjobs, suspect files, netstat, but we can't see anything strange. We use the latest server software (apache 2.2.x), PHP 5.2.x, MySQL 4.1.x, we have most of the server optimized.
We are running iptraf now, and it seems normal:
„ Incoming rates: 85.8 kbytes/sec
„ Outgoing rates: 636.4 kbytes/sec
Anyone have an idea? And some way to properly monitor incoming traffic? I'm looking to find how/where is the source of this traffic.
Extremely Slow Software RAID
Sep 18, 2007I installed CentOS 5.0 and I configured it with software RAID 1, two disks - one IDE 160 GB and one SATA 40 GB.
Here is the setup of the disks:
RAID:
~40 GB RAID 1 md0 ext3
~500 MB RAID 1 md1 swap
Disk1:
~40 gb software raid md0
~500 mb software raid md1
Disk 2:
~40 gb software raid md0
~500 mb software raid md1
After the installation I noticed that the server was very slow so I did a performace test on disk 2, here is the result:
hdparm -tT /dev/hdd first gave me:
Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 3.52 seconds = 1.70 MB/sec
Timing cached reads: 488 MB in 6.92 seconds = 70.57 MB/sec
then gave me:
Timing cached reads: 392 MB in 2.01 seconds = 195.01 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 2 MB in 3.62 seconds = 566.16 kB/sec
So I assumed something was wrong with the disk and replaced it with an 80 GB IDE disk (same setup as before) and got the following results:
hdparm -tT /dev/hdd:
Timing cached reads: 4 MB in 4.69 seconds = 872.73 kB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 3.72 seconds = 1.61 MB/sec
It feels highly unlikely that there is something wrong with both of the IDE disks. So what can be the problem? Can you think of anything?
Dedicatednow - Extremely Confusing Billing Areas
Jun 3, 2008Any Dedicatednow.com customers here? Where do you pay your bills?
I got an invoice but there are about 3 different areas for logging in it seems and I can only log into one of them. But that area does not have an invoice...
Here are the 3 different possible areas.
[url]
[url]
[url]
Which the heck is the correct area for all your billing, so I can contact them for my login? I have been paying last 2-3 months but I cannot remember how on earth I paid. I also don't know how to contact them except their technical support which is support@.
I looked at their initial welcome emails which also don't provide much information, a billing info directs me to the pwebtech website which is just ubersmith - and it looks out of date, I have 2 servers with them but only 1 appear and the latest invoice that was email does not appear nor its server.
Decent Ping But Extremely Slow Download Speed
Jul 28, 2008I have just gotten a new server and the ping results were pretty fine. However, when it comes to the download speed its horrible. What could be the issue?
View 10 Replies View RelatedDedicated Or Clustered? Which One Is Better For Extremely High Traffic Sites
Apr 24, 2008hosting 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)
Disk Writes Extremely Slow On SATA RAID
Jan 10, 2008I'm running into a problem with a relatively new (2 months old) server. I have just a few accounts on it, and I'm already noticing unusual loads, for the... load. After some benchmarking with bonnie++ (and plain old "dd") there is clearly a problem.
Version 1.03b ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random-
-Per Chr- --Block-- -Rewrite- -Per Chr- --Block-- --Seeks--
Machine Size K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP /sec %CP
SERVER NAME 2G 9096 16 7725 2 2543 0 20609 32 621627 55 +++++ +++
Isn't a write-speed over 7MB/s reasonable to expect? Also look at the low CPU times...
Anyway running the same test on a similar but older AND busier server showed much better results than this. In fact dd'ing a 1GB file from /dev/zero "finished" in about 10 seconds but then pegged the server at 99% iowait (wa) for a full three minutes (until done being written from cache I assume), bringing load to 15.00
That's all the info I have so far... the data center just replaced the card (which gave no errors) with no effect. Running these benchmark tests is about the extend of my hardware experience.
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: API Requests Suddenly Extremely Slow
May 4, 2015In the last few days the responses from Plesk's XML API have been extremely slow. It's now taking an average of 45 seconds to handle an XML API request where it used to be more around 5 seconds. What would cause that? What service handles these requests on the server so I can try rebooting it?

Dec 20, 2007I've been having trouble with my VPS for a while now. In the QoS alerts page in Virtuozzo it seems to be a problem with numtcpsock and tcprcvbuf, mainly numtcpsock.
Copy these into the browser:
i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/gnatfish/qosnumtcpsock2.jpg
And when i run cat /proc/user_beancounters:
i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/gnatfish/beancounters2.jpg
This line is particularly scary:
numtcpsock 164 164 166 166 7321
What do i need to do, to get the website running again? It's only one site on the vps a proxy. So i thought a vps would be able to handle one proxy.
