Facebook App Hosting - Softlayer
Dec 16, 2008
Would anyone be able to "ping apps.facebook.com" for me from their Softlayer dedicated server?
I am specifically looking for ping times for Softlayer's 3 data centers (Seattle, Texas, DC). I tried getting this information from Softlayer's web sales, but they were rude and told me I should ask their customers for these numbers. Kind of strange considering I'm looking to spend a lot on a cluster of server's for my Facebook application.
What is everyone else using to host their Facebook applications?

I'm currently hosting with softlayer and running the following:
4 super fast http servers on a load balancer with 1000 connections (costs a fair amount) - apache 2.0
1 fast mysql server (the server is starting to struggle but i'm concerned about expanding this because clustering mysql is very complicated in my situation) - mysql 5.0
I was looking at amazon s3 and it said it would only cost me $2,500 for my needs which is not only considerably cheaper but i think theirs would be even faster than softlayers with their network and the fact that there wouldn't be hundreds of mysql connections per second as there is now.
Money is not really an issue, I'm more concerned about flexibility and in case i get a ddos attack that i can handle it since softlayer doesn't provide ddos protection (cisco guard) on load balanced IPs and all IP requests to the server show as the load balancer IP.

when I type in www.facebook.com or www.myspace.com I'm taken to the main page but millions of people do the same thing every day.
I have basic understanding of DNS but only for single servers and small websites. I don't know how these organizations link of the necessary servers so that their website is available to all.

I have a really weird problem with using facebook authentication (OAuth 2.0) for a node.js driven website. I am using passport.js as authentication middleware.
I am running the express.js server behind an apache using the following rewrite rules (my .htaccess file):
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =mydomain.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://localhost:62666/$1 [QSA,P]
The weird thing is, i can login via my facebook account, my client can't. It yields an internal server error with no error_logs appearing.
On my old server I solved this problem by increasing the buffer size of ngnix (which seems odd), so I figured it has to be a http-server issue. The use of nginx is absolutely no option on my new platform, nor is increasing the buffer size. I'm really kind of lost here.

I purchased a Host license.Major customers in China. There is a facebook link in the panel.But China does not allow access facebook. This leads to a very slow access speed! Can I remove this link? If so, how to remove?

My clients in LA - those on AT&T and Time Warner in paticular - are having bad download speeds from my server with Softlayer. Anyone else having similar trouble? Clients who normally get 500-700kb/s down are getting < 50 kb/s down, even early in the morning when the total traffic on my 100mbps port is under 1.5mbps.
Basically, east coast is fine, and anyone with a T1 in LA is fine as well - it's just DSL and Cable modems in LA that are screwed up. In fact, one of our are clients is using Apple Remote Desktop to connect to a remote client with a T1; it's faster to through Time Warner, then VPN to Verizon, and then connect Softlayer and back again than to go directly from Time Warner to Softlayer, which is really weird.

I was thinking of buying a new server from SoftLayer When this company called WebNX.com happened to catch my attention.
I did a search of WHT but could not find much about WebNX. I also went to their site (but not much info is published there like SLAs, support fee etc etc...
However, the custom quite they sent me sounds quite reasonable compared to softlayer.
Anyone who can share experience of hosting with webnx? or has more info webnx.com and can share their views will be nice.

With Burst.net reseller - I get it for $180
So is paying $44 more and going with softlayer worth? or is Burst network as good as softlayer?

For those who are still under the softlayer hacker abuse please note you will need to re-load your server. We got hit a 2nd time after thinking everything was clean. Anyhow, for those who got hit again, my team and another from WHT - forgot who made the original clean.php script...
anyhow, here is a tool to clean all the data for all of your users:Copy fixit.pl and clean4.php to a directory. IE: /home/yourusername
Change username "changeme" in fixit.pl to the username where clean4.php is located
execute fixit.pl: IE: perl fixit.pl. If you want to test this on one user uncomment the die statement. When you are ready to do the entire server comment the die statement.
fixit.pl (perl script) Author: Robert Saylor
#!/usr/bin/perl$config{'basepath'} .....

We have being Softlayer for few month now since around 09/04/2008.
We got the server at first for high bandwith client until he could get is server upgrade completed as he colo's is server elsewhere need a temp solution we no longer host is site but still kept server for other clients after all SL did for us we would never think of leaving.
We deployed site and then we ran into problems server seemed become unresponsive after a few hours.
We explained this to SL and did chasis swap and got us back online but problem remained and did not charge for os reload or chasis and even upgrade connection to make sure we not bottlenecks stoping from serving content.
After they started looking apache and using information for original server config had at other datacenter and found solutions that solved issues.
Billing dept and support dept as being of great assistance when needed them.
Overall we very pleased with SL and would not look elsewhere for quality provider and pricing for what we are getting is very reasonable.

As those who read my previous thread (or helped me on it -- thank you!) know, I've been looking at upgrading to a new server at the Planet. I've been very happy with the service at the Planet. I ended up with a quote on a Xeon 3040/2 GB of RAM/2x 250 GB hard disks/RHEL 5/10 usable IPs/cPanel+Fantastico and the Planet's standard "built in support" monitoring, escalation procedure, automated OS updates, etc. for $174/month and no setup.
That sounds decent enough, but I keep reading this forum and seeing good things about SoftLayer over and above the Planet. Should I consider moving? Anyone care to say what is better about SoftLayer? Anyone know of any cons to moving? I was inclined not to really shop around since the Planet has been good, but I don't want to be foolish and I by the sounds of some of those reviewing them, it sounds like SoftLayer's support is worth switching for.

I signed up for SoftLayer again finally today. But my luck with them doesn't seem good.
I opted for Washington since it seemed a good contrasting location to the servers in texas.
I'm trying to rsync-over about 700GB of data from 2 servers located in Houston TX, ThePlanet.
My SoftLayer server has a 100mbps port, same with the source servers.
It's been at least 6-7 hours since I started the rsync commands. But since then it has only transferred a measly 35GB. Perhaps I'm not doing the maths so great here, but isn't this quite a poor transfer rate?
I wondered if any of you have a server at Washington SL, and had any similar problems with transfer speed in general. Should I have gone for Seattle instead?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having dedicated servers from each of these two?
I understand that LW's advantage should be that they are managed, and SL's that they are somewhat cheaper.
But what else is there that differs these two?

Did some quick research and it seems as though MidPhase and SIngleHop share office space, and the MidPhase network is what SIngleHop appears to run on.
Am I wrong on either of these? Because SingleHop's network, at least from here, is quite fast.
My question is whether MidPhase.com stuff gets hosted in SingleHop's DC or is it in SoftLayer's DCs? Both are great, but SL isn't in Chicago...and SIngleHop is.
If MidPhase shared/dedi/PS isn't in SingleHop's DC, what's a good host for shared/VPS that is? Yes, SoftLayer is awesome, especially with ~25 ms pings from here bd. 35 to SingleHop...but just researching here...
