Q. I've a dedicated server and I'd like to find out my servers details [CPU, RAM, HDD] etc. How?
Q. My server comes with two HDDs. How do I access them through the WHM or cPanel?
I was wondering how you guys go about finding a host?
Where do you do your research?
What forums do you use?
What else do you do in your process before finding a web host?
Do you subscribe to newsletters or web host magazines?
Im trying to find the most reliable webhoster on the wed. Im looking to start a business where i can offer regular hosting as well as reseller accounts. Im looking for a good server with a low price.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a web blog that shows promise of growing pretty big soon! This is a vbulletin whith chatbox and arcade games. The forum is for gamers and game modification talk. I want to keep my features such as in forum mp3 player for streaming music. I host no files everything is linked from outside sources. Even photos are linked from photo hosts. I forsee about 20-30 members on at all time browsing and chatting in chatbox. Playing in the online arcade!
I have no idea how much bandwidth all this will use up. I do know that 20-40 gig of space should be quite enough but as always I want all I can get. As far as bandwidth I have no idea what all those features will eat up.
I have looked at fatcow.com and talked to them they said their unlimited is this 300gig space 3000 gig bandwidth and they do not keep up with msql databases. I looked on BBB and they have an A+ record if compared to hostgator they have unsatifatory! The only problem is they are yearly contract only. I do not trust this! I also have to let them re-bill me at end of year and this gives them access to my account. The payment options are check,paybal, or credit.
So is there a way to find out which host a particular site is using? For example, which company is hosting this site?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI had asked for some help awhile ago and recieved some great advice. Unfortunately, the company I work for decided not to move at that time (between deciding to give the host more chance and also becuase we were all dreading another swich over. However, we are now ready to move.
We are currently on shared hosting and I belive VPS is the best option for us right niw (in this stage of our growth).
What I need is one that is fully managed and then some. I need someone that will provide the same type of support you get with shared hosting - meaning I can even come to them when suddenly we have an e-mail issue for example. And for things tht they don't do, at least have the patience to point me in the right direction, help me know what I need to do. I can handle the admin functions of a shared hosting site... but am leery of doing to much more without guidence...
Another thing I am looking for is someone that we can grow with seemlessly - even if it ends up resulting in going to a fully manged deciated server. With any growth, I do want want downtime or having to change DNS (that always causes us problems). I want someone we ca be with for years, allows us to grow, and is reliable/dependable. I really hate switching hosts!
What we need/our set-up/about us:
I would need at least 10 GB hard drive (SCSI HDDS) to begin with.
We currently have two seperate SMF forums (both private, internal with few users) operating on their own MySQL installations. We will probably add more forums (SMF) in the future - each with their own MySQL databases.
We have a Wordpress blog
We use Coppermine Album (it is also tied into the blog so that thumbnails of photos load into the blog sidebar)
For Transfer/bandwidth - I am not sure. I will guess at least 50G. We currently canlt send a lot of our e-mail out of our server due to e-mail limitations so I don't know exactly how much we will use.
On transfer - the majority of it is e-mail, followed by ftp usage.
I really do need someone who can handle and understand our high volumne of e-mail and will help make sure we have no issues with it. That is actually the lifeblood of our business. We recieve data from our clients each day via e-mail, and then send them back customized reports (each day) based on their data. This means we get a lot of e-mail in, and even more going out. When our e-mail shuts down - we shut down.
Our current hosting uses Cpanel and I do like it (and am used to it), however would consider a different control panel if it has the same basic features of Cpanel and is easy to use. However, I really like the fact that moving a Cpanel sitre to another one is very easy (unless that doesn't work when going from shared to VPS)
We will not be doing any reselling of hosting or anything like that - so i don't need anything geared that way. We actually will probably only have the one site, with a few other domains pointed to that. However, we may eventual create additional sites (with their own name) just for the forums.
I have seen about 10 companies listed in other threads that look really good, but not sure which I want... becuase I am hoping I can stay with who ever I pick for the next 10 years and more...
Some of the ones I am interested in are:
Servint
zone.net
powervps
there was a site that showed the host company if you searched by domain. unfortunately I didn't bookmark it.
View 14 Replies View RelatedThis is my first attempt at using a web hosting company. I currently use a free service from my ISP that gives me 25 MB of space for a personal web site. After only a few weeks, I have exceeded that limit and now find myself needing much more.
My personal website will contain information of a bowling league that my friends and I belong to. I plan to have many pages of data from an Excel spreadsheet included, either in a database format, or just plain html. I also plan to have several family photos and some video on my web site. I will be adding pages on a weekly basis.
I did some research and I felt I needed something like 25G of storage for all my pages containing tables and photos. Since I am not using it for business purposes, I am looking for something very basic, if that is possible.
If anyone knows a decent host that can accomodate my needs, which is simple, but requiring a lot of space, please share your recommendations. My budget is between $5 to $10 per month.
I'm a customer of IXWebhosting (actually their alias HostExcellence) and I'm completely disgusted. Their latest crime is denying and covering up a security problem which allows scripts to be inserted via cache directories. I now have people complaining of Bloodhound Exploit messages from their Norton Antivirus software. It's being done by somebody else on their servers, in turn infecting everybody else (for several weeks now).
Several months ago, they began SPAMMING the error pages with search engine affiliate links, which I'm sure they collect money from. I said I wanted them off, they said "do it yourself" using custom error pages.
Their outgoing e-mail servers are constantly blacklisted.
Whenever the database or main server fails, they never catch this on their own. I always have to call or create a support ticket.
Needless to say, I'm tired of their BS.
How do I find a replacement host that takes SECURITY seriously? Are there report cards anywhere?
How do you get the file size/details of a file through ssh?

to understand this page on cPanel. I can imagine that red dots are not a good thing while the green ones are, but I don't know what it all means or if I should be complaining about this to my host...
how can i do a search for all files (probs using regex) of files consisting purely of numbers?
for e.g. find:
53243.php
24353.php
24098.php
(always have 5 numbers).
seems one of my accounts has had some script run which generated a bunch of these in various subfolders, and the php file basically does a callback to www3.rssnews.ws and www3.xmldata.info, which seem to be some sort of spyware servers.
I've got a dedicated server running my portal. Now we plan to soon launch broadcasting, where we via a webcam + microphone will broadcast (streaming WMV media) to all our members. Our members will then be able to interact with the speakers via chatting.
Now we are currently undergoing loadtesting, with our current setup, which is:
1. dedicated server+ultrafast connection=>chatting
2. home PC with static IP and 1 MBit upload=>Video+Audio Streaming
So the member requests a page from the dedicated server, which has a chat window and a windows media player. The player will retrieve the video/audio content from the home PC. This is done by the client.
Now is pretty logical to see that there will be limitations in how many connections the home pc will be able to handle.
The question is: How do i make the dedicated server get the content from the home pc (so it only serves one connection) and then get all the clients to get their video content from the dedicated server ?
I've looked into the proxy modules for the apache server, however they (forward/reverse proxy) both passes the connection on to the remote machine and thereby not doing what I want to do.
I'm facing the task of migrating nearly 200 domains from 11.5 to a new server running 12. My question is whether any way to pre-populate the
FTP repository : hostname / username / password
Schedule : to daily / specify time / untick suspend domain
This would massively speed up the move, and remove the monotony of retyping these over and over!
I can't seem to figure out why this is not working. I want to cd into a directory and only compress certain files. However, what I end up with is a file called ..tgz (I am not sure why it is adding that other dot).
Here is the command line:
find . -mmin +1 -exec tar czf {}.tgz {} ;
I have a CentOS web server at my company. It's dual opteron. That server also acts like a router and I have about 5 computer are connected to that router. My web server has been slowed and can i find out who is using my bw ?. Those 5 computers has only local ips (10.10.0.x).
that my website is just for me, no one else know that website.
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'm wondering if you can tell me something about your experience with a host/server in a different country or overseas.
My webpage will be mostly frequented by Australians.
What do you think is the advantage and the disadvantage of having a host in your own country and having one overseas?
I'm thinking about stability, traffic speed, peak hours in different time zones, customer service, ....
What are your experiences?
I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.

This is for just a couple of simple domains and sites to be hosted.
with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?
Someone posted some code similar to below, I made modifications or two after trying to detect PHP "nobody" users, after dumping a few printenv I found PHP exports PWD when calling an external program such sendmail. Basically the PWD will show the user directory that is coming from, which is enough to detect who is sending SPAM even as nobody! It's not 100% secure in that they could wipe /var/log/formmail but I don't imagine any spam will notice the logger, they presume any cPanel server (or other CP for that matter) is the same.
mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail2
pico /usr/bin/sendmail (paste the below code into it)
chmod +x /usr/bin/sendmail
echo > /var/log/formmail
chmod 777 /var/log/formail
