currently i am on OVH...and ovh's speeds are amazing when it comes to torrenting..and stuff..no problems whatsoever till now..but i am looking for a modest budget server than will give me good http speeds average 400-500KB/sec ...i dont care much abt the hard drive space..even a 40 geg hard drive will do..but all i need is a good RAM..i am expecting 300-400 max users to download from the server using http..concurrent connections may be not more than 150..so i definitely need a good RAM..3 gegs i presume? budget: preferably less than 100 dollars
The problem is that HTTP file download speed is nearly 10 times lower than FTP download speed. What could be limiting it? It's about 7Mb for FTP and 70-100Kb for HTTP. Strangely, download speed is OK when browsing from the server itself (e.g. via RDP)
The server I have running has LAMP and some other related services running. It's on a 100Mbit shared port. Whenever the server has been running for 30-90mins, the pings start to become very high (+2000ms). Problem exists with ftp, ssh, http etc, and restarting named, httpd, mysqld doesn't affect anything. The only thing that gets the pings back down and the speeds up again is to reboot the system, which takes about a minute. The MRTG graphs show that there isn't any significant traffic which cause the pings go down, in fact, the traffic goes close to 0 when the pings start sky rocketing. CPU load is < 0.1 and memory usage low as well.
I want to pay up front a monthly fee and have it fully managed so I don't have to worry why the MySQL server just suddenly died or why Server 4 doesn't respond.
Somebody posted a video in my website which got viral. Many big websites (like gizmodo) embeded it and I've maxed out my 100mbit/s connection. Traffic is increasing and my website started crashing.
I want to move that video to other server ASAP so my website would stop crashing.
Do you know any host which would set up server or VPS fast (up to 1-2 hours)?
Am new and have done the usual forum search but did not find what i (specifially) want.
Looking for a good (shared) hosting company with the ability to run both ASP.NET and PHP sites (if possible). The hosting should be fast and accessible in US, Europe and China.
Thus far, i have been able to find a few shared hosting companies with a bit of speed, but they will not provide both ASP.NET and PHP
Is my combination hard to find and will i need to just seperate and find 2 hosting companies, one for .NET and one for PHP?
Is there a good dedicated server company that has fast guaranteed turn ups, allows colocation, a private network, and is outside the midwest?
I want to colo my database server(s), firewalls, and switches but then use dedicated servers as web servers. Hopefully allowing me to add web servers very quickly as needed (someone getting /.'d). I would want the webservers on a private network only.
I need a dedicated server sometime in the future and I was wondering if I should use Virtuozzo or Hypervm and how much can I get a dual core or quad core with good support? Thank you for your time.
my friend's server is being attacked, the http processes shoots up causing the server load to go above 200 in minutes of starting httpd which causes server to die.
this is how the apache web server's access_log would log a normal http request; ------------------------------------------------------ "xx.xxx.xx.xx - - [01/Jun/2007:22:13:21] "GET /folder/name.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 877 [url]"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)" ------------------------------------------------------
Today when the http load increased we saw hundreds of following requests; ------------------------------------------------------ "xx.xxx.xx.xx - - [01/Jun/2007:22:13:21] "GET /? HTTP/1.1" 200 16305 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)" ------------------------------------------------------
You see the difference between a legitimate http access log entry and the above one is that the legitimate one shows the filename(GET /folder/name.gif) and domain name being requested whereas the second one shows ("GET /?")
Above requests continously originate from 30 to 40 different ip addresses. Most of them russian ips, and many form US and canada to.
When i do a grep "GET /?" in access log there are thousands of these which started just today.
I cannot block each ips because i feel they have hundreds of IPs to initiate these requests from.
I am trying to install a FTP Server in my computer so that I can simply login into my own computer to grab important files at work... since carrying laptop and loosing flash drives are becoming annoying .
In my home computer I have Linksys Router, and Verizon as my ISP (blocks port 80, 21 I believe).
Since Verizon blocks those ports the configuration has become a nightmare.
Using BulletProof FTP Server I made the FTP Server listen to port 5000. And in my router's forwarding section I opened the port 5000, and made it listen to 192.168.1.100 (Port Range Forwarding, TCP UDP both).
I did the same for my Apache server and made it to work with port 443.
When I access [url] the web server loads up fine.
But when I try [url] it doesn't load up, where 1.2.3.4 is my IP.
When I visit just my IP in the web browser, it loads up the Router Configuration page.
And the FTP server doesn't connect when I try with the
I've two shared hosting accounts, one is hostgator and other is godaddy.
I've uploaded a file (.flv) on hostgator and same file on godaddy.
here a link to both
Hostgator flv
Goddady flv
Now i am use a Download manager " free download manager" to download files The hostgator file downloads at 17-35kb/s The godaddy file downloads at 200kb/s
I am using 2Mbps dsl.
Also my hostgator cpanel loads slow. and other files are downloads at very low max 40kb/s.
What are the issues. I've contacted hostgator support and they say that every thing is ok on their end.
I have to stream videos on hostgator but the speed is too slow. and it buffers alot.
What would be best method to test quality of server?For example,how site loads,do they load at all,speed of loading,etc.
What bothers me some of my site which i host on my servers start to lose traffic a lot lately.It could be beacuse of summer slowdown,but i simply cant belive in that.
Maybe server have a downtime or server have bad hardware router which doesnt accept all traffic.In shortly i belive something is wrong.So please tell me how do i do deep scan/check of all my servers.
I have a dedicated server, but i dont know how i can measure the bandwidth at specific time, the problem that i feal that my bandwidth is below what i requested...
what i mean with Bandwidth is not trfic, it is the connection speed at a moment (i.e. 50Mbps)
the speed of FTP access to the server is acceptable, if I surf the website on the server by ip address, the speed is also acceptable however, if I surf the website on the server by domain, the speed is really slow.
I have two servers one from hostmysite and other one is from 15minute server, I would like to know which one is faster, I have a dedicated server from 15minuteserver, but sometime I get slow speed I am not really sure which one is faster.
If i put domain.com on uptime checker,and downtime is detected,downtime will be reported if dns is down or if http server is down.So question is what i need to do to see what exactly went down?For network uptime i can ping ip adress,but for these two i really don't know.
I need to find out what would be the best software to run an image website for one of my clients, there is only one domain so I've considered using LiteSpeed Standard (Free)... What server do you think would be the best?
All I need is PHP support for the image viewer software.
I've setup a dedicated server that is currently running with a domain bound to it. However this time I want to setup a centos 5.1 + latest apache 2 + bind 9 server that can only be connected to by IP address and doesn't have a domain name. So what do I need to modify in the below files to do so:
First of all will I even need bind at all? I already have it setup and (mis-)configured but I guess if I don't need it I can just take if off of autostart and stop the process "named".
zone "server.domain.com" { type master; file "server.domain.com.db"; }; I don't even want the zone have domain.com in its name but that's just there so I could show you how I'd include server.domain.com.db.
server.domain.com.db
$TTL 14400 @ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. root.server.domain.com. ( 2007052503 14400 3600 1209600 86400 )
server.domain.com. 14400 IN NS ns1.domain.com. server.domain.com. 14400 IN NS ns2.domain.com.
localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1 www 14400 IN A 78.129.174.164 I'm not sure what to do about those references to domain.com here, they shouldn't be needed but without them I don't know what to put here. ^^ Obviously I can't use those nameservers...
resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 78.129.143.155 nameserver 87.117.198.200 nameserver 87.117.196.200 The only thing missing from this file is "search domain.com" at the top, is that needed even though I won't really have any domains used by this server?
/etc/hosts:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail ....
SO the last few months I been trying like crazy to tweak Apache or find a better http setup such as running lighttpd with Apache, etc. I have been frustrated by the way Apache easily fork bombs under any decent load or dos attack. You get about 100 bots all making 30+ connections a piece on Apache and it kills it.
Bot kids have adapted to ddos protection and connection flooding banning by sending low bandwidth attacks that do not make enough connections to get banned if you do have protection, its real low bandwidth incoming but is like a massive vampire attack outgoing. And it destroys Apache no matter what you do, what modules you have, etc. You basically have to go in and manually ban or set your connection tracking limit down to where it starts banning regular users too.
So I seen on here somewhere someone recommending litespeed to someone so I went and checked it out and was amazed by the performance. I installed the trial enterprise in a p4 server I been having problems out of lately crashing all because a busy site and I installed it in my main server.
The only thing I needed to do was compile my own php5 for it, which is real easy via their wiki instruction. After a few snags here in there I finally got it working tip top on both servers, both of which are cpanel.
So with the p4 that was always crashing and keeping hi load, We would end up having to remote reboot that box almost once a week not due to any misconfiguration or wrong setup, just couldnt take all that Apache usage and would die. We instantly noticed a difference with litespeed. The average load used to be about 1-2 always, with litespeed the average stayed about ..2 even under heavy traffic. So this was a big improvement and we have not had to reboot that box since.
My main server which I take my high risk clients on, core2duo 2.4. I thought there for a Lil bit the sites were starting to outgrow the server as its average load always was around 1 which was fairly acceptable seeing the traffic it gets so normal for Apache.
During the low bandwidth ddos attacks I would have to go in and manually ban as well as setting connection limit way down just to keep it from lagging, most of the time it still did. So I was really wanting to do something for this server to optimize http without upgrading, because it seems most of your hardware upgrades are to suit Apache anyway.
So I installed litespeed on my main server, ran into a few snags here and there but eventually got it under control. Just the last few days I got to see it put to the test.
I took on a client who was being extorted by a ddoser who recently got him kicked off his previous host. SO as soon as dns resolves here comes the crapstorm. A low bandwidth http attack, a lot got by ddos firewall on the network level which these are hard to stop because they are so similar to a legit user.
So I started getting hundreds of csf connection tracking blocked emails, was checking the site periodically and it loaded fine. So I logged in the box, looked at the load.
Was at .24. When I done netstat command there was hundreds of syns coming in and about 250 ips all connected about 50 times, this would normally kill Apache no matter what CPU/ram and all that you have. So I set connection tracking down to a reasonable level, 60 connections and I figured I would just let them get themselves banned. Looking in the live stats in the litespeed admin panel which is real cool BTW. I was seeing about 400 requests a second. This was eating a Lil bandwidth, all outgoing as that is how the attack works like a massive vamp attack. So about 2000 connection tracking emails later finally gets em all banned. The entire time the load on that box never even got to 1!
So im pretty much amazed how fast and light this http server is. And especially how well it handles dos. I about know for a fact even if you was on a non protected network it could handle as much http as your pipe will give it, and do all this at a low resource load.
This will end up saving me money on hardware upgrades in the future as well. Long review, long story, but I been so amazed by this http server I had to make a review on it. Im sure some geniouses will try to say "If you do this and that with apache you can make it just as good" But check it out for yourselves and see.
There seems to be some problem with my server, none of the websites hosted on my server are accessible, the http requests either return a blank page or a page with a red quare on the upper left hand corner.
I am not sure if this is some kind of infection or DNS problem or a problem with memory apache is taking up as i have thousands of virtualhost entries in my access log accumulated over the years out of which only a few 100 websites i am serving presently, but never deleted the non-exitent virtualhost blocks.
At times the websites are opening but most of the times they are not. And when they do not open my http requets are not logged in apacha access log.
Even the customers have reported the same problem.
Also, just four days back i had a strange issue where all http requests to my server would take me to [url].
I can SSH to server, and everything else is working fine.
