Good Place To Get A 1/4 Rack? [UK]

Mar 5, 2008

where about I can get a decent 1/4 rack for a couple server's I'll be using and selling. I was thinking BlueSquare or Savvis. Blue square would be decent, although I don't see a price scheme on there website.

Poundhost, who are in the BSQ have been the most "attractive" to me. The rack is £260/month although It has a few thing's I would need more of and not sure if they offer it.

1) I will need atleast 50 IP Adress's

2) I want 20,000GB transfer on the rack, so each server get's 2000gb.

I was wondering also these question's:

1) Do I have to go to the datacenter personally, or can I send the server's down with a courier?

2) Is there a way on a rack, to limit each server to a set ammount of bandwith?

I'm asking these question's as I've never had a rack before, nor colocation, It's usually been dedicated. I've been looking to get atleast 50% of them quad core server's and hope they would sell like hotcakes.

Best Place To Rent A Quarter Rack

May 16, 2007

Who can you all recommend for renting out a quarter rack? Up until now, we've simply leased our servers, but we're ready to buy the things and ship 'em off. We have 4 servers we would like to rack - Two dual xeon 2.8's with 2gb ram, and two P4 3.6's with 2gb ram. I'm looking for US racking (but other locations, if you can highly recommend them, are fine). I'm looking for about 2TB Monthly Transfer per server - so about 8TB on a reasonably fast and reliable network.

Is Google A Good Place To Host?

Aug 27, 2008

I have agreed to rework my boss's storage rental facility website which means I will basically be starting over.

He's always trying to pinch pennies and suggested Google might be a good place to host the site.

From what I can tell, it looks like once you have your domain you pay $10 to host with Google them but it looks like a subdomain setting. For instance, my boss currently has a website called toeholdings.com and he's hosting with google. When I type in the toeholdings.com it redirects to http://partnerpage.google.com/toeholdings.com

If he's trying to get more traffic to this new website, won't that bury him since it appears to be a subdomain? I'm not completely sure what Google is doing here. It looks like beta version.

Does anyone know if their system includes website templates and software to help you build a site?

Is Google Sites A Good Place To Start Experimenting For A Newbie?

Mar 22, 2009

Looking to quickly practice with and master my HTML/CSS skills after reading Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS. At the end of the book he mentions site hosting, which I know Google does for free through "Sites".

That said, Sites looks to be designed for the non-web designer, for the average Joe looking to get his own website. So I'm wondering if people who have used it know if it supports an external CSS or if I can upload various image files. I figure that it is probably best that I don't use shortcuts in the initial learning phase.

I don't have a particular site idea in mind, just looking to play around with things and try them out.

High Density Rack/colocation (~10 KW/rack)

Dec 6, 2007

With all the high power servers/blade servers, the 40A (@ 110V) power limit is way too small. I am wondering if there is any colo space targeted for high density application, e.g. with 10 KW/cab limit for 60A @ 208V power drops. Does anybody know of such high density colocation space? East coast is preferred.

How To Place Ads At Top Of All Pages

May 22, 2008

I want to provide hosting with ads at the top of all pages but I don't want to deal with those "free hosting" scripts. I can set up the accounts manually, as it's a small and focused group I would be providing it to. I understand there is a simple way to place ads at the top of all the web pages on the server. Anyone know about this, can clue me in on how it's done?

I'm running CentOS with cPanel/WHM.

Also I know very little in Linux, enough to do certain tasks although I usually have Cpanel loaded to do 90% of tasks.

Is it easy enough to load a server from scratch? also are there any places where you can get pre-setup / configured distro images?

or Can servers be purchased from anywhere already pre-setup / configured? with a linux distro?

Where Is The Best Place In US To Colo

Dec 22, 2007

if you could host a US ecommerce site anywhere, where would that be? is it better to host in the midwest to reach both coasts faster? is it cheaper to host in the sticks vs big cities?

we use 1/2 rack and only about 2mb/s bandwidth.... we currently host near NYC, but find that we never go to the datacenter anyway, so why pay for the convenience?

Www.geekrack.net Is The WORST PLACE EVER

Mar 1, 2008

On Feb 21 I ordered a dedicated server with geekrack.com So when i got my server, i had asked them to have it portioned a specific way, but it was not set up like that So, when i asked them to have it reportioned and reimaged to the way I asked to have it set up, they tried to charge me $30.00. I told them that it was a unfair charge, so they did the good thing and dropped the charge for it. I submited that ticket on Feb 24, and the owner told me that this will be taken care of by the next morning. So, i gave it 24 hours, more time than they said, and it still was not done. I called them and they assured me that they were working on this issue. I gave it another 48 Hours, and still nothing was done. I found out that they were a reseller through burst.net, so i called burst.net to see if they had a ticket for this to be done, and the support tech I talked to told me that a ticket had not even been submitted! So when i spoke with the owner of geekrack.net, she got all grumpy with me and said she was going to yell at burst.net because they were not supposed to release any information. I told her that i would want my money back because their service says that it comes with 24/7 support. Now i was not even getting support, unless you call support saying, "ok we will do this" and not doing nothing. The owner is still refusing to give me a refund, so I have filed a chargeback with paypal, as much as I hate to do that, i beleive it is the only way i will get my money back. So in closing, DO NOT BUY FROM GEEKRACK.NET UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCREWED!

Where Is The Best Place To Put 300 Permanent Redirects

I was going to drop it into the .htaccess file but am wondering if there is a more efficient place to put it since this is permanent. Should it go into the httpd file/Virtual host file, will cPanel over-ride that file?

List Of Good Hosters With Good TELEPHONE Tech Support

May 6, 2008

I'd like to start an ongoing thread here listing the 'Good Hosters with Good TELEPHONE tech support'. In other words, out of the 1,000s of host companies, this may cut it down to less than a dozen.

( And for all you Hosters out there who really want your company to grow, and want to know how, - it's easy: just read here.)

Good telephone support is the #1 ultimate requirement, because:

-It's a lot faster and easier for both the user and the host company, because you can state and answer all questions and clarifications on the spot, you don't need to continually pass new emails with new questions and clarifications, back and forth for days on end, until the issue is solved. It saves tech time and user's time. And saves a lot of nerves.

- It's the best way to sort the good guys from the bad. A bad company isn't going to bother to answer the phone, - or will make you wait way too long, - because they are likely getting endless complaints. The good guys are always ready to answer the phones, with a friendly voice, - because they really WANT to please the customer.

- If a company can't be bothered to pick up the phone, we can't be bothered to even consider them. They're a joke, and so won't be listed here on this thread. (So, before adding or listing any Hosters here, please verfify that they do have Good, quick, friendly, telephone support,; ideally 24/7, but 9am to 10pm might be acceptable, if it was supplemented by some emergency contact.
AND:

- Hoster ALSO needs good EMAIL support (and preferably, Chat online, extended hour availability). (I spend a lot of time overseas). It sems all emails should get a non-automated response within about an hour, - and then support should jump on fixing any problem.

I only need support a few times a year. To answer some questions, or fix a problem, or do an install. That's lesss than 1 hour total, so any company paying maybe $18/hour tech support should be able to handle this. It IS reasonable to charge a custm for extended calls, beyond say, 90minutes a year, IF you don't count the 80%? Of times an issue is the Hoster;s fault of stmg gone wrong, and don't count the 'hold' times.

ALSO IMPORTANT:
- Uptime
- site Speeds
- Monthly plans, no contract (Only a dishonest host will try to force you into a contract, where they can then ignore you.)
- Reasonable price. (? Maybe $12 to $18/month for a basic business site. We don't need massive bandwitdths, - we all know that's an overselling scam, and can't ever be delivered.)
- a good upgrade plan of bigger options. Maybe even VPS.
- Dedicated IP, and availbility of SSL
-PHP 5, mysql, phpMyAdmin, etc
- cPanel ( Some Hosts are using problematic panels, like Hsphere, which are slow to load, slow in operation, require many more clicks, have too many options, spread apart on many separate pages. Time is money, and this really slows down the ability of a small business to manage his own site in effective time. For example, one WHT user wrote somewhere: "I don't feel that HSphere's interface is nice at all, although I have worked with cPanel and DA all my life... I just found it to include un-necessary features or split features up in to different hard to find pages, such as backups - mysql backups you had to find on a completely different page than file backups, and then there were options to have it in the home directory or server-end backup, in which then you had to wait a good 10 minutes before it was ready. cPanel, just hit backup and hit download and instantly it does everything you need...".

I have used several hosters. Currently on Aplus.net and Godad, which have phone support, and mediocre service.

My LIST So Far:
- Liquidweb: a very impressive company with good, 24 hour support. But to get dedicated IP, you need to go with their $25/month plan. Yikes!
- NewIdeaHosting.com. A very small company. My call was returned, and the owner chatted with me for an hour on the phone! Plans have small bandwidth, but promises No overselling, and personalized attention. Extra $5 for dedi IP. He specializes in Small business sites, and small eCommerce sites. He has only 250 accounts, on 3 servers. He rents servers from the Equinox data center of Chicago. Seems exceptionaly honest.
- MegaHosters. Excellent phone support and WHT reviews. But company was taken over by another company, and so may well go downhill in future. Another problem: uses Hsphere.
- Steadfast. Has a good rep on WHT, and seems impressive. Tech answered the phone immediately, but they say they prefer emails. Sales phone has limited hours. Good price on $20 SSL. But, uses Hshhere.
- JodoHost 24 hour phone. But, uses Hsphere. An Indian company with office in Florida, and good rep. I like the idea of outsourcing phone support, if it makes it more available and affordable. But, the accent on the phone was very hard for me to understand, so maybe this might not work.....
- Hostgator. Yes, it's a big overseller, but seems to get good reviews/results anyway, and good phone support.
- ? ThePrimeHost ?? Mostly good WHT reviews; some dissenters. Site says 24hour phone, but when I called on several nights, no one ever answered...
- Can anyone add to this list? Please list only hosts that meet the above minimum requirements of phone support, etc. Especially useful is hosters you've tried.
TO AVOID:
- Avoid Arvixe. I had a horrid experience with them, here: [WHT forum]:/showthread.php?p=5097822#post5097822
- Avoid WebHostingBuzz. This company never returned my phone msessage inquiries.

Alternative Host To Use In Place Of Site 5

Jul 1, 2008

Does anybody know of any other hosts that have the multi site function that site 5 has? This allows you to add multiple domains under one account without having to use domain pointers. They are pretty close to loosing me as a customer with the current control panel debacle they have going on. So I was curious to see if any other host out there offers the same thing.

How To Access Hosting From A Public Place

Aug 8, 2007

I often need to access my sites from public places, which are behind firewalls, don't have access to hard disk and any Windows tool (just plain internet access).

Problem: firewall, closed ports: 8082 (cPanel), 2078 (SSL; I don't know, if I'll need this), 2077 and maybe others.

Which hosting features I need? to be able to

1. access cpanel, when port 8082 is closed (I was using cpanelproxy.net until now with success).
2. for uploading files from other websites directly to my website (without prior downloading on a PC hard disc) - I've herad SSH should work, but what exact SSH I need - any experience someone? Any other solution? I was trying WEb Disc feature in cPanel11 but it needs port 2078 or 2077 open...

SpamAssassin Forwarding Mail To The Wrong Place

Feb 26, 2008

Whenever an incoming mail is tagged as [SPAM] by SpamAssassin in my mail queue I see it is being redirected from spamassassin@mydomain-site.com to spam@mydomain-site.org

Sence mydomain-site.org is no longer active the [SPAM] mail just sits there in the queue and does not get delivered anywhere..

I am new to this stuff so I have no idea where I should look to change the option.

I am not even sure if it is suppose to this, I just want all SPAM to go to spamassassin@mydomain-site.com

I don't have cpanel or any real server management, so i am not sure where to look and what to edit so the mail stops going to the .org domain.

Rule (htaccess?) That Prevents Stealing Of Graphics And Puts Another Graphic In Place

Feb 6, 2007

I have a question regarding people who are stealing content off my site (using the same URL of my site). I would like to make a rule (in .htaccess, I imagine) that does the following:

If the graphic is placed on the desired domain, put the correct graphic in place.
If the graphic is placed on another domain (stolen), put a 'substitute' graphic in place that says that the content was stolen.

I know you can do something along these lines (I used to have an .htaccess that prevented people from linking to pages outside of designated domains) but I'm not sure if you can narrow it down much more. However, it would rock if it was possible.

Thanks To Rack 911

Sep 27, 2007

I woke up to a complaint by the ISP of spamming for one of our servers. More than 10 000 spams in a shared hosting environment. Found Steven online, thank God! PM him and he went to work looking for the culprit. He spend time monitoring and putting in scripts to catch the culprit and in no time found the faulty script causing the spams.

Really saved me a big headache on how to explain to the ISP. Thanks to the consistent excellent work done by Steven of Rack911.

Those unpatched forums of clients can really be a hassle and a big source of problems.
