Hardware/Technical Requirements To Host A TLD
Jul 1, 2008
if anybody is looking into hosting their own TLD with the new ICANN decision? I'm wondering what the requirements would be? And has anybody seen/heard any mention of what the registration fees are likely to be, I know there will be bidding on names in dispute...maybe this will be the case for every worth-while TLD.

I need some help finding a reliable windows host. I haven't hosted on windows in a long time, and I don't know how to choose. These are the specs:
Requirements:
* Windows hosting
* PHP GD library (installed on most hostings)
* Permissions to execute third-party applications (i.e. exe files)
* Permissions to execute Internet Explorer
I've used Jodohost before and they were ok. Also was considering weberz.com, but I don't if either will meet these requirements. Any ideas?

I have a moderately successful site, which makes enough money to cover my current hosting costs of 7 per month. I know, millionaire row it ain't, but it's popular. But my database is getting big and my current host wont allow the user of EXECUTE and SUPER privileges which I need to run triggers and stored procedures to keep the page load times sensible.
So, I need another UK host with:
- 2Gb of space (the site serves up big PDF documents)
- 70Gb of bandwidth (I said they were big)
- mysql privs available as above
Customer service with my current host, uk web solutions, is great (apart from refusal to countenance the privileges) so I need my new host to be as good. Budget? well, you can see what I'm paying now, and I have a psychological £10/month barrier which I don't want to cross.

I was wondering the following:
1) How many client accounts is it safe to run under a VPS with 256MB RAM, provided that the clients will be using Virtualmin (safe?) and max a forum each (say phpBB) with regular expectations/traffic.
2) Why do people limit the number of MySQL client databases living in a server. Is it reliable service (won't crash) to provide 5 mysql dbs per client in the above VPS specs?
3) How do I limit the quota on a MySQL db? For example 50MB of space per db.

Warning: I do not want to re-open discussion on some previous threads about the legality of inode limitations. If it gets to that, please feel free to close this thread.
Reading through some other posts about inodes made me look at my own VPS setups. I use XenSource 3.1 on a CentOS 5 Dom0, using LVM for VM storage. When I create a new virtual machine (CentOS5 or Ubuntu, etc) I format the root filesystem with ext3. I use all the defaults, including number of inodes. So for a 20 gigabyte filesystem, I get:
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 20G 453M 19G 3% /
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 2621440 13861 2607579 1% /
Would there be any advantage to limiting the number of inodes a VPS has? Sure, if you had 200,000 inodes instead of 2.6 million inodes, you would have more available space. But there doesn't seem to be a hard limitation on the disk drives I'm using (WD 250GB SATA using linux software raid 1). I assume I could set any amount of inodes to a filesystem?

I am thinking of Futurehosting.biz unmanaged server.
Can you please see if these skills are enough:
(1) Futurehosting will do the security setups.
Skill-sets:
(2) use of ssh to backup mysql, directory contents; do file management (create directories, move files); restore mysql
What other skill-sets do i need?
(3) do i need to know how to install o/s? (gulp!)
(4) setup email accounts?
(5) create sub-domains?
I thought of downloading webmin (i read about it in the other posts but have no experience) and will it help in points (3) to
(5)?

I have moderate experience in administrating. I recently got a quarter cabinet, and I have 2 servers in there.
I have registered a company name, as a domain which is currently hosted at GoDaddy (www/mail) (mydomain.com)
But I have installed centos5 on one server, and called it web1.mydomain.com, added the web1 CNAME in GoDaddy's DNS control. Even did an rDNS to it through my provider.
I have installed Webmin on it to help me add virtual servers (who will be my customers)
And web1.mydomain.com has a mail server on it (Postfix).
Might even put DNS on it. These virtual servers will send emails as well (as I'll be hosting them)
But for now, what will be my next steps in getting my mail server (or the main server) accepted in the web world, for example, I've done SPF records, and rDNS. But what else do I need to do so my email is accepted everywhere?
The virtual domains will be sending mail using the postfix, and ofcourse it'll mean they're piggybacking on web1.mydomain.com, so I guess I need to do stuff so email from web1.mydomain.com will be accepted worldwide.

I am running Windows Webserver for more than 2 years.
I wanted to ask that, does anyone ever has bad experience with Windows Server ? Like ASP problems, like ASP connections limit FULL, or server Halt or Restart due to huge requests of ASP or ASP connections limit on server. Please let me know if you experienced any such issue.
I am thinking to use ASP pages fully with huge traffic on Windows Server (but i doubt that maybe there could be some ASP limitations when large amount of ASP pages open, it creates some problem). Or do you recommend Linux servers over Windows for High Traffic website ?

I have been in internet business since 1996 and I never have such a bad hosting provider as BurstNet, I am really amazed of the quality of the technical support.
Since friday 19:00 till today I have no web services because an error causing high CPU load averages of almost 270%.
The restarted my server twice that day (see it on my logs), I really dont know why, and they dont want to tell me, and since then the server has this problems.
Looking to my logs I found errors provoking high I/O waits, I explain all this and send this and other logs:
-----
Nov 8 09:53:16 ***** kernel: [47129.296313] sd 2:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x08000002

Nov 8 10:18:21 ***** kernel: [47129.296373] ata3: EH complete
----
Right now the load averages are 0 because I stopped Mysql that seems that is causing the high cpu load (because of the hard drive error).
After 14 hours waiting for the URGENT TICKET they say:

Again, I explain it again, now I receive this answer:

Hello,
This server seems fine.
[root@***** ~]# w
10:18:50 up 1 day, 13:59, 2 users, load average: 0.07, 0.02, 0.00
------------
Why If I explain there is an error, with log files proving it, they don't read my messages! the simply don't read the messages or what is going on? I really don't get,
I explain the problem!
Maybe the only way they can put attention is driving the server again to that high load averages right?

I know there are many threads covering similar topics but their answers often do not contain technical arguments but rather subjective reasons and I'd like to know whether there are also some technical reasons to favor one of these two forums over the other.
Does one handle a higher load particularly well or does one have the cleaner code or is there any other reason to choose one over the other?

I work for Microsoft. Used to be a regular participant on Web Hosting Talk a few years ago (then moved over to Europe at that time). I've been doing some work recently that has led me back to the community here to ask for some input on where administrators of Windows-based hosting services go to find technical information.
How often might you use the following two Web sites?
1) [Hosting Solutions on TechNet]
2) [Windows Hosting Discussions]
I've just re-registered a new account so I have to do the five post thing before I can insert links, otherwise I'd to a direct link to the two above. If you're not familar with them, just do a Web search for those phrases and the sites will be at the top of the list.
Are there other Web sites that you use regularly for technical information on operating Windows hosting services? Or do you mostly just enter a phrase in Google and temporarily use the Web site/s that come up in the search results?

After peeking around at this board for some years, I decided to create an account.
I'm the original author of Rootkit Hunter and decided to create a new tool, named Lynis.
Lynis is an auditing tool for Unix (Linux, BSD and other). It scans the system and available software to detect security issues, bad/insecure configuration options and unsafe file(s) permissions. It tries to assist administrators in using and maintaining best practices, but also in the common things which get forgotten (like expired SSL certificates).
Though Lynis has been available for some months now, and many
updates/suggestions have been implemented, it still can use a broader user base. So my issue (we are in the technical issues section after all) is that I like more input and want to know what other people audit on their systems. Or what tools they like the most. Of course I have many ideas myself, but with the many different people here (in skills and specialties), every input is most likely improving the tool and increasing security for others as well.
In case you like to try the software (GPL, free to use), the software can be found at www . rootkit .nl (can't use URL's yet, due 5 post policy)
Since I don't only want to announce my tool (but like to have some input), I placed it in this section, hope it doesn't look like a "commercial" sell.

I'm currently looking for co-location in the US (preferably West coast) for a 2RU server with a 100mbit port with around 500gb-1TB of bandwidth, with the option to upgrade bandwidth as necessary.
I have two requirements though - first, I need a provider who can do the initial server setup for me. I want to provide them with a blank, empty server and I want them to install the operating system (no control panel), install the relevant software (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Exim) and do an initial server hardening. Obviously expect to pay a higher setup cost for this
Second, I need a provider that does two things - they need to offer dedicated servers as well as co-lo (as I will need a handful of dedicated servers at some point in the future for 2-3 months only), and I need them to be able to place these servers on to a private switch/VLAN so that all bandwidth can be pooled between the servers and used as necessary, rather than having individual port limits. I would probably be looking at needing a 1gbit port in total for these servers (or 100mbit ports to each server). And I need someone that can sustain a data transfer of a few hundred mbits from these servers in terms of their infrastructure and connectivity
So does anyone know of any providers that can offer this? Preferably someone who doesn't charge an arm and a leg (but at the same time, not necessarily dirt cheap) for bandwidth, as I will obviously be using a fair bit

we have a site with a lot of traffic around 100.000 visitors and 250.000 pageviews daily, each page is just 30k to 60k , we use mssql server and hit our database with a very simple query ( "select, where, order by" type ), is a small table just 9000 records. What windows vps would you guys recommend me for this kind of traffic? What amount of RAM memory? mssql on the same server or shared? would mssql server 2005 express do the job?

How much does a typical quad core Xeon eat, say an E5410 or a E7320? a 2GB RAM stick? A 500-750GB SATA disk? How much is the system overhead for a 1U unit? I tried to find data on this without too much success. For example Intel says the same number (80W) for an 1.6GHz CPU and a 2.4GHz one -- that does not sound too reliable to me.
If this is too abstract, then I would like to ask aobut the real world power consumption of two boxes. 1 E5410, 8GB of RAM, 2 SATA disk maybe 10K RPM. The other will have two E7320, 24-32GB of RAM and 3 10-15K disk.

What sort of hosting requirements do you think I would need for...
A site with a mysql db with 100,000+ records in a single table and executing simple select statements on the table with 100,000+ records at a rate of 50 queries per second? (All other things should be negligible at this scale).

My question is not purely theoretical. My partners and I are starting a new web hosting company and would like to hear your opinion before we do something completely wrong. Our understanding of the market tells that there are 2 major components of that business: reliability and cost, so we decided to keep cost at the average rate but to bring reliability as high as possible. So our points were as following:
1. Reliable server hardware: IBM/HP/Dell servers only, using redundant hard drives in RAID1, redundant power supplies.
2. Reliable and fast server support: Server vendor provided 7x24 onsite support with 4 hour response
3. Reliable network: Connection to at least 4 major internet providers
4. Reliable power: Dual UPS provide 2 redundant power lines to each server
5. Powerful servers: Dual CPU 4-Core Xeons; up to 32 GB RAM; 750 GB SATA II disks
6. Remote diagnostics and support: Servers equipped with Remote Management interface to diagnose problems and create server support ticket with the server vendor automatically.
7. Reliable datacenter: Toronto Front 151 datacenter provides physical security, fire prevention, network connections, power generators
We will provide VPS hosting and considering SUSE/Virtuozzo as our main virtualization platform. We have not decided yet either to purchase its support through Novell (SUSE distributor) or SWsoft (Virtuozzo vendor).

I'm in the (very) early stages of developing a MySpace application and I'm looking for advice on hosting package needs. I've got an extensive software development background, but nothing at all web related, so I really don't know where to begin, and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot from the get-go.
I assume a simple shared hosting package would suffice for development, but I don't know how long or far it would scale, what the upgrade path would be, or what difficulties I'd encounter, so I'm here with this question.
I'd appreciate any suggestions whatsoever on what's key for this kind of application: package type, minimum data transfer, connections, cpu time, OS, database, language support, etc.. That includes any experiences anyone might have had, the host they've used and liked or disliked, or what they offer themselves (if that's allowed on the forum) and so on. Anything at all.

Do you realise that the x64 Opteron is needing an avarage 1.7 %MEM for each Apache process while the Xeon just needs 0.5 %MEM?
Since both use the same version of phpBB and the same version of CentOS5, while the only difference is one is x64 and the other i686, I wonder if this has to do with the way memory is handled by the x64 CentOS5.

Currently i am running on a Mediatemple DV base VPS that provides me 256MB guaranteed RAM, and a processing speed of appx 190Mhz and is on Virtuozzo.
Currently my site keeps going down and i dont know what to do...
Can anyone please suggest me a better VPS for my site.
My Budget is around 60$.
I checked linode and they are providing 900MB of RAM guaranteed, along with 533Mhz of processing, but the only problem i feel is that they are running on UML.
How good is linode?, anyone used them before, any previous experiences.
how stable is UML?, is it better to have Virtuozzo or UML.
I am actually looking for Xen servers,Can anyone suggest me on Xen?
Vpsland is providing Xen servers, do anyone have any previous experiences with Vpsland,Linode.
Even JaguarPC is providing a VPS for 512MB ram, on vitruozzo or 59$,how good is JaguarPC, any previous experiences...
If you can provide me more services that fall within 60$ and a minimum of 512MB ram,

I'm trying to come up with a cheap , middle of the road, and high end set of solutions (list of equipment) for in-house hosting of video-casting / audio-casting on a site that can get big spikes of traffic at times. With some particular attention /consideration to the back-end, server requirements/needs. When or at what point does one need a a dedicated server for media? How much bandwidth is needed? how much traffic is a breaking point?

I want to pass on a warning before anyone goes with iWEB. I just ordered a $269 a month dedicated server so I could run vmware on it for my own virtual machines that I need.
With this server I got 7 IPs.
The primary IP they assigned me is say for example: 70.xx.15.171 with a GW of 70.xx.15.161. The secondary ips they issue me are 70.xx.18.249-254. So these are on a completly different subnets.
After talking on the phone to several differnt people including tech support who tells me this will work jsut fine useing thoes secondary ips on my VMs and to not put a gateway address. I talk to my account manager he says to open a ticket that he will forward to their system admins.
This is the ticket I opened.
I just got a new server set up CL-T113-140CL. It was
assigned the primary ip of 70.xx.15.171 with a GW of 70.xx.15.161. My
secondary ips are 70.xx.18.249-254. The server we got from you is a
VMWare host. We need to use the secondary IPs for the Guest VMs. How
ever the primary and secondary IPS are on different subnets and so
the VMs useing the IPs 70.xx.18.249-254 can not talk to the gateway.
I need to have a gateway server IP to use for my VMs.
Please either give me a valid GW address for the 70.38.19.x subnet or
assign new secondary IPs on teh 70.xx.15.x subnet with a SM that can
talk to the 70.xx.15.161 GW assigned.
this is the reply I get back from their system adminstrator
The gateway to be used for your secondary IP addresses is the same as
the one for your primary. You should not have anything to change,
gateway-wise. Just leave the current one as default gateway and
everything should work just fine.
If there is anything please do not hesitate to contact us.

Are they brain dead at iWEB? DO they understand basic TCP-IP networking at all?
Here is my last reply. I tried to make it real simple for them to understand.
This does not address the issues. Do you even know what a virtual
machine is? It is a virtual computer running on the host computer.
The host computer has a valid ip address of 70.xx.15.171, sm:
255.255.255.224 gw: 70.xx.15.161. The virtual machines (or guest
operating systems) if I assign it the IP address of 70.xx.18.249 SM:
255.255.255.248 with no gateway it is physically impossible for it to
reach the gateway of the host pc 70.xx.15.161. You have to understand
the Virtual Machine operates as a completely separate computer. It
requires its own gateway. with no gateway specified it has no way to
get out of its local subnet to get to the 70.xx.15.x subnet. What
happens if you put two physical computers on one hub. The computer on
port 1 of the hub has the IP info 70.xx.15.171 SM: 255.255.255.224 GW
70.xx.15.161. The second computer is on port 2. It has the ip info
of: 70.xx.18.249 SM: 255.255.255.248 GW: NONE.
How is the pc on port 2 going to communicate with the pc on port
1? This is the exact situation we are in. There has to be a
gateway to route the IP traffic from pc2 to pc1 to get onto the
internet.

Im trying to host a video sharing site. I have been through 2 hosts that told me they support the files that i need (i.e. flvtool2, mencoder, mplayer, ffmpeg, etc.) Come to find out that they dont. Now i am in need of a new host that supports this. I have researched different ones but to make a decision i need this answer:
For a video sharing site just starting out what is the recommended bandwidth, data transfer, and disk space to run this site? I just want to start small and i will expand if the growth permits it. I just dont want to jump in feet first not knowing the outcome.
