I'm having my first DDOS attack. Do people DDos servers for no reason? Beacause they are attacking an IP on a server that have not had any sites or any use on it for 4 years.
Is there a reason to set a high TTL for DNS? Like the standard is a few days.I set mine to 10 minutes. So whenever I do a change its propagated within 10 minutes. Is there a reason this would be bad? I realize it means more queries to my server, but 10 minutes is still rather long, not like thats going to totally hammer my server,
We currently have a server that has Windows 2003 and were wondering the advantages of upgrading to R2? How I spend the extra money for an upgrade? Please no linux comments

I have a dual processor, dual core server with 12GB memory.. It uses less than 4% CPU utilization and less than 5% memory utilization, but for some reason It's really slow to load sites...
I know this isn't much information, but would any have any ideas as to what could cause the slow speed?
If is anyone is available to look at it, I'll pay you (obviously).
I'm not sure how many people here use VMWare, but I'll give this question a shot... I'm looking for a solution similar to Winrar that can view the contents of the .vmdk file. Either to extract any files, or just view the contents without having the have the virtual machine online. I checked Google as well as VMWare's forums/website with no avail.
Like if you try to make your own server, it would cost a few thousand right? Or bought one from IBM or something. If you rent a server, it could cost you like double that I notice or even more in a period of a year.
I was looking at the prices of Xeon 5420 and they are like only 400 or something. Motherboard, ram, hdd's shouldn't amount to too much right?
And companies are charging like 50 bucks a month for a 2 gigs of ram.
Or am I actually looking at this wrong and actually am looking at desktop components? So is bandwidth the cost for these prices? In the long run aren't people being ripped off?
I have dedicated server with a Swedish hosting company. We have a network/community website that can have about 300 people online at the same time. But as soon it gets to 240-280 people get logged out (Sessions are closed). The website becomes extremly slow.
What can we do to have at least 2000 people online at the same time with out any session being killed?
Do we have to upgrade the memory from 1 GB > 2 GB? Or do we need 10>100 Mb port? Unmetered server?
I have a shared server (root access) using Cpanel / Centos with suphp enabled.
Twice this week the sever's load skyrocketed and was unable to login to trace teh cause, had to reboot instead.
After reboot, I went to whm > CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage and saw nothing in red aside netstat (21% cpu). I'm not sure if this is the cause, but how can I trace the absolute user or script causing this spike?
I have a dedicated machine collocated at some hosting provider and after a while (14 days or so, but timeframe is not constant) it hangs for no apparent reason. It happened 2 times already. Nothing in the logs (it logs everything), nothing at all.
Before the commission the machine was running for a month without any problems.
The first time it happened the tech guy plugged in monitor and keyboard and could not see anything on the display. Before that machine was not loaded with any traffic, nobody should have actually known it is there (except for some DNS traffic). It took some 20 days of uptime.
The second time it happened was yesterday, after some 15 days of uptime.
I suspect hardware malfunction because I have 2 "identical" (OS & progs, not the hardware) systems running without any problems. It is an HP DL380 G5 machine, the problematic one.
I got a new hard drive. After just completing the wonderful instructions on how to rename video files on the server, the new hard drive has just "misplaced" over 1200 of my exclusive videos!
I didnt erase anything, but now the hard drive can only see upto a certain letter, all after that has gone.........is there any way this hard drive can restore these files? its getting ridiculous now
PRODUCT, Plesk for Windows VERSION 11.5 latest update VERSION OF MICROUPDATE 11.5.30 Actualizar #39, OPERATING SYSTEM Windows 2008 Server Suddently with no apparent reason, MYSQL stops and Ihave to go to the panel and restart it.
Every Morning I have to restart MySQL thru the control panel in remote console of windows..Works all day long, and then stops at night..Should work as always did, for several months I did not even reboot the server, no I have to reboot the server to see if that fixes the problem. Latest windows update, latest Plesk for windows update, but I have the feeling that with the latest microupdate something has broken,
We have Livezilla tracking on our site, and saw some suspicious activity this afternoon from the Netherlands, about 5 connections from the same IP address, they now appear to have put in a cname record/copied our site for http://wiiee.nl/design.html to our site. Does anyone know what they're doing/trying to do?
So I've just been browsing around and I've checked out a couple of peoples portfolios. Some of you guys have 100's of domain names registered under you waiting for someone to buy it.
So that's my question, how can you have so many domains registered? Isn't that very expensive?
So we just switched servers, but some people are reporting that they can either not access the site, or are not being displayed the newest content. What is causing this?
I just switched to a new server last month and Im having a problem where a lot of my members and even some of my mods are unable to connect to my website. They are just getting a page cannot be displayed error. The website is ftascene(dot)com. Is everyone here able to connect to the site, and any idea why not everyone would be able to connect?
we use CentOS Linux 7.0.1406 (Core) Plesk Version 12.0.18 Update #26 I got reports of several users on my system, and i can confirm this myself, that fail2ban is blocking courier imap and postfix connections when i try to connect to the Plesk Server with Outlook 2013 and theBat and the Apple Mac Mail Client.
I used the correct login information but fail2ban blocked the IPs for no obvious reason:
Code:
2014-12-03 12:46:57,908 fail2ban.actions[920]: WARNING [plesk-postfix] Ban 82.134.94.102 2014-12-03 12:46:58,049 fail2ban.actions[920]: WARNING [plesk-courierimap] Ban 82.134.94.102 I disabled the two jails now and it works perfectly. But why is fail2ban blocking valid requests ? I tried it myself and i did not enter a wrong password or something. MaxRetry is 5 so this should not be a problem. The problem is not affecting all users but just a few. However all of them are using correct credentials so i dont understand why they are being blocked at all.
I recently moved a client of mine to a dedicated server with a hosting company called the NYNOC. After losing a few weeks of data for my client in the incedent described below, I am wondering if what happened was industry standard, or this was a case of choosing the wrong hosting company.
After signing up and paying the initial hosting charge, I received two notices - one on 18 july, and the second on 26th july - for a bill that was due 25th july.
On 2nd august I get a complaint from my client saying the website is down. I figured the hosting company had cut me off for a late bill. Fine, I figure i go and pay the bill and the reconnection charge and they put me back on.
After waiting 8 hours to get a support person (they dont have 24 hours customer service), I was told that I no longer had a account with them! No client log in. No server. Nothing. The disk was wiped clean and the server was sold to another customer. Without any warning that this would happen.
So my client lost a few weeks of customer data and I lost my credibility.
I was just wondering if this is standard practice in the dedicated hosting industry, or these guys are just bad news.
One more thing. When you talk to these people (they have only one customer support person) its almost as if they really really dislike their customers. As in, they talk down to you even as they exhibit complete disregard for your interests. This I know is not an industry standard. I have several accounts at Hurricane Electric, and they are tops. Unfortunately they do not offer well priced dedicated hosting.
I think I will try Interserver next. I spoke with one of the support guys on AOL late at night, and they seem good, and more importantly, are able to have a pleasant conversation with their customers.
