Host Not Giving Me The Hardware I Ordered
May 29, 2008
I didn't want to say anything bad about this Host, because the staff is very friendly, but people need to be warned incase they didn't get what they ordered either.
I ordered a server with a hotswappable RAID, and got a the welcome letter a few days later. The welcome letter didn't have my root password or my IP address range. So, I emailed asking for that. Then I started wondering if they missed anything else because the welcome letter nor their client area lists the server specs. So I asked if they have my the correct hardware.
They said No, and will give me a monthly credit and the correct hardware for the inconvience. It was a new server and wasn't a big deal to me.
But then I wondered if they did the same to the server I ordered like 40 days ago. So I asked and they said they messed up my hardware on that order too. That server is already up and running with sites on it.
The host is AxisHost , I know many people here recommend them, thats why I chose them, but this seems like it may be happening a lot with them.

I am looking for webhosts providing free dedicated (not shared) SSL certificates alongwith dedicated IP.
Currently I found only dotable.com and other companies in the UK2 group providing such a package. Is there any other good webhost providing free SSL certificates.
My budget is maximum $10 per month.
Only CPanel hosts are preferred and access to WHM would be a definite plus though not mandatory.

Is there any way to avoid getting false name lookups when trying to resolv inexistent domains ? apart from using another nameserver.
I'm sorry if it was posted earlier, tried searching but it didn't help as it gave me large results.
Code:
[root@removed ~]# ping hjkdji284kajgafhj87da778dfsd.com
PING hjkdji284kajgafhj87da778dfsd..com.insertdchere.com (xx.xxx.xxx.xx) 56(84) bytes of data.

I have a Virtuozzo VPS running Debian Sarge. I installed apf. My /etc/apf/conf.apf looks like:
IFACE_IN="venet0"
IFACE_OUT="venet0"
SET_MONOKERN="1"
IG_TCP_CPORTS="21,22,53,80,443,25,465,110,995,143,993,137,139,445,10000,3306"
IG_UDP_CPORTS="53"
Am am getting several "iptables: Invalid arguments" message. I traced this to these iptables calls from within /etc/apf/firewall. Each of these iptables calls gives "iptables: Invalid arguments":
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i venet0 -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL NONE -j IN_SANITY
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i venet0 -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,FIN SYN,FIN -j IN_SANITY

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i venet0 -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL ALL -j IN_SANITY
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i venet0 -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL FIN -j IN_SANITY
Any thoughts? According to my ISP, I have these iptables modules:
iptable_filter
iptable_mangle
ipt_limit
ipt_multiport
ipt_tos
ipt_TOS
ipt_REJECT
ipt_TCPMSS
ipt_tcpmss

I have a chrooted ftp user that I use on my server. I would like to run a cron job using this user that backs up my mySQL databases. When I execute the job, it complains about date and mysqldump not existing. I was able to fix the date problem simply by copying it from the actual /bin to the chrooted /bin. However, I can't simply copy mysqldump because it depends on several libraries. Anybody know how I can give this chrooted user access to commands that aren't in his chroot?

I've had this virtual server with Godaddy forever. I have about 52 websites on it. I was adding another and I walked through the registration process and forgot to click the save button. I then proceeded to the domain area of Godaddy to update the IP address. Now I can't add domains, delete dns settings, or update DNS settings without getting these kinds of messages:
Your URL: /dns/sync.do
Error details:

So! Godaddy has now had me upgrade my disk space to another 10gig, I've tunneled in with ssh and ran memhog to increase memory because they are suggesting that I'm too low on RAM and want me to purchase another server, I can't just ugrade. I've updated all the packages in my simple control panel.
I finally got an email from them after begging for help, because $75 an hour is just too much for me!
This is what I got:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting Server Support.
If this issue started after the modifications to the DNS of a domain, then it is likely that the DNS file or configuration has become corrupted. You can attempt to manually update or recreate the DNS file via SSH. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide assistance with the configuration of the server or modification of files. While you do have a lot of domain names added to the server, a backup of the content and reprovision of the server will reset the server to the default settings. However, this will remove all content and require that you re-add all domains and content once again.
I have backed up all my sites and databases, but to start all over again is a horrific thought. I can't imagine the nightmare.

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.

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?

If you had to chose either Host Gator or Hawk Host which would you go with and why? Don't bring any other hosts into consideration just compare these two. This would be for a standard website, forum, and a few downloads if it makes a difference...nothing too fancy.

I have just made a personal website using photoshop, html, css and php. My site contains an index page, a gallery page with 8 photos, a contact page with a form and an extra page with some quotes. I am planning to use a paid host for the first time. Based on feedbacks from some of my sitepoint friends, I decided to go in for shared hosting. I thought of using Hostdogs.com as they have the option of a monthly billing cycle. I thought that I have the option of changing my host after a month if I am not happy with them. I have also read a lot about Hostgator.com. A lot of sitepoint members seem hooked to it.
1. Can anyone give an opinion as to which host I should go in for? Hostdogs also give a free domain. Is there any reason I should go in for Hostgator instead of Hostdogs?
2. One more question, I have heard that once I have a site running, I can earn money through the advertisements placed on it? How do I place advertisements on my site?
3. One last and very important question is whether it is right to go in for shared hosting at this point of time. I just read this
Quote:
When you look for a suitable host, be sure to check out the amount of bandwidth that will be available to your site. Even a site that doesn't require a great deal of data transfer per month could run slowly if you're hosted on a shared server; particularly if you are on the same server as a more popular or bandwidth-intensive site.
The more sites hosted on a server, the more likely they are to compete with each other for available resources, including bandwidth. This is why you may notice a reduction in server response times during busy periods, or during a sudden peak in traffic at a busier site on a server that you share.
This made me wonder whether I should go in for shared hosting. But then mine is a personal home page which may not have so much of traffic.
4. What does the paragraph below mean? How does one handle ones registration manually?
Self-Management (no cost)
Select this option if you prefer to handle your registration manually.Your web host can establish service with any Top-Level Domain (TLD), international or domestic.

I will be setting up a site which uses ASP.NET 1.1. I know versions 3.0/3.5 are available, but they are not yet V2.0 compliant. Anyway thst is not the issue - just context.
Would like your advice as to whether it would be better to host this site with a company who looks as though they are specialising in ASP; such as DiscountASP, or Softsyhosting, or go with a general Windows hoster such as Steadfast, Fluidhosting, or 3Essentials?
I know nothing about ASP, so I don't know whether it is not at all neccessary to have a host specifically knowledgable about it, as I am unlikely to ever have problems with it, OR; I will most certainly have to address ASP issues sometime, so it would be essential to have support who really knows ASP.

I got the beta of vis studio 2005 about a month ago and happily started coding away. I recently told my host to convert to asp.net 2.0 so I could upload the stuff and have it work and he said he couldnt until the non beta comes out.
Is there anyone out there at the moment who will host asp.net 2.0?

I just want to ask the community of WHT a series of questions about shared and reseller hosting and what you would like out of a shared/reseller host.
What do you look for in a web host (in terms of shared and reseller hosting).
Do you prefer cheap "unlimited" and "unmetered" plans?
Would you like support through live chat, phone, or helpdesk?
What kind of price range would you consider reasonable for a shared hosting plan? a reseller plan?
Would a community forum with support staff and other clients be a plus to you?
Does the site's design and the software it utilizes be a concern to you?
In your opinion, what would make you choose a specific web hosting company over any other?

Is there any disadvantages to hosting on a US based host? When I'm currently in the UK, I'm planning on a website with a huge amount of content, and so far only the US hosts seem to offer enough bandwidth for the price? I've checked out a lot of UK Hosts but they all seem to be considerably lower than the US bandwidths.

I have been with a lot of web hosting providers and I even gave my experiences a few days ago with heart internet, but 'JUST HOST' justhost.com rocks!! Can you imagine, I tried calling them and lines were busy, and submiitted a form online asking them to call, and I was called in under 3 minutes. The servers are fast, I uploaded my entire website in a few minutes. And what they offer for £3.95p/m is just unbelievable.They even offer a free domain, but make sure you claim it at point of buying or you cannot do this after.

I'm currently on a VPS server at JaguarPC. In 1 week time I upgraded my account from shared hosting, to semi-dedicated hosting and then to VPS because my script was affecting other users on the server. I always thought that a VPS is like a server. With this I mean that I thought that I will be the only one affected if my scripts are using too many resources. But I was just informed by JaguarPC that users on a VPS server can affect each other.
I'm currently looking around to see if there are any reliable VPS host out there where my performance is not affected by my neighbors, and the performance of my neighbors not affected be me? Are there VPS hosts like this out there?

after all the frustration with the previous host. time to find a new on.
i got more than 10 sites but less than 20. all in asp.net + sql, there are all online-stores. thus i do want a account which can host all my sites(domains), regarding the space, 1~5 GB total is good enough. i don't think i need those 300GB - well, if it's, why not. The host should be fast and stable...

This is a big company, that offers a lot of features for a relatively small price (with discounts readily available). They have a positive image. Customer service seems cheery. Unlimited storage and bandwidth is a definite plus. I signed up with them in November 2008, and mostly did not encounter problems with them until late July other than slow server access via my base from South America. Sign up and set up went relatively smooth. I had no major problems other than my page loading slowly, which I partly improved by making several adjustments to my Joomla site, but even after optimization the page still has its moments of slowness.
In an earlier post in this forum, I detailed the first issues. There were two main problems: one, my articles pages were showing up blank in PhP5, and two, I was unable to enter my Joomla Administrator at times. On the first issue, it turned out partly due to PhP5 not performing properly, and later, a plugin that should have been de-activated. The second issue, am still not sure, and its happening again.
One week ago, after just a few precious days of my site functioning normally, the bad luck poured on further still. I was hit this time by the NobodyCoder hacker. What an incredible coincidence of bad luck! Made me wonder, given the tone of some of my prior complaints, but then I did see that other Lunarpage customers were also hit on the same day as me, and some of them, on the same server.
Two days after the hacker struck, and no response to my emails, I finally got someone from Lunar to give me some time after I complained publicly in their forum page. A customer service supervisor took the unprecedented step of calling me.
First, though Lunarpages harps on its customers being at fault, through faulty scripts and such, I learned of some security measures that Lunarpages fails to inform its customers about that could conceivably help with such issues -- especially on shared servers -- such as the really helpful step of activating "suphp." When we were talking, the customer service rep was inside my Cpanel and I asked him if he would go ahead and make that change for me. He said he would do that, and that he was doing so while we talked. I was disappointed to see after the conversation that he had lied to me and had not make that change for me. Beyond this blatant display of dishonesty, I moreover pointed out to the customer service rep that I had read mod_security for Apache should be activated and configured -- he assured me that it was. I looked after our conversationm it in fact wasn't and that there was nothing about this to be found in their Knowledge base.
Concerning the hacker who messed up my site, it appears that multiple sites have been hit, particularly on my server. The customer service rep rightly agreed with me that this hack is obviously not targeting sites individually but sending it out en masse via a robot or program. Given that, and that many sites on my server have been hit, it would appear the hacker has found a way to exploit sites on their server (s). However, the response from Lunarpages support people again has so far has been mainly to tell people to do virus scans of their computers and change passwords, all of which helpful but likely don't do much to tackle the real issue.
The net result is that while the security issue appears to have been a broader, server wide security breakdown, the Lunarpages company has sidestepped any responsibility in the matter and done little to help customers get out of this mess. One wonders if it will happen again once my site goes back online (because of their slow server it took me about 3 days to upload the backup.) In general, though their customer service reps are generally polite, they react slowly to customer issues and often are completely ineffective.
I am looking for a new web host.
