I'm going to be ordering a new dedicated Linux server w/ cPanel/WHM and was wondering how one goes about determining which OS is best suited for their needs? The options I am given are below:
OS: CentOS Enterprise Linux, Version 4
OS: CentOS Enterprise Linux - x64, Version 4
OS: Centos Enterprise Linux, Version 5
OS: Centos Enterprise Linux - x86_64, Version 5
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Version 4
OS: Redhat Enterprise Linux - x64, Version 4
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Version 5
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux - x86_64, Version 5
This is a tough question cause the distro you choose makes all the difference.
So my question now is if your choices were:
Centos 4 or 5 (32bit or 64bit) Ubuntu (32bit) Debian (32bit)
which would you pick and why?
on a side note I believe that the distro that gets picked the most is the one that has the most servers and if someone were to pick one thats not favored by many then he/she may get a faster server cause there wont be so many VPSs on it. Correct in this assumption?
I noticed with every new cent os server there are different mirrors for cent os repos.Since on each cent os repo file is same,how does it pick which mirror it pick?I ask beacuse latest server has picked one extremly slow edu mirror which is not just slow,it also timeout,and it may extend update to 2 hours instead 5 minutes which usually will take.So how do i change base mirror on base cent os repo?
I've used two different shared hosts in the past. First host had little to no support and got slower and slower as time went on. Second host, has been fine for my personal blog and portfolio site, but the load time is way slow at certain times of the day.
How in the world do you find a shared host that is actually going to be fast? I know you don't want a host that is over-selling, but how do you know a host is overselling? I assume any host that is less than $10/mo and has unlimited everything is going to be oversold, but how do you find one that is going to be responsive. Trial and Error? I've been trying to read the reviews on sitepoint, but I feel like a lot of the time the reviewer is unaware of site load times.
I don't mind doing the research myself, but I can't figure out where to look or how to look.
All I want from my host is fast load times, all the time. I don't have huge traffic, I do have a lot of files, and it's very important when someone comes to my site it loads as fast as possible.
Obviously cheaper is nicer, but I don't mind spending a little extra to have a server that loads fast.
So, there is my example. I have two servers in different locations. First one is the main server with all the data and the second one has just simple notice like "We will be back soon".
Now, if I set the primary DNS server on main server and secondary DNS on second one (but with different A records), will users actually get the server two if main server is down?
Will this work or not? I want 100% access to the site, at least to the server with only notice (I don't need data from main server). I can set the round robin, but I don't need load balancing (actually I want access only main server), but just if main server is down to go on the second one.
Im setting up a website that will facilitate people to be able to upload and download files.
As you can imagine a lot of people will be downloading so i need unlimited bandwith.
Also require maybe 1tb of diskspace with the option to expand wen needed.
Im not sure how cpu intensive this is but if people can recommend me specs, companies i should be looking for with links that would be very much appreciated.
I am trying to install Magento on my apache server. I am running into the dreaded mcrypt issue as Magento needs it to run. I have now been googling for the past few hours and have gotten nowhere.
Here are my details:
Linux Centos 5.5 PHP 5.3.3 x86_64 Plesk 12
I have tried installing all sorts of different repos and it just isn't working.
When I try to install using # yum install php-mcrypt I get the following:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Package php-mysql is obsoleted by php-mysqlnd, trying to install php-mysqlnd-5.5.13-3.el5.remi.x86_64 instead --> Processing Dependency: php53-gd for package: psa-php53-configurator --> Processing Dependency: php53-imap for package: psa-php53-configurator
i am a wap develper(mobile web).I need a vps with 30-40 Gigs of space and about 200-250 Bandwidth with cpanel.my bugget is under $35 .Please suggest me one for these requirements.
and I was thinking of going from mpg to avi using ffmpeg. The problem is that swf to mpg ran up with an error. I was wondering if anyone know of the best way to proceed with this.
I am looking at linux vps due to money constraints. Ive had lots of experience with windows vps... its really simple, just use remote desktop .
Is there something similar for linux vps? Giving me a desktop like environment to mess around in? How does that work? Is there a tutorial on how to use one, transfer files, etc.
im talking about using windows XP to community to a linux vps.
To make ASP run under Linux, PHP script files are saved as ASP extensions and are redirected to the PHP interpreter. So it looks like the server serves ASP files, but these are actually PHP scripts.
Can anyone recommend a decent VPS place, need atleast decent ram for apache, mysql, xcache, php, 200 - 400 BW, for hosting about 2 websites. (need them on a separate machine from my others). Good connectivity matters since our users will be mainly from all over euorpe, USA and Russia and former Russian region.
I have Debian Etch 4.0 and am intending to run a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) installation on Debian.
I have setup AMP on windows boxes to run successfully. I have very good microsoft O/S skills but have vague skills around Linux which I need to learn quickly for my job. First of all I need to setup a LAMP installation so does anyone have a recommendation of a simple and easy LAMP installation step-by-step solution for me?
I have a dedicated Linux server with CentOS and Directadmin.
How do I get ASP.net on a Linux server, I only could find one that seems something about it, but I cant seem to understand how that will work, and how to install it YEP thats how smart I am.
I have recently purchased a GoDaddy Virtual Server running Fedora 7, with the Plesk Control Panel 8.3 installed - if I had remembered this site then I probably wouldn't have chosed GoDaddy, however my colleague runs a GoDaddy server and it works like a dream. I have only one domain on the site, running Boonex Dolphin 6.1. The site however runs EXCEPTIONALLY slow.
I have spoken with many friends that use Dolphin and they have no major issues. I also did a search on Google and found that there appear to be no major speed issues with Dolphin.
The site I am running is http://www.tkd-web.com
I wondered if some of you guys could take a look and let me know if it looks like a hosting issue or a scripting issue. Or what information do you need to know to find out the answer to this problem.
I would be really grateful to anyone that can even point me in the right direction, as I don't want to go off and start shouting the odds about GoDaddy etc, I just want to find the most effective solution to my issue.
I'm interested in having an unmanaged VPS with Ubuntu 7.1 or 8.04 installed (or available to Rebuild under the HyperVM) from the state of Missouri (should have at least some IPs already available from the region).
I am currently with a company operating out of the Netherlands, however for what I am spending I do not feel I am receiving timely responses to support tickets (I'm talking days with no reply, at all). So, I am looking to switch. My current budget is around $300 USD/mo, however, I can spend more if the deal is right.
I need a host that is not easily scared off by American DMCA take-down notices. Please understand, nothing I do is illegal. In fact, to be blunt, I write software for online games and charge a fee to users who wish to access my software. I was using dedicated hosts within the United States to satisfy my customer base, however, one particular company, Nexon America (just one of the companies whose online games I develop software for) more or less got me dropped by every host I went to. I host absolutely no copyrighted files of any kind, images, textual, video, or binary.
for a project i'm setting up a WDS server for rapid deployment of Windows 2008 servers. The information regarding WDS and automated deployments is clear for me.
The only, and probably biggest problem is how to configure the linux dhcp/pxe server to able to boot an image from the WDS to start the installation.
Unfortunately I haven't found much information about it.
I hope some one here can push me in the right direction.
I currently colocated at Chicago FDC Servers, OUTSTANDING BY THE WAY! Cheap too! But that is not my area of concern, since I already have a colocation, I was wondering if people could give me ideas what to do with it. I colocated because I found them, they offered me an affordable colocation.
I do not wish to host STEAM GAME SERVERs like counter strike.
If I had a ventrilo license, I could host a huge ventrilo, but I do not. Teamspeak is out of the question.
