How long does it normally take to get a shared account setup with a hosting provider? I am now in my 5th day and still have not had the account setup. I have made my DNS changes and I just keep getting email responses that it is coming. Should I be worried or is a week the normal response time in a shared environment?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI recently read around here and people had their VPS setup within 5 minutes in some cases. I've ordered a VPS from VirPus and I'm not sure how long it usually takes to setup. I'm nearing the 24 hour mark so I'm not sure. How long on average is an acceptable waiting time? or how long would you say it should take?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm curious, how do you all Cpanel server owners setup reseller accounts for clients? I find myself doing it this way (providing 2 static IP's, for ns1/ns2)
1. create reseller account
2. ssh > edit nameserverips and manually add ns1/ns2 to the two select IP's of choice
3. change account IP to first main static IP, in whm
Any one else do it this way, or another method? I use WHMCS also, which creates the account automatically, but I have to edit nameserverips and appy ns1/ns2 manually in whm (A dns zone) manually.
Also, I'm wanting to upgrade some of the PHP 4 / MYSQL 4 boxes to PHP 5 / MYSQL 5. Is it worth it, or not? If yes, what methods could I use to assure no side effects for some clients' scripts, or at least some method to help them should an issue arise?
Someone setup a phishing site at gmail-webhost.com on my server.
He set up using the root account.
Since then I changed my root password. Do you think there's a chance he installed some back door that he can access root again even though I change the root password?
I do not have control panel, I have suse OS, how do I setup an account manually so I can move my site to this new server?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm running Cpanel 11 Release (stage 2) and i was wondering if you can setup WHM so that when an account is created, it automatically has:
A default generic SPF record
suphp_ConfigPath set for custom php.ini (/home/username/php.ini)
Custom session.save_path for php (/home/username/tmp)
Create /home/username/tmp folder
I think thats about it for now. Any ideas? I know about zone templates, but they dont seem to fit this bill. They might work for the SPF records though.
Whats the turnaround time for liqudweb? They had called me and confirmed my account is verified but thats more than 14 hrs back and yet no sign of getting information about the new account setup.

Our domain is hosted with a cPanel based shared hosting company only for website.
We have an Exchange 2003 server that is assigned with two dedicated IP's provided by our ISP with rDNS configured. So all outgoing emails are send using these two ISP lines and all works fine.
Since we are going to change the ISP, and the new ISP is refusing to set rDNS we are going to use our cPanel based shared hosting account to send our mails - so we will be configuring our Exhcnage 2003 to [smarthost] to forward all the emails to the hosting server.
I need to what I have to do in the cPanel account to make this work.
I have a VPS server now with 1and1.com (no wait times with tech support, and very friendly and helpful), only problem is... they haven't been able to help me resolve one of my problems.
My client has their domain registered with Network Solutions. I've already changed the DNS settings to point to my VPS where I've created the domain within Plesk. I can log into my FTP, change the site, yadda yadda yadda just like any other site. So everything works there!
Now, when I create an email account in Plesk I put in my user/pass etc... and create an email account... Great, awesome.
I go into Outlook and put in the email information, incoming/outgoing mail settings, user/pass, etc... and nothing works... It pops up and pretty much nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong for this to not work? Do I have to create a sub domain within Plesk for my domain? If so, I've already done that.
Must I change something over at Network Solutions to reflect the mail server? If so, I've added the MX records of mail.mydomain.com with prio of 10.
What is up? What am I doing wrong? :-(
Client is getting frustrated and I'm lost!
I'll keep everyone posted on the outcome :-)
I have a VPS account with WHM/Cpanel console access. I have three domains that I am trying to setup. Within WHM I have setup three different accounts, one for each domain. I am able to login to the cPanel for all three accounts. This also created a new web directory for each domain in /home/domain_name/public_html/. I have placed my default index.php in all three public_html with the same permissions. But only 1 domain is working the other two are not. What am I missing? I have confirmed that all three have the correct DNS servers with godaddy and I can do an nslookup on all three. My provider told me to share the IP so that is what I am configured as..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a virtual dedicated server which i currently host a couple of clients websites on, the control panel i am using is Simple Control Panel.
What i would like is an automated program or script that automatically sets up a users FTP access and creates a directory with a mysql database - I also require it to bill the customer on a monthly basis and if no payment is received from the customer the account then goes offline (but is not deleted)

please tell how can fix this error ?

Not sure if I labeled that correctly, but I am looking to setup a multi-server where I offer a cloud ssd hosting plan, and sata hosting plan. The current setup has ssd hosting, but id like to add another ip address, as well as its hard drive to host other websites on that specific server, which is sata based.
For example, I add a domain to my plesk 12 admin account and choose the added Ip address (the sata based one), where it points to that server to access the files for that specific website.
At the moment, cloudflare handles all of my dns settings.. but I am totally lost on how this needs to be setup and if I am required to purchase another plesk license. I am trying to avoid purchasing another plesk license and having to setup a whole new plesk installation just to do this.. This is a vps by the way, not a dedicated server...
I registered a domain name and setup a Linux server on GoDaddy, choosing Plesk panel with Power Pack. Inside the panel I created an email address, which I can access from the webmail interface without problems. I decided to setup my clients as well, using the IMAP configuration, as I'm using multiple devices.
I followed the instructions for Outlook express and I was able to setup the account on my virtual machine, with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail.Though, speaking of the host machine, a MacBook Pro, I normally use Apple Mail that comes with MacOS. Instructions for setting up Mail are updated back to Snow Leopard at least and they do not work properly. I tried various configurations, but I was only able to receive mail on the account, while sending won't work at all.
I'd like Parallels to update the guide or, at least, to open a KB page with the solution(s) to this issue: I googled it and found out that it is a common issue.
Signed up and paid the first month for a 'Linux Entry' + 1 GB mySQL around 4:45PM today. It's now 11:21PM and I have not heard anything or received any Emails for remote access. Does it usually take this long?
Reading thru this site they seemed to be one of the best if your on a $30/month budget.
Maybe setting up the Linux stuff takes longer for them than Windows?
root@server [~]# replace ns3.host.com ns1.host.com -- /var/named/*
-bash: /usr/bin/replace: Argument list too long
How can I work past this?
Using Centos 4.5 / cpanel
If you have a vps, how long does the 'burst' actually last?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAs my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice
Had a problem whereby the best solution was to ask support to restore my VPS from the Virtuozo backup.
It has now been 2 days and no idea when it will complete.
Seems excessive, or something wrong, but support just say "It is not uncommon for restores to take this long with the backup software we are using".
Just wondering, have any of you ever needed to ask support to restore from backup, and how long did it take?
The amount of data is approx 30GB.
I just signed up with a new host. How long should I expect it to transfer sites through WHM? I know it depends on the size of the sites but how long does the average 100M site?

I have a server running SUSE. dual quad core chips, 16 gigs of RAM.
It's a webserver only running Apache.
We have been having a problem the past few days where page loads take forever yet CPU load and RAM load are very, very low.
I've noticed when it happens when viewing HTOP that TASKS jump from about 350 average to 1000 average. Pages won't start loading until this number drops.
I see no errors in error_log or messages however restarting Apache seems to fix the issue?
I've tried messing around with KEEPALIVE settings with no help.
Any clues on where to start? Pretty lost on this one becuase I see no errors and the load both CPU and RAM are low.
I am rebuilding Apache on my server.

I am using Servint and I am looking for another provider with similar reputation/reliability. I have heard many good things about Zone.net on this forum, but they don't have any reviews older than a few months. Have they been around long, if so, why no early posts?
