I have confused in these notions a little bit - Guaranteed RAM and Burstable RAM. What is the difference between them? I have found that in the VPS hosting from ServerPoint.com.
I was wondering if this is an unmetered plan or if it is just the connection for the bandwidth someone is offering.
For example, if a company is offering 4000gb of bandwidth, but I upgrade to 20MBPS HIGH-USAGE (DEDICATED/GUARANTEED), is this just the connection for the 4000gb or is this a dedicated "unmetered" plan.
I currently have the SilverVS package from RoseHosting: [url]
With this specification, I also have DirectAdmin running and my website is www.christianforumsite.com (A forum)
So far, It's really good but there are some hourly lag times and two very very short downtimes in a few months time span. RH told me that my site had a high memory usage and that I might have to upgrade it.
So my questions are:
1. Could forums take a lot of memory and force the OS to kill some processes. In my case the forum is active but it not like huge community. Traffic report on alexa: [url]
It appears on top if you search for christian forum or christian forums, so the bots might be doing some damage too. Also I am using DirectAdmin with the lowest plan.
2. Could upgrading to the next VPS plan make the site noticeably faster and eliminate the lag times I've been experiencing?
3. What specifically (RAM guaranteed/burstable, discspace) should be high in case of a growing forum. Any other recommendation?
I have noticed that most "reputable" VPS providers state both guaranteed and burst amount of RAM. However there also seems like plenty that only advertise burstable (looks better in the ad, I know) no matter how closely I look over the details.
For a Virtuozzo based VPS, is the guaranteed amount of ram something that must be specified? Or can it be configured for some sort of free for all burstable only accounts?
What I am wondering is if there is any good reason why a host would NOT tell me how much guaranteed RAM I would get?
In 3 weeks I'm launching a service that will stream about 5TB of music per day.
I currently use Rackspace Mosso cloud, which can get quite expensive for such massive traffic.
After a talk with my dev team, they told me that the 100mbps dedicated unmetered that some providers like ThePlanet or Rackspace advertise might not guarantee the speed until the end-user. That the speed is guaranteed until just outside their hosting facility or backbone and after that it's just pooled bandwith.
i install APF and RUN to Server i don`t know my APF is Coorect or no!
root@server [/]# apf -t APF Status Log: Feb 01 01:57:54 server apf(11506): firewall initalized Feb 01 01:57:54 server apf(11565): {glob} default (ingress) input drop Feb 01 01:57:54 server apf(11565): {glob} default (egress) output drop
DigBuddy is an email deliverability and MX monitoring service. Customers sign up and input all of the email addresses at their domain and our monitoring system will check to make sure that these email addresses are able to receive email by logging in and attempting to send an email without actually sending one. It also checks the DNS, SPF records and a bunch of other stuff so our clients can be assured that they are able to send and receive email to a variety of networks without issue.
We need to set up monitoring servers on a number of networks across a number of countries that can be used to send and receive email. Basically all we need is a VPS with 512mb of ram and 19 IP's. It also must have an unblocked SMTP port 25 and the IP's must have a neutral or better senderbase score. We also need to make sure that the IP's have proper forward and reverse DNS entries.
I am in the process of setting up my server and have come to the stage where I am uploading my actual website scripts and files. I am a little confused however as to what permissions and file/directory ownership my website files should be set to.
My web root is set to 755 (rwx/r-x/r-x) with Owner as root, and Group as root. All files within the web root are set to 744 (rwx/r--/r--) with the owner and group the same as the web root. The permissions set allow php scripts to function but I am not sure if the group should be set to root on all these files, is this correct?
My site users have no ftp access if that makes any difference to ownership.
ERROR: One or more of your nameservers reports that it is an open DNS server. This usually means that anyone in the world can query it for domains it is not authoritative for (it is possible that the DNS server advertises that it does recursive lookups when it does not, but that shouldn't happen). This can cause an excessive load on your DNS server. Also, it is strongly discouraged to have a DNS server be both authoritative for your domain and be recursive (even if it is not open), due to the potential for cache poisoning (with no recursion, there is no cache, and it is impossible to poison it). Also, the bad guys could use your DNS server as part of an attack, by forging their IP address. Problem record(s) are:
Server 71.74.*.* reports that it will do recursive lookups. [test] Server 71.74.*.* reports that it will do recursive lookups. [test] See this page for info on closing open DNS servers. ---------------------------

I'm working on a young site that will be changing its focus and its domain name to reflect the new focus. What is the correct way to change the domain name? In the past, I've simply created a new site in WHM/cPanel under the new domain name and copied the old site (and database) over, which was a great deal of work. Is there another way to do it that is less time consuming - without having to copy files? Are you not able to just change the domain name setting in WHM without having to copy the entire site over to a new directory on the server?

I have two problems regarding Mailman Mailing Lists.
1) The Mailman Interface is usually located under lists.domain.tld/mailman (I changed the config from /cgi-bin/mailman/ to just /mailman/), but it seems the apache confs for this subdomain are not applied – I only see the servers default page when visiting this URL. domain.tld/mailman works, though. It would be great if lists.domain.tld/mailman would actually work and domain.tld/mailman wouldn't work.
How do I change/repair the configurations properly? I've installed the newest MU and already to reinstall mailman.
2) I get an Internal Server Error when visiting the domain.tld/mailman Interface. Reason is mod_suexec, which I need to disable for domain.tld/mailman, but where and how? All the vhost configurations are created automatically.
I could imagine this is related to my first problem and the mod_suexec thing is properly configured in the lists-subdomain config.
I would like to know how to check load via ssh and check files causing load?
I want the ssh codes for 2 different set of control panels, one with cpanel+whm and other with kloxo+hypervm
and I would also know how to check the files causing the load, such as some files could have been interrupted while processing, so they could be causing load some times, so I want to stop such processes if any are running on the vps on my friends accounts
A Wordpress install on one of my domains was compromised a few months ago, and there was a 4-hour window in which the site contained an iframe injection that lead to a malware site.
The problem was corrected, and Google stopped flagging the site as malicious within a few hours after the fix. However, every once in a while I still hear of people having problems accessing the site, all of them I think from within large corporate networks.
Are there a few common list providers that these corporate networks are likely to be subscribing to? Is there a way I can submit the domain for reevaluation? If not, how long would you think a domain would have to be clean in order to repair its reputation on these lists?
I have a client who will be pointing their domain to my reseller server. I have already setup the account on my server and made the appropriate DNS changes with their domain registrar - so the domain should be pointing to my server soon.
However, what is the normal procedure for migrating email accounts, without loosing mail?
When should they change email account settings?
Should they use their current settings until they get an error, or no longer receive mail, then change settings to match my server?
