I am about to get a dedicated unmanaged server with Windows 2003 web edition. So far I am used to shared , VPS and home hosting but since the web edition doesn't have an active directory - how to configure the DNS server to point to my server machine or is this job of my host
View 1 RepliesI have some questions about Windows 2003. I have tested many different Windows VPS hosts and I have noticed that some of them offers Windows 2003 enterprise edition and some offers Datacenter edition. What is the difference between the two?
I remember that godaddy had datacenter ed and the vps I use now (eukhost) is using enterprise edition.
Any company rent Windows Server 2003 Web Edition ?
SPLA and External licenses ?

I wait your answerds.
I've been working on a large online browser game for the last year on and off - it's due to open for beta in Oct. This game is coded in PHP/AJAX with MySQL. It's quite heavy on different graphics with characters, items, illustrations etc. It will also have a selection of Flash games to play. Similar gaming sites have more than 1000 users online in peak hours and we estimate that and more within the first 3-5 months of opening.
I want to open my site on a Windows Server as I'm a lot more familiar with Windows (Having an MCP for Windows Server 2003). I am unsure however what edition to go with. At first I thought Windows Server 2003 Web Edition (Being a website!), but this only supports up to 2gb of ram I believe? and may prove to be an issue if we need to upgrade due to the high demand of online users.
I understand I can have more than one server, but would you recommend another edition?
getting a dedicated server and wanted to know what the differences are between Windows 2003 Web and Standard editions?
to run some activeX DLL's I have compiled on one of my websites that will be hosted on the dedicated server - can I do this on the web edition?
I have an unmanaged Windows VPS and I want to host multiple sites (with different domains).
I was told that I should create my own private nameservers in order to do so.
I have allready installed DNS Server in the VPS but I cannot find a tutorial to help me configure the private nameservers.
The OS is Windows Server 2003. Please provide any good tutorials if you know.
I searched in Google but couldn't find any...
I was wondering if anyone know how the anon edition is suppose to look? Is it just like a regular edition? From what I read, it is an honor system where you trust the client not to break the license. Am I wrong here? Would there be anything built in to prevent a client from running authenticated softwares? built into the OS itself?

I noticed MS has lifted some of the restriction concerning the Web Server edition, it's like half the price of Standard.
I'm mainly going to be hosting a couple of separate web sites, run ASP.Net and PHP, along with some database servers (currently considering SQL Server Express and MySQL).
Email server is being considered, though our load isn't too great, it's just for a couple of friends and myself. We're also intending to run game servers off it (Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty series, etc.) on occasions.
Would the Web Server edition suffice for these? Or is it still technically limited/has license restrictions, and I will need at least the standard edition?
I may also intend to serve streaming windows Media files.
I have a dedicated server running windows web edition. What is the easiest way to set up a VPN server on this machine so that I can log in to it from my home connection and route all my traffic through my server.
I've found a few guides for setting this up on linux boxes, but not with windows.
Does it come with Hyper-V?
Pros?
Cons?
I was trying to bring down license fee for a customer who needed SQL Server on Windows Server.
realised that MS has released a fix to install the SQL Server 2005 on a Windows 2008 Web Edition.[url]
The license fee for the web edition is lower than the standard version.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was actually curious about this since Windows 2008 version came out.
What is the difference between Windows media services on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008?
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
Between our Linux servers, I can get speed up to 80Mbps when transferring big files. However, between Linux and Windows, it's just around 800Kbps - 2Mbps. It shows in network connection properties that connected at 100Mbps, but not sure why it's so slow
Is there any setting I should pay attention? Running Windows 2003 on that box.
I got dedicated server with Windows Server 2k3 OS and have not configured it yet. I've installed Serv-U and Apache 2 (PHP, MySQL will be the next step). But I can't open my Website from home (from server there is no problems). And I can't get into my FTP server either. I scanned ports from home to figure that out. 21 for FTP is seen. 80 http is not seen. However on the server I did "netstat -an" and it showed the port 80 listening. So why can't I reach my FTP server and open my site? Is the problem in Windows Server 2k3 configuration?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm making a reasonably uninformed comparison here. Since Windows Vista is noted to be more resource intensive and slower than Win XP, are we right in assuming that Windows 2008 is slower than Windows 2003?
For instance, with two boxes with an identical hardware setup but the two different server OSes, will the same application like, say MySQL run slower on the Win 2008 machine?
I am not using IIS and the built FTP server. Is ther other recommended FTP server to use in a windows 2008 dedicated server?

I've got a quite difficult problem which I don't know hoe to solve. We use a self created ISAPI module which is a "business server" running behind an Apache.
From time to time a client app crashes the server (the circumstances are not quite clear) - and because there is only one server process, all other clients crash as well. Here is an exemplary log of a crash:
Faulting application name: httpd.exe, version: 2.2.22.0, time stamp: 0x4f242d7a
Faulting module name: ABCServer.dll, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x53cfffa5

Exception code: 0xc00000fd means stack overflow as I learnt. Therefore we configured mpm_winnt_module to use a 8M ThreadStackSize but this didn't work.
A solution might be that Apache starts for every client its own server process with the module ABCServer.dll. Because it is quite small and there are not thousands of customers this sounds like the perfect solution. No other clients/customers would be affected by a crash.
Unfortunately mpm_winnt_module supports only 1 process AFAIK. Worker and Prefork MPM are not available in Apache's Windows version what I read.
How can we configure Apache to start a new module process per client?
Is there a way to configure the mailing lists created with Plesk (using MailEnable 6.5) using Plesk or another web interface like it is possible with mailman under Linux?
It is not very convenient to be required to do such stuff via RDP (and so manual by me for every customer)...
I wan to take backup of all accounts on weekly basis. Client should see weekly backup in his backup manager list.
How take backup of each account individuality.
Is there hosting that use windows xp rather than windows server 2003? What is the advantage of using windows server2003 anyway?
Most of the time I just need to run some programs that need huge bandwidth. If I want to host sites, I'll just use xamp.
I think windows xp license is cheaper.
Plesk Panel, 11.0.9, #61, Windows 2008 R2 SP1, x64
PROBLEM:
With reports configured to send out to an email address local on the Windows server configured through PLESK, if local relay isn't enabled at 127.0.0.1 on the SmarterMail server, the reports are never delivered.
- server is [domainx].com
- email to receive reports from PLESK is plesk444@[domainx].com
-this email address is able to send and receive internally or externally to and from any client w/ SMTP auth enabled.
If SmarterMail is configured with SMTP Authentication Bypass for 127.0.0.1, we get the scheduled report emails as we should. Without the SMTP Authentication Bypass enabled, none of the clients or administrators get any reports or notifications at all.
QUESTION: How can I configure PLESK Panel 11 itself to use that SMTP Authentication to send those reports out?
--is there a configuration file or registry value I can add or modify?
how to setup a vpn on windows 2003 web edition server?
I have setup ras, and letting me to login to the server using PPTP, but its not allowing me to route the Internet using the connection there.
I m having One NIC card, and as far i know its possible to route public network too.
I was contacted by a small company manager who want to setup an online common work place for his employees.
He needs a Windows server with the possibility for up to 10 users to connect remotly and share files and software.
Do you think that Windows 2003 is compulsory for such basic needs? I want to go with Windows XP because it is less expensive.
on the server I have ASP access sites and ASP with SQL server sites.
When I load the sites they are fast, but then after a random period of time, I click a link but the page just sits there saying waiting for host, I can refresh but no difference, then all of a sudden the site will start working again and be fast until the next time.
Does anyone know why the site can be fast then sort of just hang for a while and if so, any suggestions on fixing this would be brilliant.
Can I configure windows 2003 to use multiple IPs?? Is it necessary to have a separate ethernet connection for each IP? Loopback, does it help? What about Linux?
