How To Control VPS
Jun 19, 2008
I have VmWare VPS hosting, I just started and I have few questions. How can I see how much bandwidth each VPS consumes? How can I know if someone is doing illegal activities like spam, file sharing, IRC, etc.? I ask this because I give complete control over VPS to my customers so I don't have access to it, only thing I do is backup of whole VPS image on spare HDD, and network/hardware troubleshooting. So how to control whats happening on my VPS-es?

I would like to ask you what software I need to control VPS - stop it when it expires the owner's account and he must pay agan to use it.
Software must work with VMware, Solaris conteiners (xVM server), Virtuozzo and etc.
What software for billing the VPS can you recommend me?
Is there a second way to control the access to the VPSs? Can I install hardware firewall before the servers witch host VPSs and install billing software on that firewall so when the owner don't pay for the VPS the firewall cuts the access to the VPS.
in that case what software I have to use.

I'm up Games for Windows VPS servers with VMWare Server ESXi and wonders whether some option to control the traffic of each IP, I thought about using a "Cisco ASA 5500" but I do not know if it has this option:
Example:
IP 192.168.254.1 = 100GB monthly.
IP 192.168.254.2 = 50GB monthly.
Etc. ..

Xen control panel because I just got a server so I can try out using Xen instead of OpenVZ. Most of the control panel's that I've seen only support OpenVZ at this time. Would anyone be able to suggest a good panel that I could try out or look at?
I know HyperVM is one but can it be trusted as of now? I know that they have people working on it and there are no major hacks right now (at least not yet) but would it be suggested to use it?

I am tired of lxlabs. Bugs have been submitted, especially with Windows VPS, but lxhelp just ignores. If he could not fix, or doesn't have time to fix, he just ignores our requests without any reply.
So, I am looking for another control panel for Xen. I will need it to run on CentOS mostly. And able to create Windows VPS. I only know dtc, but it's built for Debian.

I seem to have the opposite problem of what most people complain about... I'm using some custom-built PHP scripts, the output of which is not getting cached. I want the output cached, because it doesn't change often.
If it's relevant, I'm using ob_start() to serve up a GZIP-compressed page.
I start off with a header("Cache-Control: maxage=3600, must-revalidate"). Yes, it's first, and yes, it's showing up properly in the browser.
However, requesting the page again returns an HTTP 200, not the 304 I'm expecting. It's pulling down the whole page again. It's not changing in between requests, and I'm simply visiting the URL again, not hitting Refresh. (Although it really shouldn't matter.)

I am running vps business and i would like to have your guys advice of which control panel to offer to all om my customers.
Most people leave my services only because they need to have simple control panel for their vps. So im looking for any commercial control panel which i can provide with all of my vps servers. Also It should not use more than 30Mb of ram and and shold not be a cpu hog.
Right now iam looking at ServerCP (as they have a deal when you can buy 100 for 69 dollars) but it needs about 128Mb of ram to function and its just too much.

I am going to setup a SSH tunnel or VPN connection through a VPS server, and want to share it with some friends (like 2-3), so I'd need some way to control the monthly bandwidth of each one.
Is there how to do this? Maybe directly with SSH or OpenVPN, or maybe with other software? It's simple like: 50 GB for each one in 1 month. I know it is complicated, because the IP's are dynamic, so maybe through user account? I have no idea on how to do this... Or maybe a analyzing utility, and later a script to block the user?

So we move to a new dedicated server company (I won't name) only to fine that our mission critical site that is used for customers software to report home to has an extra shared managed firewall on the network we can't access. Irate customers we have to find a new dedicated server company.
Does anyone know a managed dedicated server company in the US or UK infact anywhere that provide managed dedicated servers WITHOUT a firewall shared by a subnet/rack? Our customers can use the software we sell because of a firewall we can't access. cPanel is ideal.
Stress. www.rapidswitch.com in the UK were BRILLIANT but we wanted a full managed package.

I have got a dedicated server for me.
It is with fresh OS. I was wondering which FREE control panel should I install on it.
It is a 2.6Celeron with 512MB RAM (soon to be upgraded to 1GB) with Cent OS 5.
My concern is that if in future I am able to find a cheap directadmin external license then I would want to uninstall control panel and will use directadmin.
So i need advice on control panel:
Which is FREE
Can work for a website (dont need multi domain fancy stuff). Will only host single domain.
Can install apache / mysql / email etc.
Use apache NOT apache-light. I saw HostInABox but it uses apache-light which dont work well for my website features. Tested it in a VPS earlier.
Can uninstall cleanly if needed so that I dont have to reload OS in future inorder to install DA.
How about webmin or ispconfig.
Do they install easily and uninstall cleanly? I am not an expert but am learning quickly.

I'm on a reseller cPanel WHM account with shell access, and this public FTP for uploading maps for a game.
How do I ban FTP users by their IP? (.htaccess wouldn't do the trick)
How do I regulate priviledges/permissions of FTP users?
How do I control (like configuring how the indexing is displayed, for example) /public_html/somedirectory/ through /public_html/.htaccess?
How do I disallow certain filetypes from existing in /public_html/somedirectory/* or to be uploaded?
How do I disallow apache from rendering any html, php, cgi, java, perl, etc files in /public_html/somedirectory/*?
So, if you had a public FTP (not the "anonymous FTP" cPanel can create, but a regular and single user account shared by everyone), how would you protect your free map hosting service from abuse? What protections would you setup? Etc.

I've done some searches but, didn't find what I was looking for.
Which of WHM/CPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin requires the least memory to function in an adequate manner and what would that amount of memory approximately be?
If there is a significant difference between the three?

A contral panel like WHM costs extra about $5 and I want to save this, if I don't find out, why it makes sense for me. I know WHM and cpanel and I understand, that I need this for configuration as a reseller or customer to configure all, but with a VPS I have root-access. So why do I need a control panel with a VPS?

I'm setting up a system that is really stretching the limits of what FTP can do.
Right now, I have a repository of files that only certain accounts should see, so I have another folder (one for each user) with tons of links to their appropriate files. Now all users must accept some T&C before any downloads, so I'm doing a per-IP permission based on this acceptance.
I'd really like to do this with HTTP, but our clients like the speed and reliability (resuming) that FTP provides. Are there any other solutions out there? Any different technologies? Any other methods I haven't thought of?

I'm just starting to explore the idea of getting dedicated server or good VPS for hosting websites of clients I do php/sql programming for. I want to learn the right way, so I downloaded CentOS iso's and installed the operating system on an old computer, learned how to use yum to install the server software, set up virtual hosts, etc. I would like to give clients ftp access though honestly most of their sites will be hooked up to CMS, but sometime might arise where somebody just wants hosting and not programming. I would like to do without a control panel and try to do as much as possible from command line. For limiting site's bandwidth i found mod_cband. Anybody have expreience with that? Does it work as it is supposed to? Now I'm wondering how to put a quota on how much space client can use on disk, but after much searching haven't come up with an answer. Anybody have any idea how you are supposed to do that? And also, haven't looked into the FTP end of things, as I can't really test that right now on development server, but is it possible to manage FTP accounts solely from command line and editing config files? Whew...I guess that's it for now.

I am planning to buy a vps from photonvps (dont know when)and i cant afford the cPanel so in order i will ask them to install a free one. I wanted to ask you what is the best for someone coming from shared hosting. It has to be very simple and easy like cPanel
Also if you can, in your posts include a demo or images of the panel you suggest.

I am running a small hosting operation and would like to know more about SPAM filtering and controlling. SpamAssasin is installed on my server but it does not do much. I was looking into different solution with a anti-spam device and would like to know which one is recommended the most: sonicwall, barracuda or symantec? (total email addresses is less than at thousand)
