I Recived The Server With 2GB Used Space, Is That Normal?
Feb 4, 2009
I reserved a private server on a company n I supposed to have 10GB of space, I recived it with about 2.4GB space used, I thought it's the system files, is that correct or the files shall be deleted?
im running out of space on one of my sites but i have more then plenty of data transfer.
Unfortunately my hosting packaged it weird where they provide not enough hd space. Im trying to figure out is there a way where i can use another server or hosting company that can provide space only and use their servers just for space?
i think amazon.com offered this but wasnt sure how exactly this works.
Hi over the last week ive been having numerous problems with hosting accounts on 2 different servers which has lead me to think that my 'security' is not 'secure' and a malicious user is at play. im in the uk on broadband on a private connection to the internet - no-one else should be sharing this connection. This is the traceroute from my connection at home to the server ive had the most problems with - is this normal?
a certain host I've been with for over 6 months now experiences what I would consider always very high server load. The server load is normally around 4-6ish, rarely below that. A few times a day it spikes to around 12ish, sometimes even more. The server has 4 cpus. Is this just some really big time overselling? They had downtime once for 2 days when a server crashed, and after that the server load has been really high, when before that it was normally around 1-2, and in the 0.50s
I have a webserver that our main two company websites reside on and this box also hosts ~50 other misc. websites. None of the websites on the server are very CPU intensive and bandwidth usage on the box is next to none.
Every morning around 4-6am the server takes forever to load anything. Seeing as this is when I do most of my work, I quickly become frustrated when trying to load our admin area, webmail, etc. Note that things do load, just very slowly...
I've contacted my tech a couple of times but he says this is normal as it's backups and stats running. I guess my question is, IS this normal? If so, is there a way to lessen the load at all?
Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal? Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know.
I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours.
I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly?
He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting.
Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone?
And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?
Does anyone know some russian company that rents out space in their serverrooms with more or less unlimted bandwith? I need about 2-5 gb/s for streaming. And prefereably some company thats not 2 friendly to USA...
I'm looking for a server with 3-4 TB of disk space and moderate traffic requirements (1.5-2 TB a month will suffice).
CPU, RAM do not really matter. Location: EU or US. Price: ~100 USD a month with some setup fee or ~120 USD without.
So far I found OVH's SP Storage (http://www.ovh.co.uk/individual/products/superplan_storage.xml) which offers 4 x 1.5 TB RAID0/1 drives for a total of 3 TB disk space. However I can't register with them and their sales did not react quickly enough yet to help me.
Is there anyone else with similar offerings with whom you have personal experience?
I have a debian4 server, and I've been playing around with apt adding different things I believe I'll need for this development box. Only today, I noticed that my disk sums doesn't seem to add up:
Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 26 208844+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 27 288 2104515 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda3 289 9729 75834832+ 83 Linux phpSysInfo Output: [url]
The HD is: hda: WDC WD800BB-00DKA0 (Capacity: 74.53 GB)
As you can see, I have used approximately 1.4GB of the 74GB, but regardless what kind of funky math I do, I seem to be missing about 3.5 GB or so. I know there might be 2GB as swap (which I'm not seeing listed, but it should be on a different partition not listed so it should be fine), even then, where's the remainder 1.5G
We are going to offer web space to our students and we want to build a new server just for this purpose. We were looking at buying a storage array, a RAID card, and a server. I have no problems building a server; however, I have never built anything with an external enclosure. I am thinking about buying this storage array:
In light of whats happened at the Planet in Houston we are moving up our plans to have an external DNS nameserver (with failover) and emergency website to alert customers in the event of our data center (C4D in Dallas) ever goes down.
From all the forum messages reagrds this event its apparent that a lot of hosting companies are suffering the worst from having their support websites at the DC where they host their customers and have no way of notifying their customers of whats going on.
Looking to trade 1U of rack space and 1 ip address anywhere in US (Dallas preferred) with someone else who is looking for the same thing.
While we are extremely happy with C4D and have faith in their DC, you can never be 100% prepared for things beyond your control.
when i try to Terminate an Account this message appears
The /var partition on this server is running out of disk space. WHM operation has been temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system admin to remove any files not in use on that partition.
I had a client ask me earlier if there was any downsides to having his main site be SSL only ,not his billing his actual site.
For exmaple it would be https://www.yoursite.com rather than the normal http and having that redirect to the https.
Obviously he would need all his images being linked to https in order for it to be secure but apart from that, I couldn't think of any of the top of my head, I was wondering what you guys all thought.
I just uploaded a wordpress site and it already used up 300mb ram. The site receives very little traffic so I doubt the traffic is the cause of the ram usage. Is this normal? my control panel is webmin
