I have an Architecture/Interior Design firm and send lots of emails and CAD and photo files. I am designing a website and having it hosted for the first time. (I know...I know...I should have done it long ago..) I have read tons of articles on web hosting.
The website will be lots of photos (thumbnails to be enlarged possibly), text.
Has anyone heard of Inmotion? (web hosting company) They seem to have what I am looking for at a decent price and have gotten some good reviews (but I don't know if those reviews are sponsored by someone).
I work on a Macbook Pro and am looking into creating the website on iWeb....
Just tried contacting Innohosting in a variety of ways for some questions and no one is available....I'm taking this as a bad sign....I'd like a good webhost with RVsitebuilder and fantastico..
I have gotten my server configured and running, and have been advised to look into creating virtual hosts for each site, I have found good information on setting virtual hosts within postfix, but does anyone have any good reading on configuring Apache2?
I only have one site I intend to host in the immediacy, but I'd like to host multiples eventually.
I'm thinking about colocating in Milwaukee, purchasing a rack over at the Cogent facility to resell and was faced with a problem. The problem is, to some people, a rather simple one. How can a reseller sell their servers when competition sells their services for unlimited space, bandwidth, domains, sub-domains and such for only $1/month?
I've done the math I could with the information provided to me but am not able to get around the above problem. I can see why some users go to this type of service though. A lot of websites don't even need more than what these sellers offer, and with good reason.
Usually that person only uses 10MB of space and 10GB of transfer.
To break even on hosting, I would have to be able to sell 12 servers at $169 each. Our hardware would be fairly new, capable of whatever you want it to do, short of cutting your lawn, clipping your toenails and what have you, all with 5mbps standard port connectivity inside a 1u case. Obviously you can upgrade the port speeds, drives or whatever else you need in it. This is to snag users into coming with us. Bigger guys charge much more per month for higher end hardware.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is simple. Is it even worth it? Are there users out there who are happy and able to put down $100+ a month for a dedicated server? I'm willing to expand our current services to this type of offering, but I need your input based on your experiences on what you think will end up happening.
I have been contracted to resolve an issue for a Plesk installation. This installation in particular is receiving the 'no input file specified' error when attempting to access Horde webmail, and I believe it is because:
IIS is in FastCGI mode (as expected) Permissions are not allowing php to execute out of the expected path.
PHP is working for all other domains (there are multiple) on this account, it is just the horde PHP that is not functional.
I have tried contacting Skype support but received no answer.
I have tried running the commands --fix-webmail that were suggested in other threads, but they have no effect.
I am running a SQL test server here that is piping HUGE amounts of data for a test project I am running.
Approximately 30 queries a second - constantly. That's over 2.5M queries a day -- so we are talking big (I think?)
I am currently running this test on a
AMD Phenom 9300, 4GB RAM - SATA 500GB HDD and I am running MySQL 5.0.51a i386 on CentOS
I have programmed a process control for our applications purpose - basically it controls the launching of our SQL intense applications, and stops launching when the Load is greater than 2.5
I have plans to optimize the number of queries (I will build in a cache to some of the applications - and run INSERT statements all together) however I am looking for SQL tweaks that will improve performance. Would running the 64bit version work better?
After peeking around at this board for some years, I decided to create an account.
I'm the original author of Rootkit Hunter and decided to create a new tool, named Lynis.
Lynis is an auditing tool for Unix (Linux, BSD and other). It scans the system and available software to detect security issues, bad/insecure configuration options and unsafe file(s) permissions. It tries to assist administrators in using and maintaining best practices, but also in the common things which get forgotten (like expired SSL certificates).
Though Lynis has been available for some months now, and many updates/suggestions have been implemented, it still can use a broader user base. So my issue (we are in the technical issues section after all) is that I like more input and want to know what other people audit on their systems. Or what tools they like the most. Of course I have many ideas myself, but with the many different people here (in skills and specialties), every input is most likely improving the tool and increasing security for others as well.
In case you like to try the software (GPL, free to use), the software can be found at www . rootkit .nl (can't use URL's yet, due 5 post policy)
Since I don't only want to announce my tool (but like to have some input), I placed it in this section, hope it doesn't look like a "commercial" sell.
I just got a Dell 1600SC dual xeon 2.8 from the Planet with a Dell DRAC3 remote access card. In my RHEL3 system this hardware combination works great, but in the new RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 system the DRAC accepts no keyboard input after RHEL5 loads, thus making it impossible to login to the OS through the drac remote console redirect. Tech support suggested it was because the RedHat Enterprise 5 and CentOS5 kernel does not load the PS/2 keyboard driver which is required for the Drac3 to accept keyboard input. (a drac4 works, but that's not an option for this server I would guess.)
At tech support's suggestion, I added atkbd.set=2 to the /boot/grub/grub.conf file rebooting had no change - still text input to enter the bios, but no text input to login to the OS. I also added serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 -word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal --timeout=2 serial console which I saw in /etc/grub.conf (which is not linked to /boot/grub/grub.conf but instead a separate file) but still no luck - no keyboard input accepted through the drac3 remote console to login to the os through the drac console redirect.
Has anyone solved this hardware/software combination? Or is RHEL5 simply not going to be backwards compatible with the Dell DRAC3 hardware?
Any ideas, suggestions, or solutions would be greatly appreciated as I've been working on getting a solution for this for a week now and no closer at this point.
I would really like to have the DRAC as a backup connection with my server incase any firewall or software update issue ever prevents me from connecting via ssh. I hate to have roll back to an older OS though to get it. I'm stuck.
anyone knows what's my best action here? unmount /home and fsck it? or shutdown the server and replace a drive? (but, from this error message, I couldn't guess which drive is it... also, the 3dm raid monitoring didn't find any problem, so maybe it's the controller?)
Every day we get a couple off Parallels.Diagnostics.RRD.RrdStorageProvider errors:

We are running a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise server with the latest Plesk 11.5.30 update 16.
I'm planning to launch an e-commerce website for photo and gift printing. I went on Google and found a few websites having Top 10 web hosting companies information. I am really confuse which one is the best for my website.
I'm not sure how many users and traffic the website will get and don't want to pay extra $$$s for VPS or dedicated servers
I am working on building another hosting companies which I will be hosting VPSs as well.
I am asking this from a customers opion.
with each plan should it be an = shared amount of the processor or should each person have a dedicated amount? For example say you got duel quadcore processors running 3ghz which would = like 24ghz total correct? Say you have 16 VPS on 1 server each getting roughly 1.5Ghz.
Ive done a few whois searches on some of our competitors websites. In the registrar details it has our competitors name as the Registrar and as the nameservers. How can we do this? so for example if someone did a whois on our clients websites, they would see something like this:
Registrar: OurCompany Ltd [Tag = OurCompany]
Name servers: ns1.OurCompany.co.uk ns2.OurCompany.co.uk
Do we need our own nameservers and dedicated server? We've just bought an account with openSRS so we buy our domains through them (if that makes a difference).
