Urldownload.com, Still Strong After 4 Yrs
Mar 8, 2009Just joined and this is my first post. I wanted to give a reveiw of [url]from both a web-hosting and file-hosting provider.
I've been with urldownload.com for about 4 years and the service has been nothing short of excellent. What I love most about urldownload.com is that they don't throttle BW or start choking your service when you start really getting a lot of hits or x-fer rates.
I've been with other hosts and it never fails...they usually get you in on what seems to be an unbelievable service and a dirt-cheap price, but once you really start using them a lot the problems arise (host unavailable, BW exceeded, etc.) For reference here are my stats: [url]
Of the 4 years with urldownload.com I've experienced 4 outages lasting on average 20mins max (and the 20min one was for a hot-swap of a bad drive in their RAID -5 array), oh that make me feel so good that they use RAID 5! They also respond very quickly to tickets...but honestly, 4 times in 4 years...I don't even think about outages.
I highly recommend them. For reference my site, which is running on their servers is: [url]
Mid-level (1GB RAM) VPS With Strong Support
Dec 8, 2008My university runs a website to help students find rentals in the general area. We recently ran into some billing issues with our current VPS host, and we're trying to move to a new VPS.
I have some experience finding cheap VPSs (I use Slicehost for a 256MB RAM VPS), but this one has different requirements. Our current VPS provides us with 1GB of RAM, and we don't want to go below this. Also, the VPS we use gives great tech support to my boss (who only knows the very basics about technology). We'd also strongly prefer a VPS that comes with Cpanel.
Does anyone have any recommendations for other VPSs that meet these requirements?

Strong Dedicated Server With Ddos Protection
Feb 5, 2008We want buy something around:
2 x Xeon 2.8Ghz // good Core 2 Duo/Quad
2GB RAM // 3-4
150 GB SATA
And connection... normally we use around 15 Mb at peaks/day but recently we got attacking by DDoS above 100 Mb.
We need some true protection or resisting on port 1 Gbps before attackers got bored.
No protection via null routing (like 'the planet' like to 'protect').
staminus.net want 800$ for this/month. We can afford around 500$/month.

May 24, 2008I'd like to find strong hosting , protection DDoS 100Mb, with good price and support.
Any one able to protection DDoS 100Mb I hope he helps me.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Install Wordpress As Application Fails If Very Strong Password Policy

1. Select Server Management -> Tools & Settings -> Security -> Security Policy
2. Select (*) Very strong
3. Confirm with OK
4. Select Hosting Services -> Domains
2. Select Domain
3. Select Button Install Apps
4. Select Wordpress in All Available Applications
5. Select Install
6. Error message is shown!
Error: Installation of WordPress at http://lyl-canbys.de/blog failed. Your password is not complex enough. According to the server policy, the minimal password strength is Very strong. To improve the password strength, use numbers, upper and lower-case characters, and special characters like !,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,?,_,~
But the password was complex enough. with 20 numbers+charcters+special chars!
I i lower Plesks Security Policy to (*) Strong, the Wordpress installation works. But lowering Security with password length 8 is not desireable.

Rackspace Going Public
Jan 23, 2008I heard the other day from a very reliable source that this is a fact and they expect it to happen sooner rather than later. Since they seem to set the bar anyway seems it was only a matter of time. Anyone else aware of this or am I the only one? Searched the forum before I posted and nothing came up. Seems like a significant development to me...
View 14 Replies View RelatedWAMPserver In Public
Jan 21, 2008Im planning on using WAMPserver2 on our web server to host our website. Now, as far as I can tell, WAMPserver2 was mostly created to allow you to do work locally. Is there any known problem with using this software on a web server publically?
View 3 Replies View RelatedChange DNS To Public
Aug 6, 2008You are hosting your web site on a local server and you have the DNS pointing to the LOCAL (read: not public) IP on your LAN which means only you and those on your LOCAL network can access the site.
192.168.1.8 is a LOCAL (PRIVATE) IP.
Public FTP Control
Nov 4, 2007I'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.
Provider That Provides Public Ip Vlans?
Aug 8, 2008we are looking for a provider that provides public ip vlans' with dedicated server purchases,
so far,,
we have found few companies that offer this at no extra charge or minimal extra charge
1) softlayer (best choice)
2) singlehop
3) nocster/burst.net (not a good provider for business hosting / not reliable / no phone support)
does anyone know of any other dedicated server providers that offer public ip vlans for no extra charge or minimal extra charge?

Juniper SSG5 And Public IPs
Dec 19, 2007we have this Juniper SSG5 firewall, our very first Juniper and wanted to use it.
While I am able to use it in NAT mode, I have been unsuccessful to use it in route mode.
We have Public IPs from the same segment and I wanted to use it with the firewall but it appears that I can't assign IPs for each port if the IP is from the same segment.
Does it mean that we can't use it other than in NAT mode?
What we want to accomplish is to have one of IPs to act as gateway and filter or route in/out traffic to/from our other IPs.
Public & Private On Same Switch
May 1, 2007Due to an emergency with our colo space, we are missing a switch.
As a very temporary measure, would it be possible to put both our public traffic and private traffic (10.0.0.0/8) on the same switch without a VLAN?
Essentially we'd be connecting both the trusted and external side of our (natting) firewall to the same switch, along with our servers (which have private IP's).
What are the security risks of this?

SolarVPS Issues Public Thoughts
Jun 18, 2008I regret to bring this to a public forum but having seen that solarvps has a presence here I am hoping that a resolve to this issue can be found, and any public opinions are welcomed.
Having been a customer with solarvps since 2006 without any cause for concerns it does not make me happy with some recent issues I have had with them. So I have had a vps server hosted with them since 2006. Sometime in February when attempting to login to my VPS I got an error, I left it as this happens sometimes, it happened for 4 days in a row so I thought this is a little strange logged in to my control panel, to see no VPS server was listed under the account. There was no invoice generated either. Ok this is strange but I just assumed it had been terminated, no invoice came through and that particular server was a backup server so I sought hosting elsewhere.
4 months pass I get an email from solarvps stating my account is overdue with charges applied. I contact them back straight away asking what they are billing me for I have explained the situation time and again to them, I have asked the questions why the server disappeared from my account, why I wasn’t able to access the vps remotely and why no invoices got generated at the time to which I have had no response, I have asked more than 5 times now. The only response I keep getting form them is threats if I do not pay to hand over to a collection agency and the possibility of legal action. To which I have replied each time that I will contest any such action and seek legal advice myself.
Granted I should probably have contacted them at the time but really they are at fault more than I am for not asking them what has happened, I truly believe I am not in the wrong here but nobody within solarvps is prepared is looking at the facts of what has happened here.
Well anyway I hope bringing this to a public forum will bring a resolve and maybe some answers. I am getting no response from anybody within solarvps and would be happy to take this away from the public if they are willing.
I am not unfair nor does it make sense that a customer for so long would just decide not to pay you one month and kick up a fuss over such a small amount of money but the fact that I am not in the wrong with this matter, I am not prepared to pay them no matter how much bullying tactics they wish to adopt in trying to make me.
Is There Any Public Listed Web Hosting Companies

View 14 Replies View RelatedHosting A Public Email Service
May 10, 2007Currently we are running a very successful site for extreme sports. We have just spent 6 months on development of our new site which we will launch in a fortnight. This will free up some of my time to look at other areas and avenues to attract members.
Personally I would love to run a hotmail style service on our website, and believe this would help with the growth of our online community.
Just interested in advice from others on areas to be aware and alert when running a service like this?
I am also trying to make the decision between SocketMail or Atmail. If anyone has opinions on these, or an alternative solution i'm all for that advice too.
Basically at this point I am wanting to get as much advice together as possible, then look to making an informed decision to go ahead or not.
Currently we operate off a dedicated server and i realise this may have to become two servers in the near future with such a service. It is fully managed by myself, and a 3rd party individual I hire to maintain the server on a monthly basis.
Deny Perl In Public Folders
Mar 12, 2007How do you guys deny run of perl/bash scripts from /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm? I've tried to build simple shell wrapper, but that's not a compromise if you run for example spamassassin on the same server (it needs direct io to/from perl binary). I'm looking intro some kind of binary wrapper or patch that will deny running perl scripts from public folders (also the same for shell scripts will be great). Any ideas or solutions?
If anyone interested in primitive shell wrapper code:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
ARGS=`echo $@ | grep -v "/tmp/"`
if [ "$ARGS" != "" ]; then
/usr/bin/perl.orig $ARGS;

How To Access Hosting From A Public Place
Aug 8, 2007I often need to access my sites from public places, which are behind firewalls, don't have access to hard disk and any Windows tool (just plain internet access).
Problem: firewall, closed ports: 8082 (cPanel), 2078 (SSL; I don't know, if I'll need this), 2077 and maybe others.
Which hosting features I need? to be able to
1. access cpanel, when port 8082 is closed (I was using cpanelproxy.net until now with success).
2. for uploading files from other websites directly to my website (without prior downloading on a PC hard disc) - I've herad SSH should work, but what exact SSH I need - any experience someone? Any other solution? I was trying WEb Disc feature in cPanel11 but it needs port 2078 or 2077 open...

Procurve 2800 Vs. 2600 ~ Public Vs. Private
Dec 14, 2007The only main difference I see between 2848 (48 ports) and 2650 (48 ports) is the vast difference in thoroughput and switching capacity, 2848 (Throughput: Up to 69.8 mpps; Switching capacity: 96 Gbps) having a higher capacity and 2650 (Throughput: 10.1 million pps; Routing/switching capacity: 13.6 Gbps).
So now, if there is a public switch for http/ftp/ssh and private switch for backups and there are about 35 servers connected to each switch, does it make sense if I go with 2800 for the private switch and 2600 for the public?
The basis of my conclusion is that on a public port with limited bandwidth, a user cannot continuously push close to 100mbps for long before running out of bandwidth. But on a private switch where the user has unlimited bandwidth and can push 100mbps continuously for longer periods and some of the users on the private switch might also have 1gbps port access.
