Is Hosting On Vps Servers Are Stable
Well haven't managed hosting on vps machines yes so I am wondering that how much this type of machine suit for running a hosting business ? Very honestly I think that people use vps for temporary bases and later they move to individual servers. I will appreciate your opinion.

Are There Any Stable Cloud Hosting Options To Replace Dedicated Server?
I've got a dedicated server through Liquid Web. I can't say enough about how great the reliability and service has been since I switched over to them a number of months ago. Nevertheless, with the advent of cloud hosting, I'm intrigued by the idea of paying for what I actually use on a server rather than having way more capacity than I need 90% of the day. I've looked around here and there's a bit of talk about it but it doesn't seem like folks are scrambling into it and it also appears that the offereings are still relatively immature. I really don't have the time to devote to tweaking, etc or figuring out something really complicated. I'll stick to my dedicated server if it means tons of extra work or potential downtime or massive frustration but I wanted to get some feedback from the community about whether or not there are some stable cloud hosting options that are emerging that might be worth considering.

Windows VPS To Run ASP.NET 2.0 App: Managed And Must Be Stable
I need a Windows VPS to run ASP.NET 2.0 applications because my current provider is having some issues that keep my VPS down. As i am new to Windows hosting so i need a managed plan. Another thing is that it must be stable. I usually have VPSes with Knownhost and they are really stable ( just wish they offer windows vps ). I need something like them ( uptime > 99,99% ). What options do i have?

DMEHosting.com - > Worst VPS Hosting - They Dont Know How To Manage Servers
Ticket ID : #919385 --------------------------------------- We have serveral vps servers from dmehosting.com. I would say never choose dmehosting.com for your sites. A vps server is down for more than 14 hours and still down. They do not reply to my tickets. They do not inform about the issues. I had have many issues with them like 1 - 2 hours downtime but that's not really matter. Now the server is down for more than 14 hours and still not up. I have even asked them to transfer this vps server to another working node but they are not responding. DON'T CHOOSE DME HOSTING .COM FOR VPS SERVERS........IF YOU NEED HIGH UPTIME AND SECURE DATA.

Can't Run PHP Stable With Versions Above 5.0.3
Windows 2003 IIS6 PHP 5.0.3 and PHP 5.2.1 running with the ISAPI dll MySQL 5.1.11 I kind of have 2 problems, the first being the one in the thread title and the second is while running any version of php my main site experiences slowdowns and hangs. For some reason whenever I try to install a new version of PHP I have major problems. I have tried several times when new versions come out. I just recently tried the newest, 5.2.1, which I want to try and use, I think there are performance improvements for IIS and windows platform in the new 5.x versions? Anyway I can install 5.2.1 and get it running, and my sites load, but soon after my main site starts to hang, stops loading or loads extremely slow. I can't figure it out. I even tried using the exact same PHP.ini settings from my old working php install. So everytime I am forced to go back to the latest version that I know works with my server/sites, 5.0.3 [url] If I restart IIS the pages start loading fast again right after, even recycling the worker process that the site uses usualy makes the pages load normal again. I tried setting the worker process to recycle every 60min and to use 2 web gardens. These changes havn't really had any affect for better or worse. Downgrading back to PHP 5.0.3 seems to run a bit more stable, but even with this version I get these slowdowns now. I have been running my site(s) on this server for 3 years now and most of the time they have ran stable. -------------------------------------------------------- I was sleeping this morning and recieved a text-message saying the site wasn't loading. So I wake up and the site indeed was pretty much not loading at all. I look at permon that I left running to see this: [url] I give IIS a restart, which you can see above, then the levels go back to normal, here is a screen shot a couple minites later to what the "Current Connections" graph usualy looks like when the site loads fine. [url] During this slowdown the CPU usage was not maxing out, was maybe averaging 60% and ram was 50%. I am getting a 2nd server soon to off-load the MySQL to it and have it dedicated for that. But i don't think that will help this current issue. Here is the system resources when the site is loading fine: [url] I have around 40 or so other sites hosted on IIS and my main site "canadaka.net" which is purple on the top graph, is the only one that hangs or slowsdown. When this slowdown happens to this site, all the other sites on IIS, which are on a seperate worker process, continue to load fine. I can't figure out why these slowdowns are happening.

Hardware: Db Servers, Web Servers, File Servers. Cpu, Ram, Disk
I have a lot of questions here so if you can't answer them all I understand. even pointing me somewhere where I could get the answers would be appreciated; hardware sites focusing on server hardware, forums focusing on such, etc. we plan to have three different types of servers: - db server (self explanatory. mysql. for forums, mysql driven sites.) - file server (lots of files around ~2-10MB, consistant 70mbps right now, but we want more room for upgrades. needs a LOT of storage room.) - web server (lots of php files, but also static things like plain html, images, etc. also includes all misc services for the setup-- dns, etc.) could I be given a rundown for which hardware each of the three should have? I don't need specifics, even just knowing that more ram is important here while cpu doesn't matter as much, or that the fastest disks available are a must, etc would all be valuable info for me. despite that, I certainly wouldn't mind specific hypothetical hardware configs. for the database server I'm assuming the more ram the better. not entirely sure about the cpu? also not positive on disks... for the fileserver, how much ram would be practical or useful? disk io will be an issue I'm because plenty of people will be pulling files at once so the disk needs to read from multiple places. scsi (and even raptors) are not an option as we need 750GB+ of space on a reasonable budget. more ram will take some load of of the disks, but how much is neccessary / reasonable? for the web server I'm assuming cpu first, then ram, but it'll likely need less ram than the db server? I'm more lost on the disks than anything. scsi on the fileserver is not an option under any circumstances due to $/GB. for the db & web server I'm willing to pay for scsi if the performance increase really does warrant the extra money, but I'd like to be convinced before shelling it out. if you have benchmarks geared at server hardware when it comes to disks I'd really appreciate it. also, what's the best way to network these together when colocated? each one with a dual gigabit ethernet port and then the communications go to and from the router?

Viability Of Hosting Own Servers
For a small business where there is no colocation facility within any reasonable distance, who needs to host an application on ~5-10 servers in total, would such businesses simply be out of luck - or could they self-host their servers? What are the reasonable alternatives to colocation? Getting a colocation facility in a different city wouldn't be an option. Neither would going with dedicated/managed hosting (because the business has its own servers and the in-house resources to administer them). What is the viability of creating your own mini "data center" - by this I don't mean anything like a real data center, but just someplace where you could host 5-10 servers? Perhaps you could give some advice as to the kinds of things one would have to keep in mind before attempting such a thing. (e.g. physical security, bandwidth, power, etc). The reason I ask is because surely you couldn't just rent a little office space and set up the servers there, right? (Or could you...?) Do you know anyone who has hosted their own servers, numbering around 10 of them? (How did it turn out?)

Game Servers On A VPS
Personally I would never follow this route (hosting gameserver(s) on a VPS), but maybe some people on these forums do and I'm quite interested in what these people run (game+slots), on what hardware/OS, at which host and their opinion about the performance of it.

Should I Sell VPS On This Servers
After migrating to a larger setup, I'm left me with with four large servers (specs are listed below) that I don't have any use for. I would like sell VPS hosting on it, and let the support/payments/whatever be handled through my friend's hosting company. I have been crunching some numbers, and finally came up with some prices/offers, but I am unsure if the CPUs can sustain the number of clients. Let me know what you think. Also, if you could tell me what most VPS users are mainly looking for, it would help a bunch in configuring offers. Server: 2x Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5450 (3.0GHz) 64GB DDR2 667MHz RAM 24x 1TB SATA HDs RAID 10 (~11TB usable) Offers: (storage, memory, bandwidth @ price) 160GB, 1024MB, 1TB @ $75/mo 80GB, 512MB, 1TB @ $40/mo 40GB, 256MB, 1TB @ $25/mo The idea is to have under 128 clients on one box.

Dedicated Servers Or 2 VPS
Currently, I am using 1 VPS, and pay $30/mo. Now, I want more resource. Should I buy another VPS ($30/mo)? Or buy a dedicated server(<=$60/mo)? I understand that the 3rd choice is 1 upgraded VPS($60/mo). But I do NOT think it's better than 2 small VPS($30/mo). which one is better? For now, I do NOT want to pay more than $60/mo.

Servers (VPS Or Dedicated)
Currently I run my forum with a host that is having too much downtime for my liking. I run a new forum on vBulletin with 210 + members with 1-5 new members. My main requirements are PHP5, MySQL5 and OpenSSL. What would your suggestions be for a host / server specification? Unfortunately as I am not using any advertising so my monthly budget is rather low ($50). We currently have a dedicated server with a 2.4ghz processor and 512mb ram but I would be more than happy to move to a vps if it would be more reliable.

GreenSql - Anyone Using This On Shared Hosting Servers?
Sorry to be always posting these "Anyone use such and such on shared hosting servers?" But it's pretty much the best thing I can think of instead of experimenting and going through all problems myself first. I guess all of us likes to see someone else try something out first and give feedback on it before attempting to implement himself. I want to try this GreenSql as a way to help prevent user's web apps from being hacked using sql injection. Ive tried suhosin sql protections in the past but they simply don't work, but there is no kind of docs or even simple explanation anywhere about it on hardened-php site so that's probably why. If anyone here uses this, has used it and knows anything about using this on a shared server please share your experiences. I am going to implement it on a test server no matter what but would be nice to know that this isnt one of those things with insane default rulesets. It looks real cool and I will be giving it a try myself probably tonight and tomorrow. If anyone is interested I will post my findings. As the rest of you hosts know we cannot guarantee 100% security or any kind of hack proofness. But in my time I have found out taking some steps to help preventing weak and outdated php apps can help in preventing disgruntled wep-app-hacked clients from making a crusade on the web saying you servers are insecure, crappy and all that. Isn't a sure fire way but I think it helps.

Offshore Hosting - Dedicated Servers
some quality offshore dedicated server providers. I have heard of Leaseweb and Piradius. Leaseweb seemed not to be a good choice as if I recall properly I read that previous hosting clients were dissatisfied with the lack of support. Is this true - what do you Leaseweb clients have to say? I could not find the Piradius servers so I gave up looking for them. Does anyone know where I can find their "actual" website? Also, it would be helpful if someone can tell me how to find out who hosts a website by checking some data. For example, here is a Piradius client. Piradius might be a datacenter for all I know, so how I do find out who the hosting company is?

Hosting One Website Accross Two Different Servers
how to host one domain accross two different servers that gives resliance and load balancing? I know I could setup my domain on two servers and have two of the following records: www.domain.com x.y.z.a (IP add 1) www.domain.com y.y.z.a (IP add 2) But the problem is users also access emails by www.domain.com/webmail. Now the MX record is pointing to one sever as we want to gather all the emails at one point. So how do I get the users to go to one particular server for the email? I was thinking to alter the email url to something like www.mail.domain.com/webmail which only goes to one server.

Domain And Subdomains On Different Hosting Servers
I am about to create a domain for my shoutcast hosting service. Now, I am getting a dedicated server just to host the shoutcasts accounts, and keep on using my actual web hosting company for the new domain website and email support. Also I would like the shoutcast clients IP account to be: server1.mydomain.com So I need to create this subdomain in my shoutcast dedicated server? And what Name Servers should I use for my domain? I wonder, cos to be able to make the website and email I need to give the DNS of my web hosting company, but if I dont use the DNS of the Shoutcast Dedicated Server, would my clients be able to login to their account?

XSI Hosting/Xanadu Servers
Sometimes you have a "shopping" experience which really sets itself apart from the rest... I think this is how "tips" were invented... anyways, I wanted to share my story because I am very pleased with this hosting company. I am a web designer/developer/marketer. I have worked for big corporations who had in house hosting, to small start-ups using shared hosting. When I was looking for a VPS solution, I bumped into (online) Larry from XSI Hosting. I needed to finalize a host within 2 days to get a large client site live. Larry spent over 2 hours answering my questions and giving me advice and recommendations. I had been to at least 30 other hosting companies who offer VPS and none of them were willing to spend the time to answer my questions accurately, honestly and correctly. When I ran into a few "self inflicted" issue, the XSI support team is absolutely phenomenal. Not only have they been available 24/7 (believe me, I have contacted them many times at various times), they respond promptly, professionally, and work VERY quickly to resolve the issue. They even proactively monitor the account and resolve any concerns they have which may lead to an issue. This is a VERY professional hosting company who provides quality service, quality support, and VERY competitive pricing. All my new clients are going with XSI now.

Hosting EMail And Web In Different Servers
I'm experiencing some issues that I thought were something normal, or something that you could expect when working like this, but I think that it is something that should NOT happen. We own a dedicated server, where we host some sites we develop (around 80 right now). We usually host both email and web page in the same server, but recently we had two customers who wanted to host email in a different place. The first one has its own server with proxy, and the second one is waiting the previous company to change DNS values. The problem shows when we try to send an email from ANY domain hosted in our server, to one of these domains. From Outlook, the error is something like "no such user found", but the REAL problem comes when a PHP script (usually a contact form) tries to send the email. This mails get simply lost, and the customer never receives them. My question is: What do I configure, or how do I do so my webserver looks for the real DNS, instead of trying to send the mail directly to the local domain?

FDC Servers - Worst VPS Ever
i decided to move back into sites after a half a year gap and thought rather than shelling out on the full price of a dedicated server id give a vps a go. Now i understand the risks of shared usage but this takes the monkeys! Here is an email ive sent to them which will detail my issues I have been asked to use this email to express my issues because your normal support staff are unable to deal with this request. I began hosting with you with you about 5 days ago with the account below512MB RAM 100GB Disk Space 100Mbit Burstable Unmetered. 30 IP Address (max allowed. Not assigned at setup) IRC Allowed In the days ive hosted with you not only has there been the issue of not recieving what i actually paid for but there have been actual issues with the underlaying service. Firstly you never sent me the account password meaning i had to send a support message through this email just to get access to my account. Secondly you installed a faulty copy of WHM cpanel meaning that on account creation there wasnt actually a folder for the site files to sit in. Ive had to send 3 support issues in regards to Cpanel licence issues. Now the problem i am having is with the Quota's. On the issue of RAM i was told im sharing with 4 people on my node sharing a total of just under 1GB of ram these are the results of a *top* command in shell Mem: 966368k total, 903952k used Currently on my account is a completly blank installation of whm with absoloutly nothing on it or setup. based on that its presumed my ram quota is 50mb! - One of your assistants told me that ram is delagated as needed on each server but aswell as being plain insufficient to carry out what you claim to be giving me as a customer. Not to forget there is no mention whatsoever of ram being *bursted* between users on the account sign up page. For you to now say its bursted is infact a breach of the trade descriptions act. Another issue is the bandwidth now here i take a quote from your site Q: What kind of transfer speeds and how much data transfer can I expect on the 100Mbit shared bandwidth plan ? A: You can expect 15-30Mbit/s transfer speeds and 5TB-9TB monthly data transfer. The average download speed when i manually installed cpanel yesterday was 11kb/s - It doesnt take a genius at all to realise that 11kb/s is clearly a speed you could expect from a 1m/bit connection not a 100m/bit connection. I understand it is shared but the claim above is not what im recieving. Most replys that i have had from your staff end in - If the recources you recieve at the moment arnt sufficient then get a dedicated server. But the recources i am told i should have are far more sufficient than i need. You just dont provide them, if this is the best vps package then what could i expect on the lowest. What you are actually telling me was if you want to run 1, 1 paged website then the vps is not sufficient for your uses! All i ask is that either i am given my full quota with an acceptable connection speed as promised or a full refund. This message is send in confidence of Nick carswell, the views expressed in this communication may not be those of Nick carswell, if you recieve this copy in error please notify me immediatly and delete any copies you may have. I will post any replies that they send me in relation to this issue, but i appear to not be the first person who has found issues with their service and delivery of service

BT Business Web Hosting - Servers In Canada
I am developing a website for a client, whose web host is BT Business Broadband. I had noticed that the FTP connection to their server was a but slow, and the http connection was not as fast as my reseller account here. I also noticed something else funny.... I have simple PHP script that greets users according to the time of day. It was saying Good Morning, when it is the afternoon. To test, I uploaded another script to output the current time of the server. It was 5 hours out! I contacted BT to ask them why the time was wrong, and they said that it's because the server is not located in the UK, the company that manages the server is located in Canada! Frankly I am dissapointed with BT and feel slightly ripped off on behalf of the client. They pay them enough money to expect a fast service, and to have the server located in the same country, let alone the same continent! This also will affect their search engine results, as it is hosted on a foreign IP address. Has anyone else heard about this about BT before?

Customizable Firewall For All Virtual Servers Within A VPS
I've been out of the webhosting scenes for quite a while. Back around in 2000 I was using Linux and ipchains. Say I purchase a reseller VPS.. I want to control a blanket firewall encompassing all of the virtual servers underneath it. I want to control incoming AND outgoing ports. Are there any control panels that can offer this? FYI, whilst I would be looking for a reseller VPS/jailed arrangement, this VPS would not be open to the public. But is rather a custom project. Or, are there any ISP that permits some sort of virtual firewall control external to the VPS itself?

Poweful In-house Hosting Or Multiple Datacenter Servers
Currently my company's websites are hosted on a dual xeon beast with 8 gigs of ram and two SaS raid 5 arrays(i think). The bottle neck occurs with our single T1 connection. Our traffic is using an average of 97% of that T1 24 hours a day. We're looking into adding another T1 at the price of $600 monthly (bandwidth is expensive in our rural area). I'm wondering if moving to two less powerful dedicated machines (one for db and one for apache) in a datacenter would be a better use of our money. For instance, The Planet is offering a Intel Xeon 3040 1.8 GHz Dual Core server with 1gb of ram and cPanel (something we don't have but I would prefer to have) for $175/month. Two of those would be cheaper and free up bandwidth for user PC's in-house.

Godaddy Grid Hosting Mean Dedicated Servers Are Dead
I was looking at Godaddy's grid servers and it says you can have unlimited concurrent connections: [url] With dedicated servers if you wanted to have 2 million concurrent users you would need hundreds of dedicated servers in a cluster, but Godaddy grid hosting can do this for $4.99/month: [url] Of course currently give users unlimited compute cycles so if they start charging it could increase the price but godaddy don't charge for ram. Of course if you needed more bandwidth you can buy more. Sure, Godaddy grid hosting doesn't allow videos on your server(embed's allowed) but you wanted to have a website that was at the top of digg and worldwide media outlets reported it, Godady grid hosting would be great for this. So i guess if i had to choose between a dedicated server and godaddy grid hosting for a forum, i would choose grid hosting because i can have unlimited users online at the same time and not have to worry about cpu load.
