Is My Host Redundant

May 28, 2008

I have a renewal bill for my hosting account, but I can't see if I have any domains in it and therefore not sure if I should cancel it or not. I am with bright-byte.

Can I do a domain tools reverse search or something on the domain so it can tell me which of my domains are with that host?

Redundant DNS

Oct 6, 2009

I have been working on and designing a hosting company. Now setting up my names servers has came to a question. When I ran a previous business with a partner he only use Name Servers on 1 Machine in 1 location.

Now my question is my first server is going to be located in New Jersey, USA . So that is where My first set of DNS starts. With my previous partner I noticed most of the customers were based in Europe, Philippines, etc. Over seas. Now What I am asking is Will a VPS in a different location work for DNS Server. That way I can keep a lower budget till we get a few customers under out belt.

Redundant DNS Servers? How Do You Set Them Up

Apr 8, 2009

Because of the attack on theplanet yesterday, my sites were down.

People are mentioning adding "redundant DNS servers" to protect against downtime in future attacks.. but I haven't found any info on how to set these up.

I also seen somebody post that the planet doesn't allow "zone transfers" so I'm a bit confused at how to proceed.

I just registered an account at [url] and I'm unsure on where to begin. Their FAQ is just a large photo.

My .com is registered at Godaddy. Do I edit records at godaddy to point to the server IP? Or do I have to edit records via WHM?

Redundant Hosting ....

Aug 13, 2009

I currently run spiderloop.com a SEO control panel designed for windows hosting accounts. The site and web service is hosted on our own server and works great, however I am concerned about redundancy and do not want to purchase a whole other server just to be fail safe. So I am going to purchase a shared hosting account to facilitate redundancy.

So here is the question.

How do I do it? How do I set up my current host to redirect to the new host when it goes down?

If the current host has problems how can I force the users browser to redirect to the redundant host? I simply don't understand.

Redundant Config

Mar 18, 2007

I've decided to move from managed hosting to colocated hosting and I'm in a bit over my head as far designing the server configuration goes. I'm looking for assistance with setting up a fully redundant configuration with no SPOF (single point of failure).

The colo provider ensures full redundancy to the cabinet, terminating with two network drops from diverse bandwidth providers and HSRP. I need to eliminate all SPOFs inside the cabinet.

Some questions...

1) I'm thinking of using the Cisco 2960 Series switch as the in-cabinet distribution switch. I believe it supports HSRP. From my understanding, the switch will automatically failover from one uplink to the other in case of a network problem on one of the uplinks, and this will all be transparent to any servers connected to the switch. Is this correct?

2) However, this introduces the switch as SPOF. So, I believe what I need to do is ask the colo for a second pair of network drops and deploy a pair of 2960's. Then I would connect each server to both switches via separate NICs. Is this correct?

3) Finally, assuming I am on the right track here, I would like this to all be transparent and automatic with no human intervention required to recover from a switch failure. The servers will be running RHEL 4. How would I configure the network interfaces on the servers so that they can transparently use either (or both) of the switches? Is there some way to assign the same IP address to more than one interface? How does the OS keep from getting confused about where to send the traffic?

Thanks in advance for any insight. I would also be happy to hear recommendations for excellent network consultants that I could hire to design and implement this configuration for me.

Redundant Server

Sep 15, 2007

I have two servers. One hosts about 55 small sites and the other does nothing.

Can I make use of the spare one to take over automatically if the main server fails for whatever reason?

I had been thinking of using Rsync to backup accounts / mail every 6 hours or so and then manually changing the nameservers on the domains in the event of server1 failing. Would that even work? Then I got thinking about it all being automatic.

Redundant VPS Solution

Apr 14, 2007

I have a few VPS's, the main one has cPanel/WHM and runs all my sites / email / DNS and MySQL DB's. Heres a little info:

VPS1 - CentOS 4.4, cPanel/WHM, runs all domains (OpenVZ)
VPS2 - CentOS 4.4, Webmin, Slave DNS to VPS1 using Webmin cluster (OpenVZ)
VPS3 - CentOS 4.4, Webmin, Slave DNS to VPS1 using Webmin cluster (Xen)

However, if VPS1 fails for say 24 hours, im screwed!

So, my question is can I get some kind of redunadancy built in somewhere. For example if someone is trying to access my domain "mydomain.com" and the main VPS is down, then the request for the site would go to VPS2, or VPS3...

The same for the mail server, if some is sending mail to one of the domains on the VPS, and the main VPS was down, the mail would be sent to my other VPS's.

I just don not like the fact there is a single point of failure!

I do have WHM managed Weekly and Monthly backups of all cPanel accounts etc.

Redundant EMail Service

Jun 11, 2009

We are a hosting company in Colombia, and we want start selling corporate email service.

The main idea is have two servers with redundance, I think this servers have to share the filesystem I don't know if using a scsi disk or just a network file system. We also want to have a good appliance for stop the SPAM, Im not so sure if we need to have redundance on it, its ideal but we are just starting the bussines and we dosn't have cliets yet.

Can anyone share their setup with us, and give us recomendations or tips?

Another option is, if someone know how to do that and have implemented this setup before and want to work $$ with us to implement that, please contact me to jbravo[at]colombiahosting.com.co

Redundant Network Cards

Aug 29, 2007

to setup a Windows server that can support the failure of the switch that comes before it in the network diagram. The idea would be that if the 15A circuit the switch was on failed, or the switch just died, the server would still be online.

I already have two switches in spanning tree just before the server. Is there a way to assign a single IP to the server on both its network cards and connect each card to a different (spanning tree'd) switch?

Redundant Router Setup

Jun 5, 2007

I'm in the process to setup a new service with an ISP with the following scenario and need your help.

I've got the rack (42U), servers and switches. Only routers has been left and here is that I need your help.

I have also 2 ports from the ISP where I can connect my routers. I need to get 2 router devices with auto sync feature in order to be able to setup a redundant plan in case that one of them goes down.

Those routers should have firewall features too in order to avoid setup iptables rules for each server. A basic DDoS protection is needed too.

I'm going to push around 100Mbit of traffic across the servers but that will happen after 3-4 months from the initial setup. In the first instance no more than 10-20Mbit will be used.

I heard a lot about Cisco but got no idea what model is the most suitable for my case. I will probably need a module for DDoS attacks and another one for advanced security IOS from what I read but it is not clear to me.

Looking For Redundant Setup, Round Robin?

Nov 5, 2008

Looking for redundant setup, round robin?

I'm looking to make high availability setup, and wondering how many of you have made it so?
we are looking to multi-home the page with a round robin setup, using multiple VPSs/dedicated servers geographically different locations.

Right now i'm still looking at "stale" DNS setup, no automanagement of servers down. Is there a service/software which already offers automatic changes of zones for removing servers which are down, and adding them back when they get back online?

Do i need to custom tailor everything?

Redundant Apache (failover System)

Sep 22, 2009

I currently own several servers: let's say sites on 3 of those servers rely on a website that sits on server 4

If server 4 goes offline, then servers 1 2 and 3 suffer a lack of usability.
The website on server 4 is very small and fast, but receives several hundred thousand visits a day

I figured it would be a good idea to replicate that website on each of my servers, but I'm unsure about how to set up a good redundancy system..

Using several nameservers doesn't work as expected (visitors are randomly sent to one of the nameservers, in no particular order)

Does Anyone Exceed 80% On Primary/redundant Circuits

Oct 18, 2009

So the rule of thumb is if you have a 30A circuit to not exceed 80% or 24A.

If I buy a 30A circuit, I am assuming it is protected by a circuit breaker that is 30A, correct?

In *theory* we could run 29-30A all day and be fine.

So, I understand, the rule of 80% to be to the effect that "during startup, equipment uses more power ... or during runtime if it heats up, the fans go faster using more power" so it is safe to be at 24A in case you get spikes to 27-29A.

Is my reasoning correct?

Further, if you run primary/redundant circuits, is there really harm in running 13A on one circuit and 14A on the other.. and in the unlikely event of a failure, you are running 27A on one circuit (at 90% instead of 80%).

Any thoughts on this? Getting an extra 3A out of a 208V circuits is like putting in 3-4 more servers. If someone is doing this please let me know. I think it would work fine but i would like to know from the experts that do the colo stuff for a living what problems i could encounter, if any.

Setting Up Redundant Mirror/Mirroring Server

Jul 7, 2009

I have a LAMP server running and would like to have the exact mirror running on another location. I would like to sync the web files and database in either real time (upon any update) or in delayed mode (x minutes after the update).

For MySQL, I believe replication can do the job unless anybody has better recommendation. What would you guys suggest for web files? Can I use different Linux flavor but maintain back the same LAMP version?

Is there any "online" 3rd party load balancing service that I could use to load balance the traffic to both servers?

How To Setup A Redundant Server For A Domain Name To Reduce Downtimes

Oct 29, 2008

I have registered a domain using godaddy. I have hosted my site on a server of my shared hosting provider(lets call them X).Currently I have pointed mydomain.com to the server and it is up and running.Sometimes, I have experienced downtimes.

In order to solve this problem, I have hosted a clone of my site on another server from another hosting company(lets call them Y).

1. I want mydomain.com to point to Y when X is down

2. again point it to X when it is up.

My main aim is to have my site live with less downtime. The probability having both servers down is very less.

I dont know if it is technically feasible, just a thought out of dirty mind. I tried to google but was not able to find an answer specific to my problem.

Can anybody tell me how to achieve this through godaddy domain.

Added note, My site is not a commercial site and I cant afford large dedicated servers with clustering and failovers.

Power Supplies: Do Redundant Supplies Use More Power Than A Single Supply

Jul 27, 2009

do dual power supplies use more power than a single supply?

E.g. Say I have a server than uses two amps, powered by a single power supply. Now if I switch to a dual supply (and say each supply has the same efficiency rating as the single), does my server use more power? How much more?

My simple view of this is that it probably does, but maybe not much. The second power supply consumes some power itself, but since its not under load, it doesn't consume much. Therefore, my server with redundant supplies might use 2.1A or 2.2A.

How To Keep Email On Current Host And Forward Http Traffic To New Host

Apr 11, 2008

I'm configuring a website for a client who has moved their web hosting to downtownhost, but is keeping their email hosting with their current provider. They do not want to configure an MX entry on DTH to autoforward email back to their current provider because they don't want their email to pass through DTH.

In order to do this, do I keep the nameserver entries on the current provider the same, and configure an http redirect to point to DTH? Or is there something else I should configure on the current provider?

Blue Host And Host Monster Is Operated By The Same People

Aug 3, 2008

I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.

First Paid Host - Which Host To Chose

Dec 12, 2007

I have just made a personal website using photoshop, html, css and php. My site contains an index page, a gallery page with 8 photos, a contact page with a form and an extra page with some quotes. I am planning to use a paid host for the first time. Based on feedbacks from some of my sitepoint friends, I decided to go in for shared hosting. I thought of using Hostdogs.com as they have the option of a monthly billing cycle. I thought that I have the option of changing my host after a month if I am not happy with them. I have also read a lot about Hostgator.com. A lot of sitepoint members seem hooked to it.

1. Can anyone give an opinion as to which host I should go in for? Hostdogs also give a free domain. Is there any reason I should go in for Hostgator instead of Hostdogs?

2. One more question, I have heard that once I have a site running, I can earn money through the advertisements placed on it? How do I place advertisements on my site?

3. One last and very important question is whether it is right to go in for shared hosting at this point of time. I just read this

Quote:

When you look for a suitable host, be sure to check out the amount of bandwidth that will be available to your site. Even a site that doesn't require a great deal of data transfer per month could run slowly if you're hosted on a shared server; particularly if you are on the same server as a more popular or bandwidth-intensive site.
The more sites hosted on a server, the more likely they are to compete with each other for available resources, including bandwidth. This is why you may notice a reduction in server response times during busy periods, or during a sudden peak in traffic at a busier site on a server that you share.

This made me wonder whether I should go in for shared hosting. But then mine is a personal home page which may not have so much of traffic.

4. What does the paragraph below mean? How does one handle ones registration manually?

Self-Management (no cost)
Select this option if you prefer to handle your registration manually.Your web host can establish service with any Top-Level Domain (TLD), international or domestic.

Windows Host Or Specialsit ASP Host

Dec 31, 2007

I will be setting up a site which uses ASP.NET 1.1. I know versions 3.0/3.5 are available, but they are not yet V2.0 compliant. Anyway thst is not the issue - just context.

Would like your advice as to whether it would be better to host this site with a company who looks as though they are specialising in ASP; such as DiscountASP, or Softsyhosting, or go with a general Windows hoster such as Steadfast, Fluidhosting, or 3Essentials?

I know nothing about ASP, so I don't know whether it is not at all neccessary to have a host specifically knowledgable about it, as I am unlikely to ever have problems with it, OR; I will most certainly have to address ASP issues sometime, so it would be essential to have support who really knows ASP.
