Is This Server Good Or Outdated
Apr 5, 2008I have recently bought this second hand server on ebay to colocate with.

Are the specifications good compared to newer servers or is it outdated hardware?

NetworkSolutions: Outdated OS, Can't Upgrade
Apr 13, 2009I just began work at an office to manage one of their web assets. They have it hosted on a VPS from Network Solutions. In looking at the VPS itself as well as the information on the Network Solutions site, it appears they only offer Fedora Core 6 to their linux VPS customers.
FC6 was released October 24, 2006 and Fedora support is 13 months. That means that as of November 24, 2007, FC6 has received no security updates to any of it's software nor the kernel.
The Fedora project even states that it might not be a good choice for corporate users because of the need to update the whole OS every 13 months.
I can't update the OS on the VPS, I called support and they told me that they only offered FC6 and they had no solution to the security patches problem.
Is this even posssible?! Could a hosting service really consider offering a 3 year old OS with no security support as their only option? Am I missing something incredibly obvious?
Locating Outdated And Exploited Scripts
Feb 21, 2008Is there a way to located out dated and already exploited scripts on my VPS? I have already cleaned out the /tmp directory but how can I scan my clients accounts to determine if they have been exploited? Or if they should update scripts that they are running.

List Of Good Hosters With Good TELEPHONE Tech Support
May 6, 2008I'd like to start an ongoing thread here listing the 'Good Hosters with Good TELEPHONE tech support'. In other words, out of the 1,000s of host companies, this may cut it down to less than a dozen.
( And for all you Hosters out there who really want your company to grow, and want to know how, - it's easy: just read here.)
Good telephone support is the #1 ultimate requirement, because:
-It's a lot faster and easier for both the user and the host company, because you can state and answer all questions and clarifications on the spot, you don't need to continually pass new emails with new questions and clarifications, back and forth for days on end, until the issue is solved. It saves tech time and user's time. And saves a lot of nerves.
- It's the best way to sort the good guys from the bad. A bad company isn't going to bother to answer the phone, - or will make you wait way too long, - because they are likely getting endless complaints. The good guys are always ready to answer the phones, with a friendly voice, - because they really WANT to please the customer.
- If a company can't be bothered to pick up the phone, we can't be bothered to even consider them. They're a joke, and so won't be listed here on this thread. (So, before adding or listing any Hosters here, please verfify that they do have Good, quick, friendly, telephone support,; ideally 24/7, but 9am to 10pm might be acceptable, if it was supplemented by some emergency contact.
AND:
- Hoster ALSO needs good EMAIL support (and preferably, Chat online, extended hour availability). (I spend a lot of time overseas). It sems all emails should get a non-automated response within about an hour, - and then support should jump on fixing any problem.
I only need support a few times a year. To answer some questions, or fix a problem, or do an install. That's lesss than 1 hour total, so any company paying maybe $18/hour tech support should be able to handle this. It IS reasonable to charge a custm for extended calls, beyond say, 90minutes a year, IF you don't count the 80%? Of times an issue is the Hoster;s fault of stmg gone wrong, and don't count the 'hold' times.
ALSO IMPORTANT:
- Uptime
- site Speeds
- Monthly plans, no contract (Only a dishonest host will try to force you into a contract, where they can then ignore you.)
- Reasonable price. (? Maybe $12 to $18/month for a basic business site. We don't need massive bandwitdths, - we all know that's an overselling scam, and can't ever be delivered.)
- a good upgrade plan of bigger options. Maybe even VPS.
- Dedicated IP, and availbility of SSL
-PHP 5, mysql, phpMyAdmin, etc
- cPanel ( Some Hosts are using problematic panels, like Hsphere, which are slow to load, slow in operation, require many more clicks, have too many options, spread apart on many separate pages. Time is money, and this really slows down the ability of a small business to manage his own site in effective time. For example, one WHT user wrote somewhere: "I don't feel that HSphere's interface is nice at all, although I have worked with cPanel and DA all my life... I just found it to include un-necessary features or split features up in to different hard to find pages, such as backups - mysql backups you had to find on a completely different page than file backups, and then there were options to have it in the home directory or server-end backup, in which then you had to wait a good 10 minutes before it was ready. cPanel, just hit backup and hit download and instantly it does everything you need...".
I have used several hosters. Currently on Aplus.net and Godad, which have phone support, and mediocre service.
My LIST So Far:
- Liquidweb: a very impressive company with good, 24 hour support. But to get dedicated IP, you need to go with their $25/month plan. Yikes!
- NewIdeaHosting.com. A very small company. My call was returned, and the owner chatted with me for an hour on the phone! Plans have small bandwidth, but promises No overselling, and personalized attention. Extra $5 for dedi IP. He specializes in Small business sites, and small eCommerce sites. He has only 250 accounts, on 3 servers. He rents servers from the Equinox data center of Chicago. Seems exceptionaly honest.
- MegaHosters. Excellent phone support and WHT reviews. But company was taken over by another company, and so may well go downhill in future. Another problem: uses Hsphere.
- Steadfast. Has a good rep on WHT, and seems impressive. Tech answered the phone immediately, but they say they prefer emails. Sales phone has limited hours. Good price on $20 SSL. But, uses Hshhere.
- JodoHost 24 hour phone. But, uses Hsphere. An Indian company with office in Florida, and good rep. I like the idea of outsourcing phone support, if it makes it more available and affordable. But, the accent on the phone was very hard for me to understand, so maybe this might not work.....
- Hostgator. Yes, it's a big overseller, but seems to get good reviews/results anyway, and good phone support.
- ? ThePrimeHost ?? Mostly good WHT reviews; some dissenters. Site says 24hour phone, but when I called on several nights, no one ever answered...
- Can anyone add to this list? Please list only hosts that meet the above minimum requirements of phone support, etc. Especially useful is hosters you've tried.
TO AVOID:
- Avoid Arvixe. I had a horrid experience with them, here: [WHT forum]:/showthread.php?p=5097822#post5097822
- Avoid WebHostingBuzz. This company never returned my phone msessage inquiries.
How Good Is This Server
Feb 26, 2007what is your opinion on this server?
Processor : P4 3.0Ghz Processor
Memory: 2GB of RAM
Hard Drive : 2x160GB SATA Drives (RAID 1) Management Level : DEFCON 2
1500GB B/W
100mp/s uplink
With cpanel and WHM.
That normally goes for $383 at the company I'm looking at. I'm curious because I was offered that they give me this server for free, and in exchange give them some advertising. So price doesn't really matter right now.
How good is this server, and how large of sites would you say it could handle?
Is This Server Any Good
Sep 11, 2007newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856152019
I have an opteron 148 I can throw into this, plus 2GB ram.
Would this be a good web server using win serv 2k3 + sql server 2k5? I want to start hosting my websites on this. I hope to support 100+ low traffic websites with this setup. Is this possible? I know a separate db would be better but I want to start off cheap. Any other options that can get me in the game for about $600?

Good Server For Virtuozzo?
Jul 16, 2007I'll soon buy Virtuozzo with 3 VE on each server. I won't be selling VPS for now, but I'm planning to. The main reason why I'm doing this move it's because I want a good backup and fast recovery over problems and an easy way to do maintenance with almost no downtime.
Both servers will run one "main" VE within Virtuozzo, the other spare will be for testing and/or Live Move between them.
Both server that I'm running now are P4 2.8 GHz Dual Core, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB SATA, everything’s run fine!
I'm looking for a server with this configuration and I want you to tell me if it's good. (And if there’s anything I should change since it won’t work well in team)
1 x Supermicro SuperServer 5015M-T+ 1U
1 x Processor - 1 x Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
1 x Kingston - Memory - 4 GB ( 2 x 2 GB ) - DIMM 240-pin - DDR II - 667 MHz - registered
2 x Seagate SV35 Series 7200.2 ST3500630SV - Hard drive - 500 GB - internal - 3.5" - SATA-300 - 7200 rpm - buffer: 16 MB (RAID 1)
I’ll get this server for about 2000$CAD with taxes and shipping. I’ve looked at Xeon, but even with a low 5110, it’s pretty heavy in price!
What do you think (except that my English is bad!)?

Budget Server In The UK With Good Support
May 3, 2008Things have become a little hectic.
I decided to go for a budget dedicated server because the shared hosting I was using was grinding to a halt several times a week.
I haven't used a dedicated server before, and wasn't 100% sure what I needed, so after lot's of going round in circles, I found the 123-reg £49.99 server and unlimited bandwidth, so I ordered it....and waited, and waited. Not so much as an order confirmation, or reply to my emails asking what was going on. Not a great start, so I cancelled the order.
OK, I have a budget of around £60 a month.
I need the server to be able to do mod_rewrites.
Unlimited, or a generous amount of bandwidth per month is important.
Good service if it all goes wrong is essential.
Preferably UK based, but will consider other countries if contacting them isn't a problem.
I need some kind of control panel as well.
i will be running a Vbulletin + VBSEO (hence the mod_rewrites) installation and a joomnla installation with lots of large images if that makes any difference.
