Is it possible to limit internationally traffic? National would be Australian bandwidth.
For example;
Offering Unmetered national bandwidth and 10 GB international bandwidth.
OR
Offering 50 GB national bandwidth and 5 GB international bandwidth.
How would you go about doing this, tracking it, managing it, etc. Is there any software that does it already? For example Xen or Virtuozzo?
I have got 2 low budget dedicated servers from poundhost,I would like to find a way to limit their total monthly bandwith to 5TB so that I dont get past this limit even if the server stays for 1 day with blocked traffic or else! The one server is cent os 5 and the other is windows server.

I have found one called GPL Host that seems to do a few of these , but as of yet , haven't had much success getting it working properly.
I like their prices, let me know if you used them and how they are.
How much bandwidth can I use with their unmetered bandwidth?
I have a new venture where I'm going to be using a ton of overseas bandwidth. The total bandwidth usage will be in the several GBPS arena. What I'm wondering is who has the best international routes and network?

Good business and more and more in the further with giga-international is our heartily idea.
Its very recommend datacenter in europe.
We are very happy to use giga-international.com services.
Just wanted to stop by and make a quick review for Giga-international.com
I ordered my webhosting package at Giga-international this friday, the account was set up pretty fast and everything seemed great, but my website was offline the whole saturday because of some customer "causing problem" the support said. It took the support a fully 24 hours to get the server running again.
When i wanted to bail out and get another provider they refused to send me a refund, im stuck with Giga-international for year, great!
The server went down again today and thats why i'm writing this review.
We are from Brazil and we've been working with US dedicated servers for 5 years (Staminus, SoftLayer and FDCServers). We are now looking for colocation options to reduce our costs.
Which companies would you recommend that would allow us to by servers directly from them, replace hardware and do upgrades ? (we don't want to ship hardware).
What are the "old" and well known companies that would offer this kind of service with great support ? (we just need hardware/reinstall support but with fast responses on emergencies)
i want to post my experience with giga-international.
A month ago i was looking for a dedicated server to start a gaming community, at first i was looking for something cheap and simple, just for start and check how it was going until i get a better server.
Well, my first server with they was a Pentium 4, i've sent the payment on a saturday so i didn't expect an answer until the monday, and since they say at the website that usually takes 1-3 days to setup the server, i dont care too much about the time.
My surprise was, the monday at 7:52 GMT +1 i receive an email confirming the receipt of the payment, all ok, so i was like, ok, i must wait 3 days.
But no, 2 hours later another mail was at my gmail account with my login data, they had the server up and running in 2 hours when they say in the website that may take 1-3 days to complete the setup, that was a VERY nice start.
Since my gameservers was a huge succes, i have bough the server package with the Core 2 Quad Q6600 and 8GB of ram, same as above, they receive the payment and 2 hours later i was configuring my server.
Actually i host 4 Team Fortress 2 gameservers with 32 slots each, this morning with all the servers full the netgrap was reporting a 1-1.5mb/s continue data transfer rate and the servers running so fine.
The support team was very helpful, when i was thinking to get the quad server they have helped me about the SO choice mainly due the ram.
Also their Windows License offer is awesome, you dont pay the first 3 months of the Windows license, only a little setup fee (14€ for W2008 Web)
I was once a user in here - prior to the hacking that occurred in which the DB got wiped, so was a lurker for the time being and I currently am a registered user of 10+ dedicated servers from 10 different providers in here, so I am definitely NOT someone who registered for 1 dedi and then complained and bitched like a little girl. My threshold of tolerance extends probably most far beyond a lot of people in here and the average of customers for dedicated servers.
I've ones again created a new user - this time for the purpose of giving Giga-International a review. Yes; we mostly hear about bad reviews, but they're definitely BAD news.
So here's the timeline;
I read about their "great" offer on this forum under the Dedicated Server Hosting.
Thought; why not - I'll give the .DE guys a chance (remember I have servers located in .NL & UK) to earn some of my hard-earned $$$.
So after signing up, filling out the blanks & giving the instant payment (like I usually do without considering whether it is worth 129.99 EUR) I wait for my server.
I had previously read that their servers could take a while to get up; surprisingly mine wasn't, so happy I was. This happiness turned out to be short as I discovered their HDD they had supplied me was FAULTY - NOT running @ 7200 RPM for a SATA HDD. I/we (my tech team) contacted Giga-International regarding this matter. They promised they would look into it. So they did, but nothing happened. After NUMEROUS emails of an update of what was going on, it finally got fixed. Time to fix a f*cking HDD: 10 days.
So thought; ok, I'll hope it runs smooth from then on. It did for --7-- days UNTIL they had to "relocate" to a more powerful, fancy, <insert words>, datacenter which would double my routing and speed worldwide to cloud nine. "YAR!". Remember 17 days has now gone by, they relocated, in which they promised MY server would be up within 5-7 hours.
HA! Try 5-7 days instead. So after bugging and bitching like a little schoolgirl that has lost 129.99 EUR for 17 days of downtime in total, my server finally went up again. Prior to the bitching and whining THEY had the AUDACITY to send me billing emails of "risk of suspension - pay within 5 days" bollocks.
17-18 days of downtime, 7 days of "perfect" uptime.
I'm sure I can find alternatives to their service in here which is far from as diabolic as what was offered.
I kindly asked for a discount for the following month (May), but has yet to receive a reply from them.
Conclusion: Giga is quick on the billing and very slow on the support. They may be the biggest provider in Germany, but help me God Germans must be the most patient human beings walking this earth then...While getting ripped off; full price! Their routing is as average; nothing I'd pay 129.99 EUR/mo for a little over a week of uptime.
Final word to Giga: Kindly go do one or fix up and look sharp.
Currently have BurstNet dedicated server which is running flawlessly but i'm looking for a 2nd dedicated server for backup. Anyone use giga-international or superbhosting before?

Anyway ticket has been issued to them and still waiting for reply.
Just curious if anybody else face the same problems as i didn't not play around with my DNS servers at all.
I have a shared hosting plan with giga-international since October 07 – already 8 months.
I’m using it for my web gallery , address book – personal use. Using 1.5 GB and 500 MB transfer per month. I mean – I am very reasonable and not demanding user. I had a several problems with the support. I was not getting upset cause it’s not a business website, but the recent one just turn the page. I don’t thing anybody would like to run his business site in this conditions.
Few facts first:
- No CC payment option, just PayPal even though the FAQ page says there is.
- No other option but annual payment
- There is no such option to use your own domain name – you need to use the free one and add your own for 1 eur /mont additionally
- Never bother to call the phone on the webpage – they are too busy to answer.
- I suspect one man support
- the time for the answer from support is proportional to the complexity of your problem – sometimes you don’t get answer at all.
- I have had a problems almost every month – website not loading, SQL server down,
CPanel errors
- don’t bother to ask for anything complex like SSL certificates, DNS entries or “why my website is down” – you’ll probably will get the support more confused than they are.
What actually turned the page for me was: they were migrating my space from one server to another, they finished in 2 days, but my add-on domains were still pointing to the old location. They fixed it. And this was next, I’ll just copy the correspondence: ....
I see lots of bad reviews of Giga-International.
Is there anyone out there who are happy with their service, and can recommend them?
Or is it all just bad?
I recently purchased a server from them and You will NOT get the same speeds from your server that you will get with their test file server.
Before i bought the server i tested their speeds with the file they gave me at different times of the day for 2 days and it consistently obtained speeds around 70 to 100 kbps. As of right now I only get 35 kbps. I mean i guess its not false advertising as they dont gaurentee their bandwidth but it seems like bad business practice to me.
Also their customer support is very good BEFORE you purchase a server. I complained about the speed and no one has bothered to respond to me.
Its funny though because before i bought the server they replied to my questions on the same day.
I am trying to code a small download manager for my site to help speeds while keeping my files safe from hotlinking but its alot of trouble and I regret not going with another provider. If it doesnt work the way i want its just money down the drain.
I saw some people saying good things about Giga but if you dont want to take a chance with your money go somewhere else.
I have a vps at VPSVille, which I use for tunneling out onto the internet (behind a nazi firewall). Unfortunately, my vps keeps getting disabled because I cross the "20GB of traffic per month" allowed to any vps for tunneling - even though I have 300 GBs of bandwidth.
I'm now looking for another cheap vps host ($20/mo or less) that will let me utilize all the bandwidth I paid for.
I am just playing around with a server of mine, and I wanted to know is there anyway to limit the amount of inodes ( files and folders) a user can have? I am using cpanel/whm. Or is there a way I can receive an " alert" once a user has reached the specified limit?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently hired a new server with the aim of offering FTP backups.
I have Plesk CP but I don't want to use that to create the accounts for these users - i want to use the Plesk license for webhosting customers.
My box is running CentOS with ProFTPd.
The problem i'm having, is locking down SSH access to the Backup customers - if i add an account using "useradd", it is enabled in ProFTPd as I want, and I have set ProFTPd to only allow access to their home dir. However, the users can still log in via SSH and have full access to the box. Ideally, I want to be able to remove these users from SSH access, or if that's not easily possible, not allow them to "cd" above their home dir.
I know it's possible to add their usernames to the SSHd config file under Deny, but is there a more elegant solution (bearing in mind i'm planning to have quite a few of these users)?

I will expose all the details, in order to see how things evolved.
I have purchased dedicated server 3 months ago. After a month, I had flood problems, the server was down for couple minutes, the other day for hours. The support from their site asked for EUR 50 for managed service, which I have paid monthly. Here is their offer of managed service:
Quote:
We are offering a special package, that includes the following services:
- 24/7 Server Monitoring (5 minute interval) with Reboot
- System / hardware optimization
- Software installation and configuration
- Emergency Problem Resolution
- Unlimited admin hours and tickets
- Proactive security patching
- Kernel upgrades
- Ongoing OS / Control Panel updates
- Remote backups
That package is available for the following operating system:
- Redhat, Fedora, CentOS, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, SuSe, Mandrake
- FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, all Windows Operating Systems
- Sun Solaris
This upgrade is called 'Managed Server' and costs a monthly fee of 49.99 EUR.
If you are not able to control the connections to your server by yourself,
than I suggest you to consider getting this upgrade.
EndQuote
After that, the server was up for a month, they modified csf and it was all fine. Last week, someone hacked the server, erased the database completely. I have announced managed service, they didn't had any remote backup, I had to restore from a 3 days old backup all the users and databases. Two days ago someone hacked the server again, erased all the data, server down.
I have contacted them again, I have waited for more than 12 hours, no success, they didn't recovered a thing. Me and my admin, reinstalled all via ssh, uploaded over 50 GB of user files from a remote office backup, and after 16 hours of work and waiting, the server was up again. Today, at the same time: 11 AM, the hacker entered into the server, changed root password, erased home directory and operating system library, making the server unusable. Now, after 9 hours of calling managed service, messaging them with more than 50 emails, the server is still in rescue mode, no one except me and the admin on it, no load, they are all home.
I'm asking: where are the promised services? they never did any remote backup, any verification from 5 to 5 minutes, I have always announce them about problems; where is Emergency problem resolution? Over 120 clients hosted on the server, including my webpage are down for 9 hours, 2 days ago for more than 24 hours, I'm desperated, Giga International doesn't answer to the phone anymore, the server is still in rescue mode without kernel, without boot partition. I have sent them emails, no replies, I'm a beginner in linux but I know how to reinstall an OS and put back the server online, but I cannot do that from a rescue mode, via ssh.
So, maybe someone from giga international will read that and take measures, otherwise I will try my best to notify people about their bad services.
I'm thinking of hiring Giga-international.com's colocation, and I would like some reviews about them.
Are they good? Is the support good? Uptime, hardware repair..... ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedOn an cPanel + RHEL 5.3 box at WHM - Tweak Settings, I activated "The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited)" and set that value to "300".
But, it seems that this limit is only if the user is sending using webmail or an email client, right now a joomla website is sending much more than 300 mails per hour, but it's using php to send the mails.
My question, how can I limit emails per hour on each domain while sending from php?

We have Linux and windows shared hosting on our dedicated servers using Plesk are we are interested in putting in connection limits and bandwidth limiting in place but not sure what to use - we don't want to set them to be too restrictive but we don't want it to be free reign either.
I was wondering if anyone else was doing this, and if so what their levels were.
Additionally, does anyone use anything for IIS 6 on 2003 that supports bandwidth throttling of dynamic content? I know there are things for IIS 7 in 2008 but that doesn't help much
Is it possible to setup ftp accounts that have the ability for the users to view files on the server and upload their own files, but not download anything from the server? If so, how would this be done, if not, then as a 2nd option, do most hosting companies provide the option to disallow downloads on an ftp account if you need to do so, but allow uploads?
