View 8 RepliesI want to make a survey for my small business company (domain names, hosting, web design).
I don't know what is the roadmap to do it. some help link or documentation
I was sent a link to fill in a questionnaire for servage. I filled it out totally honest the over all rating was pretty poor but they did have one or two upsides which I did give a good rating, but over all it was a bad review for them.
I got a confirm page thanking me for taking the survey.
2 weeks later I then received another e-mail saying I had not entered the questionnaire and would I like to enter it? I already did 2week earlier.
So on to their infamous customer un-service. I told them what happened and true to servage form I got a copy and paste answer that had no relevance to the question,
What URL? So I answered back, its your own survey that you sent an e-mail inviting me to take you must know what it is? They then answered they don't know what happened to it and they will look in to it. This is the first time I have had a proper answer to any question from servage.
So my point being are they fixing the survey in their favour? I mean the amount of negative reviews they get just about anywhere else on the web they wont publish that on their own site.
Maybe this will help in my search for a web hosting or VPS site. Please reply to this list if you know the data. I'm showing tranfer rates and bandwidth in bytes not bits.
Ipower
Observed transfer rate, throttled to 360KBPS, virtually guaranteeed though. I've seen peaks over 600GB / month with no complaints from Ipower.
Westhost
Average transfer rate 170KBPS, peak rate 250KBPS.
what is the fast and best way?

The video encoder that I prefer to use will only work in a windows enviorment
The windows server would pass off the converted video to the Linux server.
Will a Samba server for Linux allow a Linux machine to connect and share files with a Windows machine work for this application.
Although it's probably a dumb question but can Linux and Windows exist on the same server?
Can I run both Windows & Linux on a dedicated server? I currently have a website hosted on a shared hosting Linux web server (uses PHP, MySQL). I want to use RED5, which seems a bit tricky to set up.
Why Windows?
I would feel more comfortable installing RED5 on a windows server (I think it'd be easier for me, no experience with Linux command line etc.).
Why Linux?
I'd prefer to keep the existing PHP/MySQL website on Linux because I have Apache specific settings.
I have Windows Server storage server. However I need to run some Linux scripts. Is it possible to run possibly VMWARE to have Linux so I can install the scripts use the Windows which has content to be used.
Kinda tricky I know but worth a shot.
Windows - Has all the content , but can't run scripts such as file hosting , streaming server (WMV wont do) , HTML/PHP server scripts.
how to set up networking for the following..
I have a windows 2003 server machine. This machine has 3 internet IPs.
Im running Microsoft Virtual Server and going to be running 2 virtual machines both running Linux (Ubuntu).
Ideally I would like the 2 VMs to use my spair 2 internet IPs. However they are assigned to the NIC on the real windows server. How can I route 2 of these ip addressess to the 2 VMs?
Baring in mind that the windows server has only 1 NIC (used for the internet)
can I setup windows Bind Dns server act as primary dns server and linux Bind as Secondary Dns server ?
IF it is possible please let me know how can I do this.
i was wondering whats the difference between a windows server and a linux server. if a client asks me which one should they choose? which one is better? what should i tell them to go with

i need to take offside backup from my linux server to windows server,before i used rsync to take backup,now i need to make backup in windows server with help of any software which work same as rsync or any software which must have good feature.
Are there and decent tools that you use to keep an "eye" on your server to lookout for hardware issues?
E.g., it would be nice to get an automated email sent if a server's temperature went above X or if S.M.A.R.T. errors were detected with a hardrive, etc.
I'm trying to replace my Linux OS with Windows Server 2003, which I already have a license.
I'm talking about OVH Kimsufi XL.
Following support's instructions, I booted my dedicated with netboot, specific with vkvm option.
Then I specified an ftp location, (where there is my "totally working" .iso), and I started the virtual session.
After some mins, a java windows appears, and starts the vnc session.
After usual linux loading, it stops on this :
Code:
VFS: Cannot open root device "801" or unknown-block(8,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
0300 244198584 hda driver: ide-gd
0301 5245191 hda1
0302 238428687 hda2
0303 522112 hda3
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
And, besides I cant write a letter!

I can transfer the public_html folder to "wwwroot".
can any one tell me that how to transfer the data base from linux

At work, we have a windows 2003 server.
We have a set of files that get modified from day to day.
Since they know I own a dedicated server (Linux) they ask me if it would be possible to have an offsite backup on my server of the set of files on the windows 2003 server.
Also, I dont want to have the whole files set to be uploaded everyday.
I am aware of rsync on *nix system, but do you have any suggestions on how to proceed with a windows 2003 server to a unix server?
I want to transfer an account from a windows server to my linux server.
How can I do that?
if i can create 2 VPS with completely different OS such as CentOS5 and Windows 2003 Std.
The main server will be running CentOS with HyperVM.
I have a server that keeps dying on my mysteriously. I've loaded it with Windows 2003 and Linux. Both crash about once every other day. So I'm guessing this isn't a software issue, but a hardware one.
When it crashes the screen turns blank. Only a hardware reboot will work. The power doesn't go off though.
Anybody here experience something like this before? I'm guessing it's one of the following:Power supply
CPU
Motherboard
However I'm thinking it's probably not the power supply as the server is relatively idle. I did stress test the server and it didn't crash then.
The thing is, there are no event logs from the BIOS or anything.
After long time consideration, selected linux eventually from singlehop, good company, good service.
Now we got big problem. Since our forum has 60GB data, I have no idea how to move files over.
If it was another windows server, I would just install a flashget (or similar download software) and put all HTTP links into it and just go to bed.
The data has been ZIPed into dozens of files, 1-3 GB each. HTTP link are ready for downloading, like
www.abc.com/files01.zip
www.abc.com/files02.zip
........
www.abc.com/files50.zip
I was wondering what's the best way to move data. Can we install a programme and put those links into it and download into my server? Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried wget, seems not working, speed drops to 0 after 10 secs, don't know what reason.
How do I run a virtual instance of Windows server 2008 on my Linux dedi? Do I need to partition the server and create a VPS for this or can I run it on something like VMware? (Please look at my other thread here [url]t=857377 to learn more about my server, its resources and current config.)
Why would I want to do this? Because my primary desktop OS is still Vista Ultimate 64 and I've invested a lot in Windows-based software and hardware--too much to make a total switch to Linux. But, I don't want to invest more than I have to in order to run a Windows server that allows my business partner to access documents remotely or for us to share various files securely and privately and still serve my mostly Windows-based clients and colleagues. I'm one of, well, two people I know who even use Linux (at least at the OS level and know it).
Since my research shows I **can** do this on Centos 5, the responses that would be most useful to me would be those that focus on how I can do this successfully (even if it seems complicate; I can figure it out with help and/or direction) and what to consider or avoid when creating this virtual guest OS on my Linux dedi.

Any company rent Windows Server 2003 Web Edition ?
SPLA and External licenses ?
With Micfrosoft need pay 2,000$
I wait your answerds.
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
Is there hosting that use windows xp rather than windows server 2003? What is the advantage of using windows server2003 anyway?
Most of the time I just need to run some programs that need huge bandwidth. If I want to host sites, I'll just use xamp.
I think windows xp license is cheaper.
Does someone know what that means? I can sometime choose this option if I want to buy a server.
