Log Analysis For Windows
May 16, 2007
I have a year's worth of Windows 2000 Server/ IIS 5 logs that I need to analyze for Web Traffic.
We used WebTrends 1999 for years, but we've lost the CD. I went to their site and their new offerings are too complex and too expensive.
I downloaded and installed SmarterStats to evaluate it. It seems to have only analyzed the first few days of the one-year's worth of log files. I couldn't find a number to call, and I couldn't get into their forum, so I decided I don't like them.
Webalizer seems to be just for *nix systems. This company is Windows based.
I need very basic information. Visitor sessions, popular pages, and, if possible, how many people clicked on an ad.
Also, the logs already exist. They just need to be analyzed. A solution that wants me to add something to my code might be appropriate going forward, but I need something that can read my existing log files.

I recently decided to upgrade to a VPS from shared hosting. I have decided to give VPSLand a shot, even though I am a little skeptical after reading a few negative reviews.
I will be providing an in-depth ongoing analysis of my experiences with them for the benefit of the WebHostingTalk community.
I signed up for the "Windows-EZ VPS Value" package.
RAM: 768MB (a great vlaue)
HDD: 8GB
Transfer: 300 GB
Price: $29/month
( with 50% off first month coupon my total was $14.50 )
After completing the sign-up process, I checked my email and noticed I had received 6 automated e-mails from them during the process
The order was placed at 9:46am.
They e-mailed me that my VPS was created at 10:10am (nice)
The followup e-mail with my server information arrived at 10:20am. For a total of 34 minutes from sign-up to server access. So far I am very happy.
I will run a few tests and follow-up shortly.

Given the novelty, the backing of a primary hosting player, etc., I had expected more info on Mosso than I'm seeing. One advantage I bring is I'm not a developer or operate a hosting company, just an entrepreneur who deals with his own servers. Here goes -
I don't think Mosso is ready for prime time. The marketing on their site is beautiful. When a friend recommended it (an entrepreneur like me), coupled with all the promises on their marketing pages, plus the pricing, I thought moving my service to Mosso was a no-brainer.
First of all, kudos to them for having a user forum. I firmly believe this is the right way to go. Unfortunately it also confirmed my experience was not unique. On the day I signed up, the control panel was not responsive. It took a long time and several attempts to load. The user forum also points to almost daily downtime, though granted for only a few minutes in most cases (via the pingdom links provided).
The forums are currently password protected, but a Mosso employee said this is accessible via a demo account. I suggest you review the forums before signing up with Mosso, it would have saved me time and effort.
In short -
1. The service doesn't provide the uptime suggested by their marketing pages.
2. Initial review suggests the software needs security updates. I emailed them my findings, hopefully it helps them. No response after 2 days. I'm keeping this vague intentionally.
3. The cancellation of an account was a mini-AOL-like experience. You can't cancel via the admin console. Turns out you cancel via email. What kills me most about this is the lack of understanding of security. They want me to email them my account's username and password. Since I'm human, I only have 2-3 passwords for all my accounts (banking, registar, etc.). And for me to email them my password is not appropriate at best. I had to use the "forget password" function to create a new one so I could email it to them.
4. I really think they over promise on their marketing. I think they should label it as a "beta" product to better reflect its status. The parent company has a great reputation, and I've used them in the past, hopefully they'll better protect their reputation by more openly reflecting Mosso's status. How can they have an enterprise level system with almost daily downtime?
5. My bad, but I didn't realize until after signing up that they offer no SLA uptime, just a partial refund when it goes down.
I really like the concept, and except for the fact I felt deceived, I would happily go back to Mosso because it provides what I'm looking for, once the marketing matches the delivery.

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?

I'm making a reasonably uninformed comparison here. Since Windows Vista is noted to be more resource intensive and slower than Win XP, are we right in assuming that Windows 2008 is slower than Windows 2003?
For instance, with two boxes with an identical hardware setup but the two different server OSes, will the same application like, say MySQL run slower on the Win 2008 machine?

There seem to be strong forum rules in place about the kinds of posts that hosters can make.
But from my perspective it is somehow leaving a large gap in useful information I would like to know that I can't quite put my finger on right now.
So I would like to get responses from Windows hosters in this thread without violating any forum spam guidelines and I sure hope I'm not wasting my time here with this concept but here goes...
So, the topic:
Ultimately, the thing Windows Web Hosters are providing is the delivery of information that has been constructed by developers using program code they have assembled using a large array of mostly .NET technology.
The reason the Hoster is providing Windows hosting is that a sufficiently large enough population of Web Developers have been attracted to some aspect of the Windows technology stack.
And there is certainly lots of innovative and interesting technology that attracts developers to focus on .NET in just the same way that there is also interesting technology in the Linux world.
So here's the problem. It appears as if the Windows hosting companies with the odd exception have almost no interest in Windows and .NET technology.
But if they actually did have such an interest, it is not clear how they would communicate it for discussion here at WHT because of the spam rules and of course trying to communicate anything at all about hosting on the general internet is just swamped by spam. The noise level is just insane!
So I am hoping that such a discussion can take place in this thread by asking some very specific questions:
1. What interesting Microsoft technology have you researched, tested or played with lately?
2. What programs or scripts have you personally developed lately to investigate .NET 3.5 features?
3. What do you think of XBAP delivery from the net and why do you think it hasn't caught on in a larger way since it sure delivers a richer client experience than Flash or even Silverlight.
4. What do you think of Azure and will Microsoft let hosters be part of the cloud anytime soon? Can you think of useful or interesting Azure mashups from a hosting perspective?
5. Have you tried any totally silly and insane things with the .NET runtime inside of SQL Server 2005/2008 that would give your DB guys a heart attack?
6. Have you tried out the Google systems where you give your employees 20% of company time to play around with personal projects like this?

Latest Update 12.0.18 Update 12 appears to have removed PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5 from my dropdown under hosting settings.
The only PHP that is left is PHP 5.3
Yet, the updates and upgrades page still lists PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5 as installed.
Also PHP is still working on the virtual websites that were previously enabled with either 5.4 or 5.5, but not able to change using the Plesk Panel.
Given that Parallels has broken the Panel in that latest automatic update I'd hope it can be resolved ASAP.
I can't even find any references in the KB about Plesk 12 on Windows regarding PHP versions
I can even give feedback about the broken patch as every feedback channel requires paid support.

Prior to using plesk, I had a few sites that had SSL certificates installed, the old fashioned way (manually through IIS). I have now setup those domains in plesk, and I need to somehow make PLESK aware of these SSL certificates.Right now, I setup the domain in plesk, give it a dedicated IP, and allow SSL connections. It chooses the default certificate and my already installed in IIS SSL certificate isnt listed.
Is there any way I can get it listed? I went to the add an SSL area, and it seems that this area is only good for generating new SSL certificates, but mine is good for another 1+ years.The bummer is that for some reason, anytime I make any type of change to the site in plesk, that it seems to overwrite the SSL bindings and changes my manual changes to the correct certificate (through iis) back to the default certificate.

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.

Is there a registry key that can distinguish between Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 server?
In

That key is Windows 2000 for both Win 2k and Win 2k server so if there's anything else that would be GREAT.

how is this pricing possible considering the licensing cost of Windows Server 2003 Ent?
I am not familiar with Microsoft's SPLA program, but I would imagine individual licenses for every single VPS would leave this company with a really small profit margin.

I'm trying to track down a quality windows VPS hosting supplier based in the US. I'm looking for a geat reputation, strong customer support and good flexibility...
We are running a website that that has applications running fulltime in the background and will require for our beta phase - about 1.5GB of RAM...
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good host?
Ram is most critical, followed by uptime and service quality / parts quality...
Things that aren't important are bandwidth, storage .etc

I'm running Windows Server 2003 and Apache, trying to get some type of *domain parking*(All domain point to IP:80) to work.
Actually, my nameserver's domain itself works well, and other domains work too just by creating new *forward entries*, but i don't want that..
I just want all domains forwarded to xx.xx.xx.xx:80, so Apache just resolves these domains.

My site is suspended because of more usage of resources on shared server thats why am All scripting in my site are in asp along with access databases at backend. My site only consume 200Gb bandwidth per month and 6GB harddisk space. There is an online music streaming section and online games section that consume too much resources. Other entertainment content includes wallpapers, free trial softwares, mobile stuff etc.,
I read reviews by many members in the forum and at the momment i have 2 packages by 2 different companies in my mind,
1. PowerMVS Advanced, $70.00/month (512 Mb RAM, 20GB disk storage, 600GB bandwidht) by POWERVPS
2. SaturnX, $80.00/month (640 MB RAM, 25GB disk storage, 500GB bandwidth) by SOLARVPS
Please let me know, which one is better interms of reliablity and support; i have read that PowerVPS is more prone to hacking and for restoring backup i have to pay again, is that right.
Also i think both of them offer 'Equal CPU Share', so other VPS client on same server consume more bandwidth then it will effect my VPS performance.

a Windows VPS hosting in the UK (strict)
I've found some bad words about eukhost.com, 1and1.co.uk and webfusion.co.uk
But I can't find any more respectable companies.
I need atleast 512 Mb RAM, 10-20 Gb space, 200-300 Gb / month bandwidth, not shared CPU (I'm going to overload it), no control panels and other 'great features' - just a possibility of setting up any software (I'll run my own web server).
