I'm looking for a VPS with root access so I can play around with Ruby on Rails, mongrel, litespeed and nginx. So far the only thing I've found in my price range and with the proper privileges is the standard plan on eapps

I would sign up but the disk space and data transfer is a bit puny ... I was wondering if anyone knew of any other solid VPS hosting out there?
I think about buying good quad core dedicated server with 4gb ramm, and want to start making VPS's on centos. I am totally new to this and would like to give it a shoot
So what software do I need? Which control panel is best for vps's virtuozoo, plesk ... ?
I have one server now which will be doing some intense PHP/MySQL serving. I want to grow into a second server that will handle the Apache server and leave MySQL on the original box.
Question is whether I can get something decent that will only pull .5 AMPS? Why? I have to choose a co-location provider and have narrowed it down to 2- the one I like very much because will give me 7U of rack space for $200 a month- but they limit you to 2 AMPS and my Dell SC1435 pulls about 1.4 at top usage.
The other option is another co-lo (closer to my home) that is just 1U space and costs $149 for the 1 Mbps burstable. So the it will cost $298 a month when I add the second server.
So can anyone suggest some decent low energy boxes for serving (for example) 250 very low storage CMS (Joomla) sites where the database backend is offloaded to another server (connected via each server's secondary LAN port)?
i have xampp i followed this redivide.com/blog/setting-up-a-name-based-virtual-host-vhost/
when im on the computer that xampp runs on it works fine both domains go to their proper directory ones c://xampp/htdocs/fa and the others c://xampp/htdocs/wsd but when i try it on another computer both domains go to the default folder which is c://xampp/htdocs
I have an interesting situation on my CentOS 4 server. I have a number of virtual adapters (e.g. eth0:1, eth0:2 etc), and for some reason all outbound traffic is going through one of these, not eth0. If I go to ipchicken.com, it shows the ipaddress of a virtual adapter, not the normal eth0 adapter.
I have been looking around for information on how to set the default adapter to eth0, but I can't seem to find anything. I can't reboot yet, as it's a production server, so I have to wait for 'scheduled maintenance'. If that's the solution, I can try it, but I am sure there is another underlying issue/routine here.
Is there a way, while live, to set the outbound adapter back to eth0?
Please note, that I have only just realized this has happened. In fact, it has been this way since November. I can tell because server name stamps on Email messages sent from this server indicate a virtual domain at that IP address. I recall I had done some work around that time, which had involved me ifup'ing and ifdown'ing some of these adapters (but not eth0, or the eth0:100 adapter (if I recall correctly) that is now the default).
Also note that I have groups of eth0 adapters, such like: eth0:1 eth0:2 eth0:3 eth0:100 eth0:101 eth0:102
It's the eth0:100 adapter that is now the default.
I'm going to be developing an ASP.NET MVC application, and just want to share it with some friends until its ready to be released.
I'd prefer to only spend $100CDN or so a year. I know this isn't a lot, which is why I'm looking at shared hosting, I know I'm not going to get anything great.
I'm not worried about bandwidth since only a handful of people will have access, but for disk space I'd prefer > 1GB and preferably MSSQL. I know MSSQL is going to bump up the price quite a bit, so its not a deal breaker. Of course .NET 3.5 SP1 and AJAX is a must though.
So far I think the best I can find is either discountasp.net or ************.com (er, I can't post the name?)
Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this, but when I clicked the Offers section the Shared link seems to be broken.
I am currently with the planet and am happy with them, however as part of a new venture I need to gather a list of hosts as well as the planet that will be able to cater to the ventures needs and go to tender with the requirements.
ThePlanet offer something called a virtual rack. This is cheaper than renting a dedicated rack, allows for Gb networking but doesnt not allow for a SAN. Do other providers offer something similar? The cost of putting a machine on the virtual rack is not that much more expensive than just renting the machine. I guess there isn't too much to these set-ups to be fair.
If not, then we are looking for dedicated racks, with the ability to host a SAN at some point, but starting off with say 3 servers (2 web servers, 1 storage server with raid5 6Tb of hdd). These servers will be dealing with network cameras although I don't think that many will be streaming at once but the network capacity does need to be there.
Who's door should I be knocking on to find out some prices?
One final thing, should I bother looking for co-lo providers as well? We are in the Uk but not precious about our host being in the same country at all (it would be nice but uk prices are ££). Really, all we would be able to do with co-lo is buy the hardware outright to save price as we are not interested in looking after the hardware.
Does anyone know of a decent adult hosting provider thats not going to give me any problems? i've been with cirtex for 1 month and in that month i've had my account suspended due to high cpu usage.. and the sites mysql has been down due to disc space full cos they didnt clear the tmp folder.. all in the space of one month..
My site gets currently 4,000 uniques per day with around 13,000 page views..
its a tube site however the videos are embedded from another site so bandwidth is relativly low at around 4gb/dayso if anyone else runs a similar site i'd like to know who you host with and if you get many problems.
I've been getting quotes on Cisco 2960G switches (specifically 2960G-24TC-L) and looking for those that have also purchased to determine if I'm getting a decent deal or not. These are brand new from a major vendor for $1899 each shipped. Am I in the ballpark?
List is $3200 and most other places seem to be right around $2k so far.
I currently have a server setup with about 10 domains, serving around 4million pages a month to around 110,000 unique visitors.
1 of those domains serves around 99% of the traffic, so I want to move the other domains onto their own server.
I'm looking for a hosting package that offers cpanel/whn interface and the ability to add new hosts. I had a quote from ThePlanet for a very reasonable $89 a month, for a Celeron 2.0 with 512MB RAM.
I currently host a few sites for small businesses and teachers on my multi-addon shared account. However, I know some companies will provide free hosting or some other deals such as free months or credit or money for referring clients. What are some of these companies that do this?
I used to use dedimove.com, but they have dropped off the face of the earth i moved to another host, id rather not say them name as i dont want to give them a bad name and have no complaints with their service other then the speeds are not very good...
im looking for a 100mbit port and under 100 dollars price range as the site really doesnt make any money... and at least 3 TB transfer...
I have just gotten a new server and the ping results were pretty fine. However, when it comes to the download speed its horrible. What could be the issue?
I'd like to set up my server as a proxy for my own private use, where in my home PC's browser I can tell it the server's IP, port, and the password that I set, and it will function like a normal proxy. How can I do that? What software do I need and so on.
how you are doing this if you are co-locating a few servers in the same rack. I'm looking at putting in a small server to handle the backups offloaded to it, and connecting the 2nd 1Gbit ethernet ports on our Poweredges to a private switch. Does this sound about right and how you would handle them?
We already do offsite RSYNC, what I am trying to work out is how to handle backups held onsite from multiple servers. The servers will have a local copy of a backup, and i'm thinking one offloaded to a specified backup server. That backup server can then RSYNC offsite.
Right now we have two 1RU servers, with two more going in and a 2RU server. So ideally I would like to backup all 5 servers to this box.
Perhaps i'm over complicating it? However I do want to have a good backup system in place, I sleep easier at night this way
i'm trying to get a graphical interface for a VPS I recently bought. I'm currently running Ubuntu Minimal 8.01. I've read some instructions on how to install the GUI, and VNC. I cannot get this to work, does anyone have any insight?
I'm trying to find a hosting company or private linux server that will host an installation of Nagios which is a monitoring utility. It does require some linux system packages to be installed as well as a break in the firewall for the monitoring.
Does anyone know of cheap linux private server (less than $25/month), or is anyone else running this with someone? It really requires no memory or hard drive space and I'm sure could run in a less than amazing CPU environment. It generates pretty constant web traffic but very low bandwidth.
Got a person potentially developing an ecommerce website for me. Part of the agreed price is 1 yrs free hosting on their server. However what are the pitfulls since i am concerned with security (customer credit info), and if anything untoward happens like the site going down.
If a proper webhosting business is required, essentially i need these:
"Linux server with PHP, MySQL, an SSL certificate, register_globals turned on, a c-panel to admin the MySQL"
Which provides a great qualty and cheap service (not godaddy) - if it helps I am bested in the UK.
I'm expected to have around 1000-1500 users at a time after my ad compaign for my site. currently, my setup is as follows: VPS in UK guaranteed memory: 256 burstable : 512 disk: 20GB traffic: 200GB per month price : 15 dollars a month
I would like to upgrade to : guaranteed memory: 1GB which is better ? to go with VPS ? or dedicated server ? which provider do u recommend ? how much am I expected to pay for my required setup ? what about CPU ?
I am looking for a reliable managed VPS host which has servers/or is based in the UK. I am transferring a high traffic site, and I'm looking for recommendations for a host offering the following:
-Managed VPS -Reliable servers -Good support, with native English language staff -U.K. based data center Any suggestions for hosts would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone had experience with clustered.net as I have seen they have a package?
I am "simply" looking to run a Joomla! community site with an estimated 250 - 500 and then eventually up to 1,000 users onine at one time. The main attraction will be the user forums and profiles. I don't plan on having any videos or anything like that, but I will install a mambot that will integrate Google Video, etc.
I am trying to pick a VPS provider and from what I have read so far, I have kind of narrowed it down to a few places:
From reading alot so far, I would imagine I would need at least 256-512MB of RAM. Plesk sounds like a good control panel since I won't be reselling any of the space. Webmin sounds too hands on, and I know a little bit, but not a lot. The backup option that comes with Spry.com sounds tempting, but VPSLink has attractive price points. Mediatemple.net also gives you 1TB of bandwidth, a very attractive option.
I am "simply" looking to run a Joomla! community site with an estimated 250 - As long as the site can run MySQL, I am happy. Joomla!, statistics software (any suggestions) and WordPress and that is about it as far as applications.
Any suggestions on what plans or who I should go with? My budget is about $t50 a month.
The subject line pretty much sums up my major problem. My site has been intermittently slow (somtimes slow, sometimes not) for... like since I can remember. So my site isn't that big
Sometimes for me it takes forever to load a vbulletin page, or even the main page of the site. I thought I had found the problem (a mysql-intensive script), removed it, improved things quite a bit, but there is still a long way to go!
Many site users report the same exact things. "The site is sloowww" ... "It wasn't slow yesterday but it is today" ... "Today it's really fast, but last week I was having problems pulling up pages".
Its fustrating becase this is a VPS, and although I know how to use Cpanel, WHM is really big and I am not sure what I could do to speed up my website or to even begin to locate any potential problems.
My site is basically Joomla CMS, vBulletin BBS and 4images image gallery. The later two use a common user database. My current mysql usage is 327.55MB in total. Apache 1.3.34, PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 4.1.19-standard. Powered by WHM/Cpanel & Virtuozzo.
What should I do? Where can I start? Where can I look?
I'm just wondering if people could point me in the direction of cheap VPS's - like under $10/month, but ideally nearer $5/month if such a thing exists..
I'm looking for one to host slave DNS so I obviously want it to be fast and reliable but I dont need it to be 100% mega reliable in the sense that an outage here and there wouldn't be the end of the world as there will be no web sites hosted on it.
