I just moved to my new server and I have noticed a problem with the mail server.
The mail doesn't send unless I press "Send Mail Queue" inside WHM.
Does any one know if there is a cron-job for me to run?
Also, for all of my clients it is showing 0mb disk usage, how would I fix it to show their real disk usage and bandwidth usage? I believe that there is again, a cron-job to run.
I saw the note about Request threads, but I've had no luck with the requester form or sponsors and my requirements are perhaps a little uncommon. I just opened an account with a certain host only to find that the inode thing will be an issue, so already searching for a new place. Recommendations?
I'm flexible on pricing.. up to $20 / month?
My sites:
3x domains
3x Gallery2 installs
20Gb total (~ 70k inodes)
REQUIREMENTS:
PostgreSQL *
PHP 5
30Gb storage (and no harsh inode limit)
5-20Gb traffic (typically closer to 1Gb, if that)
SSH & rsync
PREFERABLE:
PostgreSQL 8.x (many times faster than 7.x)
PHP 5.2.3+ (supports phpdoctrine)
Proper domain management (ability to add arbitrary records)
I migrated from one server running Plesk 10.4.4 Update #59 to a new server running Plesk 11 which I then updated to 12.0.18 Update #32. Since moving to Plesk 12 the "Notify when disk space/traffic usage reaches" emails have been being sent to our customers set up on the server whereas previously they were sent to the server admin email address.
Is this a change with this version?
OK so I've been in the hosting industry a very long time now and I have noticed that overselling has got more and more crazy over time. 7 years ago, 2GB of disk and 10GB bandwidth was considered overselling. Today, its common to see offers at 1000GB/1000TB.
So my question, to all you looking for web hosting, do you really think you will need all that space and bandwidth?
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. (Some might hate me for this!) Out of all my customers, 99% use less than 1GB disk and 5GB transfer.
Every hosting provider out there knows this, and will tack on a bunch of 0s to their offer to make it look more enticing . The thing is, if you aren't using the space, you aren't getting any extra value. If you come even close to the amount they offer, I am willing to bet you will be suspended faster than you can blink. This advertising tactic is very misleading and a lot of newcomers base their decision off the meaningless numbers they see. <<Snip>>
Bloggers - Think again if you believe you need anything more than 1GB of space. You could type blog posts until you are blue in the face before you come close to using 1GB(unless you incorporate a lot of videos and images)
Forum owners - Considering most forums are text based, forums use hardly any bandwidth. If you run a highly active forum, eventually you will start consuming decent amounts of disk space. However, there is no way that a shared host would allow such a forum to exist on the servers. You will be shut down before you use even a fraction of that 100gb/1000tb.
What should you consider than? If you see a host offering such impossible amounts of resources for an even more impossible price, look elsewhere. If you want a decent service, look to spend $5-10/m for a reasonable amount of disk space and bandwidth.

how much disk space and bandwidth would be needed to run a single Wordpress blog. I'm not a popular name, so I doubt I will have too many viewers besides my closest friends. In addition, I tend to make layouts which are a "teensy-bit" graphic-heavy :p
Is 2GB (disk space) and 30GB (bandwidth) supposedly enough?
My datacenter has told me about my server sending high amount of outbound bandwidth from my server:
During the attack time my email logs, I found several messages:
cpdavd failed @ Thu Nov 6 12:21:18 2008. A restart was attempted
automagically.
Question #1. How can I check which user is using cpdavd (connect from their PC to the home folder)
I suspect someone is connecting their PC to my server and uses very high bandwidth!
The datacenter says the attack is still going on when they plug in the server.
Question #2. How can I check what is sending outgoing traffic on the server right now?
The most important requirement is that the webhost must be fast. It must have alot of bandwidth.
The disc space is not so important. 200 MB would be enough.
It must have PHP, MySQL and phpmyadmin installed.
Must be accesable through FTP.
There are offcourse more requirements. But the main thing is that i want it to be fast.
My pages will be only informative and exists of just mainly text and an image every now and then.
Do you know any fast webhosts that is good to handle websites with large amounts of visitors?
I'm looking for something around 6 dollars per month.
I dont know much about webhosting at all, so i'd appreciate any help i can get
Also i see websites where you can register a domain. But the prices vary, isn't a domain just a domain? What makes this price difference?
