Maintenance For Windows VPS
Jun 25, 2009
Windows normally require far more frequent patching than Linux. There is one issue with VPS. Everytime we do maintenance we need to reboot the server and the VPS are affected. Normally for VPS I thought the best method will be to remote into the VPS first to shut them all down before rebooting the main server.
Issue is sometimes clients want security and do not give us these passwords. If we were to shut down by the main server interface and reboot, won't it harm the VPS? For those doing maintenance, what are your ways of overcoming these?

I know that after you have been running a site for a while you will have some "clutter" after a while. For example, email boxes that are not used might be taking up a lot of space because they are getting spammed.

today i received this email from BurstNET, really i am chocked from what happened.
BurstNET™/NOCSTER™ Network Mailing List Members;
BURSTNET Network Maintenance Update - Saturday, September 20th, 2008
Please be advised that the network maintenance performed on Saturday, September 20th, 2008, starting at 2AM EST was unsuccessful.
Due to an unforeseen equipment issue (an undocumented Cisco™ limitation) that did not appear until after live traffic was flowing, the maintenance was not able to be completed as planned. The maintenance was nearing completion, at which time live traffic was brought online on the new equipment. The live traffic immediately caused multiple/repeat outages, and BustNET™ Network Engineering attempted to diagnose and workaround the issue. BustNET™ Network Engineering found that this was not possible at this time, and the network design would have to be altered accordingly to proceed.
Proper planning, configuration, simulation, and testing had been completed in advance of this maintenance period, however, this was a undocumented Cisco™ IOS limitation that was not found until after live traffic was brought online.
BurstNET™ Management made a decision to revert back to old equipment/configuration, to get our client base back online, until which time this issue can be rectified/resolved on the new equipment.
A new maintenance window will be announced shortly.
We apologize for this inconvenience, and do appreciate your patience and understanding, as we work to upgrade/improve the network for the best future performance.

I got around 5 servers running and added one more last week. Its becoming a pain managing them all. Updating, setting up new policies and restrictions, securing or whatever other tasks that are needs to be executed on ALL these servers.
Wanted to know how you guys are doing it. I know that some hosts use HSPc, HSphere, Helm, etc to manage the entire cluster. But what about the lot who use cPanel?

Dear Valued Limestone Networks Client,
You are receiving this notification because Limestone Networks has scheduled a maintenance window to perform work on several fiber cross connects which provide carrier bandwidth to our facilities. Since this will involve a minor interruption in service we are informing all of our clients of scheduled maintenance as far in advance as possible.
This maintenance window is scheduled for Friday, November 14th, 2008 from 12:00AM to 6:00AM CST. Those clients who will be affected, which is anticipated to be less than 5% of all clients, will experience a brief (5-10 minute) loss of network connectivity to their servers. We do not anticipate power loss to any servers during this maintenance window.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact us email (sales@limestonenetworks.com) via our ticket system [url] or our live chat system (www.limestonenetworks.com) if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

how do you guys do the maintenance for shared hosting SQL 2000/2005? Do you just let the customers do the maintenance, compacting and optimizing themselves or do you scheduled a task to do that?
Till now I had let my clients do that. But some clients it seemed do not really know much about this. But if we were to compact or optimize all the databases by task scheduling, I am worried that it is something against their privacy.

today i got a email form my web hosting:
"Lunarpages Web Hosting is scheduled to undergo maintenance this Saturday, January 17, 2009, at our San Diego location in order to upgrade our internal systems to be more energy efficient in our power usage, a major step in our initiative to Go Green in 2009. Unfortunately, this means that some of our servers will be unavailable for a short time while we upgrade these systems. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Below, you will find information on how to track the progress of our upgrades and the scheduled times that our servers will be undergoing these improvements.
The following times are our three scheduled maintenance windows for this upgrade. Please note that the information is in Pacific Standard Time (PST):
* Saturday, January 17, 7am-10am
* Saturday, January 17, 10am-1pm
* Saturday, January 17, 6pm-9pm
"
will this maintenance affect the rank of my website in google and other search engine?

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
