Is there any VPS Provider that does Managed Hosting but also as part of that managed service, installs 3rd party scripts whenever needed?
I have been using Future Hosting and they were providing this for me but have been told today that they have changed their policy and will no longer install 3rd Party scripts.
This is first time i am writing about hostgator using there service since 4 years.
I have 3 dedicated servers purchased with them within last 6 months and orderd for 4th server on 31st Aug 08. And now as business is growing i will need more and more servers every 2- 3 month. But its seems hostgator is not interested in business as they had already grown now. Even they don't care of their loyal customers who are them with years.
On 3rd day of orderd they told me my server will be deliverd within next 24 hours and on 4th day i contact them serveral times they keep on repiting they will upate and then they said server is out of stock and will be available soon and today is 5th day still there is no reply from them and when i contact them they clearly have no idea about it. Some says will get it soon and when i show my ticket. they say its still out of stock . When i contact with theplant.com datacenter they told me the server is available to order and are never out of stock.
I dont know whats actual reason.
Please help me guys to find good manage dedicated server host so i can cancel my order with them and go to another good company.
I work for a small web design firm with about 100 clients/domains and we are starting the search for a new hosting provider. We need a managed dedicated server with an offsite backup. We are also looking for a company that knows what they are talking about. If we have a Linux or server question they need to be able to give us a quick straight answer. Also, if they could help us transfer all our hosting accounts from our current server over to the new one that would be a BIG plus.
We have been thinking about Rackspace or 1and1.com but were wondering what the community thought. Any recommendations?
We have been looking at utilizing something like nocmonkey or similar to make OS reinstalls easier on our servers. My real need is to be able to do this remotely if and when I can't have someone onsite do this to help speed up turning up a server where a client has cancelled, and we are reinstalling CentOS to turn up to new client.
I'm almost certain there is no quick and easy way to do a OS reinstall remotely without utilizing something like NOCmonkey, correct?
I do have KVM/IP so I was curious if there is a way remotely to do this that is possible because of the KVM/IP?
Godaddy provides some quick-install apps on Hosting manage page, I got WordPress installed and found the robots.txt file disallows any search engines, it reads:
User-agent: * Disallow: /
you need to modify the file manually, does anyone have the problem? see more at http://rhineblog.com/2009/02/wordpress-installed-by-godaddy-disallows-search-engine-robots.html
When a colo vendor can consider themselves as a managed colocation provider? What make them different than *normal* colo service?
If you need a managed colo, why not go with managed server? With managed server, your vendor will take care about the server health, including software and hardware too
(I am mentioning to fully managed server vendors like Rackspace, don't tell me cheap managed servers)
I've always had hosting where everything is pretty much already setup. I am now considering getting my own dedicated server. I see most good packages are Self Managed Servers.
I'm not a system admin and never had any experience managing and setting up my own server. Is this a lot of work? Is this something that is also pretty easily learned or does this really take a lot of knowledge?
We're starting a new video sharing project much like YouTube, so there will be lots of video conversation taking place, as well as high volume traffic on a website driven primarily by PHP and MySQL. It is very important that the company be able to host adult content.
We are looking for a managed VPS under $40. This is not a hard cap. We've been looking at EarthVPS but would like to check out more companies before making a decision. The price point that EarthVPS offers is relatively in the right spot. We are looking for comparable resources as well.
EarthVPS offers 50GB of space, 1000GB bandwidth for $35 a month. Keeping in mind cPanel is $12 more per month.
What is EarthVPS' reputation? Are there any other companies out there that offer a managed VPS service at around the same price point with roughly the same resources?
One of my sites needs a vps of its own... the hosts ive tried so far have not been very satisfying (uptime wise) but i will not list them because they had a 30day refund policy and that alone is enough to say thanks and a friendly goodbye.
What im looking for in a vps... (atleast) -10gb filespace -200gb bandwidth -Managed -Cpanel -Unlimited domains/sqls (would be nice to add on some domains) -Reasonable setup time -Money back garuntee (not a must but id lean more towards hosts that offer) -Reasonable uptime (i know 100% isnt possible.. least 80%?) -Located near southern california is a plus
I think i nailed pretty much everything im looking for unless i forgot something. Thanks for the recommends in advance!
My budgets about $50 by the way.. (can pay more depending on the host)
I'm having a little trouble with setting up DNS. I'm not sure if it's setup right, and it's acting slow the *first time* you connect (but normal until you reconnect again, wait 3 minutes).
3 domains at 000domains.com. 5 DNS each domain at dnsmadeeasy.com. Reseller plan with dedicated IP at polurnet.com.
- At dnsmadeeasy I enter the domain daemn.com and IP. - At 000domains I register n1-ns5.daemn.com with my 5 DNS IPs. - At 000domains I update daemn.com's DNS to n1-n5.daemn.com - At 000domains I add A record with daemn.com's IP. - At WHM I edit daemn.com's DNS to ns1-ns5.daemn.com - At WHM I change daemn.com's A records ns1-ns5 to the 5 DNS IPs.
I repeated the same for the other 2 domains. Looks like they gave me the same DNS IP's for all 3 domains though.
On top of all that, I added subdomains in cPanel (which added A records for them) and they still haven't resolved (5ish hours). Didn't take this long before. I wonder if I need to add A records at 000domains too, or I did this all wrong.
I'm looking for Managed VPS in Europe (for example UK, can be DE but with english website and support) or ultimately in USA (DC in east coast) with DirectAdmin panel.
I need about 10-20 GB hdd, 60-80GB transfer/month. The company should be already several years on the market...
would like to move to a VPS plan, many has already mentioned that managing VPS is not easy in which it is kinda scary for me! but may I ask what are the main things that I need to know to manage a VPS host.
from my experience on a shared host with cpanel I know how to manage domains, subdomains, backups, traffic-analyze, mysql-databases, myphpadmin, ... etc.
Now if I get a VPS host with cpanel, do I need any extra experience to mange it? if so, what are they ...
I see some hosts provide fully managed VPS. If that's the case, what does that mean exactly? Does it mean the host manages updates and backups and that kind thing? what other maintenance does full managed VPS can provide besides updates and backups?
I have a java-based instant-messaging server application, which I need to host on a VPS.
This server application comes with its own Java Virtual Machine.
I do not need any other software than that, no web server, no database, no PHP, no multiple domains or whatever, because that stuff is hosted on another server So I assume, I will just need an unmanaged VPS. Am I right or is there more to it?
Do I have to install and manage firewall and security on unmanaged VPS, or is that done by the provider?
What about monitoring? Any other issues I need to take into consideration?
I am shopping around for managed colocation right now. My biggest thing is support and network reliability. Right now I have a server that's colocated but unmanaged. As my sites are becoming larger, they are becoming more prone to DDOS attacks and other server-related problems and, as of right now, I have nobody to help me when my server dies.
So, support and DDOS protection is very important. In sum, my criteria are: 24/7 support that will help me resolve all server related issues Monitoring 24/7 DDOS protection
Good connectivity to: USA, Canada, UK, and (as a curveball) Australia (AU is least important though) Only 1-2mbps uplink
Based on this, what managed colocation services would match me and my criteria?
we have several sites, that have www & email hosted in separate locations. we currently have our server redirect mail out. but if the server is slow, down, or other issues, it may not re-route the MX records out.
Would a managed DNS service help? i assume this means i could route services before they hit the server.
