Mid-level (1GB RAM) VPS With Strong Support
Dec 8, 2008
My university runs a website to help students find rentals in the general area. We recently ran into some billing issues with our current VPS host, and we're trying to move to a new VPS.
I have some experience finding cheap VPSs (I use Slicehost for a 256MB RAM VPS), but this one has different requirements. Our current VPS provides us with 1GB of RAM, and we don't want to go below this. Also, the VPS we use gives great tech support to my boss (who only knows the very basics about technology). We'd also strongly prefer a VPS that comes with Cpanel.
Does anyone have any recommendations for other VPSs that meet these requirements?

Is there any preset criteria for it like Level 1 includes a, b & c, Level 2 includes d, e & f and level includes x, y & z?
I know the difference in General but, I wanted a specific answer.

Just joined and this is my first post. I wanted to give a reveiw of [url]from both a web-hosting and file-hosting provider.
I've been with urldownload.com for about 4 years and the service has been nothing short of excellent. What I love most about urldownload.com is that they don't throttle BW or start choking your service when you start really getting a lot of hits or x-fer rates.
I've been with other hosts and it never fails...they usually get you in on what seems to be an unbelievable service and a dirt-cheap price, but once you really start using them a lot the problems arise (host unavailable, BW exceeded, etc.) For reference here are my stats: [url]
Of the 4 years with urldownload.com I've experienced 4 outages lasting on average 20mins max (and the 20min one was for a hot-swap of a bad drive in their RAID -5 array), oh that make me feel so good that they use RAID 5! They also respond very quickly to tickets...but honestly, 4 times in 4 years...I don't even think about outages.
I highly recommend them. For reference my site, which is running on their servers is: [url]

We want buy something around:
2 x Xeon 2.8Ghz // good Core 2 Duo/Quad
2GB RAM // 3-4
150 GB SATA
And connection... normally we use around 15 Mb at peaks/day but recently we got attacking by DDoS above 100 Mb.
We need some true protection or resisting on port 1 Gbps before attackers got bored.
No protection via null routing (like 'the planet' like to 'protect').
staminus.net want 800$ for this/month. We can afford around 500$/month.

Which virtualization technology is better? Hardware level or software level? My friend suggested me to go for software level virtualization. However, I am still concerned about the technology as to which I should choose?

If a Plesk admin wants to install Wordpress, the installation always fails.
1. Select Server Management -> Tools & Settings -> Security -> Security Policy
2. Select (*) Very strong
3. Confirm with OK
4. Select Hosting Services -> Domains
2. Select Domain
3. Select Button Install Apps
4. Select Wordpress in All Available Applications
5. Select Install
6. Error message is shown!
Error: Installation of WordPress at http://lyl-canbys.de/blog failed. Your password is not complex enough. According to the server policy, the minimal password strength is Very strong. To improve the password strength, use numbers, upper and lower-case characters, and special characters like !,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,?,_,~
But the password was complex enough. with 20 numbers+charcters+special chars!
I i lower Plesks Security Policy to (*) Strong, the Wordpress installation works. But lowering Security with password length 8 is not desireable.
Plesk 12.0.18 Update #24
Linux Debian 7.7
I think this is a bug in Plesk.

I'm undecided between an upcoming dedicated hosting server and am moving between Softlayer and ThePlanet. My decision partly comes down to support.
I've read many reviews on WHT about both companies, but not necessarily comparing them from people who have experienced both.
So my questions (keep in mind this is my first dedicated. I have used VPS in the past with good support) Which offers MORE support (not better) - I'm curious which company might consider my support questions as "part of the default service package" or "need additional service plan for that" More detailed support - my usual experience with support is support staff assume you already know a high level so it may take going forward and back 5 times via email to get a full answer
Overall support satisfaction - any other comments

Who are the premium VPS companies? I have been burned enough with companies that are tryin to build client base so they can sell out.
What are the companies that have been around for a while and are selling plans that make the company stable for the long term?

I've been doing some traceroutes between Chicago and Dallas. Tracing from Chicago -> Dallas, I go through Denver almost 100% of the time. Tracing from Dallas -> Chicago, I go through Denver or Atlanta before routing to Chicago.
Is this normal? Looking at the Level 3 network map there seems to be several, much shorter routes.

I am just wondering how can the root perform ftp tasks where my root login is sitting idle and what about pts/0 and pts/1
I stopped the ftp service in cpanel and it is started automatically..

how to ban an entire top-level domain? For example ban everyone from Russia by coming from the .ru domain? Or everyone from Lithuania by somehow banning everyone coming from .It ip address.
I've had some people from those places try to hack my site and am fed up with it. So I want to ban those two entire countries for the time being using cPanel X's "IP Deny Manager".
By the way I am not a technical person. Just your every day person running a site.

I have my personal and business websites through Cpanel - which has a backup facility in it. I also have a WebHost Manager, which has a backup option in there. Then.. I can log into HyperVM, and there is another backup option there. This is all running on a VPS.
So - should i be running backups on all 3 levels? Which should I be running backups on, and which is the recommended course of action? The sites are not all that active.. a one week data loss would not be catastrophic - though, if any new clients in that period of time they'd have to re-sign up. I'm currently running backups 3 times a week via WebHost Manager... but suddenly had a fear that maybe I need to run the Cpanel and HyperVM backups too?

I've been carrying some weird hours lately, so I'm able to see activity on my sites that I normally don't see.
Certain IPs are trying to diddle their things into my server and need the boot. It's not consistent (ie not happening every 5, 10 mins)... it's periodically throughout the months. I'll see an IP I blocked 2 months ago just randomly show up at 4:30am and try accessing the same files it was probing during it's last visit. Assuming this is just some sort of bot, can I block it permanently?
I know APF has a collection system that purges an IP list to keep it from bloating, and I had PSM do some hardening so I'm not entirely sure about the workings of APF firewall. So far my IP blocks are blank (which is a good sign!), but I'd like to add some nuisances to it, to keep their crap from appearing in my error logs anymore as "Denied by Server Configuration"
My question is: Can I block people at server level permanently? I do not want their IP being taken out with the purge list that comes by every so often.
