to ask about this offer (millenniumdata dot com/BUSINESS/Business-Default.asp?include=Business-Dedicated-Servers.asp) I found. They have live chat support so i talked with someone and what he did say me is: servers come with Fedora and whole LAMP environment installed, you can SSH to the server, and install VNC, you have full ADMIN rights to install anything you wish, servers are not managed (he said that they are Managed in the sense that they are monitoring PING POWER and PIPE), they can Re-image to default for free, no setup fee, month to month payment.
I didn't use any dedicated server, I only used shared hosting. What I planed is to move my OpenX (former names OpenAds and phpAdsNew) installation to this server for now to see who is that working. I think that server is capable to run it, since it is currently run on shared hosting.
Why can't we have Unlimited data on dedicated servers? People say data costs alot of money so dedicated server providers cannot offer unlimited monthly data, but why don't hosting companies lay their own underground/underwater cables coz then they cud charge what they want? Or talk to the current cable owners and see if they can get unlimited data deals.
When u think about it, when u get satellite tv, they don't say u can only watch 100 hours of tv per month, coz u can watch as much tv as u want,yet the satellite still uses data, so y is this not the same for dedi providers?
I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.
I use shared web hosting service to get my website online. I'm wondering how many people use dedicated servers or virtual private servers instead and pay from $20 to several hundreds of dollars? Will I face any big problem with shared web hosting package which makes me choose dedicated servers?
I am working with a software package that processes uploaded videos then stores them on the server (similar to a youtube clone script) then embeds them in a page for watching / sharing. The software is basic, doesn't have multi-server capabilities. Is there a way to have the directory the software stores the files in actually mapped to another server so when people watch the movies all the embedding is done on the current server, however the video source is streamed from the second server.
I guess something like a sym-link ? (not sure if that's the right term).
Just looking for some pointers so I can fiddle and get a working outcome.
What are the different ways to have 2 dedicated server work together so i have 0% down time.
I have 2 D. servers. My goal or mission is?
I want to use both servers for web hosting.
Some url will be hosted with one server and the other url will be hosted on other server. For exmaple on Server ONE, i will host X and Y url. But on server TWO i will have a mirror of data for X and Y url.
This means i will have Data of accounts on both servers but one server will host dns of some urls, while other server will host nds of other urls. But both server will have same hosting accounts (mirror = THIS IS DONE THROUGHT WHM/CPANEL).
HOWEVER MORE IMPORTANT, I want to have all my hosting accounts(url) on both server so if my one sever goes down i will I can have the other server have all url ready to work.
I am tryig to do this WITH-IN my domain dealer WITH NS.
If not, what can I do to make use of both of my servers so if one goes down I can not have down time per say. At the same time I will not ran into this email problems? Plus use both server for hosting, too?
Has anyone pulled off a mass server move during the middle of the night? We have decided 350 E Cermak is where we want to be but are still working out the details of where we want to be in the building.
While the final details are being finished, I need to come up with some kind of plan to pull the move off with the least amount of downtime. Our current dc is about 4 miles away from 350 Cermak and we have approximately 50 servers to move. I plan on leaving a linux box around to redirect any traffic that is ignoring TTLs.
I was thinking the best thing to do would be label and remove all harddrives, then see if a moving company could put the servers on palettes, wrap them, and move them to 350 E Cermak. Not sure if a moving company would work in the middle of the night or not.
Courier services are pretty much out. Anytime we have had a courier service move anything not in a massive box with padding, it gets bent or broken.
We are currently building out our new server room and are currently unsure which UPS system to purchase.
Does any one have any experience with either the APC Symmetra LX or Liebert Nfinity systems? We require ~8kva. Both units appear to be very similar in specs and both allow expandability.
We have an older CardKey system in place here and are looking to do some updates. Anyone know of distributors of Pegasus software to manage the systems? Dealing with Johnson directly has been a huge pain and they are never around when you need them. I am in the Dallas area just looking for contacts on managing the systems.
i know maybe it is wrong for this topic to be here, but i am going to focus on my question in technically .
my question is " how backorder systems work? " .
i dont want description of them, i know they check the domain over and over and register it as soon as be available.
what i mean is what system they do to check the availability of domain better ? public whois database's are caching and not return the realtime result.
so what they do ? do they contact directly to internic whois servers ? or they use "whois" linux command?
anybody know what they do to get realtime domain check?
My lease with LayeredTech is about to renew, so I am looking for better deals, and I found several $23 $24 $30 dedicated offers here. How are those servers/network/dc comparing to layeredtech?
I have not been looking for 2 years, because I was in other business. Badly needing a update on server industry now.
I thought utility bills are up, inflation is high, so it is a shock to see the price of dedicated servers are falling.
Does anyone know of a dedicated servers in USA/Canada that allow IRCd, and the price is UNDER $70/mo.
A server that has atleast 1GHz of processing power is good, such as a (Dual) P3 or a Celeron, or anything better. It needs atleast 512MB of ram, and atleast 10GB IDE/SCSI (SCSI preferred, not needed) HDD. And with atleast 1TB+ bandwidth.
Netdirekt has a $50 server which is what I need, though its in Germany, I prefer a USA/Canada server.
Currently I run my forum with a host that is having too much downtime for my liking. I run a new forum on vBulletin with 210 + members with 1-5 new members. My main requirements are PHP5, MySQL5 and OpenSSL. What would your suggestions be for a host / server specification? Unfortunately as I am not using any advertising so my monthly budget is rather low ($50). We currently have a dedicated server with a 2.4ghz processor and 512mb ram but I would be more than happy to move to a vps if it would be more reliable.
We are developing a new web site that will be collecting private information (no credit cards - only names, phones, email addresses and potentialy addresses etc).
Our company will be based in the EU and the target audience will largely be located in the EU.
We were thinking of using some of the very respected US companies like theplanet or softlayer that have very good prices for a quality service instead of the more expensive and less flexible EU based solutions.
But I was wondering whether this would violate the EU privaxy regulations (not sure if softlayer or theplanet are part of the US Safe Harbor) or whether there would be a way to cover ourselves (e.g. special contractual binds with the provider (which i am hoping would be part of their standard SLA/T&C) or by mentioning in the Terms & conditions of our site that data will be stored in the US.
I sharing File system using NFS between 2 mailservers running postfix on CentOS 5.2.The mail servers shares the base mail directory of virtual users e.g. /home/vmail.
It appears to run fine since last couple of months,just requires feedback if anybody already tried sharing mail directories between 2 or more mail servers.
Or is there any alternate solution for sharing data between servers?
I tried installing CentOS 64bit using windows image and vnc that comes with HyperVM and it says (your cpu does not support long mode. use a 32 bit distribution), and if I try to install Windows Server 2008 I get blue screen with a stop and error.
I have had enough of email problems that constantly happen on a server. For about three weeks now I have been dealing with email issues that I am going out of my mind. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a email scheme that will work. Here is what I would like to do. Disable Exim COMPLETELY. Either setup a server for email only or find a email solution. Email will be pointed ONLY by way of DNS.Once I get email fixed on this box it works for a day and next thing you know it's all messed up again. Somehow etc/localdomains and etc/remotedomains either vanish or get over written plus a bunch of other things including permissions.All I know is this is getting ridiculous.I don't want any sort of email system on this box. I want all my email to go though DNS only to another server. We already have on service that we use for Exchange, so all the MX Records point to that server, but email still has to interact with this server first, which I don't want it to.
I'm looking for a UK based server that allows the following:
-Legal Adult Content -IRC until it becomes an issue -Download Sites -Legal Bit Torrent
Need somewhere that has servers with over 4gb of ram (that should be everywhere these days, but you never know). Need CentOS 64bit offered. Anywhere in the UK is fine. 100mb port. At least 1500gb of bandwith. Fairly cheap bandwidth.
I know thats a pretty loose description i know, but does anyone have any suggestions?
