I was wondering about what software can be used in a client-server architecture to collect bandwidth usage at one server, from several nodes at dispersed server locations.
Let us say I have two servers in two datacenters, and I want to collect the bandwidth usage (actual and 95th percentile) in a third server.
I understand collectd can do this in a client server setup, but I don't think it does 95th percentile. So I was looking for what other setups I can make easily.
You know we done some great job on tweaking up WHMCS and also I think that we done some great job on setting up multi locations on WHMCS (almost 6
months hard work, almost hard…joke). Ok enough about us
So, actually we will show you some trick how to get coded WHMCS files work property for you.
You may think that it is another boring topic of how to or something, but unfortunately it’s not
I was looking for a lot of information of how to tweak up WHMCS and DirectAdmin together, but could find only bits and pieces of it…
In the mean time I would like to dedicate this topic to anyone who is currently seeking new web hosting services.
I had done one more post about how to get moving around hosting control panels, but still writing proper review about that confusing transfer process.
Choosing a web host for your business is one of the most important decisions you can make. If your site is down, your business is down. If you are
serious about your website and want to get solutions to your common hosting problems, this article will give you ten good reasons to choose for a global hosting company.
1.Hosting companies that work globally have different Data Centre to better service their customers. In case of a hardware failure, the system will automatically redirect traffic to the nearest Data Centre.
Don’t let server downtime and a slow connection cost you money!
2.Because of the different Data Centre, the backup systems are always secure. If a disaster strikes where your computer is located, your data remains safe in a remote location.
3.Global Hosting Companies work with a live support system. You can manage all aspects of your account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No time zones for services provided.
4.A support team is available 24/7 via phone and email to provide top-level support when you need it.
5.Because of the variety of customers from different continents, global hosting companies are able to offer flexible systems. They give prompt reaction time to customers’ needs and expectations.
6.Global hosting companies offer multiple compatible languages and language capabilities
7.Offering support of multiple database engines and both versions of PHP 4 and PHP 5 applications.
8.A support team routinely updates your server’s operating system and hardware with the newest updates, latest security patches and upgrades to ensure maximum security.
9.Global hosting companies have an experienced migration team to do all proper migration planning so that the transition can take place without a hitch.
10.Most global hosting companies have their own community website that allows customers to communicate and offer advice, and to share ideas and business solutions with each other.
Starting a business is difficult and picking the best out of thousands of web hosting companies out there is very crucial. Pick the right company to go with.
There are many companies providing great web hosting services so feel free to search for one that suits your needs.
Please review any additional information maybe I forgot to mention something…
Also I got some bad reviews of my first post in forum; even some people treated my post as a spam, but in some way information sharing in not
Currently my company's websites are hosted on a dual xeon beast with 8 gigs of ram and two SaS raid 5 arrays(i think). The bottle neck occurs with our single T1 connection. Our traffic is using an average of 97% of that T1 24 hours a day. We're looking into adding another T1 at the price of $600 monthly (bandwidth is expensive in our rural area).
I'm wondering if moving to two less powerful dedicated machines (one for db and one for apache) in a datacenter would be a better use of our money. For instance, The Planet is offering a Intel Xeon 3040 1.8 GHz Dual Core server with 1gb of ram and cPanel (something we don't have but I would prefer to have) for $175/month. Two of those would be cheaper and free up bandwidth for user PC's in-house.
i have the need to be able to have a monitoring software that could check and monitor the status of my diferent servers and vps hosting accounts. So when a server goes down i can have a report of wich component of the server failed, so i can identify faster, server problems.
The software sould also check the most number of server features, like:
FTP DNS APACHE DOMAINS PING DATABASES ETC
In a simple way, wich are the best programs to make this job done.
im willing to pay for a professional, simple, and reliable software.
My group is thinking about building a dual xeon clovertown server that we will be using to hosting multiple gaming servers. We currently have a server at The Planet but would like to get away from that since their high performance servers cost $300+ /month.
With that being said I will need somewhere to get the box coloed and having trouble finding providers that don't charge an arm and a leg for hosting.
I have admins in Las Vegas NV, Huston TX, and Memphis TN so anyone of those places I can get good latency too would be ideal.
The best deal so far I have found was colo4dallas that would cost us $100/month for colo and give us 200gig of bw but I would really like the server to be located in one of the cities I listed above incase something broke and we needed to send someone in.
Can anyone recommend a colo provider in one of those locations?
Anyone have information on the following states for Colo?
Virginia St. Louis D.C. Dallas
I'd like to get links to sites who offer these locations. I currently hold a deal with 1/2 Rack and 75.00 a meg with 5 carries. Trying to find different states to locate.
Few months back we migrated to a new server (Layered tech Savvis to Databank)
All has been running smoothly, better than before the move.
Over the last week we have had reports from a few clients in various locations across australia and a few in the uk that they can not access the server.
The DNS is resolving correctly for them and traceroutes have not proven anything.
Layered tech have not been real helpful, eventually they put me onto their network department who ran a global test which came back as the server being accessible from everywhere.
I was on this site a while ago and someone shared a link to a site that would ping a given IP from multiple locations around the globe and give the output. Does anyone know of a site that would do this?
I have a client who says his site is currently down. He can not get to any sites on my dedicated server.
However, I can get to all sites just fine and have not seen any downtime. My host tech support says the server is online and responsive and has closed my ticket.
Ping tests (at www.just-ping.com) show severe packet loss from almost all locations (see screen shot below)
How else can I test if my server is visible from multiple locations? Are there other tools/sites I can try?
We are currently looking for a location in Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Has anyone had any experiences with data centers in these locations? We are looking for 1U of space and around 1000GB of monthly data transfer. We'd like to find a good balance of price and quality.
This week there was some one who asked me if he would have 100% uptime having his web site hosting in 2 different locations, with one server name pointing to a webhost, and the other server name pointing to a second web host.
For instance I want to host example.com on WebHostA and WebHostB
WebHostA's DNS are ns1.webhosta.com ns2.webhosta.com
WebHostB's DNS are ns1.webhostb.com ns2.webhostb.com
And he would set for instance for example.com: ns1.webhostb.com ns1.webhosta.com
He doesn't have a database, just a static page. For e-mail, he would configure 2 e-mail accounts in his email client, using the IP address of both web hosts to make sure he doesn't lose emails.
Wouldn't that work? He should have 100% uptime this way,
I am relatively new to Apache and have a query. On an Apache 2.2 server I have built.
I have 2 urls coming in from 2 locations. I need to forward these urls on, one to a backend weblogic the other will be proxypass'ed on.
The problem I have is that the 2 URL's are identical incoming and outgoing so I am struggling to identify between them.
I have been able to manipulate one of the incoming URLs so it drops through the proxypass but when I rewrite it it then drops back into the proxypass.
How I can separate this traffic? I guess using virtualhosts would be ideal but are unfortunately not available for me. Restrictions on new IP addresses and ports. This is an example of the config.
I already have a server in Malaysia that I am using to run an asain based site. Off a .asia domain.
I am currently in Malaysia just now and I noticed especially on the weekends the networks seem to slow alot in Malaysia due to everyone playing games at the Cyber Cafes (its what they do instead of pubs).
While back in home the UK the Internet seems super fast all the time due to are advanced infrustructure.
Now should I use my server in Malaysia (ultra cheap prices) to host the site so or get a server in Europe preferably America?
The pros i see for Malaysia is the potential brides in asia will get quick access to the site.
The pros for Europe or America is the customer base will get quick access.
I might be wrong about this, maybe the speed wont; be affected to much either way, but I am a newb
Also if i was to have both a server in America and one in Asia could I link them together under that same site name? and how would that work with the database?
We have a VPS with Media Temple. Their data center is somewhere on the westcoast. From time to time we have severe issues to connect from our Brooklyn/NY locations. We experienced the connectivity issue from 2 physical locations. Doing a tracert gave us a good result.
There are usually 4-8 users using our shop admin for order processing or the shopping cart for manual order entry. While they are having problems connecting from there, I can connect just fine from Calgary/AB, Canada. Most of the time no issues at all.
After a few years with apache 2.2 I decided to try apache 2.4 Both are running on windows 7. I had to recompile my modules against the new api, but that was succesful. I am now confronted that the rewrite rule for one of my locations :
If anyone can help me in doing this, I'd appreciate it. I searched to see if anyone had already done this, but I didn't find anything so my apologies if this has been answered before.
Here's what I have: 1 dedicated server with a static ip of course and currently, I run all my sites off of this machine as well as my few clients. The server is running CentOS and Apache.
What I want to do is build a new server at my house/office and create a secondary webserver that mirrors my current setup. I've heard about using Rsync to do this, but I want to know if it'll allow for the balancing effect I'm looking for.
Rather than use this 2nd server as a backup only, I want also use it for dns resolution. Right now, all my sites are using two nameservers (NS1.2D.NET and NS2.2D.NET), but they both point to the same IP address at the same location. I want NS2.2D.NET to point to this 2nd server for redundancy (in case the other location goes down) and also for balancing (to spread traffic over two servers instead of just one).
Eventually what I'm going to do is move all my clients and websites to one location again, but my own location so I can save the expenses of dedicated hosting off-site. However, I want to use this setup as a test to see if my own location will be able to handle the traffic and such.
I'd like to have the ability to offer hosting in two geographical and network diverse locations for both Apache and MySQL. Two entirely different instances, with different everything. ie: high avail to the max. Obviously the MySQL part is harder due to the dynamic nature.
I can appreciate the technical aspects of the question - such as data needing to replicate to 2 locations, dealing with static versus dynamic data, etc. In short, there's a few ways this could be done.
I've not been able to find a guide in my Google searches, but I'm sure this is something that has been setup before.
If you're someone with experience in having had set this up, perhaps it would be easiest if we just speak directly and work something out, either via payment or giving you a dedicated server on my network. My AIM name is IGSOBEHELPER.
Please note that I am hoping to start a technical discussion about this, hence I am not posting the message in the employment section. I hope this is not off topic because of this.
I have two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
Depending on where u are at on my site (documents pages, training, main root, etc.) will depend on which type of background, footer, header and the like you'll get. Now I was thinking. Is there a way to have multiple error messages for more then one page depending on where you are at on a site? Right now it's intranet site and a modded snitz forum. What is the code and were does it go and in which apache conf file(s) does it go in?
Has anyone ever experienced first hand about CalPop Datacenter i hear they are good wanna see feedback from the WHT members i gotten a really good deal!
I started a poll the poll will be up for 24 hours!
I'm looking around for a nice, cheap colo place for a Dell PE 2650 I just purchased...
Requirements
* At least burstable to 10Mbit... dedi 10 is nice.. 100 is nicer..
* About 1000GB xfer should be good to start, I guess I can work with less
* Cheap IPs with no problems obtaining more
* Cheap remote hands since there's really not much in the RI/MA area. I will be going to school in upstate NY so I guess something around there would be cool too. I'm willing to ship anywhere though.
* Discounted/included DirectAdmin would be really nice...
* Not going to be selling IRCd stuff unless it's allowed and nice firewalls. I will probably only use it for a personal IRCd and irssi session.
Prospects
* Joe's Datacenter [url]
This company seems too good to be true... they offer great services for great prices and have many good features. I also spoke to an admin who said he will be able to include a DirectAdmin license for free. They include 5 IPs right off the bat. I got about a reply in an hour at like midnight from Joe (or just another Joe) himself.. and I'm not even a customer! They do free reboots. $50 to colo our 2U with 1500GB and 100Mbit. It's 25 extra for unmetered w/10Mbit but I'm sure the admin would be willing to just offer more b/w staying at 100Mbit instead of moving to a 10Mbit port.
* FDC Servers
Great reputation.. Pretty good prices for what I would imagine to be quality service. Not much more I can say about them.. Did not ask them about DirectAdmin.
Conclusion
I think I'm mainly just looking for any input on Joe's Datacenter because I really think I want to start my company there. If anyone has any better offers I'm open to anything.. but DirectAdmin would be really nice... just remember that.
I'm also looking for a solution to HyperVM... LxLabs (to-be LxCenter I guess?) is now releasing it for free.. I'm not sure if it's patched yet or not though. I think I might just start with HyperVM for now since noone is going to target us.. seriously.. we are two kids with like 2 clients right now. We can always migrate later if HyperVM never takes off again.
What if i got a really good connection to this house i have in Sweden and bought some servers there, is it a good idea and would it sell? How hard is it to get a good connection, the house is in a fairly populated area of Sweden and i have partners who could help run it and do support 24 hours.
But its just a thought and we would start small. What do you guys think?
