Monster Server! However, With A Catch
May 28, 2008
My client currently have news website that gets around 2.5 million average hits (number of requests) per day. Currently the site is hosted on single enterprise class server in a local data center (in Asia). Some days with breaking news the traffic peaks up and the website become unresponsive for several hours. 60% of the traffic is local and the other 40% is mostly from US and Europe.
My client is on a best available server on his local IDC and the IDC doesn't have anything further to offer, hardware or technology wise. In the same time client doesn't want to drop the local IDC as the 60% of his traffic is local.
What are my options?
1. I'm looking for a multi processor server with 8GB ram/10K 2X400GB SAS HDD's. In general, do I really need this type of server to serve 1 million hits?
2. What type of providers that you recommend for the above requirement?
3. I mainly need to route the US/Europe traffic to a US server or at least blindly route 50% of the traffic to a US server. How do I do this?
-- 3.a. Can this be done with software load balancing or something like Round Robin world work? Or how do we do this?
-- 3.b. What type server Admin's or management providers who can help clients with similar service (see 3.a)?
-- 3.c. Does Cloaking type of thing helps?

Is it a good idea to move all those to a single monster server?
quad core dual intel 5345, 32/64GB RAM, 8x73 SCSI 10K Raid 10

Does anyone know if HostMonster.com, HostPapa.com and BlueHost.com are all and the same company?
They seem to have very similar features, present their information in almost the same way, and have close to the same prices.

I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.

I have many domains on my mail servers using catch-all accounts. Due to this they receive a large number of spam and also the mail queue is always high. As a result, I have been thinking of disabling the catch-all account entirely on all the mail servers. I am however, not sure whether to do it or not. Are there any other companies which have disabled the catch-all facility in their mail servers? Shall I proceed towards disabling the catch-all facility?

Going through [url] Installing_Moodle I came to see the thumb rule of 1GB RAM for 50 concurrent users. While I do not think it is mentioned for VPS, it may imply around 15 concurrent users for 256 MB RAM. A cheap shared hosting can handle that easily without moodle chat. I have heard that VPS is more powerful than typical shared hosting. But, if it is only powerful for the root access but not for handling larger users then it looks like a dilemma situation.

how good is adding SPF to a host with catch-all emails in preventing spams. Web hosts suggest to turn off the catch-all emails. But what if there is need to turn catch-all emails, then does SPF record do a good job in preventing hacker from sending out emails that appear to originate our web host?

I have several domains configured in my Plesk, and one of them is set as the "Detault site" under Home >> Tools & Setings > IP address management.This has the unpleasant side effect that any domain I point to this IP renders content from the Default site unless it's setup. How can I configure the default site to render content from only one domain?

existing account have enabled catch all account automatically & i don't know how?
Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings
Default catch-all/default address behavior for new accounts. "fail" is usually the best choice if you are getting mail attacks.
currently it is tick marked on fail
And forwarders has been set to e.g jeetu@jeetu.info to domain automatically & also i don't how?
when i try to delete this forwarder its shown deleted successfully
Code:
Email Forwarding Maintenance
jeetu@jeetu.info's mail will no longer be redirected to jeetu.
then again i checked forwarder & found that forwarder is not deleted why?
what could be the problem?
due to this our clients are facing out of disk space running problem & they are not able to get future emails
1. now i want to disable catch all account for all existing accounts at one go
2. also i want to terminate forwarders for all existing users at one go
Let me know how to do this
Check attachment for further reference

I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server.
What I've got running:
Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix
One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.
Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??

I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.
However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices
Obtain Demo License
Buy License
Activate Pre-Purchased License
I choose ‘Activate Pre-Purchased License’ pop in the Serial number and complete the registration then…
---------------------------------------------------------
Urchin Licensing Center -- Error!
An error has occured during your transaction, please use the back button and correct the problem. The specific error message is:
• Unable to generate a license. Some possible reasons:
Your serial code is currently active <<< How do I disable it and use it on another server?
---------------------------------------------------------
So all I want to do is deactivate the serial and reactivate it on another server.
Does anyone have experience with this or a similar problem or have a solution to this problem. Any help be most appriciated.
Or even a Contact Number so that i can get some one over the phone!

This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.
