I have had my social networking site in development for a few months now, and have been using IX web hosting. Slow response times were one thing--I can handle that for now. But, especially now, emails generated by my application and sent to Yahoo are delayed by several days--apparently Yahoo is restricting the number of messages from IX servers?
My app only generates a dozen or so emails.
So ...
1) Is there a workaround with IX?
2) If I switch, should get a dedicated server? Or maybe use the cloud? I have been looking at rackspace, although I haven't received a call-back from their sales team in four days (sic)
3) Other options?
I'm trying to migrate my vps to another server, and basically I need to move the entire public_html directory from first server to the second. As its almost 2.5 gb, downloading and ftping isn't really an option, so I'm thinking i need to tar and then gzip it, and then somehow transfer it diectly.
so my question is what is the proper command to use for tar and gzip in this case? and what method to transfer. should i use wget or is there a better way. Once i have it on my destination server how do i untar it, and what path will it untar to?
I'm looking at moving the hosting of one of our clients to ourselves. (which would be through eukhost).
I've set up brand new websites before, but not existing ones.
If I leave the domain at where ever it is currently registered, I guess I can login to their Cpanel and adjust the DNS to our own servers. Is that best?
But my main question is, what happens with the email?
There might be say 50 email addresses running from this domain.
I don't want anyone to have to go editing settings in their outlook... Is it just the MX record you edit in the Cpanel of the domain, and voila, it all works off the new hosting?
I'm learning more about web hosting, but don't really know anything on the email hosting front!
I am thinking of moving my hosting to dreamhost.com,

Any link to Documentation will be a great plus.
We have a business website that is currently hosted on Windows. There is one of those generic control panels and we are now moving to Linux hosting also with a generic control panel.
All the staff has email and large email boxes. How can we move the mail from the old Windows host to the new Linux host. Both setups have dedicated IP's and yes they are on SHARED HOSTING so the tricks to change the email would be limited.
I am re-developing a website that launched 8 yeas ago. When the site launched it was developed in TCL and had an Oracle back end. The site's previous developer is still hosting the site on his server.
Long story short, we are re-developing the site on a new server at a different location. We'd like to re-launch on the old server (to help maintain Google search rankings), but we are developing in .Net and SQL. The old server is Linux. We want to maintain our ranking on Google since we are "Top Ten" on more than 20 great keyword phrases.
If we use a DNS forward from the old IP to the new one, are we going to loose rankings on Google? Obviously yes. But would it be beneficial to help the old developer buy a SQL server so the DNS forward is to a server 2 feet away as opposed to across the country? Does Google treat these equally?
Presently, my site is hosted at ICDsoft business shared account
And my site is hosted on "two Quad-core Xeon processors, 8 GB RAM and a multi-terabyte RAID 6 disk array."
I am planning on moving away from a shared account.
My site is an ecommerce site and my budget for a new server is around $100-$150 per month.
Should i transfer to a VPS or Dedicated server ?
I need a Full/complete managed server, either it be VPS or Dedicated. I dont want to get involved in setting up, securing etc. the server. I would like a Control Panel, be it Cpanel or any other with Linux System.
Also, my main concern is, how much bandwidth should be good for an ecommerce site with around 20,000 unique visitors per month, around 500,000 hits per month
I am looking into the following companies which provides VPS and Dedicated solutions:
1). Liquidweb
2). DedicatedNOW
3). Wiredtree
Are there any other companies i should look into?
Which company would be the best in terms of service and support response time? Im spoiled by ICDSoft's quick response time
Also, How much RAM would be good, since most VPS solutions have 512 to 786 MB ram?
How many Cores- Dual, Quad?
I currently use a HostGator shared plan which caps off database connections at 25. HG support said my only choice is to move to a dedicated server which means my monthly hosting cost jumps from $14.95 to $174.00! Something I'm not too excited about paying.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on Virtual Private Servers running *nix? Would a VPS be a good alternative to an expensive HG dedicated server or do you recommend I just suck it up and go dedicated? I just can't believe how much they want considering I've seen some VPS for under $100. If I did go with a VPS, would there be an easy way to move all my files, databases, SSL certs, etc to the new server?
I'm in the middle of moving a bunch of sites from one hosting company to another. For most of the sites, I downloaded the files via FTP from the original server to my local hard drive. Then I uploaded them from my hard drive to the new hosting company/server.
It seems like many of the files -- especially swf files and some image files -- were corrupted. I'm thinking something weird happened with the extensions but I'm not sure.
All extensions LOOK ok but I'm wondering if either my computer or the server is hiding an extra extension. Somewhere today, I saw a file go by called index.swf.fla, which makes no sense at all. And yet, on both the server and my computer, it just says index.swf which is what it should say.
I've been on shared hosting for nigh on 3 years now. My site suddenly started growing rapidly recently and my shared host now has requested that I move onto a VPS or Dedicated as soon as possible (I would stay with them, but they don't have VPS options sadly)
My site is an image host, a dynamic image host too.
About 80% of my visits are from the US so I have decided, even though I am UK, that I need a US VPS.
I need it to be cheap, like $30 (To start with, while I gain funds) and generally reliable.
Would anyone know where such VPSs are? I would like 300MB or more RAM and about 5-10GB of disk space. My main issue right now is quality of customer service, I don't want to end up with a company that either has poor customer service or puts extreme restrictions on activity.
I have two reseller accounts at the moment, where all my domains are spread out at the moment. And I have just purchased a VPS from SolarVPS, and I'm awaiting the account details. Is there a way that I can transfer the sites across easily, such as creating a full backup and then restoring on the new VPS, or would I have do it individually for each website?
View 12 Replies View RelatedIt's now coming to the point where I really want to consolidate all of our kit (mainly in the UK) and move to our own AS number, now I already know what routing equipment we're going to use and that is appropriate for the amount of traffic we need to carry, but what I'm stuck with now is which transit providers to use. I don't mind spending a reasonable amount on transit, but not stupid amounts. It also doesn't matter where I can pick these up as the plan we have includes our own links between buildings.
First of all let me say this is going to be a very slow process, so please do not PM me with your offers for transit, I'm not interested.
The plans are to peer at a couple of exchanges, most likely LINX and Xchangepoint, and to pick up around 3/4 transit providers. Because most UK traffic goes via peers, what I'm really looking for are the bigger providers to improve transatlantic routes rather than smaller providers which just make the hop count longer, my shortlist is currently:
Level3
Telia
T-Systems
PCCW
C&W
Interoute
GBLX
Viatel
recently moved from webhosting to VPS less than a month ago.
I got my VPS set up quite easily, however I have been experiencing a lot of downtime.
I have experienced around 60 hours of downtime in the last month itself, and i am quite pissed cause the provider claims 99.9% uptime guarantee.
I want to try out another provider but would not want to get burnt again…
Could you guys recommend any good VPS providers to me?
I would need 512 Ram / 2 IP’s >10GB Disk space and about 250-300GB bandwidth.
But one unique requirement that I have is that I need to run a few irc clients( not ircD servers, eggdrop type bots ) for my services.
Other than that the VPS would be used for a heavy duty forum and high hit website. With several other low hit websites as well.
Services wise I mainly need apache/php and mysql (heavy usage)
Anyone have thoughts about moving from APF to CSF? We are running a cPanel server and have heard lots of good things about CSF.
Anyone have details for a non-technical person?
I'm moving from a VPS to a dedicated server and most of the files/databases have been transferred.
I have a folder (with files) in the /usr/local/ folder of the VPS (chatroom software), is there anyway I can transfer them to the dedicated server in its /usr/local folder through SSH/Telenet?
I have used it before to move my MYSQL database but I was following step-by-step instructions from Vbulletin, I guess this will be different compared to transferring a database backup.
MOVING from LIQUIDWEB to ... ?
I want to move from liquid web, but i don't know where to go.
the reason is, i need more bandwith (about 1000GB) and they said, the limit in a VPS is 700GB, to get more i should go to a dedicated.
my budget doesn't allow me to go to a dedicated.

2 Quad-core Xeon processors

Now, I would like to know, if I move to VPS, which VPS plan would be the best.
How much should my minimum VPS ram be?
Are there any speed tests you would like me to run on my present server?
I just had a thought. If I am moving from one host to the other, the old host would still have my files. Whats stopping them from just using the files to copy my site. Basically is there an easy way to delete my files from my old host?

only problem is that I'm on limited bandwidth internet, and i still have some really large files on the old server. can i transfer them to the new server without re-uploading them?
I'm moving away from Mosso after their service is kinda shaky and expensive. For now, my websites don't need scalability.
I looked at WiredTree but they seem to have problems (as posted here) but they do seem like the best of the bunch.

Current VPS and webhost nameservers
ns1.domain1.com
ns2.domain2.com
New VPS nameservers
ns1.domain2.com
ns2.domain2.com
Now how can I move all the accounts but dont change the nameservers? I mean is it possible to have two different domain name servers pointing to each other?
Not sure if it makes sense but hopefully some expert guy will get to the bottom of it
i have moved my site (pages and data) from my VPS to dedicated.
NOW I want to move the domain from VPS to Dedi.
Both are running on directadmin. I want to quickly move domain so that new user registrations are on the new domain only. Last time when I did this, at some locations domain still resolved at old and I lost some data on old server.
what should i do? I think i need to:
1. update NS at the domain registerar.
2. update the ip address in the DNS administration of old server directadmin so that the ip address is of new server there.
I'm just wondering. Say, you sign up with a host offering a huge discount (50%+ off for a year). And after that year is up, you move to a new host offering another huge discount. You keep doing this, every year.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people do this.
I guess from a webhosts persepctive, it will be quite annoying since they are banking on the fact that the person will stay with them after the initial year.
I've bought a VPS and have copied all of the clients data to the new server. I've setup my resolvers to point to the new nameserver IPs.
Now I need to edit the host.com host record IPs from my old ones to my new ones. (example domain) ns1.host.com and ns2.hosting.com
I've gone to fasthosts' control panel where I registered host.com and attempted to delete the old host records but this fails because other domains are pointing to the current records.
How can I update the host records for ns1 and ns2 with my new nameserver IPs?
I had some very minor concerns with moving from an oversold, over-advertised, and overcrowded shared server (I'll save them another negative review) to an unmanaged VPS.
I believe I am technically capable. I have installed and configured software over SSH for my friend on his dedicated, I've played quite a bit with the Ubuntu Hardy beta and familiarized myself with Linux, and well, I grew up using a command line. (MS-DOS!)
However, I certainly don't know everything there is and I'd be doing quite a bit of learning along the way, to say the least.
So I guess the first question is "Do I sound ready"? I'll have to admit that I'll be put *slightly* out of my comfort zone by this, but I really see no other choice. I'm not going to risk moving to another shared host. By out of my comfort zone, I mean things like I'll be constantly afraid that I'll mistype a remove command and delete my entire server. You know, the little things. =p
So my next question is "Is it remotely possible I'll have a worse experience on even the cheapest VPS than I have on shared hosting?" I'm talking about server loads, download speed, customer service. I know not to expect a ton moving from say a $9.99 shared plan to a $15-$30 unmanaged VPS plan, but I certainly don't want to go backwards.
Some info about my site: ULTRA small vBulletin forum, little over 10K posts, honestly only about 30 really active members, total of users + guests online is rarely over 30. I honestly feel there isn't a NEED for a VPS, even a small one, but I like doing things myself and I'd hardly be paying any more money per month.
However, (and this is a big however) there have been a few occasions where I've been linked to directly from the Windows Media mainpage and our stats have skyrocketed. Are there VPSes that are going to shut me down for this? Even on the days which we've been linked to from WM, the entire monthly bandwidth hasn't even approached 50GB. It wasn't even an issue with my awful shared hosting. It does involve streaming media though, so I'm surprised this wasn't a problem.
There's a good chance I'll be linked to again, as we have an ongoing deal with another website, so if I was okay on a shared server am I going to be OK with the VPS I choose? (I will provide what VPS I am considering as a front runner, if anybody asks, but I really don't want to turn this into a discussion about the host I'm leaving and the host I'm running to)
I will provide *one* thing about my current host, and that's my server load averages over the past few hours...
