Review: The New York NOC
Aug 7, 2008All i can say is A+++ etc.. Service!
Very happy with their server speed and reliability.
They have beyond excellent support, i got replies from the techs within 2-3 minutes average around! They have really professional techs and know what they are doing!
Kody R. from NY NOC provided excellent support and was really helpful.
If you want fast setups and great quality service, The NY NOC are the people you should really take into consideration!
The New York NOC No Server
Sep 9, 2008i am making this post for a friend that i know that lives in Brazil. I offered to help with with his server. So here is the issues.
My friend ordered a server on 09/05/2008
First ticket said Monday it would be setup then later on Monday they said there was a problem with there vendor and it would be setup tomorrow Tuesday but would upgrade my server free of change because of this. I thought cool. Now comes Tuesday and i get this reply.
Trying to get the CentOS 5 ISO to work for the install. ISO file seems to be corrupted.
So far i still have not got a new reply or a server. I hope that it can be resolved without a paypal dispute.
New York NOC - 2 Week Review
Nov 13, 2008I was recently forced to swap VPS providers out of now where and while bouncing around these forums I found a killer deal from a company called The New York NOC in the offers section. Of course webhostingtalk.com can be a great place to find any hosting solution but at the same time I think everyone gets that knot in their stomach these days not knowing who is on the other end of the wire. I decided to try these guys after reading a few bad reviews and to be honest I can't be happier I did.
Pro's:
Price point - With the special I received I truly came out like a villan.
Uptime - Unbelievable, I actually found a host that keeps the computers running 24/7. I am not trying to sound arrogant with that statement but for most of us who depend on a live connection to make our bank accounts a little more cushioned this is critical. Like I said.....very impressed.
Information - Amazing, this company will even alert you to downtime and planned maintenance days in advance unlike so many other hosting providers that had come before.
What impressed me even more was the fact the NY NOC's planned maintenance took place during extremely early AM hours when the server load was at it's lowest demand (Thank You). I can't tell you how many host I have been with where planned maintenance takes place during business hours.......I can't believe they are doing it right..Thanks!
Server Performance - While I have 2 VPS boxes with this provider I also have dedicated servers. The speed off the VPS box tells me it is not oversold (at this point) and the box is configured right. This is no lie when I say this is one of the fastest VPS accounts I have EVER had. Very impressive!
Support - I have my own standards for when I think support tickets should be replied to and a time-frame by which I think any fixes should be accomplished or looked into. The support I have received thus far is well above my expectations with extremely knowledgeable support staff along with a staff that can provide information.
=============================================================
Cons:
Trust me when I say I have tried to come up with one but.....I can't. I have reviewed other hosting providers and typically I am pretty harsh when it comes to reviews. Obviously this company is doing something right.
=============================================================
Other thoughts:
Keep up the good work guys, everyone knows that one hosting provider can not be cookie cut for everyone (hence some of the bad reviews) but hell.....at least your solution works great for me. My sites seemed to bog down my last VPS from time to time while the VPS I am on now just yawns from the week load.

I Need Peer1 Upstream In Vancouver And New York
Jun 6, 2007We need people with Peer1 as a backbone and where we can (with a planned schedule that we can arrange with you) go in frequently to do maintenance on the server.
We need this in both Vancouver and New York.
We'd just get collocation directly from Peer1 in those parts but it's too costly.
Anyone know of where to go?
If not, anyone know of any companies there that peer with Peer1 in that area whose colo is cheaper?

Jul 31, 2008As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice
DNS Setup And FTP Setup [LXAdmin/HyperVM]
Aug 1, 2008I have learnt it is harder to setup than I initially expected (since I have just moved from a shared hosting service). I am in need of some help setting up my DNS servers, as I am very confused. Here is most of the info I know:
1) I am running HyperVM
2) I've installed LXAdmin
3) I own the domain (purchased from xeodomains.com) runemart.com
4) My VPS hostname is: vps.runemart.com
5) I know my IP
6) My host has said:
'For VPS customers that have a HyperVM login you can now host forward DNS on the DNS servers rdns1.vaserv.com (US)rdns2.vaserv.com (UK'
And I am unsure what this means/how to do it.
I am not sure if I need some more information to set up my DNS, however I am sure that I can get it if I do.
Now, my questions begin. Firstly, I need to point my domain - runemart.com - somewhere. I believe I need to set up my DNS via HyperVM or LXAdmin so that they are something like: ns1.runemart.com and ns2.runemart.com. Though, is this correct? Am I able to set up my own actual domain name servers, or will my domain have to point at something like rdns2.vaserv.com?
If anyone can assist me in this I would be very greatful, as I am waiting to get my website running. This is all I will ask for now, I will take it one step at a time =).
NAS Setup
Jul 10, 2009I am currently researching and evaluating Network Attached Storage systems and was wondering whether anyone out there has had previous experiences (good or bad) with any particular setup?
I am particularly curious to know:
1- what kind of a performance hit I can expect when data is stored on a NAS and accessed via ethernet over iSCSI as opposed to regular SATA or SCSI.
2- what pre-built NAS system would you recommend for a system that requires about 8 TB of disk space for file data and needs to have 100% uptime? I've been looking at: [url]
However I don't know what sort of limitations this hardware offers as far as simultaneous disk reads/writes go.
VPN Setup
Apr 27, 2009I need to setup a vpn for a customer so they can access a development server. I'm running a Tomcat server and an Oracle database that they would need access to, both port 80(or 8080) and port 1521. This needs to be secured as there is customer data that needs to be protected.
This server will be part of our existing servers we rent from Pacificrack. I really would appreciate any suggestions as the best way to do this, short of buying my own cisco or checkpoint firewall with vpn.

I need a dedicated IP to make SSL possible.
Do I need an SSL certificate as well or it is only important to make the customers happy? Does SSL works without certificate?
I ask it because some company charge money for the SSL/month and pluss charge money for certificate/year.
What does it mean if the certificate is outdated? The SSL connection works fine, isn't it? I ask it strictly technicaly.

Apr 16, 2007We are currently setting up a VPS server, which will be used for a specific client portfolio that we are aquiring from another company. This is a Linux based server with WHM/Cpanel.
However, we wish to set up DNS in the best possible way, since we need to host DNS for some vital ISP services also. I gather this probably means using a combination of DNS on the VPS server itself, as well as one or more other DNS servers in other physical locations. The VPS server itself is located in Amsterdam, while most clients are here in Norway - thus ensuring reliability for local clients is the most important consideration.
Now some key questions:
- How important is the physical location of the DNS servers, and where should these ideally be located?
- Is a cluster solution the way to go - and is this supported by WHM/Cpanel?
- We have Linux and Windows based servers on our local network; could these be used for DNS also? If so, tips on software needed?
Setup Ns1 & Ns2

how to ?
I use WHM.
Ns1 Vs Ns2 Setup On Different DNS
May 24, 2008i am currently experimenting DNS with my 2 ips (each with separate servers spread over 2 geographic locations) and my zone file maps these IPs to ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com.
Both of my servers run DNS and with zone entry for my domain name. But when i stop the dns server on first IP (ns1) the second dns server (ip2) not working or resolving. Both are master servers.
My question is if first server DNS fails, the second DNS should resolve? why it is not working. i guess that is reason why domain registrars ask for 2 name servers. if one fails other works as backup??
how do i setup these? should i setup a slave or something?

DNS Setup
May 8, 2007All the domains on my server are using my own hosted nameservers, but now I have a new domain where I need to use a 3rd party DNS (gratisdns.dk).
The settings on gratisdns.dk wasn't a big deal, but what on my own server?
I created the domain through whm and it is set to use my own DNS just like the other domains. How do I change it to use the DNS from gratisdns.dk?
This is how my zonefile looks like:
Quote:
; Zone file for mynewdomain.dk
$TTL 14400
@ 86400 IN SOA ns1.myownns.com. email.mydomain.com. (
2007050801 ; serial, todays date+todays
86400 ; refresh, seconds
7200 ; retry, seconds
3600000 ; expire, seconds
86400 ) ; minimum, seconds
mynewdomain.dk. 86400 IN NS ns1.myownns.com.
mynewdomain.dk. 86400 IN NS ns2.myownns.com.
mynewdomain.dk. IN A 72.xxx.xxx.xxx
localhost.mynewdomain.dk. IN A 127.0.0.1
mynewdomain.dk. IN MX 0 mynewdomain.dk.
mail IN CNAME mynewdomain.dk.
www IN CNAME mynewdomain.dk.
ftp IN A 72.xxx.xx.xxx
I guess I don't need the A record and Cname here since I set that up at gratisdns.dk?
How should it look and are there anything else I need to change on my server?

Jul 22, 2007There are a lot of tense people here lately..and I'll withhold the name the guilty party in this until I see when my next billing date is..should be interesting indeed. It is clear some of you need a good laugh.
Silly me..I was always under the impression when a "VPS has been setup" message via email...it was actually setup. Nope.
Actually..the vps is *NOT* setup. I have to wait another 24-48 hours for it to actually work. Mind you..I'm not talking about DNS at all..the fact remains..I have a setup email..and it ain't setup at all. No placeholder page via http..no power panel..no remote desktop..all tried with a raw ip address. The DNS has been setup, though. I'm going to keep a close eye on these folks for further fun.
Sadly..my experience has been deplorable with people that play games like this on day one. In fact..I've never had day 30 with any of them.
SSL Setup
Jun 9, 2007I have a dedicated server, Windows Box using IIS and Plesk.
I purchased an SSL from comodo and have installed the cert without any problems.
I have read the many plesk tutorials without any success.
Problem:
[url]works as it should
[url] automatically re-directs the the browser and displays the index page found in the /httpdocs/ folder
[url] not found even though the file is there and in the /httpsdocs/ folder, however the SSL is working and is indeed my SSL that I purchased.
It would appear to me that for some reason the /httpsdocs/ folder is not accessible and if no specific file is requested it re directs to the /httpdocs/index.html file and thus breaking the SSL.

It should resolve to 208.110.80.90. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain. Some are all of these problems can be caused by /etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you believe everything else is correct. You may be able to automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager

New Setup
Feb 1, 2007I've been using reseller accounts for a while but a major customer has decided their needs have grown to the point they want the server to be local for faster access and other things. Since they have been quite happy with my services so far, they want to let me carry on for them even though I've admitted to them I've never done the things they want before.
So now I need to setup the Linux servers in a local datacenter and would appreciate some real ground advise on certain things.

So far my research indicates that this is known as a failover arrangement. It seems that the software to use are Heartbeat which monitors if the primary server's alive and DBRD which synchronizes changes to the drive data. Am I correct or missing something crucial in the middle somewhere?
2. Backup Website
If for some reason the server is totally inaccessible, such as network failure, is there a way for visitors to be redirected to a site hosted on my current reseller account informing them that the site is currently unavailable and giving some basic contact information?
3. Bandwidth control
The server is provided with a 5mbps connection. My client runs several web applications and would like to ensure speeds on certain applications for some customers.
I understand it's possible to set up domains like www-client_normal_customers-com, www-client_premium_customers-com, www-client_staff_updaters-com using 3 different IP pointing to the same server. (using dashes because wht won't let me post urls...)
Then is it possible to set things in such a way that premium IP and staff IP will always at least have 1mbps of bandwidth to use.
E.g. 20 normal customers banging away at the server using the full 5mbps.
2 premium customers connects, the rest are automatically cap to 4mbps, giving the premium customers 1mbps to share.
Then a staff logs in to update the database, normal customers get cap to 3mbps giving the staff 1 mbps to use and not affecting the premium customers.
DNS Setup With 2 Different IP Addresses
May 25, 2008i have two different ip addresses from two hosting providers free and bind in running both of them. will i be able to setup ns1 and ns2 with those IPs for my new domain.
will it work?
