My First Time With A Dedicated Server

Jul 20, 2008

After being with KnownHost for a while, I decided to make the jump to a real Dedicated Server. KnownHost does offer a Hybrid Server -- but it isn't a real Dedicated Server. So I gave up my Hybrid at KH to experience the real thing.

After much research, I selected ManageMyBox (MMB)-- their current special is awesome with a managed Dual Core AMD with lots of disk space and generous bandwidth. My only concern about MMB was some of the discussion threads about their support, but if you read long enough, you will find the same support issues at all hosting companies.

I just wanted to let you guys know that so far in day two with MMB, I'm ecstatic to report that my server was set up correctly from the very beginning in less than the 24-48 hours they advertise (mine was less than 24 , and I have alrerady opened a support ticket to get another software installed -- and within 30 minutes, the software was installed and the ticket closed. This all happened tonight -- a Saturday night.

I'm not getting paid to post this -- but I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. I will report followups if things do take a turn for the worse, but so far, its not just good -- it's GREAT!

Considering A Windows Dedicated Server For The First Time

Sep 30, 2009

We've always used open source linux servers up until now. For a variety of reasons we're contemplating adding one windows box.

Is there much practical difference for the average small business between 2003 and 2008?

What's the difference between "authenticated" and "unauthenticated" windows servers?

How is most administration and regular tasks done? I'm used to sshing into my linux servers-- I'm assuming for windows this is gui based? What's the standard software used for this?

Dedicated Server Setup Time

Jul 28, 2009

How long is a acceptable waiting time? just signed up to Dedishack - yesterday, Monday and been told I need to wait till Thursday.

Acceptable waiting time?

Not in a rush and I am not complaining just curious. First time I have had to wait for a dedicated server should be worth the wait though.

Time For A Dedicated? And Opinions On Future Hosting Dedicated Servers?

Mar 26, 2009

Some information about my forum:

I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.

The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.

Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?

The server I am looking at has these stats:

E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management

The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.

Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?

Squirrelmail: Email Arrives With Different Time Than Server Time

Nov 11, 2008

This is a rare issue i have on a RHEL 5.2 + cPanel server.

Server time is:

Tue Nov 11 17:02:51 CST 2008
Squirrelmail time show:
Code:
Last Refresh:
Tue, 5:02 pm

So, that is correct too..

But email arrives with -4 hours time, example:

I already rebooted httpd, exim, and imap server, and the server itself too.. and problem stills.

Server Response Time :: Network Time Out

Sep 25, 2008

I can't get access to a certain site. I always get the page with:

network time out - server at *** takes to long to respons. More people have noticed this and apparently it only happens to people with certain specific providers. And not all the time. Some times they DO get access eventy to they belong to the same ISP. So I guess an ISP isn't blocking access to it otherwise it would be permenantly/The site administrator insists that certain ISP's are blocking his site. He's hosting it on his own server. The domain belongs is registered at namecheap.com.

If an ISP is blocking this site (if that's possible?), that would lead to that 'network timeout' page wouldn't it?

What is the most likely reason for getting a timeout page anyway?

Dedicated IP Resopnse Time

Oct 17, 2009

I requested to my hosting company to implement a dedicated IP for my shared hosting, because my domaing had the same IP with other 400 domains. Before that, the site had a good response time and everything was OK. After they implemented a unique IP for my domain, I observed that in Google Webmaster Tools, Crawl Stats, Time spent for downloading a page had reached from aprox. 1 second to 23 seconds and now it is stable to aprox. 23 seconds. Besides this, every online tool that checks the site, response time, keywords etc., is getting timeout errors or it's loading the page in 40-120 seconds. Before that implementation of dedicated IP all these tools worked fine.
Did you have a similar problem after changing from shared IP to dedicated IP hosting?

Apache :: Server Going Down From Time To Time

Feb 6, 2013

The server is going down from time to time, every 12 days or so the site hosted there is no longer accesible, everything starts with the site slowing don and down and then is not longer reachable, what we do is to request a power cycle, and with this we start all over again till next power cycle, so on so on, of course, here are my server details and more info on this:

- MySQL - 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10
- Apache - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4
- PHP - 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9
- operating system: Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS

After some time emailing the support guys to barely check about what's going on, we received an email with a few things:

1.- found a few errors that likely would cause issues with Apache. The first error is:
[Mon Feb 04 05:03:10 2013] [error] mod_fcgid: fcgid process manager died, restarting the server and the next error is:
[Mon Feb 04 14:32:34 2013] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting ...

Both these errors seem to indicate that you have a process that is running out of control on your server. We were unable to determine what script on your site is running caused your connections to be maxed out however it does appear that before these errors were generated there was a WordPress plugin referenced in your access logs...

2.- Additionally during our review we did find that your error log for mercadodedinerousa.com is 45 GB's which is excessively large and can cause problems when Apache is trying to write a such a large file.

3.- The majority of the errors being logged are:
[Wed Feb 06 12:12:31 2013] [error] [client 200.76.90.5] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/vhosts/mercadodedinerousa.com/httpdocs/index.pl, referer: [URL]

Have A Hard Time With New Server

Jul 30, 2008

Week ago I decided to rent another dedicated box , install CentOS 5 64Bit and use LiteSpeed as a web server. What seemed to be trivial at start became nightmare later.

I was unable to compile PHP 5 with --with-litespeed and --with-curl directives. If I removed one of them it was ok but together it didn't work.

Tried to search forums but nothing helped, so I decided to go back to Centos 5 32bit and try there. It compiled OK.
So I'm in trouble now. I wanted to have server with 64bit OS + LiteSpeed because of its speed, system resources consumption and good DOS protection.
I asked several questions about advantages of 64bit over 32bit OS and the most important thing was how much issues can I expect on 64bit OS (libraries availability). Almost every reply said that it's without issues to go with 64bit OS. My experiences say it's not as easy as I expected.

I didn't find any good protection against DOS for Apache so far, mod_evasive doesn't work as I expected. What do you recommend ? Should I stay with apache on Centos 64bit + apache with everything installed via yum (should work OK) or go with CentOS 5 32bit + LiteSpeed there ? LiteSpeed I'm talking about is Enterprise edition.

Server Crashes Around Same Time Each Day

Nov 26, 2007

I have to reboot this server each day. It seems to crash (or freeze if you call it) around 11:55 pm server time (central US). How do I trace the cause of this? I installed CSF / LFD in replacement of APF/BFD.

This is a centos 3.9 / cpanel 11 box.

crontab -e shows nothing out of the default ordinary

How To Know Server Response Time

Apr 14, 2007

How can we know that how long it takes our server to respond, in terms of Microseconds. Is it take long time while processing an Ms Access database or SQL Server, Sending flash movies to client.

For example, I can accomplish a task while reading data from server database , also I can accomplish it using an image or flash movie.

Which way should be efficient for my visitors, I am using a paid hosting plan.

Also I have another question.

How could I know that a web hosting provider company's server is a fast machine than other company. I have options like "WebHost Company1" & "WebHost Company2"

I host the same website on both servers, while I request some page in a client machine, How could I measure the efficency & speed of the server, I am sure both servers will not send content to client with same speed.

due to any reasons, may be 1 server has more traffic, has slow hardware, has longer route.

Also which technology is faster, ASP, ASP.Net, PHP, coldfusion. Is there some way to measure these facts about a webserver.

In these cases, how could I choose best server. How to made decession about that.

Daily, Time To Time Cpu Load

Aug 9, 2007

I have a dedicated server specs: AMD 3500+ 64 Bit CPU, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Sata Drive. For 1 month, CPU load average reaches 40-50 value. This happens about 5-6 times in a day. When I stop httpd service for 30 seconds everything goes normal. I think this is not a DoS attack because it comes systematic, I dont believe no one makes this regularly except bots.

Maybe its a system service or a cronjob but it stops when I turn off httpd service?
How can I be sure about what's making this regularly load?

I also did set up a script which mail me when load average of system goes crazy and restart httpd service. But instant restart is not working to stop load increase.

Mismatch In Time Between The Server And Apps

Jun 16, 2009

Thought of sharing this with all.

Issue:

Php function was returning wrong time. There was a difference of 1 hour between the server time and the php time. Due to this ,most of the functions on the site were not working properly.

Fix :

For checking the php time, put the following code in a file, say time.php

Code:
<?php
$time = time();
$result = date(”Y-m-d (D) H:i:s”,$time);
echo “Current date and local time on server = $result “;
?>
Execute the php script.

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# php -a time.php
Interactive mode enabled
Current date and local time on server = 2017-01-30 (Mon) 18:04:25
To get the server time , issue the following command :

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# date
Mon Jan 30 17:04:25 IST 2017
You can see the difference of one hour between the server time and the php time.
For fixing this, you need to install the PECL timezonedb module.

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# pecl install timezonedb

At the end , you might see the following message :

==========================

Build process completed successfully
Installing ‘/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/timezonedb.s o’
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/timezonedb-2009.6
configuration option “php_ini” is not set to php.ini location
You should add “extension=timezonedb.so” to php.ini
==========================

So , add the line ” extension=timezonedb.so” to the php.ini file and restart apache.

There shouldn’t be any mismatch in time now.

Slow Response Time From Server ...

Jun 9, 2009

I have a dedicated server that I am renting that appears to randomly respond very slowly for some reason (pings are between 90-4000ms with about 75% packet loss).

This has been happening lately (about once a week for the past 4 weeks) and I thought I had originally found the cause of the problem but it appears I haven't.

Originally, when this problem was happening we were getting an abnormally high about of traffic but a reboot always fixed the issue. I've checked every where I can think of but I cannot find anything out of the ordinary.

ight now we're averaging less than 2Mbps in traffic, the CPU load is less than 0.75, the memory usage is at 55% with no swap being used, Apache connections are normal, no active SSH, FTP, or mail connections, I've restarted all services which had no impact, I've checked the access and error logs but can't see anything out of the ordinary.

I have a ticket open with the data center but I'm trying to figure this out on my own to fix whatever is causing this so I can move my data over to a new server we just got setup over the weekend in a local data center.

Server Issues / Execution Time

Feb 21, 2008

During the last couple of weeks my main server has started acting weird.

Sometimes(often) when accessing my site, I get a page saying that server or location could not be found. Reload and "bam" page loads again. Average load on the server is 0.50

When executing scripts (I.E uploading files using web2ftp or cp file manager) server shuts the connection after a few seconds and say page cannot be found.

I set the execution time in php to 60sec, so this is not the issue.

When I ping the server, I do not get any packet losses.

Time For A New Shared Server Host

May 21, 2008

I have been with Page-Zone for a couple years now. Just the past year I have had little problems with them.

-For instance once I was trying to update my website and their server went down. I thought it was something on my end so I started trouble shooting it for an hour and then it came back up.

-Another time the users on my website were without e-mail for a week, because they changed IP address.

-And finally the e-mail accounts couldn't receive any e-mails from Comcast, MSN, or Hotmail accounts. So I ended up setting up a Google Aps account for us to use for e-mail.

Granted they are very cheap but I have been having many problems with little support. Also today I just noticed that in the whois it lists Network Solutions as the technical contact. Are these things that I should be looking for a new host for?

Server Breach - One Time Admin

Mar 4, 2008

we have a server that was breeched and is being used to send ddos attacks to another website and we need to stop it permanently and secure our server to avoid it from happening again.

My tech has already been able to track down the bot/script that was sending it and seemed to stop it for about a week, but they have gained access to the server again.

He is not an expert at security issues so I'm looking to hire someone for a one time job to correct this issue.

Can someone offer me some referrals of someone to take care of this. Please do not recommend Rack911 as I waited nearly a week for their assistance and had no luck.

Slow Server Response Time ....

Oct 6, 2008

I recently made a shift to FDC for one of my servers that I use for downloadable content.

I went for a $199 server with a 100mbps shared bandwidth port. Now, the only problem I seem to be having with it is that downloads appear to be, I would say recognized, very slowly by the server before they start, however, once the download starts I get a full speed. This usually happens during peak times.

I'm using about 10/15mbps on the server according to my cPanel statistics. I just wanted to ask here prior to contacting FDC on this, whether this slow server response time has something to do with the bandwidth port, or perhaps the server's RAM, CPU, etc? Given I'm using quite minimal bandwidth on the port, should I consider having them fix this or upgrade the server instead?

And if I had to upgrade, would I need to upgrade the port or the RAM, or both for this?
