I am planning to build my own site, but the problem is that I still don't have a domain and a hosting site..
I wanted to buy one but they all requested for a credit card number.. I'm still a student now and unfortunately I have no credit card..
Does anyone know any other way of paying those hosting sites and registering a domain w/o using credit card or something..
Or maybe since i'm still new, should I go for free hosting then? but my site uses MySql for database, is there a free hosting site that lets you use a database?
if I buy a reseller account off xyz.com, how does that work? I understand I have to buy a vps or dedicated, but how do I collect payment?
and is it possible to open a reseller account without having your own "front", I.E. when customers sign up they would be doing it through xyz.com (and not my own hosting company/template) but the payment would still go to me.
I am on a server with ssh disabled and automated cpanel backups disabled. I would like to back up all of my client accounts to my laptop in one go. So far, I think I've come across two options:
Option 1: rsync w/o SSH
I am not sure how to do this. Most tutorials I've found use ssh, and I can't figure out what other options there are.
Option 2: write a script that backs up all accounts and places them into a file on the server which I can then download.
Which option is better? Is there anything else I can do? I've been at this all day and haven't found a good solution.

So is there any good tools for that? I'm interest how many http queries my server could handle etc.
With my sshd installation, I have password authentication disabled, and only accept key-based auth. What I want to do is, make sshd lie about it's accepted authentication methods, or even make up a few to confuse anyone who's trying to connect. For example,
[root@vps2 ~]# ssh hah.cx
Permission denied (publickey).
I'd like to make it show something like,
[root@vps2 ~]# ssh hah.cx
Permission denied

What are new methods to High secure a linux server ? (For webhosting company)
Please write something you know for Linux Security Methods (New version of OS).
from about 3-4 days, the cpu of my server, from an average of 0-15% load, grew up to a constant 80-90-100% cpu load.
There were two processes called php-cgi.exe IWAM_PLESK(default) that, each one, constantly burned 30-40% of cpu load.
So, stopping websites one by one, I found the website that was the cause of the cpu overload.
On my "old" windows vps, there were processes called with the name of the website hosted (for example websitename_web.exe), so it was easy to immediately find exactly what website was involved in the hypotetical cpu or ram overload issue.
i can write a long story about this guys that i actually don't know how they can start selling webhosting ,i think there should be a requirement of brain.
i m not telling much but its about 6 days our server is turned off and our website is down ,still no answer from them
[url]
its better for them to sell watermelon rather than webhosting and dedicated servers (IMO)
because they don't know how its heavy for a big website to be down
our site want use Payment Portal for pay reasons.
can anyone list the most used Payment Portal?

Somebody know a good hoster with server dedicaced accept paymane via paypal ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI signed up with them for the 10mbps offer a 199 dollar server. The invoice was due on 30 and I thought they charged thru paypal subscription service.
On 2nd, after three days, they suspended the server.
Now my problem is taht they neversent a single email that an invoiceis due. I always get invoice email and I pay. Can't remember everything ... So Limestone guy here's how how this thing works
1. You send an invoice due email.
2. Then you send a warning that the server will be discontinued in 24 hours.
3. Then you suspend the server.
This is how planet does, this how softlayer does it and this is everyone does, nothing special in this.

RAM: 1- 2 GB
Speed:10 Mbit or more
OS:Linux (Centos/Debian/etc. or Windows )
Control Panel : Plesk/Cpanel
Budget Range:$90-$130
Payment method: Paypal
1 &1 suits my needs but there are many bad reviews about it
what's your take on that?
I need a good dedicated server provider like Softlayer (in terms of everything) who is in this price range..
We work with a hosting provider in Sweden. We rent a dedicated server there. The traffic was uneven, from time to time. Sometimes there was no traffic, and sometimes it reached 90Mbit. We bought a configuration with 10,000Gb. Now they sent us the traffic invoice. That has 18Tb if to count according to the 95% system. And in total we used about 12Tb. We didn’t know they counted according to 95%, that wasn’t mentioned in the agreement, it said only about 400sek per TB excluding VAT***. That’s why we thought that we had to pay exactly for the used traffic because if to count according to the 95% system, which means it’s counted per a channel, and the agreement informed only about the Tbs.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI had two servers with wiresix, for the most part support was OK (not the best, but not really bad) and Ryan was responsive to AIM and emails. At one point I no longer needed my dedicated server with them as I had moved everything over to my Colo server. I submitted a ticket to cancel the server (i gave 45 days) and request confirmation from them which I never got. AS the time got closer for that server to go away I started getting longer and longer response times to IM and support. Because of this I felt the need to cancel my colo box and get it shipped to a DC by me as not to be left stranded by a host that didnt care.
I submitted another cancellation request (about 6 weeks in advanced) and again got no response. About this time the dedicated server was supposed to go offline. I got invoiced and charged for it so I opened another ticket asking for a refund for a server that had been canceled. No responses, on anything. Now it comes time for the colo box to be taken offline...
I requested it be taken offline and shipped out a little bit earlier then the actual date. I provided shipping information. I also noted they can use the payment that should have been refunded to cover the shipping costs. This was the first of April. I am borrowing a server from a coworker for my customer who is supposed to be on the colo server. No big deal right, borrow a server for a few days and then move the customer back to the new server...Right?
Wrong. As of this date Ryan still has all my servers online, in the rack and will not even respond to my tickets or AIM. I cant even get in touch with him (or the rest of wiresix) to allow a friend of mine to goto the datacenter and pick up the server. The refund? Who knows... At this point I am convinced Ryan is angered that I am leaving and is hold my colocated server and my payment hostage. I have no other explanation.
I have attached an image file (with some information whited out) with the tickets and the last response times intact. Please I urge everyone DO NOT USE WIRESIX. If you do, do not ever cancel or you will never see your hardware.
At this point, I do not think I have any other choice but to contact my lawyer or the Atlanta Police department for the theft of my hardware.
I signed up for 3rd Rock Hosting's smallest plan and pre-paid a year because it was inexpensive and after EpicVPS's server magically deleted everything I had no reason to use a bigger host as my data was gone and my most recent backup was too old to do me much good.
The account got set up immediately, however there were problems such as my bandwidth allocation and number of email accounts and such were half of what they were quoted to be on the webpage. Ok, got a ticket in and got that sorted out no problem.
Then, something happened to 3rd Rocks upstream host and the site was down for two days about two weeks into hosting. They've had this problem before and I knew about it and decided to chance it. Bad decision I guess.
A week ago or so I got an email telling me to change my DNS as they moved to a new server. What? New name servers? Ok. I use my own DNS but updated the A records to the new IP's. This is where the trouble began, once everything resolved I could access my panel but none of my pages load! It just loads a blank screen and even view source doesn't show any of my php pages. I logged into the account via FTP and sure enough my files/data are there.. just nothing loads.
Not having to want to deal with this headache I politely asked my account be canceled and the 30 day refund honored. I was greeted by Mark asking if I changed my nameservers and when I told him I had modified my nameservers to reflect the new IP's he offered me two free months.
I stated that with the trouble I've had in the last 30 days; going past the 30 day trial would give me no 'out' if more trouble occurred. Mark stated he'd give me a refund 'ASAP'. This was Sept 1st. There's been no refund and I've shot off two more questions in the support ticket without answers. My 30 day 'guarantee' ends in just a few more days so I'm trying to get this done before hand of course.
I'm -> <- this close to filing a paypal complaint and escalating it. Being incommunicado with me for 2 days while you scrounge up $20 bucks is baffling.

I have no plans to move, so figured I'd look if I have that option to save money.

Has anyone of you problems updating your payment infos in Orbit? Further, I think it's strange they dont accept any other payment method. Have any of you been able to wire or somthing?
I paid for a server with GeekRack.net 8 days ago, and have seen no sign of the server being setup.
Now I know they are just a Burst.net reseller, they don't own or order the hardware or even have physical access to the servers, they simply get 25% off Burst.net and just resell their servers. That said you'd expect at least some sort of notification on when the server would be ready by, especially by now, right?
I'm trying to find at least three web hosting companies to choose from to host a Joomla websites on a shared server. Would consider dedicated if the deal was right. I have a friend of mine who wants to create a church website, and is looking for the best deal. I use Netfirms which I have never had an issue with, but I didn't want to be bias, and would like give him other options to choose from.
Is there a good WebHosting Review site, I could check out, or maybe someone could recommend their top three. I reading threw the forums here and I noticed there are not that many complaints with Hostgator. Again, I just want to see if there was anything out there better.
