I currently have a server sitting with Provider A and another server sitting on provider B. I only recently purchased the server with provider B and planned to phase out server A. My concern is, when I ping both servers from the same location, server B's times are nearly twice server B (90+ ms versus 48ms). How big of a difference will larger ping times like this make with respect to the end user (e.g., web page loading, etc?)

Which you think is still acceptable for a website?
I've been watching very closely the topics posted about hostchum, and I got to say im rather worried. I purchased a vps package about week and half ago.
Ealier this week I got an email saying about my vps would be moved from node2 to node1 and my login information would chnage to reflect this.
I have not uploaded any work to the vps yet because I feel it would be a waste of my time - wating for it to go down, and can you blame me?
I was in a shared hosting environment for 2 years. Due to performance problems with website I have moved to a windows VPS with plesk 8 control panel. All of a sudden I am very much worried about my site's security. How vulnarable and volatile is ones security in a windows vps environment. Is there anything I can do from plesk to tighten security of my vps so that my site cannot be hacked or can be safe from any damage.
Is there any guide or tutorial which guide me to do some settings in plesk to make my site secure.
Although i have admin access i rarely do anything but ftp and create or modify or read email and accounts.

What are some current prices I can expect for a 200-300Mb/s commitment delivered over a 1Gb/s connection in NYC ?
From some any provider besides Cogent and HE, companies like Verizon / Savvis / Level3 / Internap or any other top providers out there.
I was reviewing my colocation bill and noted that XO communications had increased my cabinet electrical fee by $80.
I have a contract that fixes the price for the term of the contract (2 years.)
I telephoned XO and was told *directly* that there are loopholes in every contract, and as far as they were concerned, they were using this one. The woman did not tapdance - she spit it right out like it was reheresed. She, and others at XO, further stated that they were raising the rates for electricity in order to remain competitive. I referred back to my contract; they referred to their Terms and Conditions.
Well, their Terms and Conditions state nothing about rate increases, and moreover, states unambiguously that when there is a conflict between their Terms and Conditions as posted on their web site, and a Service Order & Agreement (contract)(SOA) the SOA is the controlling document.
Knowing this has not helped. I even sent an email to the General Manager, Kevin Odden, who insisted that I fax a copy of my SOA because he simply could not trust that I typed the following to him accurately:
E. RATES AND CHARGES: Service rates and charges shall be set forth in the Terms and Conditions or in this SOA and shall remain in effect during the initial Term. In the event of a conflict between the rates and charges set forth in the Terms and Conditions and those established in this SOA, the rates and charges set forth in this SOA shall be controlling.
I know others here have XO. I am thinking Class Action.
Even though it is not mentioned anywhere on their web site, powweb billed me $8.77/mo instead of the advertised $7.77. I asked about this in their forum and that << removed >> Ian promptly deleted my post. Has anyone else heard about this?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a web site currently at ipower. Until a few months ago, the transfer rate was good at over 1.5 mega-bytes per seconds, but after a transition to new servers, it's now down to 350 kilo-bytes per second.
Ipower's advertising claims 15,000GB bandwith per month, but in order to get that, it would require a continuous transfer rate of 5.787 mega-bytes per second, 16 1/2 fold increase in transfer rate over the current 350 kilo-byte per second rate. Yet another example of false advertising.
Anyway, other than signing up with a service, testing download rates, canceling the seriver, signing up with another service, is there anyone here that can recommend a web hosting service with around 1 to 2 megabyte per second transfer rates, or a link to a review of web hosts that includes transfer rates?
I just got a notice from Leslie at Colo4Dallas that they are raising their rates by 20% effective June, 2007. Did anyone else get this notice yet today? And in order to get the lower price (20% increase), I will have to sign a 12 month contract. So for example, my 1/2 rack will go from $399 to $478, or if I choose to stay month to month, the new rate will be $600.

I just moved from PowerVPS to EuroVPS, being located in Europe myself, and was of course hoping for much better ping times. Also EuroVPS advertise themselves with a 30ms ping to most of Europe.
Anyway after my VPS was installed I compared the pings:EuroVPS (85.17.48.162) average ping: 335ms
PowerVPS (69.65.106.19) average ping: 129ms
335ms is of course ridiculously high, and after writing them a support ticket they told me it's probably a latency problem with my ISP
Can you please post the ping you get for 85.17.48.162 (preferably people located in Europe)?
I have configured Nagios on my network 10+ Servers (Linux+Windows) now when i check through http://localhost/nagios everything is ok but only ping command is giving following message :-
Unknown
bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 x.x.x.x
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command
and mail me "server down " message
So what is the issue ?
I am able to run this command through command line
./check_ping -H {server} -w 100.0,20% -c 500,50% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%
./check_ping -H x.x.x.x -w 300.0,80% -c 500.0,100% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%
I'm running my own OpenVZ server with a few VPS's running on it and have a small network issue.
I can't ping any VE from the HN. All the other networking is working ok (strangely I can ping the HN from the VE) apart from this. It's a simple setup with one network card connected to the internet.
OpenVZ the latest stable version running on CentOS 5.2
I'm pretty sure it's not a firewall problem but is something to do with arp or routing and one of the settings in sysctl.conf
Has anyone else seen this?
Does it matter?

My sites are up when I go to http and there is no slowdown but my monitors (panopta and pingdom) say that there is an outage in ping (only in ping, http is up). I tried pinging the server and there are packet loss up to 100% but the site is still up. I also used other online pinging tools (all-nettools.com, dnsstuff.com, etc.) and host unreachable.
I tried contacting the provider but they say there are no network problem at this time. So I found this other site that's also hosted on the same provider and I can access their site but fails on ping.
My server ping keeps disconnecting
However my ssh & website is smooth running!
When i type "service iptables stop", the ping runs just smoothly.
I have CSF installed in the server, like any other server using default configurations. I believe it has something to do with selinux? (or not?)
i think 216.245.208.x and 216.245.215.x DOWN, but limestonenetworks tell me :"problems well outside of our network, and I would highly suggest contacting your ISP for support on this matter" ....

I have a problem with my server, that i can't not ping

But i can log in the ssh. i just installed apf, i check conf.apf to made sure there are port 80, but it still can't ping.
So I'm wondering what if anything I can do to get a better ping from my 1and1 server.
It's located in Wayne, PA and my ping floats around 70ms and I'm in South Lake Tahoe, CA. I only ask because there are servers with Peer1 hosted in New York, NY that give me a ping around 20ms.
Thanks for any help or advice.

They say in order for ping and trace to work, you must chmod those executables on the server itself to 755. Is this safe or a security risk? The odd thing is, ping and trace works fine from dnsstuff.com or any other network tool site.
What is the location of those executables?
I have two servers both in a same vlan. Both may access Internet and be acceessed from Internet I setup db server and web server internal IP each as follows:
step 1: on web server:
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
add following:
DEVICE=eth0:0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
IPADDR=192.168.1.5
NETMASK=255.255.255.248

ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
save and /etc/init.d/network restart
step 2: on db server:
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
add following:
DEVICE=eth0:0

I used ifconfig to check both status, both of them are up. both of them may ping google, but when I try to ping their each other through internal IP, nothing returns.
I used command tracert to follow, found all packages were sent to Internet rather than an internal IP.
