Primaryvps Updates
Aug 17, 2007
I have been with primaryvps since May and in last two months I was very busy... and then came back from vacation, it was working fine for a few days... indeed, I could access my server as late as last night. But then my server is down today, with empty page at primaryvps.com and there's nothing else.
So I got nervous and came here to check... and I realized that a lot of people had troubles with them, perhaps more than I did, but then are they really going out of business? As a customer I received no warning of any kind, though.
Any certain info on their current status would be appreciated. I wrote them (support and victor's email) but didn't get responses... In the past they replied very fast, so there's something strange going on for sure...

All my 7 websites have been down for about 4 days!
No any email to me and no answers to my tickets!
I feel that it is important to share this information here!
I bought the VPS about 10 days ago!And everything go wells until 3 days ago!
I can not login to my control panel.So I submited a ticket for help!
all together I submited 5 tickets!
But no answer to me until now.And now I see all the tickets I have submit are just disappear!

I signed up with PrimaryVPS about a week back. The price was good, the setup took only an hour or so, and the support was great - helpful and prompt! Since then, there's been 53 minutes of downtime (reported by host-tracker) which the support guys blamed on a kernel problem, and now their support app is down with the message: "License Error: Key file has expired"
Are these just some temporary hickups or signs of time to come?
I hope their growing popularity hasn't made them oversell nodes on their VPS's.

I inquired about this sales. New company good price Good service. WRONG.
So I get on live chat and talk to Mike and tell him all the requirements I ahve He says no problem pay for managed hosting at $25 a month and we will install all of that for you. So i go to check out enter in there coupon code for 20% off for lifetime and when i get to the paypal page to pay whole different story. Says 20% first month then regular price the rest. So I cancel out of that go back to live chat and get Mike I tell him what happened he says no it is 20% for life. So i take his word for it and head back over to checkout. This time it wont let me there site has a problem and wont complet checkout. So back to live chat I go. this time they transfer me to victor. Who informs me they will only install my stuff if I pay $25 a month and pay them $50 and hour. I tell him I have a guy to install it all for one-time fee of $35 can you do it for that no our fee is $50. Plus they want to charge me $25 a month for fully managed. When i can forget the fully managed and only pay one-time $35. Victor found he would rather argue with me and then try and insult me about a typo error.
Stay away they will not be in business for long. See bottom of chat below. ....

Almost been a month with PrimaryVPS, VPS is fast with excellent support from them.
Helped with every single issue. They solved my problem in midnight via YIM, support tickets, and chats. They were able to help me at all hours also.
With me, PrimaryVPS is great. And I am going to buy more VPS from them.
One of my websites on my VPS is www[dot]vfruit[dot]com

I was surprised to see that they had 100% uptime in May according to their logs. I am used to see 99.98%, 98.97% etc. etc. with other hosts. But even 100% is quite possible.
On June 7th the uptime suddenly dropped below 96% with avg. 7 outages. I was really disappoined as I was planning to signup. But after a day or so it again rose to 100% with 0 outages on all of their servers which clearly explained the 100% uptime of May.
According to them they had a attack because of which IPs of nodes had to be changed and subsequently they also changed it on hyperspin.com (their server monitoring service). I immediately signed up on hyperspin to verify this claim. Changing the IP or hostname of a monitored service on hyperspin doesn't reset its log is what i clearly observed. Its quite visible that the logs were reset intensionally to hide the actual server uptime and make it always show 100% percent. When i reverted back to them on this issue, they prefered to close the ticket. I just want to know from other hosts, it this practice common or primaryvps.com is an exception? Well as mentioned on their site, the uptime log is located at:
hyperspin.com/publicreport/30037/20077
But don't expect too much. It has only two figures 0 for outages and 100% for uptime.

has anyone successfully updated from bind9.2.x to BIND 9.5.0-P1? Were there any problems regarding settings, zone files, etc etc? Can you explain the process in detail for the update? One of my customers wishing to have this done, is running CentOS, I assume yum would be the best course of actions?

When you are hosting websites/game servers and then updates on your server pops up. What do you do? Restart the server and kick everyone off the server for 10min? Or leave it?
Whats the best course of action?

Lately we have been receiving a lot of complaints from our users who do not wish to update their scripts. I have been telling those users that they have to keep their scripts up to date if they want to avoid having that script exploited or used to send spam or other malicious intentions. The ramifications of a single user on a server not keeping their script up to date affects all of the users on the server.
I am just wondering how other hosting providers handle this. When a client threatens to leave because you don't allow them to run an outdated script, what actions do you take to try and keep the client?

I have a Windows VPS account with a well-known hosting company. According to their knowledgebase, they "apply Microsoft security updates directly from the hardware node. For this reason, they are not able to be applied from within your VPS."
I discovered this after attempting to apply a Service Pack on my VPS, which messed up my VPS. Now that I've learned this the hard way, here's my question: Is this true with other Windows VPS hosting companies too?
While I understand that I'm responsible for what I update on my VPS, I'm frustrated that the hosting company doesn't take more steps to prevent this from happening...

cPanel has released a very important update a short while ago. I don't normally post when updates are released, but this is one that should not be missed. More information can be found here:
[url]
and here:
[url](not sure when this will be updated).
Stay safe.
edit: the *second* I posted this, I found out there will be another tomorrow. Keep your eyes on layer1.cpanel.net.

I've been trying to get any reviews on ahosting.biz services here on the forum, but the last thread where the poster was complaining about the limits of emails sent from their reseller accounts failed to find anything. Any updates?

I'm running Plesk 9.2.2 & using the supplied AWStats install. Where will I find the configuration that dictates when AWStats will be updated? It's currently updating at 3.36am daily, & I'd like to set it to hourly. Can't find anything in the root or psaadm crontabs & not sure where else to look.

to install secuity patches for each VPS hosted on single host or appling it to host running multiple VPS is enough.
Does same applies to firewall related software..Use it for individual VPS on single host?

this only shows up in Centos 5, it seems.
You do the good ole "yum update"
and...something very bad happens:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
>> Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
>>
>>
>> Could not find any working storages.
Ok..this is one of the times google fails me..I guess because this is a fairly new problem.
If you are lucky:
Visit the rpm repo of your choice..manually download:
python-sqlite*
and
sqlite*
and force a re-install:
rpm -ivh python-sqlite* --force
rpm -ivh sqlite* --force
Sadly..I did find that..and it was tried..and did not work for me.
The fix? Ohhh...you gonna love this:
I completely removed python and everything that depends on it.
Drastic? Oh yeah. But after wasting two days with fixes that did not help...I figured this was the only way. Drastic measures were called for.
It was. It worked. You put everything back..and it is fine.
Oh..I noticed yum.3.2.1is available..and decided to give that a shot as well. It is fine.
Certainly not as much fun as the time I decided to attempt a upgrade of glib2 on a vps..but close.

Basically I do all my updating now. I have a VPS with...*GASP*...godaddy and their policy is you do all the updating to your server yourself. They will not help you in any way unless you pay their "extra special services team" 80 bucks an hour.
Now, I'm not that much of a server genius, I can find my way around and do certain updates. I'm just tired of doing it and also have a huge fear that I'll screw something up.
Is there a company that will do a full switchover from godaddy to their service, does all the updates and installs programs for a small fee for you? I also need one that is comparable in price. I'm paying 52 bucks a month now.

After obtaining a new allocation from ARIN, how long do you typically wait before your upstreams update their filters to allow the new announcement? Which providers are most proactive? Least?

I was updating apache through easyapache and my server froze. I had to have my server rebooted.
Now I can't load apache. But the lucky thing is, I have litespeedtech and my websites load fine. But apache has definately failed.
I can't switch to apache from litespeed. I use WHM. I was wondering, can I udpate apache through whm with litespeed? Does anyone have experience with this?

I believe there is a gap in my understanding of VPS with regards to just how much control you really have over the system. VPS gives you "root access" which typically means top-level access... but in reality, the true super user is a boot-up console user. Few VPS providers that I've investigated offer console access to your VPS while booting.
What, than, can be done about system upgrades or using advanced features like root filesystem encryption? Say, for instance, that my provider offers openSUSE 10.1 and I want 10.2. I would be loath to do such a thing if I can't reboot and watch things as it goes. What if the upgrade failed and you need to drop to a single-user mode to fix it?
Or maybe my real misunderstanding here is that you can't upgrade a system in a VPS if the provider doesn't offer the upgrade?
And what if I want my entire system (other than a boot partition) to be encrypted. This would include an encrypted root and swap. This also requires a password at bootup well before any services (like sshd) start.
Again, maybe the real answer is that I can't do that at all anyway and so it doesn't matter.

My Plesk Panel fails to find updates for some reason. It keeps thinking that 11.5.30 Update #31 is the latest version, although the changelog (URL..) clearly shows 11.5.30 Update #40 is available.I tried to manually run the updater from command line:
Code:
C:ParallelsPleskadminin>ai.exe --select-product-id panel --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base
No success.
I tried to switch to the Early adopter releases No success. How can if fix Plesk Panel to update to the latest versions again?
My setup:
OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Panel version: 11.5.30 Update #31 , last updated at April 10, 2014 02:32 AM

How are the records on slave DNS servers updated ? Does it use the settings in the SOA section of the zone files to determine how often slaves are updated ?
Code:
18 ; serial
14400 ; refresh (4 hours)
7200 ; retry (2 hours)
2419200 ; expire (4 weeks)
3600 ; minimum (1 hour)
Is there any way for master to push out notifications to slaves OR get slaves to update their DNS sooner.
The main reason for this is it seems adding an entry on the master (via the GUI) is taking ages to appear on the slave.

So. Plesk has a button to enable or not enable automatic updates of WordPress installations it knows about. I toggled it and it didn't seem to effect the setting in my wp-config.php file:
//--- disable auto upgrade
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
which remained like that whatever I did to the Plesk button.
Nor does it seem to set this setting either way:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
So. Is it something independent of WordPress? I.e. Plesk goes and gets the updates and applies them? If so - what updates is it getting - major changes or just minor ones?
