I want to offer Resellers with their own Private Name Servers however don’t want to / can’t give every reseller 2 IP address for the name servers (costs etc...) I have read that I can use the same IP's as my Main Name servers for my clients private name servers. I have been in to WHM and ticked the 'Share Name Server IP's' box, then added name servers for a reseller e.g. ns1.reseller.com and ns2.reseller.com
I have then updated the name servers on a domain I only use for testing, 123-reg says everything is fine etc... and it looks like I’m sorted.
Anyway I waited a few days to make sure the name servers had propagated then tried to access the domain. Well I can't ....
I've been back to WHM and checked everything, it looks fine. There are A Records within my DNS for the name servers and they seem to be the same as the main name servers that do work.
Dedicated Server Resellers - Do you prefer to apply private labeling when marketing your services or do you let your customers know you are a reseller of "xyz" products and services?
I recently acquired a private rack with my hosting company and I wanted to place few servers in there. The server purchased at different intervals had different specification.
While it was okay with the sales engineer as I asked them before placing the order. The support has come up now saying that that cannot put my machines there because of their different specifications.
I think about buying good quad core dedicated server with 4gb ramm, and want to start making VPS's on centos. I am totally new to this and would like to give it a shoot
So what software do I need? Which control panel is best for vps's virtuozoo, plesk ... ?
is it possible to buy a vps and make it into more smaller vps's like if i brought one with 500mb ram 5gb diskspace could i split it into 5 smaller vps's with 100mb ram and 1gb diskspace?
i looking for the servers (powerfull and cheap) i take this post in vps forum 2 day's ago but i understand that it is better for me to take the post in dedicated forum my friend's : 1-vpn server(with many ip)-->with high transfer + good performance(for start)
2-server for starting image hosting (with high or unlimited transfer + 100mbps )+atleast 50_60gb h.d.d
I am currently with the planet and am happy with them, however as part of a new venture I need to gather a list of hosts as well as the planet that will be able to cater to the ventures needs and go to tender with the requirements.
ThePlanet offer something called a virtual rack. This is cheaper than renting a dedicated rack, allows for Gb networking but doesnt not allow for a SAN. Do other providers offer something similar? The cost of putting a machine on the virtual rack is not that much more expensive than just renting the machine. I guess there isn't too much to these set-ups to be fair.
If not, then we are looking for dedicated racks, with the ability to host a SAN at some point, but starting off with say 3 servers (2 web servers, 1 storage server with raid5 6Tb of hdd). These servers will be dealing with network cameras although I don't think that many will be streaming at once but the network capacity does need to be there.
Who's door should I be knocking on to find out some prices?
One final thing, should I bother looking for co-lo providers as well? We are in the Uk but not precious about our host being in the same country at all (it would be nice but uk prices are ££). Really, all we would be able to do with co-lo is buy the hardware outright to save price as we are not interested in looking after the hardware.
When a dedicated server reseller is looking for a new partner, what exactly are they looking for? Is price far and away the primary factor? Are there other features/offerings that a reseller is looking for? Are there things that would prevent you from reselling for someone if they didn't offer them?
Who are currently the best server providers to resell for and why?
Can anybody name some bandwidth/port resellers such as XtremeBandwidth was back in the day? I'm looking for someone who can get me multiple price quotes from various providers at an odd location.
Can anyone recommend a good reputation company that resells The Planet's servers?
For some reason I can't purchase from them directly, they do not accept PayPal nor accepting my credit card payments. Tried contacting them but it still doesn't work. I hope to find a reseller out there.
any VPS resellers that are using VMWare ESXi as their platform for their hosting plans?
Also, if anyone is familiar with VMWare, I am curious as to what you think of these hardware specifications and how many Linux based CentOS VMs I can comfortably run on this hardware:
Processor:AMD Opteron Quad-Core 1352 Barcelona 2.1GHz Motherboard:Tyan S2925G2NR AM2 nVidia nForce 3400 ATX n3400B Memory/RAM:Kingston 1GB 240Pin DDR2800 ECC Unbuffered RAID Card:Adaptec AAR-2610SA 6Port SATA 64MB RAM Hard Drive 1:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive 2:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive 3:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive 4:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
There would be two RAID1's in a RAID10 configuration for the storage.
I have a dedicated business III linux root server (CentOS + Plesk) with 1and1.co.uk and have two domains purchased through them. What I want to do is set up resellers and then the resellers can point their own external domains to their reseller packages. To test the process, this is what I have done...
In the 123-reg.co.uk control panel (where I have my own list of domains), I change the nameservers from ns/ns2.123-reg.co.uk of example.com to ns59/ns60.1and1.co.uk and then proceed to set up web forwarding to my servers IP. Now, after setting up a reseller account through Plesk, I log in and click add the domain example.com. After waiting 24+ hours, when I type in example.com, I get the 'address not found' message through my browser. Clearly something is not set up right.
The only way I can host external domains is to use the domain control panel in the 1and1 screens to transfer an external domain to my root package - not an efficient way of setting up a reseller account.
Does anybody have any guideance on where I am going wrong? Do I need to set up my own nameserver for reseller clients to point their domains to?
just restored a server from an rsync backup. problem now is that i have a couple of hundred accounts all under root, when they're supposed to be resellers and sub accounts of resellers.
any idea if its just some file which contains all the mappings or do i need to go through all these hundreds of accounts and reassign them?
what changes we are supposed to do the server to provide our reseller their own custom nameservers? we do have management companies hired for issues but i really feel i should know this too.
with most dns being able to be handled by the domain owner through register/godaddy, etc. are resellers/hosters still finding they need to run their own name servers? or do you tell customer the IP to change their A record to? doesn't seem like running your own dns server is such a requirement like years ago was.
Is it me, or are half the people selling dedicated servers on this site, just reselling BurstNet? I think there should just be a dedicated forum on the dedicated server sales forum for BurstNet resellers.
Just one of my rants.. hope I don't get knocked for this.
Anyone have any idea of a dedicated company which offers programs of reselling their dedicated servers. Must be able to do so without any conditions like "oh u gotta have first xyz number of servers with us" , and plz dont suggest burst.net dont want to deliver poor servers/services/network to customers.
I am colo shopping in Phoenix. I have already been in contact with Jeff at Atjeu and iLand (at Level3)....
Are there other shared rack colo providers in the Phoenix or Tucson area? Probably will start with 3-5amp draw and 2-3mbit. Are there other DC's I should be looking at? I don't thing I'd be a spec on the radar at Limelight.
It's been a long time since I have last transfered an account between 2 servers.
I have reciently purchased a VPS using Xen as an upgrade from my resellers account. Only problem that I am having is actually transfering the accounts between the 2 servers.
I do not have root access to the resellers account and the server that it is on has tight security. I have tried using the transfer between 2 servers method on WHM however this has failed.
I have also tried the method of backing up, transfering to the other server which works fine. However I am unable to restore the full backup.
I have also tried the Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file [url] is WHM of my VPS however it is unable to find the backup files.
(SSH is also my week point when it comes to server knowledge)
I'm considering moving my servers into Fremont II data center with HE. I have a small operation with about 7 servers, all fairly low powered. But I like the idea that it is staffed 24x7 because sometimes I screw up and lock myself out of my box and have to drive down there to fix my stupid mistakes.
I'm basically looking for 1/2 cab with 1/2 cab power (7.5 - 10 amps) - like to have up to 50mb bandwidth (currently running about 30 now). Need block of 64 IP addresses. So it's a little small to buy from HE directly.
I do web hosting email hosting and spam filtering. Nothing too controversial except occasionally the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org) will ask me to host a site that other hosts were scared off by bogus legal threats. (powerpage.org is an example) So need someone who isn't scared off over a truly bogus threat.
So - I'm looking for information about HE resellers. I've seen ads for servertweak and EGIhosting and a few others and wondering about if they are any good or are there others that I should be considering. Or anything I should know about HE?
I'm especially interested if I can make a deal with someone to trade out spam filtering services for colo space. I have the best spam filtering on the planet.
When I logged on to one of the reseller accounts this morning, I noticed that all of my customers can see, and use the packages that are only meant for the root account. how can I make this stop!
Just an open-ended question that's been bugging me lately. As the industry moves to a more automated approach, I was wondering if cPanel users would likely move to another CP if it was fully automated (including the migration).
Either a custom solution or H-Sphere, if it meant you had one login for all of your services/no need to contact support for anything except actual problems.
There doesn't seem to be a list of folks that resell Level3 anywhere, and doing a GIS doesn't really help, either.
I'm looking for a couple of names of some companies that offer dedicated servers in Level3 facilities? Preferably in the Northeast, but anywhere on the East Coast is probably fine, too.
I know Limestone and TMS are L3 resellers, but they aren't east coast...
