Purchasing Expiring Domains
Aug 12, 2008
I've noticed that one of my "competitor" fansites has gone into redemption. Just like mine, this site was completely non-profit, but unlike mine it had not been updated for about 3 or 4 years!
Now before you mention it, yes I would like some traffic from the site, but I'd much rather not see another standard site published by a company that buys old domains and sells them on. It's extremely frustrating when you click on a link and get a site filled with google adwords, absolutely no information and a "Buy this domain" link.
I'm not planning to automatically redirect anyone to my site from it, but rather post some information on what's gone on and a list of where they can find the information they were probably after including sites that I do not own.
What is the best way to purchase the domain?
How can I find out exactly when it will run out and be available?
Is there any way to preorder it or anything like that?
The only info I can find is:

I'm trying to figure out an iptables rule to block certain ips for a limited duration, after which the block rule will be removed.
hits to the iptables filter while the ip is blocked should not renew the timer.
i got as far as:
iptables -A INPUT -m recent --name blacklist --rcheck --seconds 10 -j REJECT
iptables -A INPUT -m recent --name blacklist --remove
but how do i blacklist an ip now ? (this needs to be done via external app and not via iptables matches/hitcounts)
iptables -A INPUT -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -m recent --name blacklist --set
would renew the blacklist every time that ip sends a packet no matter if it is blocked or not. and also that rule would remain in iptables even when expired

Ran an update on my CPANEL setup and I got four emails from WHM that say:
Certificate for courier-pop3d on hostname.domain.com will expire in less then 30 days. You should install a new certifcate as soon as possible. You can install a new certificate in WHM under "Manager Service SSL Certificates", or by clicking this link: [url]
Certificate for exim on hostname.domain.com will expire in less then 30 days. You should install a new certifcate as soon as possible. You can install a new certificate in WHM under "Manager Service SSL Certificates", or by clicking this link: [url]
Certificate for cpanel on hostname.domain.com will expire in less then 30 days. You should install a new certifcate as soon as possible. You can install a new certificate in WHM under "Manager Service SSL Certificates", or by clicking this link: [url]
Certificate for courier-imapd on hostname.domain.com will expire in less then 30 days. You should install a new certifcate as soon as possible. You can install a new certificate in WHM under "Manager Service SSL Certificates", or by clicking this link: [url]
Anyone suffered the same thing. I can probably pin this to the update of CPanel. But I want to make sure of whats the correct steps to take upon receiving this.
As I don't want to install some new CERTS as my WHM is telling me to if its a dupe.

Are there any sites that sell portable ip address blocks like this [url], but for the united states? I can't really read that site, but it looks like for 150 euros a month you can get a 256 portable IP address block. 89.36.148.0/23 seems to be a block purchased from them [url], then routed to AWKnet.

I've been searching Google for a few days in hopes of finding companies that take off lease server equipment (sometimes almost brand new) and auctioning it off to people.
I've been buying alot of equipment through resellers of these places but I would like to cut out the middle man expense and bid for myself.
For example. This week I purchased ten Dell PowerEdge R200's with X3220 Xeon CPU's in them. These are fairly new. I don't want to buy first generation single-core xeon servers.
Look forward to finding out who is supplying these people.

I realise that a lot of providers build theirs from parts, but I was wondering where I could find some cheap low - mid range servers already built (or at least with the case etc).
I have tried searching eBay, but it's difficult to find what I am looking for. Are there any large companies out there? I am from Australia, and from what I can see there aren't really any around from here. (Looking for an upgrade for my colo).

Will it be a problem if I purchase a SSL certificate, but my current webhost doesnt support it?
I plan on purchasing the SSL now, and then later move the webhosting to a site that supports it?

As many of you may have already read my initial review or the New York NOC I wanted to leave an additional exit review of the company and share a personal recommendation.
It started a little over a month ago when I jumped VPS providers and initially purchase 2 VPS plans . Initially the boxes were rock solid. I could get to my websites, admin area, and have support tickets responded to in a timely manner. Roughly a week later I ended up moving another site to itâs own VPS . This is when I noticied my first issues. CONSTANT ERROR MESSAGES stating the backend was down and to please restart it.
I would launch a support ticket, roughly 2 hours later the backend would be rebooted and I could once again access the admin panel and do what I needed to. Like clockwork when I would try to login again later to my admin panel I would be hit again with the backend was down (hypervm would be in a constant refresh). Sometimes my sites would remain online and sometimes they would go down too. This got frustrating but was bearable (I thought). Within a few days I see a BIGGER problem arise. I woke up one morning to find error alerts coming in and realizing 2 VPSâs had been offline for hours on end. I again launch another support ticket for the backend to be rebooted. I get a response everything is ok so I go about my day. I later receive an e-mail stating all of my sites were showing a mysql connect error and panic. Come to find out they had corrupted this time when the backend went down, I repair and optimize and everything is ok. VERY next day I wake up and check my nightly logs to make sure the nightly backup was loaded onto my home server. I donât see it and find I received an e-mail from lxadmin stating it could not backup the database. Once againâ¦..corrupted. This has been going on since that time frame on almost a daily basis. The backups are iffy if they will come in since when the backend gets overloaded and crashes in the middle of the night, it immediately corrupts all dbâs on the VPS. I could understand 1 VPS doing thisâ¦..but 3? Come onâ¦.
Now comes Thanksgiving, my boxes go down for roughly 5 hours before reboot and once again I have to repair them on a blackberry with ssh since I am away (never fun to type that on a bb). I am back online and go about my dayâ¦â¦.thenâ¦..Friday. My box goes down at 5pmâ¦..I send in a support ticket to have it rebooted. The next morning at 11am it finally gets turned back on and I get a response that it must have been on my end since everything looks ok from there (granted 3 monitoring services were all showing it down). Once againâ¦..corrupted. I rebuild and think the SLA was 99.9% so I send in a nice message to ask about it. Here is the response:
Posted: 11/29/2008 12:33
Hey Guys.
Since one of the VPS accounts was down for 17 hours do I qualify for the 99.9% SLA?
(3 Monitoring Services show the outage happened at 5:34PM last night and I have recovery notifications for this morning at 11:16AM)
Thanks
----------------------------
IP Address: 71.76.239.xx Andy
StaffPosted: 11/30/2008 20:49 Hi Ryan,
Unfortunately our SLA applies to network uptime and not power or hardware related.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
-------------------------------
The New York NOC Inc.
www.thenynoc.com
Visit our new forums! [url]
Soâ¦â¦99.9% SLA does not cover if no one is in the datacenter to reboot the box because it is off-lineâ¦..I thought SLAâs covered your box being on-line, am I wrong?
So now after too many corruptions to count, support taking longer and longer in between responses I am left looking over my books. Last year alone between Thanksgiving and the following Sunday I brought in roughly $2300 dollars in sales. This year for the past 4 days I have brought in $10â¦â¦ I have had some longtime recurring customers so I asked them for any feedback on what we could do to earn there business again. Out of 40+ people all but one stated that if I could fix the sites downtime they would return (the other responses was of course to lower prices). Second suggestion they had was to fix my e-mails from ending up in their spam box. Yes I was sold ALL dirty ipâs which had all been blacklisted. Some major ispâs worked with me and allowed me inâ¦(some)
Before I get flammed for choosing these guys, they truly were great up front so obviously I got fooled. I have no doubt they are great for some people but I simply can not drive my business into the ground because I went cheap and in the end got what I deserved. I moved to futurehost today and almost **** myself when a response ticket was answered in under a minute (kinda scary for a low priority ticket).
With this said, before you consider NewYorkNoc simply ask yourself if your business or site is important to you, if you can afford to lose business, and if you want constant downtime along with mysql corruptions daily. I am not saying they are the worst as they were helpful at first. Just EXPECT that when the deal is that good, you are being oversold. There is no other explanation in my books.
To sum this up:
Uptime: 3 out of 10 (there were up sometimes)
Customer Service: 2 out of 10 (would have given higher I did not have to repeatedly e-mail over the backend issues)
Price: 10 out of 10 (admit it, the price point these guys have is good)
Value: 1 out of 10 (I made a bad choice, I lost a ton of money in business and now have to work hard to recover my losses and rebuild relationships)
Recommend to others: 2 out of 10 (why 2? This place might be good for offsite backup maybe?)
This review is NOT out of spite due to my recent downtime. This review is merely my opinion and personal experiences and not written to bash NYNOC. If your happy with them then you are doing well. If you are considering themâ¦â¦.I urge you to think elsewhere. All my data is off the VPS and I am running before the backend crashes again corrupted my DBâs.

I'm interested in understanding more about how people who own data centers or rent out space at a data center (not just a rack) make their purchasing decisions for the environmental systems, power distribution, back-up generators, cabling, etc.
Does anyone know where I can
a) Talk to someone about this
b) Find out more information online
c) An industry association for data center managers

I have 2 wordpress blogs, and I'd like a few different domains to be shared on each of them.
Using some exemples, suppose I have domains from domainA.com to domainE.com. domainA.com is my main domain and the others are addon domains.
Today Blog1 is using blog.domainA.com, and domainB.com and domainC.com use WebRedirect to blog.domainA.com. And Blog2 uses domainD.com with WebRedirect on domainE.com too.
To access a post like /2008/02/02/this-is-a-nice-post, it is available only at blog.domainA.com, and not by domains B and C. I'd like they 3 to be able to access all posts directly, without redirecting to domain A.
To do that, I suppose I'd need to do some config on cPanel. And also on wordpress, even if I replicate it over other domains it insists to redirect to its configured domain.
I was thinking on the possibility of using symbolic link (ln -s) on their folders to blog.domainA.com folder, but I don't have access to shell on SSH so I'd like to know if it would work before trying.
In a real exemple of what I want, these domains all share the same phpBB forum: forumpcs.com.br, extremepc.com.br, forumdohardware.com.br.
Do u know if symbolic link would work to share the same wordpress? And how to make wordpress stop redirecting to blog.domainA.com?

I have one registered domain on VPS with DNS hosting and would like to host more domains (sites) on that VPS.
As I understood, I don't have to buy DNS hosting for the other domain, so how do I host more domains? It's Windows VPS with Plesk. Can anyone explain in detail?
Do I need to create NS records for my registered domain (ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com) and then point other domain to those nameservers?

I basically have three registered domains for my three small textiles businesses and use them only for google apps for email.
I am planning to use the domains for creating small websites for both the firms so that my business looks professional to my existing customers. I just want to add a few pictures of my factory and products and a small business profile for each of them.
What I want is a hosting service, which gives me about 100 mb space, very limited bandwidh (because I wont have more than a few dozen visitors every month) and facility for 3 domains. Also it should be easy to use, because I have absolutely no html or any such knowledge and would prefer if I could use a WYSIWYG interface initially.
Also since I wont be using the website to sell products or any other important core-business activity, I dont want to spend too much, maybe just about $2 per month or lesser. I dont care about 99.9% uptime etc. coz I wont be getting too many visitors. I am located in India and most people browsing my site would be from within India.

We're currently working with a customer to add a .nl domain to our server. However, there seems to be strict guidelines set for the registration of .nl domains. We've tried various zone modifications, but to no avail.
Ran a check on DNSReport just to verify that our settings are fine, and we're only having this problem with .nl domains:
[url]
Wondering if anyone had any experience with dealing with this issue. We basically need this to check out (SIDN is the registrar for .nl domains):
[url]
But when we put the customers domain, and our nameservers, here is the message:
** Summary: REJECTED jumpstyleholland.nl.
Some problems need to be fixed:
- Some of your name servers cannot be used (are broken).
** Full check report:
* primary name server "ns1.jetnethost.com." [BROKEN]
Broken: the name server does not know of domain "jumpstyleholland.nl."
* secondary name server "ns2.jetnethost.com."
Info: name server looks correctly configured.

I've recently set up a dedicated server (CentOS) and was wondering whether it was possible to have multiple domains pointed to the same ip, but not just transfering to it, but the domain name should remain in the address bar, no matter what domain you use.
Example:
when I visit domain.net, I'd like to browse my site, look at a thread and the address is something like: domain.net/forum/showthread.php?f=5, but when I visit seconddomain.org, I should be able to look up the very same thread and get seconddomain.org/forum/showthread.php?f=5 in the address bar.
And if this would be possible, how could I let search engines understand it's the same site & only get indexed once and not get penalised for both site not having original content?
Would I need to setup a nameserver of my own?
I can forward both the domain to either a name server or an ip.

I've been having this problem for a while now. I have a dedicated linix server running with the cpanel. I've setup my own nameservers and for the most part it all runs without a problem. However, every now and then the domains will not resolve for many people.
This may only last a few minutes but it happens regularly. There doesn't seem to be any pattern. The server is still available via IP address. Also, any domain name set as a nameserver with the registrar is not affected by this problem. All other domains are affected. This problem has persisted over many cpanel updates.
I have gone through all the nameserver files (I can think of or have read about) looking for something that may be causing this but everything looks normal.

Been browsing the site and would value your opinions.
Addon domains are supplied by some webhosts and not others, one of the hosts who does not supply any addon domains puts across a good argument that they can overload a server if they get out of control.
How do others apparently manage these with no problems?

I have 25-30 domains, mostly directories and WordPress sites, and I can no longer afford my $300/month dedicated server. Can anyone recommend a good service for < $25/month?
I'd like all my domains to be called "domain.com", not "domain.maindomain.com". I'm also aware, however, of the dangers of going with a shared service that offers "unlimited" domains (and hosts thousands of them on each server).

I have a pretty 'beefy' VPS (Future Host 'Titanium' plan, 1Gb RAM, equal share, 750 Mb bandwidth, 50Gb disk).
I'm using it mostly to host relatively small, low-traffic Wordpress sites. Right now, there are about 40 domains & blogs set up.
The majority see only a few dozen visitors per day. A few have traffic around 100 visitors, and 1 or 2 may get up to 500 per day.
My question is, what might be a comfortable limit on domains/blogs I can host before I should start thinking about adding a 2nd VPS?

Lets say you own the .com and .net of a domain name. Are there any consequences to pointing your DocumentRoot of two domains to the same directory? I'm thinking this could mess up your logs, passwords, or general configuration. Let me know if you've had any experience with this.

Suddenly out of the blue, for no apparent reason at all (no action or config changes on my part) I cannot access two of the few domains on my box, yet they work fine via proxy. I can access another domain of mine on the same box without the need for proxy. This is strange and just happened out of the blue.
Using cpanel / centos 4.6 / apache 2 / php 5.2.5
Apache error logs give no indication. Firewall (CSF) is not blocking me on the server. This is really weird.
I cannot even receive via pop3 but I can send.
