I bought a VPS from lowest host long back (around 2 months back) , I had dropped my mind to run my site so I ran my VPS with them for a motn and then closed my site and kept backupin my PC..but then I made my mind to start my site again but backup was deleted from my PC by mistake..Then I sent a mail to lowest host and I got my backup back even after 2 months of suspension
They just rock give them a try

I updated my name servers to reflect my new web host two days ago. The name servers have updated, but the site is still pointing to the old host!
I emailed my host about this and they told me to email my registrar. The host says the domain is registered with the new name servers but these name servers are registered with IPs outside of their network. I'm confused and have never had this problem before when changing DNS.
Where can I check a host's uptime record?
What is the most credible source to verify a host's uptime record?
I was wondering if all hosts can pretty much handle streaming mp3 and video, or if there are certain things I should consider when looking for a host? I dont have a big budget or anything, so I guess a shared server package is what I would have to go with.

I added new sub domain name using cpanel on my vps server.
Now I need to create this sub domain on my localhost, so i can test everything before I upload them.
It seems with the latest version of 2.2.24 I've had to change the ProxyPass address in http-virtualhosts to the actual address of the web server itself (Websphere / tomcat) and not the reversproxy (Apache). It seems like originally we had it looking like this more or less: ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009 but now have ProxyPass / ajp://webserverip:8009 and it's working that way. Which way is correct and if this isn't the correct way how do I fix this? I was getting 503 errors when it was connected to localhost (along with ajp errors) but I was able to telnet to the webserver on 8009 successfully.

What are you guys using for cheap storage for backups? Tape won't work for me because I have a lot of data to be incremented every night and it all needs to be accessible 24x7 without my intervention. From what I understand about tapes (never used them) they aren't the best for getting what you need quickly.
Right now I am able to get cost per gigabyte down to 47 cents per useable gigabyte (factoring in two drives lost to a raid 6 and 90% format overhead), or about 37 cents per gigabyte for total capacity. I can achieve this by throwing a nice quad core xeon and like 4gb of memory and a nice 3ware card into a 24 drive bay supermicro system, and have the os run on a separate raid 1 on a separate card. It would be a pretty nice setup.
On the other hand, I looked at dell's powervault or whatever the storage devices are, the MD series, and things worked out to be 50.3 cents per useable gigabyte, or 42.3 cents per gigabyte for total capacity. And thats headless -- not including the actual server to interface with the 30 disk array. So that makes no sense financially, AND thats assuming that I am able to order it blank with no drives and buy my own drives, avoiding dells ridiculous 650-700$ pricing for terabyte drives.
Is there a better way to achieve low cost storage, that doesn't exactly have to be lightning fast? I only need to run rsyncs to it. I can't imagine that building a server with the array inside of it is cheaper than buying a stand alone enclosure or system for storage...not even iscsi or anything, just eSATA or something.
which data center has lowest rack/power costs, yet has decent reputation, security, and remote hands?
we have expanded to the point where we have backup equipment scattered everywhere and want to consolidate that equipment into a single rack or two.
Network quality is not an issue as it is backup, will only be used if we lose something elsewhere.
I have been getting this recently...For these two email addresses. Is there something that I can do about this? I've done tons of searching on google and actually putting my error (the one in the title) in quotes brings up like 3 results. All the other results bring up other numbers so...This isn't any sort of dns issue is it? I don't see why it would be but...I would preferably like to get rid of this little error. Has anyone else experienced it before? Thanks!

I have a problem with Yahoo defering my email from servers for weeks!
I've submit to [url]

MANY TIMES! this is getting me frustrated. what's more.. i try to change my SMTP to a new server (fresh IP within same network in the same DC) and it is ALSO deferred. How do I check if this has something to do with a whole block of IP maybe listed in some spam engine or something?

We are talking with a datacentre about colocation and im hiring a third party company to manage the servers 'on site' on our behalf.
Im looking for some feedback on the 'colocation agreement' and the 'server management agreement' to make sure were covering everything.
just to be clear, Ive got a server administrator who will access the server virtually so the only points of the agreement will be those tasks that need to be done 'on site'.
the points ive looked at so far are:
colocation agreement
> 1u and 2u costs.
> Server setup costs.
> Power allocation and cost of additional amp's.
> Bandwidth overages.
> storage space for spares
onsite server management agreement
> hardware replacement costs .
> Hardware upgrade costs.
> status monitoring.
> general server management.
1) what else should be covered in the colocation details?
2) what should be included within the 'on site server management' agreement?
3) what should be included under the description 'general server management'.
for example: I think physical reboots should be part of the server management agreement, but how many on average per server per month should be included?
3) should hardware replacement cost be fixed rate per task or hourly, also do you have any suggestions regarding what to expect over a year (nothing exact, just a bit of guidance to help with the budgeting)
Combined these agreements should cover everything that we can not do remotely.
I'm trying to setup a new SSL host on my server. I changed the IP address in the WHM, and even though the httpd.conf file shows the proper path to the site's directory, when i type in the domain I get the cpanel default page at the apache root directory.
anyone else have this problem? know a fix?
I restarted apache and BIND, but no luck.

What could be the cause of this error? Is it local or remote (out of my control)?
sometimes my server doesn't forward emails to other accounts, and I see in log file:

If I restart the server it works.
I have a VPS hosting account with godaddy and i already had a website over there. Lets say www.first.com
Now,I registered a different domain name and as i want to host this second website on the same server, i went into my control panel and "Added a new Domain" and told it's registered with godaddy nameservers and it's create a new user account and points this second website to the new user account folder.
So,when I type www.first.com, it goes to the first website
And,when I type www.second.com, it goes to the second website
So,far everything is fine. But here's the problem
And,when I type second.com, it goes to the first website
When I checked the MX Records in the godaddy account,both the domains point to the same VPS account IP i.e:
@ xx.xx.xx.xx
how to resolve this problem?
i have a simple reseller account to give my clients some hosting space. one specific client keeps the domain registered with his current domain registrar. to point the domain name at his new hosting account (provided by me) he's saying that he just needs the "a-record", not the nameservers that i gave him originally. i can not seem to find an a-record for my hosting accounts anywhere ...
my hosting support is saying the client will just need the IP address. but afaik ip address is not == a-record
can anyone clarify what an a-record is exactly and whether or not it can be interchanged with an ip address?
this is for a .co.uk domain name and my reseller account is with hostgator
Common scenario; email sent from our server to Yahoo does not arrive. It is so bad that we have a 23% order completion rate for Yahoo users. To compare, Gmail is 83%.
We send emails to confirm registration, and also to remind users to complete their invoices.
Our setup is like so:
User registers at registration.domain.com, a different server to domain.com.
Upon registering an email is sent to the user using the registration.domain.com web server but with a from address of info@domain.com
Our info@domain.com email address is hooked up to Google Apps as this is who we use to manage our inbox.
how to construct our SPF records? I am slightly confused as we have a mail server, a different reply to domain and MX records with Google..
What is A Record? and What is MX Record?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to setup SPF record for my domain. I am using Google Apps for the domain.
But I will also be sending mail from my vps server. Hence what should I use?
Quote:
v=spf1 a include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all
or
Quote:
v=spf1 a mx ~all
If both works, which one is better? I will be sending emails from subdomains of my main site too, so do I need to anything special for that?
I am using ~all instead of -all, because I sometimes send emails from my development server(which is having dynamic ip). Hence I don't want those emails to rejected, even if they are marked as spam.[url]
I need to update the TTL for the domain as i will need to migrate it to another IP. In my DNS record, there is a domain level TTL and also a record level (MX, A, CNAME) TTL. Which one should i change?

Would mail sent from whatever@domain.com get sent through gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi (Would the SPF record allow it?) or would I have to specify a:gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi in the SPF record?
Am trying to implement an SPF Record on my server to avoid my email going to junk folders.
I alredy create one but how do i input the info to my TXT record?
where is that file on the server?
Currently we use a short SPF record that is inserted to the customers DNS file when the account is created....
"v=spf1 a mx ~all"
I was wondering do you guys/gals have a standard SPF record, one that is tested and works or do you think the above entry is sufficent?
