I operate a co-located server in a US datacenter (dedicated to projects of my small business, not a hosting service.) The OS is Windows 2003 Server.
I wondered if anyone could recommend proxy server software which I could use to access the web from a US-based IP address even when I am overseas. (This would be helpful for getting streaming internet radio, which has started to block access from non-US IP addresses.)
I know there are endless proxy servers available, but most are big and complicated, with 255 irrelevant features intended for regulating the internet access of a small business. I need something much simpler, preferably placing little load on the machine. The only feature needed is access restriction so only I can use it.
Can anyone recommend an unmanaged server with cpanel budget is about $80 pm about 1tb bandwidth. Currently with volumedrive but the network is really slow at the minute.
Actually , I have some hosting customers in a Reseller Plan with HostGator.Paying $24.95/month,24GB(Space)/250GB (Bandwith) with WHM,CPanel,free WHMCS and free Enom Account and also a good support and great Uptime.
I'm planning to migrate to a VPS.Can you recommend a good VPS,with the same budget,WHM,CPanel,WHMCS,Enom and also a good support and uptime.
I have a site that uses extreme amounts of bandwidth, I checked some of the popular companies like serverbeach and softlayer. Right now I'm leaning more towards serverbeach because they are cheaper, Are they a good company to go with? Let me know if you have any other recommendations.
I recently moved my site from a shared hosting plan at $5 a month to a VPS at JaguarPC. I took advantage of one of the offers here at Web Host Talk. My setup has cPanel with 320MB of RAM. I have another site running the same software (Joomla, vBulletin) with cPanel and only 256MB of RAM at KnownHost.
I've had zero problems with Knownhost and the site is snappy. The site hosted at JaguarPC continues to have all kinds of problems. Running a number of sites, I don't always get to check in on my sites unless I know of a problem. I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to this site, because it was having all types of PHP memory issues. When I first contacted JaguarPC, they said they boosted the memory in Apache. The issues remained, so I contacted them again. They recommended more RAM. Now, I checked on my KnownHost site and that's running on 256MB. I figured that maybe JaguarPC didn't allocate enough RAM when they set up the VPS. They confirmed 320MB. Not wanting to change hosts, I asked them to poke around a bit more, considering what I know about KnownHost and my success there.
I received this response: have checked and you are running named service on your server. named caches dns data and this can also consume a lot of memory, sometimes over a 100 MB may be consumed by this service.
In addition to cPanel and named which are most memory consuming applications running on your server, there are other applications like apache web server and the php scripts running on the server also consume some memory.
It is highly recommended that you upgrade the RAM on your VPS significantly to avoid such problems which may cause disruption of service. You can find a list of RAM and other VPS addons in the following link.
Instead of helping me resolve the problem, they simply keep asking me to get more RAM.
For SEO purposes, I like to keep my sites on different hosts. Can anyone recommend a VPS?
I was certainly unaware that "named service" had such an impact on my VPS. If that's the case, is there any harm in not having this? SEO or otherwise?
I have a proxy site which is hosted with a proxy host, do i have to use proxy hosting as i have an account with another host i might want to use. The proxy hosting has run out.
I'm outsourcing some works overseas and my oversea employees are directly contacting the customer to discuss his needs. Everything is fine except when a client sees the email IP address (he is dealing with a local company, how come he is being emailed me from India or some similar places).
So I decided to create a proxy server for the oversea employees. I need the one that requires the browser setting change to have all the traffic passing through the server/VPS, therefore the IP will be the IP of the server and there's no way to find the original IP (of course no problem is it exists in the proxy server, but not showing in any way to the customer).
The problem is I absolutely have no idea how to do this.
- Can this be accomplished on a VPS or a server is required?
- Do I need a Linux or Windows OS?
- Do I need any software? If so, could you recommend some.
I'd like to set up my server as a proxy for my own private use, where in my home PC's browser I can tell it the server's IP, port, and the password that I set, and it will function like a normal proxy. How can I do that? What software do I need and so on.
Does anyone have services to recommend? I simply need a proxy server so I have a private IP. Right now, my ISP assigns IPs as a pool among a lot of people, so downloading sites like rapidshare or megafile doesn't work for me.
What I need is a socks5 proxy that is available 24/7, dedicated private ip, and a fast server. Does anyone offer these types of information? What I am afaid of is that people may install keyloggers over free proxies or even some companies may do that as well,
Is it possible to implement reverse proxy for Sever-A through Sever-B.
The issue is let's say, Server-A is located in Network-A, and the Sever-B is located in Network-B. And the users in Network-B are allowed to access only to Sever-B while the Sever-B itself can access to Server-A. So, when the users from Network-B access to Sever-B, the traffic will be proxied through Sever-B to Server-A transparently without letting the users notice about how's the traffics go. The Server-B will be linux, thus squid is the primary proxy application to deal with. Is it possible to do with squid or it needs some other application?
How about a comparison of mod_proxy for apache vs. squid as all Sever-B should do is forward the requests coming from Network-B to forward to Sever-A and acting as a middle box between the two network scopes transparently. All the users in Network-B should do is accessing the Sever-B and the requests will be transparently going to Server-A without any configuration is done at their browser or any kind of NAT/Firewall rules on either of the networks.
I have a server that is running linux with WHM/cPanel , some of servers are rejecting mails through server and says that your server is open proxy mail server.
how to check that our server is open proxy or stop open proxy and how can i prevent our server from spammer?
I am recommending to a friend who is starting a proxy site, to do a successful launch by getting a dedicated server to host the single proxy domain.
He does not want to spend more than $40 per month.
Should he be considering a VPS, or are proxy usually against TOC of a VPS?
I have found a low end server at OLM.net with plenty of bandwidth allocation for $29.95. Is it powerful enough to sustain traffic from a proxy site that is just starting out?
i just receive an email from FDC they have this offer for me AMD 2400 2GB RAM 80GB HDD 10TB/month bandwidth CentOS DirectAdmin Proxy allowed and i have a server now it,s opteron 246 dual core with 2G ram with DA panel and 1000 G bw the proxy network i have reach 20.000 UV per day can that server from FDC well do what i need it to do or .. .. .. and can i reach 10TB with them?
I will be storing personal customer information in mysql, so security is driving all my requirements. I was thinking the architecture will be :-a dedicated web server within a DMZ and placed behind a firewall and border router.
a dedicated database server inside the internal network behind another firewall, All running Linux
building out and management of the servers to be done by hosting provider or third party Please feel free to comment on this setup.
QuestionsIs a reverse proxy a benefit for security.
Am I right in saying that a reverse proxy hides the OS and server details from prying eyes and provides another layer of security
if a reverse proxy server is a benefit, is it normally the default architecture at most reputable hosts.
I plan on purchasing a dedicated server to run a few proxy sites. However, i don't have a lot of Linux skills to administrate my own server. But i've always been able to figure stuff out so i feel pretty confident that i can get it going on my own. Anyways, My original idea was to use cPanel to run the web server for the proxy sites however i feel that using cpanel is not a great idea since i also wanted to maximize my servers performance and i hear cPanel can take heavy resources. So anyways, I just wanted to know what some other people here might think and if possible any recommended guides on setting up a linux webserver would also be appreciated as well.
I'm having problems with users using open proxies accessing, abusing, and defacing my website.
I'd like to get a list of all open proxies and incorporate it into my site (i.e. block open proxy accesses)
I've already looked at SORBS, but that is DNS based, and I'm not sure I want to go that route. (I am running one DNS server for my own webserver to use. Don't want to mess with adding another zone for the dnsbl).
I've be much happier building my own php/mysql lookup of the proxy blacklist.
So I'm looking for somewhere I can simply download a proxy blacklist, and update it periodically as needed.
