if its possible to find a VPS reseller that allows you access to their HyperVM or Xen installation, soo you can add/remove/update accounts instant with out going through their management system ?
I really think this type of service has potenial, if its possible to do this in a safe way and low cost.
I mean like no ID checks and they provide instant setup if I am paying by paypal. I know credit card they find it risky but I am paying with paypal they should not ask for any ID verification and Hostgator claims they provide instant setup but its very rare they flag your order even if you pay by paypal.
I setup FTP access on Plesk, then when i try connect to the server it seems to be trying to access through a old installation on FileZilla Beta server manager, that was obviously installed on the server a while back. I can only think it is not using which ever FTP manager Plesk uses.
I have a rented VPS with 2TB of disk space and a plesk license in order to host the sites that i develop and my sites, and found myself with around 1.8TB of free space, plesk samba management and plesk vpn management but with few missing pieces for my idea. My idea was to setup vpn tunneling between my laptop and desktop to plesk server and access samba share from the server like they were in my LAN.In the firewall I have opened only the classic mail and web ports (obviously plesk access too).
Is there any recommended hosts that offer Dedicated Server with Virtuozzo License. What are the things to look for when choosing a provider for VPS offering. What is the recommended hardware for average VPS hostings.
I remember The Planet used to offer Dedicated Servers with Virtuozzo license a few years back but I couldn't find this information anymore there. Who are the lead players for dedicated servers for VPS currently in the industry?
I have just looked at the plesk panel log - /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log - and seen an alarming number of attempts to access plesk using the admin user. i.e.
[2015-02-02 14:53:46] ERR [panel] [Action Log] Failed login attempt with login 'admin' from IP 50.62.148.176
I have fail2ban installed and set up for other things...
Many guy will be answer: "yes, we are interested". And many DC have a such offer. But, usually it mean some time for setup - from 15 minute to few hours. I speak about true instant server - you will select config what comply to your requirements, order it, pay for invoice and within a few minutes after payment receive welcome message.
What you think about such offer? What server config will be interesting and with what O/S, addons, budget, etc.
I am currently using WinSCP to edit files on remote servers on the fly without having to download them and then open them. WinSCP works fine, but today I experienced a severe problem for a second time.
When saving a file (a css file), WinSCP gave me an error something to the effect of "Lost connection - Could not list directory"...or something like that. When I reconnected, the file has gone corrupt at 0 bytes. Ultimately, the file is history!
Thankfully, I had a backup of the file, but more specifically, I am a fan of "Ctrl+A " then "Ctrl+C" before saving any file when doing live edits. This is what saved my butt!
I have a continuous problem of losing my connection with the remote servers, but when I connect via SSH to my local servers (either locally here or when I am mobile), I do not believe I have EVER lost my SSH connection.
My question is this...
Is there another FTP program out there that anyone can recommend that will allow me to edit files over FTP that does not require download, then open? Filezilla works great, but to my knowledge, I can only download each file, then open.
I have reported the problem to the host and we have gone through the settings with WinSCP and I have also been to WinSCP about this issue...all to no avail.
I know it takes 24-48 hours for new domains to resolve and all that stuff.
But I was wondering. Say I am using my Registrar's DNS and I made 2 subdomains NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM and their A records point to my server.
Say I switch my websites to another server and my domains have the same name servers, NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM, but I change their A records instead, shouldn't the update be INSTANT? I mean, people should be instantly be able to access the new server as soon as I change the A records, right?
Because, currently, when I use the registrar's DNS and nameservers NS1.MYREGISTRAR.COM and NS2.MYREGISTRAR.COM and if I want to switch server, I just change the A record of WWW.DOMAIN.COM and I can INSTANTLY access the other server through my domain.
Shouldn't the same rule apply if I make custom NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM and use them as my nameserver istead of NS1.MYREGISTRAR.COM and NS2.MYREGISTRAR.COM?
how I can find a company similar to admingeekz.com which provide instant admin support for Debian servers? Admingeekz only work with Redhat. We need somebody who can look at our Debian server asap because it has been down for several hours and we don't know why.
I've googled around but could not come up with any company or free lance professional offering such a service (instant support). We can make a down payment via PayPal instantly and you would get root access.
Sister company recently asked me to start offering VPS reseller accounts as part of our product range but after researching how other companies are doing this, i fear i may have gotten this wrong.
My thinking on the VPS reselling process was as such, like a reseller account, as in, the customer buys a chunk of space/ram/bandwidth and then cuts it up into however they like and sells it at profit.
However, i have realised this is not the case with other companies, they give you a discount per how many VPS's you order, or do the whole affiliate referral scheme.
We have the "advantage" of using HyperVM where we can setup clients to have a certain amount of ram/clients/ip's/bandwidth/disk space, hell, they can even setup vps's accross different nodes. Im sorry if this sounds like a sales post, the main part im trying to get at is, why do others companies not provide this? Am i missing an important security issue?
I've noticed a lot of VPS hosts that use other control panels besides cpanel, but what I'm looking to do is get a reseller account and have WHM/Cpanel on it. I haven't seen a host offer to install this for me when setting up the VPS, are there any companies that do this?
I just contacted support at my current VPS provider about an issue I had when setting up a reseller account and here the (partial) reply I received.

You are reselling? You are not allowed to resell with the package you are on. VPS packages can't handle this much as its still a shared environment.
Supposedly the server is a Dual Xeon 3.0ghz with 2mb cache, 8gb RAM, 15,000 RPM SCSI drives in RAID 5 and hotswap, triple redundant power supplies and it can't handle reselling? WTF?
I'm not even actually reselling as the reseller account I setup was for my wife so that she can manage her own domains!
I think the VPS package maybe a rip anyways at $114/month: 20 GB HD, 2048 MB (384 MB Guaranteed), 300GB/Month, Cpanel w/ WHM, Full Management, Monitoring, Root Access, Daily Backup
The only reason I even am using this particular host is that I used to have a dedicated with them and was looking to downsize due to some cash-flow problems.
A lot of the web hosts I Come across are resellers. This is understandable, but is it possible to find out who they are reselling for? Also, is it possible find out who the registrar of a domain is? I know of whois, but it doesn't seem to tell me the original host/registrar.
I'm thinking about getting into reselling dedicated servers, and would like to know if any of you here have done this in the past or present and what your experience was or is doing it.
I currently have a series of websites hosted with HostGator. The thing is, having a series of shared hosting plans starts to add up after a while. What I was considering was purchasing a reseller account (which will save us about $15/month) and then just hosting all our websites from there, obviously, not reselling the plans, just using them internally. For the savings, it seems like a logical thing to do. When we purchased shared plans, I bought bigger plans than we need, expecting the sites to grow (which some have, others have not).
Has anyone done this? Do you suggest it? Would there be a better way than buying a reseller account (We can't afford a dedicated server quite yet)?
