Contacting Peerless Machines
Mar 15, 2008I've been trying to get hold of Nick at Peerless Machines for some weeks regarding a service I have purchased being significantly different than what was advertised. I have received some replies, each after several days, but they have been unsatisfactory in my opinion and nothing has picked up.
About a week ago I was asked for my Live Messenger address so that we could discuss the matter there, but after forwarding it to Nick and waiting several days I have received nothing. Their website also does not publish any significant contact details, and their billing system is disfunctional.
Does anyone have functional, direct contact details for Nick at Peerless Machines? A telephone number or Live Messenger address would be great.
Incompetence From PC-Core.net/Peerless Machines
Jul 25, 2008In recent weeks Peerless Machines was sold by a competent owner to PC-Core.net. Since that time, the server performance has been HORRIBLE, responses have been UNACCEPTABLY delayed, and none of their systems work.
They moved all shared and reseller clients over to a PC-Core sever. They had MySQL settings so tight that their own Kayako support desk didn't even function. Each time I tried to submit a ticket, their SQL server had "gone away."
When I contacted support (finally...manually through e-mail), the support responses were incoherent and ignorant.
I decided to cancel... but apparently that was too difficult of a task for them to complete.
I cancelled my account on July 14th. I received multiple e-mails from them saying that my invoice (due on the 20th) was overdue. When I replied to the bill, they said that the had no record of my account and that no invoice had been generated. Hmm.
So, I got two other e-mails informing me that my bill STILL had not been paid.
Please beware. Peerless Machines is no longer peerless..... It's now owned by PC-Crap . net!
Stay away....
Diskless Machines In Your Environment
Jul 17, 2007In your environment, have you ever used diskless machines (e.g. booted with BOOTP/DHCP/TFTP) for any reason? Where in your environment are you making use of them (e.g. what types of servers - web, application, database, DNS, etc...), and how has it turned out for you?
Has it actually yielded any of the promised benefits that the literature on them says, or was it a pain to set up and maintain?
Any interesting use cases on what you use them for and, as importantly, what are your criteria for determining whether a particular type of server should be diskless or not?
As this forum is filled with people with lots of experience running hosting businesses or their own web applications and therefore have managed thousands of machines between yourselves, I figured this is an appropriate and interesting question to ask. I'm hoping to get insights from here that I can't get from reading any old web article.
Preconfigured Virtual Machines
Jul 29, 2007Anyone know where to find preconfigured virtual machines? I'm looking for Cent OS 5 preconfigured with all the normal stuff (http, php, mysql, bind). I could set this all up myself but surely someone is in the business of creating preconfigured VMs?
I don't know all the precautions to take as far as securing a linux box, so a VM that is fairly secure like this would be very nice. I'm sure someone is already doing this, I just have yet to find them.
I think I'm going to use VMWare, but if the preconfigured VMs is for another virtual software, I'll reconsider.
Reassure Two DNS Machines (a Primary And A Secondary) With Iptables
Dec 22, 2006I would like to reassure two DNS machines (a primary and a secondary) with iptables
By default I block everything, but even with rules for the port 53, it blocks the queries needing to resolve via the primary, and the secondary does not manage to transfer the zones of the primary …
DNS are on public ip, but to simplify, we are going to say that:
The primary DNS is: 192.168.0.10
The secondary DNS is: 192.168.0.20
Here are iptables rules(sliders) which I have at present:
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t mangle -X
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i lo --source 127.0.0.1 --destination 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT
Thus with these rules, I have quite a lot of problems (resolutions, transfersof zones)
I found these rules on a forum, that seems to be interesting but as I do not know there not iptable, I ignore if it is what I miss or not.
For information here is all the same what I found (not tested):
#iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.20/255.255.255.255 --sport 1024:65535 -d 192.168.0.10 -dport 53 -m state state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
#iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.10/255.255.255.255 --sport 53:65535 -d 192.168.0.20 -dport 1024:65535 -m state state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
PS: server are under Linux Mandrake
Connecting To Local Server With Virtual Machines
Nov 9, 2007How do you go about setting up virtual machines so that they can see sites hosted on the host machine?
I've got Virtual PC 2007 and the disk image that MS supply for testing IE6 on Vista machines and I'm having trouble accessing my local Apache server (set up with XAMPP). Until recently I was able to set the XP VM's LAN settings to use a proxy server with the IP address of the host machine, but I got migrated to ADSL2+ yesterday by my ISP and now that's no longer working.
To access my sites locally, I set up httpd.conf like this:
PHP Code:
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:PathToFolder" ServerName siteName.local</VirtualHost><Directory "C:PathToFolder"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all</Directory>
and then in Windows hosts file I add 127.0.0.1 siteName.local.
So what's the best way of getting the host and VMs to talk to each other?
Apache :: Access Manual From Other Local Machines?
Jun 25, 2014Allow from 192.168.0.*
to the httpd-manual.conf to enable access by other machines on my network but it seems to be hard coded to localhost only.
Is there something else I can add to httpd-manual.conf to enable it or do I need to copy manual folder to the htdocs folder and then restrict that <Directory> ?
How Do I Configure Dedicated IP's On Virtual Machines Running On A CentOS5 Host
May 24, 2009How do I configure dedicated IP's on Virtual Machines running on a CentOS5 Host?
I installed VMWare Server 2 almost without a problem using no GUI, I now have the web interface for the VMWS2 and any machine I create and run on it seems to do so without a problem.
The thing is, I can't connect or know how to configure this virtual network so I end up using 2 dedicated IPs on the Virtual Machine.

Ovh.co.uk Reviews
Nov 18, 2008i found a nice ovh server which is a quad core with 8 gb of ram on a 1 GBps port. I saw a few reviews and i heard people say that they will lower your speed or something. What i need to host is a game server which uses a lot of upload. At least 10 mbps at MOST excluding users that have to download a 5 mb file. Perhaps if i tested my upload on speedtest.net if i had a ovh server that is on a 1 gbps port. What would the upload be?

Midphase Reviews?
Jun 13, 2006Anyone here used Midphase? Over at WHT you can find as many negatives as positives for almost anyone you chose. Anyone at Sitepoint used them? I'm very cautious about switching and have checked into several web hosts. I would stick with the one I have now, but server load spikes seem to come at the worst times and stay around for hours.

Nov 6, 2009I'm with ASmallOrange ( ASO - www.asmallorange.com ) already for more than one year. I have to say I have been very happy with the quality and service I have received.
SERVER
Server is very reliable. Yes, I encountered some issue months ago, because some DNS attack and password issue on ASO's staff, but they handle the situation very good and they was honest about it.
SUPPORT
Their support is fantastic. Actually, I seldom contact support since everything is okay, but when I did, their reply is fast and prompt.
COMMUNITY FORUM
They have good and active community forum.
PRICE
Their price is reasonable. Yes, ASO do not offer "unlimited" but their prices compared to quality is okay.

Any Reviews On Vpsrush
Apr 19, 2009any reviews on vpsrush?
I know they have started in just 2009, still there could be users who would like to share their review,
was lookin their plans for one of my friend, their plans look good
may be even impressive but after the mess around with the newly dooming/scam hosts such as hostchum, sarora, resellerways, it makes me think more than twice before selecting an host
See, I don't wish to raise up a discussion on the hosts again, its just my way of lookin at those recent dumb hosts which let lots of users in pain, including one of my dear friend.
I know its good to think twice, but it has made me lose faith really badly in the hosting industry thanks to the kiddies and scam hosts, to gain confidence back in the hosts might be a real tough buy
I know serving, wiredtree are still around but I am referring to the low-budget hosts..

Aug 6, 2009Since moved to Seattle area 2 years ago, I searched for a Supermicro-server-built vendor closed to Seattle. I found some, but their pricing seem expensive. Some others are very slow in response, even from other WHT users, they seem good. Recently, contacted Scott Lee at Kerbo System, and I believe I have found a good one.
As usual, I sent a lot of pre-sales questions. Scott is very nice, to answer all questions with details. He shows a good experience in server hardware building. Then, I decided to order a new dual Nehalem system with them. Transaction went smoothly, and I have server on time. He even took some photos of servers for me, before shipping out, so I can show to customers. He also noted down for me all series numbers of all parts in server, so I can keep track, in case something wrong.
At first, I am not very impressed with their home page, but please don't let you down. Drop Scott an email with your requirements, or what you are going to do with server, he will reply with his advice, what he's thinking the best in your case. A good service, especially for business likes ours, not in the US.
So, a short reviews about Scott Lee and Kerbo System. I would highly recommend them to anyone needs Supermicro servers in the West coast.
Scott, thanks for a good service. We are looking for a long term business relation.
