Aug 31, 2008
i am setting up a new server and am not sure what some of this is,i have just copies part of the page. Its a bit messed up but it will do.
What does Business Continuance Insurance
What does Host Ping and TCP Service Monitoring
24x7x365 NOC Monitoring, Notification, and Response
McAfee Host Intrusion Protection w/Reporting
10Mbps Hardware Firewall
Most explain themselves, but for the firewall ive already got mcaffec total protection does that have a fire wall and are any of these worth using.

we've been with Softlayer for a little over a year. The service has been good but their support has been a nightmare for us. There was a time that we were under a dos attack and they refused to do anything about it which is what forced us to switch.
But that's not the reason I'm here. My billing ends on the 12th, their terms require you cancel the server 3 days before billing ends. I pay manually each month by pay pal. I tried to cancel the server today, what I assumed was 3 days before the 12th and they told me I couldn't do it. That I had to pay for another full month. So I told them I just won't pay and they threatened me with a late fee. Is there anything legally these people can actually do to me if I don't pay? All they have is my contact information, I don't think they could submit to collections over that without my social security number.

I'm getting a server at softlayer, and I am curious, do I need to setup any sort of security on the box like a firewall?
Or is the default install safe enough?

Today 3 of my shared webhosting servers with them were disconnected.
After investigation in their portal I find out that 3 days ago + 1 hour 3 tickets were created about "your server hosted malware" and now those tickets were auto-processed with 3 servers disconnection in result.
Very strange that I receive "ticket updates" emails today (when disconnection happens) but not recieve "ticket created" emails.
My contact email domain has 2 MXs and widely used and I have no complains for not-delivered emails before.
Currently I'm waiting feedback for my phone call and answers in those tickets asking them to connect back my servers for me to take necessary steps.
But this is very strange approach - to auto-disconnect 3 servers at once only because I didn't receive their 1 email per ticket.

I know there are a few threads that are somewhat similar, so I apologize from that aspect, but since I am still not sure of the best option, I thought I would post my exact requirements and hopefully get some good advice.
We need a Windowss dedicated server, probably in the 8 core/8gig RAM variety for a rather intensive Asp.net/MS SQL site. It is a corporate site that is expected to see heavy usage with fairly heavy DB/reportng related web pages.
The majority of people accessing the site will be connecting from Europe.
We will have little, if any, need for management support of Windows or IIS, we are primarily looking for reliable hardware, with quick hardware repair when failures come, and in a redundant DC to avoid downtime (hardware or internet pipe).
The price difference between rackspace and the others does not concern us, so price while a consideration, is towards the bottom of our list of priorities.
As our users are in Europe, a European DC would probably be ideal, but that is one question I have. How much difference will performance/latency be with an American DC vs. European DC for our European users.
English speaking (native language, preferably) support is a must.
A High powered machine (minimum would be 8 cores x 2ghz + 8 gig ram) is a must (possibly two servers -- possibly a router based load balancing of the two servers).
Fast, reliable/redundant internet pipe. We need a DC that will not be unreliable, wether it is from internet outages due to lack of redundancy, or speed fluctuations due to overselling the bandwidth.
So, basically, I have two main questions, I suppose.
First, since the majority of my users will be in Europe, should I only consider a European DC? How much difference will my European users see/feel if we are in a US DC? What difference does it make if the DC is on the East cost, then say Texas?
Second, with price not being a primary consideration, and needing little or no managed support (besides hardware support), just high power machines in a HIGHLY reliable DC, which are the best companies to go with?

As described in the title I need a paid monitoring service which provides sms alerts and tells SoftLayer immediately so they can investigate the issue and make what needed to bring the server online.
I like hyperspin.com service but it looks there is no way to send SoftLayer an automated notification because there is a need to open a ticket.
I can't be attendant at my office 24 hours so I need this service which alerts me with sms about the fail and simultaneously tells my provider so my server will not be down for a long time.

I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.

As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice

I've registered a new domain name and 'hired' a Virtual Private Server (not managed) to host it. I know 'some things' in php and web design but I'm newbie with configuring servers (especially remotely on a Linux server.... )...
This is what I've done so far :
1. registered domain name at namecheap.com and set up DNS there (my VPS server names)
2. I've installed Linux Ubuntu 8.04 on my VPS
3. I've downloaded and installed XAMPP 1.7.1 on my VPS
I've registered my domain name yesterday and it is still 'invisible' when I type in the address... BUT when I type in my VPS's IP address, the XAMPP welcome screen appears (MySql isn't running though...).
I know this is a child's play for a Linux expert, please if someone knows a good tutorial, step-by-step guide on how do I set up everything to work properly....

if I could assist his small company in setting up an FTP server. What they are looking to do is provide a way for people to login and access files. They can either bring down the files that are left for them or they can upload files. Is setting up an FTP server difficult? Is it time consuming? Can you customize it so that certain files can only be seen for specific usernames?

We had the server management company setup name servers on the new server but SSH shows different results from the old versus new server. Here is the output:
Old Server:
root@host [~]# cat /etc/nameserverips
xx.xx.xxx.xx1=ns1.domain.com
xx.xx.xxx.xx2=ns2.domain.com
xx.xx.xxx.xx3=0
xx.xx.xxx.xx4=0
New Server:
root@www1 [~]# cat /etc/nameserverips
xx.xx.xx.x=0
They do not seem to match. Can someone provide some instructions as to how we can check within WHM to make sure name servers are setup corretly?

So when you setup a new server, what should I do. I will only be running 1 site for now (vbulletin forum site), should I just install Apache, MySQL, Php, setup the DNS, etc.
Or Should I just Install Plesk, and let that do it.
Most Likely will just be running a 2.53Ghz Core2Duo, 4GB 250GB. I have setup a webserver before just basically though but think I could manage. I think that Plesk would make it easier but would also eat up resources, on the other hand though not having it would use less resources but require more configuration.

I want to setup a dedicated within my home based business, what is the easiest and cheapest way to do this, I understand I would need a static Ip address from my Internet provider (is that right?) also Do i need a spare PC to do this or can I run my main PC and still be able to run it when it's switched off?
The reason I want to learn how to do this is:
1. Save on fee's every month
2. Provide more services at low cost to clients
3. Learn more about the hosting business.

I've been doing some research and thought why not split the server into a bunch of virtual servers so I can offer both windows and linux hosting.
What is the best option for doing this?
I've come across VMware Server but also noticed centOS has "Virtualization provided by the Xen hypervisor with Virtual Machine Manager"
Assuming I go with splitting the server up, do I create a virtual centOS server and install cPanel on that one or on the main install?
Totally new to virtualization.
