Domain Name Server (DNS) Needed
May 9, 2008I need 2 dedicated DNS servers.
I'd like one server on the east coast and one on the west or close to it.
They will be used for primary ans secondary dns only.
Simply running Bind and webmin.
I need cheap servers since they are pushing dns data around.
Not very bandwidth intensive or cpu resource intensive.
The most important thing is that the backbone redundancy is amazing.
You can get a good server at a lot of place these day, but who has the staff and backbone to make sure these servers are not bottlenecked and up and running.
What Changes Needed Once The Server Ip Address Changes
Jun 4, 2008i run a linux server with the planet it comes with ensim installed.
as some of you probabley heard about the fire at the planet and they offered to move my server to another facility but they have to change the server ip address which i agreed to it
the server is back online but i'm unable to acces any websites
i asked them to point all domains to the new ip address but they are really busy and i assume it would take a day or 2
when i login to ensim and list all sites i still see the old ip address listed under each domain, do i need to change that if so how?
will everything work once the they modify dns records?
VPS Recommendation Needed For A Low-end Server
May 13, 2007I've searched quite a bit for myself now, but I have yet to find a place that offers what I need. Most of the servers seem way too overpowered for my needs, but the lower-end server offerings I've found don't have the necessary space and/or bw.
What I'm looking for is something along these lines:
I basically only need to run Apache/Lighthttpd, PHP and MySQL, along with a custom program that would only use 1-2% cpu at its peak and not more than 1mb memory. The web server part would probably not serve more than 10-20 simultaneous visits at its peak.
CPU and memory requirements are therefore very small for me. However, I need 10gb space at the very least, along with ~200gb bw.
I would preferably like the server to be located in Europe, or have very good connectivity to Europe, as I need as low pings as possible.
Unmanaged and no control panel needed.
Streaming Dedaicted Server Needed

May 8, 2008I'm after some recommendations for dedicated hosts in London, UK.
My budget is reasonable (about £400 / month). I don't want a reseller, I would sooner go direct to a main host, someone reasonably large. Like The Planet but in London.
I want a very good reliable service (don't we all!).
I'm aware of Rackspace, but aside from that any recommendations welcomed!
Seattle DC Windows Dedicated Server Needed

If you have a server that is not used and willing to give me a better price since I use little bandwidth.
Is Anything Other Than Open_basedir Even Needed?
Dec 9, 2008Assuming that an account on my server is hacked into, is open_basedir enough to protect other users on the same server? I would assume so, since php would not have access to those other accounts? Why is suphp needed?
Ofcourse, I also disabled dynamic loading of modules (apache) and added some disable_functions list.
Opinion Needed About Liquidweb
Apr 20, 2007I have 2 dedicated servers and one VPS with liquidweb. Lately I am facing quite an issue with support and I think I am posting 2nd time about liquidweb support.
Its all about my VPS, which use to hold 45 clients consumming around 50 % disk space and around 30 % bandwidth.
On 3rd of April VPS started to shoot emails about services failure and continuously went for 2 days. Then on finally 5th April, it went down. So I reported this to liquidweb support by creating a ticket(I created the ticket by shooting an email to support@liquidweb.com not by logging into PIMS). I got an reply in around 1 hr 20 mins that server is up. So i checked it and yes it was up, but with lots of issues. Still were getting service failure emails as they are failing and above all my root password stopped working. So couldn't login into WHM that time.
I reported this back on 6th April. No reply on 6th of April. On 7th april, I sent a reminder about the issue. They repiled by asking for my last 4 digits of credit card for verification purpose (Designatation of that person was written Web Designer) . Now when I ordered this using paypal, there is no question of last 4 digits of credit card. So I politely replied them back within 4 hours that I have used paypal for ordering the VPS.
They didn't reply back on 7th, not on 8th. Finally on 9th, when I lost few customers because I can't login into WHM, I wrote a bit stringly worded post in that support ticket.
To quote myself.....
"OPPS!!!....This has been a tremendous lack of response from you guys. It seems
that you don't have support guys anymore. I have lost few customers
because I can't login into my WHM. And it seems that you have changed my
root password and now not letting me know about this.
Suddenly one web designer is replying my ticket.
Whats is happening there?
Let me know my root password immediately.
Thanks
Krish"
Now after posting this reply, I decided to call them. So within 30 mins of this post I called them. Jason, a system admin replied and we talked politely about the issue. He accepted over phone that it was big mess.
Why big mess?????...because when he restored my old password and I logged into WHM....I don't see any account left . All data lost...everything gone as it appeared there is nothing left.
So he took up the issue of restoring account. He claimed that server was rooted. Now how come after so many days and communications they discovered my server was rooted?
Then he started restoring accounts....all accounts came back but with a loss of around whopping 80% loss of data. Most of customers started complaining about loss of emails and data. On 10th again I reported them about such loss and mysql which was not working. They fixed the mysql issue, but no database was left.
Then I got busy on 11th, could not follow it up as I should have been doing. But still as I was waiting replies from my customer about how much is the loss (I was telling them that we should be able to get them back from backup).
So I reported back to support on 11th as follows...I quote myself...
"I am waiting for reply from them. I noticed one thing. That the content is not
restored properly...as there are only 13% of space used right..which should be
around 50%."
On 12th I got following reply...I quote...

Load Balancing - What Is Needed
Dec 5, 2007I´m thinking about setting up a load balanced setup. I´ll start with load-balancing MySQL, and after, I´ll go with the webservers. MySQL is currently more important.
I have two different bandwidth providers, with two different networks, in the same datacenter. Pings between both are under 1ms.
I was think about buying 4 servers, two for a MySQL Cluster (NDB), and two for a UltraMonkey Load Balancer setup. The MySQL Cluster API would be installed in another server, currently in use.
So, what else would I need? My intention is to have two servers in one provider, and two servers in another provider. Would this kind of setup require large quantities of bandwidth? Both providers wouldn´t let me pass a diferent cable for this purpose, so I would have to use the uplink.
Also, for webservers, I would only need two more servers, right? Maybe rsync them, and have sessions stored in database would be the best choice?
Thank You
Load Balancing - What Is Needed ...?
Aug 13, 2006I would like to setup a load balancing pair of servers. Currently, I have about 7 servers, all of them working stand alone. I would like to use two of them to host some "power-hungry" websites, that require high availiability. What kind of hardware will I need to do it? I´ve already searched for some, and found load-balancers from F5 which seem to be very good, however they seem to be very expensive (9000 dolars maybe?). Is there any solution which might end cheaper? Will I need anything else?

I contacted Panix.com to enquiry about their $10/month shell account I asked them about getting OpenVPN installed and they replied something like they do not allow it in the shell because it needs a server with a higher spec, which is odd to me.

SolarVPS Vs GoDaddy Reviews Needed
May 2, 2007For the last 3 days i've been trying to select a VPS host, and it seems many of you have quite a few good things to say about SolarVPS...
- BUT -
For the last few days I've tried on numerous occaisions to have an online chat with them before creating an account, but no one is ever available to respond even though their "sales chat" and "emergency chat" shows as being available and online all the time! I've also trying phoning them, but no one answers the calls either.
This makes me question whether they're just trying to create the illusion support is readily available, but its not?
If you're being hosted by SolarVPS - Can you provide me with a "Real" review of their service and what I could expect in terms of support requests.
I've also been looking at GoDaddy's offerings and they seem pretty comparable, so if you presently have a windows VPS account with them, can you tell me if you're satisfied with their service? And how well do they handle support requests there?

Property Insurance Needed For Colo
Sep 24, 2007I'm switching colocation facilities, but the new one requests that we have property insurance on our machines. I'm not quite sure what the reason for this is.I asked some sysadmins and it seems that this is normal practice.
I'm not a company, so getting it seems a little wasteful.
Has anyone had to buy insurance in order to use a colocation facility? Any companies anyone could recommend.

1and1 Hosting Advice Needed For Newbie
Jan 22, 2009I'm looking to host my own website(s), money isnt really an issue, but I'd like some advice on which package would be most suitable. I can't upgrade to different platforms, so I need to get the right package from the start.
I like the sound of the dedicated server, but my experience of supporting servers isn't great, so I'm wary of getting this option.
The VPS looks good, could anyone please tell me how this works? What the difference between thi sand a dedicated server? Do you need alot of server support experience to use this?
Would the normal MS hosting package be suitable? I take it its not very flexible.
Leaving Rackspace, Advice For Layman Needed
Sep 4, 2008After 7 years with Rackspace I have decided to leave for better and cheaper service elsewhere. The final straw (after a couple of years of tolerating increasing prices and decreasing support) was a ridiculous quote from them for adding 1Gb of RAM.
I have read in the Forums about people having similar feelings, and there is advice here about where to go to instead. But I am a *total layman*, needing as many support services as possible (rebooting, backing up, etc.) so that I don't have to worry about anything really. So a lot of the advice here is over my head! Can anyone suggest where I should take my business?
Change Needed To Parked Account MX Forward?
Aug 17, 2006II just transfered domain hosting from my clients old host to my server. The new website is up-and-running without problems. At his request, I use a MX --> A redirect to send his mail to his local server at his business, where he wishes to receive it. It is setup as follows:
Main domain (xyz.net)
MX ->> extmail.xyz.net.
extmail "A" ->> 99.99.999.99 (at the clients local server)
Here is the PROBLEM. The client has a secondary parked account that just directs to the main account. The client has email MX forwarding from that account, which does not seem to be forwarding correctly after this changeover described above --- it is not being delivered.
Question: Do I have to change the MX pointer at the secondary domain to point ->> to extmail.xyz.net? it is currently set to point to mail.xyz.net.
