Services.exe 100% CPU Usage
May 18, 2007
I have a Gbit server, Windows 2003 as the OS.
The server is primarily an FTP server, however once or twice a week I use it as a HTTP server as well.
During both FTP and HTTP usage the bandwidth usage is between 80-150 Mbits. However the server just becomes unstable if too much bandwidth is pushed out.
CPU usage is normally below 10% However when the server becomes unstable services.exe maxes out one CPU core. when that happens the server can barely push out 1-2 Mbits.
There are no blue screens or error reports, the only thing that is affected is the network side of things.
Initially I thought it was a problem with IIS, so I tried Apache instead but same problem. Even without the FTP server, if traffic goes too high with HTTP the server just crumbles.
Specs are as follows :
Core2duo 1.86 Ghz
2 GB RAM (Nearly always 1 GB free)
Windows 2003 Ent Edition

I own around 50 domains.
for the Past 5 years I've been using a VPS with cPanel to point an A record to the IP instead of using the other (shared, resseller and other VPS) IPs or public DNS.
I'm looking for a similar service, that can provide:
- my own DNS (or the hability to point my DNS to the IP)
- can add A, PTR, rDNS records
- less than 20$ month for 50 domains
Anyone know a service like that that recommend?

I've purchased a NL Master reseller (about to purchase one in the US) and then a small VPS to see what more I could do, after transferring my site over to the VPS from the NL server I thought I'd come up with the idea with selling master reseller accounts, (both from NL and US master reseller services) the reason I came up with is because the VPS isn't to large to really do anything but seems perfect to keep a database, payment portal, WHMCS, my site, and hopefully all of my client information. What i want to do is somehow connect all 3 together so that when i do create a new client in LxAdmin I can select witch server I want to create it on and what package/permissions and what not, all from the VPS.
Example: LxAdmin -> create client -> fills out form basically similar that to the one in WHM
Resellers/VPS run CentOS Linux
WHM: 11.24.2
cPanel: 11.24.4-R35075
CENTOS 5.2 i686 virtuozzo
So basic question, is all this possible ? this including domains/email/ftp/ect.

I wanted to know if there is a provider that will host our sites and provide site maintence all in one package(EX: any changes we want to the website they can do it). We are trying to move away from having multiple hosts and resellers from our multiple sites for our hosting and site maintenance. Alot of companies out there just do the hosting and suggest to get a third party to provide the site maintenance. Basically we want the ability to change anything on our website but have someone who knows what they are doing and do it for us and not take forever to implement changes to the website.

I am switching from shared hosting to managed VPS. I have minimal knowledge of UNIX/Apache, pretty good with PHP and programming in general.
So, what I have now is my VPS, with 512mb of ram, CentOS, cpanel and my two sites, not live yet, that is, I haven't changed dns records in the registrar.
I want to try to optimize the box or whatever is the correct name for it and understand the whole thing better. Mainly to learn more, I dot' think I'll be pressed for memory or bandwidth for now. Still, at least knowing things I can optimize for speed of space.
Few things that I assume should allow for some simplification and RAM savings(hopefully) is that:
a) Both sites are hobby sites, not very big load. Few thousand visitors a day. Traffic is around 10gb monthly combined.
b) Both sites are mine, nobody else on that box, so I don't have to worry about customers screwing things up and caging things internally.
Based on that, I don't really need email for the second site domain.
When I run top command I see 2 exim processes running. Is that normal, or is it because I have 2 domains registered there? And if yes can one be disabled?
Same applies to pop3-login and imap-login processes, 2 copies of each. Can I have just one of each, i.e. exim, pop3-login and imap-login?
Next, I selected not to run log analyzer cpanellogd for 21 hours, i.e. it'll run for 3 hours a day. I assume that should be sufficient for the site like mine?
I did read sticky about securing the site and quite a bit about Apache/mysql optimizations.

I am having trouble accessing any kind of services on one computer from another computer on my LAN.
I can ping toher computers and access windows file sharing but if I run any kind of server like apache or Dorgem(webcam) I can't access it from any other computer on the LAN..I've tried changing the ports etc but to no avail..
I am not the amin of this network but is there anything else I can do on my end to get things working..?
Is this a common occurence, for admins to stop this traffic?

what free DNS hosting service to use? So far I have had experience with the following services:
Xname.org - fine, admin-wise kind of DNS zone management. Con: it is relatively often offline (DoS/whatever0
EditDns.net - fine, but it has several times rolled abck their DB state, wiping out my records. I can't name that a rliable service.
EveryDns.net - fine, quick, easy to manage. Con: I have tried to donate, to have limits removed, but my donation was never recorded, all the attempts to contact the administration failed, as well.

This kinda follows on from a prev thread about advice on finding another isp.
My (soon to be ex) isp had email outage for over 3 days, I lost emails which means losing business and I don't want to be in this situation ever again.
I know that stuff happens and machines do go down etc. but I need to know how if possible a decent isp would be able to work around this, should they have a standby server, could they intercept/redirect incoming emails even though the account was down.
I'm not very technical but these are the questions I need to ask any prospective isp's

Every month, I pay my invoice and everything is fine but in Febuary, after I paid it, I received a ''Payment reminder'' and I was a bit surprised but I replied explaining it was already paid and gave the paypal transaction ID #. I received an apology and they said it was fixed. A week later (or so), I received the a ''reminder #2''. I replied the same thing and the girl at the billing service aplogied and assured me that the invoice was now marked as paid and it shouldn't happen anymore.
This morning I got a ''Last reminder'' (15 days overdue). I sent the same informations again but now my website is disabled.
Am I alone in this situation or is it a known issue with Flux services or anything? I find a bit ridiculous, to be honest, to have a such issue about an invoice that IS paid and confirmed by them as paid but having the system send me reminder over and over and having, subsequently, them disabling my website.

I am interested in blocking translation services from accessing my site, such as Google Translate and Yahoo Babelfish.
Google's translation tool adheres to a nice meta tag, so that's taken care of, but Yahoo doesn't appear to do so. The way they work is akin to a proxy, using the IP address of the user, and they don't use a standard referrer, so I can't do a referrer or IP block.

I'm setting up clientexec for my hosting service and was wondering if "services" are necessary for auto billing. Services are located under Admin/plugins/services. As of right now, I recieve the following error:
"NOTICE: Crontab is not available in your system or you don't have permission to use it. Therefore, you must enable the plugins you wish to use, and manually enter through your hosting control panel its correspondent cron job."
If they are not necessary for clientexec to bill my customers then I will not use them. I'm running cpanel 11.11.0-STABLE. I hope one of you has some info regarding my situation.

What is the best way to get notified if a service has issues. I know I get emails from cpanel if a service fails, but for some reason for mail, it shows ipmap/pop is up but email is not being delivered.
I usually reset IMAP Server, Mail Server (Exim) and POP3 Server then everything seems to kick in and any undelivered mail gets delivered.
What logs can i check so find the issues, and also is the some type of listener i can use to notify me when there are issues with the mail server?

Can anyone recommend hosted DNS services that they've used? Just looking for something to use with about three dozen low-traffic domains.
EasyDNS wants something like $300-$600 which is a completely different level of service than I'm looking for. I just want something modest for personal use.

I've visited their web site (aws.amazon.com), but it seems kind of vague to me. Is AWS the same as S3? (which one does web hosting?) You can host web sites on Amazon's service, right? Do you get the usual stuff? (mySQL, PHP, etc) Do they offer SFTP? Shell access?
Man, I feel like they need a FAQ or a list of features. How come none of these things are mentioned on their site?

I'm currently using ipower, which just switched to fewer but larger servers. The impact for me is a new throttle in download speed, which is about 350KB/sec (although I can do FTP downloads when logged in at 500KB/sec. Previously, with the more but smaller servers, you just got a share of what was available on the server with no throttle, and when activity was low on a server, it was enough to max out my cable's limitation of about 1.5MB/sec (12 mega-bits / second).
It seems that few web hosting sites will specify typical download speeds from a web hosting account. I'm hoping that members here could report what they are getting from various web hosting services.
My web site is
jeffareid.net
A "hobby" web site, mostly videos from car racing games, just niche market enough to not attract excessive traffic.

i wanted to thank this forum for helping me find a great host.
I signed up with apnic services free account and I was a little unsure as to whether or not it would even be set up as it was free. I think they are a new company i couldnt find any reviews of them anywhere but saw them in the hosting catalog and as it was free i thought i'd give it a go.
response was very fast, account setup was very fast, and my only charge was £5 to register a new domain name. i've got my shared ssl working, email account is set up and now i have to build my website to upload. speeds also seem to be good

I was wondering if it's feasible to run a VPS/Dedi server entirely on lightweight alternatives. I.e:
nginx/lighty/litespeed instead of apache
php/fastcgi or php-litespeed instead of mod_php
tinydns instead of bind
and so on...
Is it a viable solution? Is anyone running their hosts on these alt servers? What is your experience?
I'm specially interested in nginx (lighty has been accused of leaking memory, and litespeed std is feature-limited). What's your verdict on running it as a stand-alone server for php-fastcgi and static contents?

leave LayeredTech completely, including Dynavol.
My new host I've chosen doesn't have backup services, but no big deal. I'd like to know what people out there use (Company and Specific Services) for off site backup of their servers.
I can either do push or pull. I liked how Dynavol worked. I guess if that's the best option I could keep LT strictly for Dynavol, but looking to see what others think.

I have security concerns with my current hosting of eCommerce sites. The hosts responses to my specific concerns are vague and unsatisfactory. Even when anomalies are pointed out, ( i.e A traffic domain was suddenly pointing to an IP on a server in another country) they return answers like, "Yes, there was a problem, but its all fine now."
I have considered moving to a new host, however, for price reasons, I like my current host.
This has caused me to consider having the security of my server checked and perhaps managed by a third party.
I have no experience with choosing such a service, and research so far has raised more concerns than answers as to how and what may happen by requesting the use of such a service, the reputability of said service providers, and the costs of implementing the recommendations etc.
My main concern is to do with Mysql database manipulation and DNS manipulation within the network. However, a general server vulnerability assessment would be assumed beneficial.

Here is the story
Their TOS states:
"If at any time during the first 30 days of hosting, starting on the day the order was initially accepted the customer notifies Sbc-Services.com that it is dissatisfied with Sbc-Services.com's hosting services and wants Sbc-Services.com to terminate such hosting services, Sbc-Services.com will forthwith terminate its hosting services and will refund 100% of all Hosting fees paid by the customer to Sbc-Services.com. This "fee" refund does not include; setup, domain name registration, excessive bandwidth, and/or termination fee.
All Refunds will be made to the credit card the initial charge was made on. To obtain a refund simply send an e-mail to info@Sbc-Services.com from the e-mail account you opened the account with (for security purposes), requesting a cancellation of service. Please provide your account number, and domain name(s). If you have any questions about the cancellation process, please e-mail us at info@sbc-services.com"

- Not happy with their server speed, sent them an email asking for refund.
- Got a very "polite" email from potato seller:
Quote:
Refund your money?
Do you think we sell potatoes here?
No money will be refunded as you have a dedicated server.
- I showed them their TOS as they do not state clearly the refund is only for "shared" hosting, not "dedicated" hosting
- Now they are threatening me with this
Quote:
This is for shared hosting only.
Dedicated servers are non refundable.
We cant just setup a server for you and few days later we have to take it off the line
Dedicated servers are minimum contract 3 months.
Failure to pay, your details will be passed to the relevant recovery agencies.
- Also nothing about the minimum contract thingy from anywhere of their website.
I think I've fallen into their trap, not only I cannot get 30 days money back guarantee, but also have to stick to their minimum contract of 3 months which you will only find out when you want to cancel your service with them. This is way too bad to be true.
