I got a dedicated server with the following specs:
cpanel with unlimited domains and centos
2 x 750 gb
I want to create seedboxes on the server with 100 gb each. Each having ftp access, vnc access and utorrent with individual ip's assigned to each.
Though 6 of these boxes goes to the co-owners i would like to resell the reaming for which i was advised to install WHMCS.
I am interested to get a seedbox,the hosting companies say they will give like 300 Gb BW.What does that mean?
download + upload BW = 300 Gb?
OR
download BW = 300 Gb and upload BW = 300 Gb
Secondly they have suppose 100Mbps line,how much download and upload speed will i get?
To start I would like to point out that I am expressing my personal opinion and not my company's, although my experience comes from there.
In the last 2-3 months, we noticed an important increase of really hungry customers forcing us to upgrade our infrastructure almost weekly. While this is fun it is also very expensive and requires a lot of prefinancing; something that shouldn't be taken for granted these days. Most of these hungry customers are no doubt seedboxers and they consume an average of 75-85 MBIT/s on a so called unmetered 100 MBIT Port. All of this is fine for me, but I really start wondering what other professionals in this business think of these customers and how they control their bandwidth usage? OVH seems to be pretty clear about this: the more servers you get into your account, the less speed you get per server unless you pay for the pro SLA. I find it interesting, but I doubt that anybody who wants to run a seedbox is actually going to pay a few hundred bucks just to get bandwidth for something that may or may not generate some (legal?) revenue.
Just to ensure those who are following this and might be customers of us: No, we are not going to kick you out! I just want a discussion and get some point of views from others who have been facing the same issue before we actually did.
What VPS Hosting company and what plan do you recommend for the use of a seedbox?
I know many of us use a VPS as a seedbox so don't deny it
I would like to rent a seebox or a dedicated server but I'm not sure. I'm in a private tracker so I need to increase my ratio. I am from the US. I know that with a seedbox you cannot install programs but with a dedicated server you can do almost everything you do in home computer. Is it hard to set up a dedicated server ?

how to build one of these bad boys. While staying under my budget.
I want to build a top of the line SeedBox that can handle 100 users. I need help on what kind of software and hardware I need with prices. I want this to be able to hold a 10Gbits line. (Or 10 1Gbits lines) And security stuff I need like firewall or virus scanner stuff. And Back-Up type stuff like in case of a HD Crash. And how to get 100 different IP addresses.
This is my first review at WHT so I am going to try and keep this as short and simple as possible.
I am reviewing the seedbox service provided by [url]
The various packages can be found at [url]
service=torrentbox
[Excuse the spaces but I need a certain amount of posts before I can post links]
The rating will be provided by looking at the following points,
Speed
Pricing
Support
Speed:
Obtrix started their seedboxes with a 1gbit port, currently they are out of 1gbit(which will be coming soon though) so they use 100mbit ports. The speeds are great, you can expect atleast 2-6mbit download/upload speeds during peak times, off-peak is much faster. You can make sure to seed back more than a 100% before you finish new torrents. The download speed from their ftp server always maxed out my home connection(1mbit). As far as it goes it does not get better than this.
Pricing:
The prices start from 12.25 usd (2.50usd setup + 9.95usd package). The setup fees could be cut down by paying quarterly or semi-annually. Using coupons you can cut down the price even further to test obtrix out. The coupon "onetimetorrent" gives you as much as a 50% one time discount, which gets the price down to 6.23usd. Now 6.23usd for 10GB Hard, 500GB Bandwidth and 3 active torrents, this is the best deal you will ever find. Lets say you are done testing it and go for the cheapest seedbox package by paying semi-annually(40usd), you could use another coupon(seed4life) which gives you a 20% discount for life. This lowers the amount to 32usd for 6 months. So each month costs you a mere 5.33usd. I am pretty sure there is nothing which comes up this far.
Support:
I did not expect much from obtrix for support but I was overwhelmed by their support. I did not receive the login details after I paid so I opened a support ticket and within a few minutes I got a response and the details were sent to me. I had used the one time discount coupon and I was very happy with what I had, so I was going to pay semi-annually. I asked for an opinion and obtrix.net refunded my full payment and my login was still active, I paid the semi-annual amount with the 20% discount coupon and it was almost a steal.
All in all obtrix is the best seedbox I have tested to date, if you are going for one I would suggest obtrix to you for its complete A+ service.
I have a linux VPS in which i believe i only have access to the WHM control panel.
How could i set up VPN so the VPS would connect through the VPN ??
Is there a way to do it through the WHM panel or i will need remote access to the linux interface?
I would like to resell VPS accounts. To be specific, windows remote desktop accounts.
I have a dedicated server, with windows 2003. How do i set this up ?
I am wondering if you can either:
1. Point me to an article you can validate as being accurate; or
2. Explain to me as much as you are willing to the following question:
How would someone setup a CDN to compete with companies like level3/softlayer/peer1 etc..? What kind of software is used? Is there special routing issues to address? I do understand you need *at least* 15-20 nodes before you can offer a "true CDN" and I do understand that they need to be in different locations on the POP's. How do you stream files over the CDN as well? Via RTMP?

to add a new domain name to my hosting account, when I put in the nameservers at namecheap, my new domain resolves to the wrong IP address.
When I contacted my host, they told me I need to contact namecheap and give them the IP address and my namservers names.
I have never had to do this before. Usually I just add a new domain in my WHM and everything works. Right now namecheap is using my hosting companies nameservers, when I try to switch to my name servers namecheap comes back with an error.
I added new zones in the WHM for my name servers, but nothing is working.
What do I need to do to get this working? I have one current domain name that is working and one that is not.
I have already one dedicated server which I use for shared hosting and for my companys site.
I have read something little about managing VPS and can say that I want to use OpenVZ for that but that's all of my knowledge.
1. Howto setup VPS box (openVZ)?
2. Do I need leave free space/resource for "management" or can I use all space/resource for clients. I have my companys site and stuff in different server (as you can read above).
3. VPS box security? Do I need to worrie about that?
4. If I want to offer multiple OS options for clients, is it possible and how that is done?
5. Is there any "VPS control panel" for clients? For reboot, shutdown, re-install OS and such actions?
6. Do I need more IPs than VEs need (one per VE).
I have a dedicated server (windows 2003) with FDC i am new to all this so i need some help trying to set up a ftp so i can conect to the server, how do i go about this? are there any tutorials on this? i have looked on google but no luck. Also i am in spain so is it possible to use the server as a proxy server so i can connect with my computer in Spain to the internet with a US IP?

I've just recieved my copy of Kevin Yanks book "build your own database driven website using php and mysql" and very excitedly installed msql and php last night. As i have IIS i installed that too. Everything so far seems to be going as plan.
But i'm only wanting to use IIS for testing. Since i'm a newbie i'm unsure on some secuity aspects. Is it possible to use IIS for testing only, that is, no possibility of anyone else using it to access my computer?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI initially wanted to set up a VPS because I want to build a web application. The first phase is to set up a development environment, testing environment and production server. For the development environment, I want to set up an SVN server for my code (one reason why I chose a vps instead of a shared server) as well as a bug tracking system. Each environment would be under subdomains, except the production server (development.domain.com, trac.domain.com, testing.domain.com).
My question is what is the best way to utilize my VPS for this type of environment? Should I create a client for each environment? Stick everything under my admin account? I'm sure this is a simple question, but I just want to make my system as organized as possible.
At the minimum, could someone point me in the direction of any resources?
My first post on here! I have just signed up with a VPS, and before I did so, i asked if IMAP was supported, and that was confirmed.
Now, when I try to get it to work, I am told by support that my current mails transport agent (mailEnable) does not support IMAP, and that I should elect not to use mailEnable and configure IMAP with the Microsoft Services.
Now, here I am lost. What do they mean, and how do i proceede Thank you for any input!
