After migrating to a larger setup, I'm left me with with four large servers (specs are listed below) that I don't have any use for. I would like sell VPS hosting on it, and let the support/payments/whatever be handled through my friend's hosting company. I have been crunching some numbers, and finally came up with some prices/offers, but I am unsure if the CPUs can sustain the number of clients. Let me know what you think.
Also, if you could tell me what most VPS users are mainly looking for, it would help a bunch in configuring offers.
I am thinking about launching an all in one hosting company but the only problem I have is I don't know what I need to have hardware and software wise to start hosting dedicated servers. My servers will go into a data center in Tampa FL.
what I need to be able to host dedicated servers. For example how to I do a network installation of linux and things like that.
Are there companies out there that we can purchase IP's from? We might be moving data centers in 6 months and I am sick of asking my customers to always change their IP's every year.
Are there companies that we can purchase an IP block from and then carry those over to different data centers?
I am looking for something like a /26.
We currently have (2) /27's with our data center right now, but I would prefer a single /26 to keep all our IP's in the same range.
I've looked at trying to get them from ARIN, but the minimum they want to sell is a /22.
Also, how easy is it for data centers to announce your own IP space?
I have about a year left on my contract with Lunarpages and would like to sell it (at a discount to what I paid for it). Where's the best place to post this kind of thing?
I have moved away from using modernbill, and have a licesnse to owned mb 250, i was wondering if MB allows the transfer of their licenses, Its just to overwhelming for us and even after renewing the 6mnths support period on it just cant get it going how i want it.
I have order 2 servers from ftp at October 12 2008, both are setup at same time!
At October 13, the general support tell me that server have been hacked? I haven't start using both servers, why them are been hacked? they said the problem is sloved... so ok...
I got plesk installed on both server, but both server ftp not working. the ftp module is installed but i cannot connect from anywhere on the work!
I create 4 new ticket to sales, general support and billing, but no one want slove the problem, they reply me like this:
""We offer only the default OS installs.
The helpdesk does not provide support in configuration of any software packages. You may however contact our managed services department at help@fdcservers.net for a price/availability quote. If you would like us to move your ticket to their department, please let us know.""
the server is setup error and got hacker attack it, they just leave it without doing anything, what should i do?
I already write a ticket to cancel servers, but until now no response!
I just want you guy to know, If alphared don't have problems, i will still stay with them! I will never use FDCservers any more!
I'm just curious to how many accounts one can create on a server
And have them all in use without going over the server limits.
Create 100 listener accounts / 96kpbs Autodj features 1 gig of storage to uploaded audio files
How much bandwidth would you allow each account? It's very hard to judge, considering any of them could be running audio files off their hosting 24/7 Or live broadcasting 24/7 It's possible they might be in use this much, or not.
I'm looking for a solution not too pricey where we can create a lot of unhosted and hosted shoutcast radio accounts for users.
I've been looking at different packages to get ideas dule core, 2 gig ram, 400 gig hard drives Unmetered bandwidth, anything that is linux is good; so centos opperating system I'd need support like msn support
But im building a better picture now and i feel these accounts should be ready for some potential clients.
I would have thought at the start i could create a few 100 decent sized shoutcast plans with hosting etc on one server.
Lets just say i can't afford to fork out 200 per month and not know exactly what i have to do to provide these accounts.
But i feel they will sell or i wouldn't waste my time with the idea.
If the service is decent i think i'll have a lot of intrest.
What software is recomended for sell VPS under Linux, im using OpenVZ but I need something mor easy for manage because we don't want to put commands and create scripts for every VPS creation. Also, what hardware is recomended?

how can they sell UNLIMITED ALPHA MASTER RESELLER to others?
Is that true that they are your customer?
All I know is, You do not sell unlimited space at limestonenetworks.com.
Are those sites cheaters or are the illegal? I did not find a specific or complete postal address or person name on those sites.
Last week my brother puchased a CD which promised contains thousands of unique templates through [url]
He sell it locally for Indonesia market and leave no contact info.
He showed me and I'm surprised that what did guy did is copied from all sources included templatesmonster.com majority which is available alot of through the net (example: [url]burn it into CD and sell it illegaly.
I reported the site to hostgator.com and got the followin reply: ---------------------------------------------
Hello,
Since there are no templates on the site, you will need to provide evidence of this some how.

I'm not trying to bash HG, but I need your opinion: is the HG respond is already correct?
So learn from the same thing, if I set a website sell cracked properties and only delivery the product through CD or email (not downloadble one) I can host it with HG as long as no offensive files in their server? Or in this case HG just ignore it because could not understand Indonesia languange?
I have a lot of questions here so if you can't answer them all I understand. even pointing me somewhere where I could get the answers would be appreciated; hardware sites focusing on server hardware, forums focusing on such, etc.
we plan to have three different types of servers:
- db server (self explanatory. mysql. for forums, mysql driven sites.)
- file server (lots of files around ~2-10MB, consistant 70mbps right now, but we want more room for upgrades. needs a LOT of storage room.)
- web server (lots of php files, but also static things like plain html, images, etc. also includes all misc services for the setup-- dns, etc.)
could I be given a rundown for which hardware each of the three should have? I don't need specifics, even just knowing that more ram is important here while cpu doesn't matter as much, or that the fastest disks available are a must, etc would all be valuable info for me. despite that, I certainly wouldn't mind specific hypothetical hardware configs.
for the database server I'm assuming the more ram the better. not entirely sure about the cpu? also not positive on disks...
for the fileserver, how much ram would be practical or useful? disk io will be an issue I'm because plenty of people will be pulling files at once so the disk needs to read from multiple places. scsi (and even raptors) are not an option as we need 750GB+ of space on a reasonable budget. more ram will take some load of of the disks, but how much is neccessary / reasonable?
for the web server I'm assuming cpu first, then ram, but it'll likely need less ram than the db server?
I'm more lost on the disks than anything. scsi on the fileserver is not an option under any circumstances due to $/GB. for the db & web server I'm willing to pay for scsi if the performance increase really does warrant the extra money, but I'd like to be convinced before shelling it out. if you have benchmarks geared at server hardware when it comes to disks I'd really appreciate it.
also, what's the best way to network these together when colocated? each one with a dual gigabit ethernet port and then the communications go to and from the router?
I was wondering if it is possible to cluster 2 web servers and 2 mysql servers with only one server working as load balancer.
I am planning to use LVS (ldirectord and heartbeat).
Let's say I have 3 IPs allocated to the load balancing server.
111.222.111.222 (Main IP) 111.222.111.223 (Web Load Balancing IP) 111.222.111.224 (MySQL Load Balancing IP) If a connection is made to .223 it would pass the request to one of the web nodes. If a connection is made to .224 it would pass the request to one of the MySQL nodes.
Is it possible to do this?
If not, can I run, for example, nginx on 223 IP address to provide forward proxy? (Then it would not be able to HA but the main point is to load balance so)
Also, what would be the best way to keep the data same on both web servers? This is a web cluster for a very high traffic forum with a lot of uploads every hour so it has to do real time synchronization. I heard that DRDB is only one way and not two way so I'm not going to be able to use this.
I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.
I have recently purchased new hosting with a new supplier which uses a different kind of control panel - cpanel. So before I transfer our organisations website across I want to spend some time playing.
We purchased our domains with 123 reg and the host we have been using for a while is namesco our new hosting package is with neither of these suppliers.
Before I transfer our primary domain to the new host I'm doing a dummy run with one of our other domains and that's where i've come up with this name servers question.
The new host gave me the name of their 2 name servers.
But when I went to my control panel at 123 reg to change the name servers they were not using namesco name servers they were using 123's.
Do I want to change the name servers to the new name servers or not? I'm a bit confused as i was expecting to see namesco names servers?
Is that possible to have ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com
Two differnet severs that means each having two different IPS? If so how?
the reason I ask is that I see a lot of hosting companies have thousands of users and many severs but they all ask their customers to point only to two name server ns1 and ns2
Say you are renting 2 (or more) dedicated web servers. How do you go about getting it so that www.yourdomain.com goes to one of the web servers? Do you need a 3rd server to redirect the request, or what?
if anyone had a recommendation on where to buy a decent used server (Just for DNS Purposes). Anywhere other than ebay? Anywhere local in the Greater Seattle/Everett/Tacoma, WA Area?
Cannot see my servers from office but sites are up and running. Servers are at AtlantaNap. Maybe weather?

Does anyone know of an FTP client that lets you transfer files directly between one server and another (to avoid downloading/uploading)? Preferably that runs on Linux!
what exactly are the benefits of using such RAMs which cost about double of the normal desktop RAMs? not to mention the extra costs incurred for special motherboards?
