My main website is a dating/magazine/community site.
I use server ONE for as my main server for:
nameserver
mail
apache - php
mysql
This server uses FreeBSD with CPanel/WHM
Server ONE load averages are about 1-1.5
A year ago I got another server (server TWO) to host a php chat script, and unload the main server. This server hasn't a domain attached to it and I'm using it through its IP.
This server runs:
apache - php
mysql
And it also uses FreeBSD but with Webmin.
The load averages for Server TWO are about 0.20.
Recently I transfered all the images of Server ONE to server TWO, with a good result for loads on server ONE.
What I want to doSome users of the site complain that they can't see any images of the site due to IP based images src.
So I want to set up a redirection so images.example.com to redirect transparently to the other server.
When I tried to setup a subdomain redirection through Cpanel, I just got again the IP of the other server.
Who can this be done?
If I must setup DNS stuff in server TWO, in order to achive it, can I use it also as spare nameservers for the domains hosted on Server ONE?
What else is easy to transfer to server TWO in order to unload server ONE?
I'm a network admin at a university and one of the departments is hosting their site on their own personal server running Server 2003 and Windows Web services. They've been asking me how would they go about mirroring their site in the event of a power loss intentional or otherwise. There are times during holiday periods where building maintenance will shut off power but they still want students to be able to get to their site. So they want to set up a mirror on another server in an office offsite.
I've done some research on the subject but I haven't been able to find anything dealing with mirroring Microsoft hosted sites.
I'm planning host multiple game servers on a single machine. I'm going to configure my own machine for this purpose. I'm uncertain on how powerful should I build my machine.
I'm going to host resource demanding games like Battlefield 2 and Armed Assault. Both of the mentioned games has a dedicated server application that requires roughly 2ghz of CPU power and 1GB to 2GB of RAM (depending on connected users) to run on.
Base on the above requirements, I'm going to put together a machine with 2 dual core Opteron or Xeon running at 2ghz and 8GB of RAM. The machine is going run 4 virtual servers with the game server application running on them. My configuration uses basic division to calculated the required CPU and RAM on my custom configured machine. Is this a practical approach?
Has anyone tried anything similar with xen? I'm worry about any performance impact that might happen due to overhead or shared cpu & ram cycle latency as game server demands real time performance.
I'm though about doing this because it's cheaper to rent a 1U rack space running 4 game servers than renting 4Us for the same purpose. Care to share experience or thoughts on this subject?
Over ethernet, maybe using iSCSI? Couldn't one machine have all the other machines mounted on it as another device via iSCSI and then add them to its local zpool? Is there a better way of doing this, where one machine isn't such a bottle neck, assuming that this can be done at all? I hope this makes sense..
I am having a site developed that will have a "front end" - ie the actual website with a login members area etc. The "back end" will be a set of scripts that work behind the scenes, including a bot that visits other sites and passes info to those sites.
The concern I have is, if I put the whole lot on one Cpanel, and then it gets whacked by a surge of traffic etc, the "back end" will crash as well.
My question is, would it be better to host the site itself on one cpanel account, but store the Db and the back end scripts on another cpanel, both on the same server. Then even if the site cpanel maxes out or crashes, the processes will continue to run? The site itself would also need to access the Db stored on the second cpanel.
going to be starting a file hosting site, i know that the main problem on these sort of sites for the owners is Bandwith and HD space. Just want to know some perhaps some advice on how to run this kind of business as far as the hosting part of it goes.
Do i just keep purchasing servers lets say at midphase for example they offer 10TB 250 Gigs of hdspace at 200 a month, so if i go over do i just keep purchasing servers and then load balance the site across all the servers i get? is that the basics ?
When sites start to consume massive amounts of bandwidth is their cheaper alternatives then just going with the normal BW that hosts offer, like working out deals with certain companies that specialize in giving BW deals, would CDN networks be an option?
I can access FTP, SSH and httpd is showed as running when i check with 'httpd status'. Memory ram has half of them left(except that swap is 0,0).
I can't access my site via browser
Why tried restarting [root@web2 ~]# service httpd start Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs [FAILED] [root@web2 ~]#
I have always had cpanel reseller hosting accounts and am familiar with WHM. However I need to spread my sites out a bit and am noticing that multiple hosting is a fair bit cheaper than reseller. I don't host for others so dont really need reseller but am used to whm.
My question is how does multiple site hosting work? As I understand it you just have one logon with one ftp account. How do you upload and seperate/configure your sites? and can I still use .htaccess files for redirects?
to create several 'small' sites, but I would ideally like to host all of these domains within one account. Is the only really way to do this is to have my own server or is there another way this can be achieved. I have seen loads of PHP based accounts where you can host multiple sites but I can't see any decent asp.net based accounts.
By hosting small sites I mean each site needs to be able to have its own domain name, email per site.
Would it be possible to split website components transparently across 2 servers and make it look like a single site? For example: run a forum on ServerA and a wiki on ServerB, but with the same base URL? Doing this will allow me to buy smaller servers instead of a single huge server.
My forum is becoming more and more active and i would like to know how to setup a website on two servers. Ive seen many sites using www0.example.com and www1.example.com. Is this difficult to do?
Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.
I currently have one dedicated server and four VPSs all using Plesk and all having their own name servers controlled by Plesk. What I'd like to do is consolidate everything so all my sites use one set of name servers.
I'm a PHP developer (and will be developing my own front end), and only have limited knowledge of administrating a server, so first of all if anyone has done this before and made mistakes in the process, please could you share them with me so I can avoid making them?
Secondly, I would like to use a MySQL database for storing the DNS info - I've found a tutorial at [url]which I'd like to use - could someone who knows what they're talking about have a skim through this and reassure me that everything there is correct and up to date (the article was written in early 2006 - just checking nothing in the world of DNS has changed since)?
I've a production server running web,smtp, ftp, cpanel...
Now I need to run different solutions on the same server (like PABX, games), of course I can't put all on the same place (to better control security, resource usage etc..) Is it possible to install xen without affecting my production environment? It would be a good choice doing that?
I want to start up my web server again. I have Windows XP hosting my web server right now. and, it's slow. Should i stick with Windows, run IIS and use httpZip from Port80? I really like microsoft, and don't want to change and adapt to something else. give me advice
Or, should I run Linux I would run Linux on it, but I don't know how. And they have different version of Linux. Example Redhat, Ubuntu etc. Which one should I go for?
Also, what do I do if I have a netgear ethernet card? Is that Linux? Is it compaitable with Redhat?
And last question, what do I use for security? I'm a hacker, yeah.. I know what all people can do to websites. How do I stop them? DoSing, Cross Scripting, XML Attacks, MySql Injection.. Etc.
why not just setup my own server. I have the connection and hardware necessary. So I am wondering why do people pay for web hosting? Why not just run your own website from your own server?
setting up a server running ZFS as a backup server. My only problem is that it's very new to me, and naturally I'm skeptical of it's redundancy capabilities etc, I don't want to get burned. Anyone used ZFS, what's your experience with it?
I'm a flight Sim Buffer, I use Microsoft flight simulator X Delux, I also have real flying hours under my belt too.
My Question is, what would I need to have FSX running 365 days of the year with upto 100 Connections at all times from it, plus teamSpeak?
Should I Rent a gaming server and allow my costs to increase, which taking into account I have three children, would be quite hard? Or is there a Gaming server service that I can use?
Any help would be great, also I picked this topic, and I'm quite new for posting, so do forgive me for posting in the wrong topic if thats the case.
1) What does it take to run your own DNS server? 2) How to determine server specs? 3) Where to locate? 4) Do you need multiple server? 5) How do you manage DNS entries on the server? 6) Is there commercial software to do this? I've heard of PowerDNS.
i hosted 1 wesite ( forum script with no plugins )
when my traffic consuption reache to 25mbs the server running very slow for hours although the load avarage is very normal 1-2 Iowait 3% ram consumption 8-10Gb
my uplink port 1Gb and of course my DC said the connection is normal with no limitation
the server specs are good Quad procs 7200 ,16Gb ram ,15K SCSI speed
can someone here help me setup/configure exchange server? I really have no idea but interested in doing so on my dedicated server.
I just want to know how to say, setup email accounts/web access.
Right now, just installed WS2003 EE R2 with updates and installing other things too like SQL Server 2005/AV/ISA Server
I take it I need to make the machine into a domain?
I have 2 IP Addresses assigned to me. and I have 2 domains, so I'm thinking about configuring each domain for an IP Address.
I would ideally like to have email addresses for both domains but going to test it on 1 domain first before proceeding onwards.
It would be appreciated if someone could just jot down on how to go about setting up Exchange, how to configure it...and pretty much it. I will be using Exchange 2003 Enterprise
In the future I'm thinking of running a web server from my residential house.
I currently have rogers cable , but they do not allow you to run a server from their residential internet connection.
Does anyone run a server from their house? What kind of internet connection do you have?
I'm guessing most people don't do this because they find out it cost way to much to get a special connection ran to their house. Colocation might be the only way to go.
im going to be setting up a basic linux server in my home to host a small family website, i plan to use centos or debian, but was wondering what other things would i need to get my server online,
If i want to run e-mail server on my machine are those thing all that i need:
1) Separate machine running Linux + UPS
2) Internet connection - ADSL/WiFi (what is minimal acceptable down/up speed for running server normally?)
3) Domain name + one or two static IP addresses acquired form my ISP
4) Email server and webmail software
5) One man that know everything about server security and settings.
Why i want to run server at my home is because i have two spear machines with lot of HD space which can be perfect for this use. Only problem could be internet connection... Is ADSL good enough for me?
Also target public for my E-mail service will be 99% from my country (so ping should be lower than other commercial VPS from USA...)
But still i would like to hear opinions from people that know much more about this topic than me. So what do you think is VPS better soultion than hosting server at home?
