Slow VPS - Disk Record For Review

Apr 30, 2007

Recently, my access to my server is very slow. I am on a VPS with 2 Quad E5320 processors and with Softlayer datacenter. I have been monitoring ping latency and it is acceptable at 50ms monitored every 10 minutes for several weeks.

Below is a record of the server memory I got from CPanel WHM. Can you help interpret what these numbers mean and how this affects the performance of the server?

Code:

Current Memory Usage

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 12453608 12361356 92252 0 25724 3161160
-/+ buffers/cache: 9174472 3279136
Swap: 16779884 1238076 15541808
Total: 29233492 13599432 15634060

I would like to send a feedback to the webhost provider and this will help me back it up with data.

3ware Raid1 + Xen = Slow Disk Access

Jan 29, 2007

I have configured a Xen setup on a dual xeon system with a 3ware 8506 2 ports sata controller.

Array is configured in raid1 and I am using LVM.

I get really slow accesses on the virtual machines, when I create a big ext3 system, the system is nearly freezing.

Disk Writes Extremely Slow On SATA RAID

Jan 10, 2008

I'm running into a problem with a relatively new (2 months old) server. I have just a few accounts on it, and I'm already noticing unusual loads, for the... load. After some benchmarking with bonnie++ (and plain old "dd") there is clearly a problem.

Version 1.03b ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random-
-Per Chr- --Block-- -Rewrite- -Per Chr- --Block-- --Seeks--
Machine Size K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP K/sec %CP /sec %CP
SERVER NAME 2G 9096 16 7725 2 2543 0 20609 32 621627 55 +++++ +++

Isn't a write-speed over 7MB/s reasonable to expect? Also look at the low CPU times...

Anyway running the same test on a similar but older AND busier server showed much better results than this. In fact dd'ing a 1GB file from /dev/zero "finished" in about 10 seconds but then pegged the server at 99% iowait (wa) for a full three minutes (until done being written from cache I assume), bringing load to 15.00

That's all the info I have so far... the data center just replaced the card (which gave no errors) with no effect. Running these benchmark tests is about the extend of my hardware experience.

Santrex Review :: Staff Slow At Understanding

Oct 10, 2009

A month back i signed up for reseller hosting with santrex, earlier I've had a VPS since a couple of months which i regularly pay for.

The reseller account was however not according to my expectations as i did not get required amount of support as i should have got.

I did not wish to continue with the Reseller account so i simply did not bother to pay the due RESELLER invoice, however i paid the VPS invoice, BUT my VPS account got banned and the reseller went on being active.

What sort of stupidness would you guys call this? Carelessness or slow at understanding? This kind of services can never be expected from a well known host.

I've liked their services, but i must say after this i am really disappointed.

Here's a screen to show things better :

DMEHosting.com Review - Terrible, Slow, Unreasonable, Rude - Not Recommended

Sep 9, 2008

I have been a customer with www.DMEHosting.com for over two months now. They were an ok server provider/host at first but I am now forced to leave.

The server setup is advertised as under 72 hours. My first server took just a few hours under that and my second one actually took longer. I also heard a report that a rapid deploy server (they say 1 hour or less) took over 24 hours to set up.

I have had a bit of downtime, and support is slow since the host is run by one person (David). This means that emails can take 24 hours to get a reply, live chat is only available for a few hours a day and there is no phone support which is a big minus for me in terms of hosting.

I purchase a server for my client who uses it to host proxies. Several times I have gotten reports of malware/spam/some other type of abuse. Each time this happens they send absolutely no details (except server name) and when I ask for more I get no reply and no help in sorting out the possible security problems.

The incredibly horrible bit started around the 7th of September. My main server was down and I had no details or anything from DMEhosting. I sent an email to their support team and a long 3 hours later I got an email back saying I was suspended for non-payment. I found this strange because I had received no emails, notices or invoices that month for the server. They claim to have tried to contact me, but I see no efforts at all.

So they eventually unsuspended my server and then I got an invoice overdue notice (even though I never got any "invoice due" notices. I then tried to pay the invoice, but their paypal system either half the time gives me an error that I need to add a credit card (I have one in my paypal already) or just doesn't let me pay.

I tried explaining their payment problems to them in live chat but they say since no one else is having problems they won't do anything (either they assume I am a complete idiot or I am making it up). This is disgraceful, if I contact a host saying that I can't pay because something is wrong with their system then they should at least take a look. They then terminated the live chat right in the middle of us talking (yes, they/David (one man show) are very rude).

Then, to my horror I got an email saying that no payment had been received and my server was suspended. Even though I told them several times by email and chat that their payment system doesn't work.

They then claim that I am being "very rude and and inconsiderate" and that essentially it is all my fault. They say my invoice is overdue and I still won't (I will, but I can't and they won't listen) pay so they are going to keep my server down.

Essentially the owner of this terrible host, David (he is also the support, billing, everything) is an incredibly rude person and he has no respect or desire to help his clients. I have faced serious amounts of downtime, slow support and now rude, horrible and downright stupid responses from support.

I advise you to steer well clear of this terrible host, they may be cheap but you are just asking for trouble.

VPS Incredibly Slow, Huge Numbers Of Slow MySQL Queries For Plesk/Watchdog

Nov 11, 2008

I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.

I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.

But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache

INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);

80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?

Disk Image To Disk Partition (Xen)

Sep 1, 2008

can a Xen disk image be converted to a diskpartition?

Someone is asking whether I can host his disk image at his current host, which he is leaving for poor I/O (wonder why that would be ). I can host a diskimage, but I don't like diskimages (slow, and 100GB isn't very 'comfortable' either). Is there any way out there to convert a disk image into a normal partition?

A Record

Mar 30, 2009

i have a simple reseller account to give my clients some hosting space. one specific client keeps the domain registered with his current domain registrar. to point the domain name at his new hosting account (provided by me) he's saying that he just needs the "a-record", not the nameservers that i gave him originally. i can not seem to find an a-record for my hosting accounts anywhere ...

my hosting support is saying the client will just need the IP address. but afaik ip address is not == a-record

can anyone clarify what an a-record is exactly and whether or not it can be interchanged with an ip address?

this is for a .co.uk domain name and my reseller account is with hostgator

SPF Record

Oct 30, 2009

Common scenario; email sent from our server to Yahoo does not arrive. It is so bad that we have a 23% order completion rate for Yahoo users. To compare, Gmail is 83%.

We send emails to confirm registration, and also to remind users to complete their invoices.

Our setup is like so:

User registers at registration.domain.com, a different server to domain.com.

Upon registering an email is sent to the user using the registration.domain.com web server but with a from address of info@domain.com

Our info@domain.com email address is hooked up to Google Apps as this is who we use to manage our inbox.

how to construct our SPF records? I am slightly confused as we have a mail server, a different reply to domain and MX records with Google..

SPF Record

Dec 6, 2008

I would like to setup SPF record for my domain. I am using Google Apps for the domain.

But I will also be sending mail from my vps server. Hence what should I use?

Quote:

v=spf1 a include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all

or

Quote:

v=spf1 a mx ~all

If both works, which one is better? I will be sending emails from subdomains of my main site too, so do I need to anything special for that?

I am using ~all instead of -all, because I sometimes send emails from my development server(which is having dynamic ip). Hence I don't want those emails to rejected, even if they are marked as spam.[url]

If my SPF record would be the following: domain.com. 14400 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:78.129.143.155 a mx a:.mail.saunalahti.fi -all"

Would mail sent from whatever@domain.com get sent through gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi (Would the SPF record allow it?) or would I have to specify a:gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi in the SPF record?

SPF Record

Jul 25, 2007

how to add an SPF record to my web hosting company's domain? The thing I'm scared of is blocking or messing up what works fine now.

My server (say myhostingcompany.com) is a mix of all kinds of services, some customers send mail through my server, some through they're ISP (so they're domain's DNS is with me) and all kinds of strange things.

How can I add a "risk free" SPF record?

WHM Keep On Asking For A Record For Hostname

Apr 5, 2009

Here are the scenarios :

1. This Dedicated Server don't have main domain name but I use something like hostname.domain.com for the hostname.

2. The nameservers I use are something like ns21.domain.com and ns22.domain.com which I registered it already on my domain registrar.

3. Domain.com is use on other Dedicated server

Are these kind of setup okay? or should I really changed the hostname.domain.com to something else that is hosted on the same server?

Wildcard Dns Record

Nov 6, 2009

I have a server: serverA.maindomain.com

and another serverB.maindomain.com

The DNS records for maindomain.com are on serverA

so the serverB A record is on serverA which is fine (i am aware it's a risk if serverA goes down).

If I'm setting a sub domain of serverB such as site1.serverB.maindomain.com I have to setup an A record on serverA for the subdomain and I don't want to have to do this every time.

Is there anyway I can setup a wildcard A record for subdomains such as:
*.serverB.maindomain.com

DN Transfer And A Record

May 29, 2009

I cannot use DN's so Ive had to use dot in place of periods below)

I have a domain name registered with Netfirms - lets call it mydomain dot com. I didnt want to use their hosting services, just reg'd the DN with them. I host the mydomain dot com website on my home PC. In order to get both mydomain dot com and www dot mydomain dot com to resolve to my Home IP address I had to create an A record for each on the Netfirms Domain manager GUI.

I have since purchased Hosting services from Webhostingpad dot com and now wish to move/point my mydomain dot com and www dot mydomain dot com to my webhostingpad dot com hosted account.

When I spoke with Webhostingpad about pointing mydomain dot com to them they said all I had to do was use their Name Servers on the Netfirms side and I should be set. When I asked 'what about the A records? Do I need to create A records on their side for mydomain dot com and www dot mydomain dot com' they said 'Nope' - once its pointed to their NS I should be all set

My questions are:

- Why did I need to create A records on the Netfirms side to point to my Home IP?

- Will what Webhostingpad is saying work (once I point my DN to their NS, and remove the existing A records on the Netfirms side, I should be good to go)

- Will both mydomain dot com and www dot mydomain dot com resolve properly to my webhostingpad server?

I just want to make sure this works before I do it and potentially down my website.

A Record To Alias

Nov 15, 2008

I have built a new website (ASP) for a friend. Their current domain "hissite.co.uk" is on another server - they want their email to stay with that hosting company.

I have created their new site on another server using a similar domain name "hissite2.co.uk". The server is a shared hosting account so the IP isn't dedicated.

Question

Making a change to the A Record asks for an IP address but doesn't work when pointing to a shared hosting server which holds lots of domains. I don't want to change the CName or set up a 301 Redirect.

I was told that if I add an alias of the main domain (hissite.co.uk) on the new server the change to the A record on the current server, although the IP address is pointing to a shared hosting server will work.
