Often when it comes to choosing or recommending a host, I tend to favor the ones that are larger, and more established such as Hotgator or Downtown Host. But in some other threads, I have seen plenty of people swear by some smaller hosts. Are there some good examples of small hosts that have been around for 3 or more years and have a great reputation?
View 12 RepliesMy client has a domain registered at GoDaddy and a Yahoo Small Business email package.
The only info I can find on Yahoo suggests I need to redelegate the domain's name servers to Yahoo, and I'd rather not do this if I can help it.
Is it possible to simply leave the name servers at GoDaddy and point the MX record to Yahoo's servers?
I don't see anything on Yahoo saying it won't work, but then I see nothing to suggest it will either!
I have been with Virpus for several months and have been very satisfied with the service in the last two months. Unfortunately, Ken has decided to discontinue Xen service and I need to find a new home. My basic needs are as follows:
Support: 7x24 (with less than 3 hours average resp. time)
Memory: 1GB+ with swap
Bandwidth: 500GB+
Storage: 50GB on RAID
#IPs: 4 (justification will be provided)
Platform: Xen
OS: Centos (preferably 64bit)
Cpanel/WHM (not required)
and the usuals such as HyperVM, root access, reboots, OS reloads. Thanks for all the replies.
My server currently has some problems with DNS/mail, which i can't seem to fix myself. My colocation host offered to help me by giving him root access, but i don't know him very well yet. Is there some kind of script/logtool so i can track everything he did on the server? I don't want him snooping around through my webfiles and databases...
View 13 Replies View RelatedCan anyone please tell me how dangerous in fact Apache's TRACE and TRACK functions?
I have read common explanation but would disabling TRACK and TRACE improve my server's ability to fight cross site scripting and similar attacks and make it more secure?
I'm small hosting provider. On one dedicated server I have around 100 cPanel accounts.
That server is under constant, although not powerful DoS attack.
Since my company domain is not targeted on another server I believe that it is not me but one of my customers that attack is against.
Is there a way, tool, service provider than can help me pin down which account is being hit?
All accounts are on server main shared IP.
Would spreading them on another IPs help? Or would I still see attacks only on main shared IP?
I'd like to know, is there any way to know about hosting provider, if we have only ip address of the server. i.e.
66.63.181.74 - this is the ip address of my website server, how can i trace the service provider who is giving this hosting service?
I have a few shred hosting servers I run. One of them keeps getting listed on CBL. It is very frustrating. Does anyone have an tools, tips, or tricks on finding the compromised?
So far I have confirmed that a script is using PHP to send mail out bypassing the MTA. It is faking the HELO and impersonating a well known ISP.
I used a combination of tshark and netstat. tshark can show me the HELO and EHLO. When I see the wrong entry I cross check that with netstat to see what. So Netstat only shows that it was PHP not the script path.
Here are the commands I'm running:
Code:
nohup netstat -c -p -n -e | grep -i ":25" > /var/log/monitor/netstat-smtp.log &
nohup tshark -f "port 25 and src host XX.XX.XX.XX" > /var/log/monitor/tshark-smtp.log &
Then I grep for what I'm looking for:
grep -i "HELO" /var/log/monitor/tshark-smtp.log
Is there a way to get Netstat to show the script path or complete command that is establishing the connection? Currently these scripts are eating up memory to a point that other process or getting killed off.
I also tried to force all mail through the MTA, but When I enable SMTP_BLOCK in my firewall config I get and error:
*WARNING* Cannot use SMTP_BLOCK on this VPS as the Monolithic kernel does not support the iptables module ipt_owner - SMTP_BLOCK disabled.
If there is a better way I'm game. Maybe some IDS that can tell me more of what is going on with the server?
I am currently developing a web application on a WAMP server. Once complete my client will have some in-house "programmers" make changes to the code as they are needed.
My client wants to track all changes made to the source files (ie- who made the change, when it was made, what files were modified, and what specific lines were added/removed/modified). Also, the program must run on the server and not the programmers computers.
I've searched high and low and only found a couple programs that scratch the surface of what they want.
how exactly email works. For example, I set my mx record to google apps in order to use google mail with my own domain. Thing is, I can sent from google mail now with my domain email address but cannot send. Furthermore, login to my website email bij www.domain.com/webmail is possible but receiving is impossible and even sending email from that place will not work.
Thinking about it it seems that email is lost
google can send but not receive
from my domain webmail i cannot receive nor send.
Is there a way I can track the HTTP traffic to which domain is running with high traffic. Due to traffic load I/O wait is increasing. I want to suspend the domain that have the large traffic to avoid down time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've done plenty of searching on DDoS attacks and from what I've found so far it seems that it's "very difficult" track down the person(s) responsible for the attack.
My question is this - could someone actually do it if they were qualified enough? Would a hacker who is well versed in the techniques used be able to find the person(s)? Or is it just simply impossible sometimes?
I just installed Apache 2.4.4 and it seems to run fine overall. But in my error.log I get about 3 of these every hour or so.error.log:[Sat Jun 15 20:57:44.095961 2013] [core:notice] [pid 31400:tid 16384] AH00052: child pid 1971 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
track down what causes this? What module? vhost?Otherwise the server seems to run fine. It's on Linux with PHP 5.3.26 and MySQL 5.1.
I'm working on setting something up for monitoring my bandwidth/traffic on multiple interfaces. I have setup interface aliases so I have eth0, eth0:0, eth0:1 and the issue I'm running into is that it seems snmp cannot tell the diff between the aliased interfaces. I've found references in the cacti forums of using ipchains rules to track the bandwidth, but I've not found a good howto that explains what I need to get going on this.
Any clues/hints?
What script/application can I install on my linux box to track the bandwidth per each domain?

I'd like to track the email user agents that our clients use. Basically, I'd like to have something that looks like that:
[url]
Logwatch says I send out about 3k emails each day and that is a ridiculous amount. I use postfix and do not run any sort of relay, even for myself. I have IPB 2.2.2, Wordpress 2.0.4, and Gallery 2.x.
How can I track down where these messages are originating from? Or perhaps I am reading my LogWatch file incorrectly?
Quote:
--------------------- postfix Begin ------------------------
17999281 bytes transferred
2460 messages sent
26 messages expired and returned to sender
145 messages removed from queue
Top ten senders:
24 messages sent by:
apache (uid=48):
2 messages sent by:
root (uid=0):
I'm wondering if theres anything I can install on the server that will either filter or track outgoing spam. I don't want to limit the number of emails sent per hour or anything, I just want to be able to maybe search through some flagged emails or something. Or if they send the exact same email more than x times it can disable their account... I'm not sure
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!
I am running Apache2.2, PHP5.I have been running with virtual hosts on a Windows 7 environment fine for a couple of years successfully, but have just had to move to a Windows 8 environment.It looks like Apache and PHP have installed and are working fine, but my Virtual hosts are now not being recognised. From what I can tell, it is the Windows 8 hosts file that is having a problem, as it looks as though it is now just setup to Block websites.
If I make the host file just have the one line127.0.0.1 localhost entry, then the very first Virtual Host from my apache config file will come up, but the rest are not found.If I put the usual 127.0.0.1 mywebsite.name aliasname is appears as though my website works momentarily and then is blocked..
I've been trying to use mod_forensics – [url]-- which has helped on one server track down some one causing the segmentation fault due to trying to abuse FrontPage shtml.dll, but on another server also suffering from regular segmentation faults, this tool has not helped.
What other tools are available to track down the cause(s) of Apache segmentation faults?
I know it's not specifically a plesk issue, but as I use plesk to resell webs and many users install (manually) wordpress, I thought I'll ask around.I would like to know if this can be done with a single sql select or if I would have to use a script to do this:
- track all mysql databases on my server
- find the proper table in each database (as the prefix can be customized, the start of the table name will probably never be the same in two WP installations)
- find the proper field in that table and check the WP version and administrator email
and then what I will do is send an email to those adresses advising them to update WP
Recently I stumbled along a host on here with a good rep and that uses direct admin.
Because they were very nice on the live support I signed up to see what direct admin was like.
Its very diferent from cpanel. Some parts seem to be harder to use like the phpmyadmin requires the username and password to the database you created not the control panel username and password like cpanel. Although I guess that could be a good security feature just in case some one gets into the control panel they can not get into the phpmyadmin, then again if they are smart and were able to get into the control panel they could get into ftp and look what the username and password is on the config file for the script you are using.
The bandwidth meter seems to be better in direct admin although I think its acting up for me as its putting yesterdays bandwidth on todays. I was told by the host that it updates every 2 hours and at first it did but now its gone to every day. Oh and unlike cpanel this bandwidth meter includes bandwith used by the control panel.
Niether one from what I can tell counts sftp though at least for the hosts I have right now.
Who are the smaller players at 111 8th ave?
By smaller players, I mean NOT XO, Level(3), Switch and Data, AboveNet or anyone in that category, the big guys. Someone who owns a cage or a suite may be.
I'll be running a small site with the Vivvo CMS (www.vivvo.net) I'm guessing 256mb/ram would do it. I do need a control panel... Support is key as well 24/7 would be nice... Budget... lets start small, I know I get what i pay for however.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to make a small review of 59Box , chinese hosting company that i pleased to work with for last period.
I needed a dedicated server placed in China and started to search the web . I did a few conversations mostly on messenger with a few companies , but it was very strange for me that they sometimes even didn't knew to answer my very simple questions about upload/download speed limitation, trial period,they clients web sites for test connection etc. So i found it not so easy to find some professional loooking company with good and quick support in China.
After of few days of searching in forums i found 2 recomendations, one is for 59Box and second is for HiChina so i contacted them both.
I was amazded by very quick response from 59Box and started my conversation with them. Ken , this is the name of guy who helped me all the way , answered my questions extremely fast , and all of them was cleared . Hichina answered on the next day , also with very good and detailed mail , sample contract attached etc . But i seen no reason to try them cause Ken's proposal was good for me and I liked his support.
I paid by Paypal and my server was ready in 24 hours as promised by Ken. Since then it's running with no problems. Line is very good for my needs. Latency is good and connections is stable.
So i'll recommend this company to everybody who looking for server in china with great support and good prices.
