Starting FILEHOSTING site. Need a Fast server..
I am mostly looking for Unmetered Servers. Like FDC, but their servers are too slow as i heard from some of my friends.
Any other servers that are unmetered and offer good speeds?
I want a shared 100mbit for the start, maybe i will upgrade later.
I currently have 10mbit unmetered, but thats not enough for filehosting sites.
Apache includes a handy little program called ab
You can use this to measure how long it takes a web site to deliver a page n times
I wonder if people would like to state how fast their sites using shared web hosting can deliver simple pages, one in HTML and one in PHP (people can add other scripting languages if they wish.
Please don't post the site name or host name, just the results; I'd be interested in seeing what the range of results is, without getting into debates about hosting sites.
Here are two web pages
hello.html:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world</h1>
</body>
</html>
hello.php:
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "<h1>Hello, php world</h1>";
?>
</body>
</html>
Here are the test commands; note I set the concurrency level to 1 ("-c 1"), which gives a more realistic measure of the user response time for low-traffic sites.
html: ab -k -c 1 -n 50 [url]
php: ab -k -c 1 -n 50 [url]
And here are my results:
************** html:
Server Software: Apache/1.3.37
Concurrency Level: 1
Time taken for tests: 6.196 seconds
Requests per second: 8.07 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 123.929 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 123.929 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 3.36 [Kbytes/sec] received
************** php:
Server Software: Apache/1.3.37
Concurrency Level: 1
Time taken for tests: 15.859 seconds
Requests per second: 3.15 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 317.190 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 317.190 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 0.93 [Kbytes/sec] received
What benefits/features do you think an unmetered dedicated server will need for a starting file hosting website that will market agressively/daily in forums/warez with the free benefit of 500mb of free hosting?
Simple/ but important details:
*I would like to manage the server myself with cPanel/WHM + Fantastico as I control about 60 of my websites in hostgator shared baby account(however, hostgator prices are way to high for dedicated)
*I have never had experience with dedicated server management and only have done dilligence as of today
* My budget is from $65.00 to $100.00
Will this next unmetered example be the perfect solution for fast uploads/downloads to start?
CELERON-3.06GHZ
1 GB RAM
80 GB IDE DRIVE
Unmetered
5 IPS
No Setup Fee
I have install VNC on my test VPS.
I download tightvnc and play with it just fine, everything working like it should.
But, I just want to SSH to the VPS and now it give me "Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
I need to know how can I ssh into my vps again.
Can I just reboot the server and relogin again?
I want to start my own web server it will be hosting company for future. I will host to 100-200 domain and web sites as begining. Os will be linux red hat with cpanel.
My system will be;
HP ProLiant DL385 G2 (438816-421 HP DL385G2 2220) Two
opteron cpu's
Ram 8gb
HDD 8x HP 146GB 10K SAS 2.5 Hot Plug Hard Drive
Fire wall Cisco Pix 515e
My questions;
What can I do for this server works non stop 7/24 if any problem happen hw or sw base?
How many of same system I have to buy?
For example if I need to buy 2 of them. What kind of setup I need? (Like mirror, load balancing, vps, proxy) or if there are some hw base systems, what is your succes?
I have seen many people who run and maintain their own dedicated/servers, now i am thinking of having one of my own. Ive done some research and know the basics in terms of what to install and the hardware side of things.
If i run it from home on a very good PC how can i allocate bandwidth from people such as "The Planet" etc.. will i be able to pay for what i use only instead of paying a very high lump sum cooperate price, as i will be starting off new and experimenting things.
I would ideally want to run and host game servers. If you think the above wont suffice then what company could i approach in terms of getting me off the floor without having to pay a lot of money before im fully established?
I have one main server with various virtual servers installed on it. however I do not succeed in restarting one of the virtual server. i receive javascript errors(see attachment).
I have put all the security settings to low,enable scripts etc. and still it doesn't work.
I want to know how can I setup a VPN server on a centos 4 server through ssh?
not willing to sell vpn accounts, just for personal use.
I've searched a lot, but mostly centos was not listed, and the tutorials were so complicated.
The server I have running has LAMP and some other related services running. It's on a 100Mbit shared port. Whenever the server has been running for 30-90mins, the pings start to become very high (+2000ms). Problem exists with ftp, ssh, http etc, and restarting named, httpd, mysqld doesn't affect anything. The only thing that gets the pings back down and the speeds up again is to reboot the system, which takes about a minute. The MRTG graphs show that there isn't any significant traffic which cause the pings go down, in fact, the traffic goes close to 0 when the pings start sky rocketing. CPU load is < 0.1 and memory usage low as well.

i would like to know what specifications and how many of those accounts you would reccomend hosting on this server.
the specifications of the server are:
• AMD Dual Core 64-bit 4200+
• 1 GB RAM
• 160 GB Hard Drive
i am looking to set this up for as cheap as possible and sofar only know of Virtuozzo that can do this is there any other software that can do this, and what control panel would you reccomend.
I'm after a server admin company that has experience in high traffic and mission critical servers.
Response times should be super quick.
I hope for telephone and MSN.
I have no control panel.
Strong experience in:
- Centos
- Litespeed
- Lighttpd
- Apache
- Mysql
- DDoS
* money is not a problem *
I want to pay up front a monthly fee and have it fully managed so I don't have to worry why the MySQL server just suddenly died or why Server 4 doesn't respond.
Somebody posted a video in my website which got viral. Many big websites (like gizmodo) embeded it and I've maxed out my 100mbit/s connection. Traffic is increasing and my website started crashing.
I want to move that video to other server ASAP so my website would stop crashing.
Do you know any host which would set up server or VPS fast (up to 1-2 hours)?
Recently got an offer from a decent hosting place for a server with a Celeron 1.7ghz processor for a pretty good price.
Would that be sufficient to power what will primarily be blogs and emails?
All of the sites will be running things like Wordpress, b2evolution, and Nucleus.
I installed XAMPP a few weeks ago and had a php website working on my localhost – all worked fine no probs. To do this I had to stop my IIS server as this was also using port:80 which is what XAMPP is set to use as default. Now for some reason when I started IIS again a few days ago to do some asp development work and then stopped it again, the apache server would not start even though I’ve definitely stopped IIS. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing XAMPP, but it still won’t start. I tried running the apache_start.bat from the command line and I got the following error message:
"An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its
access permissions": make_sock: unable to listen for connections on address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down
Apache could not be started
If I try and start Apache from the XAMPP control panel it just says Apache:stopped and the message in the bottom window is ERROR: Apache service not started [-1]
I was just wondering if you had come across this problem before? If yes, how did you resolve it? Someone mentioned changing the port, but being a bit new to apache and XAMPP I’m not really sure what would need to change in what config files.
Am new and have done the usual forum search but did not find what i (specifially) want.
Looking for a good (shared) hosting company with the ability to run both ASP.NET and PHP sites (if possible).
The hosting should be fast and accessible in US, Europe and China.
Thus far, i have been able to find a few shared hosting companies with a bit of speed, but they will not provide both ASP.NET and PHP
Is my combination hard to find and will i need to just seperate and find 2 hosting companies, one for .NET and one for PHP?
We have a few websites which get 90% Asian traffic. Looking to optimise the user experience in terms of loading time..
Any specific server providers good for asian traffic? How do I find the latency time for a server provider before I go ahead with buying the server?
speed(time) with which a DNS setting change to a different IP will show up on a query.
Also, what's the fastest way to do this?
Is there someone I can buy my own IP from?
currently i am on OVH...and ovh's speeds are amazing when it comes to torrenting..and stuff..no problems whatsoever till now..but i am looking for a modest budget server than will give me good http speeds average 400-500KB/sec ...i dont care much abt the hard drive space..even a 40 geg hard drive will do..but all i need is a good RAM..i am expecting 300-400 max users to download from the server using http..concurrent connections may be not more than 150..so i definitely need a good RAM..3 gegs i presume? budget: preferably less than 100 dollars
View 2 Replies View RelatedBeing using the free version of siteuptime.com but this month alone i have had so far 3 false alerts reported, i am always in the putty and does not get interrupted, and i am sure i am around on the site too while supposedly siteuptime reports down (i am guessing firewall blocks their server ip for w/e reason). So am wondering is there any really good public tracking site out there which can do public reports more accurately and not kak out on me?
Whats your experience with siteuptime for monitoring if any ? Sometimes it works "ok" other times its just off the charts.
Is there a good dedicated server company that has fast guaranteed turn ups, allows colocation, a private network, and is outside the midwest?
I want to colo my database server(s), firewalls, and switches but then use dedicated servers as web servers. Hopefully allowing me to add web servers very quickly as needed (someone getting /.'d). I would want the webservers on a private network only.
Does anyone offer any type of service like this?
I need a dedicated server sometime in the future and I was wondering if I should use Virtuozzo or Hypervm and how much can I get a dual core or quad core with good support? Thank you for your time.

plesk interface:
Code:
Failed to restart the "mysql" service.
Cannot start/stop/restart service: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)

I was adding another apache node to the cluster. All the nodes have RHEL5 installed on it. I downloaded the source httpd-2.2.10 and compile it using commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so --enable-rewrite=shared --enable-cgi=shared --enable-unique_id=shared --enable-ssl=shared --enable-include=shared
make
make install
After it is compiled without any errors, when i am trying to start it it's giving me error.
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
httpd: Could not open configuration file /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid argument
File exists at the said location. There is no permission issue also.

I have installed APF on box and set ports for in and out and enabled it.. of course, iptables is running from booting..
[root@localhost /]# runlevel
N 3
[root@localhost /]# chkconfig --list | grep iptables
iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
[root@localhost /]# chkconfig --list | grep apf
apf 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
but when I check it like this
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables start
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: mangle filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: ^[[A [ OK ]
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
it said iptables is stop...even I start manually...
I am not sure APF is running correctly because of iptables..
What if i got a really good connection to this house i have in Sweden and bought some servers there, is it a good idea and would it sell? How hard is it to get a good connection, the house is in a fairly populated area of Sweden and i have partners who could help run it and do support 24 hours.
But its just a thought and we would start small. What do you guys think?
I have a wordpress site, and am trying to find someone good and reasonable price to design me a template for the website so I can still use wordpress but have access and control to everything.. I am going to buy a domain as well to hook wordpress up to it so I can edit themes etc.. I was looking at maybe using mmhosting..
Also, I have a forum, but not sure what type of forum I need to be able to arrange it and add and use features don't I can't now, so basically upgrade..
My site, as I said is wordpress but I want it to look like the forums I am using..
had alot of trouble installing YUM
but anyways...

I have a dedicated machine with Xen configured... Dom0 stuff runs great.
I have a pre-made image from jailtime.org, with an ubuntu.7-04.img, ubuntu-7-05.xen3.cfg, and ubuntu.swap -- obviously, the actual image, the config file, and the swap file.
Starting it fails:
Code:
$ sudo xm create ./ubuntu.7-04.xen3.cfg
Using config file "././ubuntu.7-04.xen3.cfg".
The config file:
Code:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen"
memory = "256"
name = "ubuntu"
vif = [ 'mac=00:01:02:03:04:07, bridge=xenbr0, vifname=vif1.0' ]
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['file:/home/matt/vms/ubuntu-7.04/ubuntu.7-04.img,sda1,w', 'file://home/matt/vms/ubuntu-7.04/ubuntu.swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
Actually, a couple derivative questions here...
- Are the /boot and /dev/sda1 literal? That is, do they relate to Dom0 names (/boot on the server, and /dev/sda1, my "real" disk), or are they telling the new DomU what to call them?
- I don't want DHCP.... Do I change dhcp to "0" / "false," or do I specify an IP?
I've found a zillion guides out there, and they cover everything about setting up Xen, except for this one part, it seems?
I'm having troubles starting up MySQL. When I run..
# service mysqld start
I get..
Starting MySQL................................... [FAILED]
So I ran..
# ps aux | grep mysql
And did kill -9 for the running processes. When I try to run..
# service mysqld stop
I get the error..
MySQL PID file could not be found! [FAILED]
So I don't really know what to do. Does anyone have any advice about how I could resolve this issue?
