I recently checked out the offer at the advertising section about surfspeedyservers.com providing really affordable servers. I just wanted to ask you guys what do you think of them? Has anyone had servers with them or any previous/current experience.
View 2 Repliessurfspeedy.com is unbelievable. They shut down my VPS without notice and are not answering to support tickets. Can you believe that? I did not host any illegal stuff or anything of course, only normal sites. And they don`t even answer me.
There are a few reasons that you should keep away from surfspeedy.com.
1. Obviously surfspeedy.com is crap.
2. surfspeedy speed is crap, I suspect they oversell.
3. surfspeedy support is crap, a lot of talk, talk, talk, no action.
4. surfspeedy techs are crap that cannot even set up awstats correct.
I should have known this, they get bad reviews everywhere, but they was very sweet talking when I signed up.
Now I am looking for another managed VPS of course. What is the biggest companies that rent out managed VPS ? I will just use the big and old companies from now. I rather pay a bit more. Please advice me. I can even consider a dedicated if it is on a solid company that have very good reputation.
if anyone has went through surfspeedy.com. I was wondering if you guys noticed that thair vps servers are slower and if you might know why. Also, does anyone know a phone number besides the number on their website, they double charged my account and i have been submiting support ticket one after another, but they keep telling me to submit another one whenever i call. I need a phone number to get ahold of someone in charge or someone with billing.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSurf speedy offers 24/7 Support but, thats only if you want to wait 4-6 hours for a ticket reply! Then when you try to go on live support, they disconect you. Then when you try and call them, they hang up on you. Wow. >.<. I called them and talked to a lady named "Kathy" <<snipped>> I asked her If I could talk to someone in management rto resloved my problem she replied "Sorry, Im the only one working here at the moment." Now, they say then have a high clientel. If this is true more then one person has to answer thier call center phones.
So since then, I cancelled my servers and requested a refund.
They took 6 days to give a full refund back, when they advertise 24 Hours.

The official worst VPS host and support!
It's now been 2 months since i purchased my VPS with SurfSpeedy and i can say, its been great up until 2 days ago,
My emails werent working and i had the VPS filled with loads of junk so i had it re-installed and installed cPanel etc, then realised my domain had expired so i requested they change it, They destroyed my VPS Server. Once completed they re-created it, i installed cPanel etc got on with things... the downtime was 2 days... TO CHANGE A HOSTNAME!!! Anyway i left ticket after ticket phone support and live chat and they have decided to ignore my problems now,
I Request compensation they bring my invoice forward 2 weeks, i finally got a reply to my ticket from there "Senior Tech Support" member "Tina" and here it is

AT NO POINT DID I REFERENCE TO CANCELING!
Anyway im really not impressed with SS and id advise anybody against them!
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?
We send mail to another servers but we cant recieve mails another servers. We can't recieve with webmail and outlook.
I look logs but there is no error and our ip is not in blacklist.

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?
I'm currently using the ones my registrar offers (Domain Site). But it just happened that they had an outage (they were down for a few minutes).
I'm looking for a more reliable solution. I could get dedicated servers where I'm hosting my servers, and I could also get services (like UltraDNS).
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
If you are located in the UK: Which manufacturers/sellers for dedicated servers can you recommend?
So far, I am sympathising with Dell. Any other good opportunities in a similar price range?

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?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've just ordered my first VPS (unmanaged) and the only thing I'm really concerned about is setting up/using a DNS server.
I think I have 3 options.
1. Set up BIND on my VPS... this doesn't look like much fun and offers no redundancy. I'd prefer not to do this.
2. Outsource the DNS server. I'd like to use a free one if possible [url] looks good... anyone had any experiences?) but suggestions of cheap services are also webcome.
3. Use my registrar's DNS server. I'm using namecheap at the moment. Here's the screen that comes up:

Would that work? And create subdomain.domain.tld?
Finally, I think I'd need to select 'user' at the bottom and enter an MX record. Would this be domain.tld?
Personally I would never follow this route (hosting gameserver(s) on a VPS), but maybe some people on these forums do and I'm quite interested in what these people run (game+slots), on what hardware/OS, at which host and their opinion about the performance of it.
