Switched To A Dedicated IP And Traffic Dropped

Jun 9, 2008

I have been hosting boxcheats.com with HostGator for a few months, and two days ago I ordered a dedicated IP address to see if it would help with seo. Traffic and Adsense revenue significantly dropped immediately after the dedicated IP was assigned to my account.

Is this normal when switching to a dedicated IP address and what is the cause for the instant drop in traffic?

Traffic Accounting Packages For Dedicated Hosting

Oct 31, 2006

Can anyone give me some recomendations of some traffic accounting packages?

I'm looking for something that drives the backend stats you get as a customer when you login to your Dedicated Server providers control panel. Traffic graphs / total throughput stats etc

The obvious way to do this is to ping the switch ports and generate graphs and stats using RRD tool. The other way to do it would be to mirror the external switch port and generate stats from there (this would discount 'internal' traffic between boxes, although there will be a seperate private LAN for this).

We can obviously roll our own, but to save on man hours are there any out the box packages (open source or otherwise) to generate the graphs, traffic levels and dump it all out in a nice customer friendly report (i.e not something like Cacti).

In other words, what does everyone else use...or is it a case that everyone has based the backend on mrtg / rrdtool and built their own reporting lauyer ad-hoc on top?

Is it actually possible to find Windows dedicated server with unlimited traffic (1Gb Pipe)and reliable 24/7 technical support? Cause I have searched and found out that if the traffic is unlimited the pipe is too small, and if the pipe is big enough traffic is limited and additional one costs a fortune.

RAID Controller Randomly Dropped Off System

Mar 26, 2007

This problem has happened to me twice on the very same server. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it.

My raid controller is Areca 1160 + 1GB Ram + 16xWD4000YS. Initially I had the problem of the disk dropping from the array randomly. I suppose this problem has been fixed since I have upgraded disks firmware according to WDC suggestion.

But there's another problem now. From my observation, the controller is randomly dropped off the system. When this happen, I cannot read/write anything from the disk at all. I can SSH in and able to run Areca CLI tool to see what's going on but only to get the message saying that it cannot find any Areca controller.

My only option is to restart the server and fsck all those 16 disks (not fun). I checked the log on the RAID controller itself, there was no sign of problem at all. No alert, no disk being dropped off the array, no events logged at all.

I'm using CentOS 4.3. Firmware on the RAID controller is 1.41, latest is 1.42. (Stupid me for not upgrading firmware when server crashed.) I plan to take the server down for RAID firmware upgrade soon. I just hoped that it's just problem with the firmware, not the controller or backplane itself.

Dedicated Or Clustered? Which One Is Better For Extremely High Traffic Sites

Apr 24, 2008

hosting solution for 3 very high traffic blogs, all running on WordPress.

I have been researching dedicated and I came across a couple posts where people recommended Clustered hosting over Dedicated for better handling high traffic DB driven sites in the times of Digg or Slashdot frontpage exposure.

I would like your feedback, and your opinion on what to choose from the following options:

1. Netfirms Enterprise III (Clustered)

2. ResellerZoom Failover (Clustered)

3. LiquidWeb Dedicated Webmaster Series (Dedi w/ 2GB DDR and a 3Ghz Intel Hyperthreaded)

4. HiVelocity Dedicated (Dedi w/ Quad-Core Xeon 2.4GHz and 2GB DDR)

High Traffic Hosting Solution (dedicated Server?)

Jul 23, 2007

I'm working on launching this online store for a poster designer, and we're becoming more and more aware that we need a really robust and fast server. This site is looking at extremely high levels of activity whenever this designer posts a new poster. We're talking 1700 people surfing the store (downloading med-high resolution poster images) and 300 posters sold in 16 seconds kind of thing.

So, we need a really robust hosting, to work with PHP5 and MYSQL.

My previous go-to hosting provider was Lunarpages, but their customer service has gone down the crapper, and I've just about had it with them. My main questions are:
Should I be looking into getting a dedicated server, or are there hosting companies that can handle this kind of traffic on a shared server? I don't have experience administrating a server, so if we got a dedicated one we would have to pay the host to do at least some of the setup/administration, I would assume?
Dedicated server or not, what's a hosting company that has really good customer service, where we can be assured of getting somebody knowledgeable without having to wait on hold for 20 (or even 10) minutes?

APC - AP7930 Switched Rack PDU

Mar 29, 2009

Have an issue that I am dealing with, APC support couldn't really help me get anywhere either.

Here is the story:

I am leasing a rack at Equinix in Sunnyvale.

It came with 3 APC Switched rack PDUs.

By the looks of it, they were used by the previous customer.

APC sent me a serial to RJ11 programming cable, and I have been trying to use HyperTerminal, but I get a blank screen when I attempt to connect.

I have tried arp commands, but, again, it looks like the device was previously configured.

I downloaded this: [url] hyper terminal software.

Using A Switched PDU To Reboot A Dual-power Server

Nov 29, 2007

at getting PDUs for the new facility where we plan to move our servers to. Our cabinet will have 2*20a circuits, so we're thinking of getting 2 APC PDUs (1 per circuit). Some offer remote reboot capability.

Our servers (Dell PowerEdge) have dual power supplies, and I assume the best thing is to plug one power supply into each circuit, so things stay up even if a circuit fails.

So, how would this work if we want to reboot? The servers can run on only one power supply, so does that mean we have to click reboot on the web interface of each PDU at exactly the same time?

I've never worked with PDUs before.. just cheap power strips and a call to the datacenter

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Soa Serial 0 Domain Will Be Switched Off Soon

Apr 20, 2015

I have one domain (just one?) that has a serial of 0 (on my server 5.9.57.170 , latest plesk)

Because of that, dns updates don't happen, dns servers don't respond , and my domain issuer is threatening to revoke the domain as it is not working as it should.

> dig auringostaitaan.fi @5.9.57.170 soa +short
robotns3.second-ns.com. torsten.ruger.gmail.com. 0 10800 3600 604800 10800

You can see the test here [URL] .... when you enter the domain auringostaitaan.fi

In trying to fix this i have switched the dns off,changed the mode, enabled RIPE, but i get what it says [URL] ....

Note: See the sample of SOA serial number generated with the selected format. If the resulting number is less, than the current zone number, the modification may cause temporary malfunction of DNS for this domain. Zone updates may be invisible to Internet users for some time.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Slave DNS Manager - Still Tries To Sync Zones That Are Switched Off

May 5, 2015

I have recently started using the slave DNS manager in the Plesk extension library. I've found that even for DNS zones that are switched off in Plesk, failed sync/transfers still try to take place between the slave and master. Why is this so?

Shouldn't turning the DNS functionality off in Plesk remove the zone from the slave DNS server?

When a domains DNS functionality is turned off, it removed the zone info from the master, but no command is issued to remove it from the slave??

Domain that is trying to sync/transfer: example.com
Plesk/Master server: 111.11.11.111
Slave DNS: 222.222.22.222

Code:
May 6 08:51:39 ns2 named[1178]: zone example.com/IN: refresh: unexpected rcode (REFUSED) from master 111.11.11.111#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0)
May 6 08:51:39 ns2 named[1178]: zone example.com/IN: Transfer started.
May 6 08:51:40 ns2 named[1178]: transfer of 'example.com/IN' from 111.11.11.111#53: connected using 222.222.22.222#53166

VPS With Mostly Inbound Traffic

Mar 24, 2009

Imagine you want a set of servers (VPSs would be a cheaper choice, that is why I am posting here) that do not have much outbound traffic but download from other servers (more or less as spiders, but I am not trying to create a web index). Disk space or memory size are not important, but port speed and monthly transfer should be as high as possible. As inbound traffic is less frequently used, I wonder if any provider offer cheaper rates if traffic is like this.

I have been searching the forums and have not found too much about this topic (a quite related post named "I want to download the Internet" or something similar did not get a conclusion).

Overload Of Traffic

Jul 2, 2009

I am not sure if my dedicated server is being attacked or if it is legitimate traffic. I need help figuring out the difference and if it is an attack, how to prevent it, and if it is legitimate traffic, how to configure the server to handle the load.

My server information is below:

HardwareIntel Xeon 3220-Quad Core [2.4GHz
8GB DDR2
SATAII 500GB

SoftwareCentOS 5.3-32
Apache2
MySQL 5
PHP 5
When I do ps aux|grep httpd|wc -l I get the count of current connected clients of 259 which is always maxing out my MaxClients of 256. I had increased it to 512, and it maxed out, I had increased it to 1024 and it maxed out, and lastly I had setup to 2048 and it works, but slows the entire server down.

How Do You Deal With Too Much Bot Traffic

Oct 28, 2008

Recently I noticed the load on one of my servers way beyound what I would expect it to be. I run multi processor servers and even during a backup the load is only around 1.5.

But lately I noticed peak loads that high under normal web traffic.

I know 1.5 is low on an multi processor server, but I am hoping to add much more to those machines and with sustained load that high it leaves no room for expansion. The servers are not cheap, so adding another server to the cluster can only be done if I make money from the last one I added.

I checked the traffic levels and they were very high. After further review I had some bots hitting sites at over 1200 pages a minute. Multiply that by a few hundred bots and clearly I could have a load issue. The potential is there to bring any server to its knees when delivering those volumes.

I created programing to watch connections and block the abusive bots. While logging I became aware of over 600 bots crawling my servers. Many bots from, Japan, China, Germany and so on and on, useless to my customers even if they are legit search indexes.

Another problem I see is that the bots are running from many ip addresses and hitting the same sites from multiple ips at the same time. Why would the need to do that?

Among other things I decided to validate googlebot, msn and yahoo with dns lookups so I could determine that they were actually their bots and not imposters. In 24 hours I found valid bots from the big three hitting one server from 1100 different ips.

Now we are looking at thousands of vaild bots and thousands more email harvesters and content theives.

As a host, the number of sites I can host on a server is greatly reduced by the bot traffic. My customers do not want to hear that their website was being crawled at 3,000 pages a minute and that is why they could not access it. Of course they will blame it on me.

I was able to filter the bots at a firewall level and drop connections based on reverse dns lookups and site crawl rates and my server sits around 0.05 most of the time even with hundreds of pages a minute being accessed.

I am wondering how the rest of you hosts deal with this problem. Do you leave it up to your hosting customers? Or do you have some type of filter to get rid of the bots.

When you have a few sites it is not really a problem, but as you grow it grows exponetially out of control.

Traffic Shaping An IP

One of my friend's seems to enjoy downloading movies day in day out till we reach our cap.

Now I know ingress shaping doesn't change the fact that we are gonna reach our cap earlier but it might discourage him for downloading as much.

how can I shape his traffic to say 50KB/s both in and out for just an IP (so it doesn't affect the rest of us ?)
