Who are the premium VPS companies? I have been burned enough with companies that are tryin to build client base so they can sell out.
What are the companies that have been around for a while and are selling plans that make the company stable for the long term?
Is there any preset criteria for it like Level 1 includes a, b & c, Level 2 includes d, e & f and level includes x, y & z?
I know the difference in General but, I wanted a specific answer.

I've been doing some traceroutes between Chicago and Dallas. Tracing from Chicago -> Dallas, I go through Denver almost 100% of the time. Tracing from Dallas -> Chicago, I go through Denver or Atlanta before routing to Chicago.
Is this normal? Looking at the Level 3 network map there seems to be several, much shorter routes.

My university runs a website to help students find rentals in the general area. We recently ran into some billing issues with our current VPS host, and we're trying to move to a new VPS.
I have some experience finding cheap VPSs (I use Slicehost for a 256MB RAM VPS), but this one has different requirements. Our current VPS provides us with 1GB of RAM, and we don't want to go below this. Also, the VPS we use gives great tech support to my boss (who only knows the very basics about technology). We'd also strongly prefer a VPS that comes with Cpanel.
Does anyone have any recommendations for other VPSs that meet these requirements?
how to ban an entire top-level domain? For example ban everyone from Russia by coming from the .ru domain? Or everyone from Lithuania by somehow banning everyone coming from .It ip address.
I've had some people from those places try to hack my site and am fed up with it. So I want to ban those two entire countries for the time being using cPanel X's "IP Deny Manager".
By the way I am not a technical person. Just your every day person running a site.
Is anyone co-located at this facility? The 111 8th Ave center is filled up, but L3 says NY2 is just as good. They are a tad bit more than colo4dallas and others for the same specs, but I'm curious to hear everyones thoughts about NY2.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have my personal and business websites through Cpanel - which has a backup facility in it. I also have a WebHost Manager, which has a backup option in there. Then.. I can log into HyperVM, and there is another backup option there. This is all running on a VPS.
So - should i be running backups on all 3 levels? Which should I be running backups on, and which is the recommended course of action? The sites are not all that active.. a one week data loss would not be catastrophic - though, if any new clients in that period of time they'd have to re-sign up. I'm currently running backups 3 times a week via WebHost Manager... but suddenly had a fear that maybe I need to run the Cpanel and HyperVM backups too?
I've been carrying some weird hours lately, so I'm able to see activity on my sites that I normally don't see.
Certain IPs are trying to diddle their things into my server and need the boot. It's not consistent (ie not happening every 5, 10 mins)... it's periodically throughout the months. I'll see an IP I blocked 2 months ago just randomly show up at 4:30am and try accessing the same files it was probing during it's last visit. Assuming this is just some sort of bot, can I block it permanently?
I know APF has a collection system that purges an IP list to keep it from bloating, and I had PSM do some hardening so I'm not entirely sure about the workings of APF firewall. So far my IP blocks are blank (which is a good sign!), but I'd like to add some nuisances to it, to keep their crap from appearing in my error logs anymore as "Denied by Server Configuration"
My question is: Can I block people at server level permanently? I do not want their IP being taken out with the purge list that comes by every so often.

I am looking at getting some Qwest bandwidth at 200 Paul, San Francisco. Not being too familar with Qwest's network and as part of evaluating that decision I did some testing to see how the routes/latency looked from various points on the Internet and from our other data centers. For pretty much all the testing I did from the major tier 1/2 networks, Qwest has great peering in places you would expect resulting is decent routes and low latency.
The strange thing is that the one exception is routes from Level 3. As an example, traffic from various Northern California points on Level 3's network to a test IP on Qwest's network in Sunnyvale all go via Denver to connect to Qwest and then back to the Bay Area. For LA originating traffic, it goves via Dallas. Same thing for Seattle that is going via Denver.
Hard to imagine these two tier 1 providers don't peer at any location on the west coast at all? Is this typical between these two or is there some temporary outage right now? Or is there some peering spat going on between them?
Seems pretty silly for traffic to go 3,000 miles between points that are only 10 miles apart!
Here is an example of the route to a test IP sunnyvale.speedtest.qwest.net (205.171.214.185):

My startup company has tasked me to look for a hosting company to get dedicated servers for their production (Web, DB) and operation (email, AD, etc) servers, 9 servers in total. I'm new to this whole industry and finding this forum really help me point myself in the right direction given so much junk and "partial" review sites out there.
I was able to get great reviews and recommendations off this forum but since I'm new, one area I'm not clear on is the different levels/tiers/class of hosting companies. For example, from what I am reading, Gigenet & Rackspace seem to be on a high end scale while CoreNetworks is on the low end but still excellent. Where would others like LiquidWeb, SteadFast, Softlayer fit in?
Can someone help me break it down into classes like cars such as budget/mid size/luxury or is it even possible? I'm just trying to get a sense of how to compare these companies as I'm getting quotes from them. These are some of the companies I'm looking at:
LiquidWeb
Gigenet
Softlayer
SteadFast
ThePlanet
Colocrosing
Iweb
DedicatedNow
CoreNetworks
Cartika
Servint
SingleHot
They all seem to have good reviews. I know some are truly managed and some just leave everything to you. I'm probably looking for something in between that has decent bandwidth and speeds. Our site won't be a public site so no large traffic requirements but we are spread out from NY to LA. We probably don't need the fastest speeds but somthing reliable. We are also in the health care industry so HIPAA maybe important but I'm still trying to determine that.

Our email server is hosted with the web host, and what we want to do is to not allow certain users to be able to receive (And send) outgoing email to non-local domains e.g. they should only be able send and receive within our hosted domain, @mydomain.com .
Now, we've tried doing this using cpanel's user level filters and have setup the following:
Rules:
If Field To does not contain @mydomain.com OR
If Field From does not contain @mydomain.com
Action:
Fail with message.
We've tested these filters using combinations and they seem to be working as far as we can see on cpanel (it has the filter testing feature)
Now this works for people sending emails into our domain e.g. someone from hotmail tries sending emails to a user, and it bounces back.
But people from inside the domain can send emails to other domains even when they give valid results on the cpanel filter tester.

How to add an external third level domain to cPanel?
