UK OS Commerce Site
May 5, 2008
I am running an OScommerce site which has about 300 unique IPs a day I am about to add a Joomla SOBI2 Classifieds part to the site. Currently it runs on a desktop PC which is attached to business broadband. I need to host it properly. My experience with shared hosting hasn't been good hence why I ended up doing it for my self. 99% of my customers are in the U.K so I would require a server in the UK. Since I run my own server CENTOS I am think that VPS plan might be the way to go so I can reuse skills, my cron jobs and SSL Certificate.

I am in the process of designing a new e-commerce site for a small business and am pretty much figuring it out as I go along. I do know that it is crucial to have absolute security for any kind of monetary transactions. I am just confused as to whether I need a shared SSL, dedicated SSL, dedicated IP address or a combination of the above.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is all about encryption. SSL encrypts data, like credit cards numbers as well other personally identifiable information, which prevents the "bad guys" from stealing your information for malicious intent.
I would like to know that,
Q.1 Is it compulsory for web hosting providers to get SSL Certification?
Q.2 Certificate Authority who issued the certificate, the root and the country it was issued in ?

Been doing a lot of reading the last 2 days before posting. The popular host atm for "affordable" hosting seems to be Hostgator, however it seems there might be an issue with them and the shopping cart I use.
See the dialog below and please let me know any alternatives that will not have the same issue (other than CyberLNC, $20-$30 a month seems steep for an average hosting account with very little bandwidth or storage). My cart contains a lot of large images and while I dont need unlimited storage/bandwidth, I do need some.
(12:02:39 AM) Tirade: Here is the comment I found. "Hosting - Be careful of the permission limits that some host providers have. CS-Cart recommends a setting of 777. I have just moved from Hostgator to CyberLNC as Hostgator could only use a setting of 755 - whilst there is documentiation to show that it should work, I was receiving 500 server errors and my payment gateway wouldn't work. I'm a big fan of Hostgator, their service is excellent, but they just weren't configured for CS-Cart unfortunately and I had to move."
(12:05:38 AM) Davon Da: There are many scripts which state that 777 permissions are needed, but since we due use a suExec envoirment, 777 files are not allowed
The hosting requirements (other than the ability to set permission limits to 777), would be speed, mysql, php5, and price.

I've been poking around here for a few evenings trying to find someone else who's asked just the same question I need to ask, but I'm not really seeing it.
My situation is this. I am writing a website in ASP.Net 2.0 for a small business. I do web development for a living, so the database admin, asp/vb.net coding is not an issue. However, I've never dealt with the hosting side of things.
I need the following:
1) ability to host two different domains using some shared DLLs that provide funtionality used by both sites. I've read that some hosting companies won't let you put DLLs on their servers, so I'm not sure if I can do this.
2) Ability to send and recieve e-mails at "mydomain.com". I think this is a no-brainer.
3) Ability to use SQL Server express.
4) We will be taking orders with credit card numbers, so I need to be able to do HTTPS and I need to know my data will be secure.
5) obviously, I need a server that has the .Net 2.0 framework on it.

I'm getting a new site made within the next couple of months and I need a new host for my current site now.
My new site will be a bespoke e-commerce website.
I've been looking at VPS hosting as I've been told it will be faster, and more secure. Just how much more secure is a VPS server? Is it worth it?
I'm currently on a shared host now, and haven't had any problems with the speed/security etc. But I expect my site to grow and get more hits/bandwidth used.
Does anybody have any recommendations for a VPS host? I'm not after a huge amount of bandwidth or webspace, I can't get any details of what I'm currently getting now, hence the change of host, but it's not a huge shop so it shouldn't need much, I'd expect 5/10gb web space and 100gb bandwidth to be sufficient, maybe even less. O ye.. it's just for 1 site only too, so I don't need a control panel to manage other domains if that makes sense.
Main things i'll be after:
I will be sending a lot of Newsletters, I currently have 654 signed up and in the future I'd be wanting to send newsletters 1-2 times per month with double the amount of people signed up now. So I need a server that can handle this. And handle a lot of incoming e-mails, as my current server just ran out of space and stopped incoming mail.
A fast server
Reliable
Half decent customer support
I'm not a guru on all this so some kind of managed service, I won't know what to do if I have to constantly change things, but I don't even know if I'd have to, I just like the thought that somebody is there to sort it if I don't have a clue/goes wrong.
Some kind of control panel to manage e-mail users etc, like on a shared plan.
A secure server.
Something with all the PHP and MYsql database lark so my website will actually work. I don't know exactly what the programmers are using though.
I'm also worried about a company overselling, to me 200gb of bandwidth on vps hosts seems a lot, I don't want to be told I'm getting something then be cut off after I've used 10gb and them going "there is a fair usage policy".
The main reason for this post is my budget, it's only £20/$10 per month. And I'm in the UK if it helps to get a UK host.
If you think I really don't require a vps host and a shared option will be ok and be fast enough, let me know and any recommendations.
Also, would "128MB Dedicated Memory, 512MB Burst Memory" be good enough or is that just rubbish? I take it that just gives the site the operating speed depending on the usage at that time.

I've always been a seller that's primarily used PayPal only.. However, on my next online venture, we're stepping it up a grade and will be implementing a full CMS system, an e-commerce cart module (or platform in its entirety) and security through SSL certification.
I've taken a look at the SSL certificates offered by eNom and was wondering what you all thought would be the cheapest certificate that is suitable and ready for e-commerce that will process credit cards, etc.
Certainly the more expensive, I can assume is more feature and security laden, but just wanted to know what you all feel is a good balance of price, security and readiness for e-commerce.

Attached is a (badly) drawn diagram of two sites, connected by a vpn.
The site to the left, is network 10.0.0.0/24 which runs a linux server as the router for the network.
The site to the right, is network 10.1.0.0/24 which runs a windows 2003 server as the router for the network.
Now, my problem is, the clients behind the windows 2003 server can ping any machine on the first network because i setup a static route to route all traffic to 10.0.0.0/24 over the vpn interface.
now, my problem is, only the linux server can ping any machine on the windows 2003 network, any client behind the linux server cant seem to route over the interface.
I have the following route on the linux server: .....

Starting point: a working site using a shared IPv4, dedicated IPv6, and SSL. HTTP and HTTPS work, the latter only using SNI of course.
The good news: If I simply allocate an IP resource of 1 to a subscription it is pulled from the pool, assigned to the service node, assigned to the web site, DNS is updated, and the site is automatically changed to using a Dedicated IPv4 and Dedicated IPv6.
The bad news: visitors land on the default web site of the service node, with the default SSL certificate.
Other info: I can't ping the new IP, even though it shows in "ip a l" and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0. [edited]
After the IP assignment, it is still installed, and /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/ip_default/domainname.conf shows the new certificate is being used.
However, a second set of VirtualHost entries is created in server.conf for this IP for ports 80 and 443, with NameVirtualHost enabled on the new IP. The port 443 entry uses the default certificate. Apache's setup this default VirtualHost entry will override the web site configuration because Apache is listening on port 443 with the wrong cert.
If I go to "Change webspace settings" and toggle to Shared IPv4, Dedicated IPv6 the site works again via HTTPS, and Dedicated IPv4 and Dedicated IPv6 breaks it again. Setting the SSL cert to None and back again does not work.
Setting the SSL cert to None, changing to a dedicated IP, and enabling SSL results in the server being inexplicably inaccessible...browsers no longer connect to either the default site or the correct site, and I don't see any entries in the vhosts's logs.

I'm on a short assignment to inventory and manage the fixed assets of a small company, and we've just bought a web-based database for this purpose. While I'm pretty good at administering/running local databases, the web part has me stymied. Our company is between IT people, and there's no one on site with any more idea than I have about what's going on!!
Here's what I have so far:
--The company has a website which I'll call "ourwebsite.org" -- which I think, from searching the IP address the website points to, is hosted by HostMySite.com.
--There's also a record in DNS Management with the same name (ourwebsite.org), but pointing to our little server's local IP address.
--I need to find a way to get my database -- which I can access on the network at (server's IP address)/database (ie 0.0.00.0/database) -- online. I tried creating records in DNS Management (for ex., assets.ourwebsite.org) that point to our server's IP (the one that, if I type it in on the network, I can get to the site I'm looking for), but get generic "can't find the page" or "can't connect to the server" errors, even after 72 hours, when trying to access it from off the network.
--If I browse to assets.ourwebsite.org/database on the server itself, I get to the website! But if I go to that page from any other computer, on or off the network, it doesn't work.
--The Server is running Windows Server 2003
So, what are my options? Do I have to talk to the HostMySite.com people to add this page? Shouldn't I just be able to use my server's name (ourcompanyadc.ourcompany.org) and have that route to the server? What's going on here! Is there a simple way to get a tiny local-server-hosted website online outside of the network?

I just transferred a domain from one cpanel box to another.
Now, that site is showing someone else's page. I've seen this happen before, but I cannot remember the fix.
the virtual host in httpd.conf is fine, shows proper IP, username, docroot, etc
Dns zone is fine as well.
The domain is using the server's main IP, so that's not the cause.
Centos 5 / cpanel 11 / apache 1.3 / php 4x

I found the CPU/MEM/MySQL usage in cPanel (how have I missed it before and when talking with my host (fully managed Liquideb VPS2 768MB RAM 1024 Burst (though it reads it as that I think). Anyways it seems my friends sites are using allot of CPU and RAM. See attached screenshot. He is paying for shared hosting but I was stupid to give him unlimited sites but 1GB space 10GB bandwidth. Am I over reacting, or his his $16/month or 1% of available space (based on 95GB for paying sites) is he using too much?
Here's the screenshot. He is FIshbon, Empower, and rhea and both sites are drupal (along with 2 of my sites one being macwrite and the other personal).

I am doing a site for a local charity. I have decided to create it with the Joomla! CMS. Now, currently the old site (frontpage) is hosted on a Zeus system (whatever that is!).
Does anyone know about this type of host and if its compatible?
I have Joomla hosted locally at the moment to start development but have no idea if its going to work or what configuration will need to be done when I try to port it over.
The only thing they have told me is that I will have to destroy the old site to get the new one up and running (because of Frontpage settings).

A client's site was hacked last week and spyware or some kind of trojan was put on it. I found some files that didn't belong in the images folder and proceeded to delete them, however, when I submitted the site back to Google for review, the report came back saying there was still malware on the site. They didn't provide me with the location of the spyware, so what can I do to find it and delete it?

One of my clients has just sent me a bounced email to an address she had never heard of. This made me suspect my server had been hacked and was being used for a scam.
Sure enough, I found a file in one of my folders, that was related to a Bank of America scam.
I have since put a password on this folder. But does anyone have any advice on how to secure the site to prevent this happening again? It is a shopping cart and the 'rogue' file was in the admin area of the shopping cart.

I had a client ask me earlier if there was any downsides to having his main site be SSL only ,not his billing his actual site.
For exmaple it would be https://www.yoursite.com rather than the normal http and having that redirect to the https.
Obviously he would need all his images being linked to https in order for it to be secure but apart from that, I couldn't think of any of the top of my head, I was wondering what you guys all thought.

As somebody who has bought the 'Build Your Own ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Using C# & VB' by CRISTIAN DARIE and ZAK RUVALCABA, I wonder what Hosting deals are considered the best and most user friendly (robust and support).
By this I mean, the most competitive for users like me who are just learning the technology and maybe want to set up some basic book examples online using SQL 2005.
