i currently have a reseller server in the states but ive seen for the money im paying (and im not using the space actually) i can get a VPS server here in the UK which i can combine for webhosting and other development projects. I am after a UK based VPS for the following requirements:
Host 15 websites
Access the box remotely and dial-in to the box which needs to be configured as a VPN server (the box will act as a router, i presume masquerading on eth0 for the connected vpn clients to go out through the server and onto the net).
Traffic will not be too high, maybe around 75GB per month.
Around 3-4 websites run forums on (small size phpbb) and the other sites are again small and mostly used for email.
I will need full root access and maximum configurability.
Preferably Suse 10 as i have worked with that before but i am open to suggestions on other OS. I need to configure the pppd service and easier this is via the OS the less time i have to dig in scripts and terminal! I wouldnt mind windows but on a VPS this will be a resource drain so i am happy to get more performance from the box by sticking with smaller footprint of linux.
Plesk for website management, or cpanel, i dont mind either way.
I dont however know how much CPU/RAM i will need, what is a sensible amount? I dont think my requirements are too strenuous, what would be a good sensible amount of RAM to select to allow me to host say 50 web sites in future?
I have heard good things on the forums for the following:
a2b2.com
cheapvps.co.uk
1and1.co.uk
I know you get what you pay for so i do need something reliable, but if people say the service from the above sellers is good i will go for them as the price is fantastic. It would be great to hear of other recommendations also.
I have a Windows Server 2003 package installed on a server. I own a number of websites that are being hosted some place else. How do I get my websites set-up to run on my new server?
I have a client with a site (wordpress blog) that gets 10,000 + hits a day. I need to find him a dedicated managed server so that his site runs smoothly and also has no outages. I just received a quote from another host for his Managed Dedicated Servers.
CPU1: Intel Xeon 5310 Clovertown (Quad Core) CPU2: Intel Xeon 5310 Clovertown (Quad Core) Total CPU Cores: Eight (8) System RAM: 6144MB (6GB) DDR2 ECC Registered System RAM Primary Hard Disk: 73GB Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 15,000 RPM High-Performance Hard Disk Second Hard Disk: 250GB SATA-II 7,200 RPM Hard Disk (nightly backup disk) Data Transfer: 2000GB Premium Monthly Bandwidth (100Mbps uplinked port) Operating System: CentOS Enterprise Linux 5 64-Bit (x86_64) Control Panel License: cPanel / WHM + Fantastico Auto Installer$695 a month
He posts about 5-10 blogs a day too, so it's definitely a growing community website. He also has a forum with 6500 posts and 389 members.
Is this a reasonable price for a dedicated server? Would you recommend a different configuration of hardware that might make it cheaper? I would also like some examples of other sites on similar configurations if you have any, so that I can show my client what they use.
A lot of people start off with a dedicated server when they first start their website because they feel they will eventually need it anyway. They also don't want to go through the trouble of transferring their website in the future. Do you think it's wise for a new website to do this or do you feel they should start off with shared hosting and then transfer their website after it already has a lot of traffic?
I set up my own webserver earlier this year using a dedicated server from my hosting company (IIS, win2003), for some reason two of my websites on there are not being listed by Google (or any search engine) at all. Could there be something wrong in my setup that can cause this to happen?
When i try to open any website hosted on my server (around 50 of them) i am being taken to following malware website;
[url] [url] This is a problem with my Limnux server running Apache and not a virus on my local computer as customers from all over are reporting the same issue.
As soon as i restart Apache eveything returns to normal with no such redirects.
I think my server is being attacked causing http requests to get redirected to some malicious website.
This issue would resurface almost every hour and would not go away till i restart apache.
So far my Datacenter techs. have not been able to identify the cause of this.
I am running Plesk Version: 12.0.18 on CentOS.Earlier today my service provider had a massive issue and my server was down for several hours. Upon it being back online i've restarted but now I cannot load any of my pages. I have 10 domains setup and if I ping their name servers or the server IP i get packets received now.
One of my installed domains is [URL] ... now if you try and load this url you get a time out but if you try to access admin page URL....None of the subscriptions are able to load their websites when i type in their URL and well it worked before it went down.
I want to save the access logs of our websites on an external server. If I do this now with the default setup, the gets overwritten every day. The desired file name format whould be: websitedomain-tld-access-2014-10-24.log
How can I tell Plesk to do this and how can I make sure the statistics keep working?
We are migrating an existing multi-site Windows2003/IIS6 web hosting system with
CFusion8 MS Access backend databases SQL2000 backend databases http and https site access
to
Windows2012 R2/IIS8.5 with CFusion10 MS Access backend databases (not updated) SQL2014 databases http and https site access
On the new system we are looking to add Plesk12 to give users easier management of their own websites.I am about to install the trail version of Plesk12 WebHOST.I have the following questions:
1. Can we use the plesk migration tool to move the websites from the old IIS6 to the new IIS8.5 server? 2. If not, am I right to think we would migrate from IIS6 to IIS8.5 manually and then import these websites into Plesk12 from the new server? 3. Can I migrate the existing websites piecemeal over onto the new server and into the Plesk control panel at the same time as creating brand new websites under the control panel? 4. Once Plesk is installed on the new IIS server is there a KB article on how to add all these existing websites to Plesk - I could not find one. 5. Is the local windows administrator account used for the install used to run any services?
Every now and then I'll run into a website that has a message that says it was hacked by a certain hacker. How exactly do this? Do they hack into the actual server or do they somehow get a hold of the website owners FTP info?
how many websites can stand on VPS with following configurations?
I'm asking this because Can I install whm reselling script like whmphp? or WHM Reseller creator?
It enables to create master reseller and whm reseller respectively. So there will be huge number of websites, databases, emails hosted on VPS So which one to choose?
1. Disk space - 10 GB Bandwidth - 200 GB Burst. RAM - 256 MB Gurnt. RAM - 128 MB Max CPU Usage (per CPU) - 80 % OS - CentOS 5.3
2. Disk space - 20 GB Bandwidth - 400 GB Burst. RAM - 512 MB Gurnt. RAM - 256 MB Max CPU Usage (per CPU) - OS - CentOS 5.3
3. Disk space - 30 GB Bandwidth - 800 GB Burst. RAM - 1024 MB Gurnt. RAM - 512 MB Max CPU Usage (per CPU) - OS - CentOS 5.3
I have three domains that I want to host myself on my own computer. Two are temporary sites that I only put up on Memorial Day weekend for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival or Movement 09 to direct people to my after parties and the other site is a two page bio site for myself. I have a very tight budget this year and I can't afford to pay for web hosting all year round when these are only temporary sites even though I own the domain names all year round. I do know some of the promoters for the festival do the hosting themselves.
I'm not sure why my brand new dual proc quad core xeon 2.5ghz harpertown gets time out when the server load is under .5
Like it'll be running ultra fast and suddenly, I can't get into ssh, whm, my websites or anything. When I ping it, no reponse. Is it because it restarted itself?
Just out of curiosity, do the big boys deploy hosting solutions that are different from the ones we know?
They never complain of Network Outages or Hardware failure. How come the likes of Yahoo, Facebook, Youtube and the others are always there any second you need them?
what are all the different types of websites? i know there's e-commerce, forums, blogs, personal and etc. what are some other types of websites people start?
This is a little wierd, I am not able to see any of my websites on my home network, but from anywhere else it seems too load just fine. Even when i go through a proxy site they load. I'm still able to get to WHM and cPanel from my home but the websites themself do not load.
this started happing yesturday and after a few hours it seemed to work again on its own.
i have a reseller account with canaca.com the safe mode &security mode are on! and everythings was great! till those hackers bastards appeared! they somehow could upload a php shell files to my websites! and then they deleted everythings in 4 of my websites! i contact my tech support and they restored my websites and i checked that there is no shell files! next day,my websites hacked again and there was i php shell files in them! i deleted those god damn files and i deleted the page that the hackers put in my websites! you security is zero,and we will hacked the entire server.., but after 3 hours the pages returned and the shell files are there! i dont belive that! the unbelivable this is that when i want to run those php shell files the safe mode stoped them doing anythings! so how can those bastards do what they do?how can they ulpload the files in the first place? is there any soultions to this problem! cause i restored my websites about 3 times now and everyting i restore it they hacked it again and again!
I think I broke my server. I was trying to install Zend Optimizer, but it didn't work.
After doing some research, I found out that I needed to disable selinux. After doing so, I rebooted. Then I installed Zend Optimizer and rebooted again.
Since then, all my websites have been inaccessible. I can access my server through Plesk control panel, but connection to my websites just timeout.
What can I do to fix this?
Edit : I can access my sites via FTP as well.
Edit 2 : I tried starting Apache with the following command :
Quote:
/sbin/service httpd start
...but it keeps on telling me that the service is already in use. It seems like TCP is bound to port 80.
