USB Stick As Virtual CD
Jun 6, 2008
I have a server, with KVM over IP but without virtual media.
It would be nice if i can install the OS from a usb stick but i have some requirements:
It has to be some sort of net install since i cannot update the USB stick in the future, but it has to install each time the newest OS version.
It also would be very nice if i can choose between different OS’es
for example:
[1] Newest CentOS version
[2] Newest Fedora version
[3] Newest Debian version
Etc, i am still learning, so it would be helpful for me to learn different distributions.

VPS or Dedicated Server?? Or stick with shared hosting?
I currently use a shared hosting reseller account with HostGator for $24.95 which gives me 24 GB disk space and 250 GB RAM and allows me to host unlimited domains. It has cPanel, WHM and it is managed. I've used them for two years and they are awesome! Currently, I have about 20 very small domains hosted under my hosting account: all are very small and require no bandwidth or disk space whatsoever. EXCEPT, I have two or three domains which are solely used for e-commerce which is why I am considering upgrading to a VPS or dedicated-server.Background on the business:Users visit the site (300 visitors a day) and use the shopping cart to place an order for the software which ranges from $50-$300. An account is created for them in which they can login to download the software packages which range from 10 MB to 100 MB file size. They then install it on their computer and activate it with the license key number. Upon activation, the installed software connects with our backend of our website to update their account with their computers fingerprint. Each time the software is executed, their computer connects with our licensing server to verify legitimate usage. Our backend has access to their billing information and licensing; therefore, security is a must.We have about 4,000 users. Recently, with the business growing, I am not sure if I should be looking for a VPS or dedicated-server solution. With HostGator I'm paying $300 a year (and everything is running seamlessly). Or, I can switch to VPS for $500/yr and dedicated server for $2000/year. My budget is open, though I don't want to get anything that is overkill for the logistics of my business. What I current use and need:*Space: Up to 10 GB *Bandwidth: Up to 100 GB*Reliable, 99.9%+ uptime and MANAGED server*Daily backups*Good support (i.e. installing SSL certs, firewall)*Secure*cPanel*Allow me to host other my other non-business websites (1 big forum with 500 visitors/day and 19 very small parked sites) *IONCube support*I will have to get SSL for a few of my sites. And for that, I’ll need dedicated IP addresses. I would prefer if there is a VPS or dedicated server solution which has a package for multiple dedicated IP addressesQuestions:1) For my business, would you recommend VPS or dedicated-server or do you think I am fine with what the shared hosting reseller account with HG I have already? If a VPS or dedicated server is justified, which provider do you recommend that suits my needs?2) Will I truly see a notable and significant improvement by upgrading from my current state to a VPS or dedicated server?3) Will I need a firewall to ensure security for the 4,000 clients? How can I optimize the security of my clients?4) Privacy is a very important concern (not that I'm doing anything illegal). I use GoDaddy to do a private whois so it does not reveal my name or address. If I switch to VPS or dedicated server, should I be concerned that people can use the IP address of the website to identify me? What approaches can I take to protect my privacy?5) What do you think of slicehost.com? I was recommended to use this. I thought maybe the 256 slice plan would be appropriate for me, but I don't know what linux distribution to use: Ubuntu, CentOs, Fedora, Gentoo, Debian, etc. Heck, I don't even know the differences and I don't plan on playing around with anything on the server.I really appreciate your help in this matter. I am a totally newbie when it comes to this hosting stuff.

I would like to understand what is the difference between VPS and a VDS. I understand they sound the same, however from a cost stand point VPS is way cheaper than VDS, and I am not very sure of the reason.

I have a few hundred domains that I would like to set as "parked" domains on my server, so basically all domains will point to the same http folder (or the same index.php file). I'm using apache, would this be a matter of setting up virtual hosts?

I'm installing a script that's suppose to act as a payment gateway/store. The script requires the virtual path to the secured directory holding the products and everything I've tried doesn't work! It should be something like /home/username/public_html/secured where username is replaced with my username. I'm hosting with godaddy and have tried just about everything on this page: help.godaddyDOTCOM/article.php?article_id=1360 without any luck. Any ideas or experience with this? I'm on the economy plan with godaddy.

I have a .htaccess file that redirects all requests to index.php allowing me to make virtual directories (URI looks like www.domain.com/foo/bar):
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* index.php
but I cannot think of a way, how to make subdomain like wap.domain.com/foo/bar/ to show the same as www.domain.com/foo/bar/ . If it's possible I would tike that the URI would be shown with the subdomain that entered user (e.g. wap) but it would show the same info.
I've tried to put this .htaccess file to wap subdomain:
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule wap.domain.com/(.*) www.comain.com/index.php
but it works only for wap.domain.com ant for wap.domain.com/whatever/

We are looking of going with a VPS hosting for a secure dealer site. We won't need massive amounts of space, but bandwidth is more a concern, as we may need to serve video files for demos and such.
These are the 4 companies we are considering going with:
EV1Servers
ServerPowered
SteadFastNnetworks
PowerVPS
Has anybody here used any of these hosts? What have been your experiences with them?

I use Virtuozzo with layeredtech, and since I'm on the move anyway, thought I'd like to try out some different Virtualization products before the migration.
Allot of these products like bare-metal installs though... which is why I'm particularly looking for "virtual media" on the KVM.

Someone had mentioned a way to use virtual apache configs, this way you wouldn't have to reboot apache each time you add a new domain to your box.
Can you tell me what dso I need to use?
Also is there a conversion tool to grab the configs you have now, and migrate them to the external files?

I just have a question about an Apache 2.0 error. I am running a web host and I am using VHCS for my web hosting control panel which creates virtual hosts in Apache's config files. Whenever I have a certain number of virtual hosts (200 or more roughly) Apache will start giving me problems with no messages about what went wrong. Some examples of what Apache does is that it will crash when I run "apache2ctl restart" or it just won't run when I start it sometimes. It really annoys me since I'm wondering if it's an Apache memory issue. Any ideas on what to do or how to solve this dilemma?

When you set up a new domain you have to write a new virtual host to httpd.conf... then you have to restart the Apache... Is their a way to do this without the restart. Surely a big ISP doesn't restart Apache every time a new domain is added.

What is the difference between virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server?
I know that a dedicated server means you have the physical computer as your server whileas virtual dedicated server means that they separate the physical computer into various parts and you have control over one of those separated parts.
But my question is mainly on the functionality of a virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server.
What can you do on a dedicated server that you can't do on a virtual dedicated server?

I have been with Blue Virtual (bluevirtual.com) for many years, since the Communitech days. However, the service these past few weeks has gone downhill big time.
The BV forums are dead, the webhosting is up and down like a yoyo, mail is intermittent.
Not just me but fellow users are experiencing the same.
Support tickets are going unanswered (accounts & tech. support).

I have 5 ip address from my isp and i want to assign each domain an ip address for ssl cert reasons. The server is behind a 2wire router. I have assigned the server one of the static ips 217.xxx.xxx.37. On the server i have created virtual ips on the one network card eth0 - ie eth0:0, eth0:1, eth0:2, eth0:3. In the control panel at my domain registrar i have assigned an ip address each to a domian ie domain1.com -> 217.xxx.xxx.37, domain2.com -> 217.xxx.xxx.38, domain3.com -> 217.xxx.xxx.39, domain4.com -> 217.xxx.xxx.40.
My question is since the server is known as 217.xxx.xxx.37 on the router, how will the router know that all request to 217.xxx.xxx.38, 217.xxx.xxx.39, 217.xxx.xxx.40 should be handled by 217.xxx.xxx.37?

I've been doing some research and thought why not split the server into a bunch of virtual servers so I can offer both windows and linux hosting.
What is the best option for doing this?
I've come across VMware Server but also noticed centOS has "Virtualization provided by the Xen hypervisor with Virtual Machine Manager"
Assuming I go with splitting the server up, do I create a virtual centOS server and install cPanel on that one or on the main install?
Totally new to virtualization.

Basically I need to virtualize a single new dell server. One virtual server needs to run windows 2003 server standard and Microsoft SQL 2005. The other virtual server will run CentOS Linux with a perl and PostgreSQL application.
The dell server is going to have two quad core xeon processors (8 cores total), 8gigs of ram, and two 15,000rpm SAS drives.
I came across Virutal Iron which is free for the single server instance and seems like it will do the job well. Has anybody used it? What is performance like? Seems to run a Java backend so wondering about the performance there.
Any other recommendations? I looked at VMware but the cost is so high, and probably more then I need, since I only need to virtualize a single server.

explain our setup.
We have an in house centOS linux developer box running apache 2.x
We have our own on-site router/switch setup etc.
We host our external website whatever.com with Networksolutions
On our whatever.com DNS (via network solutions). We have our domain subscriber.whatever.com pointing to our external IP address. subscriber.whatever.com -> xx.xx.xx.xx
In our router configuration we have subscriber.whatever.com forwarding to our CentOS linux development box. it's forwarding to the internal network IP address 10.xx.xx.xx
However we want the box to redirect someone when they come in on subscriber.whatever.com... We basically want it to redirect them to subscriber.whatever.com:port/folder/
Preferably masked so that all someone would see is subscriber.whatever.com but they're actually at subscriber.whatever.com:port/folder/
Unfortunately network solutions's setup won't allow us to easily do this so we have to do it somehow locally.
Anyone have any suggestions? I've got this working on the box itself (if you goto the site on the box via gnome) however externally or on another system on our internal network it's a no go.
