Unresponsive Dedicated IP
Oct 12, 2009
I recently purchased a Dedicated Server, and this is the first time I have ever used a Dedicated Server before, although I do have some experience with Linux. The problem I am having is that if you assign an Unused Dedicated IP to a domain using WHM the entire website that is assigned to that IP becomes inaccessible. I am able to ping the Dedicated IP, but that's about it. So the problem is probably that the Dedicated IP isn't pointing to the proper location where the website is, if you use the Server IP everything works fine.
So my question is what do I have to do to fix the problem and point the Dedicated IP to the proper location? Is it something that the Host has to do for you or is it just a simple file edit as root? I am using CentOS 5.3 64-bit as my Operating System with cPanel/WHM as my Control Panel.

I've run into an issue lately with a few servers that I support and I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions on how to approach the issue?
Scenario:
The server will stop responding to new network connections, I can ping it, but nothing more. When the DC looks at the server, they find the error " Out of Memory " on the console.
What is a good approach to troubleshooting these?
Here is what I do, if I'm off base, I'm here to learn and will read
find / -name "core.*" -ls | egrep core.[0-9]
**try and find software failure
df -h
**validate disk usage
** check /var/log/messages /var/log/dmesg
If I can't find anything obvious in those places, I start digging through the access_logs and error_log to try and find a giant influx of requests that could have hit the server too quickly to process thus filling the memory up.
In this case, I adjust the rlimits.
*shrug* This is not fixing the issue on a few servers and I'm curious how other people approach this problem? Could this be hardware?

I can't say that I can recommend CheapVPS's (VAServ) services to anyone. In the end of July, I bought a VPS from them.
Had some initial troubles with the set up - they accidently set up 2 VPS's for me and set the wrong amount of memory, but that was solved by sending a support ticket. Wanted Debian instead of CentOS, another support ticket.
In the end of August, I canceled it - mostly because I didn't need it anymore. However, September already came and I was charged for the VPS. I sent a ticket to their billing department asking for a refund, and they gave it to me, no problem there.
I go on with everyday life, until October comes. I guess I forgot to cancel the PayPal subscription for my VPS because I'm charged for it once again. I promptly cancel the subscription and fire off a support ticket.
This time, they're insanely slow to respond to this. I sent a ticket in on Oct 1. and I get a response on the 8th: they ask me for a PayPal transaction ID. I send it to them, and I haven't received any reply since.
On Oct. 15 I tried adding a new comment to my support ticket, but I still have not received any response.
Today, I try to nag their live chat salesperson and they tell me that they've "added a note on my ticket for the billing department".

I've been having this problem for the past week: everyday in the afternoon my dedicated server goes unresponsive for about an hour or so--you can FTP into it (upload and download work fine) and access the control panel, but it refuses to serve up any webpages / files through the browser (no one can access my site). Meanwhile the CPU / RAM seems to be just sitting there being completely unused. This problem just starts by itself and then goes away by itself somewhat regularly. Restarting the server has no effect on this.
I'm puzzled as to what the problem could possibly be or how I can fix it--any ideas? My server's running Fedora 6 / GoDaddy control panel.

Server load is under 1, nearly 0 io.
Ping between 200-300, normally it is around 50.
DC says their network is fine and it is my server.
So load under 1, almost no hard drive access, why is the ping so high?

Has anyone had any more luck getting a response to either tickets or emails from Burton Hosting since the last thread here, which is months old? Our uptime remains decent, but with absolutely no responses to tickets (we have many outstanding by now) or emails (both to the standard network and support addresses and to individuals personally), and their phones disconnected, we of course are very concerned, and will probably be forced to look for a new host (I just hate the hassle!!) when our contract expires next month.
I did find in another forum posts about a Virante Marketing fiasco in which Burton was falsifying reviews, etc.---this does NOT sound like the Burton I knew before.
While we have exploratory emails out to DreamHost and a few others, I was hoping someone here would know a way to contact Burton---I just hate not knowing!

I have Apache 2.2 installed on Windows to host a web2py application using wsgi.
Apache crashed once stating it had run out of worker threads, so I inscreased ThreadsPerChild to 500. It has since crashed/become unresponsive without giving anything in the error log.
I set up mod_status, and am looking for understanding what I see when looking at server-status page.
It says 135 requests currently being processed, 365 idle worker. However I don't think there are 135 people connected.
Here's the request lines:
SrvPIDAccMSSReqConnChildSlotClientVHostRequest
0-1253840/0/0W138495448300.00.000.00
... the line above is repeated identically 125 times
0-1253840/32/32W000.00.460.46127.0.0.1dalgety-svr8.havelock.intGET /server-status HTTP/1.1
0-1253840/0/0W52400.00.000.00192.168.202.109dalgety-svr8.havelock.intGET /HubForms/ProjectFolderIndexing/index HTTP/1.1
[Code] ....
Question:
1) What are those 125 requests, and why are they not exiting. Are they anything to worry about? why is there no Client/VHost/Request? Could they be from the python process? Could they be what's causing the issue?
2) The Acc entry 0/121/121 on /HubForms/capacity_requests/index - is this representative of an issue?
3) When I restart Apache, it typically says "Terminating 375 threads that failed to exit" but that number doesn't match up with anything. Are these the idle threads?
Also I'm not sure what "restart" actually means, i.e. what stops and what stays (i.e. why am I on generation 0-12?).
4) Is any of this anything to do with why Apache becomes unresponsive, or should I be looking elsewhere?

Many a times websites hosted on my Red Hat Linux server would not open even though Apache and everthing else is up and running. When i hit reload on browser 4-5 times the website would load or i have to restart Apache and everything starts working normally.
Today when this problem resurfaced i did not restart Apache and looked for in apache logs and saw this strange entry in apache Error Log;
[client my.ip.xx.xx] script '/my/website/httproot/mdqt.php' not found or unable to stat
The above was in apache Error Log, above is my ip address, and i never requested a file named mdqt.php, in fact no file by the name mdqt.php even exist on my entire server.
I then looked for mdqt.php in error logs and saw several requests made for this file and from various IP addresses.
i understand this is what causes my http to die.

OSCentOS 5.6 (Final)
Panel version11.0.9 Update #61
The system is up-to-date; last checked at June 6, 2014 03:32 AM
I use pingdom to alert me when sites go down. It would happen only once every few weeks, and I'd just reboot the VPS from my provider's control panel, however in the last 24 hours it has started doing it more and more often. The only change I have made in this time is to delete a few unused web sites.
When I get alerted, I check the the domains and they won't load. I look at the plesk control panel page thought and that does work.
I can SSH in, but I can't see anything that might work in the messages log.
I removed the plesk control panel error as that only seemed to happen once and is not happening anymore.
I saw quite a few entries in the /var/log/secure log and so I added iptables rules to only allow SSH access from my own IP and to DROP all other requests. It seemed fine for a while, but after 12 hours it has started becoming unresponsive again until reboot.

Some information about my forum:
I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.
The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.
Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?
The server I am looking at has these stats:
E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management
The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.
Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?

I have an account that is going from a shared hosting account to a dedicated with theplanet and I want to transfer it. Concerns I have is that the site is using an SSL. What things do I need to watch out for when transferring. Since I don't have root access I will have to do this transfer with the account function, correct?
This site has a database and SSL, so I thought it would hopefully be easier to use the cpanel account migration tool

What would you classify this as? Seems like it's the in-between for VPS and dedicated with completely reserved resources and much higher storage capacities than VPS can offer.
Personally, if it runs a hypervisor or container is a VPS but this sure does blur the lines a bit.

I am currently using a shared hosting but due to increasing traffic and server load my existing host is not able to provide reliable services and I am planning to upgrade my hosting service.
While I was searching for Dedicated Servers, I learnt about Virtual Dedicated Servers but I am not very sure about their reliability? Are Virtual Dedicated Servers useful? My website current serves over 2500-3000 visitors a day resulting in 30,000 pageviews and I am expecting the traffic to grow by atleast 2 folds in the next few months as I start some PPC campaigns and Email Marketing for my website. Can a Virtual Dedicated Server cater such needs assuming my website to be more of less dynamic website written in php?

VPS or Dedicated from SDX
I'm running a Joomla site with about 15,000 page views/day on JaguarPC at present. Its a mainly passive content - no message boards or applications. They disabled my site stating that CPU/Database use is too much. Should I move to a VPS or Dedicated server now ? Budget range $50-75/month.

I am tossing around the idea of moving from my dedicated server to a VPS server. This is due to my ever growing server needs.
Currently, I use a small percent of a $400 softlayer server, about 500gig disk space and 2tb bandwidth. Is this too big for a VPS? Is there anything special I need to take into consideration for the move?
I was also wondering if other VPS's on the same server would slow down mine or if I would just allocated a % witch would be reserved for me.

I have a master reseller account with a host and i ordered a dedicated IP address so i can install a SSL certificate, I have not done this before so just wanted some info.
Its been over 24 hours from when my host transfered my IP to my account and my website keeps showing some other website o my laptop and if i check it on 1 of my other computers it shows the WHM & cPanel success page...
i know i have to leave it to set the new DNS etc but should it be showing another website? and how long does it take to set the new IP fully as my email and website is all offline

I'm just wondering what the prices are for lower end dedicated servers and how many websites you can fit on them?
(lets say each website is a small 5 to 10 page website with 200 meg space usage and 1 to 2 gig transfer per month)
I'm currently using reseller but once my client base is built rather than buy 5 or 6 reseller plans, I thought it'd be logic to simple upgrade to a dedi.
I know VPS are used for name servers and whatnot, how do they compare with low-end dedicated servers?

I'm in the middle of deciding on the hosting I'll use for a site I plan to launch in a month or so. The site is a web app built on Drupal (mysql 5 / php5). It is somewhat resource intensive, as thousands of rss and csv files are updated almost constantly. My last site I hosted across two VPS's, one for the DB and one for everything else. My main concern is scalability - being able to handle whatever is needed.
So I'm looking for some advice on what to do, trying to get the most power, and best scaling options - while trying to keep costs down. I can get a fairly powerful dedicated, fully managed, from liquidweb for around 230/mth. At that price, I thought maybe it would be better to have two VPS's. My experience in this area is limited so instead of running my mouth perhaps I'll let someone else suggest something..

I have a website with forum that has been doing pretty well. I'm presently using a shared hosting account and am considering moving up to a VPS because of anticipated future growth and the terrible service I have gotten from my hosting provider.
I have a graduate degree in IT but don't work in this field professionally. Because of this, I'm very good at coding in php, html, javascript, etc. but very terrible when it comes to network administration and my knowledge of unix and linux. But I know I can eventually learn. Because of this I already know I will go with a managed plan if I go VPS.
To be honest with you, after studying many posts on this site for the past few days, I was convinced I would go with a VPS account with either Knownhost or Wiretree since they have managed VPS. However, I have seen one post in the VPS Forum here where one person said his site, which included a forum, was on a dedicated server and at times with 100 users logged into his forum at one time his server could barely keep up.
I am presently getting about 2.5 million hits per month (80,000 hits per day) with about 22,000 page views per day. However, I only have about 500 members in my forum and on average only about 30 logged in at any given time. I get about 5000 unique IPs coming to my website each month. My bandwidth usage is less than 20 GB per month. To me it doesn't really seem that I need a dedicated server but my site is growing steadily.
So it made me question my decision about moving to a VPS plan. Maybe I need to consider a dedicated plan?

I have a dedicated server running all my services, including Plesk (WWW, FTP, DNS, etc), E-mail (SMTP, POP, Antispam, webmail) and database (MySQL and SQL Server).
I´m thinking to break this dedicated Server in 4 VPS (** Windows VPS, powered by Microsoft Virtual Server **) to do a better load balance (where a service don’t affect performance of another), increase services uptime (since each of them will be isolated) and increase scalability (since I will be able to move each VPS to Virtual Dedicated Servers when needed - like PowerVPS's PowerXMS plans).
This is what I´m thinking to do:
- 1 VPS for Plesk (WWW, FTP, DNS, etc),
- 1 VPS for isolated web applications (WWW and FTP - no control panel)
- 1 VPS for E-mail (SMTP, POP, IMAP, Antispam and webmail)
- 1 VPS for database (MySQL and SQL Server)
I have some questions about it:
1) Do you think that breaking a dedicated server in some VPS is a good thing? The benefits that I mentioned above are correct (better load balance, increase services uptime, increase scalability)?
2) Do you know what software licenses must I lease to have the Plesk core in a server and the e-mail services on another server? Looking at SWSoft website I found some info about Plesk Expand, but it focused to expand the core of Plesk, having multiple Plesk instances hosting all services in all servers and it require a Linux SO, which I don’t want to have and admin. Do you know how can I separate the Plesk core from the e-mail services in 2 separated servers without having to lease a Linux VPS just to run Plesk Expand?
3) Do you if data traffic between VPSs are metered? (this change from a provider to another?)
4) Do you know if a Virtual Dedicated Server (1 dedicated server running 1 VPS) has significant loss of resources other whena comparaed to a dedicated server?

I was considering starting up a website with lots of information and I was wondering, should I get a dedicated IP? Its an extra $2.99 a month. It's not a lot of money, but is it WORTH it? I was thinking of using the godaddy hosting plan (economy one) for $3.99 a month (also cheap).
So can anyone tell me if its really that important to get? And yes, I'll upgrade the other hosting options as the site grows.

I used to work in an environment where there were many nodes into the local area network. Each node had a separate IP address and was visible on the Internet. Not all nodes were servers. Some were simply "dumb" terminals that connected.
Today what used to be known as the cpu part of the computer -- because there can now be two or more cpus [chips] in a single box, makes it a little confusing to talk about one server which assumes one cpu. To ease confusion-- I want to talk in terms of rack units. I am assuming each rack unit is a server.
My question[s]--
[1]Can a server [rack unit] have more than one IP address?
[2]Can an IP address represent more than server?
[3]Why do some hosting companines offer dedicated IP support for $2.99 more a month and others offer the same for over a hundred a month? Is it because the more costly dedicated servers allow owners to put whatever software on the server they want?
