View 14 RepliesI host a website for a customer that performs accounting functions for a variety of clients and produces daily/weekly reports for these clients. He wants to be able to provide a link on his website with the customer number and password for customers to be able to access their reports but doesn't want anyone else to be able to access these reports. What is the best method for doing this and can anyone point me to sample code.
He writes the reports with his software then prints them as a PDF file and sends them to www.hisdomain.com/reports and this is where the customer picks them up from.
While every decent host claims 99.99% uptime, its amazing why most rather almost all hosting companies fail to display the related statistics from independent source on their sites.

It happened in one directory, and I went into .htaccess and did DirectoryIndex index.php.... but now i'm wondering if its part of a bigger problem, because its happening to other folders now.
I've received the following offer to dedicated server. I'm planning to use it for small projects to begin with, and expand if potential exists.
That's the reason for my post today, I want to know if the deal presents decent value or not, and what could the server potentially be used for.
Celeron 3.2GHz
1GB Ram
1 X 80GB SATA 7200 HDD (after OS install, leaves about 55GB of usable space)
Direct Admin Control Panel
3Mbps / 3Mbps unmetered line. Roughly 900GB transfer per month.
$49.00 mo
If I were to build a 2.4 core 2 duo w/ 2gb ram and 4 x 500gb sata and 2 x 160 sata, both in raids. Do you guys think that would be above 2 amps usage? I was thinking maybe the efficient cpu would make up for the large amount of hard drives, all though their IO activity won't be that high. Maybe if someone has a similar setup they could shed me some light .

But the problem is that since I have many projects in mind, it may get a bit messy. I mean I'll get a different domain for all of them but how should I go about choosing hosts? One idea I have is to get one good(big space and high bandwidth) shared web hosting and use it for all of my domains. The advantage is that I'm not exactly sure about how much traffic my domains will get so it seems to make sense to get one big shared account for all of them. But if one of my websites starts getting lots of traffic, can I move it to another host and use the same domain? What would the disadvantages of doing that would be?

View 0 Replies View RelatedI have some small colo in an a DC that I have actual transfer basis on each server. Now they give me MRTG graphs and they say they go by what the switch reports for when they bill me. I haven't had an issue until this month when one of my servers which I only have one TB with was reported using 1372GB on their switch.
Now on my MRTG graphs it reported the monthly graph as the following:
Average In: 2360.8 kb/s (2.4%) 763.855996 GB
Average Out: 471.7 kb/s (0.5%) 152.6205485 GB
This reports under 1TB, so I thought that I was okay on my usage. Am I wrong in thinking that the average usage and actual usage should be very similar? I figured since MRTG takes how much you transfer every 5 minutes and averages that over 300 seconds to find the rate that it would report basically the same average usage as my actual usage.
small query about Analog stats for which I can't find the answer anywhere.
A customer has asked why on the 'Failed referral reports' it is showing various URLs that do exist. From Analogs website they describe it as basically a missing link report. These links are not missing so how come it's still reporting them, could they be false positives?
The only thing I can think of is that perhaps when somebody clicks on the web page but then very quickly cancels the request by clicking another link or the stop button.
I just installed Nginx. It seems it works well, but watchdog reports it as "stopped".I restarted watchdog several times, and it always says the service has stopped.What shall I do to make watchdog see Nginx as a working service?
Following this KB [URL] ...., I can confirm that command "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/nginxmng -s" return "Enabled".
How can i prevent error 302 in my site? for example, this [URL] .... is showing a status 200
But this same [URL] .... is showing me a status 302 (note the lack of forward slash)
Every folder in my site is showing this 302 error, so i tried to do a redirect in order to fix this, but its not working.
I think its the htaccess doing this kind of redirects in my hole site but I am new to this file, so i dont know how to fix this. Rules in my htaccess are here:
(I cant write into htaccess, but I can see the content of the file)...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.saludymedicinas.com.mx [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.saludymedicinas.com.mx/$1 [R=301,L]
In plesk9 my customers had the option to send daily usage reports by e-mail. Only certain clients like this option. Using plesk11 I cannot find this option if I log in as a client. Has this feature been removed? And if so, can the administrator enable this option only for 1 or 2 clients?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am shopping around for a new dedicated server and am running into sites that offer 100% Uptime guarantees.
Is 100% uptime possible? Wouldn't that mean that they never reboot their server, or never perform specific maintenance/updates on the server?
I guess when I see 100% uptime, I would expect perfection. I thought I'd ask here if this is possible because I'd hate to invest dollars on something false.
A web will be down due to many problems, like disk failure, web services dead etc. even ISP offers 100% network uptime SLA. So, my question is how to keep a web 100% uptime?
for instance, when any server(either db server or web server, either hardware or software failure)dies, the redundant server may immediately and automatically take over the dead one.
Is this possible I can get 100% uptime on my VPS. I think if I buy another VPS and use it for secondary VPS and If my first gone down that VPS start working after that.
View 14 Replies View Relatedhow come every web host says they have 99.9% uptime? I just saw a new webhost that started last week and they said they had 99.9% uptime. They've only been around for a week, they should have 100%. Why does every web host advertise that fact?
Next, how is that .1% lost? Do their servers crash for a second?
I currently have two VPS 1 at modvps.com and i'm having some serious problems with downtime.
Could someone recommend a vps service where i can have something near 99,999% of uptime?
i think in dedicated servers you can put second server and if first server gone down second server autometically start working.
is this possible in VPS too. I have four VPS
is it possible to have 100% uptime i mean is it possible to have 2 servers(2 different data centers) with the same hosting information
ns1 (first data center)
ns2 (second data center)
has anyone here had a server with wholesaleinternet.com for a while? Preferably someone that can post some uptime statistics? A publicly available uptime report for at least the last six months would be perfect...
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt's my first post, but I thought it would be useful to create a list with links to public statistics of uptime of VPS's of different hosting.
