Ways To Use Commodity Hardware
Apr 14, 2008How would/do you make use of commodity (generally a few years old) servers? At any scale, from 1 to 1,000 of them? Especially things you could sell?

View 6 RepliesI recently bought a VPS from [url].. Probably about a week and a half ago. The VPS runs great, everything's going fine, but I'm wondering what is up with their company... I can't access billing, and their frontpage has been replaced with this message:

I am sorry to see no website. We are redoing alot of things with our company. If you need any support do so by emailing us We can get them. At [url]or [url]We you are a customer and need support you can do so by emailing and one of our techs will get back to you.
If you're a company, don't you think you should notify your customers in a more professional manner than just putting a small message up on your website?
I've tried emailing support to ask them what's going on because honestly I don't feel too comfortable putting my files on this VPS and not knowing if it will exist tomorrow... It's been 24 hours since my email and I haven't received a response yet. 2 weeks ago when I looked into this company I received responses from Sales within minutes and now all of a sudden nothing at all..?
I colocate a server in a nearby datacentre. It's a CentOs+Cpanel server. The problem is my server 2 hard disk is used with no backup. I am thinkin of doing the backup manually myself by walking in the datacentre every weekend with my desktop cpu with new hard drive.
Is there a possible way I can store backup that way?
I compiling a list of ways that vps accounts differ from normal shared hosting, both for myself and other vps newbies (will be published as an article)
I realise not all of these are limitation on all shared hosting accounts or indeed availabale on all vps accounts, but they represent the general rules for each.
So far I have:-
i) high or unlimited number of simaltanious processes.
ii) self setting process time out
iii) high or unlimited simaltanious pop3 account access
iv) guarenteed ram, process access and connectivity
v) high or unlimited email sending allowance (subject to usual spam policies)
vi) unlimited domains
vii) resource allocation per domain
anything else...speciaically im looking for way that shared hosting account are usually limited (like with the above mentioned simaltanious processes) that is not normal for vps accounts.
Is there no possible way I can slave just a few tables in mysql? instead of slaving the entire table on the main database server.

I have a problem after change permissions :
chown -R root:root /usr/local/apache
chmod -R o-rwx /usr/local/apache
after run above commands when I trying to restart apache show me this error:
Warning: SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper.
I have 3 servers and use cPAnel which I will continue to do so as I see they have the greatest lifespan compared to the rest.
However, could anyone advise what will be the most resource-saving and easiest way to backup all customers data in case of failure?
How often do you guys backup?
Care to share your experience?
I've often hunted for a dedicated server that needed to have certain criteria, and it's usually overwhelming comparing servers from different companies. For example, if I need 4GB, one may come with 4GB RAM, while another has 2GB standard with the option of getting another 2GB for a small extra fee.
Is there a site that lets you enter your criteria, and it will list servers that meet your needs? For example, you could have it list servers with at least 8GB of RAM, or servers with 500+GB hard drive and 1000GB transfer/month, etc.
