I have a task of converting a current Win Server based apache server from multiple IP based virtual hosts to a full name based virtual hosting.I'm famiilar with the steps but I was wondering if there are any gotchas in Windows that I should be aware of. It seems that now matter what I change in the new config it doesn't work or work as expected.
I'm looking for a cheap VPS with the following requirements:
- Based in the EU - Unlimited monthly bandwidth - Price under 50 EUR / month, the cheaper the better - At least 20GB space, at least 10 MBit, other specs do not matter - Linux distro or FreeBSD, SSH access - Good reliability, doesn't mean i want a 99% uptime guarantee, but something that doesn't have too many problems Preferred locations are near Austria, but anywhere in the EU is good. Also it is a plus if they have upgrade options to better packages if i need it at a later time.
I liked Kimsufi, however I cannot rent from my country even though I can pay by credit card or paypal. I am based in Slovenia and i can pay by Visa debit or Paypal (Visa preferred).
Just a general question here but does it put you off signing up with a host if their HQ's are not based in the US or UK?
For example, would you always choose a host based in the US or UK over a host based in India, China or the Phillippines (i.e. English not being their first language as per communication with techs/sales staff)?
We've tried before several times RAM based hosting (where you have all files on RAM disk). Our systems were crashing, but my guess is that we were putting about 100,000 or so files on it and since it was formatted with ext3 (everywhere else we are using XFS) - this was a reason for crashing.
Since we have a lot of bandwdith in our data center, we are thinking about becoming a mirror for CentOS, gOS and some other distributions. I am thinking again about using RAM disk based hosting (you use 1 Gb/s port 100% no problem with it even on CoreDuo level of CPU).
Anybody has any experince, good or bad of running RAM based hosting? I am talking about dedicated, not VPS environment.
i suppose this type of post is common in this forum so i hate to do it but i do need come advice.
I hava a shared host but i need to move to a dedicated host. I'm having real problems finding a host that i think i can trust.....i was considering going with 123 reg....the price is about right....£40 monthly and they're in the uk so support should be easier............then i read loads of bad things about them an decided against it.
I need a dedicated host ( linux) for about £40 a month based in the uk....can anyone reccomend anyone reliable with good support....cpanel would also be good......and do they all have setup fees like 123 reg?
As you might know if you read my other thread I'm often looking for VPS servers (at the moment Linux only), based around the world.
This weeks challenge for me is a china/hong kong based VPS, nothing too fancy, its only going to be used for small websites and as a proxy service for when we run ranking reports for our SEO clients.
Requirements - English support if possible, although we do have some Chinese speakers in house. - 128mb ram, 2gb disk space, 20gb transfer/mo - CentOS 5 preferred, but any system with a working Yum or similar will do.
Budget up to €30 a month, but could go higher if i had to.
Payment -for various reasons we cannot use paypal at the moment, so even if its just paypal credit card processing they won't let us use it. This is something we are looking to solve but its not my dept so i'm stuck with it.
- We can pay by Visa Credit or Visa Debit cards, and if we really had to, bank transfer, but I'm told transfers to china are sometimes very tricky to get right.
I have had a look through the VPS offers forum but most of the china-related posts are from 2006 or so and so aren't relevant anymore.
Are there any recommendations for reasonably price+reasonable Coldfusion VPS providers?
I checked out the following: - HostMySite (tops my list at the moment) - MediaTemple (not yet offering CFM hosting) - PowerVPS (not offering CFM hosting)
I've been investigating and testing Xen for a few months in order to add Xen VPS to the hosting services I have available. With the recent news re: VMware Server, and my experience with VMware, I've started to look, and easily prefer, using this product over Xen. Has anyone else started to look at it as a possible alternative for hosting purposes?
I would like to monitor traffic on IP based on my debian server. I have 16 IPs on my server? Is there any good tool or any tool which gives GUI display?
I have set up a new Web site on one of our servers which has Qmail on it.
This web site is SmartsWin.com
What are the Steps necessary to take so that I can set up the email addresses of the various people affiliated with this Web site? That is like john@SmartsWin.com, jane@SmartsWin.com, etc.?
Also I want the emails to be Web accessible via a Web based interface such as Hoard or Squirellmail, or another Web based interface if you think it is better or easier to set up.
What are the easiest way (Steps) to get the above task done?
I'm moving away from IPowerWeb after they "upgraded" to the new VDeck application. This thing is horrible. I would like to know of a host that provides the BEST web based file manager/editor.
I do a lot of PHP, HTML, SQL with complex directory structures.
We will add this option to our Seattle-based datacenter. So, which network is better for EU-based customers? We have NTT and Global Crossing in our mix already
I have a file server, and want to build a system that has network-based reload feature. However, I have no idea how to create it. Is there any tutorial to do that? So whenever I need to reload OS for my server, I can do myself, dont need to ask help from the tech in datacenter?
I'm thinking about adding a linux based router to my cabinet. I have 8 computers so I'm not looking for anything that's tricky. In fact some of this is just for my own education as to what routers can do.
The biggest feature that's important to me is ease of use. I want something that I can configure from a web based menu. So what linux based router software is the easiest to use and most educational?
Also - I dealing with about 30mb 95th percentile traffic. Peak is 100mb. Would a box that has and AMD dual core CPU with 8 gigs of ram be a good enough computer to run on?
I'm working with an NGO and we have sites dedicated to companies in Afghanistan and East Timor -- need to reach people inside those, and neighboring, countries. We have our headquarters in North America and donors scattered around the world.
Have been trying to identify good providers in Asia, but am finding very little. In an ideal world we'd have servers in N. America and Hong Kong or Singapore (or India?).
I'm aware that millions of websites using shared hosting are configured with name based virtual hosting.
I'm just wondering now how name based vhosts could be a disadvantage for hosting our websites?
Currently we have a static IP address for each website, apache configured with vhosts for each of these IP Addresses.
I was thinking about re-configuring to name based vhosts, use up less IP Addresses and only have one or two for domains to point to per server.
Is there anything I should know about name based vhosts?
Currently I know of the following issues:
- I can't setup SSL (I don't think?) without a unique IP, but this doesn't matter to me.
- Apache may be making DNS lookups?
This post may seem a bit silly overall, I doubt there is anything important to note about name based vhosts, but just wanted to know if anyone knew something I should know.
Our current ip based vhost setup works, but it would be nice to drop usage on all of those IP Addresses and we have no need for IP address access from browsers and whatnot.
