My [new] host doesn't offer custom DNS records. Obviously, this upsets me somewhat as I need some custom DNS records (mainly A Records).
Would this be possible:
I've got a few servers with SoftLayer. If I pointed my domain to SoftLayer's nameservers and handled the DNS there, could I simply forward everything to their servers from SoftLayer's "Manage DNS" (such as www, mail, ftp, etc), then create the custom DNS myself? Would this work?
Hope that's clear enough to understand!
If not, is there another possible work-around? I need custom A Records!
We'd like to host an application that will be controlled through web access at a specific port. We also want to control the amount of data traffic on a per user basis.
How can we do this? Can we bind a specific server IP : Port to a user and control the data from that. How can we make sure that only one user access one server IP and Port and so cancel user overlapping (one user finds out another IP and Port and uses that).
We will be using Windows Server 2003 and can have Plesk Control Panel installed.
I'm looking to pass the entries to a web form, via Apache, to an external process (listening on a port say 4321) running on the same host as Apache.Is there a way to "coerce" Apache into doing this?
I have a small VPS with Serverways and to be honest I have had no problems with it for a week or so - suprising when you see the spec!
My question is - are there any other providers around the globe (looking for VPS servers all over the place) that would sell me a VPS with the following specs:
CPU 100MHZ 100 MB RAM 10GB SATA (Could probably do with less if needed) No control panel 100GB Bandwidth on- 100mbps port. 4.90 USD UnManaged
I have been asked by a client to develop a solution that can offer subversion project hosting. Basically a user will signup for an account and be able to create different repositories and manage them and get RSS feeds for the commit actions n stuff...
Now i am thinking of using PHP for this but I am not sure how will I setup the server (webhost) .. should I recommend him to go with dedicated server? Since he wants to limit the space for each user how can that be done?
Can any one recommend a good email hosting solution a bit like hivemail.com as after searching on google it looks like they have died. I did like the features of hivemail so if there is anything similar then please recommend I will continue my search and let you know what I have found ifI find anything.
I'm in the process of forming a web development business and am currently interested in learning the various methods of offering 3rd party services and accounts. How to offer hosting is my current dilemma; I can of course refer the client to a host and receive a referral kick-back, but the idea of reselling hosting accounts is also appealing, though I have no knowledge currently as to how this works, and I'm basically just curious how other's manage this aspect of the business. I do not mind offering customer service on hosting accounts, so this is not an issue
We are currently looking for Monthly Leased Virtuozzo Licenses, does anyone know who offers this? SwSoft only sells owned licenses which we don't need.
Are there any web designers/developers who offer hosting to their clients as part of their website creation package. I am toying with the idea of only creating websites for people who host with me. I currently have a colo server, but only use it for personal things. So I have no experience with the needs and demands of clients in regards to hosting. What are some of your experiences with hosting for clients? Is it worth it?
I use Pingdom "Pro" (or whatever the paid version is to be branded as), and I think it is fantastic. It is yet to let us down or misinform us. It'll be interesting to see whether we see quality dilution from the inevitable rush of freebie accounts.
I am not very professional in hosting but i am using shared hosting from about an year.
i came here to know what is running behind my share hosting or any share hosting and also please tell me what is dedicated server requirement, i mean what hardware, software and connection needed to make a dedicated server?
After some experimenting with Linux VPS setups, I'm eager to explore windows VPS software.
Two questions I guess, first off, what is the cheapest method of offering multiple VPS accounts on a windows server? Are there any free or build in Microsoft methods?
Second, what is the easiest way of doing so? (Simple setup, as hands off as possible)
I realize the cheapest may not be the easiest and vice versa. I'm downloading Parrallels Virtuozzo trial right now, but would like to learn what else is out there.
With a competitive price, comparable to Google Apps Pro Edition.
In my opinion is a very good product, http://tinyurl.com/68d9h5
that unfortunately I can't resell yet
I still think that Scalix and Zimbra provide a better -final user- experience that Open-Xchange but in business, speed is a must, and having a product before a competition is a competitive edge. You can't keep waiting a company forever.
BTW, Just wanted to take advantage to comment how poor and oldie look the webmail interfaces, we hosting providers provide to our users. With the exception of Windows Email systems and Roundcube, most control panels come with Squirrelmail and Horde, look old. They are good and stable but they are and look good.
Some days ago, I got a new customer and after I gave him the login info for their Cpanel 11 account and webmail, he told me:
"..I don't like the webmail.. I use Yahoo email all the time, and it is easy to use. Squirrel looks simple, but it is "ugly"..."
I must admit, that I felt embarrased.
What did I finally do with him? Configured Google Apps for free for him. Now he is happy. But I am thinking is that if I start to find more customers like this, my business will end up in charging for configuring "nice webmails..."
I would like to know how to allow customers to use their own php.ini file. I have had hosts in the past that allowed you to use a custom php.ini file so long as you put it in every directory that you would need to use it.
I was just trying to figure out how this is done as I am new to all of this and trying to learn.
I'm using CentOS 5, Cpanel/WHM with php as cgi, when i try to put a php.ini file to to custom php for one account and it overwrite main setting on our server, someone use this bug to run c99 and try local attack other account, i've try fix this problem by edit /opt/suphp/etc/suphp.conf and set phprc_paths to /usr/local/lib/. But when i do this, php.ini in my custom account doesnt work any more... How can i custom php for one account and it not effect to main setting to prevent local attack?
I have a reseller account on a server, and I have a client who needs to used a custom php.ini file to set the session.save_path variable. He has created this file and placed in the public_html folder, but this path still comes up as 'No Value' and the Configuration File Path still reads '/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini '.
What do I need to do to get this site to read from the correct php.ini file? I tried setting this in the .htaccess file, to no avail.
We just got a dedicated server, my first time messing with anything dedicated though I've had WHM before. I have 4 domains I'd like to setup to point to this. But I'd prefer our company URL to host the name servers. Domains are registered through enom who will allow me to setup the name servers.
I'm trying to use the "Nameserver IPs" section in WHM to setup the name servers but it just sits and "works" but never actually finishes. Does my company URL need to be pointing to the server before doing this?
