Webby Cart VPS Management Review
May 19, 2008
I just got a new VPS with Direct Admin installed and was scouting around for some one to secure, optimize and manage the VPS as I really do not have the time at this moment to do it myself.
I selected Webbycart to do it for me and I have not been disappointed. Bobby and his team have been truly impressive and have done a wonderful job on the VPS.
I have put in a total of 4 support tickets so far and each one has been attended to in a fast, professional manner.
I will continue to have them for VPS management as they are technically capable of handling stuff unlike one other management provider I have seen.

Is anyone having any support problems with Webbycart lately?
I'm on a manage server with them and its been okay till yesterday.
My server went down sometime in early morning. And was down pretty much most of morning and afternoon. Couldn't get anyone to answer support ticket till a few hours later on the issue. And that was yesterday.
Today same thing. Woke up to find out my server is down again. Submitting a support about the issues and its been 4 hours and I still no replies to my ticket. Email notification on my support tickets aren't being sent out like normal too.

I live in New England, Cambridge, Mass. I looked through many colocation offers and companies here in Boston but compared to NY/NJ area, where i have 1/2 colo, prices here are "insane" (hign). Paying 90$ for 1mbps compared to 13-17$ in NY/NJ is too high.
So i searched for other options here in my area. 1-2-3 hour drive from me and found
[url]
I did try to contact them by email only yet, just to check if they are legit. No reply so far, after 7 days. I emailed 4 times from diff emails.
Will call them next week or so. I just think i need to give them time to celebrate Halloween and get drunk so they can do their job properly the rest of the year.. ))
Did anybody hear anything about them? I did try the search box but it gives nothing back. I also tried google but no info about prices so far as well.
Anybody from Boston there to offer something good?
Here is what i get in NJ:
1/2 (23U) rack, power included, 10mbps (95%), IP: 2x C classes + 32 IP. I pay 775$ for that.

Just a quick little review here:
Wanted to let you all know that I am very pleased with service I am receiving from Byethost! Many people think of Byet as just a free hosting and paid shared hosting company, but for awhile now I've been leasing a server and management service from them for io3.us and io4.us. I must say I have been very impressed!
I've received lots of personal attention and consulting to help me determine my needs, and also to make sure I end up with the best solution. Byethost has been very flexible in their solutions for me, and I have really appreciated all they've done!
I recently had to upgrade from a VPS to a full dedicated server, and once again Byethost was there to help every step of the way. The upgrade was literally totally seamless.
They ordered the server, configured it, moved everything over, verified everything with me. Nothing was down, not even for a few seconds. Byethost handled it all, and I didn't have to do a thing! That's what I call service. (Plus, from the time I ordered until the time everything was moved from the VPS to the dedicated server and running fine was less than 2 days!)
Previously, I've said HostGator was my number 1 pick for dedicated servers, but I have to change that now. If you're looking for a dedicated server (with or without management servers), I strongly recommend Byethost.com. You will be doing yourself a huge favor, saving a tremendous amount of hassle by choosing Byethost.
I now have a dedicated server and 10 Mbps dedicated line from them, and I couldn't be happier!

As a longtime member around these parts, I've had the opportunity to use the services of a lot of different companies. Whether it be dedicated providers, software developers and in this specific case -- server administration / management. I have had the opportunity to work with Scott of Admingeekz over the course of the past few months. He's provided me with server optimization, security and most importantly prompt, effective communication.
Link to Admingeekz: Admingeekz
I'll detail the pros, cons & downsides below.
Pre:
I started working with Scott for system administrative needs a few months back for a few one-off jobs, sorting issues that I simply either didn't have time to manage or couldn't handle by my lonesome. The first few times I've used Admingeekz went off without a hitch and so I began delving deeper into their services & recently had an emergency that I had Scott deal with..
Admingeekz Pros:
The pros of admingeekz are instantly obvious the moment you start using them. The team there is attentive, thorough and most of all they're not just robots. Not only will they handle the job but in almost every case they'll make recommendations, outpour some criticism and overall ensure that they're not just taking care of the issue at hand but rather going out of their way for all of your needs.
Pricingwise, I expected to be paying a lot more for the service that Scott & co. are offering. Not only are they inexpensive but they offer a 10% discount for return clients -- something that has continued to bring me back, not only because of the service but because I'm a cheapskate.
Communication, Scott is really on top of things. Frequent updates during the job being performed, effective communication and most of all friendly to work with.
Thoroughness: Admingeekz gets the job done and goes well beyond what's necessary in a lot of cases. Scott handled an emergency for me just yesterday and with most companies you just expect an 'okay, complete'. Scott went above and beyond and sent me a thorough detailed list of issues that he noted on the system, along with an exceptionally precise list of things he had done. Gorgeous, what we need as company owners.
Admingeekz downsides:
Now the downside... and admittedly, they're nasty.
The only downside to admingeekz is that you won't be satisfied anywhere else after you've worked with Scott & co. Not only are they attentive, thorough and fast -- but they know their security, administration and optimization. It will be nearly impossible for me to be satisfied by another security company at this point.
Keep up the great work Scott & thanks for spending hours working with me!

I'll be doing extensive customizations to the cart for a store with around 100 items.
From what I understand, the numerous SQL queries used by the cart can cause spikes in CPU usage and I would like to find a host that is familiar with hosting CS-Cart sites and does not oversell. Budget is around $15/mo including a dedicated IP for a private SSL.
Been looking for a few days now without much success. Tried CyberLNC but they seem to be small and don't appear to have phone support and seen mixed reviews on Siteground.

I've setup a shopping cart and payment gateway and I've been completey customizing everything (working very hard for the estimated launch date for my new hosting company at the end of this month). However, someone setup an account under the name "John Doe" with root@localhost as the email address. It appeared to have been setup almost immediately once I setup oscommerce. This is odd because I've never TOLD anyone about my web site and haven't even begun the marketing portion of it yet.
I am SO happy I don't have automatic account creation otherwise I would be so stressed out right now!
Has anyone else experienced this? What does this occurrence mean and how can I stop this from happening in the future? The one thing that bothers me is the root@localhost email as I don't want anyone accessing anything that has to do with the root directory.

I have a dedicated server with a shopping cart and I have had a very few people say they were buying and at the order completion stage the final page would not load.
This happens very rarely and I actually cannot reproduce it.
How can I even begin to trouble shoot this type of problem?

I was wondering what kind of web hosting I need to have to build an online shopping cart site? Does a shared hosting package work? The site will need to process credit card transactions so it needs to be secured. I'd appreciate some recommendations.

I recently got my hands on a few unmanaged VPS to play around with and learn how to work on them (eventually plan on going dedicated, so this is a preparation for that). I know the basics of working on Linux via command line, but beyond that I'm clueless. Does anyone know of any good guides for setting up and managing a LAMP environment on a VPS?
I'm mostly interested in CentOS and Debian.
I can find guides specifically for 1 or 2 things, but so far the only useful (complete) guide I've found is the one here. I'm not sure if that's still up to date on todays standards as it was written 2 years ago?
Things I'm looking for:
- Installing and setting up a LAMP environment
- Jailing SSH
- User/Group management
- Firewall setup / security hardening (I've read the thread in VPS tutorials as well as the one in Technical and Security Tutorials about securing your hosting company)
2 more questions...
1) Wondering what would be better... webmin or ispconfig? From what I understand webmin is more OS oriented and allows easy configuration of various parts of the OS while ispconfig is more hosting oriented? I take it running both at the same time is not recommended/needed?
2) Still not entirely sure what OS to choose. In my VPS atm I have the following available (along with the likes of Ubuntu, Gentoo and SuSE but I think the list bellow is what I should use). Would love if someone could list some advantages/disadvantages of each.
- centos-5-i386-afull
- centos-5-i386-hostinabox571
- debian-3.1-i386-minimal
- debian-4.0-i386-minimal
Appreciate any input.
Thanks for reading.

How do i go about setting up a DNS zone using WHM for my new dedicated server? Also, what does record type mean (as in: A, A6, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, TXT, WRK)?
If someone can point me to a good tutorial or reference so that i can get my server up and running with multiple domains, I'd appreciate it.

We run around 300 domains for our clients; in the past we've believed that it was better to outsource DNS hosting, we've used a few different local companies but now we're getting to the stage that I'd like to consolidate all the records to one company.
Does anyone have any reccomendations for ultra reliable, easy to manage? Or is it better to put a dedicated machine in and run our own service?
I've got a few domains with Zoneedit, but I want to way-up some alternatives, I don't think the zoneedit admin is particularly user friendly and it's quite expensive $1000+ a year for what we need.

i have few dedi servers from one Us company, i am currently using their DNS service, we are into small level hosting, i want to run my own DNS, is it necessary to run a separate server for DNS?
Actually how the hosting companies do the name server pointing, for an example if i am buying a server and want to host a few domains in that server, what normally we do is we will change the name server to that companies name server
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
my question is if i am pointing my domains name server to the name server
ns1.companydomain.com
ns2.companydomain.com
how that company points the domain to my server for an example its ip is 72.xx.52.xx i am bit confused in this.
Also i have a doubt how they are creating this for n number of domains?

We are working on our pci certification ( fun times right? ) and i was wondering what other people do for server management in the dmz. Few things we are looking at listed below. We will be doing cisco zbfw for firewalling and using NAT.
#1
Servers have 2 nics, 2 ips, gateway ect. One of the networks would be considered a "management vlan/network". Other network would be for all other traffic, including natting to the internet, and traffic to the "internal" zone but locking down traffic to source,destination, and protocol level.
On windows you really on have 1 true default gateway, and because windows doesnt just send traffic out the interface it came in, but looks at the routing table, some network routing issues popped up.
#2
Use only 1 nic/vlan/ip/gateway. Lock down traffic to source,destination, and protocol level for dmz to "internal" traffic and do an "inspect" statement to allow all necessary traffic back in and drop everything else. "Internal" to dmz would just be an inspect all because this traffic wouldnt need to be firewalled so management traffic would work just fine.

Does anyone know of any software applications available of which would allow staff/employees to log into SSH while actively logging all input and prohibiting certain commands from being run?
A list of applicable servers to log into would be amazing as well, although that might be reaching too far.

I have 4 ip addresses.
74.63.67.146 - my main server. I have also configured my main domain to "own" this IP address and have installed an SSL cert. The domain and the cert work correctly but when you type in the IP address in, it shows "Apache is functioning normally".
74.63.67.147 - this is owned by a client. Same thing happens as above except that the domain name and the IP address point to the Apache message.
74.63.67.148 - this is the shared IP. Everything works correctly.
74.63.67.149 - this is another owned IP and it works correctly.
The only thing that is different from 146, 147

I just want to know what is the best way to run a hosting solution remotely. I.E have OS re-installed without having someone to do this for us in the DC for example?
I've heard KVM over IP but unsure to where that would lead us.

Anyone know of any service that will provide 24/7 support for colocation servers I own?
By support I mean regular system updates, monitoring server stability, and be available 24/7 if problems were to occur.
I plan to colo with steadfast networks.

1-On a VPS if I have 128 RAM guaranteed and 512 Burst, when I do top I can see the 471856k, it means at that moment I can use 471856k RAM, or this memory show is something I cant trust?
2- If I have 128 guaranteed and for some reason a a process tries to eat more than that(like 1 gig for exaple) it will be not allowed? Do I have to pay anything for that leak? DO the leak affects the ENtire host?
I believe I kno all those answer but is better to double check them....

file/folder management system where I can upload files thought the system of FTP program and setup accounts that can access that folder with various permissions.
The goal is to be able to create any amount of folders and sub folders and assign unlimited amount of users to individual folders with permissions to upload (with or without over-right privileges), and download files in the folder they have access to.
I am open to using a third party, if Yahoo! or some similar file hosting company offers such a service.
