Webfusion Network Contention
Jul 3, 2008
Someone has mentioned to me that although Webfusion's servers represent good value, they suffer from network contention issues. They have implied that no matter how much power your server has, you will never acheive it's full potential as you are competing for bandwidth with so many.
I was ready to purchase a dedicated server from them, but now I'm concerned that this might be true. Would anyone out there care to agree/disagree with this? In fact, if you're already hosting on a webfusion dedicated server and don't mind posting a link to a site running there, I'd love to take a look! Especially if you're running any web apps or mysql-hungry sites?

I am moving away from them and i really think they shouldnt be entrusted with anything server related and/or be allowed to advertise their 24/7 support as after 8pm is non existent and before that is totally useless. I had to tell them how dns records are to be checked or how to flush my dns on my pc or what is a hosts file in windows!
I am intenting to sue them and just wanting to know if any of you had any similar experience?
I am still to reconfigure the Bind server myself now because of their mistake for which they want me to pay 100 to fix. About 10 different live websites are down because of that over 24 hours. anyway, i am off to reading and configuring the DNS server, but once i am done, i will report all the problems i had for the past 5 months with them. Sorry again if this is not the right place.

I'm currently on a VPS 2.0 Pro package from WebFusion. Ubuntu.
I've been with them for years, first on shared, now VPS. I generally run Invision discussion forums on them, as well as a few static websites.
Ok for disk space, memory etc. but recently it has been sooooooo slow, lag is getting unacceptable. It is intermittently ok, then slow as treacle. My customers are starting to complain.
I've spoken to tech support, and all they say is it's fine, but will look into it and then contact data centre.
To be honest, over the last few years I've seen a decline in tech support and customer service, but wondering what to do now. I pay annually and my budget is about £400 pa.
Renewal is due about March, but thinking about leaving early. Just getting too much hassle.
I just wonder who to go with? Do the smaller companies offer the same performance? Do they all have the same connnections to the backbone?
Or maybe it's a weird apache thing?

I am trying to send an email from a php script on a Webfusion VPS.
$to = "me@atmydomain.co.uk";
$subject = "Test subject";
$msg = "Test message";
$headers = "From: you@atyourdomain.co.uk
Reply-To: you@atyourdomain.co.uk";
if(mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers)){
echo "Sent";
}
else{
echo "Error!";
}
The page displays "Sent", but I don't receive the email.
Is there a setting that I should me making in either the script or via Plesk or elsewhere to enable the emails to be sent?
I phoned Webfusion support, but they claim they only support hardware. Webfusion's help pages just say:
I'm setting up a formmail script on my Linux VPS server? what is the path to sendmail?
The path is: $mailprog = '/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -i -t';
But it doesn't explain where to put this line of code. And if it should go in the php.ini file how do I get to that?

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??

Okay, I have been trying to get a VPN network setup here between our DC and our office for weeks now and have not been sucessful.
Here is our goals:
-use 10.x.x.x/255.0.0.0 as a local backend network at our DC
-be able to assign a 10.x.x.x address at the office to all workstations and be able to access any of the local machines at the DC
-we have a asterisk server that we use and want to run that on the same network, asterisk box at the DC, phones at the office
We are wanting to impliment this for allot of security procedures and for ease.
But I also want to be able to have this like at my house so I can still be on the VPN. I want to have my house, office and DC always connected and then setup remote ability too to dial in via VPN.
What would be the best way to accomplish.
I have already tried having a few Linksys RV082 and WRV54G but the remote and local networks must be different networks, so this will not work here.

Does anybody know how can I determine which of the IPs within the network are used or not. I know that this can be archived by pinging each of the ips but there are 256 (192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255). I am using CentOS 5.

I bought another dedicated server yesterday and it was bought online same day. It was working fine yesterday during a few site transfers but now it would appear that I am losing network packets.
I have done a traceroute and ping tests and attached are the results. Please can anyone help. I think the problem is to do with NTT's network rather than server problems but please could someone else ping from their location to confirm this.

I have some VPS with Knownhost and i use it for hosting purposes.
First, I'm not from USA.
Here in my country we have several ISP but one of them ( i guess the biggest one ) is having problems with their link that connects to another countries ( including USA ).
Many of my customers that uses this ISP complains about their site being down and also slow download speeds ( 10kb/s when they usually download at 200kb/s ). When they run a traceroute i see that the problem is related to the ISP.
I have already contacted the ISP but they doesn't seen to "care" about their clients and i guess they won't solve this in a near future.
My question is if there is a way to solve this problem on my own?
I was thinking about getting a link with another ISP ( the one that really works ) with static IP and route this to Knownhost VPS. I know that this isn't a cheap solution but is it possible?

To make it simple, I am having some bays with dedicated servers. We offer 2 possibilities for bandwidth traffic: per Giga, or per MBit/s but I am having some problems. We currently use the router of our ISP better than buying a cheap low quality router.
- How can I know how much bandwidth does use on customer and how to limit if I have no access to the router ?
- How can I limit my customer from using free IP on the same block than he is ? We do configure server with IP and the same subnet, gateway and broadcast, so one customer could use free IP just so, and I would not even be able to know who is doing.
How do you limit and count this for your servers?

This is 4th day i am having network issue on HiVeloCity.
Does anyone else here experiencing the same problem, or its only rack where my server is located?
I am unable to use my server for almost 4 days as i already said, and they still have no solution for me.
Every time i open up a live chat with support, they tell me that they are checking, working on it, having someone see it, etc. but problem is still there.
What should i do?
I am going to post pings from SoftLayer and my home to their main ip (their websites' IP where i see pocket loss as well)
... because of this my websites are opening so slow, and many ppl are complaining about this.
Since there is many experts on this forum i would like advise from you guys.
I would like to stay with HVC if they can fix this, if not looks like i will have to look for another provider.
Softlayer:

Let say I have a computer network and the router is 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.10 is using workgroup called HOME and 192.168.1.11 to 192.168.1.50 is using workgroup called OFFICE.
All comp is WIN XP based client.
Now the qustion is, I'm sure that noone from home workgroup can access the office workgroup. But how about virus?
In case a computer which is reside into home workgroup is infected with network type virus, can that virus reach the comp which is reside into office workgroup?

i am managing my network with a linux box (iptables, vlans) + layer2 managed switch instead of layer3 switch.
On my linux server, a regular onboard network card is working just fine but i am planning to upgrade it to better one.
What would you recommend me?
* Intel Pro/1000 PT Gigabit EXPI9404PTL Quad Ethernet
* RB/4g 4 port 10/100/1000 Mbit PCI Ethernet (Mikrotik)
or any other?
I would like to build my own firewall/gateway server instead of paying thousands of dollars to cisco asa, juniper or etc.

We have two servers, one in our office, and the other in a colocation. There is a site-to-site VPN connection between them. I want to add the server in the office as a network place/drive to the server in the colocation, but I can't get it to work. I tried putting the local ip of the server in the office, didnt work.
Then I tried OFFICESERVERNAMESHARENAME and that didnt work either.
Office Server Local IP: 192.168.0.202
Colocation Local IP: 192.168.1.2

I've been lurking and posting on these forums long enough that I figure it's time for me to contribute something that might help other users: a quick review of 2AM Networks.
I have 2 dedicated servers with them and I couldn't be happier. Network uptime is 100% as far as I can see, the servers are delivered within their given timeframes (despite me ordering during a sales rush both times - I'm clever like that ) and with exactly the specifications requested.
Support is fantastic. I haven't needed it a great deal but all responses have been within 20-30 minutes and the answers are spot on.
You can see how good the prices are for yourselves in the dedicated offers forum or on their dedicated servers page but I'm pleasantly surprised to find that even the add-ons (IPs, etc) are the same price as more expensive competitors.
So if anyone is researching dedicated servers I'd recommend taking a look at 2AM Networks
(I'll report my server IPs to give this review some credibility)

both of the VPSs we have with them have been offline for more than 15 minutes now. As usual, their support has been incredibly fast and I have heard back from a NOC staffer that they are experiencing network issues, but want to see if I can find out how widespread this is.
If you have services with ServInt, are your machines currently unreachable?

We're a small company that has outgrown dedicated hosting. We've got 8 servers currently with a well known hosting company, but the servers are starting to get old and we're growing. The cost of moving to colo just seem to make sense to us. We have a bunch of developers, but no network engineers. That being said, we're trying to figure out what we best need to move forward with going colo.
Sometime this month, we'll be purchasing 15-18 servers from Dell. We've already spoken to Colo4Dallas and plan to use their services. So we've got the servers and colo, but have no clue what we need with regard to switches, firewalls and remote-reboot.
1: What type of managed Cisco gigabit switch do we need? We don't know the specific model(s) that would be good for us. We want a hot backup and 24 ports. We manage multiple SSL sites (not sure if this is relevent) and 250+ ip addresses.
1a: Where do we manage ip addresses? We know we'll be getting a block of 250 ip addresses, but how do we assign ip address "a" to server "1"? Can we take that ip address and move it to another server if needed?
2: What type of firewall would be best for us, based on above requirements?
3: DRAC cards are pretty expensive, so we want a IP KVM switch. Any recommendations?
4: Remote reboote -- I've seen power strips out there that do this -- is that what we need, or is there another method we should consider?
5: Is there a company available in Dallas that we could hire to help us with these questions, or in setting everything up once we purchase the equipment?
We're not looking for the cheapest solutions, but the best ones.

I impulsively signed up for 2 years of web-hosting at Network Solutions @ $89 /year, thinking I was covered by their 30 day money back guarantee. Normally I due a little research but I was actually calling them about another matter and made an (uncharacteristic) impulse decision, thinking I was covered by the money back guarantee. Reading the fine print today, their user agreement says it will cost $24.95 per contract year (x2) to cancel. In addition to this bit of marketing shenanigans, a additional bit of research seems to indicate that they are not exactly a "preferred host" among experienced users.
Q's - Is it worth $50 to walk away from NetSol and start fresh with a new host? Although I'm a newb with simple hosting needs, I still get just a frustrated with poor customer as the next guy. Am I likely to encounter any added grief, compared to other hosting options, by staying with NetSol?
FWIW - I will need hosting for four small sites, two that are nothing more than "multi page" splash pages and two will be new vBulletin powered sites. The vBulletin sites will start simple, but hopefully progress as my skills and traffic grow. While I recognize my needs are modest by any standard, I don't want my learning curve with vBulletin (and as a first time Site Administrator) to be hampered by a mediocre host and/or customer service.
