I have changed my nameservers at the domain registrar but when using the serverbeach DNS tool to use the serverbeach DNS service , its asks me for the IP of my domainname.
How do I find in webmin the IP address of the domain to be entered
I am looking at a dedicated server from serverbeach or a vps from liquidweb
"web stuff" i run a website in which only my friends could access the site is using gallery with about 3,000 pictures from local car shows
the monthly visits is under 80
"email stuff" one important thing is eye candy which one has a better email gui because i am willing to pay up to $100.00 per month for a flashy email gui
currently hosted with gate.com and they suck and my friends showed me 2 programs called zimbra & smartermail which look so cool and they told me you need a server or vps
and if you are wondering i am a college kid so that's why this post sounds so stupid but it's real
About two weeks ago serverbeach null routed one of our servers for over 48 hours with no proof of an attack what so ever. We would randomly see it back online for 5 minutes at a time and the server was perfectly fine. No lag, no attacks, no nothing then boom nullrouted again.
They claimed the traffic the server was receiving was too much for the 10mbit port we were paying for (after we waited 48 hours to receive a useful response) so we were forced to upgrade to a 100mbit port. No big deal, they upgrade us to 100mbit and 10 minutes later the server is online without any issues what so ever. Today we find out the server has been nullrouted once again and we have not had a response from them in hours.
Not to mention when we called support the first time we heard a party in the background and it was impossible to talk due to all of the loud noise and yelling. We were promised an update within 30 minutes, never heard back.
I've heard people talk about it being important to pick the right datacenter if you go with serverbeach. Other than the two power outages in the VA one, what are the differences? Do they all use pure Peer1 bandwidth?
I have always wanted to be a customer of ServerBeach since I found out that they hosted YouTube and so on. I have found their prices to be kind of high compared to all the others until they started offering their "Twitter" deals, and that is how a price I could not turn down came into my life.
Well, I ordered a server through Server Beach 7/12/2009 and have been rocking it out at 100% uptime since they set it up for use on 7/14/2009. When I first placed my order I had to send in a photo ID and such to verify it was me ordering the server, which I found to be kind of reassuring knowing that the datacenter took fraud that serious. It might have just been me though!
Server Specs AMD Opteron 1218 2 GB DDR2 Memory (up to 667MHz) 2 x 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA II , RAID 1 Unlimited (10mbps) bandwidth (AKA 3300ish GIGs?) Herndon, Virginia
So far, I have had NO network problems! My server is located in their Virgina datacenter outside of Washington DC. Which is a blessing coming from a former FDC Servers user. They have a super fast network, websites load fast.
I have had to contact support a few times, and they were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. One thing I love about ServerBeach support, is that they treat all questions as a true problem, even if it's just a question that has nothing to do with the server being down or anything like that. Support also answers tickets amazingly fast by the way!
I love the fact that I have a set account manager. I love being able to call a single person if I need something outside the realm of support needs.
All in all, these first 30 days have been spectacular, and I look to spending a long time with ServerBeach.
Side Note!
My Previous Providers have included FDC Servers and The Planet.

and this may sound stupid but can you use a windows server like a computer like play movies and music and stuff using remote asst?
I've only had a server with them for a week and - being the guru that I am - managed to lock myself completely out of windows by mistake, no safe mode remedy or anything possible. I needed a fresh OS install but on top of that I needed access to my old data. It took them all of 6 minutes to notify me that my request was in the works. In under 2 hours I had a fresh C drive with a new OS and my old drive in there for me to copy data from.
I was fully expecting a slow, condescending response and a bill for the service (I asked to be charged but they refused and said that OS reloads are always free despite having to do more than a simple OS reload for me)... What I got was near immediate response from a polite and fully competent staff that did exactly what I wanted. Thanks ServerBeach!
I'll review their uptime after I've been with them for good chunk of time. I'm at Virginia and I read about two power outages they had before, but having dealt with their staff there I'm confident that these guys have that completely under control now.
I have a site that uses extreme amounts of bandwidth, I checked some of the popular companies like serverbeach and softlayer. Right now I'm leaning more towards serverbeach because they are cheaper, Are they a good company to go with? Let me know if you have any other recommendations.
I've just bought a VPS with [url], and they only offer cPanel (of which costs extra money per month). so I decided to install Webmin, which I have never used before.
how I set up my DNS servers in Webmin? I'm completely lost here.
with webmin can I use it to add FTP users to say pure ftpd? and does it work with lighttpd? If I'm thinking about it right webmin just allows us to control the service and modify the configuration files right?
I want to use whmcs with webmin as its a free utility. though i am not getting how to setup a cron job and email piping on the same. I have tried using php -q /var/www/pipe/pipe.php in my scheduled cron jobs in webmin. But it everytime results in an error. Also i have tried using /usr/local/bin/php -q /var/www/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php . But still shows error.
I started using some dedicated server and I have Webmin as control panel. There is also Apache that I turned on and it worked.
But since I didn't find anything to access server via ftp, I searched on net and understood that I need to install some module for it on Webmin.
In list of inactive modules I found Proftpd and install it. And then I made problem: somewhere in Webmin where is administration of users I edited user "ftp" since when logging I went to directory /var/ftp and I wanted to go to /var/www/html.
But when I changed accessing directory from /var/ftp to /var/www/html it didn't work so I again moved to /var/ftp. After that I again couldn't access but noticed in file manager under Webmin that content of /var/www was moved to /var/ftp and previous content of /var/ftp disappeared. I created new directory www in /var and copied in file manager content from /var/ftp but again when access from public address I receive error 403 forbidden. I rebooted system but again same.
I recently purchased a VPS and was wondering which control panel I should ask my provider to install. Both are free, but I was wondering which one you guys preferred?
Also, which one uses less system resources (like RAM, etc)?
I'm planning to operate my own dedicated server and bad news is I'm not much of a technical person. A friend recommends that I can use free Webmin as a front end (control panel) rather than paying for others. Do you think Webmin is suitable for newbie on this front?
my VPS with Steadcom has been running for about six months now and for the most part I'm very pleased.
I'm not all that skilled at running it yet, still learning.
First, My email was being blocked by some recipients, I am using sendmail. So I had to change the hostname and the hosts file, and the network file to my domain name, instead of the hostname Steadcom gave me. This fixed the email and it seems receipients are okay with the new settings.
However, whenever I restart the VPS, these files and the hostname get reset. How can I make it so these are not changed... is this something I have to bring up with Steadcom or is it a setting I'm not getting quite right?
Second... my webmin seems to have problems. I can log in, but then sometimes I cannot navigate to the areas I need to, as I'll get a page not found error. I have been stopping and restarting webmin, and that sometimes helps, but sometimes not and I have to restart the whole server. Which I really don't want to do just for webmin. I don't really know webmin that well, either, so would love some help on what I can do about this.
Third.. when I have SSH running I often get Brute Force warnings for a bot or someone trying to log in. So I just stop the service all together. But when I restart, it starts up again. How can I keep SSH from starting unless I need it?
every now and again Webmin seems to become inaccessible eg. when I go to [url]it just sits there and eventually times out with a "The connection has timed out" error.
But if I use lynx from the server to access [url]it works fine, does any one have any ideas what could be causing this, if I restart the server it then starts working fine again.
I have just installed my vps with webmin on debian 5 and I need a guide to how to configure my system to use suphp, Ive googled it but not come back with any clear guide.
I better add Ive plunged in at the deepend and after the secuity breach at Vaserv, I can not take the easy option and install lxadmin any longer.
