I started out with a reseller account at Webkore.net. Great company, I outgrew their services and moved to Innohosting over a year ago.
Before I moved to InnoHosting, I sent in a cancellation request (they use WHMCS)...but nothing was every canceled in their system and I kept getting invoices from them. I simply ignored them. Fair enough, right?
Now, as I've said...I've been with Inno for over a year now. In that past year Webkore.net seems to have been acquired by eCommerce Discovery.
Here is the weird problem. My account on their server was never deleted! I, as a reseller had WHMCS installed was using cron jobs to automatically send emails.
A few weeks ago, I started recieving cron job reports from cpsev1.wirednoc.net, a domain owned by eCommerce Discovery. I really wouldn't care too much, but apparently the whole WHMCS system is still active and is sending my clients emails (Invoice reminders, domain renewal reminders, etc etc...).
This is obviously something that needs to be dealt with as it's getting a little out of hand. I only had 35 clients in WHMCS when I was with them...all of which are still with me.
I've called the number at this page:
[url]
multiple times only to be forwarded to a voice message. I just now actually left my voice message. Emails to Webkore.net have gone unanswered for 6 months, so I'm not even going to bother with that.
What I don't understand is how my account, over a year old and unpaid, is still not only ON the server...but ACTIVE, unsuspended, and running cron jobs. I'm going to shoot eCommerce Discovery an email shortly and will update this thread if they reply, although...chances don't look good.
ways to utilize dynamic merging of CSS/JS files so that the browser only has to download one file for each type. I have a solution for how I would implement this solution on a non-CMS site. What complicates this is that most of the sites I manage are based on the Joomla! CMS.
Quite often, a webpage that has been extended with 3rd party extensions can have as many as 10-12 CSS/JS files. My problem is that I haven't found a way to suppress the links from being added to the page without having to hack every single extension being used.
One thought I had was to use mod_rewrite with the Forbidden flag for all of the CSS and JS files being requested except for the combined ones I created. My question is: Will this save much load time since the browser will still need to make the same number of requests? I am assuming it will be at least marginally better since nothing is being downloaded but wasn't sure if it would be noticeable.
However, when I put the extra code at the end of my redirect in .htaccess I get "Bad flag delimiters" and the internal server error page.I am using Apache 2.4 with PHP 5.4.11 on Windows.
Im in the process of setting up my ecommerce store selling baby/childrens clothing items etc. But I cant decide what webhosting site to use. Ive heard a lot about hostmonster and 1and1...which one of these are better?
Some of my clients are hosting OScommerce sites on my server(Centos5/WHM) and are requiring register golbals to be turned ON. Is there any way to have it ON only for this specific account.
IS there a way to have an OScommerce site working properly with register globals oFF.
an ecommerce site someone is planning on hosting. They will be selling around 100 products using OSCommerce and no creditcard etc details will be stored on the server. Do you think its a wise choice to start off on a shared host? If yes, are there any additional requirements they should look out for?
After a few threads on Web Hosting Talk, I have decided to go with Magento eCommerce CMS because it is powerful and I like it
The only thing I am looking for is a host that will support it and that will let me either upgrade to a VPS, or straight to a Dedicated Server (or maybe even a co-location). Because I am a startup business, the costs need to be low (yes, I know good hosting doesn't come cheap and I know I need to put into consideration SSL).
1 major thing. It NEEDS to be in the UK.
I was chatting to one of Rackspace UKs live help support people and they priced their entry level server at "£255 - £355 per month", which being a startup is a bit of a hefty price.
So, how do you think I should start? Shared, VPS or straight to dedicated? Also, what UK hosts do you recommend?
I'd like to get IP's direct from ARIN and use with a colo or dedicated server I run a few dozen domains almost all of which are ecommerce sites the ones which accept credit cards of course have SSL and a dedicated IP all the others right now are taking offline payments i'd like to get them all setup with SSL with their own IP since they are starting to bring in more sales. Sites right now are being hosted all over the place mainly vps and shared. I want to have them all on one or more servers that I have complete control over including the IP's. I'm new to the forums but did search for arin and read a few posts about the justification and from what I read SSL is justified to get IPs. Can anyone give me more information on what I should be doing first before applying or how to go about it with them. I'm looking at arin's fee schedule and i would apply under the x-small/micro allocation how much smaller from /20 do they go is there a specific number of IP's i would get for the app fee of $1250 a year or how does that work exactly?
Topics on good hosts have been repeated over and over again, and we have seen many new emerging while many old fading, and still too many have changed. In the past 2/3 years, what has happened to your host? Get your host listed in this thread if your host has kept their service as promised in the past 2/3 years or even longer. This will become a most useful map for new people to make their first step.
I am starting an ecommerce website and wondering if I should backup a site once a day, once a week, mutliple times a day after new products are added or what?
My site is geared towards diecast so its not like computers where theres millions of potential customers.
Which company would be better to choose for eCommerce hosting simplehelix.com or serverpoint.com?
The first one look like specialized in eCommerce hostting (only two plans, any type of eCommerce carts and magento dowloads, special server type) the seconed is just reliable and also provides support of any eCommerce carts.
I have 2 ecommerce sites now hosted at 2 different shared locations, both sites offer same exact products and pricing. I am in the process of elancing out the recode/rebuild for both sites to share one mysql database, cart and to be housed together in one VPS.
I plan to put them both on 1 windows VPS (they are asp) each with its own separate IP but have heard this can cause problems with search engines especially google. I have great natural organic right now (1st position for 5 of my demo keywords) and dont want to put that at risk but getting really tired of 2 separate backends, carts, hosting etc..
I've officially decided to go with Hostgator but I'm having a hard time choosing which type of plan would make the most sense for; maybe there is something I'm not seeing and I'm hoping to get some additional insight...
Here is my plan; I plan on hosting multiple domains (business and personal) and atleast one e commerce website to start and it will eventually grow into about 5 down the road (this is going to be a drawn out process and I want to do it right).
The problem I have is I realize in order to get a true ecommerce website up in running I will need a dedicated IP address and SSL certificate for each site. If I purchase the Business plan it only comes with one dedicated IP and one SSL cert; Hostgator also told me that I'm unable to add an additional dedicated IP address or SSL cert to the business plan so I would have to purchase an additional Business Plan (12.95) per each site. It sounds like I could still host private and not SSL required sites on the business plan and as much domains as I want.
If I go the reseller path then the cost per month will be twice as much as the Business Plan and there is no dedicated IP address included. I will also have to purchase dedicated IP addresses at 2.00 a month and SSL certs as well so that method could get expensive.
I'm also not sure if the baby plan would suffice as well, but apparently not because there is a limit of 1 dedicated IP per plan
What would you guys recommend I do; I want a plan that will allow me to grow with them.
Just curious on what your guys thoughts were..
Also I read a previous post in this forum that someone said their SSL cert prompted the end-user to install the certificate; Being in Ecommerce this is obviously unacceptable to me.
I have a disk in raid, but it seems raid is not working correctly. I took it out, and plug into another server without raid. However, fdisk shows error
Quote:
#fdisk /dev/sdb device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 20023. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
Command (m for help):
Should I correct the partition table now, or should I put it in another raid for checking?
One of my clients has two members of staff each with their own email addresses and mailboxes, working in separate locations. What they would like is to share incoming email enquiries to both of their addresses, so each sees the others mail. I'm thinking in cPanel I can set this up with forwarding so for example email to fred@widgets.com is forwarded to tom@widgets.com and vice versa, but will this set up a feedback loop? Or will cPanel know not to forward mail again that's already been forwarded?
My second question is that they also need some method of knowing if the other person has already dealt with an enquiry, so they don't end up both responding to the same email. They don't mind doing this manually by dragging messages into a separate "dealt with" folder when answered or suchlike, as long as they both can see what the other has dealt with. Does anyone know how to achieve this? They both use Outlook as their clients.
I've got a vB site which has a RSS Poster Bot (fetches RSS Feeds then posts them). However, for some strange reason, it stopped working. Theres no errors in the error_log and when I do a manual run, it just times out after a minute or so.
The only thing I can think of is that one of the RSS Feeds is down or one of the sites is blocking the server IP for some reason.
i have this really annoying issue i'm hoping you can help with.
it seems the spamd child process gets stuck and causes 100% cpu usage. but this doens't just happen randomly, its only for this single user account. e.g. take a look at top output:
the 93 is 93% cpu usage. 40:58 is how long the process has been running, 40 minutes and counting (i just killed it though). and all it tells me its running spamd child. it usually dies after a few hours but only after causing 200% cpu usage (100% on both cpus) and making my server load skyrocket. This happens at least twice daily at no set times.
this user isn't a spammer. no scripts, no mail queue generation, no email accounts even.
I have a weird problem since the movement of our ip range with one of our servers. Bind doesn`t seem to react on any changes we make.
For example, the server still resolves to the old ip adress while we changed all of those with ipswap.sh (directadmin) The weird thing is that all zone files are 100% Correct. Ip`s are all changed and no sign of the old ip whatsoever. Again, the nameserver still resolves to the old ip`s.
Also when i create a new domain, named.conf is changed and the zone file is created sucessfully. Still the nameserver doesn`t seem to add the domain name.
Restarting, reloading and even reinstalling named doesn`t help
It is my only (at present), and main production web server located in a datacentre in the Uk.
I am running Centos 4-4.2 since a hardware failure earlier this year neccesitated a stressful overnight ssh reinstall.
I have it setup pretty well now (I think!) but I cant work out how I am able to sftp into the server!
Reason being, I have installed VSFTPD (made sure there were no ftpd daemons installed or running), and when I stop this service via sshd, it does not affect the fact that I can then sftp in to the server using an ftp client such as wsftp pro...
Also, even when I change the vsftpd.conf to jail certain ftp users to a directory, it seems to have no effect and ftp works exactly as it did before without imposing the restrictions?
There is no other ftp daemon showing up in the process list.
I have tripwire installed, rootkit hunter, and cisco hardware firewall in conjunciton with ip tables.
I dont 'think' its hacked!
Also, the last time I upgraded centos was from an early v4 to 4.4.2 due to major hardware failure on the server and the fact I didnt have a mirrored OS/server backup (due to cost) *but I did of course have all my sites and databases etc) I am rather scared to upgrade Centos kernel to the latest version in part due to horror stories I have heard from others (NOT regarding Centos specifically) from kernel upgrades going wrong or compatibility issues etc that mean that I am very very reluctant to do it on our main production server..
I am imminently buying another server to act as a failover and backup for the existing one,but is keeping my current Centos install as it is and holding out to wait for a test server the best thing to do? (are there any serious security issues in 4.4.2? bugs etc?) Or should I have confidence and get Yum to do its business!
It seems that i am facing some weird Apache issue.
I cant access my forum.domain.com but can access forum.domain.com/admin
I didnt found anything in Apache error logs,but found this in access logs IP HERE - - [26/Dec/2007:03:13:44 +0400] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 22435 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"
Is there anything strange in that info and what does 22435 represent?
On one of my Web sites I have it set to e-mail me whenever someone tries a SQL Injection attempt through the GET.
(I find some of the results interesting and/or funny.)
I also have it e-mail me the visitor's IP address and browser client. I recently got one with a result for the IP address that certainly got my interest.
It read: Quote:
<?php phpinfo(); echo "LOOOOL, X-FORWERD BUG"; ?>
The PHP scripting I use to get the IP address is:
Code: $visIP = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; I guess I'm wondering how they may have done it, and if this indicates an issues where people can hack my site (for control or at least info) through this method?
