to add an application firewall to an IIS server for PCI compliance reasons.
I know the breach product is one option. From what I can tell, they are the people that maintain mod_security now. Is that right?
Besides the breach appliance, what other options do I have for an application firewall for IIS 6 and IIS 7?
Still considering co-location and have been for many months! One thing I'm now thinking of is firewalls. What firewalls are available to me, what functionality do they have? What kind of additional protection can they give against DDoS attacks?
I really have no idea where to go with hardware firewalls. The bandwidth going through the firewall on average would be no more than 10mbit/s. Perhaps 20 with growth!
how you went about setting up your colo space with firewall protection
good firewall program that is recommended and includes the following;
- Attack Protection (Block the IP's automatically)
- Does all basic firewall necessities
- Uses the least amount of resources (CPU, Memory) possible
- Is the best out there
I currently use Sygate Firewall and find it very useful. Just would like to know if there is anything better than this.
I am just looking for the best that would be for my server. I host a couple game servers on there, and that is about it.
After install the ModSecurity Web Application Firewall for Apache no button for manageing module is displayed in plesk.
Installation was successful. How can I repair the button in plesk / webbased manage mod_security?

Do you recommend a software firewall when behind a hardware firewall?
All of our servers are behind Cisco ASA 5505 firewalls which we rent from Liquidweb. All are being managed correctly and setup to there optimal levels. With hardware firewalls firmly in place, do you still recommend a software firewall such as APF or IPTables (we're talking linux); in our opinion we see it as an extra administration overhead. If this is however untrue, we will change out thinking.
I've found a dedicated server at a great price and plan to stick with it, my first ( already have 2 vps accounts ). I don't have the money for a hardware firewall. However, I do have a chance to renew a Kerio WinRoute Firewall license from way back.
Does anyone think this would be better than the default windows 2003 firewall?
This is more aimed at providers but do you allow partial upgrades on RAM/Disk/Bandwidth?
I'm asking as we have one brand which is fully automated which I refuse to do partial upgrades on as its done as a budget and if a user needs more they need to upgrade to the next package but it is budget.
On our more expensive brands we do allow partial upgrades
I have a Windows VPS hosting account. Plesk control panel. I use PHP for my website. With this setup how can I Rewrite my url's from
www.domain.com/page.html?x=param1&y=param2
to
www.domain.com/page/param1/param2
When I try to search I only find URL rewrite for Linux based vps using php or windows based vps using dotnet or php
Am having a lot of this in my apache status in both, a dedicated server and a vps, i think is affecting our load,
example of just some of the ones that appear in the apache status (whm)

I host several web clients that were recently impacted by the crap at ThePlanet. As I think about how to be more redundant (and repetitive) I'm not sure of my options.
What's the best practice to ensure that if you have a server at a data center that goes out, that you can (somewhat) easily switch over to a different server? I suppose one solution is to have 2 servers at 2 physical locations, and then you could just change the DNS record in the event of failure, but is there another solution I'm not aware of? Is there a good resource I can goto to read up on this info?
I'm reseller vps, and now i decided to run own node, and sell vps, i choosed VDSMANAGER control panel, because virtuzzo is expensive.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCurrently I cache php to html in a folder, and any time I upload index.php the whole site recaches. It also is set to a specific time such as 1 day, and the specific page will recache on someone hitting a page in 1 day from last cache.
The problem is when there are thousands of people on, and the index.php is uploaded the site crashes due to connections to the database, and possibly writing to the folder as well.
What is the best way to cache these files to html, and not have it crash every time I try to update things on the site. Also it needs to be something somewhat simple.
My host has told me that my forum is coming under a DDOS attack. Once was on Friday March 20th and again today (monday march 23). Before those two, there are attacks almost every week, sometimes twice a week.
The host installed DoS-Deflate. It started blocking legitimate traffic and had to be removed.
The operating system is Linux CentOS, the forum software is VBulletin. The server is a VPS with 1 gig of memory.
Besides DoS-Deflate, what other options are out there?
Just curious if any of you know of good ways to handle the bandwidth costs associated with hosting high traffic video sites.
For a future project I plan a dedicated server, but was hoping there might be a cheap way to avoid bandwidth costs - such as Amazon S3 (however from my calculations this is an expensive option).
I want to know what does kill -6 PID does?
Is there anything else like kill -1,-2 (expect 9).

I'm currently working for a company who are looking to migrate there current business system and also create an e-commerce website.
The company (Company A) who were doing the migration were also going to originally take care of the e-commerce side of things aswell, but after looking at the website solution they have now decided to give it to another company (Company B) to deal with. But seem to be sticking with the original company to do the business system migration.
Now this has created a bit of a problem with regards to the hosting side of things (amongst other things ).
Originally this was all going to be hosted by Company A. This would keep it all nicely integrated.
But now Company B are doing the e-commerce side of things it needs to somehow integrate with the business database.
And now for the question (about time i hear you ask ).
Can you give me the pros and cons of the following scenarios:
Scenario A:
We host both business system (database) and webservers onsite.
Scenario B:
Company A hosts business (database) solution. We host webserver.
Scenario C:
Company A hosts business (database) system. Company B hosts webserver.
I know of ovh (ick), leaseweb/rackedge and thats about it (maybee ecatel I emailed)

looking for lower spec proc with 2 drives and 4-6TB on gigabit
I've recently taken out a new server and the management company I use have indicated that the HDD may be failing.
My server memory usage has been pretty much frozen at 85%+ since it went live, and there is only one live site on the server thats not at all active.
Because of this memory issue the management company discovered the HDD issue whilst probing around.
I contacted the server provider and they have said because its a single unit system that the only option they have is for me to have a new HDD and a simple OS reload.
This poses a problem for me because I've paid my management company to harden and configure the server for me - If my server provider reloads, I'll lose all the work I've paid for.
I find it a little unfair that this has happened with a new (maybe reconditioned server) and that I'm stuck in such a situation, but as is life..
I'm just wondering if anyone could suggest what I might be able to do about this. Is there anyway I could perhaps take a full backup of the entire server and reload it from a seperate server? Is there a service avaliable that offers this sort of thing? I can't get physical access to the server so there is no way of me going there and backing it up myself.
My old/original server that I moved from is still active. I think the current server has like 5-10Gb used so far.
How do I add all the options:
*Business Operations
*Business Monitoring
*Business Setup

I currently have a dedicated server with 1&1 hosted in Germany and running 15-20 small company/friend websites. Whilst I have been reasonably happy with 1&1 (mainly down to their dashboard and reboot/restore/serial console functionality and prices), it's time for an upgrade. I am also looking to move back to the UK in order to get a UK based IP and slightly reduced latency, I understand I will have to pay a little more for the luxury!
I'm looking at a dedicated server with the following specs:
- Single Dual/Quad Core Processor
- Min 2GB RAM
- Min 2 x 160GB HDD + Hardware RAID 1
- 2TB data/month should be OK
- CentOS 5 (other *nix?)
- Plesk (cPanel?)
- 10GB NAS Backup
- Remote Reboot Port
Budget is around £100/month. At the moment it's between UK2, WebFusion, UK Servers, Poundhost, RapidSwitch and 34sp. I need to get quotes from DediPower, UK Fast & UK Dedicated...
The other main option is to buy a reasonably-specced Dell PowerEdge R200 (or equivalent?) and colo it. A machine with Quad Core Intel Xeon X3320, 2.5GHz, 2x3MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, 2GB RAM, 2 x 250GB HDD, RAID 1 would cost about £700. Add colo from RapidSwitch and a Plesk license and the total is around the same as the best dedi offer.
Would welcome your thoughts on the benefits and pit-falls of renting vs. buying and recommendations for each based on my preferences. At the moment I'm swaying towards the buy and colo option as costs in year two will me much lower and I can resell/upgrade the hardware, but perhaps I'm missing something...
The great team over at Pair has treated our website (www.Team-BHP.com) exceedingly well. In fact, I'd also posted a review of my experience way back in 2005 (Linky). I'm a pretty demanding customer, yet have no complaints with Pair through this long association. Says a lot, wot?
However, I see Team-BHP outgrowing Pair in the near future. Our traffic increases by atleast 25 - 30% each quarter, and we are currently hosting on the QS5 server level. The server does choke occasionally during peak hours, hence an upgrade is inevitable sooner rather than later. The next (and final) level of upgrade from Pair is the QS6.....which is pretty expensive @ $1,500 bucks a month! I've seen other hosts offering the same kind of juice for half the money, yet never moved away from Pair simply because of their solid service + uptime. However, now that we are growing (and are poised for a more fruitful future ), what are some viable options I can look at?
Our requirement is QUALITY : Outstanding levels of service, uptime, reliability & security are imperative.
1. Any other reputable hosts that you may recommend? Our requirement would be standard fare for a medium size website (dual xeon, 8gb ram, 3 or 4 15K SAS raid 10 hard disks, backup, 100Mbs public + 1000Mbs private port and about 3000 GB of bandwith a month)?
2. Is co-location a good idea, considering that our core team really isn't all that tech-friendly?
As I understand it, PGP Desktop is not compatible with server os's. Also, TrueCrypt and BestCrypt containers have i/o overhead. What else is left? Environment is 2008 Server with high i/o throughput requirements..

Tend to be the top 3 monitoring solutions for most hosts? Maybe some of you gurus can help me choose which is right for me? (also open to other options not listed above).
We current resell servers in 8 data centers around the world. We offer managed and un-managed servers. So we would need to provide different types of monitoring for both.
For the un-managed customers, we will need to provide basic ping + datacenter monitoring.
For the managed we will need to monitor everything from head to toe.
We're also growing quite fast so this needs to be able to hold quite a few servers (300+).
Also something that is easy to work with is a plus!
