What Do I Insert Under DNS In My Registrar's Domain Options
Mar 8, 2007
I was able to finally set up a dedicated server, and now I'm finallly off to the easier stuff.
Two quick questions:
1) How do I make it so my domain name takes me to my server's address? You know, just like how shared hosts give you the nice little DNS addresses that make everything magically work.
I could just forward the domain to my server's IP, though that would not display the domain name in every page, the way it's supposed to be.
2) When I visit my server's IP, it gives me the apache welcome screen saying everything was successfully installed. That page is locaed under /var/www/apache2-default. I find that "var" directory a bit strange, is it supposed to be there? And more importantly, when I add the real stuff I want on my site, should it all go under the "apache2-default" directory? It seems to be set as the default home page dir, right?

My environment: Parallels Plesk v12.0.18_build1200140606.15 os_Debian 7.0 64bits - postfix
In documentation about Server-wide-mail settings
In Plesk for Linux with the Postfix mail server, you can change the IP address used for sending mail. Also, if your server sends mail from domain IP addresses, you can specify which name will be used as a host name in SMTP greetings.
Choose from the three options:
◦Send from domain IP addresses. By default, mail from each domain is sent using the domain's IP address. The host name used in SMTP greeting is defined by the configuration of the mail server.
◦Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting. If selected, Plesk changes the mail server configuration so that the SMTP greeting will contain the name of the domain from which an email message is sent.
This option prevent the sender's IP address from being put into public black lists, such as the Spamhaus or OpenBL lists. This might happen if the mail server host name is used in SMTP greeting for the messages sent from domain IP addresses. Some recipient servers consider such messages as spam.
We recommend that you use this option if you host less than 100 domains. In case of a large number of domains, using this option significantly increases the load on the server.
◦Send from the specified IP address. You might want to use certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for all outgoing mail.
Sending all mail from the specified address might be useful, for example, if the IP address of the mail server was put into public black lists, such as the Spamhaus or OpenBL lists. If you select None, outgoing mail will not be sent.Click to expand...

I recently found a similar thread on these forums while googling about the subject but it was old so I made a new thread. What I really need is some advice on what I should do. Is separating the registrar and host really a good idea. And who are the best 2 sites for doing so?
on the subject of ownership of the domain. Does HostMonster let you retain ownership? (They're run by the same people as BlueHost)

I have set up a pair of name servers, the first one is accepted by the registrars and the second one is not. They have been configured identically as far as I can tell.
It appears that some test is run by the registrars to see if the name server can be used.
Is there any way I can find what test it is and get a way to run it to see what the problem is?
Are there scripts or sites where I can run whatever type of test it is and know what the problem is?

I just bought a new dedicated server, and when I try to apt-get something (anything like, bzip2, build-essential) I get this error:
Quote:
Media change: please insert the disc labeled
'Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.0 _Lenny_ - Official i386 CD Binary-1 20090214-16:29'
in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
I mean it's pretty self-explanatory, but seeing as how I can't put the CD in, because the box is not here, I have no clue what I'm supposed to do.
I've had a couple VPS's before, and never encountered this problem.
I'm running Debian 5.0 stable.

I run a wordpress blog with apache2+mysql5+php5 in a Debian vps with 1024mb ram (plus swap).
When you read the website everything works quick and smooth, but when you have to add data to the database (edit posts, write posts, write comments) something weird happens.
monitoring the system with the top and I see that, for example, as soon as an article has been posted (already got the "article posted" message in the page) the free ram goes suddenly down (some seconds) from 800mb to 0. Swapping starts and the website stops responding. in the meanwhile cpu "wa" goes high (90%++).
Typing ps aux I can see that is not mysql process's fault, actually it seems more that it's apache to cause this ram hogging, in fact an apache restart brings back tons of free ram.
this is my current my.cnf:

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 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?

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!

I am selling custom software and web-design solutions. After my "unforgetable" experience with PayPal and 2CO i have found URL - they are new on the market and this is why they are more responsive than PayPal, whose priority is quantity, not quality. Most probably there are other option as well - simply this one is the most acceptable for me as it does not require complicated registration process/documents. I don't know how to get a normal merchant account if you live where I live.(I am from Ukraine). Please advice me some merchant accounts with their full discription.

Currently 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'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'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.

Have been snooping on these forums for a while and doing my research but now I need some advice. Hope you can help...
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...
