Preferred Currency At Canadian Datacenters
We currently have a managed server at a datacenter in Ontario, and the provider had always charged us in USD. This is fine with us, as most of our revenue is in USD and then we're not subject to currency risk. Now that the Canadian dollar has reached parity and then exceeded the USD, I'm wondering more about this policy. Is it typical that datacenters in Canada price in USD, or is our provider the exception? They list prices on their site only in USD, despite being a Canadian company and only having facilities in Canada.

Preferred Operating System For Web Serving
I have been online since 95 and I've got a lot of information I could help others with regarding web development and interface design. One thing I'm terrible at is System Administration, but I'm getting better and my first step is to pick a reliable operating system for both the webservers and the database servers. Would anyone be willing to answer the following questions or point me to a thread that already discusses these? A little background, our site has 200k members, 30k active and is growing by about 5k a week. We still run MySQL 4.0.27 on the DB servers and they are running FC2. The webservers are Apache 1.3.37 and PHP 4.4.2 running FC2 and FC4 as well. My questions 1. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the web servers? and a "few" reasons why? 2. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the database servers? and a "few" reasons why?

Which Distro For Vps Did You Pick
This is a tough question cause the distro you choose makes all the difference. So my question now is if your choices were: Centos 4 or 5 (32bit or 64bit) Ubuntu (32bit) Debian (32bit) which would you pick and why? on a side note I believe that the distro that gets picked the most is the one that has the most servers and if someone were to pick one thats not favored by many then he/she may get a faster server cause there wont be so many VPSs on it. Correct in this assumption?

Ubuntu Or CentOS? (Or Some Other Distro?)
I've always used CentOS for my servers. But now there's this Ubuntu thing taking off! Is Ubuntu taking off on the server side as well or is Rhat still king? Is there a site where I can get % numbers for which distros are most popular (on servers, not desktop)? (This is as a customer/admin not a hosting provider).

OpenSolaris Distro For Zones/ZFS?
I've been looking for the best OpenSolaris distribution for hosting Solaris Zones backed by ZFS. I don't know how many good responses I will get back, but my options are below: OpenSolaris 2008.5 - I've heard slow updates, but this is good for VPS hosting where we don't want many reboots -- release cycles like RedHat. Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) - Very fast development like Fedora, but bugfixes are released much faster. Downside is much more maintenance to get all those bugfixes. Nexenta - This is the OpenSolaris kernel built around a GPL userland (Debian based, uses apt, etc). Does anyone have any experience with this? It seems releases are not as fast as SXCE, but quicker than OpenSolaris and it supports all the OpenSolaris features such as Zones/ZFS and even allows for Debian/Ubuntu zones. Any input would be highly appreciated, especially from those running 1 or more of the above distributions.

I would prefer if they had some kind of 24/7 live chat.

Whats Up With BLUE VIRTUAL
I have been with Blue Virtual (bluevirtual.com) for many years, since the Communitech days. However, the service these past few weeks has gone downhill big time. The BV forums are dead, the webhosting is up and down like a yoyo, mail is intermittent. Not just me but fellow users are experiencing the same. Support tickets are going unanswered (accounts & tech. support).

Whats Important To You In A Colo Facility
We are in the process building a new colocation facility and I wanted to take some input from everyone here. We have most of the infrastructure planning and layout done but were still early on in the construction phase so now is the last chance to get some input. I have two main questions I wanted to ask. 1)When your looking for a colocation facility what things are most important to you? 2)Have you ever wished that datacenters offered something outside the normal things that most providers do.

Whats The Point Of Multiple DNS Servers
I have never understand this? Honestly, what is the point if they all point to one web server? I mean if the web server fails it doesnt do any good if you have 10 DNS servers. The only time it makes sense to me to run multiple DNS servers is if your DNS server is a piece of junk, and always goes down, which honestly doesnt happen that much.

Windows Vs Linux Hosting ..?
a speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license... whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers.. So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform Windows... or Linux

The New Way Of Hosting With Linux At Home
The best way to start today is with a small biz website hosted under linux at home. I believe this is the solution... if your website grows generating profits you can buy more computers or servers this will pay the expenses itself... No hiden fees, no monthly fees (except a few more dollars for electricity). I host in ubuntu server edition with gnome-desktop surfing, working & hosting at the same.

Linux Hosting And Security
About next week, I'll put a Linux box on the web. Could anyone suggest what kind of security measures I could implement? Iptables: - Protect against DDos? - Protect against certain worms? - Protect against flooding? Services: - Protect against constant dictionary attacks based on ports? Pretty much any experience you could put down in this thread would be invaluable. Also mod, if this shouldnt be here. Feel free to move, Im not sure where it should go!

Windows + Linux Shared Hosting
This one may be a bit of a stretch, but does anyone know of a shared host who gives you both Windows and Linux hosting with one account? It is possible, as the company myhosting.com seems to offer it, and I think (mt) MediaTemple has some betas with it. Update: Apparently MyHosting.com does it by giving you a primarily windows account with a linux sub-domain. That would work for me, but I'd rather a more known provider.

Managing Linux Apache Hosting
I'm a window type of guys and considered myself more proficient using windows operating system. However, when it comes to linux, i have not really a clue except some simple command i learnt from CMD that also applied to linux. I have a root access to my dedicated box and I use putty for SSH. Problem is from there, what kind of usual and daily web admin do to the ssh? In other words, what is the daily routine of Network Admin in Linux? Any recommendation of website that introduce me to using ssh to use remote linux server?

Windows Web Hosting To Linux
I'm currently hosting some websites using XAMPP/Apache/MySQL (obviously with heavily edited configs) on Windows. The largest site has around 40,000 forum members and grows extensively every day. Would I see better benefits buying a Linux/*nix server for web hosting needs? What flavour of Linux/*nix would be best suited out of the following options: CentOS 4 (32 bit) CentOS 4 (64 bit) CentOS 5 (32 bit) CentOS 5 (64 bit) Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch/Stable (32 bit) Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch/Stable (64 bit) Fedora Core 6 (32 bit) Fedora Release 7 (32bit) FreeBSD 6.2 (32 bit) Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake (32 bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - 5 (32 bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - 5 (64 bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - ES 4 (32 bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - ES 4 (64 bit) Also, would using a control panel such as cPanel (I'd say Plesk, but very bad experience with it on Windows) be beneficial? The above would be going on a single process Quad Core with 4GB RAM.

.JSP Page Will Not Display On GoDaddy Linux Hosting
I can not get a .JSP page to display on a deluxe hosted GoDaddy account. I have tried the most basic page. Just to make sure I do not have a type-o, I even used an HTML page to direct me. Here is the HTML page that has the hyperlink. This page displays fine. Code: <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> Here is a test page <a href="test.jsp">Test JSP</a> </body> </html> Here is the JSP page that can not be displayed. Code: <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" [url] <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> Here is a test JSP page </body> </html> When I click on the link, I get the HTTP 400 error saying the webpage could not be found. I know the code works since I have tested it locally. Plus the code is very simple. I am very stumped here and have tried GoDaddy’s help multiple times. They keep telling me it is a scripting issue. I am not sure how it can be a scripting issue because there is no script here. Basically, it is an HTML page with a .JSP extension.

My preferences: I would like to host 3-5 sites at least 2 will have shopping cart's (5 MySql databases MAX), not much of audio or video at all. I don't want to spend more than $10 monthly.

Suitable UK Linux Hosting Packages For Lots Of Small Sites
Does anyone know of a hosting Linux package (must be UK based) that has the usuals (PHP, MySQL, subdomains, email, Apache ModRewrite) that is geared towards hosting lots of low bandwidth sites? I use several great hosters but they limit the amount of addon domains or charge you through the roof for extra ones. I'm thinking a package that will let me do 15 - 25 domains. More would be a bonus. The bandwidth allowance is not a problem. A lot of my customers' sites use less than 100 MB a month.

Hosting Review Site Or Top 3 Hosting Co. For Shared Hosting
I'm trying to find at least three web hosting companies to choose from to host a Joomla websites on a shared server. Would consider dedicated if the deal was right. I have a friend of mine who wants to create a church website, and is looking for the best deal. I use Netfirms which I have never had an issue with, but I didn't want to be bias, and would like give him other options to choose from. Is there a good WebHosting Review site, I could check out, or maybe someone could recommend their top three. I reading threw the forums here and I noticed there are not that many complaints with Hostgator. Again, I just want to see if there was anything out there better.
