Which Web Sites For Technical Information On Windows Hosting
May 15, 2007
I work for Microsoft. Used to be a regular participant on Web Hosting Talk a few years ago (then moved over to Europe at that time). I've been doing some work recently that has led me back to the community here to ask for some input on where administrators of Windows-based hosting services go to find technical information.
How often might you use the following two Web sites?
1) [Hosting Solutions on TechNet]
2) [Windows Hosting Discussions]
I've just re-registered a new account so I have to do the five post thing before I can insert links, otherwise I'd to a direct link to the two above. If you're not familar with them, just do a Web search for those phrases and the sites will be at the top of the list.
Are there other Web sites that you use regularly for technical information on operating Windows hosting services? Or do you mostly just enter a phrase in Google and temporarily use the Web site/s that come up in the search results?

I am running Windows Webserver for more than 2 years.
I wanted to ask that, does anyone ever has bad experience with Windows Server ? Like ASP problems, like ASP connections limit FULL, or server Halt or Restart due to huge requests of ASP or ASP connections limit on server. Please let me know if you experienced any such issue.
I am thinking to use ASP pages fully with huge traffic on Windows Server (but i doubt that maybe there could be some ASP limitations when large amount of ASP pages open, it creates some problem). Or do you recommend Linux servers over Windows for High Traffic website ?

I have about 5 sites all hosted on my same hosting account. One of those domains is attached to the hosting account. I place my other domains in a folder of a sub-directory of my main domain. This has been working fine, up until today when i noticed a weird error. I give you a little example of how my sites are setup
my main domain:
www.maindomain.com
My other sites hosted in a sub-directory of my main domain:
www.maindomain.com/sites/site2/
www.maindomain.com/sites/site3/
How my other sites appear on the web:
www.site2.com
www.site3.com
This works fine for every page until i go to www.site2.com/index.php
It redirects to www.maindomain.com/sites/site2/index.php for some reason

This has been happening for about 6 months, someone has been exploiting my windows server and causing 300 php.exe processes to run, therefore making the CPU usage go to 100% and cause all php sites to not function. It is a perl script, and I had gotten ahold of the explot, but am unsure how to block it,
what the following is doing, and how to block it.. once I find the script again I will add it to the post..
I am using Plesk on my box.

I do wanted to know if there is any option to program plesk, so that it does separately backups of all sites instead of doing a globally backup of all things in one file.
I do not mind that people an synchronize their account with one of their ftp servers to do backups but what I do want is me also to do backups of all sites separately.

I am interested in your suggestions as to what I should do. I need a setup that will allow me to host several sites. They are mostly my own and low traffic. I do not offer hosting to any other folks, if so, i will set the sites up myself. I need mysql, email and virus checker, php, and firewall. I would like unix/linus hosting and am used to cpanel. Would prefer east coast hosting since many sites pertain to local areas there. I was thinkg of a reseller or webmaster package.

I was wondering the following:
1) How many client accounts is it safe to run under a VPS with 256MB RAM, provided that the clients will be using Virtualmin (safe?) and max a forum each (say phpBB) with regular expectations/traffic.
2) Why do people limit the number of MySQL client databases living in a server. Is it reliable service (won't crash) to provide 5 mysql dbs per client in the above VPS specs?
3) How do I limit the quota on a MySQL db? For example 50MB of space per db.

who host ~20-30 doorway sites in his reseller account.
The main question is, that i don't know, does "doorway sites" illegal, do they restrict any rules, TOS? (webhosting business isn't my main business, so i'm newbie in this area)
There insn't anything abnormal in his sites. main page it's like sitemap, where are lister links to secondary pages (html static pages).
when i click on this links, i redirected to other sites (PPC, another sites don't hosted on our server, etc)
if it's illegal, i'll ask to move to another host, if no ...

Hi I've never worked with a dedicated host, and I was considering going with hostgator, because they provide managed hosting and cPanel, which I'm fond of.
This is not for my own sites, but for someone I work for as a programmer/webmaster. He has asked that I make the decision on this, even though I've basically advised against it, due to my lack of experience with dedicated hosting.
I've also looked at lunarpages, doesn't seem to be much different than hostgator. Here are links to their pages...
http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated.shtml
http://www.lunarpages.com/dedicated-hosting/
Does anyone have experience from either of these? I don't think the sites hosted on the server are going to be particularly high bandwidth sites (I don't really think they even need a dedicated host) ... do you think we'll be okay with a single 2.8 Ghz processor?
Also, does anyone have any advice as far as the number of sites hosted on the server? He wants to move ALL of them to the same server. Any thoughts on whether or not this is a good idea?
I know I've asked a lot here but I'm really getting into new territory. If you can provide any input on ANY of the above items, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Warning: I do not want to re-open discussion on some previous threads about the legality of inode limitations. If it gets to that, please feel free to close this thread.
Reading through some other posts about inodes made me look at my own VPS setups. I use XenSource 3.1 on a CentOS 5 Dom0, using LVM for VM storage. When I create a new virtual machine (CentOS5 or Ubuntu, etc) I format the root filesystem with ext3. I use all the defaults, including number of inodes. So for a 20 gigabyte filesystem, I get:
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 20G 453M 19G 3% /
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 2621440 13861 2607579 1% /
Would there be any advantage to limiting the number of inodes a VPS has? Sure, if you had 200,000 inodes instead of 2.6 million inodes, you would have more available space. But there doesn't seem to be a hard limitation on the disk drives I'm using (WD 250GB SATA using linux software raid 1). I assume I could set any amount of inodes to a filesystem?

I am thinking of Futurehosting.biz unmanaged server.
Can you please see if these skills are enough:
(1) Futurehosting will do the security setups.
Skill-sets:
(2) use of ssh to backup mysql, directory contents; do file management (create directories, move files); restore mysql
What other skill-sets do i need?
(3) do i need to know how to install o/s? (gulp!)
(4) setup email accounts?
(5) create sub-domains?
I thought of downloading webmin (i read about it in the other posts but have no experience) and will it help in points (3) to
(5)?

I have moderate experience in administrating. I recently got a quarter cabinet, and I have 2 servers in there.
I have registered a company name, as a domain which is currently hosted at GoDaddy (www/mail) (mydomain.com)
But I have installed centos5 on one server, and called it web1.mydomain.com, added the web1 CNAME in GoDaddy's DNS control. Even did an rDNS to it through my provider.
I have installed Webmin on it to help me add virtual servers (who will be my customers)
And web1.mydomain.com has a mail server on it (Postfix).
Might even put DNS on it. These virtual servers will send emails as well (as I'll be hosting them)
But for now, what will be my next steps in getting my mail server (or the main server) accepted in the web world, for example, I've done SPF records, and rDNS. But what else do I need to do so my email is accepted everywhere?
The virtual domains will be sending mail using the postfix, and ofcourse it'll mean they're piggybacking on web1.mydomain.com, so I guess I need to do stuff so email from web1.mydomain.com will be accepted worldwide.

As a domainer I have several domainnames I like to add to a hostingaccount.
Many of the domains will have a blog or minisite.
At this moment I have a shared hosting account with unlimited domains.
But for seo reasons it is better not to link the domains/urls to eachother cause they have the same IP.
What can you recommend me to have all the domains on different IP's?
Or is there another way to do this,I heard something about c-class....
If I have to put the domains on different IP's on my shared hosting account I will have to pay $2,50 for an IP per month,this will be quite expensive.
