i "played" a little bit with linux years ago, with a debian based version, but i think i already forgot everything
So this theres this dedicated server that only has linux , one thing that i know that i'll be using for torrents, but not only it, so in general which distro will be easier for me to handle?
What's your preferred Linux Distro for hosting?
From the web hosting company point of view that is.
i want to run a vpn server. first i buy winodws vps from vpsland.com. but after that i found in windows vps it is not possible. so now i want to buy a linux vps.

is it any problem with hosting and vpn server ?
i choose ez series from vpsland.com cuz i satisfy from their support and also quality.
it is cost $15 monthly. also have 30domain plesk. and additional dedicate ip cost 1$ monthly. do you offer other vps?
I'm trying for days to decide which company I should use for my shared hosting/maybe (reseller(beginner)) (PHP/Linux), and hostmonster and bluehost have been getting the best "official" reviews but everybody else is complaining for their downtimes and unreliability. I'm currently with dailyrazor and today my site was down for sometime without the reason. I wasn't even informed about that. If I didn't checked myself it would be down god knows for how long. ...
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. Location US, Guarantied uptime 99.9%

There is no php support - so i can´t change or choose running as apache module or cgi application (s. screenshot)...

Between these linux OS, which one would you choose for in terms of stability & security?
View 14 Replies View RelatedIs there any distro that will do EFI without having to mess around with a ton of stuff, and hope it works? I have a Intel Max Mini, and I want to install a *nix distro on it to play with.
I tried CentOS, but i cant get grub onto the MBR
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?
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'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).
I was thinking about getting a new server and for the first time today my server crashed and cannot be rebooted so I guess now is a good time to upgrade to a new server. I want to get the Conroe 3040 server but was wondering if I should choose the Redhat Enterprise Linux - x86_64, Version 5 operating system or stick with the 32 bit?

we are going to setup a new server for one of ours customers:
Dual Processor QUAD Core Clovertown
4GB RAM
3 x 250GB Sata II hard drive in RAID 5
1 x 500GB backup HDD
CentOS + directadmin control panel (with MySQL5, PHP5 and Apache2)
this server will be used for e-learning (forum, chat, etc)
it is possible that we have to increase the RAM for 8GB
the questions are:
- do we need 64bits or it is better to use 32bits OS?
- with how much of RAM memory we do have to use 64bits?
I have taken the decision to move from shared to VPS in order to have two hostings (less risky) and learn more about servers (will certainly have to take a dedi one day).
Now I need to find a plan I can afford and I must say that I have all the variables:
- would like to pay with paypal on a monthly basis to avoid CC fees as I am outside the US,
- my budget is $10/month and would stretch it to $15 if it is for a very very good reason,
- a single dedicated IP would be enough, but would appreciate having more for SEO reasons,
- looking for linux based VPS (don't see why I would take Windows),
- don't have the least experience in managing a server though an experienced Windows
user and willing to learn,
- have used cPanel (not a fan) and 1and1 control panel, and don't think getting used to another CP would be a problem for me,
- the server will mainly host static websites (very light html pages) with medium traffic (a total of 100 K pageviews a month), I also have a wordpress blog with minimal traffic and a punbb forum with little traffic,
- I currently use something like 5 GB of Bandwidth monthy alltogether! so I think that leaves me a lot of room to expand
- storage space isn't a problem as I am currently using less than 400 Mb with a lot of useless files, so something like 1 Gig would be more than enough space,
- if I can (not a choice criterion), I would put two proxies on the server using an additional 120 GB monthly bandwidth,
I'm trying to add a new nameserver in WHM. But it won't let me choose the IP it will use. It just assign some IP.
How should I do to change the IP to the one I want to use?
I need a windows VPS to run a VPN server on it. I had a service from KickAssVPS, the guys are great, but i had a problem there and that was i couldn't start the RRAS service, and it seems their support didn't have any clue to fix the problem on Virtuozzo, so i'm trying to find another company to start my VPN Server there, without any problem on this matter.
so i'll appreciate your comment if u had the same experience and know how and where i can establish a VPN server.
besides i'm looking into ASPnix services, it seems they're using Hyper-V, and i thought i wouldn't have the RRAS problem on their servers, so if u guys have an opinion on their company i'm glad to here that.
I am now in process of choosing ssl certificate from certificate authority for one of the sites I administer and I got confused.
I visited numerous sites offering certs and I concluded:
- I don't need EV certificate
- 128 bit certificates can vary in price at different providers from $25 to $100 and higher
- some sites are offering 128 bit at lower price and 256 or 515 bit certs at higher prices
I don't understand why are some certs so expensive? Doesn't 128 bit cert form any provider at any price provide the same level of security?
I thought 128 bit encryption is unbreakable. Why do someone buys 256 or 512 bit cert at higher price?
Some of those more expensive certs are offering "higher level of security", warranties... Is that only marketing or there is some real value behind additional features?
what type of Hosting I should choose.
I am making a website which will have Videos (about 120mb each) streaming to visiters to the site. Which type of host would be beset for this, VPS or Dedicated? Also what is a good host that can provide the service for about 2k visits a day to start with?
I run a small family website and I'm looking for a new web host. I have read some reviews and compared prices. However, many look the same in regards to services they offer. I don't really know on what criteria to base my decision. I don't really need much (e.g. space, bandwidth).
View 14 Replies View Relateda friend recently contacted me about a music webzine and forum, which is having frequent issues on its current host. The site is built in PHP, using Xoops for the webzine and phpbb2 for the forum.
In the last year, the site's traffic has been steady at 1200 unique visits, ~3500 page views and ~140,000 hits per day, for a total transfer of 20GB per month. The site's MySQL database is more than 600mb of data. Most of the site's traffic is generated through the forum, which usually has around 30 users online. Although a small community, most users are very frequent posters. Being a phpbb2 forum, it is quite CPU intensive and currently the MySQL server has frequent failures.
Our immediate plan is to switch to another provider, then upgrade to phpbb3, tweak its code and probably rewrite the webzine in Python/Django so as to implement new needs in a faster manner and make the site performe steadier and faster.
As the site is not-for-profit and therefore cost-sensitive, we are considering two plans:
1) switch to Webfaction on its first (or second) shared hosting plan, for a cost of $10/month.
2) switch to Linode for an unmanaged VPS with 360MB of memory, for a cost of $20/month.
If the latter option is selected, we plan on using the following setup: nginx for static content (and possibly PHP if phpbb doesn't complain), Apache + mod_python for django, MySQL and mail server with MySQL virtual folders (to handle multiple domains). SpamAssassin is another consideration. The problem is I haven't actually used a VPS in the past, although I've read extensively on how to set it up and tweak the server's settings for optimal performance.
My questions are:
a) would a VPS (with the above setup) with 360MBs of memory be able to handle the traffic load mentioned above or will we be forced to upgrade to a plan with more memory?
b) would a reliable shared web host be able to handle the site's traffic load without problems, thus making the switch to a VPS unnecessary? More specifically, would webfaction, if someone has previous experience, be able to handle it?
Which host should I choose?
[url]
[url]
[url]
The plan features are enough in all those three, but can't decide what host to choose.
I'm migrating to another hosting service as current provider(aplus.net) suspended my account. The reason what they gave was, I had overused their CPU and Mysql resourses which is quite impossible. My site is just a community forum with photo sharing and maximum concurrent user in past few weeks was just 26. They are forcing me to upgrade to dedicated service which I can't afford($150/month) if I want my site online agiain. So I have no choice but to migrate. My budget limit is $30 and bandwidth/space requirement is 30gb. Any suggeston which hosting should i choose?

How to choose a good web hosting?
What aspects need to be paid attention to?
i want to buy a 20$/month hosting for vtiger crm,and so i can run a web office to manage my small company,upload product images and client contact infos.
i want to buy mediatemple .net 's gs plan ,their visit speed is very fast and they offer 100G space,
but they don't accipe paypal only credit card,and if i want to pay with paypal ,i should pay 12 months one time.that's 200 $.too much for me at one time ,high risk for me ,and i seen some negative review on some hosting review site and their support is not so fast,i must wait a long time to get a reply
then i go to [url],they are also very fast site visit speed,but they looks only for magento hosting and the price is high,for 20$ they only 5G webspace and 50G bandwidth that's not enough in long term
i still don't know which one to choose or any other hosting with fast visit speed.
I still don't know which control panel to choose. AYKsolutions.com offers them a lot on their dedis but which way to go?
They offer: Cpanel/DA/Plesk/Helm.
