Which Type Of Web Hosting

Apr 29, 2009

I need to switch two corporate web sites from a provider which has been providing spotty up time and poor reliability especially on their email servers; worst thing about them is that when they're down we get no notice, until we notice or customers complain. We've had outages for email that lasted as long as 72 hours. I'm not sure how our service is configured there, but I would guess shared hosting.

I understand the differences in shared hosting, virtual private or dedicated server, and dedicated hosting unmanaged or managed. What I'm not sure about is what would be best for our needs. If I dont get other advice, I'll probably sign up for shared hosting with a provider that has other service types available.

We do not do any E-commerce, but our website is our advertising and if we're down we can lose sales. Our customers need access to documentation downloads and get upset if we're down. Our current site has shown these statistics on average per day: 3000-4000 hits, 3000-4000 files 200 visits. Our monthly bandwidth was a maximum of 2GB over the past year. We need less than 50 email addresses.

Phone support is necessary, 24/7 would be nice. We need server monitoring and security, good uptime and reliability statistics or a guarantee. Control panel and statistics would be nice. We dont need any website design tools.

I've used Futurequest for a website in the past but their geared to E-Commerce and have no phone support. I have some websites registered with Dotster but they're very light on support. A colleague has used Lunarpages for similar businesses, I think, and he recommended them. He indicated they were good for him with phone support.

If you're still reading, I'd appreciate any guidance, both for type of service and for specific providers.

New Type Of Hosting Affiliate

Apr 9, 2009

on my internet travels today I found a site that provides a warranty on web hosts. I'm not entirely sure of the details so I can't really comment on it but I found it rather interesting.

Anyway, some deeper digger found that this site is merely a rebranded hosting affiliate, with their top provider rank held by the one and only, Bluehost!

Choosing A Type Of Hosting And Provider

Apr 20, 2009

my company's current hosting contract expires in May and I'm in need to find another one that will hopefully suit me better and cause much less headache.

I'll try to list some basic needs I got:

10gb bandwidth
10gb space
Mass email marketing ability! This is important!

I have a member list of about 30,000 who I email twice a week! These people are opt-in recipients of these emails.

On top of that I'd like to start mining and sending out opt-in requests of about 50-100,000 a month to NEW emails that I don't have direct permission to email.

I obviously have software to manage, clean, send out in batches, and do whatever else you have to for proper email marketing.

From some research I got the idea that I would be better off with some offshore VPS/dedicated host that won't shut us down for emailing. We will do our best to keep the bounces at minimum as well as keep up-to-date blacklists/unsubscribers.

Limiting Factors On A Shared Hosting Type

Oct 13, 2009

What limiting factors should clients most look into when they shop for a type of hosting, starting with shared ? When these factors are importants, a client would at least go for VPS.

I listed some of them I know (for a shared/reseller hosting type) :

- Fact that you can only host websites (no backup, no specialties hosting)

- No control over what's installer on the server

- Can go to slow to fast, depends on which sites you're hosted with

- Account can be suspended in case of traffic surge

- No SSH most of the time

What Type Of Hosting For Online Clothing Website?

Mar 31, 2008

I'm starting a streetwear clothing company and am about to get a website done to display my catalogue - it will have medium amounts of flash and will be like most other e-commerce clothing stores

However, I won't be needing a full e-commerce site as I do not intend to sell through my website - if needed, all I hope to have on it is a link for payments to be made via paypal

What I will need is a host that is reliable and doesn't bug out as soon as traffic to my site increases - I have no idea as to the amount of traffic i will be receiving when things are just starting out but I'd like to at least be prepared for high traffic - I was stupid enough to believe in all the overselling from big hosting companies until I did more reading - now I know their limits are just for show and I want to avoid getting shut down or whatever for putting a load on their resources

My hope is that some of you learned ones can advise me on the direction i should be heading Though I have no idea exactly what VPS and dedicated servers are, I assume these are more suitable for my needs? Are big hosting companies more reliable when it comes to their package plans for VPS or dedicated servers?

Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Cannot Set Hosting Type - Getting Error

Apr 7, 2014

When I try to set a domain's hosting type from "Forwarding" to "Website hosting" I get the following error:

Error:
Unable to start (/c ""C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskadminbinusermng.exe" exist [username]")
at Plesk impersonation(PipeServer::ServerThread::runAs line 886)

What I tried:
- Using different usernames;
- Checked plesksrv.exe permissions [URL] ;

And right now I'm running the PP Reconfigurator tool, option Plesk File Security, cause I think this issue is related with permissions.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Domain / Subdomain - Hosting Type?

Nov 28, 2014

Following configuration given:

Abo with "domain.com" - Hosting Type - Webspace (with E-Mail Services)
Subdomain "sub.domain.com" - Hosting Type - Forward

Customer asked us to activate Forward for "domain.com "to other Domain for 2 weeks - but as soon as a Subdomain points on a Domain - I can NOT change the Hosting Type anymore ... WHY???

If I want to change Hosting Type from Hosting to Forward for some weeks - it always deletes the whole Webspace for the Domain ... ?!?

1) Why can't I change Hosting Type when a Sub-Domain is created?
2) Why can't I tell Plesk to change Hosting Type WITHOUT deleting the whole Webspace ...

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Error Changing Type From Forwarding To Web Hosting

Dec 6, 2014

I have installed Plesk 12.0.18 on my server and want to change the hosting-type from "Forwarding" to "Web hosting". I change the type via "Websites & Domains" view (see attachments).

After I insert username and password, I get following error message:

Some fields are empty or contain an improper value. ('home' = '')

Deleting the domain and creating it from scratch is a bad option. I would have to create all e-mail accounts and migrate the data.

What Type Of Node Would You Rather Be On

Mar 6, 2009

Well the age old question for virtual servers, would you rather a host put all his eggs into one basket "monster node" or several smaller ones. From a provider standpoint one server is easier to manage than several, although if that one goes down, all your customers do with it. Lower costs for the provider, s/he can then pass the savings along.
Example Package:"2GB Ram Packages, 500GB bandwidth, and 20GB space."

The "EXAMPLE" Specs.

All in one

Max Clients: 126
4U Rackmount,
4 Quad Cores, "16 total cores"
256GB DDR2,
8 600GB SAS 10k,
RAID10
Several Server setup:
Max Clients: 14
1U Rackmounts,
Single Quad Core, "4 cores"
32GB DDR2,
2 300GB SAS 10k,
RAID1

If you could tell me why you picked either or.

What Type Of Server To Handle

Mar 13, 2009

I have a client that asked me to educate myself about web hosting and make a recommendation to him about where he should be. He currently has a shared hosting server at Network Solutions and finds unexplained slow downs and disk corruption reports in his forums DB unacceptable.

I'm glad I found this site-lots of good info but nothing like throwing up some stats and seeing what people recommend. The client told me he wanted to move to a dedicated server but I'm thinking a VPS might do the trick. Especially if upgraded with dedicated Core as well as RAM such as wiredtree is offering.

Looking for a managed, Unix based server that in a typical month serves
100k unique visitors
230k page views
500Gb of downloads

But needs to be easily upgradeable to handle his expected traffic levels in the next year of monthly visits in the order of:
250k unique visitors
600k page views
1.1Tb of throughput
As far as features:

*Currently they use about 15 gigs of disk space. Some of that is inefficient disk management but the bulk is them supporting previous software releases.

*needs to be fully managed

*US datacenter with all the features you guys would expect to have as far as backbone access, security, power backups, etc..

*Backups by provider. Let's say 5 gigs worth since the old software versions don't really need to be backed up.(I'll recommend his own backups as well)

*Either plesk or cpanel

*15 minute hardware SLA is what the client is asking for but i'd like to present some comparisons to 1 hour SLA companies to see how much he'd save.

And finally, i tried to search for the answer to this but the keywords kept bringing up lots of hits without good info. The client sells software so the bandwidth needed is pretty consistent until they release a new version. Then it skyrockets to the point they may have 1500 people trying to download a 50Meg file simultaneously. What is the right way to handle that? Use a CDN or negotiate with the hosting provider to provide burstable bandwidth as needed. As a side note while looking at many offerings I was most surprised that bandwidth seems to sold in large chunks with overage costs hidden.

Content Type Setup

I have the following problem with character encoding. We use utf8 in our database and generate html pages where content type is also set to utf8. If I check the source code it really shows utf8 in the head section.

However if I check header of the server answer (Note, this is not in the html) it reports an iso-8859-2 content type and it seems the browser takes this value and not the value from the html head.

How can I set the content type of the server header to utf8?

A MySQL database was installed using cPanel. After naming it "movabletype" it was automatically named "username_movabletype". Not sure if that matters.

File locatations:
/public_html/mt-static (support directory is writable)
/public_html/cgi-bin/mt (permission 755 was enabled for cgi files)

When trying to install by entering the file location in a web browser, it says it cannot be located, unknown error.

Type Of KVM/IP Switch With Something Extra

Jan 2, 2008

KVM/IP switches are a wonderfull thing, aren't they?

Lifesavers they can be..

Anyway, I'm looking for a module compareable to KVM/IP, but with the extra feature to remotely mount an image using an USB port of a server.

Basically so its possible to install a server remotely over IP, w/o having a physicall CD in the KVM/IP switch (or using hardware similar to IPMI's from HP/Dell/SM). Does such hardware excist?

I don't need multiple users to log in, or to control multiple server at the same time (login for each server would be handy though). Only 6~8 ports are required.

The only problem I could forsee with it is that my rack might get messy.. 8 servers, 8x2 powercable (A+B), plus 8x2 UTP, plus KVM, plus USB..
