With increased traffic lately I'm trying to plan my next move so I was hoping for some kind recommendation from you guys.
My current setup is 1 VPS from knownhost (managed) where i have my wordpress sites and 1 VDS at FDC (unmannged) for static content like images and zip files but i would like to have everything in one place because it would work out cheaper.
So the question is would i be risking too much if I moved my whole site to a unmanaged dedicated sever without having any expreice other than very basic stuff like intalling afp/ddos deflate?
Right now it seems like their isn't anything to it except upgrading the OS or mysql and things like that in the future...
Can anyone recommend an unmanaged server with cpanel budget is about $80 pm about 1tb bandwidth. Currently with volumedrive but the network is really slow at the minute.
i have VPS CentOs5 running 2.6.9-023stab044.11-entnosplit with Plesk 8.3 Panel ..
last nigth when i was talking with the support center and i past my root passwd ..
after 10-15 mnts some attacker has change my page (index.html)
the server is new .. i just take VPS server before 3 days .. so there is no way to upload or run any php script ( worm ) in my server kz i didn't install anything there else (.html) pages ..
so i stop my VPS tell today and now i change my password and run the command to find any php files in my Vhosts folder wich content my sites directory...
i didn't find anything there and everything looking as a Defualt..
now the question is there anyway for the attacker to hack NixCore V1.5.0 Support Center ...?
and if there any way to check my server if there any uploading new files? whatever is .php ; .pl ; .rar ; .gif ; etc ...
and what command to show what the user group have the root permission?
firewall for my new server. I will be running cpanel 11 on it... so i was looking into configserver.com . Are they good? Is there any other firewall software's you can recommend besides configserver?
I rented out a server from leaseweb for 6 months (prepaying) before doing any real researching.. the price was great but the support apparently sucks. Now that I found this out, and my server hasn't been setup yet, I want a full refund. I've contacted them via email, but yet to recieve a response; who should I contact or what should I do.
This weird issue has poped up only this weekend , when csf blocks all ips and even ssh, email and all services are not accesible, even though server is working, but firewall puts a block on everyone, and appears offline to others, any ideas why csf and iptables are not responding and acting in this behavior, i asked jonesolutions.com last time it happened i got no reason/response which could be the culprit.
Could it be the kernel update/upgrade that was done, to optimize load which broke csf and its working?
as this is 2nd incident over last 2 days , and i had thought my management had fixed it. Upset here over the unwanted for no reason downtimes!
Here is the output for this command after i restart csf again, and thats like average too i get over the entire day.
to put together a file server. This server will only accept SFTP connections and send/receive data. Also, planning to use RAID 10 with a hardware controller. Just looking to get a feel for the CPU and RAM. While the server load will not be much, scalability is a factor when considering hardware.
I am looking for a dedicated server for my flash games site. I am currently using 1and1.com for a Titan 16gb ram, 6gb monthly transfer(bandwidth) but not enough. I end up paid almost $2k last month. So I am need is at least 15-20gb bandwidth monthly transfer and about 8gb ram....
We want to build a file server in our office - either Windows or Linux (doesn't make a difference to us).
We have a lot of satellite offices, and want to have certain computers have access to specific files/folders on the fileserver.
The catch is this... we would like some of our satellite computers to "sync" with the files/folders on the fileserver.
For example, a developer who is constantly working with a particular client, will always want his/her files to sync up with what is on the server.
The developer will want to work with a local copy of the files, and once finished, will upload them to the file server.
A few days go by, and there is a possibility the fileserver has additional information for that client. The developer would then want to download the changed files from the fileserver.
The benefit of working with local files, is that it is quicker to make changes. We can always leave the desktop on overnight to sync between the fileserver and the desktop.
Any suggestions what to look into here?
All of our desktops are on Windows, so we would need a windows application that has this functionality.
Rsync seems to be the closest thing I've found so far.
I have my web server hacked several times and I am beating my head against the wall trying to find the problem(s).
Way back when my sites have been defaced and CHMODing my *.html files to 744 seemed to have done the trick
Now someone has put a phishing site somehow, which by the way I'm not able to remove still, I can't help but to think that I may have more CHMODing to do, I have recursevly set my site to 755, shoud this do the trick? I know I need to chmod .htaccess and alike files to 644, but what about...imagesCGI/PHP?cssetc?
What other steps can I take to secure this thing?
it's a shared host, limited access, but I do have SHELL.
In fact i am a customer of PC-CORE.net's directly customer.They send me a email to let me translate my website a few days ago.But i was in a travel then.I recieved it yesterday night. But it is too late that i cannot enter my website then.It is likely the sever ha been shutdown.My ip was 64.191.125.149.The guy rent me the space said he is powerless with it.
I did not get any backups of my site.They are gone when i format my hard drive last time.But the website's date is very important with me.
Anyone related with it?What i can do to save my site? What is going on with PC-CORE.net?
- unmanaged - Debian Etch - 100gb transfer - 128 to 256 ram - around 5 gigs disk space - 1 IP - CPU... within reason but nothing special required
I don't need any proprietary control panels or any of that stuff. I'm perfectly fine and more comfortable on the command line anyways. Just give me the base net-install of etch and SSH listening and I'd be happy from there.
Basically all I want it for is as a backup MX with postfix/clamav/amavisd-new/spamd and secondary bind. Maaaaaybe apache from time to time for a little bit of personal stuff but nothing special. Shooting for cheap here because I don't really 'need' it, it would just be nice to have so I could supplement my other server off site rather than running failover how I currently do it.
would like to move to a VPS plan, many has already mentioned that managing VPS is not easy in which it is kinda scary for me! but may I ask what are the main things that I need to know to manage a VPS host.
from my experience on a shared host with cpanel I know how to manage domains, subdomains, backups, traffic-analyze, mysql-databases, myphpadmin, ... etc.
Now if I get a VPS host with cpanel, do I need any extra experience to mange it? if so, what are they ...
I have a java-based instant-messaging server application, which I need to host on a VPS.
This server application comes with its own Java Virtual Machine.
I do not need any other software than that, no web server, no database, no PHP, no multiple domains or whatever, because that stuff is hosted on another server So I assume, I will just need an unmanaged VPS. Am I right or is there more to it?
Do I have to install and manage firewall and security on unmanaged VPS, or is that done by the provider?
What about monitoring? Any other issues I need to take into consideration?
I have read about all of the things you have to do with an unmanaged server, and how beginners shouldn't even try. I am pretty smart though I have a lot of experience with cpanel, and I am not worried about getting my feet wet.
This is the system I want:
Celeron 1.7 GHz 1 GB RAM 80 GB HD 1500 GB Bandwidth cPanel / WHm Full root access
How much time would it take to keep the thing running? How do you monitor the server? How do you know when software updates, and patches are available? Can all of the software needed be found for free? What kind of problems would I encounter, and would this be way over my head?
As I've been reading these threads there seem to be plenty of unmanaged Linux VPS providers (e.g. Slicehost/Linode), but I'm not sure I've seen even a single mention of unmanaged Windows VPS providers. VPSLand, WiredTree, KickAssVPS all are managed. I'd like to know everyone's recommendations on good unmanaged Windows VPS?
