Xen Update, On Bringing Guest Networks Back Up
After a yum update on a centos 5.2 box (including an update to the latest version of xen) my guests don't have a network connection anymore (nor windows, nor linux VMs).
The windows VM does see an unknown PCI device (great, no drivers and no internet), of which I guess is the network card seeing there are no other network cards listed in the VM.

32 Bit Xen Guest On X86_64 EL5 Node
Let's make this straight, I have this vps,which is pending cancellation in a few days. Hardware Node = EL 5 x86_64, Vz = Xen I asked my provider for 32 bit centos, I even rebuilt it, but my "uname --all" still Quote: Linux xxx.xxx.com 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5xen #1 SMP Thu May 7 11:07:18 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux so I opened a ticket asking about the vps arch. The provider have told me that to run a vps 32 bit guest, what you have to do is (?) +++++++++++++++++++++++++ yum clean all echo i686-redhat-linux > /etc/rpm/platform +++++++++++++++++++++++++ so yum will exclude any x86_64 packages. The provider has told me also that my "uname" display x86_64 because the hardware node is 64 bit. Is this true ? I'm no linux or vps guru, but that's doesnt feel right at all. This has cause me some issues especially with kernel-headers and some program failed to compile. So, is it possible to run a 32 bit OS as xen guest inside 64 bit node?

How Do I Setup A Ubuntu DomU Guest On A CentOS / Fedora Core XEN Server
how to install Ubuntu (either 7.10 or 8.04) as a XEN domU guest on a CentOS 5 / Fedora Core 8 XEN dom0 server? I have tried installing Ubuntu as a fully virtualized guest, but the Ubuntu CD doesn't even bootup. I get the Linux bootloader, and that's it,it doesn't continue to boot. Odd. When trying to install a Paravirtualized guest, I had to use the debootstrap method, but can't get it to boot up. Quote: xm create anya_zanet Using config file "/etc/xen/anya_zanet". Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found ') This is the xen configuration: Code: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img" builder='linux' memory = 256 name = "anya_zanet" vcpus = 1 vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ] disk = [ 'phy:/dev/System/anya_zanet,hda1,w' , 'phy:/dev/System/anya_zanet,hda2,w' ] root = "/dev/hda1 ro" on_poweroff = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' how to get Ubuntu working on a CentOS / Fedora Core XEN server?

KVM Hypervisor And Guest OS Setup
I have been using Linux for the past 3 or so years, either running it for workstations or servers, and now I want to set up a server for Virtualization. I have been doing a fair bit of research about the different ways of doing this, and I have decided to go with KVM. I usually use CentOS, but will have to use Debian to use KVM. I just have a few questions about the best way of setting it up. We have a pretty powerful server* which we are planning on collocating to a data centre and running web servers from the VMs. Virtualization seems like the best way to allow for simpler administration, and also allow us get the most out of our server's resources. *Intel Xeon X3230 Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 4x 15k 147gb SAS (RAID 6) What is the best way to set this up then? I was thinking we could install Debian as the Host/Hypervisor over the whole drive, and give it a 16GB swap partition. Then I guess when the VMs are installed they live on the Debian drive as a file, or do they need their own partitions? Are the guest OS's capable of using the Host's swap space? Its bad enough losing 16GB as a swap partition to the host OS, but please don't tell me I need to supply the VMs with their own swap partition aswell - im curious as to if the server will ever need to use swap space as it has alot of ram, let alone require extra swap for each VM too? KVM is still very new, but does anyone know any good books/resources out there? The virtualization books I have seen don't seem to cover KVM, just Xen and others.

VMWare - WinXP As Guest On CENTOS - Networking
OKay here is the set up: I have a CENTOS 64bit running, with 1 guest OS (WinXP) in a VMWare Server. I have tried the following: I have 6 public IP's attached to my 1 Ethernet card in the CENTOS host. Try 1: The Guest OS is set to use "Bridged" Networking. This allows full use of the internet, in both directions. Not exactly optimal, but it does work. I can reach the Guest via RD, which is a requirement for this client. The guest OS is mainly assigned one of the 6 public IP's (x.x.x.118). The problem with this setup is the Guest OS can not reach the host. For example the host has a mail server on it, and when the Guest tries to reach the host, it times out. Try 2: The Guest OS is set up to use "NAT" and gets 192.168.100.128 as its IP via DHCP inside of VMWare. The nat config file for VMWare is set to open port 3389 (RD port). Guest OS can reach the host with out any problem, and can reach the internet with out any problem, however I can not RD in to the Guest OS. I prefer setup number 2 for all the obvious reasons, but I just can not get my IPTables rules to work. This is what I thought should work, but does not: iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d x.x.x.118 -j DNAT --to-destination=192.168.100.128 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.128 -j SNAT --to-source=x.x.x.118 I realize that would have done all traffic, and defeated the benefits of NAT,but since forwarding only 3389 was not working I tried forwarding everything. Any suggestions?

MS Virtual PC - How To Access My Localhost (Apache) Subdomains On Guest OS?
I've just downloaded Microsoft Virtual PC and the Internet Explorer 6 Application Compatibility VPC Image containing an XP installation for testing sites with IE6 [url]. Everything works fine, I chose VPC Shared Networking (NAT) and I can access the internet from the VPC as well as my Apache development server which runs on the host OS (Win XP) by going to the host's IP address which is [url] in my case. And here I have 2 problems: 1. I want to access [url]on VPC just by typing [url]. I added the following line to the hosts file: 192.168.52.141 localhost But this doesn't work. Interestingly, any name other than localhost works fine, for example: 192.168.52.141 localhost.localhost or 192.168.52.141 local This is not a major problem but I'd prefer localhost. Any ideas how to do that? 2. And the more important issue: on my host OS I have some development sites which I have set up to be accessed by subdomains, for example [url], in httpd.conf: Code: <VirtualHost 127.0.0.3> ServerName perfekt.localhost DocumentRoot C:wwwperfekt DirectoryIndex index.php index.html </VirtualHost> and in hosts file: Code: 127.0.0.3 perfekt perfekt.localhost And now I want to access this site from my VPC too by using subdomains like this! How can I do that? The address 127.0.0.3 seems to be local to the OS and VPC can't see it. I have tried setting other IP addesses in httpd.conf but nothing outside the 127.x.x.x range works on either OS. I suppose I need to make each of my sites to be seen under a different IP from the outside network so that VPC (which is "outside" the host OS) can access them - then I just set up the appropriate subdomain names in VPC hosts file -

How Do I Host Windows 2008 Server As A Guest OS On My Linux Dedi
How do I run a virtual instance of Windows server 2008 on my Linux dedi? Do I need to partition the server and create a VPS for this or can I run it on something like VMware? (Please look at my other thread here [url]t=857377 to learn more about my server, its resources and current config.) Why would I want to do this? Because my primary desktop OS is still Vista Ultimate 64 and I've invested a lot in Windows-based software and hardware--too much to make a total switch to Linux. But, I don't want to invest more than I have to in order to run a Windows server that allows my business partner to access documents remotely or for us to share various files securely and privately and still serve my mostly Windows-based clients and colleagues. I'm one of, well, two people I know who even use Linux (at least at the OS level and know it). Since my research shows I **can** do this on Centos 5, the responses that would be most useful to me would be those that focus on how I can do this successfully (even if it seems complicate; I can figure it out with help and/or direction) and what to consider or avoid when creating this virtual guest OS on my Linux dedi.

Virpus Networks
My server has recently been attacked by members of the following website, using DDoS tools stolen form other script kiddies and rebranded (oh the irony). Having enough, I decided to go on a mission to get these brats shut down: troyrulz007.com The site is also filled with links to illegal downloads, porn, etc. The first thing I did was report them to their webhost. I figured this was the best first step. I opened a ticket and reported what was on the site, and pointed out which parts of their AUP the site was violating. After a few days, I provided them contact information for someone at Rockstar Games, as this site was providing downloads for one of their most recently released titles. I also went ahead and contacted some of the publishers of the software being provided illegaly. 14 days later, the ticket is silently closed with no action taken. Site is still up and still providing illegal downloads of software that people spent a lot of time and money developing. I know they are a VERY small fish in a large pond, but I had had enough of having my servers crippled (at least know I've learned how to defend against it) and decided I would strike back legally and without stooping to the script-kiddies level. At this point, I'm convinced Virpus Networks (virpus.com) doesn't give a flying monkey turd about anything other than collecting their pathetic $10/mo. Was I wrong in assuming they would do anything? Should I have just ignored it and moved on? If not...how do I find out who provides network service to Virpus. I'm sure THEY don't allow this sort of thing. Maybe I was just being a cry-baby and should've left it alone. I don't know. But hey...I guess if you want to host a site that breaks pretty much every rule in the book, you know where to go. Looking at their pricing however...yeah I'll not go there on that one. Anyways...this is a part rant, part notification, part "am I being a whiny jerk" post. Sorry if it breaks any rules. Thanks for listening. I'd give you that portion of your life back if I could but I've decided to keep it for myself.

OC3 Networks
Any active/current comments on OC3 Network? Mainly looking at their un-managed server but I would like to know some responses concerning their support. What level of support do they provide? Is it efficient and time effective? Will they charge me for the little-ist of a request (Let's say I get an internal server error in WHM caused by a software update -- will they roll me to a backup for free or will I be charged?). So, just looking for opinions on their support quality and availability, and their server uptime and happiness of current and past clientèle.

Steadfast Networks Support
Haven't posted on WHM in some time but wanted to drop a line in dedicated regarding SFN support. I recently migrated a dedicated srv to InterWorx running Lite Speed (as apache) on CentOS 5. (srv was running PSA 9 on CentOS) Being the NEWB that I am.....I needed a little "hand holding" with this setup (especially the Lite Speed config). SFN support went way out of their way to assist. What is enjoyable about their support is the tech's have never responding to many of my "NEWB" questions in a demeanoring way. They explain things in detail. Tickets are always answered promptly. I just wanted to give a "shout-out" to Dan, Brad, Sean, Ryan, Mike, and all the other SFN support techs >> AWESOME SUPPORT GUYS

Limestone Networks Review
Well it's been one month since I purchased my dedicated server from Limestone Networks, and i'd like to post my experiences with them, so here it goes. About a month ago I stumbled upon Limestone networks, read a few reviews, and thought i'd go for it. The the next thing I did was start a live chat, a friendly chap by the name of Felipe responds. I have a nice long chat with Felipe, what a delight it was! Not only did he answer all of my questions promptly, but he certainly knew what he was talking about. Unlike my previous experiences with other companies. After a nice long chat with Felipe, I was ready to get my server. So I went straight ahead and ordered. Specifications: Dual CPU Quad Core XEON 5504 (2.0ghz) 8GB DDR2 ECC registered RAM 2x500GB HDD in RAID1 (WD RE3, AWESOME HDD'S!) 4TB bandwith 100mbps up/down speeds IPKVM included All up cost me around $280 + ~$30 setup fee Within about 2 hours I receive an email stating that there were some minor problems during setup because of the RAID configuration, and they will fix it as soon as possible. I must admit, it got me slightly worried, but a few minutes later, I receive another email saying that it's all setup and done! Boy was I excited! I Instantly SSH'd into my server to check on things, all good. I install the XEN kernel and reboot to make sure it's working all fine, boots without any errors. So far so good. A few days later I realised I was running out of IP Addresses, so I open a support ticket to ask for more, the invoice is created, I pay it then respond saying that I have done so. 6 minutes later they respond saying that it is being set up, and another 3 minutes later they respond with the IP addresses, sweet. Later on I opened another support ticket asking a question referring to upgrades. Out of pure boredom I clicked the send receive button on my email, and sure enough, I already had a response! all within about 2 minutes after sending it. Limestone's service has been great, I love their support and prompt response to tickets! One minor problem is that their accounting department isn't available during all hours, no biggie though. Their technical support department is open 24/7. One great bonus with Limestone is that they keep you informed every step of the way, rather than leaving it to the last minute to say "sorry about the wait". When i'm ready for my next server, i'll definitely be going for Limestone.

Limestone Networks Review
I ordered my server on March 6th, and asked for the server to be provisioned the 10th. I wanted to test some things out, and so I wanted the server earlier. I called up LSN and got to Carl. He was great and totally understood everything and provisioned our server in a matter of 1 hour 59 minutes! Sadly, because I had told them we were going to need the server on the 10th, they thought they would have the RAM we needed. They compensated us by adding a better CPU(Q9400). Then the RAM came in, I think 5 days later because of a shipping mistake where it didn't get on the truck I think(Not LSN's fault). The server went down, and they installed the RAM. The server wouldn't boot, so we had a few problems there. In the end it was just an oversight of the max amount of RAM that the MoBo could support. The downtime was a bit excessive in my opinion, and LSN compensated me. I have had zero problems with them since that incident. Right now, I am purchasing a 2nd server with LSN. Support 9/10 Sales Staff 10/10 Accounting 10/10

Can The Software Of R-fx Networks Still Safely Be Used
I have been using R-fx software since somewhere in 2002 if I remember correctly. I have been a happy using of APF, SYSBK and BFD for a long time. I have also installed other software of them, but I choose to keep my server as clean as possible. So LES, LSM, NSIV, SPRI were never installed. I had temporarily installed PRM and SIM, but I choose to uninstall them for various reasons. I am wondering if you people still use APF and BFD. I will keep on using sysbk as it's a very simple program that can do no harm to my server, but I'm not sure about APF as primary firewall. I have never been impressed by the role of firewalls in server security. I think they are mostly excaggarated, especially hardware firewalls, and iptables can do anything that is required. How do you feel about using CSF on new servers rather then APF? Do you recommend any r-fx software for good server security and performance? Rf-x is about security, stability and speed (performance). I like that.

My Limestone Networks Review
After stumbling upon limestone networks amazing offers, I decided to take advantage of their cheapest special for it was more than what I needed. For 135 dollars a month, I got this special: [url] With an 100mbps uplink connection. With this dedicated server, I planned on running game servers, and so far it has far exceeded my expectations. Let's begin with the set up time: Before leaving my old host, I found out that the location was doing no good for me. Players were not able to query my game server in the game's server list, so I decided to switch hosts. After finding limestone networks, as listed above I went straight ahead and bought the server at 4:00 AM EST time. After two hours of waiting, my dedicated server was set up with HPET enabled like I asked. I was amazed at how limestone was able to set up the dedicated server so fast and at such an early time! The support: The support is absolutely hands down AMAZING. Every support ticket I have made was answered (not over exaggerating here) within 4 minutes. The control panel: The control panel limestone has to offer that comes free with your dedicated server is so simple to use. (I believe they call it rockware.) There is an option to manage each one of your purchased servers, an option to restart your server, add new ips, change your uplink speed from 10mbps - 1000mbps (depending on what you have), the ticketing system, and much more. Now the only problem I have came across which isn't all that huge, was that after redirecting all the traffic from my previous game servers to my new game servers hosted with lime stone, I had a problem installing the game files off Steam via hldsupdatetool.exe for Team Fortress 2. The install just froze. So I decided to contact limestone support. They decided to give it a shot, and it seemed that it froze for them too. However they did not give up, they kept trying and trying keeping me updated. (let me also remind most of you that team fortress 2 is a 3.2gb game so it takes atleast 20 mins+ to install all the necessary game files.) Finally after 2 hours, it worked. I was happy. The point here is that the support is probably their best feature aside from their prices and amazing specials. They just never give up and work to their potential in helping every customer. I would recommend limestone to anyone who is willing to try a new host. Although I have been with them for about a week, they have so far never ceased to amaze me with their support, and quality they have to offer. I will keep everyone here updated on what limestone has to offer me and how well or bad they have been doing at the end of the month when I have to pay my next invoice.

LimeStone Networks Review
Hey all. Its been a month and I thought I better post a short review of my experiences with LimeStone Networks. Before signing up for my server, I spoke to Logan who answered a few of my questions regarding the setup of the server and the running of some of the software I wanted to install on the server. I eventually ordered, with Logan's help, there Obsidien 1 plan which was a Athlon 64 X2 5000+ CPU, 1GB of RAM and 1500GB of Bandwidth for $99 a month. I had also chosen to have Virtuozzo installed, which was licensed and online very quickly. The total time I had to wait for the server was about 3 hours. In that time, I received an email from Mike, which told me he had given me a complimentary upgrade to the Intel Core2Duo E4500 CPU for better performance with my VPS software. This thrilled me to no end. After asking for help a few times, despite the fact they are an unmanaged host, Logan kindly helped me fix a few problems on the server. About halfway through the month, I began to realize that Virtuozzo was not exactly what I wanted and I asked them if it was possible to get it changed to a cPanel server. I can't remember who I spoke to about this, but the change was done very quickly and was re-deployed with cPanel ready and going well. Then, at the end of the month, I found that the RAM installed on the server was just not enough, I then upgraded the RAM with the help of Ryan. The RAM upgrade took about 30 minutes to go through, and I only suffered about 3 minutes of downtime. All in all, my first months experience with LimeStone Networks has been fantastic! Which is probably why you have seen me recommending them on a few threads. There service is amazing, which compliments there very reliable and kind Customer Service team. I could not ask for anything better.

Limestone Networks Review
well ordered a dedicated server from LSN about 4 days ago, and I still havent recieved the server so I thought I should make a review here for others to know. 4 days back I ordered their most expensive server and made a payment the same night, and I went through the verification process after about 24 hours. the same night that I uploaded the files needed to get my account verified I talked to ryan, and he said my account would be verified in max 2 hours but it ended up being 2 days! after taking 2 days to verify my account (yesterday) I talked to mike and he said my server will be ready in the next 2-5 hours, so i waited about 8 hours and I still didnt recieve any mail from them, so this time I talked to ryan and he said he is gona check and see why its taking so long, and after he checked he said my server should be ready in the next 4-5 hours, but now its been almost 10 hours since then and I havent recieved ANYTHING! I understand if they were late by a day due to the fact that its christmas, but its been 4 days and all I hear from them is that my server is gona be ready in the next 4-5 hours! generally their support crew is really friendly but they dont tell you the truth (atleast they havent told me the truth) and ticket responds take from 2 to 6 hours. I would have given them a good rating if they were on time because they are friendly, their servers are good.

Dark Water Networks
i recently got a dedi from Dark Water Networks and all i have had was problems with it. The first hour i was on it it decided to go offline after multiple access violations errors popped up. I send in a support ticket, they say its fine, but the box is still offline. I am running my own hosting company and its crucial that i have something working to be able to progress. I have had enough of their service and i ask for the box to be turned off and a refund on my money. They tell me they cannot issue me a refund. What a complete lie. Right on their main page of their site it clearly states: "Try our services for 30 days, and if you're not completely satisfied, we will refund you with no questions asked." So where is my refund? They refuse to give it to me.... and my customers? Angry. Any more responses to my ticket? None whatso ever for the past 48 hours. If this is how they run a business... neglecting their customers and blatently false advertising on their main page, then i truly do hope they no one else ever tries their services in the future because this is just ridiculous....

Limestone Networks Vs Gigenet
I am planning on moving to a dedicated server from my VPS. I found out about LSN and Gigenet and cant decide which one to go for. Major factors to set on these two are 100mbps connection, good up to date CPUs with massive 8GB ram on similar prices. Well, Gigenet is $65 more expensive with a very similar setup but I think their servers are managed, I am not sure if Limestone's are managed. I was wondering what I would be getting extra if I decide to go with Gigenet apart from the support or is Limestone just as fine? I already send an email to Limestone today asking a list of questions and will send one to Gigenet however I would appreciate if people who have been using these companies

Experience With Infinitie Networks
I bought a shared linux plan from Infinitie networks last month. Since then I've been trying to contact their support for a few clarifications, but never got any responses so far. They have a live chat on their site which is not working now. It was working before when I evaluated the service I've mailed to their support mail id quite a few times. every time i get an automated response saying my ticket was received. that's it no further response. I took the pain of creating an account in their online community forums and posted my grievances there. No one seems to be bothered. These guys dont have a support contact number on their site. I really dont know how to reach them now Any of you guys here had any similar experiences with Infinitie networks?

Back To Basics
I am so mixed-up now that its hard to even figure out what i need to know, so let me tell you a story..... It started about a week ago, when i first started on the server configuration module of my CIW course. I began to get confused concerning the topic of permissions and access levels in IIS 5. Because of this confusion i started to backtrack what i actually knew (or rather, what i thought i knew) about networks. I now find myself realizing that i am not even sure about the basic types of networks. Anyway, thank you for your patience so far, and without further a-do here comes the obligatory questions. I thought that a peer to peer network was any network without a dedicated server, so the hosts (computers) on the network communicated with each other directly. I also thought that once you added a server to the network, all the shares that were once stored on the individual computers are now moved to the server, and that the individual hosts no longer actually communicate with each other to access files, printers, etc. However, now I am starting to think that i am wrong about this, and that the hosts may indeed still keep some shares on themselves to be accessed by the other hosts on the network. It is this method of ACCESS that is confusing me. QUESTION 1 Do the hosts now have to ask the server to fetch the shares on the other hosts, or can each host still have direct access to any other host? QUESTION 2 A book i have states "a peer-to-peer network does not regulate user access from a central point". To me, this implies that using a server on the network somehow centralizes access, BUT ACCESS TO WHAT??. Does this mean access to the server that has just been installed, or that the server is responsible for giving permission for host "A" to connect to host "B" to access the shares stored on host "B QUESTION 3 The same book also states (regarding user-level-access and some kind of access list)...."this access list can be central to a particular server or to an entire network" WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN??? Does it mean that this list can be either stored on the SERVER (CENTRAL) or EACH HOST("entire network"). I hope one of you guys can figure out,at least, where i am getting confused because the more i read the more i seem to tie myself up

Setup Review Of LimeStone Networks
After hitting my head with few of the dedi providers, i came across Lime Stone Networks. I went to their site, selected the server I wanted with addons etc. I initiated live chat for sales query and instantly all was finalized. I paid the amount and after 4-5 hours the server was ready and details were in my email. This is the most speedy server setup i had seen. Their RockWare control panel is very flexible and easy to use. Most of the things which have/are not provided by other dedi providers are in their control panel for easy access. Basic stuff like remote reboots, dns management etc. is free and already included with your server. Their support is also very good, I opened a few tickets with them all were answered within 1-2 mins. Its been more than 10 days with them now and my all data is moved to the new server and everything is running fine and stable. The only thing is that their sales rep was unable to given a discount of 0.99 cents! My order totalled to $200.99 and I asked sales rep to reduce the 0.99 to make it rounded but he did'nt. I know they won't built a palace and neither will I but what the heck if he could ?! Just would have pleased me. Anyways overall the experience is great and support is good. There were also some abuses on the server by some of my clients and they were able to find them asap and informed me and gave ample time to resolve the issues. I suggest that if you're also looking for a dedi then be sure to visit their site. I will post more review on this after few months.

My Accurate Hub Networks Review
6 months ago I signed up for their services, moving away from 1&1 shared hosting. So I spoke with Andrew about getting a server for the things I do. We worked a deal, which is probably too good to be true. Im running on one of their Dell 1425s. I have servers here at the work (designing agency), so I know my way with servers etc etc. The performance of their network and support 10/10 I had no problems and although unmanaged, I was always able to get help and support. They look like a new emerging host, but I recommend to give them a try. I've just picked up another server with them ($15 for my first month is quite a steal imo)

Limestone Networks 6 Months Review
Just wanted to update everyone on my 6 months with Limestone Networks. It's been nothing but joy. Network 10/10 Network is rock solid, I run a couple of game servers, I have no lag even for people coming from Australia and having their ping at about 250-300. I also run a few websites (1 of them has about 3500-4000 unique visitors daily with roughly 20k page views), the site loads extremely fast. We've been down once (some network hiccup, which I didn't feel cause I was sleeping). Support 10/10 I've had to use support a few times and it's been always a pleasure. These guys went backwards to help me every time. One time I had my debit card (which I use for PayPal) compromised so I ordered a new one from my bank and also changed my bank account. I could not pay them on time (I had to wait for 5 days for my new card to arrive), LSN did not suspend my account, they went backwards to help me and prolonged my due date 5 days forward, which they didn't have to do but still went to understand my situation. Hardware 10/10 I have 2 servers with them both Q9300. Those monsters are simple awesome. I never had even a single glitch with any of them. My servers are running for 4.5 months now without a single reboot (I had to reboot them a couple of times at the beginning due to software installation). Satisfaction 11/10 There is nothing else to add as you probably get my feelings about LSN already. These guys run a very tight ship. Sometimes I get on their live chat when I needed support and Ryan and Mike were always helpful to me, they sped things up in the support department. Great company, knowledgeable people, friendly and professional support, great network. What else do you need from a provider.

Virpus Networks - 4.5 Month Review
Since all the talk lately about Virpus Networks here on the boards lately has been negative, I figured I would put a positive light on Virpus. Price = 10/10 The price was one of the main things that drew me into Virpus. For $12.99 a month, I am getting 12 GB Disk Space, 300 GB of Bandwidth, 192MB Guaranteed RAM, 512 MB Burst RAM, and DirectAdmin. I would consider that a steal. Uptime = 9.5/10 My VPS has rarely been down. If it has been, it is because of either: a) the recent 1.5 hour downtime for the migration or b) something I did to screw up my own VPS. Support = 9/10 Whenever I have a question for the Virpus staff, I usually get a response within the hour. However, for the past few weeks, it has taken a bit longer than that, sometimes up to two days. However, I believe that is because of the recent migration. Overall = 9.8/10 I am pretty happy with the services from Virpus Networks. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for affordable, reliable VPS hosting.

Pair Networks: 2+ Years Review
I’ve found pair Networks via this forum and have been its customer for more than 2 years now, which gave me quite a good insight in this company. So here some thoughts about pair Networks. Some background Pair operates its own Data Center with over 1.500 servers, hosting more than 190.000 sites. If you are concerned about the server saturation, these numbers are speaking for themselves pretty much. Among the customers are such high-profile sites as Barack Obama, The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code), Tom's Hardware etc. Quite impressive and it actually says a lot about the host’s structural reliability. Stability It’s a truly business class host with an amazing stability. The server load is always nice below 1. During more than 2 years the site I’m hosting there was down for two times: once due to the massive ddos, and the second time due to the planned server maintenance. Technical support I’ve got phone and e-mail support on my plan (webmaster). The standard support response time is reasonably soon. The so called ‘urgent’ support reacts literally immediately. The nice thing with Pair is that you actually don’t need any support, because all services are up and running at all time. Control Panel Pair is using a custom CP. It’s transparent and as useful as a CP could be. I can’t remember a situation when I was missing some feature in this panel. Price Pair is not cheap, but it’s not overpriced either. From my point of view, they were able to find a really well balanced price for the level of services they’re offering. If you’re a hobbyist using your site for fun (and therefore the stability and uptime is not really an issue), you can find tons of cheaper hosts. If you’re hosting any critical site, where the stability, speed and uptime do matter, you’d better pay a few bucks more: servers are not oversaturated and overloaded, no kids experimenting with 'custom' scripts, best hardware, best manpower etc. I’d like not to be involved in over- and underselling discussion, Pair has earned its stripes based on this business model. Speed Download speed (from Belgium) is as good as it gets from any US-based industrial-grade site through our broadband line: approximately 400 KB/s. Downloads from Apple, Adobe etc. sites have exactly the same speed. These all were PRO’S, where are the CON’S? In more than 2 years I haven’t noticed any serious, structural shortcoming. And I don’t like to make it up just for the sake of false objectivity. Pair Networks is by far the best host I’ve ever had. Site for verifying purposes: [url]

[Review] Sago Networks (2 Months)
I'll try to make a long story short. I was in the market recently for a low-cost dedicated server. My requirements were fairly low in terms of server specifications and bandwidth. I just wanted a reliable server on an extremely stable network. (The latter requirement is usually the hard part.) I had browsed Sago's website about a year ago and recalled that they had reasonable prices and what seemed to be tolerable peering. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Sago had a rather nice list of peers, and Cogent was not one of them! (Queue the fireworks and popping corks.) After a couple of conversations with Shawn from Sago, I was sold. He went above and beyond to find a solution for my needs. The order went through quickly and I had a nice, shiny.......... I get distracted by shiny things... new FreeBSD server ready to go. I had a couple of issues of my own making early on, and Sago's support helped me promptly and effectively. Unfortunately, I'm unable to convey long-term reassurance for anyone considering Sago, since I have only been a Sago customer for about 2 months, but so far I'm very impressed with their service, and I look forward to posting another positive review later down the road.

Limestone Networks - Amazing Experience
I've been using these guys for a little over a month. After a couple weeks, i got a 2nd server from them. Their web account panel is very well done, their special offer going on right now is great, they deliver on exactly what they say. Their customer service is also amazing. I'm sorry if this isn't the correct format for a review, its my first time. I just felt the need to tell others about this, easily my favorite dedicated server provider i've dealt with.

Limestone Networks - Account Termination
I think it's only fair I name and shame this pile of rubbish called LimeStone networks... The other day I got into a fight with my business partner, he got pissed and placed a cancelation notice via ticket. I was updating the website for 2009 etc... when it went down. after going into RW, finding the ticket and calling them up i was told their Abuse Manager Ryan A would call me. so me being nice I waited and waited and waited. I got annoyed at waiting and decided I would give live chat a try, so in I go type in my details click ok and I got put through to Pmoore, anyways I get put through to this Ryan A only to be kicked within a few minutes later adter him saying my angry ex-business partner has to call them and say everythings ok. Anyways after talking to a client of mine who is in the legal profesion I was told I have a right to a backup and he has a right to his files. So I go back into live chat only to find my account has been terminated and so on... After talking with him again we both decided to pop on and see if any of us could get through Pmoore and actualy talk to a manager. after saying I was sorry for having to use live chat (the only way I could get in contact anyone there) I was kicked and my client was kicked and his IP banned. I now have 3 voicemails informing me to expect legal letters from them very soon etc... I'm now in bits because I know them three clients will get their legal reps onto me, I'm also in bits because tons of my hard work and sweat and over 2 years work had gone into things on that server and now its all gone. I'm speechless and am expecting a break down sometime soon... What do I do and why are LSN so rude / stupid and stuck-up? Like I've had some clients since i started and I'm good friends with them. I can't run away so i'm gone

Impression Networks - Bad Experience
let me first clarify that they have been a VERY good host for me for the past 18 months... if you are ready to discount one VERY bad month. The last month saw 4 outages on my server... HUGE ones.. each time the server was down for at least a day... the last one for 3 days.. after which i contacted them and asked why was the site down (i was outstation and did not know the status till i came back...) They replied, there was an accident at the DC and If i had a backup they would happily restore it. This was thorough unprofessionalism... one of your DC had such accident that you could not even recover data and you dont bother to tell the customer till he himself asks? my bad luck was that i had already paid them in advance for the following month... BEFORE DUE DATE OF JULY 7th... the server was offline since June 26th.. i asked for a refund for JULY since i was not using their services anymore and more than that i was really annoyed at the way they handled the issue. Well.. they are yet to reply to the ticket where i asked for refund.. yea yea its been 20 days almost.. And what do i find now? the ticket was closed yesterday :-| Have i lost my money? Just wanted to warn others about them...

Bad Experiment With Limestone Networks
I've rented a server from Limestone Networks, and got bad experiment from them. The server is Intel Core2Quad Q9300, 8GB RAM, installed with FreeBSD amd64 version. Two tickets are in files.gslin.org/Misc/tickets-3534.html and files.gslin.org/Misc/tickets-4227.html, they's are saved directly from browser except the password part. In the beginning, the server often became inaccessible. Because I was very busy at that moment, I just used their control panel to reset it when I cannot access it. In 8/23 afternoon, I found not only the server was inaccessible, but the panel was also out of control: I saw the server power is "off" and I cannot turn on it. So I opened a ticket to ask for help. They first asked me what do I do before the server offline. I responsed I didn't do anything, and I also mentioned that the server frequently becomes inaccessibe. They fixed the panel after 1 hour and ask me root password, to see why the server becomes inaccessible frequently. It's 8/24 morning. They responsed in 8/25 morning (08/25/2008 04:51 AM CDT), "apologize for the delay", just reboot the server. And I cannot access it again, so I report in the same day 10:36 AM. This time they response in 08/27 and "apologize" again. Because the server has two NIC, they unplug the cable and plug into another port. The situation seems better (accessible now), but it becomes packet lost problem. I detect huge packet lost from the server to its default gateway, Limestone Networks's DNS, {google,yahoo}.com, anywhere. After that, I cannot be sure what they do, it's stable in that two days. And Bryan P. ask me in 8/29 03:45PM about the status, I replied the server is okay in these two days, so he closed the ticket. Then, I got packet lost again, in 9/3, so I open another ticket to ask them solving it. I don't want to describe again, you may see the ticket yourself. I am very upset about their hardware quality, response speed, profession, and the attitude. I won't suggest my friends to use their dedicated hosting.
