I am looking at powervps and solarvps.
Also what set up do you like?
EG: virtuozzo, plesk or what do you like to give your clients and use for admin, and why.

to setup 1.domain.com to another host
I have domain (domain.com) which is on dedicate server with root access.
also have 2-nd-domain.com which is on hostgator host(where can i add domains via addon domains)
now i need to setup 1.domain.com subdomain on hostgator.
how can i do it ?
pls correct me, if i'm wrong
1. via Directadmin Subdomain Management tool (on domain.com) add "1" subdomain
2. check "DNS Management" section -> 1.domain.com is on main domain.com IP
Unfortunately there isn't any option to edit this record. i can only delete it and add manually. (i know, that i can do it via SSH - > edit config file, but i don't have enought experience to edit files via SSH. just know, few commands, how to archive, reboot, move, etc ...)
delete this record and add manually
DNS Management -> Add Domain Records ->
1.domain.com - A record =IP of hostgatore host
btw, did i need to add NS records?
3. go to 2-nd-domain.com and try to add 1.domain.com via addon domains.
hmm
it seems, that i'm doing something wrong, as i got

how to setup a private proxy (for personal use) using web host?
What script or software to install on the web host?
I heard that some web hosting company, especially for shared hosting plans, doesn't allowed that to be installed...
Is that true?
If so, anyone know which web hosting allow it? anyone have experience doing so?
For proxy, my monthly usage will be well below 1GB.
I plan to buy a shared hosting plan to do some blog, websites & proxy.
I have a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install (desktop). I installed Apache, php and mysql from APT and updated everything.I tried to setup a virtual host using these directions: URL...I followed them to the letter:
o I created a folder /var/www/mydomain.local/public_html
o I copied the 000-default.conf in sites available and modified it
o I added mydomain.local to my hosts file (with IP of 127.0.0.1
o I used a2ensite to enable the host
o I used service apache2 reload
When I went to mydomain.local in firefox, it took me to the default host main page.I tried a restart of the service and even a reboot of the computer. No change.On a theory, I used a2dissite to remote 000-default from the enabled site list and reloaded the service. I got the home page for mydomain.local after that.
I created a named host called localhost and reloaded the apache. When I went to http://localhost it took me to the mydomain.local homepage. Rebooted the computer. Now, localhost gives me the apache default home page and mydomain.local does not work at all (I get a server not found).
I get the feeling that there is an apache configuration item I am missing but I cannot find it.
I have recently left dreamhost in search of a more reliable and speedy host. The only thing I will be missing from dreamhost is their customer support which is very good. In fact I didn't think it could be topped by anyone...but I was proven wrong (at least so far).
So what host did I choose? Downtown host obviously (based on title : P). This is not a FULL host review, just initial setup and support which normally would be a huge ordeal for me without help.
Anyway, I bought my hosting a few days ago and requested a site transfer in their support ticket system. I was greeted within 10 minutes by the support team walking me through the steps I needed to take in order to get it going. Once I gave them the proper information, the transfer was done in under an hour for four-five sites. I then tried setting up the sites by connecting them to the new databases that they transferred my data into. Didn't work like I thought it would so I continued to mess around with it until I basically screwed up my initial database...oops. Another ticket to support and within 10 min I get a reply that they will transfer the sites and repopulate the database again for me. Very nicely I might add. No sarcastic emails because the dumb noob messed up his database or anything : ]
The new transfer was complete and I set up everything without a hitch (since I figured out what I did wrong).
All this was done through a series of around 20-30 support emails. Every one was answered often within minutes. None over 10 minutes. All were pleasant answers and none were snotty in the least. Thank you Jorge, Sabastian and Diego for helping me with the problems. Their support indeed beat the crap out of dreamhost's. I've rarely gotten a response that quickly.
My package is nothing to scoff at either. 5GB of space and 100GB of bandwidth for around 65+ a year. That's right a year. The sites have run perfectly so far and the speeds have been VERY fast compared to dreamhost's.
I'd say I am incredibly happy with my initial setup with downtownhost. I will post a follow up review in a few months addressing my experiences with reliability and such. I expect it to be another good review, as I haven't been able to find a negative one for downtownhost on WHT.
Does anyone know if it's possible to setup a proxy server on a shared web host w/ cpanel? I just want to be able to browse using FoxyProxy from the IP of that shared web host.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to setup a public VPN network where remote clients can access the VPN server and connect to the internet through the VPN server.
I have Users assigned to different groups, and need each group to obtain a Unique Public IP address.
For example:
User1Group1 > connect to RRAS > access the internet with Public IP x
User2Group1 > connect to RRAS at the same time > access internet IP x
User3Group1 > connect to RRAS at the same time > access internet IP x
User1Group2 > connect to RRAS at the same time > access internet IP y
User2Group2 > connect to RRAS at the same time > access internet IP y
User3Group2 > connect to RRAS at the same time > access internet IP y
The trouble I'm having is only the first login in a group able to gain the Public IP address while the other ones default to the RRAS IP address.
I've setup a remote access policy to each group, then assigned these groups specific internal IP for each one. Then in NAT/LAN reserved a public IP for each private IP.
But when multiple users login, the server allows them access and provide them with internal IPs that are not specified in the access policy.
(I actually find that like a bug, instead it should deny access if the IP is in use).
I only have One NIC and hence the DHCP server and DHCP relay did not work.
how to have multiple users in certain group assigned the same public IP when they access the internet?
I will be setting up a site which uses ASP.NET 1.1. I know versions 3.0/3.5 are available, but they are not yet V2.0 compliant. Anyway thst is not the issue - just context.
Would like your advice as to whether it would be better to host this site with a company who looks as though they are specialising in ASP; such as DiscountASP, or Softsyhosting, or go with a general Windows hoster such as Steadfast, Fluidhosting, or 3Essentials?
I know nothing about ASP, so I don't know whether it is not at all neccessary to have a host specifically knowledgable about it, as I am unlikely to ever have problems with it, OR; I will most certainly have to address ASP issues sometime, so it would be essential to have support who really knows ASP.
I am trying to setup a subdomain and/or virtual host to redirect to a specific port and path. I have setup my server with DDYNS through my domain name registar. Through the ddyns client I have set it to assign a subdomain of "outside.name.com" so that my server will have a easy name to get to instead of a dynamic ip address.
I have also setup on my registrars host records another subdomain of "inside.name.com" with a static IP address for internet network accessing to my server.My problem is that I have a service/program on my server that I need access to both internally and externally and this service can only be access through a port of 32400 and HTTP address of /web. (e.g. outside.name.com:32400/web or inside.name.com:32400/web)...
Is there a way that I can create a VirtualHost or Subdomain of "service.*.name.com" that redirects them to ":32400/web" of the hostname they're on? (e.g. service.outside.name.com automatically forwards or proxies--to keep it pretty--to service.outside.name.com:32400/web)

Im trying to setup FTP on Windows 2003 Standard. Multiple people will need access, the problem Im having is how do I make it to where certain ftp accounts only have access to certain folders and certain ftp accounts have access to the whole root directory of that folder?
For instance under websitefolder you have a folder called bobsfolder. I want bob to login and just be "jailed" to bobsfolder, but when websitefolderadmin logs in they have access to the root of websitefolder and all its subfolders.
How do I setup a VPS on my Server?
It is Windows Server 2003.
I want to be able to do some testing on a Windows Server. Instead of finding a domain and finding web space I figured I could just use one of my own PCs as a web server.
However, I've never done that before and have no idea what I would need.
Does anyone have a tutorial of what needs to be installed (OS, software, etc) in order to setup a Windows web server? Doesn't have to have any features other than supporting ASP. And I'd need to be able to access it from the internet via my ISP and a port.
I am a good systems administrator but I have never setup a windows web server. Are there any tutorials out on the web that would show me how to do it. Is it true when a dedicated server is purchased the only thing I have to do is transfer the htm or asp files?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just purchased a Windows Server 2008 VPS plan with a hosting provider. With that I have needed to open up several ports - 21 (FTP), 25 & 110 (Mail) on Windows Firewall.
My first question is about security on those ports. So far I've just opened them in Windows Firewall and that's it. Is there anything in particular I should consider to keep those ports secure?
I've also had to install a mail server. So far I've installed the standard version of MailEnable and have it running fine. The problem I see is that the standard version has no spam filtering and no virus checking.
So I did some more looking into all this and found SmarterMail, the free version. The thing that gives this potential comes straight off their site... "SmarterTools understand what it is like to be part of a growing company. Budgets are tight, and often money is not available for software expenses.". This is exatly where I'm at, a small business with no software budget, at least not for now.
After looking into it, it appears as though we would have to pay for spam/virus protection when using MailEnable, because this is for commercial use (Maybe there's some free spam/vrus software for MailEnasble I'm not aware of), but we would have that included with SmarterMail. As an added note, this VPS facility is for a single domain and I realise that SmarterMail only allows for 10 accounts, but we can live with that for now.
Does anyone have real world experince using MailEnable vs. SmarterMail in this kind of scenraio? If so, from experience, what do you think is the best option?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had great difficulty in setting up OpenVPN, so I thought, when I finally do get it to work, I will write a HOWTO, so other can hopefully benefit…
This guide was done using a FC4 VPS, running on Xen, it will work on OpenVZ, all you need to do is ask your VPS provider to install “tun support”.
1.First of all get a few additional repos, If you already have your repos setup, skip this step
If you have Fedora 3, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have Fedora 4, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have Fedora 5, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have CentOS, follow the “additional third party CentOS repos”
[url]
Then issue these commands, each line is a new command, anything beginning with "#" are comments so dont try to execute those.
Code:
yum update
yum install openssl openssl-devel
# openssl and openssl-devel may be installed already… so don’t worry
2. Right, now you want to install OpenVPN, here are the commands,
Code:
yum install openvpn -y
#Now check that it works
service openvpn start
service openvpn stop
3. A few things to setup before you can make certificates, issue these commands,
Code:
find / -name "easy-rsa"
#you should get an output like this…
/usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.0.7/easy-rsa
#Now, make a copy of the easy-rsa directory, to /etc/openvpn/ ( make sure you #have put the right version number in i.e. mine was -2.0.7, change if needed)
cp -R /usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.0.7/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn/
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
chmod 777 *
mkdir /etc/openvpn/keys
4. You need to edit the vars file, located in /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
You can use any editor you like, I used vi.
Change the line
Code:
export KEY_DIR=$D/keys
to
Code:
export KEY_DIR=/etc/openvpn/keys
Also at the bottom of this file you will see something similar to this,
Code:
export KEY_COUNTRY=US
export KEY_PROVINCE=CA
export KEY_CITY=SOMEWHERE
export KEY_ORG="My Org"
export KEY_EMAIL=me@mydomain.com
Change this to your own values.
5. Now its time to make the certificates, enter these commands
Code:
. ./vars
Code:
./clean-all
Code:
./build-ca
# just hit enter to the defaults apart from Common Name, this must be unique
# call it something like mydomain-ca
Code:
./build-key-server server
Code:
./build-key client1
# remember that common name must be unique e.g. use mydomain-client1
# and YES you want to sign the keys
Code:
./build-key client2
# do this step for as many clients as you need.
Code:
./build-dh
6. We are almost done now… right we need to create a few config files, you can download my template from here,
Code:
cd /etc/openvpn
Code:
wget www.designpc.co.uk/downloads/server.conf
# make sure you change a few things in the server.conf file, like DNS
# servers
Code:
touch server-tcp.log
~ this makes the log file..
Code:
touch ipp.txt
this makes the IP reservation list.
7. You need to make a few changes to OpenVPN itself. Go to..
Code:
cd /etc/init.d/
edit the openvpn file
#Uncomment this line (line 119)
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Add these lines below it, changing 123.123.123.123 to your public IP address,
Code:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.3 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.4 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.5 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.6 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.7 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.8 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.9 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.10 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
Now install iptables if you don’t have it already,
Code:
yum install iptables
#test it
service iptables start
service iptables stop
8. Now for the client config files. If your client is a Windows machine, make sure you have installed OpenVPN, use the gui version, downloadable from here;
[url]
You need to copy a few files from the server to your client machine, here is the list, located in /etc/openvpn/keys/
## WARNING ## Use a secure way of transferring these files off the server, something like WinSCP.
ca.crt
client1.csr
client1.key
client1.crt
Put these files in this directory C:Program FilesOpenVPNconfig
Now you need to make a client config, here is an example..
PHP Code:
clientdev tunproto tcp#Change my.publicdomain.com to your public domain or IP addressremote my.publicdomain.com 1194resolv-retry infinitenobindpersist-keypersist-tunca ca.crtcert client1.crtkey client1.keyns-cert-type server#DNS Options here, CHANGE THESE !!push "dhcp-option DNS 123.123.123.123"push "dhcp-option DNS 123.123.123.124"comp-lzoverb 3
Make sure you edit any of the lines with comments above them.
Call this file client1.opvn and put it in C:Program FilesOpenVPNconfig
Make sure the file extension is .opvn not .txt
To connect right click on OpenVPN in the taskbar >> Connect

I've been using GoDaddy hosting for years. Not because I thought it was good, it just was dirty cheap at the time and I knew that they were a reputable company.
However, I'm ready to try something else.
I'm looking for a cheap, reputable windows host that will allow me to use ASP.net and PHP. (aka, my two favorite languages)
I'm not afraid of oversellers. I have been using GoDaddy afterall. However, I would like something a little higher quality and not famous for their lag times and excessive server load.
Any ideas? I'm not hard to please...
[Note, I'd prefer not to receive PM's with people pimping hosts that they manage or have reseller accounts with. But, if you must, at least give me the courtesy of letting me know that up front. ]
