I use cPanel for managing my hosting.
There are about 18,000 emails in my default email account (username@mydomain.com). These emails are using more than 50% of my hosting space.
Therefore, I want to delete all of them. One way is to delete them through webmail but it will take alot of time.
Can anyone suggest a way to delete all of them in one go?
Let's say I buy my domains from godaddy and have the DNS records pointed to the shared host.
From there, the shared host creates your CNAME records, or whatever you want to add to your domain name.
What happens if I wanted to control the CNAME records? Can I do this from godaddy? If so, how? Are there negatives to this method?
I'm a window type of guys and considered myself more proficient using windows operating system. However, when it comes to linux, i have not really a clue except some simple command i learnt from CMD that also applied to linux.
I have a root access to my dedicated box and I use putty for SSH. Problem is from there, what kind of usual and daily web admin do to the ssh?
In other words, what is the daily routine of Network Admin in Linux?
Any recommendation of website that introduce me to using ssh to use remote linux server?
I want to get on my own ded server for free hosting and have it fully managed by the provider e.g. they have the capability to look for spammers/hackers/phishers/ etc while I'll be on my marry way providing free hosting. Is there such a provider? Any recommendations?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up a new site on a new server, primarily informational, while maintaining the old order-taking and database functionality of the existing one. This new one is an Ubuntu vm with samba and apache all set, but the old one is running Tomcat and basically takes java programming to update. How can I properly route incoming requests to the proper server, pass back and forth login information (which resides on the old server), etc? I'm a relative newbie to all this, so the solution might be blindingly obvious, but it's a bit daunting to get them working in tandem.

I am planning to drop ESXi on a company server to consolidate some existing boxes, however I cannot for the life of me figure out VMWare's licensing structure, with regards to managing the 'free' version of ESXi. It's free, only VirtualCenter (apparently required to manage the hypervisor) works for 60 days. I'm pretty sure I must be missing something here, anyone got experience with deploying ESXi, if so, what's required to remotely manage it?

I had a thread about this several years ago here but it petered out without a satisfactory resolution and when I tried to restart it the Sitepoint bot suggested I start a new thread . . .
Briefly, I'm into lots of stuff - software, art, poetry, business, etc, so I want to have different email addresses for each activity but I want them all to go to the same inbox so I don't have to log into n different accounts to check my email.
My website is hosted by HostMySite but their webmail offering ("Smartermail") is lame. I don't have the option of installing a different email client (at least not for what I'm paying) but I DO have the option of routing my email to a different provider while retaining my @pnArt.com email address.
Aliases don't solve this because if someone sends email to an alias, e.g., myalias@pnart.com it goes to my root account inbox, say, myroot@pnart.com so when I hit "reply" the recipient sees the mail coming from myroot@pnart.com, not myalias@pnart.com. Furthermore, if HE replies it goes to the global "reply-to" address which is a THIRD address because I don't want the root address in general circulation, to minimize spam to my root email.
I'm getting complaints from clients and customers about this because they're not sure which email address they're expected to use.. Is there any third-party email provider that lets me have multiple aliases or identities that I can process from ONE inbox, but where the alias or identity is applied in a consistent way so my clients see just ONE email address from me?
I'm planning a website at the moment but I'm wondering about a slight issue, regarding the local root folder of a website.
Currently, I'm using Dreamweaver to create a website and I have had no problems of uploading my files to a site through Dreamweaver before. But I will not have access to my computer for about one month every year. However, I have a laptop available during that month. But since my local root folder is located on my stationary computer it seems impossible for me to, in any way, use that laptop to manage my site (upload new files to the server).
If there's a moderator lurking that knows of a better spot for this inquiry, by all means point away.
We're an ad agency in the very vertical market of Recruitment Communications.
We've developed an employment site that we host on our Multi-site account.
They have today requested a quote on what it would take to create 100 email accounts for their various employees and administrators on this employment site.
I initially think we tell them in the proposal that having their employees utilize webmail for their accounts would be least problematic (read: least cost support) for them. It's still going to present a bit of manual labor on our part creating the names, but not too daunting.
The client has no experience on staff that would be able to undertake the task as outlined above, so naturally we're concerned that their needs are indeed met in the best possible way.
One of our company's goals for all of our clients is to, as much as is possible, Under-promise/Over-Deliver. But as we're not specifically a "provider" in the typical sense of what they're asking, I am also thinking that it might be better for both the client and ourselves to examine whether this is a feasible undertaking.
If we were to undertake this 'project', and this is something you've experienced or read about, might you care to offer guidance on what guidelines we should assert/set-up? Web-mail versus Pop? Pricing structure? Support fees? Etceteras, etceteras.

Building, running and managing your own Server Farm.
This thread is dedicated to those who find themselves on or considering this path.
Here, I am not hosting any ‘foreign business interests’ or associating with any other ‘hostile networks’. I am needing to create many sub-nets, with 3 to 5 WAN’s inbound and outbound. I have a ‘research sub-net’ needing special considerations and will link associates/contractors by VPN. The product-line will also require Radius Server(s). Plus more details and requirements that make the whole project most complicated.
(Thanks to ‘leeware’ for this beginning theme)
1.0 Objective: Building a 30-50 Server facility:
I checked my records and made this decision 2 - ½ months ago. Since then I have acquired 28 servers, an internet security device, two 3com’s, two 4-port kvm’s, a few small Cisco switches and a host of power related stuff.
2.0 Justification for Building vs leasing:
Control. Costs. Open options. Unique demands more easily appreciated by myself as I am the one possessing the vision. Choosing who I work with as I do the hiring/contracting or initiate associations.
We are generally molded by personal experiences and these set-up our prejudices. I am certainly no exception. My experiences with hosts generated an excellent introduction to the wide world of websites/control panels etc and some products that support it. But the too often cryptic communications, some surprise costs due to my ignorance and that vulnerable ‘boxed in’ feeling made me wonder…
2.1 What is your rational for building vs leasing?
One of my major ‘cross the line’ rational came when I discovered I could buy a used server each month for a similar cost of leasing one. Next, were all my own confounded ‘special circumstances’ that kept cropping up and of course these were not the fault of any hosting company. Lastly technology came to my street in the form of good multiple pipes and my zoning is acceptable because I am off a major highway.
3.0 Business Objectives:
My business objectives center around a very long-run project that I have already long ago completed and keep updated to viability. And I would rather keep that subject to another venue.
4.0 Budgetary Information:
I have enough ‘resources’ to pull it off.
4.2 What is your operating budget (How much money do you plan to spend on an ongoing basis to keep the place running for 12-24 months?)
Same as previous and I will note that ‘time and attention’ is keenly important.
4.3 More importantly, where is this money going to come from? If from investors they generally require a sound business plan.
I require a sound business plan and have it.
5.0 Return on Investment:
Accomplish goals on and on…
5.1 After you account for the initial capital expense to get everything up and running + your on going operating costs, how long will it take you to make back your initial investment and then reach profitability? (12/24/36 months for longer?)
is there any program for windows that i can put all of my domains and my clients personal info and keep an eye when a domain is going to expire or in which server is a domain... or who client has a domain etc... ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe are consolidating several of our servers (6-8) into one location. Collectively, they'll probably use about 15-20 Mbps. We'd like to keep all of our VoIP traffic on premium bandwidth, but the rest of the servers (web, mail, etc) on something like Cogent.
My question is this: Is there anyway to keep it all on one switch/router but be able to specify certain IPs or MAC addresses to use a specific provider? Is BGP the only option? It would be nice to be able to have that level of control. If BGP is the only way, it doesn't yet seem realistic on this scale.
I'm proably being completely overzealous, and should just stick with two Layer 2 switches (one for each provider) and put each machine on one or the other, then setup a seperate VLAN for them to talk to each other. However, we'll probably be hosting servers for customers in the near future so having a router wouldn't hurt, we could use the traffic shaping, QoS, etc. in the long run.
MS Exchange Managing Software with IIS Support ? Something like cpanel, but with Windows Exchange support.
Does Ensim or Plesk supports Exchange ? (Creating users, remove, edit..) ?
how to manage different e-mail accounts in linux, we are moving a cpanel hosted account into a bare-linux machine.
I can get all the services setup, however the question remains how do I add different mailboxes with different domains?
Do I have to create a linux user for each mailbox?
Our company has recently invested in a Microsoft Small Business Server, we are moving all our email accounts to exchange server.
Our company runs a high profile website in Japan and we have a few email accounts that are downloaded by multiple staff, rather than have all staff download the same emails is it possible to have all emails forwarded to a public inbox where emails processed can be marked and ignored by other staff?
We do not want to forward the emails to user's personal inboxes, this seems to be the common solution for this type of email.
This might sound like a basic questions but we have trolled the internet for best practices in trying to set up this solution on exchange server but have not come across an answer.
Is Plesk capable of managing different servers from one interface?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have many server with Plesk 12...in this server I have single nameserver...example server number 1 have ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com - server number 2 have ns1.tldnames.com ns2.tldnames.com etc etc...
Now I want manage all server with single nameserver example all server working with ns1.newnameserver.com and ns2.newnameserver.com ....

I have a client who runs a non-profit organization that puts computer kiosks (running Windows XP) in public areas where low-income people can use them for free. They take old computers, put them back together, and then install them into local grocery stores, gas stations, etc.. where people can use them for free.
This is non-profit work, so their budget is pretty much spent on hardware and upkeep of the computers. (ie: internet connections, Windows licenses, etc.)
They have about 3 dozen computers now, and managing them is becoming more and more time consuming and difficult so they have asked if I can make some suggestions to make things more efficient (easier).
All the computers are built with a hidden partition which contains a drive image. If the computer gets too "screwy", then they can simply re-image the machine and "restart". However, this requires a trip to the local computer, which takes a lot of time, and all of this is done by volunteers...)
One idea I had was to use "remote control" software so the volunteers doing the work don't have to actually go and physically see the computer when debugging a problem, updating software, reimaging the drive, or whatever.
A typical problem might be that the store owner where the machine is deployed will call and say, "It's not working any more". So now a volunteer must go and visit the computer to see what's wrong... but with remote control software they could simply login remotely, fix whatever is the problem, or if needed start the drive re-image.. without ever needing to visit the computer. (Save time!)
So... I've done quite a bit of research on remote control software, and there seems to be lots of "for pay" options. However, the organization just does not have the budget to pay for remote control on a few dozen computers. (Also, they are expecting to roll this out in multiple cities soon, so the solution must be scalable, and paying per computer just isn't realistic given their budget.)
I found the "VNC" remote control software, and that seems to be perfect. It's free, and seems to work well.
However, there are no less then 10 different "flavors" of VNC available, so I'm hoping perhaps a few people here might be able to recommend which one is the best solution. tightVNC, ultraVNC, miniVNC, there are even a few pay (one time small fee) projects.
I have no idea which one is best for them, and I just don't have time myself to investigate and test this all out to make an informed decision.
I'm hoping you can help me narrow down the many choices to either one or two options.
Here's what it needs to do:
- Needs to be "always on" so that the remote control software works immediately after the computer boots. (ie: Even if nobody logs in, remote user should still be able to see the screen and do a login.)
- Be impossible for computer users to remove.
- Be able to take control of the machine without anyone being physically present to click "ok" prompts or accept incoming connection, etc.
- Work with remote machines that are in a LAN with an unknown IP. (Some of the computers are plugged into an existing LAN so that they can use the existing internet connectivity.) In this case, the remote machine does not have a public IP, and the current IP might change after each reboot. The remote control software must be able to "see" the local machine, even if the IP changes, etc... (Maybe some software that runs on the remote machine that "sends" its IP or updates a hostname to an intermediary server every few minutes?
- Allow file transfers between remote machine and controlling machine.
I did the complete installation of cPanel on Windows Server 2008 Server using Hyper-V
I installed it on CentOS 5.4 64bit
Just need to know are their any issues when using Hyper-V as Visualization tool with Linux and cPanel?
I allocated 1 GB memory for it. Noraml usages 40% memory and 0.1 server load.
I'm trying to find hosting that offers ASP, PHP, SQL and some kind of control panel (plesk or cPanel) and that accepts Paypal (credit card is okay but Paypal would make it 50% easier.)
Anything around $15/20 would do.
I have started a website for guitar players that has achieved immense growth. In just 2.5 months I was getting more than 6'000 daily unique visiors and 25'000 daily pageviews. I was running this website on HostMonster and a week ago I started getting "CPU Exceeded Errors" several times a day, because the hosting wasn't capable of handling the load. In fact, I was getting so many errors that the website has been unavailable for 10% of time or something like that. GoogleBot obviously got tired of that and my number of visitors just collapsed.
So, I really need a decent hosting that could support at least 30'000 daily uniques or 3'000'000 monthly pageviews. What would you recommend, a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a dedicated server?
I would love to be able to host multiple domains and to use cPanel and phpMyAdmin. Basically, I am looking for something similar to HostMonster service, but way more powerful. Could I get that for $50 - $100 per month?
Currently our site resides on a dedicated server that I manage. We are only using a fraction of the resources on the server and I have no interest in trying to sell accounts or resources, just too much headache. We made the move from HostGator to a dedicated server some time ago when it became apparent HostGator was overselling. Our server was seeing reboots way too often, ads and their company branded error pages (although I could have changed this part), and sluggish performance.
What I'm interested in is a hosting company that offers backup solutions and can make your backups available quickly in the event of a failure. Other companies I have dealt with offered this but their response time of 1-3 days is just unacceptable. I will also stay away from any overselling, built in ads of any kind, and companies without 24/7 phone support.
I would like to stay with cPanel so our user's email accounts will not be interrupted or changed when the site is transfered. Of course if there is a full import option to another control panel this isn't an issue.
So my question is this: Does this company/service exist, or are we stuck paying for a dedicated server that we don't need? I'm more than willing to pay, just looking to see if there is an option less expensive that my dedicated server.
If Theres Any Offshore V.P.S Hosting With Cpanel.
Looking For About
30-40 Gb Disk Space
100-150 Gb Bandwidth
Other Specs Not Really Fussed
I am having a *real* headache finding a reliable UK host that offers a Virtuozzo VPS with CPanel. There seem to be plenty that offer Virtuozzo with Plesk (probably because they are made by the same company and it gets bundled) but I really need CPanel for the ease of migrating sites from our test environments to a live platform.
I would look to Europe or even the US but most of my sites are ecommerce and I need to ensure they get good google listings in the UK index. My understanding is (and *please* correct me if I am wrong) that Googles local indexes prioritise local TLDs (ie: .co.uk) and local IP ranges (UK assigned IP ranges) which would be fine but I'm hosting a mixture of .com .net and .co.uk sites so I'm forced to use a UK host.
I am budgeting around £25 ($50) per month for a 256mb ram / 10 Gb VPS. Looking at the offshore prices makes me weep with jealousy, I have a VPS with Slhost in the US and it's been fantastic, great price, great support, professional company. The UK seems to be full of glossy template based host sites, you can hear the spurs and six shooters rattling behind the covers.
There seems to be a big gap in the market for a reasonably priced reliable VPS host with cpanel in the UK. There doesn't seem to be a credible middle ground between £10 a month shared reseller accounts and £80 a month dedicated services.
like know the difference mainly between cpanel and directadmin;
So is important that the host have all the plans :
one with cpanel and one with directadmin (if have plesk and others is also better but not fundamental )
Is important also to have server in europe ;
For your experience are both stable the panels and which are the principal difference?
I have a VPS that runs cPanel/WHM and have been receiving a few enquiries where clients want to move only their email hosting to me. Most of them have small, static, web sites and seem happy with that.
Is this possible? If yes, I would appreciate some pointers on how to go about setting it up.
I have seen some shared hosting providers include cPanel. As far as I understand cPanel is to manage and install apps on VPS. Why would you need that on shared hosting?
