How To Deny Access Via Www.mydomain.com/~mycpanelusername/
Is there a way to prevent accessing the website using the domain.com/~username/ Currently on most (all?) cpanel hosting plans it's possible to access the site via [rl]. Maybe there is something to prevent that as it could cause very serious duplicate content issues. Moreover, I think it's a global bug that affects millions of hosting accounts. Yahoo, for example, many times indexes wrong URLs because of that... In many situations, if I knew your cpanel username, I could link to it instead of your domain to remove your site from search engines..

Site Www Does Not Work But Without Www Does
Like the title says, I just moved my site over to my own server, and it is running cpanel. Anyways the main site [url]works, but [url]does not. What is really strange is, [url]works fine as does [url] So I figure there is something I have to do to get it all to work right. The other issue is that if you are logged into [url]but goto [url], you are not logged in anymore, but if you go back to the original link, then you are still logged in. This happened on the other guys server before with the main site as well.

Getting Www.domain.com To Work, Domain.com Resolves Correctly, Just Not With Www
Okay guys, a quick question for all the gurus out there. I'll admit I'm a bit embarassed posting such an easy question, but give a guy a break, I've been using managed servers for god knows how long and I've finally decided to take a dive into administration. Everything is firewalled and secured properly, I'm just having trouble getting the ServerAlias to work right. What happens is I go into my browser and enter in [url]walaa! It works. Now, when I enter in [url], it does not resolve. I have checked with "dig" the domain settings and it looks as though all of the nameservers are set up fine, this is an apache problem. I'm running apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 for all those who are interested. Here is my etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.com: <VirtualHost *:80> # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com ServerName domain.com ServerAlias www.domain.com # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located) DirectoryIndex index.html DocumentRoot /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/public # Custom log file locations LogLevel warn ErrorLog /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/logs/error.log CustomLog /home/demo/public_html/domain.com/logs/access.log combined </VirtualHost> I've been messing with it for about 45 minutes and I'm worn out at ~4:30am and could use a helping hand from the pros.

A2b2.com Review
A short review of a2b2.com [url]after a few days - I will update this review thread, when I have more experience with this host. The short story My server broke down wednesday morning. All my websites were down, my e-mail were down and I didn't know what to do. The hosts couldn't find the error on the server and I waited for a long time between each answers from the (US based) support team. After 2 hours were the server still was down I searched for good offers for a new server. I cam across a2b2.com and found their offer and speed of server pretty fine. I contacted their sales department and go answers quickly. After around 1½ hour they found a server that they were able to finish for me the same day! I confirmed the order an paid with credit card a few minutes past 12. I go the IP of the server an hour later and could start changed DNS for my most important domains. Around 3pm could see the server was up running - and asked the tech team at a2b2 if I could get access to the server. Few minutes later I got the offer that I could install the basic software (like apache and so on) by myself if I wanted - if confirmed and got the root login immidately. The period between the payment and the time I got the root login was only 3 hours! I can't be better than that. Totally 5 hours including discussions about what server I wanted and so on. The server is fast (from Denmark where im located) and the support have been execellent so far. I hope this continues, then I will be a happy customer They made my bad day a lot better. I will try to write a new review when I been at a2b2.com a bit longer (a month or so). Hopefully as good as this one.

A2B2/VAServ
Just thought I'd pass on my experiences with A2B2/VA Serv to avoid anyone having similar experiences. I've been a customer of theirs for several years now and the past 6 months have been awful. It started with them canceling a DNS hosting service they offered with out notification, leaving all my sites inaccessible for two weeks. Since then I've lost track of the number of times that my DNS records have been inaccessible. There have also been problems with their firewall denying access to my box, causing another day of downtime. In fixing these issues, the support staff have continually shown lack of knowledge of the tools they're working with (from not knowing how to send out important announcements to people on their mailing list, to pressing the wrong button and overwriting my zone file with the default). Speaking to Rus has usually resulted in the source of the problem being located, but then it can take days for his support team to then understand what needs doing. The worst support was when Rus and team ignored requests for access to my zone files for months and then demanded I paid them an extra month's worth of hosting or they would switch of my site instantly. I have tried to find out if this was an isolated case or if others were having similar problems, but Rus refuses to allow me to discuss this issue on their own forums - presumably he know how many people have been affected and doesn't want that many people complaining publicly. It's a real shame - it was a great company when I started hosting with them, however I think it's now grown too big for it's boots and can't provide the same level of service and reliability it used to.

Solidhost Or A2b2
I'm considering getting a VPS server to run 2 or 3 small websites and also a SVN and Trac server for a team of at present 2 people. In the future, I can see this team getting no bigger than 5 - 10 people. At the moment I am considering the Starter Plan from Solidhost (Drat, can't post links) Or the £22/month plan from a2b2 (Drat, can't post links) I am based in the UK myself, so really a UK server would be best for me as I understand UK (and to some extent, European) law a lot more than US law (not that I would be hosting anything illegal, it's just having to think "Hmm, can I do that in America" before I do something... bleh) The Solidhost server seems to be fully managed, that's nice to know because considering I am currently running the SVN and Trac server from my house on an old Laptop, I still have a tenancy to break things The a2b2 server says it's Semi-Managed, although it doesn't (or at least that I can see) state whether this includes server hardening in the Management scheme, this is something which Solidhost seem to be keen on helping people with. Anyway, was just wondering what other people though about these plans in general and also hopefully get some opinions of people on these plans.

A2B2 18 Month+ Review
I've been with A2B2 for around just over 18 months now and feel that I'm well placed to right an overall review. I originally signed up with the A2B2 brand after having problems with numerous other VPS hosting providers - I won't name names but I'll say that I went through several different companies before ending up with A2B2. I orginally had a VPS on the East coast with DirectAdmin, but I felt this wasn't to my needs so changed VPS plans. Like in a previous review I can find all these different brand names confusing. It would be better if there was just one brand name offering the whole bag (shared and VPS hosting). I later on found out about the CheapVPS brand which suited my needs more in terms of what you get for your money and the fact that I don't need any support for my VPS servers. I still have several CheapVPS VPS servers to this day, and find them totally reliable. Support overall is okayish, could be better in some area but I'm not complaining since I receive a good level of service for what I pay. I have to say its been better with the new support staff, but can find things a little difficult with them sometimes which can result with the intervention of Rus (who is a great guy). Setup times were always fast, never had any problems in that area either. In terms of server reliability, I've never had any noticable downtime apart from entire DC outages at BS. So in summary, out of 10: Support: 8.5 Reliability: 9

A2b2 Or Wisehosting Vps
both these providers are good UK and US providers and have spoken to both in the past thats why i cant decide who to go for on a VPS? So what i decided was to ask them both in public and get opinion of others, My specs are 512mb ram with 1gb bust a nice hd and good ram based in the UK which both of u offer, i would proberley go for semi managed and cpanel. Now my questions to you both is if i had a DDos (which i have never) what would you do to my vps? My next question is how do you share the servers cpu? If fairshare how many on a node and how much of the cpu does each node get as a basic, i know they get full bust proberley? My next question to both is how do you manage support? Rus i know you have taken over many companys so does that not affect the support timings. What are the catches as in the small print Fianlly can you both tell me why should i choose you?

A2B2 +6 Month Review
I have been with A2B2/CheapVPS for well over 6 months now. I have multiple VPS with them, both US and UK based, and a mixture of Windows and Linux. I have no complaints about the networks or servers, having only experienced a couple of down times because of chassis swaps and network problems. Support has been okay, but not the best; my suggestion would be that other staff apart from Rus (the owner) have access to facilities so that they are able to set rDNS, reload Windows VPS and other things like that, as far as I'm aware and from what I've seen, these kind of things can only be done by Rus. As those kind of things can only be done by Rus, the support ticket can easily drag on for a bit, and Rus being a new father means that he doesn't always have the time to reply to the tickets. Although I have my few opinions of the support situation, I will not be moving to another host anytime soon as I'm happy with the state of my servers with A2B2, and as long as the servers are up I'm happy.

A2b2 Service Review
I'm coming upto a months service with a2b2 and have to say it's been a pleasure using the services. It might not all be fully automated with a nice gui but the service provides everything I need including stable servers for developing Support = 5/5 The times i've been required to contact them they have replied fast and dealt with the issues i've had and have been polite and easy to communicate with during pre-sales also. Network = 5/5 I cannot say i've noticed any downtime with them, I will admit i've not monitored the VS too closely but everytime i've tried and SSH session it's been there ready for use. Server Speed = 5/5 After being with VPSlink for a few months and getting extremly tired of the slow diskspeeds it's been a dream using my VPS with a2b2. no lagging when typing commands. I've got one of there £12.50 packages but minus CPanel as I wanted to build my own mailserver. Service, Reliabilty and Support knock the socks off what VPSlink provide I can't speak highly enough of Rus and his team I will be moving out of VPSLink this month since i've just finished configuring my development server with a2b2, I'm not going to post the url hosted with a2b2 but will provide it in a pm to a moderator if they require it as it's a dev platform I don't really want the world knowing the url

A2b2 9 Month Review
Ive been with a2b2 for exactly 9 months today, so I guess that now is a good time to post a review. I better quickly state my package that I had. It was a custom special double ram package that I found over here at WHT: 512mb RAM Guaranteed 1024MB RAM Burst 600GB Bandwidth 15GB Web space 2ip's Unmanaged London Bluesquare datacenter All for ~£14.50 a month I liked this package and service so much that I decided to pay for an entire year a few months ago. Rus gave me 3 specials options: double RAM, Double Bandwidth or 12 months for the price of 10. I decided to go for the double RAM option so now I have 1024mb RAM Guaranteed and 2048MB RAM Burst. The main site that im hosting is www.spudmud.com (300,000 + page views in September with around 45,000 Uniques a month) as well as a few very small sites. Now I better get to the reviews: 1. Speed The server was extremely fast in all respects. It almost seems like im the only one on my node. The specs as I can see them are 8 x 2.7GHz Xeons so its really is quite a tank with the best hardware. Once when my site was on the front page of HeavyGames.com I was getting ~1 visitor every few seconds (the game file was ~2MB big) and I did notice that the site was starting to feel the strain (probably because of my bad programming ) and I submitted a ticket to support and Rus upgraded a few of my limits and the server was running super fast again. Since that every new game on heavy games doesn't even seem to effect my server with the new limits (not sure what Rus upgraded but it did the trick). 2. Uptime Since I got my server I would guess that I have had around 99.99% network uptime and around 99.8% server uptime. There have been one or two network problems but they were fixed fast. My VPS had one day where it was down for 17 hours because it "Hung" and I was on holiday so didn't know until I checked at an Internet cafe and I issued an reboot request and it was back up within a few minutes. I have never has any problems with my node, just with my own VPS, probably because im not the best server manager. 3. Support Well all tickets are answered within a few minutes or up to 1 hour max but I would say around a 5 minute average response time. 4. Cost Im very happy with the price of ~£14.50 for what I am actually getting. Even now when I look in the VPS offers section I don't see many providers offering anything even close to what a2b2 offers hardware and support wise. 5. Features a2b2 offers HyperVM which is great for rebooting you own server or monitoring your memory usage and traffic usage. They also offer a DNS cluster for those who want it but I havent set mine up yet. The only problem with a2b2 is that it has no RAID so I need to backup everything myself but a2b2 offers very cheap backup space so its not too bad. 6. Conclusion To summarize I would call my 9 month time so far a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend a2b2 to anyone that wants a reliable and fast vps with very good support and a very nice price.

A2B2 - 8 Month Customer Review
Product: 2x VPS Service: Fully managed === Setup and Support === I was a little disappointed with the speed of setup. I paid for the hosting, but it took them 5 days to get the VPS online and accessible for me. I was told this was because they were "waiting for the DirectAdmin license to be provided by the provider". Not sure what that means, but I paid for 5 days of nothing. Once the VPS was up, I received very fast responses to my tickets as I got the server ready for my sites migration from another host. They upgraded Apache/PHP for me, plus installed a PHP module I needed. Later they installed an SSL certificate for me, which helped me out a lot (DA's interface kept failing). Most ticket responses were within a few minutes, but on numerous occasions the responses weren't great (as you'd expect with such quick replies). Several times I had to retype details I had already provided in my initial ticket -- which made me wonder how carefully they read and understood my support requests. Overall I was impressed enough after a couple months hosting my own sites, that I suggested that my company moved its customer sites to A2B2. The setup for this second VPS again took 5 days, which just seems a bit too long to me. Luckily, we had no time pressure on us, but, if your project does, I would certainly seek some kind guarantee from A2B2 before you place your order. === Reliability === A2B2 have been less good here. Some of the problems I have experienced over the last 8 months include: backups failing (error message "system load higher than acceptable limits"); the VPS being non-responsive (tickets yield the same "the load on the node seems fine" response and there is never a satisfactory investigation); DirectAdmin license expiring and locking us out; Apache randomly going down and not restarting (I'm still waiting on an explanation); and running out of hard drive space. The last one is the most worrying since it caused numerous failures on customer sites and locked us out of DirectAdmin. On the VPS in question we had used 211MB of 10GB, which raises the question of whether A2B2 are overselling. The problem was solved by them "deleting some files", which didn't fill me with confidence for the future. === Value for money === I think the price point for the two managed VPS I have is good, in particular given the amount of work the support team are prepared to do. The margins on selling web hosting to our customers are tiny, so we can accept some of the issues we've experienced. Also, when there has been a problem it has always been fixed. This has sometimes involved Rus stepping in to take over from the off-shore support. === Conclusion === The good outweighs the bad and A2B2 still probably represents the best bet for UK-based companies wanting a managed VPS service. However, compared to some of the US companies I think they fall (a little) short on the quality of the service and technical competence of the front line support. I'd rate them thus: Support: 6 out of 10 (but 8 out of 10 for effort) Reliability: 6 out of 10 Value: 7 out of 10 Overall: a solid 6.5 out of 10

A2b2.com 6 Months Vps Review
I have been hosting my vps with a2b2.com since May/2007 till Oct/2007 . This hosting company owned by Rus Foster offers great hosting packages with suitable prices. I purchased vps from them and they helped me transferring my website to my new vps , also they have a very nice support team ! Whenever i submit a ticket (via email) they respond asap (usually within minutes.. ) They have been always helpful .. specially when i face a problem with my vps as iam a newbie in vps issues . My vps was in uk and it was always fast and even faster than usa hosts .. (maybe coz UK is nearer to Jordan than USA ) Not forget to mention that they offer live chat on their website and also on msn .. and also, whenever my vps goes down while iam away from internet .. i just send sms to them in order to get it rebooted! Now i have upgraded to a dedi server with them and i hope this review will be useful to anybody looking for a good hosting company with great support team and excellent service .

Review: A2b2 / Cheapvps / Epicvps / VAServ Group
So... let's start my review, shall we? I came into VPS business with EpicVPS, both Amaresh and Raghev (if im right), are excellent persons. Always helped me a lot and their service was overall great. After some disasters xD, EpicVPS was sold to VAServ. I thought: Okay... maybe it's time to move BUT I should definitely wait a few months and watch how this is going to be. So, stayed as a client. I dont know how much months have passed, maybe 6? Dunno, but I do have to say a few things about Russell's company, VAserv.com: I had some billing problems, specially when they changed to the other software, but all this was solved with screenshots (not that they doubt, just wanted to keep it clear), and in no time, I had it fixed. (Also had one billing issue, for some other reasons, which was solved and today Vladimir just made my day.. heh, not that he offered anything, but telling me kind words... made me feel good. ) Loads... Everyone knows that when you're using a VPS, sometimes you have some stupid users abusing the server , this way you'll get affected as well. Happened a few times, and I was telling them it wasn't my VPS, etc etc (I've a pretty big vps, and always monitored so I can be sure that everything is running smoothly, this is also pretty secured). I didn't like when they once restarted my vps without asking, and load issue was still there. Again a few days later, they restarted again, like it was my problem. (And figured later that wasn't, but it happens!). Anyway, this was solved, and their staff was really helpful on this, being really decent with me, just like it SHOULD BE in EVERY company. Uptime... What can I say, it's true the VPS was rebooted a few times, but, besides that, it's great. Staff... Always helpful, an extremelly fast support and lovely staff! Just like... hum, Kody, Vladimir... both awesome. (I consider them like business-friends. Honestly, they have helped me A LOT). It's true that there are a few of them that still need some work heh, but overall, it's really really good. Support... Extremelly fast and efficient! Top notch. Never saw a company like this. Hardware... Top notch, NEVER had a disk issue, or something like that. Just like a dream! Network... PERFECT. But really, just PERFECT. I'm living in Portugal, and I've about 40/50 ms to UK (I choosed UK, but they have other locations), the network is really fast (downloading at 1.7 mb/s from my home, no download accellerators). Also, never had a single downtime. Billing... Good billing software now. Pretty organised, and simple. I like to keep it simple, easy to use. (And yes, I know that ubbersmith is a COMPLETE software xD) Price... Excellent. I don't find any place with better prices. Even if I someday find one, I still WON'T move. Other Issues... Had 2 IP's listed on SBL, reported it, and they already knew, then 2 weeks after the issue was solved. (Yeah yeah 2 weeks, but I emailed SBL and they didn't even answered me , so, vaserv did a great job.) They just got me as a loyal client, and won't leave them for sure! Rus, great job! I guarantee you that if you join them, you'll have an excellent service. Overall: Uptime: 10/10 Staff: 10/10 Support: 10/10 Price: 10/10 Total: 10/10 What do I want them to get better? Please... just keep providing this quality service. Join them. (Domain will be verified as I will submit through the Report button.)

IIS 5 - Cant Access Page From IE7 But Can Access From Firefox
I found a great little app called ID Shutdown Manager which bascially lets you do stuff like wake on LAN, Shutdown, Log Off etc. The App also has a cgi script which you can call from a web server so you get a web interface to the program. This is exactly my reason for getting the app as I just wanted to host a web page where I could login from the internet and wake on lan my media PC. Ok so... The app gives you all the iis or apache setup instructions and tells you to place the cgi script which is actually a .exe into the scripts folder and then enable basic authentication for it. Done. So if I navigate to <SERVER>/scripts/sdmancgi.exe its supposed to give me a user / pass prompt and then when login successful I see the app and can wake on lan etc. ok I have got this to work on the actual machine where server is running I can access it in IE7 by localhost etc.. and it works However when I try to access from another PC in my lan by typing <SERVER>/scripts/sdmancgi.exe I get a nice little message saying the content cannot be displayed you may require to insall a program or something to display it. If I try to access the page from firefox on same remote PC, it works! I can also access page from outside my LAN, it works on my N95 browser. Also I have had friends try it from firefox from the Internet and they say it works as well. Forgot to mention I am running on port 8081 as I already have other servers running on 8080 and 80 (one is my router and the other server installed itself from setup.exe and I dont know what server its using) I have also tried latest apache server as well as some other free one. Both have the same effect. Ok in firefox, not in IE. One would think its a problem with the cgi file not compatible with IE7 however, I even tried to go to default page setup in IIS <SERVER>:8081 and I get the same message. So at this point the server hasnt even tried to access CGI or prompt for Basic Authentication. I tried googling and not much luck. I read something about CSS and when I view source of failed web page from IE7 it mentions something about CSS so dont know if this is it?

Www. Doesn't Work
today I noticed that whenever I type any of the domain names on my server with a "www." in the address bar, it simply says "server not found". When I remove the "www.", it loads the site? This is a major issue. It never used to be this way, but I noticed it today. Where should I edit? Could it be "named.conf"? Or maybe just DNS cname settings in plesk?

Redirect Domain To Www
The thing is that we have a dedicated server at our company hosting several domains, and right now you can access them both with the www prefix or without it, but there is no redirection in case you access without it, and this has negative impact with SEO related stuff. I have the rewrite apache module enabled (I tested with a script I found on the net), and I also tried a test configuring a single domain including some code about redirection. Right now I'm getting a nice "500 Internal Server Error" This is the code in .htaccess Code: Option +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [url] (mydomain.com is, obviously, a replacement for the real domain in both cases)

777 Permissions For Www
Let me start off with saying: I haven't had any suspicious activity, nor do I think I was compromised. I logged in as root, and was simply clicking around my dedicated server and came across a few folders with permissions at 777. ALL are above /public_html Irregardless, is this safe? I recall reading a bunch of topics on here, that /tmp needs to be hardened. Isn't this also above /public_html? For one example: /var/tmp is chmod to 077 ..inside is a bunch of sess_ files Is this folder open to hacking?

Www.AFreeWebHost.com - First Impression
When you visit www.afreewebhost.com , you don't see an ugly portal with to many links, advertisements, etc... You get a nice...HTML website. That's right, no ASP, no PHP, but a simpel, but very good looking, HTML website. Is it a bad thing? Yes and no. "Yes" because it has "founded and owned by one person" written all over it and "no" because my experiences with small or "one-man" companies have been much better then with companies with many employies. Free Web Hosting The free hosting offer looks good. Even though they require advertisements on your free site, the free hosting is not going to bring in any cash. 1GB webspace with 20GB traffic. That's more then enough for 90% of all websites on this planet. And a 468x60 or 120x600 banner and a textlink don't bother anyone. Most site-owners use Adsense or something simular to cover the montly costs anyways. I do not own a free hosting account. But from the looks of it I think that both free and payed services offer the same features and support. The company is able to do that because they also make money with site-/banner-designs. The little bit of money that they might loose with free hosting can easely be covered by a few design-assignments. Pro Web Hosting You don't see it very often. A company that offers monthly prices and gives a discount for 3 months. Most companies only offer yearly sign-ups and some of them give a 14-30 day money-back guarantee. But if you are not aware of everything you "agree" to when you sign up for a year and/or when you do not have a valid reason for asking your money back, you will not get it back. 4$/month for 5GB with 100GB traffic or 3$/month for the same deal when you sign up for 3 months. Personally, I think those prices are very realistic. The best deal is to go for 3 months offcourse. And the more expensive packages have the same "GB for the buck" value. The most expensive package will cost you 22$ for 50GB webspace with ONLY 500GB traffic. Yes, I say ONLY, because for that amount of money there are better deals out there. Don't get me rong, I still think this is a realistic price. But, and there is a bug BUT, I do not beleave that people go for the most expensive package without any experience with the company. The people that do pay 22$ for 50GB with 500GB traffic are the ones that started off with something small that has grown to something bigger, people that are satisfied with the features an the support that they've had for some time. Nice offer, but are they honest?CPanel -> Yep, it's there. Fantastico -> Yep, it's there. No Ads Required -> Offcourse. Daily Backups -> Yep, tested and working. 99.9% Uptime Guaranteed -> Only time will tell. 24x7 Support -> It's more like 12x7 Support, wich is 100% acceptable in my book. Everything else that is listed on the webiste is there and it all works 100%. The company has not modified the CPanel features in any way, wich is understandable, but there are features that I miss. Features that I have encountered before ( don't ask me for names because I don't remember them ). For example, it's possible to backup every single file on your webspace in one huge compressed file but it's not possible to backup the content of just one folder, one add-on domain. So if I want to backup a small website like my clansite, I have to backup all the other megabytes/gigabytes that are on my webspace. All other sites and files that are not even remotely related to my simpel clansite. AFreeWebHhost.com is up-to-date and offers Fantastico De Luxe 2.10.4 r17 This is the latest stable release of Fantastico. Even though many scripts are not up-to-date, it's basicly "the best you can get" at the moment when it comes to auto-installers. For those of you who don't know, Fantastico allows you to install PHPBB, SMF, PHP-Nuke and many other platforms without any knowledge. All you need to know is how to click a link How about the service? So far, so good. Because I had to wait about 24 hours before I could actually use and view my webspace, the company gave me 25GB extra traffic and an extra month for free. Now that's what I call good service! ( maybe the company knew about my Servage.net review ) After sending many emails back and forth I was able to view my testpage. And even though I did not contact the company about any other issues, a day or two after our last contact they contacted me once again, just to see if everything was working ok. When I made my first backup I got the message that it got saved in the "home" directory. I wasn't able to find my backup so I contacted support. Within 12 hours I got a reply. Some of you might feel like 11-12 hours is to long, but I rather wait 11-12 hours for a decent, friendly, HUMAN email with usefull information instead of getting a "human-robot"-hybrid reply with noth enough information. Uptime? Uptime can be checked on [url]. This is the parked domain on my webspace. For my websites I use addon-domains. Speed? Download this file to test the speed: [url] I have the "Pro Webhosting - Starter Package". Visit www.tgow.info to check how fast pages load. Would you recommend this host based on your first impression? I sure would. All the features are working just fine, the speed is not "superb" but good enough and the support so far is great. My rating based on my first impression: 8/10.

Cpanel Dropping The Www
I just wanted to check with you all to see if you have experienced an issue with cpanel that drops the www when you access directories and if so, how did you go about fixing it. For example - if I were to go to - www.domain.com and then access a sub like /test - it would show up as domain.com/test - dropping the www.

Www Wont Work
when I try to go to a site of mine with the www like this one [url] It won't work but if I take out the www like this[url]it does work. I'm not sure what could be causing this. As far as I'm aware everything is setup okay. I understand it's impossible for anyone who reads this to properly diagnose the issue without access to my server.

Www.mydomain.com/whm
Whenever I have had a server with WHM/cPanel I have always been able to raise WHM by browsing to www.mydomain.com/whm - however on my latest server this doesn't work, I can only get to WHM by browsing to my IP:2086 The server has been up and running for 6 days and www.mydomain.com has been working almost from the beginning. dnsreport shows that reverse dns exists for hostname.mydomain.com I am at a loss to know why I cannot raise WHM by www.mydomain.com/whm

Www Record Change
i've had the same issue come up a couple of times recently and i'm looking for a bit of advice before i go any further. i'm doing web development on a couple of websites where the companies want to preserve the mail exchange set up with their existing hosts, but wish to move their website to a different hosting platform. i have just set up a VPS which i want to host the websites on, however, i am unsure if i can simply request that the existing providers change the www record to point to my VPS IP address. is this sufficient or do i have to ask the hosts for a nameservers change?

Email/www Co-hosted
I am moving my shared hosting website to a vps at new provider. Is it usual to place email server running on the same VPS as my website? Should I worry about email bombs taking out my www or a www DoS attack shutting down my email? I ask because my new provider doesn't offer email on other own dedicated server. I have to run it on my VPS.

Review: Www.goultimatehosting.com
Here is my review of the web hosting company I have chosen for my forum. First let me start this off by saying that this is not my first time using a web host nor is it my first website, and below is my road to www.goultimatehosting.com I've used: sonnehx.com ( I found them on a simple web search, it was horrible I ended up leaving to ehostpros.com ) ehostpros.com ( They were alright for the first few months, then I kept getting emails about my site switching from one server to another. At, first you think that's good upgrades are a good thing, but when it happens too often within a short period of time it leaves you frustrated not too mention the site was getting slower. ) After that I discovered webhostingtalk.com a few years ago and during that time people would "rave" about site5.com and so I decided to move from ehostpros to site5. Again fine at first, but by now I had 3 websites, and one of them was a forum for gaming and it had over 8 thousand users registered, a month or two go by and now im being suspended like once a month for resource usage. After some digging again at WHT I find they are becoming "oversellers", not too mention most people are recommending I use a dedicated machine. Thats nice and all but its out of my budget. So I found out about "VPS" kickassvps.com ( so now im at kickassvps.com they are actually quite nice but it was still a little above my budget not too mention when you use an established host all the settings are done for you and its very simple to just use cpanel to automate everything, while with a windows vps machine its bare. If you want a vps I recommend kickassvps.com good people, but you should know what you doing. ) www.goultimatehosting.com ( At this point I have a forum with 14,000 registered users, it's also HEAVILY customized, and I know that I will be suspended immediately if I use a "overseller" , while dedicated and vps are out of my league, budget wise. ) So I post a thread here at WHT, and this is how I found out about them. Thread: [url] First thing I noticed about this company is that they have a specific category for clients in need of a server which needs high resources compared to the average shared hosting. (Called "High Availability Shared" ) [url] By Lordbug Second thing I noticed was something I rarely see as well. They list the accounts per server. I love seeing this, it gives some reassurance about overselling, etc... ... I guess from admin point of view you guys dislike stating this information but I can tell you now as a client I love seeing details. [url] By Lordbug Third thing I noticed was the support ticket times. Notice the reply times in the picture below. [url] By Lordbug My forum deals with gaming, discussion and pretty much anything related to online gaming. Which has its drawbacks, it means I'm also dealing with a crowd of younger people whom unfortunately sometimes turn to the "script kiddie" part of the internet and do malicious things. Just the other day I had a few users perform an attack called "Bandwidth Raping" where they get a list of images on the website and load and reload the images over and over until eventually the website is suspended due to Bandwidth Limitation Exceeding" I'm sure you admins are all too familiar with this. Well one of the tools to do this is a website called gigaloader.com Users tried to use this on my website, I ended up going over the 100gigs mark due to the fact I had a 1mb image on my website which was easily exploited with this. So www.goultimatehosting.com did something for me which was totally different of how other companies dealt with stuff like this. First, instead of suspending my website, it was automatically upgraded to the next higher plan so that my users don't experience downtime, and I don't experience the embarrassment of a suspended notice! Then a ticket was sent to me explaining my resource and bandwidth is way up there. After some digging I explained to them the problem. With the help of customer support, I enabled hot link protection. I was also able to look at webalizer and awstats etc to find ips, and use the ip deny manager to stop these people. To top it off with there help we contacted gigaloader.com administrator and they blacklisted my website from that site so people can no longer do this to me, and if that wasn't enough instead of penny pinching me for every gig I went over, they told me they understood the situation and since it was near the end of month they would leave me on the higher plan until my bandwidth resets on the 1st of the month then they will switch me back to my old account AND NOT CHARGE ME... how nice is that? I can't express to you how pleased I am with their support and the ability to provide an environment for my website that is not saturated with shared hosting accounts so that the needs of my resource hog website can be hosted at very nice speeds. I will also add that the cpanel software is very updated, comes with customized skins ( I use the nice modern black theme look ;] ) So those of you whom are looking for a new company to try out or are upset with there current company because of overselling give www.goultimatehosting.com a try, im sure you won't be dissapointed. By the way I am also going to try out the reseller account packages that they have in the near future and will review that as well. So there is my 2 cents, lengthy I know, but I wanted all whom read this to see how I went from point A to point B, and by doing so I hope it helps you.

Www Version Doesn't Resolve
I set up a domain in plesk 8 (LAMP), but the www version of the domain doesn't resolve via the browser, wheras the non-www version does. I set the nameservers (and glue records) yesterday. Why might this be? Could this be due to dns propagation?
