Changing Package (Win To Linux) Without Downtime
Oct 30, 2008I'm using Earthlink to host a website, but I think this question is valid for any host.
If you have a hosting account that's on a windows server/MS Windows based and want to switch to a Linux/Unix server account, how would you do this without any downtime?
I assume when they switch the account, all DNS related entries have to be updated so you won't be able to reach the website for a day or so.

Sep 19, 2008I just wanted to know if there's any way I could speed up the process of moving my clients domains from our old server to our new server.
All my clients are currently on server1 and I want to move them all to server2.
I know I can go in and change the name servers for each domain to the new server (NS) but just wanted to know if theres a quicker way such as changing the Ip Adresses in the SOA records to point to the IP address of the new server.
Then if they're already loading off the new servers ip address, I can then change the domains name servers afterwards.

Changing Server Domain Name
Sep 12, 2007I have a dedicated server with around 8 clients on it running CentOS and WHM/Cpanel.
Server is currently named server.oldname.com with 2 ns records ns1.oldname.com and ns2.oldname.com which are assigned the first two IP's of my block of 8 available to me through the datacenter.
I have purchased a new domain name and have changed the name of my company. I am wondering the easiest way to go about changing server.oldname.com to server.newname.com and to create new glue records to replace ns1.oldname.com and ns2.oldname.com with the ns1.newname.com and ns2.newname.com
Are there any guides or detailed steps in this? Since my business so far has been local, I have the username and passwords to manage many peoples registrar records. I don't mind having to update theirs to the new ns's manually.
Is it possible to have ns1.oldname.com ns2.oldname.com and ns1.newname.com and ns2.newname.com at the same time? So, I could essentially change people over gradually. Would their be any things to worry about in all of this?
Changing How Server Directories Work
Aug 12, 2007is there a way to change your server so that if you're trying to link to site.com/a/page.html through a link on site.com/b/page.html you can simply put /a/page.html instead of having to put ../a/page.html? I've noticed that some sites don't use the .. and was wondering how I could do the same.

Feb 16, 2007I have an existing server running cpanel that I would like to change the hostname on. What I am curious about, is the effects on the rest of the server if I go and change it. From what I can tell, the current host name is being used all over the place, and I don't know if cpanel updates everything on it's own, or if I would need to manually update everything after I change the name.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow Much Downtime Is Too Much Downtime
Apr 30, 2008In your opinion how much downtime is too much downtime?
1, 2, 5 hours over the course of a month? 99.8%, 98%, 95% total uptime too little?
I mean I can understand technical difficulties and I am willing to be patient with my host especially when the service (when it is up) is good but where exactly do you draw the line, start asking questions, or canceling that contract and demanding your refund?

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow Much Downtime Does It Take To Become Unacceptable
Sep 24, 2009Recently our provider has been having unplanned long outages (along with a complete server move that took several hours). This has turned out uptime statistic from exemplary to mediocre (100% to <99%).
As we are a hosting company and normally have an extremely good amount of uptime, when is it time to give up on the provider? I am extremely concerned this will become regular and our uptime will simply continue to go down the drain, however, they have been good and have been the main attribution to our 100% uptime (along with our great technicians and hardware).

View 9 Replies View RelatedDNS Name Transfer, Want No Downtime
Jun 11, 2008I am the webmaster for a high level court system. We run mainly .php and MySQL like most do. We are in the process of doing a transfer to 1 and 1. I want to be able to test everything (database wise) before I do the transfer. I thought the best way to do so would be to purchase another DNS name and server and transfer everything there first to test and then when that is fully operational have a redirect to there and do the DNS name transfer from the old site to 1 and 1, and when the DNS name is on 1 and 1 take the redirect off . I don’t want any downtime at all.
This might not be the most cost effective but for downtime I thought it would be the best way, especially when I can have a live test before the transfer.

Downtime Alert
Jul 13, 2007I have many domains and webservers. so it's hard to monitor everything usually. i heard there are some websites and softwares to do this.
does windows 2003 have anything default like this ? or can anyone suggest the application for my windows 2003 server? which sends alerts if any error is going on my server?
Also there any other websites which is doing this monitoring? because i have some shared accounts and i want to monitor it too.
Documenting Downtime
May 4, 2007I'm having a bit of a quabble with my current host because our server was unreachable for an extended period yesterday, and since I made a traceroute that arrived at their datacenter but not at our server, I was assuming it's a crystal clear network issue.
Today however they tell me that a traceroute means nothing. To quote them:
Quote:
Please note that having a traceroute end prematurely does not always indicate a problem with the network it ends at. Being that traffic is typically asynchronous, the return path back to you does not follow the same providers. Your traceroute can not fully take into account network connectivity issues on the return path nor will it show them. You would need a traceroute to and from the server at the time of the issue (while this may be impossible if the server is down, opening a ticket immediately and informing the technician you would like a traceroute to X.X.X.X IP would hopefully catch the return path issue).
What do I make of this? First time I've heard that, when the network is down, I need to contact my host to tell me. But without any polemic - is this what it boils down to?
How Much Downtime Is Acceptable
Feb 24, 2007It is probably acceptable for a site on shared hosting to have some downtime. However, how much is acceptable?
According to Pingdom one of my sites had a total downtime of 14 hrs for Feb. One time it was reportedly down for 4 hrs.
I had set it up to ping every 15 mts. Are these results trustworthy? And if it is should I move my host? Or at least tell them to move my site to another server?
The reason I ask is because I was wondering if this was the norm for shared hosting.

Unsolvable Downtime
May 24, 2007I have a server that used to be with Hostgator. There is a hundred accounts and the average load is 0.5. It has 2 gigs of RAM, a Dual-Core Pentium D and 2x Sata HDDs in Raid-1. At one point it started being very often (at least once a day) down. It would be all of the sudden down. I used to monitor it, with 0.2 load average, and all of the sudden, the connection is lost, I can't access the web sites, etc... Fed up, after several weeks pressuring over Hostgator, I cancelled the server, I contracted the same configuration at Softlayer and contracted TouchSupport to manage the new server. They migrated the hundred web sites to the new server... Exact same problem. Every single day, any time of the day the server is down. There's no specific time. And right before it's down, load average is below 1. From the logs, there's nothing unusual. Softlayer changed the CPU and RAM just to make sure. Same problem. It's been a month like this, and I just don't know what to do at this point. Moving to yet another company doesn't seem to be a solution I think. If it were a DoS, load average would be very high before going down, but it's always very low right before. Do you know what may be causing it?
View 14 Replies View RelatedReplace Disks With Little Downtime
Feb 12, 2008I colo a 1U machine with 2-36gig drives. They're not in RAID, and I have it set to rsync backups to a remote machine on a regular schedule. I have another remote machine functioning as a secondary DNS. Neither of these 2 are on a large upstream pipe. I just bought 2-147gig drives that I'd like to replace the 36g's with. How does this sound for a scenario to accomplish this with little downtime (pre-pardon my noob'ish ways):
1. Do a complete rsync of the filesystem to my remote machine as well as sync the mysql db's (to 1 remote drive).
2. Pop that single rsync'd drive into an external enclosure.
3. Travel to datacenter, once there, plug external drive into laptop and start up a VM that boots off of that drive.
4. Sync again so external drive has the most up-to-date data.
5. Change over IP's from colo to VM on laptop.
6. Shutdown and swap out drives in colo'd box with the new ones.
7. Setup new drives as RAID 1, install OS, then rsync filesystem over from laptop to new drives in colo'd box.
8. Change back IP's.
What am I missing, or is there an easier way without a 2nd colo/dedicated server? Currently, the colo'd machine is using about 1.3Mbit/sec outbound and it's running a low load.

Apr 8, 2009to migrate domains to another server with zero downtime. There is a panel (but its webminish) and I have full root access to everything so this will be a hands on job.
The thread I recalled seeing was about someone hosting shoutcast servers and they wanted to migrate and there was a way they did this without any downtime.
I can't remember the details but it had a way to redirect all traffic to the new machines. This would be great, as I also want to direct all traffic including mails (not just HTTP).
63 Hours And Still Going Downtime With Liquidweb
May 3, 2008like to clarify this is not a post to bash liquidweb.
I have been a loyal customer of LW for the past 2 years (almost)
My websites have been down since Thursday 3:00 a.m due to "DDos Attack"
on Friday night, the network engineer told me the "DDos Attack" has stopped and problem should have been resolved. However, no websites were accessible.
On Saturday, I ensure you I have made many phone calls to Liquidweb dedicated server support and try to resolve this issue. (Never once did I raise my voice and they were being very polite.)
I believe the server admins that were helping was at the end of their shifts and every time I try to make a phone call to the person that was assisting me to get an update, liquidweb would tell me that he has gone home. Every time the server admin finishes his shift, the support ticket is not assigned to anyone else that is working until I make a phone call to them stating my problem.
I own quite a few large sites that generate over 3 millions hits per day and every hour of downtime means I will be losing valuable clients and revenue. That is why I am extremely frustrated with the 63 hours downtime as it seems like the results of working hard for the past 2 years is slipping away from me as the clock keeps ticking.
I am sorry, I am just trying to share this with fellow webmasters as I really need a place to express my feeling. (None of my friends will understand online business.)
Again, I am not bashing liquidweb...I must have really bad luck myself.
