CPanel Cluster
May 13, 2008I try to keep on the up and up about hosting and constantly looking for a new host to provide better services, but I saw an article in TheWHIR that got me to wonder if people are making stuff up or is it just "marketing" or real?
Ok, so the article:
[url]
I hope adding a link to the article is ok?
First of all I have NEVER heard of cPanel ever offering clustered technology. Can anyone confirm or deny that this is real? I have really only used HSphere which I know has some cluster abilities and even those hosts don't advertise "clustered" services.
Then I see other so called cPanel wannabe clustered services which they call cPanel clustered failover or something like that which to me is ummm..more fault tolerant hosting than actual cluster hosting.
Basically, am I just not understanding the meaning of "cluster"?
I think cluster has to do with the proper allocation of reasources spread across the network of defined processes, though, I have been wrong in the past...
Reseller / Cpanel Migration Failure
Oct 27, 2009I have a really urgent problem.
I signed up for a new WHM/CPanel reseller account, and want to transfer my sites from an existing reseller account (also WHM/CPanel) with a new (very well-known & positiviely-reviewed) provider.
(I'm moving because the new host offers services my existing host doesn't.)
Now, I have moved a reseller account from one WHM/CPanel host to another before without any issues.
But this time - moving from my current host to the new account - it doesn't work.
This is the error my *new* host got when transferring one of my clients' accounts:

Sorry, the copy failed. Unable to find the cpanel user file. Is the archive missing (cwd: /home/migrate/cprestore loaded backup-10.27.2009_06-42-18_abiaheno/cp/abiaheno)?
checked 6 files.....
***************************************************************
They told me to ask my current host to fix whatever's wrong. I did so, and his response was, (paraphrasing) "I'll submit a bug report to CPanel, but it will take quite a while for us to get an answer, and we backup and restore websites every day so I don't think there's a problem."
I'm very frustrated, and desperate to get this migration done. I've notified my own hosting clients that a move is imminent, and they are all holding off on updating their own sites until the migration is done. This was all supposed to be done yesterday, so I'm getting so anxious and think I'm losing credibility with my clients every moment.
my question is, does anyone have experience with this type of issue, and what can cause the error mentioned above?
Cpanel DNS Cluster....for Simple Failover.
Oct 26, 2007We have a 1 server setup. Right now all dns, web, and email are hosted from this single box.
We wish to bring in a server2 and have dns cluster setup, this would also host mirrors of email and web sites from server1.
What i want to know is what is the best way to setup the DNS cluster/nameservers?
would it be
ns1.domain.com pointing to server1 dns
ns2.domain.com pointing to server2 dns?
if that is the case and lets say server 2 goes down, wouldnt that mean the 50% of hits to the web site would be denied as ns2 is down? The reason i ask this is that to my understanding nameservers do not have priority, they are randomly hit.
I am trying to provide some small bit of redundacy.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Cluster Setup In Cpanel
Jul 7, 2009Hi there, i have few question for the best suited DNS Setup for our compagny.
We have tree server located in montreal.
Two are running web services, one of them is only for dns ( home server ).
Two main server have Whm/Cpanel.
One run Cpanel Dns only.
Main server have 7 ips each
Dns server, only have 1
Let say we use domain xxx.com
Right now we have ns1/ns2/ns3/ns4 point to server1
ns5/ns6/ns7 point to server2
We have no Nameserver that point to our dns only server for now.
I'd like to advoid runing DNS Service on all of them, maybe having two slave one master would be fine. Question: What would be the best suited dns setup with my current config for best responding time and fast replication?
How To Domain Name Server (DNS) Cluster CPanel With ISP Manager
Nov 24, 2008Currently, I run cPanel servers for my clients and also host my company website on them. However, I now wish to place my company website on a seperate system running ISP Manager, and in order to connect the servers to my DNS I presume that I would have to use DNS clustering.
Here is my question - how would I create a DNS cluster between cPanel and ISP Manager? Anyone know how?
