I hired a full time web designer to help me create the site but I'm wondering what else I'm missing.
I'm guessing I'm going to need a high end dedicated server with an 100mb unmetered port? How much space should I be looking for? The file size is going to be limited to 150mb per download and if the files have not been downloaded in 2 weeks they will be deleted. What type of HDD space should I be looking for?
I am using streamline.net to host my domain but i am looking to switch for something better (more storage space, cpanel control, extras) I used their built in web design service to create my web page instead of an outside web builder and i would like to find a hosting company that has this service. i don't want to be paying extra for this (i mean a lot of money) as i am not a business user.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI don't know where to ask this question so hopefully I'm in the right forum. I have a friend that owns his own company and travels alot. He needs a place where he can store his work files (mostly document like word, excel, pdf, drawings, etc...) which contains very sensitive information. He need a place where he or the people in his team can transfer files and that he can setup access levels for his users. He need access to his files with a secure tool such as sftp or something else that you guys can recommend.
Also, since some files can be very large he requires a good transfer speed from everywhere in the world. He's looking at around 100GB of storage space and a very high transfer allowance. He will probably need to host his website also. Do you guys think it's better to host the files and website separately?
I'm using MRTG to display graphs of traffic to my server, and today noticed a period of several hours where there was a lot of *incoming* data over the network, which is unusual. There's a good chance it's some harmless script or service that I've forgotten about, but really I need more information on what services/ports are creating what traffic, which brings me to my question.
I'm wondering whether there's an easy way to check what services (or ports) are creating traffic, and what volumes of traffic. It would be nice if it was possible to graph or breakdown the traffic by service somehow, and determine which are the biggest users of bandwidth and when. This is a dedicated CentOS server that I can install basically anything on, but that doesn't use a control panel, so I'd like to see what great ideas you folks can come up with, or whether there's any nice software you can suggest. I'm only using the server for hobbyist stuff at the moment, so free software, or ideas using built in commands are preferable.
We are redoing our website and we have removed / renamed a few old pages. I was wondering if I can do 301 redirect for removed / renamed pages without having to actually create them? To explain with an example:
On old website : www.domain.com/mypage.php
On new website: www.domain.com/mynewpage.php
I created a 301 redirect in .htaccess redirecting mypage.php to www.domain.com/mynewpage.php without physically creating "mypage.php" file. When I access "www.domain.com/mypage.php", I get a 404 page not found error. When I create a blank "mypage.php", the redirection works fine.
Is it possible to do a 301-redirect without having to create old files ?
I got this message now for the second time:
Template processing failed: file = /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/domainWebmail.php, error = Template_Exception: No data. file: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Template/Processor.php line: 28 code: 0 Previous error: Template_Variable_Exception: No data. file: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Template/Variable/AbstractCachedData.php line: 67 code: 0.
How can this happen and how to solve this?
does anyone know of a good free file upload/download service that allows the transfer of 1-3 GB?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe first thing i'm thinking of is cpanel but there's many others If you're runing a server with 5000gb traffic/bandwidth per month When you're creating hosting accounts, could you allow 5000gb in
each new account you're creating?
Like if you had unmetered, you'd put unmetered in every new account Considering no account would ever reach any way near their monthly allowance.
creating a setup that will host a site which is expected to receive 50-60K visitors in the first few hours after its launch. The site is membership based and the backend (member system) runs on PHP5-MySQL5.
Here is what I have thought of until now.
Site's sales page (which also happens to be the first page that visitors hit) hosted with Amazon S3 service. All public media files are off loaded to amazon S3 service to keep the number of requests on the hosted setup to minimum.
At the front we can have a high performance firewall like Cisco ASA 5520 followed by two dedicated load balancers in Active/Active state.
Behind the load balancers we have 3 front end servers acting as web-servers. These have SAS disks, 4GB RAM, RAID 1 setup, Dual Xeon Quad core processors each.
Behind the front end servers - we have a dedicated load balancer for the database cluster.
The database cluster consists of 3 Storage/API nodes and one of the front end servers acts as the management node. Each storage node has 8GB RAM, Dual Xeon Quad core processors, 4x RAID 10, SAS setup.
The private network is on a GigaLan.
Do you see any possible/obvious flaw in this design or anything that should be added/subtracted from the setup?
file storage service that can be used for backups and allows FTP access.
Do you know of any reliable service that also offers a free account?
I am using the latest version of Apache on an Windows XP machine
When my web service is down for maintenance, since Apache is will still be up and running, I would like for Apache to serve an xml file as a response for the appropriate request. I have three operations available, makePayment, calculateFee, and voidPayment.
Is it possible to have Apache determine what type of request is made for example if I have an xml error page for each operation; how will Apache know which xml file to serve based on the operation request from the client
To make it more clear: What is the best practice for modifying apache to know what request is being made in order to serve the appropriate xml file?
I can get the service list by /usr/local/psa/bin/service –l

I'm having trouble deciding whether it'll be alright to use dedicated hosting for an upcoming service.
1. In what scenario would dedicated hosting be insufficient?
2. When should I go for self service instead?
3. What do you recommend for learning server administration?
I'd like to ask all of you, what did you think a professional hosting company must have/offer that you want to buy hosting?

I ordered a VPS from Hosting-IE on the 25th March and was initially told it would take 4 days or so to setup. A week later I emailed them, and was told by Max that it would be setup that day.
Throughout the next week I emailed a few times and received no response at all, and got fed up so a few days ago I just filed a complaint with Paypal to try and get my money back (After waiting nearly 3 weeks for a VPS I think I should). Now Hosting-IE are saying to Paypal that they gave me the info, when this isn't true.
So I just lost 60 euro's, not that much but still enough to get annoyed about. Gonna see if I can file a chargeback with my credit card company.. hopefully it should work.
Anyway, definately stay away from Hosting-IE! I should have read up on them before I ordered..

I have signed up with Hostforweb.com on 26th April 2008
On weekends I work for my business (my own not the company's for which I work full time).
Uploaded the few websites that were lying there for quite some time.
On 29 th April the websites went down, for which I opened a ticket with hostforweb.com support and got a reply from them saying that
"there was some mis configuration in the nodes which is rectified."
Today all of the sudden they suspended the account and sent a message saying they got a message from "Bank of America" (because of phising activity)
One of my business staff phoned me to my work place and informed about this and for which I was like "WHaTTTT"
I am being in the online business since 1998 and never had a complaint from any of my previous hosting or present hosting providers other than this silly service.
After reaching home from office (which is an 1hr 15minutes ago), I opened a ticket in their support section and the ticket was forwarded to account & billing department by level2 support person.
Later I got a reply from their accounts & Billing department which had a reply saying ...
There are diverse salespeople who sell my wife's artistic services and those of other photographers like her. They are looking to replace their currently self-hosted calendaring system with a hosted service. Can anyone here recommend one or a place for me to look? Here are some of the features I imagine they are looking for:
1) Individual calendars by photographer.
2) Easy color coding of items on the photographer calendar. They color code based on which salesperson found the job and if the job has a hold or a confirmed status.
3) Integration with iCal on the Mac. At a minimum, iCal users should be able to subscribe to calendars on the service.
4) Various levels of security. All salespeople should be able to update all photographers' calendars. Individual photographers should be able to see only their calendars and may (or may not) have permission to change them (this is determined on an individual photographer basis)).
5) Reliability. This is at the heart of their operation.
I am doing a business plan to start a Shoutcast Hosting Service,
We already decide to go with the FDC servers, and for running
the server I would like some help on these issues:
1. What system operation should I select for the server:
- Windows 2003 Web/Standard Editions
- CentOS 5
- FreeBSD 6.3
- Gentoo LiveCD.
2. How about the best control panel to use:
- Plesk
- Cpanel
3. Do I need to install on the the server just the
Shoutcast Server file or also the DSP and Transcoder
for Unix (sc_trans_lame)?
4. I also need the Cast-Control software to manage the
accounts and streams, but according to the instalation
manual I need to use a MySQL Configuration ?
Because I dont know nothing about SQL databases!
I'm in a little shock to see umbrahosting user (umbrahosting.com) to spam this forum with their hosting offers when the sites on their servers are down for DAYS now (mine has been down for about 2 days now). No customer support (unless they want you to pay them). Terrible experience overall.
