Some VPS providers offering 2 and some are giving 4 IP private addresses.
Do we need private IP for setting up Name Servers? Is 2 private IPs enough for one reasonably big site with private name servers, email, etc.?
I just discovered this completely by accident on my new vps
visits (via apache) from 10.16.x.x and 10.28.x.x
These aren't backups but actual website visits.
What on earth is going on? Is my host browsing my website though their network?
Their behavior seems harmless but I just want to make sure this is not a security issue with a neighbor somehow doing something.
Is is possible to let the IP to explain to specific dir via SSH?

Can someone explain RAID to me in less technical terms...i'm not really experienced when it comes to dedicated servers but i am purchasing a new one for my social network and they offer RAID 0 or RAID 1 for free.
What is it? what does it do? do i need it? its free so should i take it anyways?
What are advantages of RAID?
any disadvantages?
faster server or slower because of raid?
incompetent monkey that works as the "security" expert of my current dedicated server provider. He got a report from SpamCop regarding an email that was sent as if it was from an address of my domain, i.e the header looks like this:
From: <made-up-firstname-and-lastname>@www.mydomain.com [this alone looks fake]
The rest of the header are addresses of various servers in Argentina and Germany that the mail bounced off, while my server is in America.
I'm trying to explain to this baboon that you can set the From field to be pretty much anything, but he still reckons that because when he visits the domain in the From field, it is my website and I should be responsible for the spam.
Is there any tip you guys have for dealing with people like this, at least to buy me enough time to organise a replacement server in case of an emergency cutover?
Sorry I'm pretty annoyed at having to deal with this after getting home from a great Friday night out. They're giving me 12h to resolve this BS.
I am currently with the planet and am happy with them, however as part of a new venture I need to gather a list of hosts as well as the planet that will be able to cater to the ventures needs and go to tender with the requirements.
ThePlanet offer something called a virtual rack. This is cheaper than renting a dedicated rack, allows for Gb networking but doesnt not allow for a SAN. Do other providers offer something similar? The cost of putting a machine on the virtual rack is not that much more expensive than just renting the machine. I guess there isn't too much to these set-ups to be fair.
If not, then we are looking for dedicated racks, with the ability to host a SAN at some point, but starting off with say 3 servers (2 web servers, 1 storage server with raid5 6Tb of hdd). These servers will be dealing with network cameras although I don't think that many will be streaming at once but the network capacity does need to be there.
Who's door should I be knocking on to find out some prices?
One final thing, should I bother looking for co-lo providers as well? We are in the Uk but not precious about our host being in the same country at all (it would be nice but uk prices are ££). Really, all we would be able to do with co-lo is buy the hardware outright to save price as we are not interested in looking after the hardware.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of building a database-driven website. The main purpose of the site is really for me to improve my PHP and MySQL, but I will be writing a forum and offer blogs to users, as well as the main point of the site, which is to allow users to upload text-based artwork (ie. stories, poems, etc). I don't expect the site to use up that much bandwidth (assuming my code is clean) or space, as I don't expect it to grow that large. Like I said, it's mainly a learning exercise.
Anyway, the point is, I am looking for a host. I am currently with DreamHost but am having a lot of trouble creating a custom php.ini (because I know absolutely no PERL and am just starting to learn shell commands). The main host I'm considering is MediaLayer. They advertise on their website that you have a private cgi-bin directory, but it was unclear whether this directory would have a private php.ini. This is pretty important for me as I don't have the skills (yet) to do anything too clever like what is required at DreamHost to change it.
Is anyone here a current or former MediaLayer customer? Is the php.ini in the cgi-bin? I know that DownTownHost have private cgi-bins, but the php-ini is not there.
I had a look on the forums but, although I found mostly good general feedback about MediaLayer, I couldn't find anything that specifically addressed the creation of a custom php.ini file.
What's the benefits of these private VLANs I've seen advertised around? Anyone have a good understanding?
I've read a few things about them but have yet to fully grasp the concept.
how to have your own private name server indepedent of your hosting.
are there any private dns provider or hosts. fast and reliable if yes can whmcs/whm will be able to add records automatically
im running cpanel and i cant figure out how to get private dns setup...
example:
my client wants ns1/ns2.their.domain but i cant figure out the correct way to get it to work.
How many of you out there really use or need private network?
if a private network really justifies the extra cost of switches and motherboards with dual-nics.
Our server count with The Planet only seems to be increasing as of late and I'm now starting to drive myself nuts with bandwidth counts, costs, etc.
My main concern at the moment is our total bandwidth. While we might have a server with a 2500GB limit only use 50% we might have a 1500GB limit use 200%. I understand that any overages are our own fault, etc but there must be a way for us to combine all bandwidth across all servers!
Is it possible for The Planet or any of the other big boys to provide private racks with pooled bandwidth without going colo?
I have very specific needs for a VPS provider that can host a reverse engineered game server (NOT WoW) I want to run. I will not be using BitTorrent or IRC or the like, but I want to run an emulator that may or may not fall into DMCA reverse engineering issues (the legal implications just aren't all together clear with the DMCA). I just don't want to have to deal with getting unplugged constantly over something that is not illegal. I won't be hosting any copyrighted material or the like.
Here are my needs:
Windows 2003 Based VPS
384-512MB RAM upgradable if needed
10GB Disk space (Don't really need even that much)
150GB+ per month transfer
a good connection with semi-low latency (doesn't need to be as low as a counter-striker server or the like but needs to be solid and fast)
A control panel of some type is fine, but I only really need Remote Desktop access
Other than that I am pretty open. Country of origin doesn't matter too much and I would only like the company to be somewhat reliable. I want as cheap as possible of course, but I would be willing to spend ~$50 USD per month.
I’m summarizing below what we need.VPS with dedicated USA ip.
Private & secured proxy installed. Need to do SSH SOCKS tunnelling (Used for online communication/surfing by our helpdesk staff)
Ability to host 2 or 3 low traffic websites. (LAMP environment)
Our Budget: $10 to $15 per month. Paid thru Moneybookers.com on monthly basis.
Do u think any reliable VPS provider can offer the above? What disk space, bandwidth, control-panels and other features we should expect in the above budget?
I have been racking my brain trying to set up some private nameservers but with no luck.
The domain is hosted with godaddy I went through and added them via their domain control panel.
I have webmin as my control panel and my question is how do I set them up on my side?
We are looking of going with a VPS hosting for a secure dealer site. We won't need massive amounts of space, but bandwidth is more a concern, as we may need to serve video files for demos and such.
These are the 4 companies we are considering going with:
EV1Servers
ServerPowered
SteadFastNnetworks
PowerVPS
Has anybody here used any of these hosts? What have been your experiences with them?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to set up my server as a proxy for my own private use, where in my home PC's browser I can tell it the server's IP, port, and the password that I set, and it will function like a normal proxy. How can I do that? What software do I need and so on.
All my servers are on Linux machines.
how you are doing this if you are co-locating a few servers in the same rack. I'm looking at putting in a small server to handle the backups offloaded to it, and connecting the 2nd 1Gbit ethernet ports on our Poweredges to a private switch. Does this sound about right and how you would handle them?
We already do offsite RSYNC, what I am trying to work out is how to handle backups held onsite from multiple servers. The servers will have a local copy of a backup, and i'm thinking one offloaded to a specified backup server. That backup server can then RSYNC offsite.
Right now we have two 1RU servers, with two more going in and a 2RU server. So ideally I would like to backup all 5 servers to this box.
Perhaps i'm over complicating it? However I do want to have a good backup system in place, I sleep easier at night this way
I would like to have a discussion.
We are looking for a private suite, and we have got many offers, can someone tell me what are normal prices per square meter in regular data centers? Just a basic room, no hardware etc.
We received really strange offers and they flip from 400 dollar to over thousand dollar per square meter.
Which DC is considered more reliable?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSince I had my server set up last Saturday, I still can’t get the nameserver I created and DNS Zone set up properly to point to my domains. I read a lot of documentation, followed some tutorials to create my nameserver and so far I am not getting any progress.
These are the steps I took to activate and setup my NS.
1. Went to my registrar and register my NS
ns1.icomunik.com – Used one of the 5 available IP.(xx.xx.xx.54)
ns2.icomunik.com – Used a second different IP. (xx.xx.xx.55)
They were set up over 24 hours ago. When I ping them I get this message:
Pinging ns1.icomunik.com [69.162.64.53] with 32byte of data.
Request timeout
Request Timeout
2. In WHM (BASIC CPANEL /WHM Setup)
a. Main shared Host IP – xx.xx.xx.xx (Primary)
b. HOST NAME CHANGED UNDER FUNCTION TO SERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM
c. Primary NAMESERVER (NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM) ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS AND CLICKED ADD an A entry
d. Repeated for the second name server
3.Under Networking Setup
a. Changed Hostname to SERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM
b. Nameserver IPS
xx.xx.xx.54 = ns1.icomunik.com
xx.xx.xx.55 = ns2.icomunik.com
4. DNS Functions
a. Adding an A entry for your hostname
Found your hostname to be: server.icomunik.com
Found your short hostname to be: server
Found your domain name to be: icomunik.com
Found your main ip to be: 10.x.x.xx (Private Network IP)
If this looks correct (ADDED)
5. DNS Zone Editor
Shows server.mydomain.com and 2 other sites (URLS)
6. The DNS Resolver are 2 provided my Limestone Networks
I restarted NAME D (BIND), rebuild Apache and nothing seems to work, It over a week now I can't do anything for a server that I am paying almost 200 bucks a month..
I have a client who is looking for a normal hosting which allows him have his own ns1.blabla.com ns2.blabla.com Does such host exist?
