I were already at two paid hosts and had no good experience.
Then I have tried a few freehosts and saw a lot of rubbish.
I searched and searched, chatted to support chats of hosts - but no luck yet!
then I came here and now I ask you to find a right (US) hosting service...
First I tell you what site I have, that you can truly estimate:
I have a private website and on it are many photoshop pictures for the design of my website (15kb-200kb per picture).
I offer 3D models for binary downloading in zip files (filesize
1 MB - 15 MB each). I need html, php, SSI, mysql, phpmyadmin, .htaccess and cpanel. I have alexa tracking, google ads and few other javascript tracking providers on my site which are loading heavy according to my former hosts opinion. I have few banner ads, popups, flash animations, the usual things on a site that it looks good to gamers.
Gamers are my main audience.
Diskspace used: currently 500 MB.*
Bandwidth: currently 150 GB / month*
Daily unique hits / pages: 15000.*
* Those values might grow in future.
Optional I have a bb forum for responses and questions installed, but I would reduce to HTML only, if it would be needed.
One host kicked me out without warning because of bandwidth / CPU, before I have used the bandwidth limit specified in my hosting plan.
Another one threw me out without notification because of 'abuse of server resources', whereby the reason or script has been not specified.
In both cases I have no clue what I had to do about.
I have only HTML, a MYBB, pictures, javascript, one database
and lots of traffic ofc.
Now I need a host who is willing / able to host that.
It's a private non-profit site, so the costs should be adequate.
I think I'm unable to go dedicated by fees, it should be still shared hosting.
My competition has similar sites, even larger. They host for free or for shared fees. I cannot ask them and didn't find out where they would host.
A domain I have already. Need just the DNS servers to point to a new host.
Currently have the following and pay $134 a month:
OS: CENTOS 4.7 Hardware: AMD HP A64 4200 DC/2GB/250GB SATA Bandwidth: 1500GB Control Panel: cPanel + Fantastico IPs: 5 Useable Location: US
I don't like my host, and would like to move to a similar price point with a new host. I am capable of managing almost all aspects of my server, only the initial configuration of things like PHP sometimes throw me.
I know everyone has to make a living, I get that. But I am having a hard time wrapping my head around why I must pay $15 per month extra to a host for ram upgrades to the dedicated servers I am pricing out. Seems like a nickle and dime thing to me.
I don't understand how people can charge like they do. I suppose if your not on contract that they have to cover their ends but maybe I am just missing the point or looking for too good of a deal.
I am planning on starting a file/image uploading website using a custom script I wrote. I was wondering if anyone who has had experience with these kinds of sites before could give me some info on the bandwidth usage, disk space, ect. And what kind of package I would need. I was thinking of a VPS?
trying to find a spammer on my system, who just sent out and is still sending out 4000+ emails...
i have a centos vps with whm.
looked at exim_mainlog, there's nothign telling. the message body is visible, but the links it points to arent' hosted by me. there is no return address, its sending mail as nobody. phpsuexec is not an option.
I'm trying to transfer a cms from 1 site to another and I don't know the full ftp path.. I'm looking for the "/public_html/username/blank/blank/sitefolder" or something similar.. How do I figure this out?
Response time from my web server (running LAMP) was really slow this evening. mpstat showed nothing, CPU hovered under 5%, mem usage around 25%, iowait minimal. mysql processlist was mostly idle, no slow queries logged. Only other thing I can think of is the connection from the host itself? (Not my local connection as multiple users complained about slow performance.)
Concurrent users was higher than average, but shouldnt this manifest itself in higher CPU util?
My question was, is there something besides network latency I could be looking at? If it is network latency, what's the easiest way for me to confirm this? A simple ping?
I have a VDS with 20GB drive, currently its running at 81% capacity, I have looked around but am of the opinion its not the accounts that are using that much space.
Is there a simple method of finding out whihc folders are using all the space?
I have searched the internet all over , to find a web host that offers :
FREE Domain Mapping Full support of Wordpress << MySQL , PHP Send mail Hot linking enabled Great uptime Decent bandwidth speedy servers NoOo Ads , and the ability to put mine
I'm doing some research into EU data centres and was trying to find a list of good, reliable centres that offer good speeds to, and around, the whole of Europe - especially the UK.
The provider we currently use is LeaseWeb (NL), who have been very good, however, due to their servers being a very specific specification and currently not what we're looking for, we are looking for a good replacement.
I don't think I would like a centre that is located in the UK, whilst it would be better for us, it would not benefit all of our customers - a host somewhere in the middle would do great.
as you can see on my status2k 3306 is not my mysql port number. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I don't remember changing it and my host will not help me figure out what it is.
I have root login and it's running centos and cpanel.
to fire up a P4 in California to target Asia. GBLX or Sprint or AT&T transit is a must. The usage for this server would be a ~7mbps average with 5 hour daily bursts up to 20mbps(comes out to around 2300GB).
PacificRack seemed perfect for my needs, but won't answer sales emails...I've read good things, but i'm worried about signing up.
My budget is around $200, this shouldn't be a problem right?
See attached screencaps for load problem. I'm the only user on the machine and only run gallery2.
First response from support: ######################### Load averaged is calculated by the number of processes that want to run / over how much CPU time they want.
On a multi processor box, you need to read load with a grain of salt.
A load of 4 on a box with 4 cpus is the same as a load of 1 on a box with a single cpu.
A load of 8 is not high enough for me to freak out on a 4 cpu box. I would up the limits of the stats processing in statistics configuration. ########################### I replied:
Did you guys make any changes after my ticket? Load dropped, but the server was responding slowly, and when I clicked on apache status in WHM it said unable to process. I restarted apache via WHM and that error went away. Right now it says:
Server uptime: 59 minutes 34 seconds Total accesses: 187164 - Total Traffic: 65.0 MB CPU Usage: u641.12 s66.88 cu0 cs0 - 19.8% CPU load 52.4 requests/sec - 18.6 kB/second - 364 B/request 150 requests currently being processed, 0 idle servers
The gallery is performing faster since the reset.
Two questions: 1) Right after the reset the server load as reported by WHM jumped from 1 to 10 (where it remains) why?
2) When I see the load spike, say to 30, how can I figure out the cause? The load as reported by WHM might already be divided by four processors because when I put the gallery on a single core server, load jumps to 50+
They replied: ################################## I didn't see any changes to the configuration, I have however made some of my own changes to the configuration at this time to better cycle connections :
Support didn't give me much info, how do I find the cause of the load - looks like httpd - should I switch to a company that can install apache2 w/cpanel 11, which is multithreaded and could make better use of the 4(?) processors? Why did the load jump back up to "normal" after restarting apache?
You use "top", you see an Apache PID using 100% CPU - how do you find out which page it's displaying, basically anything to work out what's causing the problem?
The "top" display is great, but it's only a starting point.
I got a cPanel notification that one of my client's had exceeded their bandwidth and so the site was down.
Checking, I found in AWStats that nearly 400+ MB was web traffic. It looks normal to me. However, AWStats simply grouped them all together under 'Others' without providing clear details.
Is there any other way I can find out what made up that 400+MB traffic?
Sometimes in the Dedicated Hosting Offers section you see people ping the providers IP and can discover other companies they go through, or if they are a reseller. Im wondering how I can go about finding out this information as well?
So I can see this is on device 64768, but how do I get from there to knowing that 64768 is really /dev/sda1, where in this example, I know the file actually is?
Overall, I want to resolve from the filename which device in the output of iostat contains that file - I don't necessarily have to go through stat, but it looks like a promising starting point.
I've just moved to a new dedicated server and need help finding and installing GD graphics and Imagemagick application. Anyone who know about where to find or install these modules please provide me some help.
My box has PHP version 5.2.5 installed. It only need GD graphics or Imagemagick for the photopost gallery to work.
One of my clients sites has just been hacked and im pretty sure its through the hosting and not the scripting, although the host us not being very helpfull.
What I want to do is see what other sites are on the shared account to see if any of them are having problems. As a coincidence the server has 'gone down' not long after being hacked which makes me think the host has pulled it.
I remember years ago (at least I hope I didnt dream it) that a website told me all the other sites on my server, probably by using some kind of reverse lookup on the IP, servers are not my strong point so I dont know.
Is there some kind of resource for finding local data centers? I've tried google and yell and no luck, either there's no data centers in Southampton UK or i'm blind
