I have a site to do for someone but I have just realized they do not have hosting set up.
Every time I have done sites, they already had hosting.
What shall I do? Because they expect me to organize their hosting so I am confused. All I know or can guess is, it is a media site so bandwidth will be high.
I am building a website for a client in Thailand. Normally I recommend all clients to Dreamhost but am not sure what to do for my Thai customer. Billing and customer support should be in thai (eventhough they speak English well enough).
But I am having trouble finding a reputable company in Thailand. What should I do? Where should I turn?
I'm trying to make the best recommendation for a client who has some complicated needs.
They are a university that has opened a public policy and educational office in the national capital.
I do not forsee a substantial amount of traffic being generated on the site - something a simple hosting package from ICDSoft should be able to handle.
However, there are three issues that complicate matters:
1) They may actually have huge spikes in traffic. They anticipate occasional mention in the national TV/radio media and in these cases, they don't want their site to buckle.
2) They do some audio and four video podcasts a month. They have around 50 viewers of each right now (not too substantial) but if they become successful, that number could increase by a lot.
My initial thinking was to try to host these on an outside service - even a free one - like OurMedia.
3) They want to send out email newsletters. Right now they have 850 subscribers for the list for the new location, but as people visit the site, they will sign up more.
I presume they will want to have the email's originate from the same location that the @[url] is to prevent being marked as spam, right? So, if they were to use constantcontact, emails would be from @constantcontact. But if they wanted it to be from their @[url].edu, we would need to send them from the .edu's own SMTP server, right?
I have thought about the 'cloud computing' thing - does that scale up automatically or not?
I also want to know from ICDSoft how much concurrent bandwidth/connections I can get simultaneously (is that the right way to word the question to them?)
What is the best way to transfer the cost of webhosting to a client?
What I'm trying to establish is for instance, if you design a website and offer to set-up the hosting for them for say, an inital 2-year period, how do you go about getting them to pay for the hosting after the 2 years has expired? The same obviously applies to a domain right?
I want to get on my own ded server for free hosting and have it fully managed by the provider e.g. they have the capability to look for spammers/hackers/phishers/ etc while I'll be on my marry way providing free hosting. Is there such a provider? Any recommendations?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy information:
I have my photography site (sfxphoto.com) currently being hosted as my main site (site contents are located inside of the publichtml folder). I also have my photo retouching site (elite-retouch.com) being hosted as a sub-domain under the main site (which has it's own folder inside of the publichtml folder). I'm being hosted through InfluxHost on a Linux server.
My Dilemma:
For the photo retouching site, I want to be able to give my clients their OWN FTP access to a designated potion of the server.
So, lets say my client upload directory is "publichtml/eliteretouch.com/client_ftp". I then want to be able to make a folder for (we'll call him) client_a inside of the "/client_ftp" folder. So the full directory to THAT clients specific folder will be: "publichtml/eliteretouch.com/client_ftp/client_a"
How can I:
1) ...set their specific FTP to open to their directory only?
2) ...ensure that they cannot navigate to other folders on my server?
3) ...make it so that the login information doesn't carry the MAIN site name, but the sub-domain site name instead?
I have a server setup and running shared hosting perfectly. I duplicated one of the plans and just set it to DEDICATED IP. This is for users that will be requiring SSL.
I then went into my panel settings and added in all the additional ip's. It even says in the panel listing "6 dedicated ip's available".
Yet, when I try to re-run the task for provisioning it constantly fails with the message:
Unable to create hosting. Ip address does not exist in client's pool ....
I just got my first dedicated server, and Im wondering what SSH Client people are using?

I know some clients and putty is one of them.
Would like to know you guys opinion which one is safe to use. and why.
I thought Putty was the best but after I tried SSH Explorer I discovered there are better SSH apps
So what is the best SSH client?
You have Putty for windows and i am wondering if there is something simular for mac osx.

I've got cPanel 11.24.5-R37127 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9
CENTOS 4.7 i686 standard on server
A hosted client suddenly can't log in to her cpanel. I can login just fine with her user/pass and another gal can too. But she can't. She says it just keeps asking for the password over and over.
I had her clear her cache and cookies, and reboot her pc, but that did no good at all.
Might this be a server issue or a browser issue?
I like to know is there any open source mail client that i can install for my site (e.g. mail.xxx.com) so i can access my email which is created using cpanel.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI got a problem where mine is stuck acquiring an IP. I have a 64bit OS so I have to use Vmware 32bit os to use the program and my firewall is setup to be open for that particular VM but still it cant grab an IP. Ive left it enabled for around 30 mins it doesn't time out or stop or error. Someone else uses it who is in another location and was in the system yesterday so I'm not sure if she had any issues but said she had no problem getting in so it must be my setup.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy company runs an extremely successful ecommerce website but we are currently unhappy with our current provider for reasons I will not list here. We are looking to move to a carrier neutral location (possible switch and data because it is in the same building) or other options are Equinix and?.
The problem is going from one provider and a /29 to trying to balance two or three providers. No one is going to do bgp with someone only using three ips. We have 2 cabinets with 40 servers (60u total) but most everything is nat'd.
What options are available? Management wants 99.999% uptime (yes i know unrealistic) but downtime is lost $$$ when 100% of sales come from the web. They are willing to pay to keep downtime at a minimum. Multiple data centers around the country is planned for later in 2008 or early 2009. Server cost is not the problem but making the website and back end databases work in a multiple data center environment is the problem.
Any suggestions? Is Internap a possibility? During my searches here at WHT, I seem to see either Equinix, Server Central, or SteadFast mentioned as the favorites. Pricing looks fine at Server Central and it looks like they may have their own network. Steadfast pricing is cheaper but the amount of outages in the outage forum scares me.

i am using tomcat server and am running a web application. I am trying to capture the clients ipaddress who ever are accessing my server. i used the method request.getRemoteAddr() .but i see always 127.0.0.1 instead of the clients ip address.i tried accessing my server from different machines having different ip address but my logs show me 127.0.0.1.
i guess something is wrong with my tomcat configuration.
I just had a client whose hosting account was automatically suspended due to him not paying the hosting bill. He opened up a ticket and asked why his site is suspended. I informed him that he didn't pay the bill and the system suspended it automatically. I told him that the system generated e-mails as well and he said he didn't get them while I looked in WHCMS, it said it DID get sent to him. Client said his website was DDOS'd because it used 3 GB of BW in one month and i told him there was no DDOS attack. The kind of site he had (100+ users online at one time, vBulletin forum), it was common to use that much.
The client is now saying that he is going to hack attempt the servers to see if they are DDOS Protected or not. Of Course, my servers are protected (WiredTree), so should I be worried?
His quote:
Quote:
I'LL TEST TO SEE IF YOU HAVE DDOS PROTECTION...TIME TO GATHER MY HACKING BUDDYS.
Also, I have notified WiredTree about this just right now.

How to have same functionality for my application also?
I have set up a ftp server for my clients to upload files.
I have setup 2 users, client and administrator.
When a client logs he uploads his files to a folder called upload_files.
But he cannot view files in that folder.
If I log in as administrator I can see all the files and folders.
But I can only delete files uploaded to the upload_files folder.
If the client uploads a folder with files into it, then I cannot delete it since the folder owner is client.
Ex:
/upload_files/image.jpg Can Delete
/upload_files/new_folder/image.jpg Can't Delete
Clearly a hosting company can choose whether to have a client forum or not, but do you think they should have one?

ssh is driving me CRAZY right now... On an almost stock CentOS 5.1 install (inside a Xen VPS, though), I changed sshd to listen on 2222 instead of 22 and restarted sshd.
All of a sudden:
Code:
matt@t60:~$ ssh -p2222 64.191.108.xxx
ssh: connect to host 64.191.108.xxx port 2226: No route to host
I should note that I'm actively logged into that IP in another window, and that it responds to ping. There most certainly is a route. Yes, I've quadruple-checked that I have the right IP. And I use the -p2222 daily to connect to another machine. This is a virgin CentOS install; I just changed the "Port 22" line to "Port 2222" and restarted sshd (/etc/init.d/sshd restart).
I am not behind any sort of firewall, unless CentOS installs one that I don't know about. (I own the physical hardware, not just the virtual machine.)
I figured it had to do with this error in /var/log/secure
Code:
May 31 19:18:39 relay120 sshd[23359]: Server listening on :: port 2222.
May 31 19:18:39 relay120 sshd[23359]: error: Bind to port 2222 on 0.0.0.0 failed
: Address already in use.
So I changed (uncommented) the ListenAddress directive to:
Code:
ListenAddress 64.191.108.xxx
and restarted sshd again.
I’m trying uploading about 40 files of different sizes for a total of 2.5 GB overnight via FTP to a shared hosting provider.

I tried this few times with different FTP clients and different transfer modes but I get the same result.
Does a VPS client need a cpanel license.
Or do the HOST'S give them certain access through the HOSTS cpanel/WHM
