I'm having the very same problems as everyone else, and after a quick google it seems I'm not alone. Servage just keep fogging me off on the support over there dreadful MySql performance.
Getting the same old rubbish as everyone else, we will move you to different server, we will fix your database etc. When will servage stop blaming there customers and step-up admit there is a problem and fix it? The support is fast but there just monkeys repating the same as the last.
I have been with them for 3+ years now, and this will be the last. Just put a request in for a full refund of this years fee's. The 1st year maybe the 2nd there service was excellent, since then its got worse and to a point now where its dam write criminal to charge people for what they offer.
Do your self a favour people stay clear of this company it has wasted alot of my time.
I recently bought a small company from somebody i knew, the server they had was with GeekRack. So we moved everything over to our name and everything was fine for the first week or so, i then ordered a new server from them so i could run shoutcast from however they installed the wrong OS and refused to refund us or pay for the reload fee. So i quickly cancelled that server.
After that issue things started going downhill, nobody would answer our tickets about moving the server away from them so we could get it from our reseller account with BurstNet. As soon as we mentioned we were moving they just basically terminated all contact with us. They failed to mention two different abuse tickets to us which ended with the data centre disconnecting the server on two separate occasions, both times the server was down for more than 2 days. The server was also going down every night and when we asked them to take a look they never answered.
We finally got the server moved away from GeekRack and now the server is running fine and have had no problems. So this is just a word of warning to anybody that is considering GeekRack as there provider.
Can someone tell me how to clear the history of a UNIX user? For example, when logged in as a certain user I can press UP to see the last commands that were used. How can I get rid of them?
I'm about to launch a site that i think will see a gradual growth in userbase, so i want a host that could scale my site as the it grows. I had earlier chosen crucial web host (esp their split dedicated plan) but i think after a point even that would limit the number of users and resources used per second (and they have no upgrade after that).
I would like to hear your suggestions on hosts who have plans from VPS ( i think i'll start from VPS itself and not shared just to be safe) to semi-dedicated or dedicated.
The upgrade should be hassle free, that is my main requirement. And also if there is a sudden income of traffic from other sites the host should NOT suspend my account but should charge only for the overages.
In a rush to purchase more vps servers, since my fiance and myself were building an IRC network, we decided to purchase a vps with SolarVPS. We figured things were going to take a week to start since she purchased it. A week later and the eCheck cleared, and we figured it'd take a day or two for setup. A week after that, we were starting to wonder why we hadn't received any of the information for the VPS. Starting to ponder where our service is, my fiance phoned their 800 number support and spoke with an associate. The support associate notified us that we slipped into the old billing system and purchased the vps before they switched over, and instead of disabling the billing system for a temporary amount of time, swapped to the new one and dumped the old one.
After a little prodding via the phone, they said they would push up our renewal date since they took longer than expected. He said within 15 minutes, we should receive an email with the vps information. 2 hours later we saw sight of the email.
Within the first and only month with SolarVPS, we experienced two network outages. Each time, we sufficed to use the online support system via the website, and notified them of the outage. They reiterated what we told them, which was the fact of the vps being offline network-wise. However, the agent each time told us there was nothing he could do about it, and failed to answer questions after the fact.
Towards the end of the month, we were quite dissatisfied with the service that SolarVPS has provided to us, and as such, we decided we were not going to renew the service. As we had not contracted into a year or otherwise, we moved everything off of the server. After the next payment was overdue, we received an invoice requiring us to pay them ASAP.
We emailed them directly back, asking them to cancel the vps, as in the TOS, it described that cancellation requests could be sent via email. We received an email back from them informing us that they would not cancel the vps unless a payment for the next month was received. Informing us that there was a 10 day period we had to have canceled in beforehand, we were fine with paying the next month, but wished to cancel either way. They also informed us that we were required to use the cancellation form provided via link, as they would ignore any other form of cancellation request, regardless of the statements in the TOS.
We asked for the information to login to the billing panel to pay the last outstanding bill, so we could cancel the vps. In return, they asked for full name, address, last paypal transaction id, and all ips assigned to reset the password. This is the point where we stand.
SolarVPS has been an absolute hair-tearing experience, and would give me receding hairline if I had actually torn my hair out. I would personally steer clear from them, and maybe look into a company like BuyAVPS. Always read the TOS, and make sure its loose enough to give you some movement room in case you don't like the service. Either way, We're still waiting for SolarVPS to help us cancel our VPS.
i'm running a windows 2003 server to host a number of websites.
unfortunatly it looks like i didn't correctly protect the SMTP mail server
i checked the 'badmail' folder in the inetpub and found there were upwards of 250,000 bounced mails there... some spammers were obviously having a field day with my smtp server...
i've now changed the settings so that realys are only accepted from 127.0.0.1 and anonymous access is now disallowed.
my problem is that when i start up the SMTP server again spam is continuing to be sent out because the Queue folder is apparently full of junk waiting to go out...
i've tried entering this folder but the computer hangs, presumably because there are so many there...
i've tried deleting and renaming the folder but even with the smtp server turned off i get an 'Access Denied' error...
what can i do to flush or empty the queue folder ?
I have been seeing so many exim mail queue on server. I would like to clear for every one hour throuh crontab entry. So that I have used following script to run.
Due to spammer activity, I find myself with 20,000 messages in the queue and I'd really like to remove those emails from the queue as it is causing delays to good messages.
Can you give me the SSH command to remove messages by subject line please?
I have already used exim -bpru|grep frozen|awk {'print $3'}|xargs exim -Mrm and exiqgrep -i -f '<>' | xargs exim -Mrm and exim -bpu |awk '/nobody/ {print $3} ' |xargs exim -Mrm
But there are still 11,000 messages left in the queue. The spammer messages have the following subject lines:

Why does the WHM panel send me my private key and passphrase for my SSL certificate to my inbox when I generate a CSR? Um... isn't that a bit insecure?
I purchased a Rapid SSL cert from NameCheap who then needed a Certificate Signature Request(CSR) which is generated from WHM.
After generating the CSR, WHM sent me an email that is literally titled 'SSL RSA PRIVATE KEY for *.<domain_removed>.com'
The email not only contains the ----- RSA PRIVATE KEY----- but also my 'challenge password' .
is this supposed to happen? and why on earth would my private key and passphrase be sent via unencrypted email? The only think I can think of is that the WHM panel feature is being used to generate the CSR and is sending me a self-signed cert private key , which I'm not going to use (i'm only going to use the CSR) Even if thats the case, I think it still shouldn't happen, its too confusing for newbies like me and I could just end up using the same passphrase for my actual certificate.
Here are the steps I followed: 1. purchased a RapidSSL from namecheap 2. Clicked 'Activate' in namecheap's SSL dashboard which then asks me for a CSR.
To get the CSR, per Site5's wiki: 1.logged into WHM 2. clicked 'Generate a SSL Certificate and Signing Request' 3. completed the 'create a new cert' form which among other things, asks me for the 'Email address the cert will be sent to'. For all the fields, see the site5 wiki 4. click Create
Webmail using, in the "Inbox" I chose all the mail and accidentally pressed the "clear folder" letters deleted or i am can be restored? I need to return the letter....
I just recently logged into my user email account "the one which was created by the name of the user of the account" and found it had 8000 emails but none are showing up in either horde or squirrelmail. How can i delete all these emails without deleting the other bla@domain.com emails? Is there a way just to clear a specific email account in cpanel or a command line way. I think if i just delete the mail folder it would kill all the emails of that account and I just want to 'reset' that one.
If I attempt to remove even a small message from the mail queue, using the panel interface, the screen grays slightly but nothing happens. If I refresh the screen after several minutes, I'll sometimes get the following message:
"This operation is taking too long. Check the results in a few minutes."
Switching to Postfix eliminated the problem. But with Postfix, all of my Mailman lists (scores of them) broke, so I had to switch back -- and the problem reappeared.
How can I configure "Backup manager" to clear checkbox "During the backup process, website visitors will be redirected to the custom error document page with the search engine friendly 503 HTTP code" for default (for subscribers, customers, etc.)
