View 5 Repliesive been hearing about this from everyone, do you think in 10 years, thats where everything will be? lots of hardware cost for web hosts going away?

Are there any other known major per hour or whatever utility based providers?
Also, is this the route one should go if they're looking for a cheap dedicated server solution?
Today, The Cloudlayer Instance we are having with Softlayer has faced a major downtime. At the time of writing this post, the service is down (5.30 hour already).
The support staff hasn't provided much information about the reason for downtime.
They say, the power failed in server room #5 for Dallas. The power was restored soon, but i don't see the CloudLayer Instance coming up even after 5 hours.
Having account with Softlayer for more than 2.5 years, i have been very happy with their team and their network, but more than 5 hour downtime and still the support not offering any ETA, is making me think of shifting to some other provider.
I am not much aware of Cloud Computing Instances and how much time they would need to come back online. But, i don't think it should take so much of time.
I am still waiting for the service to be restored. I guess some other members on WHT may have also faced the trouble today.
I noticed some cloud computing service providers, like, amazon, gogrid, etc. are all based on XEN server, is there any provider offers cloud computing on real dedicated server?
another question is, anyone knows the difference between traditional cluster and cloud computing. I did not see big difference based on their own description.
I just heard this story on NPR yesterday discussing cloud computing, how you can use external computers to do super-computer sized tasks without having the hardware in house yourself.
If we host colocated servers, how feasible is it to get our servers into that game?
if you have a dedicated server, is it possible to let anyone become part of your dedi server using a software d/l?
eg: You put an app on your site for users to download,users download and run it, so now their internet connections become part of ur dedicated server, so when people access ur website, some data is downloaded from ur dedi server, and some data and cpu usage is used from the user's net connections who downloaded and are running the app.
Any commercial/open source software like this that lets website visitors become part of ur server?
Is there a way in shell, to find out information on the CPU(s) in the server?
I'm using Centos, on a cPanel server. However, I'm looking for more info than what WHM's "Server Information" provides.
Trying to find out what generation Xeon is in the server, so I can read about it's specs.
I am interesting for VPS but iwant windows 2003 with mssql2005 installed...
is there any company supporting this?
How do you get like for example ROOT of cPanel in a VPS? How would you be able to use it besides like giving permission to use WHM and stuff on accounts. As doesn't remote reboot and such have to happen on the whole server?

Are there different types of backups? Why is it necessary to manually backup a forum database when its done automatically by the server? In terms of assuring the data, what is required and whats a typical procedure, what does it entail, is it manual and if so usually how often, or is it usually automatic?

is it way to protect Reverse IP information ?
I mean someone can't see friend sites in same vps/server.
This is my domain ( godaddy )
[url]
And another domain ( not me )
[url]
Whois for a run when a particular IP it shows the location of the IDC as information.
I wonder what IDC Servers rent that information to the Whois IP can be changed so not knowing where it is being rented.
in cpanel the account information (like email address, space, bandwidth, etc..) stored on /var/cpanel/users/<username>.
I want to know where is stored user account informstion on PLESK?
I was checking my server information today on WHM panel and this is what I saw:
Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz
Processor #1 speed: 1596.000 MHz
Processor #1 cache size: 4096 KB
Processor #2 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #2 Name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz
Processor #2 speed: 2660.000 MHz
Processor #2 cache size: 4096 KB
Why is the Processor #1 speed labeled as 1.6 ghz? Processor #2 speed never goes down no matter how high the load is. Could it be the reason that my server can't handle 4 websites with a cumulative total of 20k unique hits per day?
We are planning for a clustering archirecture for our mail servers,The basic idea is put all of mailservers behind a load balancer which will monitor and distribute the n/w load as server load and forward the requests accordingly can u suggest any good hardware loadbalancer which could give us 'server load balancing' as well as n/w load balacing.
I would also like to know if it is a good idea to go for a software load balancer(like linux heartbeat) or to h/w load balancer.
Someone knows how to block viewing "information schema" for unprivileged users? When accessed, it causes abnormal load to server.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI just want an expert opinion if what I am doing should be considered to be secure (or if there is a more secure way to do what I am doing). I made our hotel's online reservation system and it stores the guests' credit card information.
The card is encrypted using AES (MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128) and the key that is used to encrypt/decrypt must be entered from the client side in order to log in. It is not stored on the server. So that my employees do not have to enter it every time they want to log in, it is stored in a cookie on their computer or entered manually if the cookie is deleted. When logged in, I have the key stored in a _SESSION variable in a subdirectory of that account's home directory and have the following attributes (for example):

Does this seem like a secure enough way to store/encrypt/decrypt credit card data?

I read Ubuntu Server now comes with cloud capabilities and RHEL has had clustering for a long time. How do you data center gurus set up clouds?
Surely, if I'm doing this question, I don't need the cloud, but as all the people are talking about it, I think in it.
We host simple websites, with about 10GB/bandwicht/month as much usage. Actually we have 5 low budget dedicated servers instead to have 1 power server with all in, with that we distribute the possibilities of hardware fails.
We don't have any VPS, I personally prefer host in a physical server, we can put the 5 servers in 5 VPS into one big server, but if HD fails, all goes down.
So, now with cloud, I think it's the same that VPS, hardware could fails as always, and the cloud can complicate the resolution of a problem, so my final question, it's cloud for me? anything I'm missing?
Thanks as always for your replies! Anyway, it's nice to have a new technologie in the table to discuss about it!
When creating cloud hosting based-on VPS, I assume each VPS added will need to be on different machines? Which one will have better performance in this case
- 1VPS with 2GB RAM, 1GHz CPU
- 2VPS with 1GB RAM and 512MHz CPU each. 2 VPS is setup on the same server. One runs Apache, one runs mySQL.
Of course, using for the same website.
