I have got 2 low budget dedicated servers from poundhost,I would like to find a way to limit their total monthly bandwith to 5TB so that I dont get past this limit even if the server stays for 1 day with blocked traffic or else! The one server is cent os 5 and the other is windows server.
I'm already dealing with this, however I feel you guys should know about the company InLabz (inlabz.com).
This isn't a thread attacking the company, however I feel that when a company totally rips a layout (down to the banners on the rotator and even the links!) this community should know about it.
Basically, they've copied every single aspect of SimplexWebs (simplexwebs.com) - every single minor detail. Therefore, I wouldn't recommended this company. I'm trying to find an email address, or another means of contact, so that I'm able to contact them regarding this issue.
I'm trying to connect to the server via SFTP but when I check the box to do that in Total Commanders settings box it says I need the OpenSSL dll's. I downloaded the must current file from [url] but I can't find any dll files in it and I'm unsure how to proceed.
My website suspended by a hosting service provider they told me that I try to send some spamming emails, the details about my website it's very small with 282 users (before suspended) I used phpBB version 2 and send news to users with phpBB send mail function. Frequency of sending is not more than 2 times a month and not every month.
I've already contacted the hosting provider they didn't help anything just say "Hold on" for 1 day a ago.
I have a vps at VPSVille, which I use for tunneling out onto the internet (behind a nazi firewall). Unfortunately, my vps keeps getting disabled because I cross the "20GB of traffic per month" allowed to any vps for tunneling - even though I have 300 GBs of bandwidth.
I'm now looking for another cheap vps host ($20/mo or less) that will let me utilize all the bandwidth I paid for.
I am just playing around with a server of mine, and I wanted to know is there anyway to limit the amount of inodes ( files and folders) a user can have? I am using cpanel/whm. Or is there a way I can receive an " alert" once a user has reached the specified limit?
I've recently hired a new server with the aim of offering FTP backups.
I have Plesk CP but I don't want to use that to create the accounts for these users - i want to use the Plesk license for webhosting customers.
My box is running CentOS with ProFTPd.
The problem i'm having, is locking down SSH access to the Backup customers - if i add an account using "useradd", it is enabled in ProFTPd as I want, and I have set ProFTPd to only allow access to their home dir. However, the users can still log in via SSH and have full access to the box. Ideally, I want to be able to remove these users from SSH access, or if that's not easily possible, not allow them to "cd" above their home dir.
I know it's possible to add their usernames to the SSHd config file under Deny, but is there a more elegant solution (bearing in mind i'm planning to have quite a few of these users)?
bandwidth limiting on my home network, to some specified pc's, as they are taking up to much download bandwidth. Im leaning towards windows more but i am still unsure, would any one be able to guide me or give me a few tips on what type of program will do this, what operating system and maybe some tutorials if anyone knows any good ones?
On an cPanel + RHEL 5.3 box at WHM - Tweak Settings, I activated "The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited)" and set that value to "300".
But, it seems that this limit is only if the user is sending using webmail or an email client, right now a joomla website is sending much more than 300 mails per hour, but it's using php to send the mails.
My question, how can I limit emails per hour on each domain while sending from php?
We have Linux and windows shared hosting on our dedicated servers using Plesk are we are interested in putting in connection limits and bandwidth limiting in place but not sure what to use - we don't want to set them to be too restrictive but we don't want it to be free reign either.
I was wondering if anyone else was doing this, and if so what their levels were. Additionally, does anyone use anything for IIS 6 on 2003 that supports bandwidth throttling of dynamic content? I know there are things for IIS 7 in 2008 but that doesn't help much
Is it possible to setup ftp accounts that have the ability for the users to view files on the server and upload their own files, but not download anything from the server? If so, how would this be done, if not, then as a 2nd option, do most hosting companies provide the option to disallow downloads on an ftp account if you need to do so, but allow uploads?
I've been searching a while for a box that I can throw in front of my servers that will basically look at inbound connections and if there are more than X amount of connections from IP:XXX it will block it for X minutes.
I thought a standard load balancer would do it, but according to Barracuda, their load balancers don't. They do DDOS prevention, but that's based on packet inspection. What I'm looking for is something that will block legitimate traffic when there's just been too much in a short amount of time. Basically I've got people using autosurfing programs and refreshers on my site and I'm getting tired of analyzing log files to find them.
I am interested in setup user activity limits to avoid peaks on the server load, I have readen a lot about PAM and limits.conf but still have no idea on how set this limits. Most of the examples are similar to this page http://www.seifried.org/lasg/users/ but they are still confusing to me
>> I would like to setup rules like this:
Customers may not use more than 2% CPU daily, 3% memory daily, run more than 10 simultaneous processes per user, allow any process to run for longer than 30 CPU seconds, run any process that consumes more than 20% of available CPU at any time, or run any process that consumes more than 16 MB of memory.
I may have this wrong, but I think it's possible. I have a friend who wants to run a process on one of my servers, now I don't particularly 'care' about this server, it's just used for a couple of unimportant things so I'm okay with him running it, but I don't want the hassle of sorting out things if he decides to delete everything, so I'm hoping it's possible to limit his directory.
For example, I have the folder "people" in the top most directory, inside that I have "arthur", I want to limit the ssh user "arthur" to the folder "arthur", I don't want him to be able to cd ../../ and delete stuff, is this possible?
how can we limit the maximum number of e-mails that can be sent by a domain in PLesk. We are facing issues where out server IP is getting blocked by some e-mail providers for bulk mailing.
I've been unable to limit the size of a process to keep it from hosing a system. I've tried the following methods:
- RLimitMEM for just Apache (although I'd like this to apply to any process in the system) - ulimit - PAM limits.conf (/etc/security/limits.conf)
In theory, either ulimit or limits.conf should do the trick, but when I start up Apache and run a test script to build up some memory, it doesn't get killed off. Is there any way to do what I want? I'll even take kernel modification as an option. We're running CentOS 4.4, but I don't have a problem with swapping out for another kernel.
I have a VPS with 256MB ram. i want to limit mysql memory access. suppose i want that mysql should not use more than 128MB ram. is this possible? if yes how?
