Lower Ttl On Domain
Feb 14, 2009I'm hosting some domains on a whm setup. One of the domains has outgrown the shared hosting setup, so I'm moving it to it's own vps. I want to limit the downtime, and I understand I should lower the TTL on the domain.
The registrar is Network Solutions and the nameservers are pointing to the shared host (which is on a whm/cpanel setup). How can I lower the ttl on this domain? Do I have to move the domain to a more advanced DNS service to achieve this, or is this something I can do within whm?
Lower CPU Mhz In WHM, Server Information
Jan 31, 2008I 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?
Lower MySQL CPU Usage

Will RAM Lower Load During Backups
Jun 18, 2007On a Cpanel server, lightly loaded, but some fairly large sites (~3GB stored) loads get pretty high during CP backups (D/W/M to secondary drive, compression on). It looks like RAM is showing mostly used during this time (977,555 out of 1,026,348), and iowait is ~50, sometimes quite a bit higher at ~80 on the larger accounts. Not pegged at that amount, but fairly steady. This box only has 1GB RAM, so I'm thinking adding another Gig would alleviate this issue.

Too Many DNS (Domain Name Server) Requests. How To Make It Lower ?
May 8, 2007I host my DNS with DNSmadeeasy.com , I noticed that I have daily more than 350.000 DNS requests for main domain, This domains got about 80.000 uniqes/day, so this is strange how can there be 350.000 DNS requests/day. Seems that I'll go over the quota because of this.
The TTL for all domains is set to 86400.
Is there a way to discover how its possible ? And also is there a way to do something to make this number lower (DNS requests)
SSH Unzip Command Changes Files To Lower Case
Oct 4, 2008I have a small issue that's probably easy to answer. If I upload a zip file to a Linux server, and run this command via SSH:
Code:
unzip -a name_of_zip.zip
Although it does unzip the directories as expected, it makes all file names and folders lowercase. This is a problem when trying to install software that relies on case sensitive names.
Does anyone know what command tells the server to retain the file names and not alter them?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGood Resources For EC2
Jun 25, 2009After speaking to a colleague about some major benefits of EC2 for on-demand hosting I've been very interested in learning more.
I've spent the past 2 evenings trolling through Amazon Doc's and blog posts and have a fair assessment about how things work but I'm at a stopping point.
There doesn't seem to be a dedicated EC2 area here on Sitepoint and the Amazon EC2 forums seem geared more towards 'advanced' users.
Are there any reliable communities that are more for the beginner?
I've got a LAMP webserver Instance running on EC2 but I'm very unclear about how to login and begin adding files and managing the data. I'm sure it's pretty simple but the documentation pretty much loses me when they start discussing Security Groups and public/private keys.
I'm not much of a server admin but have grown pretty comfortable on our FC4 dedicated boxes that we currently host on.
Allow Exim More Resources
Mar 12, 2008I am sending out an email blast to about 30000 addresses when I leave. Because this is the down-time for our site, is it possible to temporarily give Exim more resources to help process? Or would this even be beneficial?
If both questions answer yes, please let me know where I should look for instructions on doing this.

SQL Taking Up Too Much Resources
May 23, 2008One of my servers keep overloading due to a SQL process.
The process is:
/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/zeus1.forcium.net.pid --skip-external-locking --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
It takes up pretty much 90-95% of the cpu and memory at times if I do not kill the process. But even after I kill the process it comes back and immediately hogs up cpu load again causing it to go into loads of 8.00 or higher ( I have 8cpus ).

View 4 Replies View RelatedVPS Resources - Normal Or Not
Jun 7, 2007We've just started to use a VPS, and so far no problems I've been looking at the resources and they seem a little high considering it's pretty much out of the box, and I've only setup 4 sites which aren't even public yet. The only thing I've changed is the php.ini to increase the memory limit to 32mb. My main concern is that these sites don't suffer when they go live.
In the Plesk control panel the memory says:
3.8 GB of 3.8 GB used; 47.1 MB available
The 47.1mb is pretty much average, although I've seen it go as low as 115mb.
In Virtuozzo the system usage (resource: capacity) is usually around 60-75%
Both of these seem a little high, but I'm not sure if these readings are for the whole physical server, or just my portion of it.
Also in the (Virtuozzo) QoS alerts I've had quite a few Yellow zone, black zone and one red zone reports, at around 5am - quite possibly the quietest time on a server which isn't hosting any live sites yet. These have both been on the numproc and the privvmpages services (the red zone was one the privvmpages). Is there anything I should be looking at or is this fairly normal operation for a VPS? I have nightly backups scheduled for around 1am. These were originally set for 4am, but reports were showing that they were running out of memory, so Ive now staggered the times of these to see if that helps. I've haven't changed anything resource-wise other than the php, so I thought it would be good to go from the start, but maybe it needs some fine tuning.

Resources For A Download Center
Jun 11, 2009I wanted to know a rough estimation of resources needed for a download server with these specifications..
1- No cPanel needed
2- Unmanaged plan
3- VPS or Dedicated
4- Space needed -- not much . maybe maximum 20 giga
5- Direct links with no software to upload or download all is done through FTP and HTTP browsing
6- Bandwidth / month more than 300 giga and less than 600 giga ( can compromise ) .
7- maximum simultaneous downloads will be 10 - 20 individuals on the same moment
8- Files on server wont exceed 30 mega per file

Server Resources Keep Draining
May 6, 2009I am running CPanel/WHM as well as the WHMSonic plugin for a Shoutcast service. Now the thing is that my RAM limit is 4GB, but my RAM usage is always at around 3.5GB and above.
I guess it's mainly due to WHMSonic, so is there any way i could lower this RAM as on multiple occasions the server has locked up and shutdown,rebooted or had to be rebooted.
On top of that, the server load is around 10.00 or above.
Is there a resource controlling script which i could install?
Less Resources And Cheap VPS. Does It Worth For You
Nov 2, 2009I have seen some requests for cheap Virtual Private Servers. By saying "cheap" I mean under $20/month... However the those who posted the requests meant under $10/month...
I don't think that a virtual machine or container would cost $10 or less, but I've seen some providers to offer virtual servers with a very small amount of resources - a couple gigs of space, not to much bandwidth and 64 MB or 128 MB RAM - and to price them around 10 bucks per month.
Although I'd never go this way I'm curious to read what do you thin about such a marketing policy. Do you think that offering a VPS which can not even have a control panel because it doesn't have enough resources is a good practice? (I realize that there are different scenarios and some people probably don't need hosting automation software, but at the same time need a low cost virtual machine...)

How To Give All Resources To MySQL
Aug 16, 2008I got a dedicated server running, which is administered by DirectAdmin, which I mainly use as a mysql server. Now my question would be, what would I do to give all resources possible to mySQL? I mean I donīt wanna take down directadmin and setup mySQL only, so I want to keep directadmin but give almost all server resources to mySQL?
What I did so far is adjust all tables, do indexes and stuff.
The background is that at certain times I face server loads of 40 caused by many external servers of mine querying the mySQL database on the server I am talking about.
So while the load is mainly below 0.1 it sometimes goes up to 40. So this peak I wanna slow down a little bit by giving all resources to mySQL. To say that beforehand splitting the queries from external servers is not an option - they all need to be done at the same time.
So I would really be interested and thankful in what you would advice to do to optimize the mySQL service?
BTW system is running on debian.
