Jul 14, 2007
I am newbie of vps server, never use it before. I am a total shared hosting guy. please help me to move my sites from dreamhost to liquidweb vps.
Ok, i have 2 web sites and 1 blog hosted with dreamhost.
web sites are basicly some html pages with vbulletin board.
blog is using wordpress.
My goal is to move all my stuff to new server, and my visitors wont even notice that I am moving.
Staff @liquidweb already got my vps account set and it ready to go.
Here's what I did, I went to
WHM -> account functions ->Create a New Account.
I filled up form for my blog site, johnqin.com. New account is created. and ftp also ready. I am able to connect ftp now.
now, whats the next step I need to do? how can I copy from dreamhost to my new server?

The data centre which I use, is moving all collacated servers to a brand new data centre next week, which will mean a two hour downtime for each of my servers and customer websites.
At the moment my servers utilise two nameservers on seperate servers and when the move happens all websites will be offline with an ugly error message to any visitors.
Does anyone know a good way to setup a page which would be displayed if the web server was down? I am using MS DNS.
My thoughts so far is
1. Setup a 3rd nameserver which is off site from the data centre.
2. Purcahse web hosting / vps for a month on a seperate hosting company
3. Set it up so that it accepts * to a specific IP address in IIS or apache
4. I create an index.php script which gets the host header value sent i.e. [url]and the page then displays a nice maintenace i.e
"We are sorry joeblogs.com is currently down for maintenace, we will be back online shortly".
I think my main question is do I need to setup a 2nd www record in DNS for each site and how do I ensure the 2nd dns (backup record) only gets used when the first website / server is down.

How can I move my site to a new hosting provider and have no downtime for my customers? (My website, webserver, and MySQL database appear to be online at all times).
I have my domain registered at godaddy.com
I have my current host at ************** with dedicated IP
I have my new host at Cartika with shared IP
The domain at godaddy points to:
ns1.**************.biz
ns2.**************.biz
Can I set up my new Cartika name servers to point to my old site's dedicated IP and set TTL at a very low level, and then change the domain at godaddy to point to the new Cartika nameservers?
This way as the change populates, everything is still pointed at my old hosting site.
Then I move my site over to Cartika, and once everything is tested and working, update the Cartika nameservers to point to the Cartika account?

I've been a reseller for 7-8 years now. Just now getting out of the business.
I've "downsized" so that the only sites I have left are either my own little "experiments" or are sites belonging to local non-profits, where...because of a lack of expertise on their part, I'm basically the webmaster.
One of these sites belongs to my church. The site has been up-and-running for, oh, I think somewhere in the realm of 4-5 years now.
In the past two years, we've seen a large increase in the number of exploit attempts on this site. First, there's the never-ending flood of bots... creating user accounts in the forum software and image gallery software.
Then there are the actual hacks. Once, long ago, it was hacked by a pro-Muslim-extremist group. (But it wasn't alone. A ton of sites all over the net were hacked that day. Hacker through up the same pro-Muslim-extremist page on all of them.)
Then, more recently, somebody exploited a weakness in the image gallery software and uploaded their own little files onto the box. And one of those files was a script that apparently was designed to let them hack away at CPanel, trying to get in.
Anyways, I've been doing my best to keep the third-party software up-to-date. And I've customized some of that code according to recommendations on their websites in a way that "blocks" bots and certain functions that these people might like to use.
But staying viligant sure does take a lot of time and energy.
Tonight, I'm going to uninstall their forums permanently. Nobody's been using them in the past several months anyways. But I sure don't want to uninstall their image gallery software.
I guess I'm wondering if there's some hosting provider out there who maybe specializes in helping provide churches with extra security?

I am trying to figure out a way to move a site from 1 host to another... The problem is that I don't just have a bunch of HTML files to move... I rented a VPS server for the last year, I believe it was CentOS 5 (OS). I setup several things on the server, MYSQL, FFMPEG, ETC...
I am now wanting to move to a dedicated server HOWEVER I DO NOT WANT TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. The site is rather busy and it is important to do the transition as fast as possible.
SO -- I have used Symantec Ghost before to "clone" a computer before. It basically takes an IMAGE of the entire HD and then you can paste/burn that image on a new HD and it makes a PERFECT copy of the original machine.
BUT - I have NO CLUE how to do this over the internet?

Anyone here has a Windows server or VPS with liquidweb?
I saw their ServerSecure for Windows Servers page and was wondering if they actually install something useful to match the claims on that page.

I know there are a few threads that are somewhat similar, so I apologize from that aspect, but since I am still not sure of the best option, I thought I would post my exact requirements and hopefully get some good advice.
We need a Windowss dedicated server, probably in the 8 core/8gig RAM variety for a rather intensive Asp.net/MS SQL site. It is a corporate site that is expected to see heavy usage with fairly heavy DB/reportng related web pages.
The majority of people accessing the site will be connecting from Europe.
We will have little, if any, need for management support of Windows or IIS, we are primarily looking for reliable hardware, with quick hardware repair when failures come, and in a redundant DC to avoid downtime (hardware or internet pipe).
The price difference between rackspace and the others does not concern us, so price while a consideration, is towards the bottom of our list of priorities.
As our users are in Europe, a European DC would probably be ideal, but that is one question I have. How much difference will performance/latency be with an American DC vs. European DC for our European users.
English speaking (native language, preferably) support is a must.
A High powered machine (minimum would be 8 cores x 2ghz + 8 gig ram) is a must (possibly two servers -- possibly a router based load balancing of the two servers).
Fast, reliable/redundant internet pipe. We need a DC that will not be unreliable, wether it is from internet outages due to lack of redundancy, or speed fluctuations due to overselling the bandwidth.
So, basically, I have two main questions, I suppose.
First, since the majority of my users will be in Europe, should I only consider a European DC? How much difference will my European users see/feel if we are in a US DC? What difference does it make if the DC is on the East cost, then say Texas?
Second, with price not being a primary consideration, and needing little or no managed support (besides hardware support), just high power machines in a HIGHLY reliable DC, which are the best companies to go with?

I've been with LayeredTech and my yearly renewal is up. Their pricing went up significantly, so I'm shopping at SoftLayer amongst others. My site gets roughly 700k unique visitors and 1.8 million pageviews. These numbers will likely go up. I run vBulletin and Joomla dbs. I have two identical servers (one has cPanel). They are configured:
Dual Quad Core 5310 Intel XEON's 1.60 GHz-- Dual 73GB SCSI drives - 4GB RAM -- 8GB Cache.
The webserver uses Litespeed as an apache replacement.
Q: They are offering upgrades to either Xeon 5320 or 5335. Does anyone have a recommendation on either?
Q: I've heard that database servers don't necessarily need as much spec wise as webservers. Should I upgrade my webserver? Downgrade the mySQL server?
Unfortunately, I need to make this move today to get the pricing and put the wheels in motion, so I don't get billed by Layered Tech for 1 year of service.

I was just wondering is it possible to move a directory to another server through SSH?
I bought a website a few weeks ago and I have all the files on the server except 30gb of content, now I've tried to put the folder into a tar archive but every time I try it brings up this error:
So I need a way to drag that folder from the old server to my new server through SSH because it will take me ages downloading and uploading all the content.

I'm a programmer at a company, and since I'm the only technical inclined person I have been given the responsibility of a "server" move - even though I'm a bit on the deep end here.
At the moment we have a shared hosting solution were we have our email and an ASP.NET application. We need better performance and thus we are moving to a dedicated server at ServerBeach.
I need to install our app at the dedicated server (that's the easy part), and then I need to setup Exchange Server (hard part) and then also obviously move the domain so it points at the new domain.
I have never ever installed Exchange on a server and I've heard it's a real PITA.
My checklist is this:
Install db
Install app
Make a redirect from the old server place to the new server
Set up Exchange Server 2007
Point the domain to the new place.
I'm the process of reading a 172-page long guide from MS on how to installing Exchange 2007, but I'd be interested in hearing any hints and tips on this.

I got an idea that using r1soft CDP to move server, since it provides restoring data to a different server. But I never used it, not sure if it is doable.
Any one did this before? any requirements (software/hardware) for new server that will be moved in?

I have two dedicated server, and I want move a domain from one to the other.
Although I changed the name server 3 or 4 weeks ago, still some mails hit to old server (this can be checked after POP3 login with IP address of old server).
Most of mail reach to a new server but still some to old.
if this would be propagation problem with ISP or something wrong with DNS set up on the server?

Only just started designing sites for clients as an add-on to promotional work, all of which are on shared servers that clients have organised for themselves, so all we do is Ftp content to the servers when required. However, we now have a client who wants to use video on their site, which, I understand, requires a dedicated server if we do not want to use a video hosting service (is there a video hosting service that does not demand credit when the video is run?).
The move to a dedicated server is a step into the unknown for us. If we have a dedicated server, does this give us the potential to host other client sites on it? What should we be looking for in terms of bandwidth, transfer rates, etc? Can anyone recommend good video streaming software? What are the potential pitfalls?

Is there a way to backup Plesk and all configuration, databases, websites and restore to a new server with new IP's easily?
We want to move a Plesk installation from one host to our local data center where we will install Plesk locally. We are running Plesk on Virtuozzo at the current installation.

to move 14 servers from one facility in the Westin Building to another. IPs are changing too.
Any nuggets of wisdom to share on things that I need to make sure happen for the move to be successful?
Here is my list so far:
- lower TTLs on A records in DNS to 600 seconds at least 24 hours before move.
- prepare to update IPs in config files for each server for networking, firewall, email servers, apache configs andresolv.confs.
- ensure backup MX is ready to handle the load.

A chicken or egg type of problem with potential to escalate into an egg on the face problem.
I have two VPS accounts with PowerVPS, which we need to move to one new VPS account. Problem is I'm not sure how to handle the DNS move or settings to minimise downtime.
Currently the DNS is spread over the two VPS accounts. How do we keep the same DNS names and move to one new VPS without dramas?
PS. Before you say "ask PowerVPS", they don't support DNS config on two VPS accounts.

we're a webdesign company who also sell hosting (white labled). we have over 500 websites hosted with a company (based at telehouse in london - which is a good selling point for us when selling hosting packages). Theyve been really good (reliable servers, good support, good control panel etc...). Theyve also won awards for the reliability of their servers. Unfortunatley, over the past year we've noticed theyve raised their charges by quite a bit and the support has been very poor.
My question is: does anyone reccommend a company we can move all our sites to? this is obviously business critical (not only for us but for all our clients too!), and so we want to be absolutely certain of the company and what they can offer before we move over everything.
We've thought about a dedicated server with 1&1. It would be a fraction of the cost, but I always believe in 'you get what you pay for'. could this be the case here?
