Sometimes in the Dedicated Hosting Offers section you see people ping the providers IP and can discover other companies they go through, or if they are a reseller. Im wondering how I can go about finding out this information as well?
View 5 RepliesI have a hardware firewall on my server that does not allow pinging or trace routes from anyone outside the vpn.
So, pinging my server or a website on it will return a "request time out" for each try even though the websites come up fine and connectivity is fine.
I'm told this is for enhanced security but it's also my understanding that search engines and some programs will ping a site before attempting to crawl it or index a page on it. I guess this saves time and bandwidth for the search engine bot.
Is this true? and is there a security risk for opening my firewall to allow pinging?
server outside of US has this ping bellow
Is this OK? or painful for users to reach it?[url]
Just wondering if anyone can offer any thoughts on this. I'm currently in the process of setting up an Exchange frontend server which will (hopefully) be connected to two different connectivity providers.
On the two NIC's we have for example:
ISP1 - 1.1.1.1/24 with gateway 1.1.1.2
ISP2 - 2.2.2.1/24 with gateway 2.2.2.2
My assumption was that when a connection to the internet is required, providing the metric is set correctly, it would route from the NIC connected to ISP1. However if a connection came in from ISP2, it would note the interface that the connection came in on and reply on that interface (SMTP traffic), however I'm told this isn't right.
I have a small network at my colo provider.

I want to setup static routes on my servers so that my colo provider won't bill me for traffic among my servers.
I use FreeBSD 6 on my servers. I read the FreeBSD handbook on this and it looks like i should do this:
route add -net 0.0.0/24 0.0.0.3
where 0.0.0/24 is the C class I have from my provider and 0.0.0.3 is the IP address of my server (one of them/any of them).
However, this route appears to already exist as i get this error when running that route command:
route: writing to routing socket: File exists
add net 0.0.0: gateway 0.0.0.3: route already in table
Do I need to use a non-routeable ip block (eg 192.168.x.x) for this? Can I use "real"/routeable ips? Does FreeBSD take care of this for me automatically?
I really wanna know if you've seen any other trace routes similar to this?
Wanna know the catch? Look what I put into CMD...

View 5 Replies View RelatedAttached is a (badly) drawn diagram of two sites, connected by a vpn.
The site to the left, is network 10.0.0.0/24 which runs a linux server as the router for the network.
The site to the right, is network 10.1.0.0/24 which runs a windows 2003 server as the router for the network.
Now, my problem is, the clients behind the windows 2003 server can ping any machine on the first network because i setup a static route to route all traffic to 10.0.0.0/24 over the vpn interface.
now, my problem is, only the linux server can ping any machine on the windows 2003 network, any client behind the linux server cant seem to route over the interface.
I have the following route on the linux server: .....
trying to find a spammer on my system, who just sent out and is still sending out 4000+ emails...
i have a centos vps with whm.
looked at exim_mainlog, there's nothign telling. the message body is visible, but the links it points to arent' hosted by me. there is no return address, its sending mail as nobody. phpsuexec is not an option.
Anyone got any special programs or tools they use to find out what specific account and domain is abusing server resources?
I am running WHM/cPanel latest build along with the latest Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
I were already at two paid hosts and had no good experience.
Then I have tried a few freehosts and saw a lot of rubbish.
I searched and searched, chatted to support chats of hosts - but no luck yet!
then I came here and now I ask you to find a right (US) hosting service...
First I tell you what site I have, that you can truly estimate:
I have a private website and on it are many photoshop pictures for the design of my website (15kb-200kb per picture).
I offer 3D models for binary downloading in zip files (filesize
1 MB - 15 MB each). I need html, php, SSI, mysql, phpmyadmin, .htaccess and cpanel. I have alexa tracking, google ads and few other javascript tracking providers on my site which are loading heavy according to my former hosts opinion. I have few banner ads, popups, flash animations, the usual things on a site that it looks good to gamers.
Gamers are my main audience.
Diskspace used: currently 500 MB.*
Bandwidth: currently 150 GB / month*
Daily unique hits / pages: 15000.*
* Those values might grow in future.
Optional I have a bb forum for responses and questions installed, but I would reduce to HTML only, if it would be needed.
One host kicked me out without warning because of bandwidth / CPU, before I have used the bandwidth limit specified in my hosting plan.
Another one threw me out without notification because of 'abuse of server resources', whereby the reason or script has been not specified.
In both cases I have no clue what I had to do about.
I have only HTML, a MYBB, pictures, javascript, one database
and lots of traffic ofc.
Now I need a host who is willing / able to host that.
It's a private non-profit site, so the costs should be adequate.
I think I'm unable to go dedicated by fees, it should be still shared hosting.
My competition has similar sites, even larger. They host for free or for shared fees. I cannot ask them and didn't find out where they would host.
A domain I have already. Need just the DNS servers to point to a new host.

View 2 Replies View RelatedResponse time from my web server (running LAMP) was really slow this evening. mpstat showed nothing, CPU hovered under 5%, mem usage around 25%, iowait minimal. mysql processlist was mostly idle, no slow queries logged. Only other thing I can think of is the connection from the host itself? (Not my local connection as multiple users complained about slow performance.)
Concurrent users was higher than average, but shouldnt this manifest itself in higher CPU util?
My question was, is there something besides network latency I could be looking at? If it is network latency, what's the easiest way for me to confirm this? A simple ping?
I have a VDS with 20GB drive, currently its running at 81% capacity, I have looked around but am of the opinion its not the accounts that are using that much space.
Is there a simple method of finding out whihc folders are using all the space?

2- is it possible to find out a web site is in which type of server (Resseller ? Dedicated ? VPS ? or x?)
I have searched the internet all over , to find a web host that offers :
FREE Domain Mapping
Full support of Wordpress << MySQL , PHP Send mail
Hot linking enabled

I'm doing some research into EU data centres and was trying to find a list of good, reliable centres that offer good speeds to, and around, the whole of Europe - especially the UK.
The provider we currently use is LeaseWeb (NL), who have been very good, however, due to their servers being a very specific specification and currently not what we're looking for, we are looking for a good replacement.
I don't think I would like a centre that is located in the UK, whilst it would be better for us, it would not benefit all of our customers - a host somewhere in the middle would do great.
Currently have the following and pay $134 a month:
OS: CENTOS 4.7
Hardware: AMD HP A64 4200 DC/2GB/250GB SATA
Bandwidth: 1500GB
Control Panel: cPanel + Fantastico
IPs: 5 Useable
Location: US
I don't like my host, and would like to move to a similar price point with a new host. I am capable of managing almost all aspects of my server, only the initial configuration of things like PHP sometimes throw me.
This is my second time finding for a shared hosting. I am with ASMALLORANGE now, not that happy with it. I will post a review later on.
I need to host 3 sites, A static website; two wordpress.500mb space;
10gb bandwidth;
5 or more each for add-on domains; subdomain; email; sql etc.
Prefer to pay around $7USD. A buck more is alright.
I have a site that is currently hosted in Australia and loads relatively quickly there , but it is very slow in Uk and France.
Eli kindly set up a trial at blurstorm but I am unhapy with the way it loads in australia which is its primary audience.
how to get my speeds up with the site? ATM there is a 2.8 mb swf file that loads in about 5 sec in aus but about 20 in europe.
Blurstorm is faster in europe(france)but unacceptably slow in Aus.
Is blurstorm considered fast servers on their reseller plans? Or do I need to upgrade my expenditure to get what I want?
as you can see on my status2k 3306 is not my mysql port number. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I don't remember changing it and my host will not help me figure out what it is.
I have root login and it's running centos and cpanel.
to fire up a P4 in California to target Asia. GBLX or Sprint or AT&T transit is a must. The usage for this server would be a ~7mbps average with 5 hour daily bursts up to 20mbps(comes out to around 2300GB).
PacificRack seemed perfect for my needs, but won't answer sales emails...I've read good things, but i'm worried about signing up.
My budget is around $200, this shouldn't be a problem right?
See attached screencaps for load problem. I'm the only user on the machine and only run gallery2.
First response from support:
#########################
Load averaged is calculated by the number of processes that want to run / over how much CPU time they want.
On a multi processor box, you need to read load with a grain of salt.
A load of 4 on a box with 4 cpus is the same as a load of 1 on a box with a single cpu.
A load of 8 is not high enough for me to freak out on a 4 cpu box. I would up the limits of the stats processing in statistics configuration.
###########################
I replied:
Did you guys make any changes after my ticket? Load dropped, but the server was responding slowly, and when I clicked on apache status in WHM it said unable to process. I restarted apache via WHM and that error went away. Right now it says:
Server uptime: 59 minutes 34 seconds
Total accesses: 187164 - Total Traffic: 65.0 MB
CPU Usage: u641.12 s66.88 cu0 cs0 - 19.8% CPU load
52.4 requests/sec - 18.6 kB/second - 364 B/request
150 requests currently being processed, 0 idle servers
The gallery is performing faster since the reset.
Two questions:
1) Right after the reset the server load as reported by WHM jumped from 1 to 10 (where it remains) why?
2) When I see the load spike, say to 30, how can I figure out the cause? The load as reported by WHM might already be divided by four processors because when I put the gallery on a single core server, load jumps to 50+
They replied:

Support didn't give me much info, how do I find the cause of the load - looks like httpd - should I switch to a company that can install apache2 w/cpanel 11, which is multithreaded and could make better use of the 4(?) processors? Why did the load jump back up to "normal" after restarting apache?
You use "top", you see an Apache PID using 100% CPU - how do you find out which page it's displaying, basically anything to work out what's causing the problem?
The "top" display is great, but it's only a starting point.
I got a cPanel notification that one of my client's had exceeded their bandwidth and so the site was down.
Checking, I found in AWStats that nearly 400+ MB was web traffic. It looks normal to me. However, AWStats simply grouped them all together under 'Others' without providing clear details.
Is there any other way I can find out what made up that 400+MB traffic?

Using SSH on a linux server?
I know everyone has to make a living, I get that. But I am having a hard time wrapping my head around why I must pay $15 per month extra to a host for ram upgrades to the dedicated servers I am pricing out. Seems like a nickle and dime thing to me.
I don't understand how people can charge like they do. I suppose if your not on contract that they have to cover their ends but maybe I am just missing the point or looking for too good of a deal.
