Why is the SBS cheaper?
I need to change the IP to a server dedicated Windows with Parallels Plesk installed and 200 domain's hosting.
Do I have to change the IP in the dns zone one at a time? I think it's possible to do it by reconfigurator (remote desktop).
I'm hosting wmv,wma,mp3 files, streaming of video can be done with Windows hosting, but my website script is with php.
Do you suggest Windows Server 2008 hosting or redhat linux hosting?
My customer has two domains, one of it is a alias-domain.
He wants to set this alias to his primary domain, so how can i change it?
I tried it with deleting the alias, but i can't find the "button" for changing the primary domain?
Have I to delete the complete abonnement and reinstall all files and databases?
I know, that I have to change some paths in files, but it would be easier, than to dump everything and upload again...
In Tools & Settings --> IP Adresses I got two IP Adresses:
192.168.1.10 (primary, bold)
89.104.83.139
Since the first IP adress is just the internal IP adress, I'd like to remove it, but I get the message that it's not allowed because it would be the primary IP.
Plesk has no option to just switch the primary IP adress, so what's the way to do it with plesk12?
On our instance (Plesk 12 / Debian) I am logged out within 1 or 2 minutes quite often while working on config of the primary website (admin access). The session idle time is set to the 30 min default, and the problem isn't to do with changing IP addresses - the multiple sessions visible all have the same IP address.
This happens so constantly it is difficult do any real work. Where is the logic of session creation and termination? What do we need to look at to deal with this problem? We have root access.
Up until a week ago we had some troubles with package dependencies on our dedicated server running on Ubuntu 14.04.1. Plesk was totally out of reach, displaying 502 Bad Gateway pages and some other weird error on login_up.php3.
I fixed the dependencies by removing a lot of packages (including Plesk) and finally managed to reinstall Plesk using the autoinstaller, then repaired it using "/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh" (IIRC this whole bootstrapper folder was not present before reinstallation).
Now, after restoring our data from a backup pretty much everything works except for the subdomains. They all redirect to the primary domain's vhost (307 Redirect) for some reason.
"/var/log/apache2/access.log" shows the following after issuing a HTTP request to any subdomain:
Code:
<ip> - - [23/Jan/2015:23:15:31 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 307 244 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0"
<ip> - - [23/Jan/2015:23:15:31 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 13397 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0"
I have tried enabling and disabling nginx, it did not work. Then I just kept it disabled because it makes our forum think that everyone has the server's IP (because of the reverse proxy thing I assume).
Oh, and I should say: using HTTPS anywhere just gets me a 502 Bad Gateway error.
a speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license...
whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers..
So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform
Windows... or Linux
I'm currently hosting some websites using XAMPP/Apache/MySQL (obviously with heavily edited configs) on Windows. The largest site has around 40,000 forum members and grows extensively every day.
Would I see better benefits buying a Linux/*nix server for web hosting needs? What flavour of Linux/*nix would be best suited out of the following options:
CentOS 4 (32 bit)
CentOS 4 (64 bit)
CentOS 5 (32 bit)
CentOS 5 (64 bit)
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch/Stable (32 bit)
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch/Stable (64 bit)
Fedora Core 6 (32 bit)
Fedora Release 7 (32bit)
FreeBSD 6.2 (32 bit)
Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake (32 bit)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - 5 (32 bit)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - 5 (64 bit)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - ES 4 (32 bit)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - ES 4 (64 bit)
Also, would using a control panel such as cPanel (I'd say Plesk, but very bad experience with it on Windows) be beneficial?
The above would be going on a single process Quad Core with 4GB RAM.
I want to know the difference between windows hosting and linux hosting

View 13 Replies View RelatedThis one may be a bit of a stretch, but does anyone know of a shared host who gives you both Windows and Linux hosting with one account? It is possible, as the company myhosting.com seems to offer it, and I think (mt) MediaTemple has some betas with it.
Update: Apparently MyHosting.com does it by giving you a primarily windows account with a linux sub-domain. That would work for me, but I'd rather a more known provider.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhich is better and what are the main differences between these 2 CPUs?
Intel Dual Xeon 2.8GHz Processor
and
Intel Xeon 3360 2.8 GHz Quad Core Processor
I currently run a couple of forum-heavy websites on a Pentium D950 (3.4 GHz 800FSB Dual Core 2x2mb cache). The sites use most resources for mysql and php (via apache), plus some more for email and serving images via tux.
So now I'm looking for an upgrade. I've grabbed the following off the Softlayer website:
Quote:
Server CPU Speed CPU MHz CPU Cache Price
Intel Xeon 5050 2 x 3.00GHz 667MHz 2 x 2MB - HT $179
Intel Xeon 5130 2 x 2.00GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $199
Intel Xeon 5140 2 x 2.33GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $239
Intel Xeon 5160 2 x 3.00GHz 1333MHz 1 x 4MB $279
Intel Xeon 5310 4 x 1.60GHz 1066MHz 1 x 8MB $219
Intel Xeon 5320 4 x 1.86GHz 1066MHz 1 x 8MB $259
Now what do I make of this? First of all, I'm having a hard time relating the CPU speed to the clock speed. The 5050 seems alright to me, but I've read somewhere that Dempseys are already regarded as outdated, so obviously I'm underestimating the importance of clock speed? (Do I get the performance by basically multiplying the clock speed with the CPU speed?) Also, what's up with the quad core? Is that something worth considering for the purpose mentioned above, or will it be wasted on the four cores? What about the lower CPU speed of the quad core - will the faster dual core actually get the same or even more work done?
Or am I looking at the wrong brides and should rather run and get myself two cheapo servers with php on one and mysql on the other? (Or go with one of the above and just take two disks?)
my server is centos with whm/cpanel,

which one i should edit?
and what are the difference of them?
differences between a router, hub and a switch.
I have set up a file/print server using samba on my home network that just uses a simple 4 port linksys router, so I'm relatively familiar with routers.
Its my understanding that a hub, is kind of like a router but w/o a "to modem" spot. So you would use a hub if you just wanted to connect some computers to have a LAN party or something, right? Where there'd be no internet connection. Is this correct?
As far as switches, I get the feeling they are like routers, only better? Because data centers and companies mostly use switches, not routers? Or am I way off? What exactly is different between a switch and a router.
As a supplamental question- I will be starting college next fall, and a friend of mine said that dorm students are not supposed to use routers, but rather switches. Any idea why this would be the case?
And also, along the lines of college networks. Say I wanted to take my server with me to my dorm, how would that work? I know this depends on the university, but how would such a large network like that work- would each dorm have its own public IP address? Or would the dorm have one public IP, then each room have an internal IP? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've really only worked with simple home networking
I have a customer billing system.
I would like crons to run at midnight so that the invoices are on schedule and have the right dates etc.

I have set my software up to plus 14 hrs time difference also.
What should I set my crons to?
I have a problem with Parallels Plesk v12.0
Hosting type on website became "No web hosting."
When I try to change hosting type to "Forwarding" it changes ok.
If I change hosting type to "Website hosting", I get message "The hosting type for "website name" was successfully changed.", but hosting plan still stay "No web hosting"....
I got a new server and need to move my primary and secondary DNS. I use cpanel.
My idea was too:
1. Shut off my secondary DNS ns2. on my old server. (which I don't know how to do.) I was able to delete it from the nameserver Ip's link in whm. It deleted it but the server still has the IP assigned to it.
2. Set up my secondary dns on the new server. (cpanel wont let me because it says it already exists so I'm kind of stuck on this one too.)
3. Once the secondary is set up go to my registar and change the IP address.
4. move the sites, and turn off the primary ns server forcing everything to go to the new server or secondary dns.
5. move the primary..
I've been having this issue for almost a week now and it's driving me crazy.
I made an IP switch from one peer to another. Anyways, I setup the gateway, primary IP, subnet, etc.
Once the box was rebooted and came up with the new IPs I noted that cPanel was whining that the license was incorrect and noted that instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.98 it was recognizing xxx.xxx.xxx.99
I just switched the license over and it was done. But I'm having some major email issues as some remote hosts does not receive/send emails to my server as the hostname cannot be found since they also recognize the secondary IP .99 and not primary .98 as it should be.
I've checked the entire settings again but just can't get around it. An ipconfig shows that the primary IP is in fact .98 which keeps me puzzled:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:45:5C:0D:90

Anyone using this for VPS? Good or Bad?
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy experience with them:
Signed up for my 1st VPS recently, after Primary VPS had initial problems setting up my CPanel VPS, they offered me 'free full management ' for 2 months and Free Security Installation. Nice i thought. On the 16th June, experienced around 12 hours of downtime, had not moved my main sites over to them at that time so didn't kick up any fuss.
After moving my main sites over to them, soon after and they all working ok, on Wednesday 20th June night, I requested this free security installation they offered and was told APF and BFD had been installed some time in the night.
Checking sites next morning (thursday 21st - coincidently same time everyone else was having problems) saw no sites were available, was getting 'server not found'. So started 'critical support ticket':
Quote:
Hello,
I went onto the internet this morning to find my websites/IP addresses down and my control panel inaccessible. It has now been 40 minutes and its still the same. God knows how long it may have down before i checked. I tried live support twice and both times i have been cut off/ no response. Please can this problem with my VPS and your live support system be looked at.
VPS ID: *****.vm
Dedicated IP(s): ***.**.***.***, ***.**.***.***, ***.**.***.***
User : *****
password : *****
This resulted in 20 hours of no sites for me. Same thing in the ticket, I would say, 'My IP addresses and sites are still down' and i would get response back, 'Your VPS is back up and running fine'. Great help that was!
14 hours after my 'critical' support ticket and not getting anywhere, finally speaking to someone in live support, they figured it was the firewall they had installed earlier was blocking access to everything. They excepted no responsibility for the time sites were offline or any loss of earnings saying it was my fault for not configuring the firewall.
Response was:
Quote:
The issue is that you did not request any ports to be open or any applications to be allowed through
I thought ok, maybe it was my fault, i'm new to VPS and didnt know i had to request ports to be open and no-one told/asked me either (but isnt that what managed hosting is for - to make them deal with everything).
Anyway, Regarding why it took them 14 hours to figure out the problem, Victor responded:
Quote:
You were not able to state your exact issue, so all we were able to go on wa guess work. So obviously it will take some time to figure out your issue if you do not tell us what it is exactly.
14 hours to figure it out why my IP's and sites were down because my original ticket was vague!?!
As someone new to VPS's i would think that this is there fault. But Victor clearly makes out that they are not to blame and it is all my fault! Everything is up and working fine now and I was at first surprised with the high levels of service and support but after experience, its its like banging your head against a brick wall chatting with these guys!
I have the following three servers, which I'll call A, B, and C:
Server A - Web hosting server that uses cPanel on CentOS.
Server B - Free subdomain service (similar to afraid.org but on a much smaller scale), using PowerDNS with a MySQL database backend, on Debian.
Server C - Backup DNS server for the cPanel web hosting server, using the free cPanel "DNS Only" on CentOS.
Originally I had just A and B set up (they're two separate VPSes on the one dedicated server, I own the dedi and some friends and I have VPSes on it). Now I've got a VPS at a different data centre, and am using that for C.
To have a secondary DNS server for server B, I believe I can use MySQL replication to replicate the PowerDNS database to another server, then have a PowerDNS install on that server. My question is, is it possible to have server C as a backup DNS server for both server A (cPanel server) and server B (PowerDNS server)? ie. is there a way to check both PowerDNS and the cPanel BIND9 for domains (have them on different ports, and make one query the other if the lookup fails, perhaps)? Or perhaps use both the MySQL backend and the bind backend simultaneously in PowerDNS, and replace bind with PowerDNS (although I guess cPanel wouldn't like this)?
