im in the UK and i am look for a webhost (preferably a reseller) on windows.
i want maximum control over the server (no PLESK).
which control panel would i be looking for?
do webhosts allow the installation of isapi filters in IIS?
my price range would be between £40-50 ($100) p/m
sql server necessary!
I have a (dedicated) server out of control. It is managed by a 3rd party company who has never been able to get the spam and server load under control. Loads average over 5! and there is no activity in top other than sendmail and mailscanner (with Ensim).
I turned off mailscanner and sendmail while I typed this and server load went to .08.
I'm going to switch (dedicated) servers to a new provider (for reasons above plus a few others) which will include managed service from the server provider as well.
There are only a few programs that need to run on this server. VBulletin is the main concern.
I want to lock down all mail access. I want vbulletin to be able to send outgoing email as part of its administration and as part of its member notifications.
I don't want ANYONE OUTSIDE THE SERVER to be able to send mail through this server.
One idea I have had is to use DNS to assign all MX records of every domain on the machine to the free gmail service.
I have one domain on this machine (and important domain) that gets thousands and thousands of spam. I assigned its' MX records to NO-IP.com who filters and forwards email to me. That has worked - but server load never budged.
I am using VPS for my general hosting, but have considered putting together a machine for an email server to host some email accounts that I currently don't have on my VPS accounts and would want tighter security than VPS offers (hosting company/support having access to VPS).
While I have gotten more comfortable with linux during the last 5 months I have been hosting on a VPS, I still prefer a control panel type interface. I am using WHM/Cpanel currently. I know that I cannot get a Cpanel license for the type of server I want to put together, so is there either a linux server distribution with a good gui interface, including email setup and admin, or is there a control panel other than cpanel that is either free or inexpensive to use on a dedicated email server.
I will house this email server on my 6mb/768k DSL line at home, or at work on a 4xT1 (6MBs).
does anyone have any suggestions on selecting a control panel? ive seen some products around $300 that appear to be just enough for what i need.
how long is the typical setup time for a control panel?
I am in the process of getting my new colo setup going. My initial colo is on a per server basis so I don't need a switch right away. I am however going to add a switch so I can have my servers connected privately to a backup server in the same rack. On this backup server, what is the best type of "system/control panel" to use to setup the backup accounts for each of my servers? I could just create accounts manually via the Linux command line, but curious if there is a good way to do this (Webmin maybe?). Of course this server will not be accessible from the internet, it will be on the "private" network and accessible from the other servers.
How are those with a similar setup doing this?
when I was in vps except cpanel and whm I had another control panel for vps , Don't remember what was that I could turn my server off and on for dedicated server except for cpanel and whm what else do I need?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm used to setting up the nameserver using a control panel (directadmin)
but how do you do it on a server without a control panel?
So far I figured that you just
set up 2 ip addresses in your registrar to use as nameservers
and then
edit /etc/named.conf and put the path to the zone file and of course set up the zone file /var/named/nameofzonefile.db
then service named restart
are these steps correct? am I missing anything?
a good method to have processes controlled in the resources they use, in a shared cpanel environment?
For example, it appears that the cpanel backup (compressed) made the load skyrocket to beyond 60% cpu and 95% memory usage today, and this server is beefy to begin with.
I want some system to kill processes immediately if they exceed X amount of resources or kill processes that spiral out of control (X amount of processes from same user).
I'd like to be alerted of this action as well.
How can I set this up?
My host and I discussed over a month ago the possibility of adding on another server so that I can use one for MySQL and the other for web, and eventually as my sites expand add a third one so that two balance the loads and the one will be dedicated just for MySQL.
Well, it's been a month now and I have had a server dedicated for MySQL and the other one dedicated for web set up. A month has gone by and my host and I are having problems setting it up - I have not been able to use the new server and have already had to pay the bill when I have not been able to use it for its purpose!
The old server was supposed to act as the MySQL while the new server was supposed to be for web. We are having so many problems trying to set this up, well at least my host is, and I am becoming more and more frustrated as the days go on because I am paying for the new server that I can't even use because it's not set up properly.
I am using DirectAdmin control panel and linking them is a pain in the butt. I linked my host to this article, but I don't think he's implementing what is being instructed to do:
[url]
The new server is still not working properly with the MySQL server and I have no idea what to do here. I have already paid for a month's service for no reason and now I am starting to feel robbed because this process is taking so long.
I am willing to switch control panels if it will speed up the process. Does anybody know of any control panels that will be better suited for my need? I'd ideally like to simply manage both servers in one control panel - under one license - and manage each server's services and most importantly the MySQL and it's databases on the dedicated server for MySQL.
I installed Centos4.7, now i am installing the ISPCongif2 but at the last step after configuring the ssl, i was asked to enter my host and domain, but it gives me error the url is not reachable.
The domain is not hosted anywhere but i created an entry for it in the /etc/hosts
[root@serv ~]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.112.41 serv.mynewdomain.com serv
192.168.112.41 mynewdomain.com
Do i have to make anychanges on any configuration files?
Here are the steps i did to setup this server:
1- I purchased an ip 64.xx.xxx.xxx from my ISP provider.
2- I installed centos4.7 on my PC.
3- Installed the webmin.
4- On the router i pointed the 64.xx.xxx.xxx to 192.168.112.41
what are the steps please i need to follow to get this server running?
billing system to control the traffic between router and servers. I thing I need a billing system installed on server with webgui like those used by ISPs but I need it working with paypal and other payment gateways.
The other solution is to use radius server but I will need it working with payment gateways. Can you recommend me a good radiuns server with many options?

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe have a dedicated server with domains already setup and everything.
The guy who used to run it for us has left and it appears it was all done via SSH and command line - we don't have that level of skills.
Is there a way which we can:
A) install a Control Panel and administer ourselves
B) Migrate all the domains to a new dedicated server with an existing control panel.
We may soon get into the unmanaged arena. Recently there has been debates on whether an unmanaged server should come with anything other than a bare OS, even if ordered with a control panel. I'd like to get a feel for what you as a customer expect from an unmanaged host when ordering a server with control panel.

I would like to ask you what software I need to control VPS - stop it when it expires the owner's account and he must pay agan to use it.
Software must work with VMware, Solaris conteiners (xVM server), Virtuozzo and etc.
What software for billing the VPS can you recommend me?
Is there a second way to control the access to the VPSs? Can I install hardware firewall before the servers witch host VPSs and install billing software on that firewall so when the owner don't pay for the VPS the firewall cuts the access to the VPS.
in that case what software I have to use.
I have VmWare VPS hosting, I just started and I have few questions. How can I see how much bandwidth each VPS consumes? How can I know if someone is doing illegal activities like spam, file sharing, IRC, etc.? I ask this because I give complete control over VPS to my customers so I don't have access to it, only thing I do is backup of whole VPS image on spare HDD, and network/hardware troubleshooting. So how to control whats happening on my VPS-es?

Xen control panel because I just got a server so I can try out using Xen instead of OpenVZ. Most of the control panel's that I've seen only support OpenVZ at this time. Would anyone be able to suggest a good panel that I could try out or look at?
I know HyperVM is one but can it be trusted as of now? I know that they have people working on it and there are no major hacks right now (at least not yet) but would it be suggested to use it?
I am tired of lxlabs. Bugs have been submitted, especially with Windows VPS, but lxhelp just ignores. If he could not fix, or doesn't have time to fix, he just ignores our requests without any reply.
So, I am looking for another control panel for Xen. I will need it to run on CentOS mostly. And able to create Windows VPS. I only know dtc, but it's built for Debian.
I seem to have the opposite problem of what most people complain about... I'm using some custom-built PHP scripts, the output of which is not getting cached. I want the output cached, because it doesn't change often.
If it's relevant, I'm using ob_start() to serve up a GZIP-compressed page.
I start off with a header("Cache-Control: maxage=3600, must-revalidate"). Yes, it's first, and yes, it's showing up properly in the browser.
However, requesting the page again returns an HTTP 200, not the 304 I'm expecting. It's pulling down the whole page again. It's not changing in between requests, and I'm simply visiting the URL again, not hitting Refresh. (Although it really shouldn't matter.)
I am running vps business and i would like to have your guys advice of which control panel to offer to all om my customers.
Most people leave my services only because they need to have simple control panel for their vps. So im looking for any commercial control panel which i can provide with all of my vps servers. Also It should not use more than 30Mb of ram and and shold not be a cpu hog.
Right now iam looking at ServerCP (as they have a deal when you can buy 100 for 69 dollars) but it needs about 128Mb of ram to function and its just too much.
