I would like to set up a new site in English but the subject matter is in another country. Is it better to host my site in England or the States because I understand Google sorts out queries by IP address. Is this correct and will I be penalized for setting up someplace else?
View 6 RepliesWe have one server don't want to touch the php on - how can we upgrade our PPA cluster and leave the one server alone - or at least exclude it from upgrading PHP/mySQL/Apache?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a VPS and when I signed up I was told by the provider that the server was based in a UK datacentre. However, I've just done a search on the IP address for my VPS and it comes up as 'The IP address is assigned to France'.
Does this mean the server's actually located in France?
I just obtained a root server which is running plesk 8.0.1. At present the server runs:
php 5.0
mysql 4
apache 2
FC2
I want to upgrade to at least php 5.2, and MySQL 5. However I'm affraid this may break Plesk? I heard MySQL 5 is only supported by Pleask 8.1 or above?
If I go ahead with this decision, is there anything I should be aware of? Can anyone advise of any procedure I should follow to make things simple and minimise conflicts such as Plesk integration etc.
Also a slightly different note I have come accross atomicrocketturtle. Can anyone explain what this is about?
I hope some of you are using Google Apps and can help me to find an answer to the following question:
I own two different and independent domain names (e.g. domain1.com and domain2.com).
I'd like to use the Google Apps (Standard, free edition) with them to create two different and totally independent mailboxes (e.g. abc@domain1.com and xyz@domain2.com).
But how many Google accounts I need to do this? Can I manage two (or more) independent and fully functional domains using one Google account?
P.S.
Help section contains descriptions of aliases for multiple domains, which are just pointers or shortcuts, but not a fully functional mailboxes, so this solution isn't something I'm looking for.
Just a question about hosting your site in the same country where your main targeted visitors is located. It is my belief that I should host my sites in the same country where I the targeted visitors are. Am I correct in saying this??
So..
US Focus Site should be hosted in the US
Canadian Focus Site should be hosted in Canada
And UK Focus Site would be hosted in the UK??????
If I create an html file via SSH (nano) in the /www/ directory of a website, save it and then chown it to the correct user, why will I get a 403 (Permission Denied) error unless I chmod the file to 755?
I think I've changed something system-wide that I'm not sure how to revert, and it seems to be impacting other services (such as mail, cron and stats generation).
I thought it was Linux Environment Security, and then I reverted the changes it made, but this made no effect on the problems I'm having.
Is location of the server important?
Does it influence the loading speed of the forum and SE rankings?
I've noticed that several VPS providers note the actual location of the servers.
Does the location really matter?
I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.
However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices
Obtain Demo License
Buy License
Activate Pre-Purchased License
I choose ‘Activate Pre-Purchased License’ pop in the Serial number and complete the registration then…
---------------------------------------------------------
Urchin Licensing Center -- Error!
An error has occured during your transaction, please use the back button and correct the problem. The specific error message is:
• Unable to generate a license. Some possible reasons:
Your serial code is currently active <<< How do I disable it and use it on another server?
---------------------------------------------------------
So all I want to do is deactivate the serial and reactivate it on another server.
Does anyone have experience with this or a similar problem or have a solution to this problem. Any help be most appriciated.
Or even a Contact Number so that i can get some one over the phone!
I ordered a dedicated server with the datacenter located in Los Angeles, California.
When I check all the IPs of my dedicated server, I see they are located in New York.
Maybe a stupid question, but does it mean that my Dedicated server is located in New York?
I know that support is based in Los Angeles, so does it mean that they are doing remote support of my server? And not In site?
Where can I find a list of servers in Israel and near by countries?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am based in the UK and ideally I want my server based in the UK too. But the best host I've found so far seems to be American.
If most of my users are from the UK, then I don't want the latency to be too high. Or it so insignificant that I don't need to worry?
I was looking at [url] but if someone knows a similar deal in the UK I'd like to hear about it!
I'm considering moving my dedicated server to my own server and getting it co-located. My question, what hardware, apart from the server, do I need to provide?
Someone mentioned switches, KVM (?), reboot port, network cable... it's all Greek to me.
detailed heads-up so I can purchase everything at once? I was thinking of getting everything at Dell, but recommendations are also welcome.
My present dedicated server setup is as follows:
AMD Opteron 2x2.0Ghz
2GB ECC Memory
250GB Hard Drive
2000GB Bandwidth
5 IP Addresses
WHM 11.1.0 cPanel 11.4.6-R13580
CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0
I also welcome your server suggestions.
If this has already been posted elsewhere, I apologize, I couldn't find it.
I intend to subscribe to a VPS and I'm trying to decide whether to go with a company in the US or in my home country, Singapore (which is on the other side of the globe).
Price wise, US web hosting companies beat their Singapore counterparts hands down. The prices in Singapore are easily 2.5 times that of the US (for equivalent specs).
But in terms of server round trip times, Singapore is much faster for local users. (99% of my users will be based in Singapore.) A ping to a US server takes an average of 380ms, compared to 13ms for a ping to a Singapore server (from Singapore).
In terms of reliability, both are the same.
MY QUESTIONS:
1. Is the server round trip time really the main bottleneck (from the time the user clicks a button to the time she gets a response)? Or should I not be worried about this?
2. What is the recommended hosting option (US or Singapore), taking into consideration just two factors: price and speed?
we have a server where we run sites and emails, but now we are going to buy a offsite email solution (based on ms exchange) in order to have our emails running when our web server is down.
But at the momment we run our own dns at our webserver using our own nameservers, in order that our emails keep working during a webserver downtime, we need to host our dns server at another location. So the offsite email company that is based in usa, said to us that they can host our dns at their datacenter in usa.
So i will have a configuration like this:
Webserver >> location: Spain
Mail Server >> location: USA
DNS Server >> location: USA
note: 99% of my website visitors came from Spain
So my question is:
Does it matters in terms of speed/performance having my dns server located in usa?
So in a simple way, will my website will it be fast with the dns located in spain, or having it in usa is exactly the same in terms of speed/performance?
I am almost ready to choose my host (as reseller) but I would like to know how is possible to determinate the importance of server location ?
In fact am located in Switzerland (middle Europe) and my targeted customer are especially located in my Switzerland, France and Belgium. In Europe is difficult to find nice host reason why I take a look for US hosting. It is a lot important to choose a host near my country ? It is just a story of access time to a website or something else ? Actually I have some website hosted in France and US but I don't see really a big big difference when a site load...It is a story of maybe 1 or 2 seconds more...and sometime the site hosted in France (and so more near to my location) take little more time to load..
I'm trying to make an accurate list of dedicated server company's with their locations. I haven't been able to find one with a good list, so I figured we could compile one here.
Please post the locations of dedicated server company's, state weather their a reseller and of what company.
This is a quick compilation from myself, if there's any incorrect information please let me know.

I plan on doing a small, well maybe not too small project and I was wondering if you guys can help me out. I am familiar with some server companies but what I need is strategic locations across the US.
Only dedicated server providers and NOT resellers.
The breakdown:
US EAST
-NYC
-NJ
-Washington D.C.
US WEST
-Seattle
-LA
-SD
-SF
US MIDWEST
-TX
-CH
US SOUTH
-Miami
-Georgia
I know a few, but I will be looking at this list, your suggestions and buying servers from the companies. Please also list your personal experiences with said companies. I will not take Aug 2008 registration with 1 Post count seriously. This is a serious project and I have some money to spend. Let's just say enough to cover the expenditures and then some.
A client has told me that his brother wants to put the company email on a remote server through Google. Currently the email goes via the hosting company.
He has asked me to send his brother the username and password for "updating domain information" so he can demonstrate what he is suggesting.
I am not really sure what he wants (as I always set up email via the hosting company and am not familiar with any other way): domain details or hosting company details with the email passwords etc? If the latter, I am not too happy about giving him access to all the website files that I am responsible for.
Does anyone know what he is talking about?

WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.

This is serious, please do not find the thread as SPAM, waste of time, or useless. I'm doing my research while at it.
Current Provider: ThePlanet
CPU: Dual Core 3.2GHz (seeking 2.8GHz Dual Core or better)
Memory: 1GB (seeking 1GB or more or better; unknown technical specs)
Harddrives: 400GB Harddrive (seeking 400GB or more or better)
Cost: ~$320/month (seeking at this price or cheaper)
Bandwidth: 1500GB @ 100Mbps (seeking more than 1500GB, but @ 100Mbps)
So help me find providers other than ThePlanet (good hosting, but not good enough to help advance the webhosting business through over-selling). I am seeking for specs at, around, or close to the ones I gave above (monthly fee also). Reliability is a very important factor!
i am looking for dns hosting with redirect to a server in Europe or usa based on location.
View 2 Replies View Relatedfor a SMTP server / hints at how it might be done to accomodate the following :
One single email will be sent. If it doesn't get sent on the first try by one server, another server at another location will attempt the connection and will send out the email then.
Is there a prebuilt solution that anyone knows that will help with these things ? If not, do you know of any ways that this might be possible to be done - even if you don't know the exact details of how it should be done - any help in finding out something like this would help .
Note :
Linux / Windows / FreeBSD / Solaris is fine. So whatever OS it is, it's fine by me.
There is probably a simple explanation for this, but in our Google Analytics stats one of the most popular pages is

Can anyone explain exactly what this is?
