I am having some problem with the DNS Zone setting on my VPS. I can't seem to load my page here :
[url]
This domain should resolves to this NameServers:
ns1.etrendstudio.com
ns2.etrendstudio.com
The files are hosted on the servers here:
[url]
if there is a problem in setting up the DNS Zone?
we have come to a point where we would like to operate our own data center and move on from doing collocation.
Could anyone that have any experience in setting up their own data center help me out in terms of what kind of equipment needed?
From my qucik research, I would be needing the following:
1. Air Conditioning System - I am thinking of using Liebert System 3
2. UPS System, still not sure what type that suits our needs
3. Diesel Generators, still not sue what type that suits our needs
The server room would be roughly 1,200 square feet. How many Liebert System 3 would I need, how many tons, chilled water or compressors? We have roughly 200 servers at the moment, but would like to accomodate the room to up to 1,000 servers.
What kind of UPS system would you recommend us using?
What kind of Diesel Generators would you recommend us using?
How much is the total cost - roughly to fund this setup?
Are there other main points that I missed besides, AC, UPS, and Diesel Generatros? I mean aside security, network equipments itself, etc. The main basic things.
When i try setting time zone to GMT, it do not worked.

I have a server in USA which I have leased to a customer. The customer is running an application in the server and for that he needs the timezone to be set IST in the server. If he does the same, then will it affect the working of the server. What can be the ill-effects of the same. The customer is running Windows 2003 server.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a quick question about some DNS zones I'm trying to set up for a customer. I figured I would try asking the community before bugging our top-level admins (they have enough to do already, and I'd rather learn this myself).
We have a customer for whom we are managing their DNS. The site is actually hosted elsewhere, but the DNS originates on our server.
They have another site that is hosted with us, and they would like to set up a subdomain redirect from the remotely-hosted site to the site hosted on our hardware. So, the situation looks something like this:
example.com : hosted elsewhere (primary IP not ours), DNS with us
FooSite.example.com : redirect this to www.FooSite.com
I could edit httpd.conf, but it would be easiest (for firewall reasons at the moment) if I could enter in the proper zones via WHM zone editor. I'll be able to see the results either way. I tried setting up the 'A' and 'CNAME' records, and I got as far as directing the 'A' records for the subdomain to the local IP, but I'm not sure how to finish it off (assuming I'm going down the right path). My own knowledge level in this regard is somewhere between novice and intermediate (which is why I have partners and admins ).
I created all the accounts I need, I uploaded all the files these accounts need but I'm still getting a problem with the DNS redirection... when I asked to my server provider they told me this:
According to the information provided, you have not yet completed setup of your forward DNS. We do not provide server DNS administration services with the exception of updating your reverse PTR records since we do not allow delegation of our client's reverse DNS. You will need to contact your system's administrator in order to have the issues regarding server setup addressed.
And when I'm scanning one of the domains pointing to this DNS the report says this:
"WARNING. The parent servers (I checked with a0.org.afilias-nst.info.) are not providing glue for all your nameservers. This means that they are supplying the NS records (host.example.com), but not supplying the A records (192.0.2.53), which can cause slightly slower connections, and may cause incompatibilities with some non-RFC-compliant programs. This is perfectly acceptable behavior per the RFCs. This will usually occur if your DNS servers are not in the same TLD as your domain (for example, a DNS server of "ns1.example.org" for the domain "example.com"). In this case, you can speed up the connections slightly by having NS records that are in the same TLD as your domain."
"ERROR. One or more of your DNS servers are missing A records (per NS records that may be cached). As a result, they cannot be used. The problem hostnames are:
ns2.mbhostve.com. has no A record. ns1.mbhostve.com. has no A record."
"A timeout occurred getting the NS records from your nameservers! None of your nameservers responded fast enough. They are probably down or unreachable. I can't continue since your nameservers aren't responding. If you have a Watchguard Firebox, it's due to a bug in their DNS Proxy, which must be disabled (31 Jul 2006 UPDATE: several years after being informed of this, there is a rumor that there is a fix that allows the Watchguard DNS proxy to work)."

I'm using CPANEL but I don't know how to fix the problem here,
I am with powervps for more than 2 years, but in the last month all the good service and the uptime from the past has disappeared.
I have 3 VPS accounts, all in diferents servers, and in this last month all three accounts were having lot of problemas, specially one of them, that was more than 15 hours down, and now is down again, and it looks like they take a while to be up again...
I ask to the support about this problems, but i donīt get any convincing answer. I think that they have a big problem with the stability of his systems, and i donīt know why.
I arrive to this forum looking for the experiences of other costumers of powervps this days to see if I am the person with worse luck of the world or if it is a global problem of powervps.
Anyone got the email?
The increase is about 23-30 dollars per server...
Time to move....
I have two VPS's.
Main VPS is 1152mb SLM ram running only a relatively small vBulletin community. My goal is to keep this as fast as possible, which is why I overbought on the VPS and recently moved my couple other low volume sites (and some higher volume image hosting) + some email acccounts on to a 512mb SLM VPS.
Both VPS's are Cpanel/WHM running centros 4 (might be 4.5, I'm confused on this) and the latest release version of whm.
What I am wondering is what stats/tracking I might be able to run to see what typical usage is on the two VPS's for a day or two and try and figure out if I jumped the gun in splitting them, and can safely remerge them without effecting the vBulletin performance.
Can someone help me out with how to setup and read some stats that would tell me if both VPS's are underutilized enough to merge them back together onto the 1152mb VPS?

In case anyone missed
I finally got my site moved over to Cartika's server. They were a big help with several issues I had, even fixing things that didn't have anything to do with their server.
I had to get a new template since the other one was only available at .wordpress but I like the new one much better anyway. I still have to go through each page to make sure I didn't forget to change some link or something. I also had to edit the php to work how I have it so I may have missed something (I haven't even seen php since 2003).
I'm writing a post about my initial impressions of Cartika and why I eventually chose them. I'll post the info at WHT when I finish it.

I did a quick search on this and could not see it as already being posted
It seems quite a clever but simple idea - remove a lot of the oxygen from the air to help reduce the risk of fire. What do those of you operating your own facilities make of this? Is anyone already doing this?

for our DNSs, should I add A record or NS record for my domain?
for exmaple I have ns1.mydomain.com now should I add A record or NS record for NS1 in mydomain.com DNS zone?
I came in here a couple days back looking for a reliable, powerful, and well priced VPS. I went through a couple companies and one of the first that I really seriously considered was Zone.net.
It's really all about first impressions and zone.net wins this. Their site looks great and definitely made a good impression on me. I had some questions about hosting a Debian VPS; they answered them quickly and completely. Their support is first-class and very personable. I waited on hold for less than a minute, and was instantly directed to a very knowledgeable agent.
After setting up my VPS, I can tell you that my sites get some good traffic and zone.net is handling it all great. Their bandwidth is fast, their servers are first class, and they're definitely the kind of host everybody should have.
I've been through many other hosts in search of a decent VPS and I definitely will be staying with zone.net for a while. I'm not affiliated at all with them, just a very satisfied customer. If you're thinking of opening something with them and would like an honest, third party opinion, don't hesitate to PM me.
My VPS is down at Zone.net!
My VPS is down at Zone.net and its been more than 12 hours, it is down. I submitted a ticket more then 7 hours ago, but no reply whats so ever from them.
I called on their number, but it goes to voicemail. Any one facing the same issue with them?
I just wanted to take a minute to express how happy I am with my new VPS from Zone.net.
There was a minor delay getting my VPS set up and they were upfront and gave me a good credit for it. This is rare in this day and age and I felt I should share how well they communicated.
So far the VPS is screaming and hosting my 3 sites without breaking a sweat.
Ill post a week or month report as I get time. This site helped me find Zone.net, so some more good feedback can't hurt. :-)
Before aweek i was looking from good company to take VPS so i saw here some poeple commend with zone.net. so i take VPS from them they are not to bad they have excellent dealers but the support slow if you issue ticket its will take hours to answer you.
so i will write my problem to (web hosting talk members) maybe they will help me one it
my web some times normal for me i can inter it but some visters can't inter the web
& some times i can't inter the web but some visiters can inter & if am used the PHproxy i can inter.

they told me there is nothing wronge on DNS
really i will be crazy from my web
what happaned if we set TTL 300 in ZONE...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have multiple valleywag friends who have gone with Zone.NET for server hosting. I decided to do the same a few weeks back and use them as well. I never got my IP and server info and called customer support. No kidding... been 9 days and Level 1 support kees saying someone will get back to me.
So today I call them and ask them if they are going out of biz because customer support is impossible bad, and he basically said yes!!! Wish they would have told me that upfront.
Anyway, wasted a few weeks with them. Now my cohorts and I are on the lookout for some new hosting companies. All recs welcome
I'm trying to setup an option on my server. I hope one of you can help me out a tad...
I'm trying to configure my server to allow an option that I usually call wildcard DNS. I need any domain that's pointed to a server to go to a parked page (just like a welcome to <domain> it's coming soon). I can do the parked page, just need to figure out the DNS/Apache settings.
I know it can't be too hard but I just can't find it...
It has come the time to find out who REALLY IS Zone.net
This is the moment where zone.net is experiencing their worst situation ever. We are all offline since friday, we are all extremely nervous and some of us are even losing clients because of the prolonged downtime. Many of us have sent awful emails to zone.net and there are thousands of complaints arriving continuously to zone.net.
I'm amazed to see how zone.net is behaving in front of this awful & critical situation.
Believe it or not, they are politely answering the emails, they opened a special page where they update everything that's going on so that we all know what's happening and what they are doing, they have a lot of engineers working continuously to solve the situation as soon as possible and they really are devoted to end this nightmare. So this is NOT only our problem -as their customers-, but their problem as well and therefore, we are all together on this and as such we should help each other instead of screaming at them.
Zone.net is showing with facts and with their behaviour that they are a SERIOUS AND VERY DECENT AND PROFESSIONAL company who deserves our support & help because it is nowadays extremely difficult to find decent and professional people like the one at zone.net. The fact that there's a problem today doesn't mean more than what it really is, and that problem we are suffering now has taught us that zone.net is one of the best companies we can possibly find. I'm pretty sure & confident this great people will satisfactorily solve the situation in a short while.
You actually know a company when that company is in trouble. Otherwise they are all great....
to edit a DNS Zone (via WHM=> DNS Zone Edit) of a domain hosted on my server & which NS's are routed to.
New setting should route domain to a seperate server (i.e HTTP, FTP) and leave EMAIL on my server.
I've changed all settings, except MX & mail CNAME, to the new IP (This includes NS's, A's, CNAME's - WWW & ftp). Still the WWW is not working and email has stopped working localy.
A few months ago, I helped a client setup some services on a VPS provided by zone.net. The setup process was easy and the VPS was activated very quickly. The online support staff is very fast at answering any questions I throw their way. I'm also impressed with their online customer portal -- very well organized.
Reliability has been perfect (as far as I can tell). The VPS is very responsive and obviously not overloaded. The price is very reasonable.
Anyone out here using zone.net for VPS hosting?
I'm considering their VM200 fully managed package. Via current special it's a little over $50/month. 1024 MB SLM (Guaranteed), 30 gig disk, 300gig transfer. 6 ips. This includes cpanel or plesk. I also like the fact that they offer incremental upgrades.
Sounds good, but being a newbie, I just don't know. I really want a reliable host with good support. I don't see too many reviews on them here... is that good or bad?
I'm also considering Liquidweb.
I wrote a while back about my 9 month experience with ZONE.net, and now certain circumstances have come up that have brought the need for me to to move to a different datacenter in southern California. However, my experience "in the ZONE" was exceptional, and I didn't want to walk out on them without a final word here on WHT to let everyone know what a wonderful time it was hosting with them.
In June of 2007 I was beginning to grow my own web development & client solutions business and decided it was time to move from a shared box to a "more private" VDS. I don't jump into things quickly however, so I had planned a week or so of research for the best price/quality/service combination. I spent days on here reading reviews, checked out 20 or 30 different companies and websites, and pitted plan against plan.
Eventually I narrowed it down to "the top three" and finally went with ZONE.net. They lured me in with some amazing deals in the "VPS Offers" advertising forum here, and I liked seeing the activity of their sales guys on WHT.
As you'll see echoed over and over again by happy customers on this forum, I wasn't disappointed by my choice. Throughout the year I filed some 16 support tickets which were all dealt with swiftly and as expected. As my company began to grow, I even went through migrating to a larger VPS plan with them, which was handled perfectly and went through effortlessly. I've "scaled-up" with other hosting companies in the past (when I worked for another company) and have had horrible experiences (plans change and prices fluctuate and you can't always get the same kind of deal you had before), but these guys were wonderful and everything went through without a snag.
Their network is quick, their support is amazing, and their prices are incredible. For clients of mine who need a VPS, I always recommend the ZONE. You won't be disappointed.
I've found my previous _immediate_ cancellation request was deleted by support as it never existed. My tickets (Ticket ID: 868231, 453438, 719425) are unanswered. I sent 3 emails to admin@zone.net and sk@zone.net and had no reply. I created high priority tickets to sales@zone.net, billing@zone.net and even abuse@zone.net. Only abuse@zone.net replied me that he "forwarding your ticket to our billing department and they will get back to you shortly".
Instead of terminating my acc billing generated a new invoice generated after 2 days I requested immediate cancellation.
Is it possible to change the name servers of a domain to point to my server and I will then automatically see the domain on my server, without having to create a DNS zone for it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else here had issues recently with the Zone.NET online sales chat? Over the last 36 hours it's been saying that the chat is online, but I'll sit in the queue for hours at a time without a reply.
I opened up a chat session earlier today and got a response, however they never replied to any of my questions - is there anything up over there?
Is their pre-sales support usually this poor? Before contacting them I checked out their reputation on WHT and they looked like their product and support were top notch.
Being in Australia can sometimes make speaking to live chat a bit difficult, however I've tried at various times through the day/night and at all times it's said the live chat was online.
I can only encourage you to check out zone.net.
My website receives between 9,000 and 12,500 unique pageviews a day and
I am now at zone.net and their VPS hosting is awesome,
not only the speed the my pages now load with, but also the custom support that helped me out with the domain transfer and setting up the VPS.
I got the VM-200 Virtual Enterprise Server that comes with 768MB memory, 25GB space and 400GB traffic a month. The server specs are as following:
Plesk version psa v8.1.1_build81070423.15 os_FedoraCore 5
Operating system Linux 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise
CPU GenuineIntel, Intel(R) Xeon(R)CPU E5345 @ 2.33GHz
It is a bit pricey at 65$ a month, but one of their service staff members gave the following promo-code to me:
It is FIFTEENOFF and deducts 15% of every monthly amount-payable, leaving this server beast at 55$ a month, which is financially sustainable as long as my dear users continue to click those ads that make sense to them.
In contrast to Liquidweb the package I have at zone.net has 256MB more ram at a lower price.
Also they have five datacenters to choose from within the United States in contrast to two at LW.
I recently got to know while trying to sort out my German .de domains, that they run a special promotions campaign this summer. They got some cool new special deals this summer.
I believe in giving credit where it's due and zone.net definitely deserves one.
I've been contemplating to switch to VPS for a very long time and choosing a provider is not only nerve wrecking, it was really really hard as the 'contenders' on my list all have really great reviews here on WHT
However Zone.net have really made my decision easy. I have initially decided to go for wiredtree and plan to sign up end aug. But when I saw zone's promo ad and seankoons advice to contact sales for custom coupon, that's just what I did. I was plasantly suprised that they could accomodate to my request and thus I signed up immediately.
My VPS was provisioned the next 1 and a 1/2 hr later but the VZPP link was not working. I submitted a ticket and was responded with issue rectified the next 3 minutes! another WOW factor! I've also submitted request for server hardening and this was done within 1/2 hr.
Then I realized that the memory allocated was not as per agreed, so another tkt submitted and responded within 10-15 minutes. There was a misunderstanding, nothing bad but Richard the sales person have bravely acknowledged the error and honoured the deal and that's not all, throws in an xtra bonus.
That gestures sure made an impact on how a company values their customers. My server now is up and running, accessing whm/cpanel is super fast and ping times are the best I've seen for a US based server. I'm in Singapore right now. By the way it'd be great if you guys can ping at your end (state your location) and post it here Will really appreciate that.
