How do i setup a vps company
wats the requirements?
As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice
I have learnt it is harder to setup than I initially expected (since I have just moved from a shared hosting service). I am in need of some help setting up my DNS servers, as I am very confused. Here is most of the info I know:
1) I am running HyperVM
2) I've installed LXAdmin
3) I own the domain (purchased from xeodomains.com) runemart.com
4) My VPS hostname is: vps.runemart.com
5) I know my IP
6) My host has said:
'For VPS customers that have a HyperVM login you can now host forward DNS on the DNS servers rdns1.vaserv.com (US)rdns2.vaserv.com (UK'
And I am unsure what this means/how to do it.
I am not sure if I need some more information to set up my DNS, however I am sure that I can get it if I do.
Now, my questions begin. Firstly, I need to point my domain - runemart.com - somewhere. I believe I need to set up my DNS via HyperVM or LXAdmin so that they are something like: ns1.runemart.com and ns2.runemart.com. Though, is this correct? Am I able to set up my own actual domain name servers, or will my domain have to point at something like rdns2.vaserv.com?
If anyone can assist me in this I would be very greatful, as I am waiting to get my website running. This is all I will ask for now, I will take it one step at a time =).
If i'm running a web hosting company, and I want to add security obviously, which firewall should I buy? (hardware firewall)
And money is not an issue. Additionally, how important is an IDS or IPS? If they are important, any suggestion on a certain model I should buy?
about choosing unlimited disk space company. Which one of them is considering the best? Bluehost, Host1Plus, Hostgator, Dreamhost, Justhost?

I am asking this from a customers opion.
with each plan should it be an = shared amount of the processor or should each person have a dedicated amount? For example say you got duel quadcore processors running 3ghz which would = like 24ghz total correct? Say you have 16 VPS on 1 server each getting roughly 1.5Ghz.
IP addresses are recorded, but have forgotten who host it.
IP:67.18.26.179
Who can tell me which company host this IP address?
I'm checking out these host companies and I want to know whether they are good or not, and which one is the best.

Ive done a few whois searches on some of our competitors websites. In the registrar details it has our competitors name as the Registrar and as the nameservers. How can we do this? so for example if someone did a whois on our clients websites, they would see something like this:
Registrar:
OurCompany Ltd [Tag = OurCompany]
Name servers:
ns1.OurCompany.co.uk
ns2.OurCompany.co.uk
Do we need our own nameservers and dedicated server? We've just bought an account with openSRS so we buy our domains through them (if that makes a difference).
do you know any EU or Japanese company that use Riorey Hardware

I was wondering if you guys would recommend a hosting company to use a VPS? I am a web designer and as a side job i am thinking of selling reseller accounts for very cheap prices. I am mainly concerned mainly because of the RAM most VPS have . I mean is 248 and 512 mb really ok? Also , anyone have an insight on "burst ram"? What does this mean?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI will be starting up a new hosting company that will offer free and paid hosting. My question is, should I start out with a reseller, and move on as needed? I was simply thinking of starting out with a VPS, so I could simply skip the reseller part. I read elsewhere that some simply get a reseller and get another reseller when they need it.
What path should I choose. I could always get a VPS later on, but why not get one now? This is one reason I ask, because since reading about the reseller post, I am now split on this.
To note, have used a reseller before, but not a VPS. I do want to eventually learn to run a VPS, so this could be the time to do so.
I recently made a purchase of a really busy website and I need about 1024 Guaranteed Ram 20Gb+ disk space and 1000gb bandwidth VPS.
Please make some suggestions based on:
1- Customer/Technical Support
2- Pricing
3- Their ability to maintain a good service at all times.

The website will be lots of photos (thumbnails to be enlarged possibly), text.
Has anyone heard of Inmotion? (web hosting company) They seem to have what I am looking for at a decent price and have gotten some good reviews (but I don't know if those reviews are sponsored by someone).

I am starting a small ecommerce website, initially selling 10 to 20 items but obviously hope to grow in the future. Since I donât know much about web hosting, web design, etc., I need referrals to a webhosting company that provides easy to use professional looking templates which would allow me to design my website fast and start operation right away. Obviously, I need to get shopping cart/merchant account and all that goes with a e-commerce website (and I have no idea what all that might be but I am sure there are so many things that I will discover in the process). Anyway, I have visited many hosting companies out there and they are all so confusing to me. I wish they would allow me to see sample websites they host that used their templates but I havenât been able to find any.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've read articles that said it's generally bad to use the domain registrar as the hosting company(forgot the reason though)Right now I have some domains in Goddady and 1and1, and have a Hostgator account.

I have recently built my first database application.I used SQL Server 2005 Express edition because it is free. The drawback is that it can only hold 4GB of data. But the database is also compatible with any SQL Server edition.
I'm wondering what my options are - a lot of hosting companies seem to offer a greater storage capacity and then limit the actual size of the SQl database. i.e. 10GB of online diskspace with a 600MB SQL database.
I signed up with them for testing a project of ours, several days ago, nothing..
Emailed tech support this morning, they said they would look into it, 10 hours later, nothing.
I have a dilemma now as I don't know which company is better to use for my needs- allwebnow.com or webhostgiant.com.
I want to use shared hosting.
I am wanting my VPS Optimize to run at it best
I am also wanting MySQL on the VPS to run at it best
Which company do you recommend for VPS and MySQL optimizing?
I am in the process of creating a site for my family, which is spread out around the world. I am using Joomla and have built my site on Siteground as my host.
My site will have low traffic, for family only, but I want my family to be able to post pictures, chat and blog.
I am very happy with Siteground but it has come to my attention that even though they offer 750gb of space I can only have up to 5gb of picture files (gif, jpg, etc.) I feel that I will eventually exceed this and being new at the whole site creation, I do not want to risk data being lost (database, files, etc.) when the time comes to transfer to a new host.
The site is not active yet as I am still working out the kinks and adding more pages. I figure if I am going to make a move to another host now would be the best time.
So I guess the question I have is what hosts, in your opinions, would be the best for the site I explained and still be able to work in Joomla.
someone to look at my DB and optimize it as it is running ridiculously high loads of 25. It is vbulletin. I'm only looking for professional companies for this job.
View 1 Replies View Relatedour contract is suppose to end by APril 10 but they terminate their services without any notice and on my first week with them our database was corrupted for at least 3 times so i had to back up and upload and at exactly 12AM ph down, we experienced downtime services for so many times.
i am very much disappointed with the way this hosting provider has treated me. I am very patient with them eventhough they gave me very poor service, i still stay with them but despite of it, they terminated the services without any prior notice. I hope that none of our collegues shall experience the same and that is the very reason i am sending this message to serve as a warning to all of us.
