My hosting company has been great. The server is in a secure place, but I can't help but wonder: what if a bomb hits there or something? What could I do? With all the websites I host, I would like to see what kind of backup plan there could be. Is there a way to have a server on the other side of the world automatically be switched to if it were to go down?
I saw a one port KVM/IP switch, simply a little case that fits in your hand, with 2xPS/2 ports, a VGA and a network output (it didn't even require an extra power input, although that isn't a requirement). I remember it was about 55 euros (about 80USD).
Does anyone remember such a little small thing? I can't find that catalogue anymore.. If you find one with a USB port for virtual media (like 32MB..)
I currently have a dedicated server with beachcomber.net and have had a great experience. But I found a promo from myinternetservices.com that may end up as close to 50% off my current price with similar specs. What experiences have people had with either company for dedicated servers? Mainly I'm asking about MyIS since I've already experienced Beachcomber. Does it compare? Which one is better, etc.?
I recently switched my site tdnforums.com over to a new server about a week ago. Some folks are still complaining that they are viewing the forums on the OLD SERVER. Perhaps DNS is taking a long time to switch over but get this... for many people tdnforums.com is switching BACK and FORTH between the old server and the new server. So, on some visits it'll resolve to the new server... on other page refreshes you'll be viewing the forums on the old server. What the heck? This has actually happened to me a few times myself so I know that they aren't crazy.
Why is DNS doing this? Sometimes the site resolves on the old server and then the new?
What's going on here? Why isn't it flipping over 100%? Are there any things I can check as troubleshooting, or is this normal? I've had some long DNS switches before but never this "back and forth" stuff...
I have two quad core processors and load is like 15.
May it be caused by switch if it doesnt let traffic trough properly?
if dmesg grep eth shows 100 full duplex is it normal or should it be 1000 full duplex?
how can I make it 1000 full duplex on centos 5?

Just in the process of upgrading to new box Plesk 12 (Ubuntu 14.04LTS). ON the previous (plesk 10) I was able to disable ftp services by editing /etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa - this doesn't seem to be an option now. How to do this on plesk 12?
I have website forum on my server and it’s the only one on it but the connection is too slow for the 100 uplink I don't know what the problem with it; the forums pages takes a minutes to reload.
I am having pop-ups issues on my website. Previously I tried to solve it out but wasn't able to because due to 64 bit of Windows 2003 most of the softwares were having compatibility issues. But now when I have switched the server to 32-bit, on the new server, the website is still having the pop-ups. I have tried a couple of softwares to detect them, but in vain.
I am getting out of ideas now. Can someone help or suggest me something in this regard?
I've been setting up name server for my website. I'm using Centos 5, but never get it works.
Here what i have done so far: yum install named Then i create named.conf in /etc
PHP Code:
options { version "Version Secured"; directory "/var/named"; /* * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source * directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged * port by default. */ // query-source address * port 53; recursion no;};logging { category lame-servers { null; };};//// a caching only nameserver config//controls { inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };};zone "."

I created glueg99.com.db in /var/named
PHP Code:

When i start 'named' (service named restart), it tells me these errors:

My website has been down and i am so frustrate about it. I don't like to use free NS from other sites, i'd rather set up my own NS.
If I type google.com in my address bar, it forwards me to www.google.com. This is not happening for my website right now. I think its a good idea to do this, since then search engines will have only 1 main URL for the website to index.
My question is:
How do I implement this? I think this may involve mucking with CNAME settings...
I am having an Audio/Video website where I am giving facility to the users to watch online videos and use Audio Service, also with a download feature (It is not Live service)
Now I am very much concern where to get started from, currently I have hosted a website with hostgator on a trial basis as it is shared so it took me 30 minutes to upload a 20-25mb files and I checked on youtube I uploaded a 13mb file only in 4 minutes, is it because of fast servers?must be! (and yeh with same speed, same internet connection, so internet speed not an issue here)
Here are the details.
New website so not sure what will be the traffic like, could be like hundreds of users (not thousands I think) initially per month.
Data to be uploaded aprox 200GB
Video files can be like 15-20MB (or 20-30 minutes)
Audio (3-5MB files)
Target users (Could be from anywhere, europe or u.s mainly)
Now do I need a streaming server or dedicated server with streaming service from the provider? Any fast streaming service I could get under $100?
I am recommending to a friend who is starting a proxy site, to do a successful launch by getting a dedicated server to host the single proxy domain.
He does not want to spend more than $40 per month.
Should he be considering a VPS, or are proxy usually against TOC of a VPS?
I have found a low end server at OLM.net with plenty of bandwidth allocation for $29.95. Is it powerful enough to sustain traffic from a proxy site that is just starting out?
Can someone volunteer (using the word "volunteer" because the one who agrees to help can be getting some really beginner level questions) to help me on uploading my website to a web server. The thing is i have designed and optimized (seo) some websites but i never had an experience of uploading a website on webserver (in other words launching it). I have this simple webpage and a free hosting service (Frihost) ... once i learn how to upload a webpage and get it running online .. i will make changes in the webpage and go for some paid hosting service. So can someone guide me at this? Specially the one who has hosted some page at Frihost.
I dont know where else to post this, but I am having a weird problem that I do not understand.
I have this domain, that I am pointing to a VPS hosting service.
I currently have 2 domains pointing here.
my main domain, works fine. I go to the domain, no issues (www.whiteazn.com)
but the 2nd domain, is where i am having problems (firstbaptisthenderson.org)
It is pointed to the same server.
but the problem is, it seems like the server change, never "propogated" throughout the internet. So, while MOST of the time, it hits the server as I expect, there are times where it goes to the Generic Network Solutions Page Not Found Error (you know, when you just buy a domain, go to that domain and see some generic page there?).
and refreshing, clearing cache, etc, still shows for like 1 minute, then after a bit of refreshing, will see the normal page that should be there.
this happens ever so often. I dont go to it everyday, but i think it does it periodically.
I dont know what the issue is? Both my domains are pointed to: DNS1547.DIZINC.COM DNS1548.DIZINC.COM
The change to the DNS servers was made like 6 months ago, and this issue has always shown up.
my server was hacked by Cold he/she inserted a couple of scripts that enabled remote access into a 777 permission folder.
i found the following script names: back.pl cpanel.php cgitelnet.pl cpanel.pl gcc-cold <- shell script
i have deleted all the above files, and changed the folder chmod to 755
but the weird thing is, through shell, when i try to locate the file gcc-cold i get this:
Quote:
root@ [/tmp]# locate gcc-cold /home/ns5f6/public_html/uploads/gcc-cold root@ [/tmp]# rm /home/ns5f6/public_html/uploads/gcc-cold rm: cannot lstat `/home/ns5f6/public_html/uploads/gcc-cold': No such file or directory
isn't locate NOT supposed to find that file after its been deleted? and if it was not deleted some how, isn't it supposed to delete it? am i missing something here??????
from a bit of researching the files, i found that it was a telnet script, BUT i have telnet disabled, and there's no process running along side GREP TELNET
how can i find malicious software or shell scripts that allow such hacking activities on the server?
is it possible that I can sign in to different website by using my dedicated server via ssh?
for example, all i wnat is just sign in to that site for a temp session only and not gonna read/write anything... exp: web: gmail.com account: user pass: pass
by using dedicated server/IP via ssh, is there any cmd for it?
I need some expertise on how many servers we need for our site. Basically it is a flash interactive game where a heavy user might download 60-75 megs in a one hour session. Our hope is that we get lots of users, say around 1000 users an hour. Our current server is a AMD 3800plus dual core with 1 gig of ram. It is hosted through Aplus. I am just the programmer for the project and don't know anything in regards to servers, but my client wants to know if one server will be enough to handle the load of 1000 users an hour. Or should we run on multiple servers, etc.
I have no intention of trying to make some video/file sharing website.
Some people might recognize me as being somewhat cynical in my replies to the people who post these sorts of messages.
What I'm curious about is, after having occasionally told people "You'll make significantly more money throwing the money you intend to waste on this project into a traditional investment..." I still see new people every week asking for the same help.
Now, I understand very few people are going to give up their dream and just throw in the towel because some random guy says their dream is stupid, they are stupid, and may god have mercy on their soul...
But, I don't (always) necessarily try to dissuade people from starting this sort of project simply to be a prick.
What I'd like to find out is if there are any people out there who've created a successful video/file sharing website who'd like to help others out...
Like, what advice they would have for people who want to get into starting a similar site.
How much bandwidth does your site use?
What's the URL?
How are you making money from the site?
How long did it take for your site to make a profit? etc etc...
Alternatively, if you've tried to start a video/file sharing website and given up on those plans...
can i get some review on www.leaseweb.com and can i host such website on there server please go to www.rapidshare-search-engine.com to see what kind of search engine i have
My website provides streaming videos of live events through a third party software called Sopcast.
Currently i have hosted it on a shared server which cannot high CPU load when an event occurs. The hosting company takes down my website.
I am looking for need a solution by which thousand of visitors can watch the video at any given time. The streaming videos are not hosted on my website. I need a dedicated server that can manage high CPU load.
