So I have a website that requires a service be installed on the server (Wowza media server). I'm just not sure what I need to be able to do this. The service will get little use overall, but it is required.
From what I can tell this means I need some form of dedicated server, but that is an awfully large jump in cost when I get minimal use out of the service. That said, if it is the only option I will go for it.
So my question is, are there any options aside from dedicated servers that would let me install a service? If not, how cheap do you think I could get a dedicated server for?
I am doing a business plan to start a Shoutcast Hosting Service,
We already decide to go with the FDC servers, and for running the server I would like some help on these issues:
1. What system operation should I select for the server: - Windows 2003 Web/Standard Editions - CentOS 5 - FreeBSD 6.3 - Gentoo LiveCD.
2. How about the best control panel to use: - Plesk - Cpanel
3. Do I need to install on the the server just the Shoutcast Server file or also the DSP and Transcoder for Unix (sc_trans_lame)?
4. I also need the Cast-Control software to manage the accounts and streams, but according to the instalation manual I need to use a MySQL Configuration ? Because I dont know nothing about SQL databases!
I have a Server with Centos7 + Plesk 12 and in the service configuration say that the Bind service is not installed, from command line i have install named services and make a manual configuration the first domain, but when I return to the service page in plesk... the problem is the same, the Bind Service is not installed; then the problem is when i want create a new hosting i need to go to the ssh to make the DNS configuration...
Got following Problem: Unable to find service node for web service on domain with id = 0

Deleted a domain workspace in Parallels Plesk and now I am getting this error when signing into the panel:Looked at the logs and been trying multiple commands (including the bootstrapper repair etc.)I found the full error from the logs:
[13-Jun-2015 16:35:33 UTC] PleskDBException: Unable to find service node for web service on domain with id=6 file: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/PhDomain.php line: 1404 code: 0 trace: #0 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Smb/Subscription/Domain.php(490): PhDomain->getWebHostingServiceNode()
After deleting a domain, we got the following error which rendered the panel useless.

Just had a support chat with my host - the shared server I am on has been very unreliable IMO since I started with them and Im an unhappy bunny. About an hour ago my webmonitor text me to say server down - my monitor does a ping and a content check.
As things now stand the server is pingable but cannot be accessed via http, https, email or FTP so, in my eyes, that makes it down. According to the host as it is pingable it is not down - my argument is I dont connect via ping and nor do my customers so it is down. Over the last few days WHM service status on the box has shown CPU usage regularly peaking (it sometimes gets to 20.0 on 2 CPU that I have saw) so I do accept that is probably whats causing the issue BUT as I cant access websites is this downtime regardless of the server being pingable?
Also should "good" hosts be monitoring things like CPU usage to be able to proactively manage issues like this or is just checking ping the accepted norm?
Really just interested in peoples opinions BTW, this is just one of a number of instances of downtime and not all of them have been caused by CPU usage etc and I cant be arsed trying to claim money back from them etc so this is not why Im asking - I will just move host to someone more reliable, this is just to satisfy my curiosity.....
I remember back a few years ago there had been several companies providing server support only on mostly linux systems. I remember e.g. there had one been where one had to pay a monthly fee and could then send them support requests...
Basically I do all my updating now. I have a VPS with...*GASP*...godaddy and their policy is you do all the updating to your server yourself. They will not help you in any way unless you pay their "extra special services team" 80 bucks an hour.
Now, I'm not that much of a server genius, I can find my way around and do certain updates. I'm just tired of doing it and also have a huge fear that I'll screw something up.
Is there a company that will do a full switchover from godaddy to their service, does all the updates and installs programs for a small fee for you? I also need one that is comparable in price. I'm paying 52 bucks a month now.
I'm wondering is it possible to use RegisterFly's DNS server for my VPS. I only have 1 website on the VPS, but I want to increase the reliability of my site overall and thought if it were possible to give the DNS operations to my Registrar, who probabily really does have seperate DNS servers, this would be a good move. Since it would allow me to disable BIND (freeing up resources/memory), and put the DNS operations to quite possibly a more reliable set of servers (since my 2 DNS servers are actually just my 1 VPS)
What are the Pros/Cons of this type of arrangement?
So I need to know, can it technically be done, and what zones entries I need to create.
So my the other day one of my clients rented a Windows 2003 server. Has no idea on how to run DNS server on it and demanded us to do something about it. Since he had no management plan, we let him know that if he got himself a management plan we could help him out - but looks as though he was on a tight budget and couldn't opt in for it. Same thing happened last week and again one yesterday!
To help these customers out I was wondering if I could start a DNS service. Each client would get access to it for free regardless of their operating system or management plan. They could point their domains to the nameservers and use the DNS service to point the domain's A records to their servers.
From the start, I have been using EditDNS and still using it. But coming to think of it, its getting more unstable day by day even though they have 5 servers spread across the globe. I am planning on to move to EveryDNS. With this move, I'd like to use their services for my clients too. Rather than running my own DNS servers - I feel this could work out more efficient and reliable.
So what I am planning on doing here is more like creating private namesevers to mask EveryDNS's nameservers. Then have a custom script site built to interact with EveryDNS's APIs. Sounds like a good idea? Then my customer uses the script's interface to create/delete/edit records, etc.
Anyway I need some advice, suggestion or help in this matter. Has anyone tried this stunt out before? If so, how successful were they/you? How are your customer's reaction towards this (satisfied or not?). Does it stay efficient? (both in terms of money, time and energy spent).
Also, if anyone could suggest me any programmer who could do this for me (someone well versed with DNS/EveryDNS on PHP/MySQL) it would be nice.
Edit: I guess ServerBeach/Peer 1 already has implement this. If anyone really knows whats going on there - please share.
I am having all sorts of problems setting DNS in windows server 2008 standard edition. Should I just use the DNS service I 've been using from DynDns or do I have to set up my own DNS server. The dedicated server I am having doesn't inlcude any support: do-it-yourself
I was reading Ross's article on DNS Hosting and was curious to see feedback from others who utilize these services.
We're an UltraDNS customer - Ross refers to them as the ferrari of DNS hosting, which I agree. We've been with them a few years now and I'll admit that we pay a very pretty penny for them to manage our DNS for a few of our larger sites. On the flip side, we've never once had a DNS issue and their support, when we've needed to engage them, has been outstanding.
Are most folks just using their control panel's DNS interface, or is there are larger contigent who are outsourcing their DNS management?
I've been trying to find a decent and reasonably priced website/server monitoring service that alerts me by SMS and email if something goes down. I have 3 HTTP addresses and one HTTPS I'd like to check in 5 minute intervals.
Have you had any good experiences with services like this?
We are thinking of upgrading servers soon and had bad experience in the past while migrating servers. Are there any professional companies out there that can do the job ?
Our customer wants some type of DDOS protection for their e-commerce website.
I'm trying to decide between 20mbps or 100mbps DDOS server protection (proxy shield) Do you think that 20mbs DDOS server protection is worthy? It costs >$1000 and it seems to handle only low attacks...?
They have a limited budget so... I will go for 100mbps (>$2000) protection only if I have to...
I am trying to test a website and see 'exactly' what a person viewing from Germany sees. We have implemented some programming that looks at the clients IP address and then changes the content based on the region of the world they are located in.
In order to fully test it, I need to access the site via a proxy server in Europe (preferably Germany), so that the IP address will show up as originating from Europe.
I have used proxify.net here in the states, but I have not been able to find one based in Germany. The site has some flash on it, so it will also need to support flash. The one proxy I found bombed on the flash.
