View 2 RepliesFor a Web Host What Do you consider an acceptable uptime level?
View 23 Replies View RelatedIt is probably acceptable for a site on shared hosting to have some downtime. However, how much is acceptable?
According to Pingdom one of my sites had a total downtime of 14 hrs for Feb. One time it was reportedly down for 4 hrs.
I had set it up to ping every 15 mts. Are these results trustworthy? And if it is should I move my host? Or at least tell them to move my site to another server?
The reason I ask is because I was wondering if this was the norm for shared hosting.
My wife has grown tired of my concerns about the content on her site so she wants to move off of my MediaTemple Grid Service. She has also expressed concern over the speed (or lack there of) in my MediaTemple account. I myself plan to move over to A Small Orange either when I am finished with the year I paid for on MediaTemple or if the lack of speed becomes unbearable. But I digress.
She found a free web host with no ads (yeah, I know what you are thinking but hear me out) and she asked me to move her site. In all my 11 years of doing website stuff, I have never had a host that behaved nearly as bad as this one. This web host kept kicking me off of FTP so I had to upload each plugin manually instead of uploading the whole package.
Shaun Inman's Mint is also acting up on her webhost. My theory is that it does not play well with multiple database connections and that all Mint is doing is just showing that half of the attempted MySQL connections are being dropped by this host due to internal settings.
Now, my question to you is if you know of any good webhosts that allow adult content to be hosted? I remember only one but it closed down (Unrestricted.net) I do not know whether or not the parent company (BurstNet) allows adult content anymore. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
I periodically experience DDoS Attacks. I wanted to get some input on what you consider an acceptable amount of time before they stop?
I am hosted with The Planet which has some kind of DoS protection, and I've got APF / BFD installed which also prevents some. Usually it'll last 10/20 minutes and be ok again. Is this within the "acceptable" time frame, or would a Hardware Firewall do much better?
The Planet has: Check Point VPN-1 UTM Edge OR Cisco ASA 5510 SP / 5520 / 5550
Basically I don't want to get a Hardware Firewall if it's not going to do any better. But I don't not want to get one if I could be providing better services to my website users.
We run our company website on a VPS.
Now we do notice, that quite frequently, the connection times out or the server responds slowly. A friend of mine said the VPS could be the issue of this.
I ran a ping test today for several hours, sending one ping with 16 bytes with a timeout set to 3 seconds.
From 18000 pings sent (5 hours), 120 failed. Which comes to one failure in 150 pings, or one failure every 2.5 minutes.
Is this still an acceptable failure rate or do I have reason to contact our VPS provider? According to our own usage statictics, we are not using much of the server's capacities.
So we have a single Layered Tech box hitting our server with around 90 MBit/s for almost 12 hours straight now, resulting in over 400 GB excess traffic so far. An abuse report was sent about 4 hours ago (Ticket-ID: XZP-97559-339) with evidence included, but so far there was 0 reaction besides the auto-reply.
A phone call to the number listed on their website resulted only in a message that there is no one available at extension XYZ. I didn't try repeat calls since playing international phone tag is not quite my idea of fun.
I realise that it was/still is early in the morning at their location, but nonetheless, I'd expect a company their size to respond a lot faster to reports such as this.
I have a problem with the traceroute for 72.36.229.84 . Some useres can reatch it, but not all.
I 've attaced 3 routes under that isn't working and 2 that work. Look at the routes that doesn't work, they all stop by gblx.net ( String 9 - 10) Working routes doesn't use gblex.net

My server has been accessible in and out all day.
During these periods of inaccessibility, ping/traceroutes from multiple physical locations around the world show 50-100% packet loss.
During times when the server is accessible, ping times are anywhere from 100ms-700ms and the server does not remain accessible for very long.
I gave my provider traceroutes and pings for those times when it was inaccessible and accessible and they stated it was not on their side. It was on a hop in the middle between me (and apparently everyone else, since multiple locations around the world were used) and my server. They say it is not in their control and they cannot do anything about it.
I am reasonably sure this isn't just me or my VPS. I am on the phoenix node of PrimaryVPS.
The latest traceroute I did showed something new - a router advertisement claiming the TTL was exceeded....
I am still trying to diagnose a problem some members have on my forums, when they load a page it will load a grey screen (my background color) and stop, after 15-30 seconds+ it will finally load the page
i opened a ticket with my server co and they forwared it to the NOC, NOC said it was apache config problem, server co said it was fixed and was due to apache log reaching 2GB limit, logrotate installed
same problem still existed, opened tk with server management co, they tweaked httpd.conf and disabled logs, problem still exists
I asked 3rd management co about it, changed some settings in httpd, said it may be due to ads on the sites, i took out the ads and a stat script
problem still exists, the thing is the problem exists with some users and not others, doing speed tests to the server shows it is very quick, load is low, no i/o wait and i just installed the second GB of memory so memory is fine
this is happeneing to users on seperate forums, one using vB, one using IPB, so it is server/ hardware related, AMD barton 3000, with 2GB ram, nowehere reaching the bandwidth limit or 10mbps port speed limit
any ideas? doing tracerts to the server shows a timeout before the sites IP address, every time, but doing a tracert OUT of the server shows no time outs....
One of the other message boards that I am on has a server at LayeredTech.
Now they said in there they had no issues whatsoever with the network. But when I did this tracert: .....
I run tracroutes to many IPs often, anyoone could whip up a script to run traceroutes by entering IP and hitting enter and ability to cancel the process (as it gets stuck sometimes) and enter another IP to trace to?

What do you folks suggest, the IP is 64.19.96.5 to their outer router. Should it be a concern that we route through everyone through a cox.net IP?

The one with the less hops means it's the fastest network from where I'm from? Right?
And is it (less number of hops) more important than lower ping time?
I installed net query tool from this site

They say in order for ping and trace to work, you must chmod those executables on the server itself to 755. Is this safe or a security risk? The odd thing is, ping and trace works fine from dnsstuff.com or any other network tool site.
What is the location of those executables?
I'm looking into knownhost and they offer twice the bandwidth in their California option for the same money. Jay from known host said I should pick the one with the best ping times. I'd like to put the information here so someone might perhaps tell me what my best choice is.
I'll put the stats here and then if you could tell me which one is better (Texas vs. California) that would be great.
But if you think that the times between the two are only marginal (both real good), then could you help me decide about getting double the bandwidth for the same price.
I know nothing of course, but the two data centers look like their both giving great speeds (Texas being better though). But perhaps both speeds are great. If that's the case, can anyone tell me why someone would not take the higher bandwidth offer?
Thanks, I really appreciate any help with this!
Here is the info...

I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any programs out there that can monitor and record ping times to various server IP's and couple output say a simple graph. There used to be this website I used that you could simply go onto there site, and register, and put in your servers ip addresses and it would output a simple graph that showed latency, loss etc for any ip you put into there system and displayed a web based mrtg type graph. I am having some troubles at one of the datacenters that I have some co-located servers at, and would like to show them how much packet loss they are having at a given time, or over say a 24 hour period.

I'm looking for a shared environment where I could ping and trace to my equipment, either from cron or a background daemon which I'd write in perl, python, etc.

Is there a limit to assigning maximum IPs on a server.
I am not using any contro panel (plesk or cpanel).
What are the maximum number of entries that can go in hosts.deny? Will the server bog down the more entries that are in there? How many is a safe, reasonable number?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know there's a option in the WHM that says "The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited" and it affects all the accounts under the same server, but, Is there any possibility to configure the WHM/cPanel to give different values to each client?

I'll soon be sending out a mail to around 20000 mail-addresses, all members of my site that entered their email address upon registration.
I'm using vBulletin to send them out but now here are my questions;
1) What is the maximum amount of emails i can send out per hour to hotmail, gmail, etc. so I don't get blacklisted or the emails don't get rejected?
2) Which plugin should I use for this?
how to set the restrictions of maximum recipients a singe email can be sent to. I found one customer sending an email to 1233 recipients at a time which is a large number enough to increase the queue on the server. I am running Cpanel/WHM. Is there some tweak to be done in Exim?
