I am the owner of MotorolaFans.com and I leased a VPS from LiquidWeb and I must say they have realy done a good job in answering most of the questions I have.
The thing is, I am running mainly a vBulletin forum on it and it is using a little too much resources IMO
My CPU Usage capacity is on 100%, Load Average is 12.87, 8.72, 7.26
System Usage capacity 64..88%
I don't know what the load average means but I hope you all can help me in that.
This is the plan I am using:

I don't know any more details about it
I get about 4000 uniques with 30000 - 35000 page views a day.
Is this usual, and will i get a vast speed increase if I use a dedicated server?
I have a test.bin in www.motorolafans.com/test.bin if you can help me do a speed test, but I'm not so worried about the speed test, because my pages load slows because of the amount of images I have in my site anyway.
This concerns a fairly successful ecommerce website. It is coded in classic asp and has a MS SQL database.
The site sees average of 1500 visitors a day using about 50 GB of bandwidth a month.
The host wants to move the site to a two box dedicated (1 web - 1 database server).
This is an expensive proposition and the client is balking. I am not an expert in these matters but it seems like overkill to me. It seems like most sites don't have problems with the database and web server on 1 box.
At the moment, I am been hosted on an unmanaged server (dedicated).
My server provider is offering $25/hour for managed support.
My Kernal and Centos have not been updated for a while and I am looking to upgrade both of them. I am wondering how long would these 2 jobs normally take?
I have an account that is going from a shared hosting account to a dedicated with theplanet and I want to transfer it. Concerns I have is that the site is using an SSL. What things do I need to watch out for when transferring. Since I don't have root access I will have to do this transfer with the account function, correct?
This site has a database and SSL, so I thought it would hopefully be easier to use the cpanel account migration tool
I'm in a vps with 512 MB ram now, my visitors per day is 10K and from top command, i just use about 200 MB. But, my vps is always got downtime everyday about 30 minutes. The CS said it is because my ram, the top command is not representing the real ram and recommend me to upgrade my ram to 768 MB.
I run the website for a small but profitable business. We currently have a shared hosting package with Midphase (who suck horribly) for about $10/month, and I'd like to switch hosts ASAP.
I need to stay under $50/month, but my question is how much do I need to spend and would I benefit from VPS?
Our requirements are relatively modest (see below) but we need rock-solid uptime, fast transfer speeds, and quick/effective support should we need it. I'd also like to keep using cpanel or something equally easy.
Here's are current stats:
traffic: 1000 visits/month or less disk space: 5GB bandwidth: 1.5 GB/month mysql databases: 3 scripting: We also have a couple of wordpress blogs installed and run a small php script daily via cron
I try to relocate a database from my MS-sql8 server to a MS-sql 10. I can't get it to work as it should on the new host.
I have used the deattach / atttach method and after that i can login to the db in the new server and make selects. However stored procedures or views does not work. If i try to access them from a vbscript it get an error telling me that the stored procedure does not exicst. If I use the admin tool I can verify that it is there.. Can someone explain what to do? the db is owned by the user and should have all user rights thats needed, but apparently i guess that something is missing.
I have had a VPS at Futurehosting for over 2 years, that I am very happy with. Currently, the OS is Centos 4.
At what point in time should I upgrade to Centos 5? And are there in pitfalls when upgrading from a system that seems to be ticking along happily. Are there many incompatibility issues?
I have a linux VPS server.My trouble started when I bought a script that required me to install PHP5. Currently my server have 4.3.9.
Being a linux noob, it took me 2 days to install PHP 5 but now the problem is everything is still using PHP 4.3.9. When i do a phpinfo(); it shows php4.3.9.So, can someone please tell me how to tell the system to use PHP 5.
I used the exact same ./configure command as i see in the PHPINFO(); for PHP4.3.9 i.e
#make #make install Even the installed PHP seems not be working after the upgrade, when i type "php" i see this now:

I have a dedicated server and currently its running php 4.4.7. I need to upgrade to atleast 5.0 to run a script i purchased for my new website. Script wont install unless its php 5.0.
So here is what i did:
logged into my whm under root...clicked on Software-Apache Update
Now i have a list of software i can install. So i selected php module version 5.0.4 and clicked on start build. It ran and then my server restarted. But now when i try to open any of my sites on that dedicated server it does not open them. It makes me download each page i try to open.
Example i go to www.mysite.com/index.php it will ask me to download the index.php file.
How do i install php 5 on my server using cpanel/whm
I currently have a LiquidWeb VPS1 since April 15, 2006. Over-all very happy with it (minus the cPanel crap cPanel pulls). They are running a special on all VPS's and dedicated and am thinking of moving to the VPSII plan. CPU load is low and RAM/System usage (is that RAM?) usage is sitting at 55% (after 5 days).
I do "Family and Friends" hosting and it covers it now, but I couldn't afford to pay for the VPSII on my own, but with auto monthly payments from Friends and Family I could afford it.
Reasons for looking at the VPSII plan? 768MB RAM and double the CPU. My friend is hosting with me and runs all Drupal sites (same with me (once they go live). Drupal seems to like a min of 32-64MB for the php.ini file. Disk space is 56% not that big a deal.
If I pay the $150 setup fee, I can reduce the monthly cost to $25/month more then I pay now. So my question is, is it worth it? Is it worth it if I get the funding on monthly going?
I have a server that requested to do hardware upgrade the noc couldn't make it right with the same hdd so they just make new machine and connected the old hdd as the 2nd hdd (/oldhdd) to this new server where in the old hdd are all data and have to import all accounts to this new server or the better way would be to make it primary and that would save a lot of time not having to create add each account one by one then copy files and start making all the configuration of the server from scratch but my concern is all for accounts.
It has cpanel and there are more than 200 accounts.
Upgraded http apache from 1.2 to 2.2 quite new in 2.2 and also upgraded to php5 but after that facing two thing before upgrade in my process running only have mysql and httpd processes but after this upgrade php5 process also join them now three process running .

When I attempt the upgrade to PHP 5.2.1 using apache update in WHM. It doesn't upgrade. It looks to doa basic version check and then restarts Apache. Is this a known bug or is there a way that this can be corrected?
I am currently running the following

I'm currently on RZ Advance Plan for almost 2 years and found them to be ok. Well I guess I don't bother them much as I'm hosting mostly very low traffic corporate sites which utilizes email rather than anything else. However we had a couple of email issues on and off and it normally will be ok after we submit a support tkt although RZ will always maintain that nothing is wrong. The spams issues though is still unresolve to date. I'm not sure if getting a new provider will change all that either.
Then there was a week when I'm developing a site for a client and was working on it at around 3 - 5 am Singapore time.
There was at least an 5 - 8 occurances of intermmittent downtime lasting no more than 2 -5 mins on the site during that hr, when questioned RZ said thatit was a peak period. 2 - 3 mins of waiting time for that amount of occurances doesn't seem too good when you're developing the site right? So I'm considering ..
Should I upgrade to RZ Failover plan or Liquidweb VPS. Liquidweb server secure feature attracted me the most as it mentioned the spam issues that is crucial for me.
I like RZ end user support but not too confident with the email/ spam issues will be any better. Do you think getting Liquid VPS with 384dedicated RAM suffice for 30 - 50 corporate sites? I'm setting a budget of no more than $100 to include external end user support. Possible?
I am looking to upgrade my hosting account from IIS 6 to IIS 7, as I haven't been able to install some of the apps that I want on godaddy. I am just looking for a quick direction should I upgrade or not? I am not very knowledgeable about IIS thing, Godaddy says that If I upgrade I will not be able to downGrade, that makes me more snif*
please has anyone upgraded? so please tell me what would the consequences? or if any godaddy staff reads it please also tell me that on Upgrade page it shows me my directories, should I check them all?
This is more aimed at providers but do you allow partial upgrades on RAM/Disk/Bandwidth?
I'm asking as we have one brand which is fully automated which I refuse to do partial upgrades on as its done as a budget and if a user needs more they need to upgrade to the next package but it is budget.
On our more expensive brands we do allow partial upgrades
we manage about 400 linux servers, every time that a new kernel is out or that we need install something we must login to each box and lanch the command, i think that this is a old system that can be used about 10 years ago how do u manage large servers upgrade? is there any tool that we can use to lunch command on several box?
I want to upgrade my apache to 1.3.12 to 1.3.41 I don’t have cpanel whm, I am using centos as a OS. Is there any easy way I could do this upgrade if I install a RPM what’s happens to my old version of apache would I need to remove it?
My current kernel version is "2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 16 17:17:21 EST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux". I want it to be upgraded since it is old. I have been told by our server management company that the latest kernel distributed from yum is kernel.i686 0:2.6.9-78.0.22.E. Can anyone tell me if this version is safe and secure enough? It is a CentOS release 4.7 (Final) server with cPanel installed.
