Webfusion Dedicated
Nov 7, 2008
I am moving away from them and i really think they shouldnt be entrusted with anything server related and/or be allowed to advertise their 24/7 support as after 8pm is non existent and before that is totally useless. I had to tell them how dns records are to be checked or how to flush my dns on my pc or what is a hosts file in windows!
I am intenting to sue them and just wanting to know if any of you had any similar experience?
I am still to reconfigure the Bind server myself now because of their mistake for which they want me to pay 100 to fix. About 10 different live websites are down because of that over 24 hours. anyway, i am off to reading and configuring the DNS server, but once i am done, i will report all the problems i had for the past 5 months with them. Sorry again if this is not the right place.

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??

Someone has mentioned to me that although Webfusion's servers represent good value, they suffer from network contention issues. They have implied that no matter how much power your server has, you will never acheive it's full potential as you are competing for bandwidth with so many.
I was ready to purchase a dedicated server from them, but now I'm concerned that this might be true. Would anyone out there care to agree/disagree with this? In fact, if you're already hosting on a webfusion dedicated server and don't mind posting a link to a site running there, I'd love to take a look! Especially if you're running any web apps or mysql-hungry sites?

I'm currently on a VPS 2.0 Pro package from WebFusion. Ubuntu.
I've been with them for years, first on shared, now VPS. I generally run Invision discussion forums on them, as well as a few static websites.
Ok for disk space, memory etc. but recently it has been sooooooo slow, lag is getting unacceptable. It is intermittently ok, then slow as treacle. My customers are starting to complain.
I've spoken to tech support, and all they say is it's fine, but will look into it and then contact data centre.
To be honest, over the last few years I've seen a decline in tech support and customer service, but wondering what to do now. I pay annually and my budget is about £400 pa.
Renewal is due about March, but thinking about leaving early. Just getting too much hassle.
I just wonder who to go with? Do the smaller companies offer the same performance? Do they all have the same connnections to the backbone?
Or maybe it's a weird apache thing?

I am trying to send an email from a php script on a Webfusion VPS.
$to = "me@atmydomain.co.uk";
$subject = "Test subject";
$msg = "Test message";
$headers = "From: you@atyourdomain.co.uk
Reply-To: you@atyourdomain.co.uk";
if(mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers)){
echo "Sent";
}
else{
echo "Error!";
}
The page displays "Sent", but I don't receive the email.
Is there a setting that I should me making in either the script or via Plesk or elsewhere to enable the emails to be sent?
I phoned Webfusion support, but they claim they only support hardware. Webfusion's help pages just say:
I'm setting up a formmail script on my Linux VPS server? what is the path to sendmail?
The path is: $mailprog = '/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -i -t';
But it doesn't explain where to put this line of code. And if it should go in the php.ini file how do I get to that?

Some information about my forum:
I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.
The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.
Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?
The server I am looking at has these stats:
E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management
The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.
Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?

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 use shared web hosting service to get my website online. I'm wondering how many people use dedicated servers or virtual private servers instead and pay from $20 to several hundreds of dollars? Will I face any big problem with shared web hosting package which makes me choose dedicated servers?

What would you classify this as? Seems like it's the in-between for VPS and dedicated with completely reserved resources and much higher storage capacities than VPS can offer.
Personally, if it runs a hypervisor or container is a VPS but this sure does blur the lines a bit.

I am currently using a shared hosting but due to increasing traffic and server load my existing host is not able to provide reliable services and I am planning to upgrade my hosting service.
While I was searching for Dedicated Servers, I learnt about Virtual Dedicated Servers but I am not very sure about their reliability? Are Virtual Dedicated Servers useful? My website current serves over 2500-3000 visitors a day resulting in 30,000 pageviews and I am expecting the traffic to grow by atleast 2 folds in the next few months as I start some PPC campaigns and Email Marketing for my website. Can a Virtual Dedicated Server cater such needs assuming my website to be more of less dynamic website written in php?

VPS or Dedicated from SDX
I'm running a Joomla site with about 15,000 page views/day on JaguarPC at present. Its a mainly passive content - no message boards or applications. They disabled my site stating that CPU/Database use is too much. Should I move to a VPS or Dedicated server now ? Budget range $50-75/month.

I am tossing around the idea of moving from my dedicated server to a VPS server. This is due to my ever growing server needs.
Currently, I use a small percent of a $400 softlayer server, about 500gig disk space and 2tb bandwidth. Is this too big for a VPS? Is there anything special I need to take into consideration for the move?
I was also wondering if other VPS's on the same server would slow down mine or if I would just allocated a % witch would be reserved for me.

I have a master reseller account with a host and i ordered a dedicated IP address so i can install a SSL certificate, I have not done this before so just wanted some info.
Its been over 24 hours from when my host transfered my IP to my account and my website keeps showing some other website o my laptop and if i check it on 1 of my other computers it shows the WHM & cPanel success page...
i know i have to leave it to set the new DNS etc but should it be showing another website? and how long does it take to set the new IP fully as my email and website is all offline

Self-explanatory title, I think.
Besides that, do you recommend dedicated ip to be bought along with host?

I'm just wondering what the prices are for lower end dedicated servers and how many websites you can fit on them?
(lets say each website is a small 5 to 10 page website with 200 meg space usage and 1 to 2 gig transfer per month)
I'm currently using reseller but once my client base is built rather than buy 5 or 6 reseller plans, I thought it'd be logic to simple upgrade to a dedi.
I know VPS are used for name servers and whatnot, how do they compare with low-end dedicated servers?

I'm in the middle of deciding on the hosting I'll use for a site I plan to launch in a month or so. The site is a web app built on Drupal (mysql 5 / php5). It is somewhat resource intensive, as thousands of rss and csv files are updated almost constantly. My last site I hosted across two VPS's, one for the DB and one for everything else. My main concern is scalability - being able to handle whatever is needed.
So I'm looking for some advice on what to do, trying to get the most power, and best scaling options - while trying to keep costs down. I can get a fairly powerful dedicated, fully managed, from liquidweb for around 230/mth. At that price, I thought maybe it would be better to have two VPS's. My experience in this area is limited so instead of running my mouth perhaps I'll let someone else suggest something..

I have a website with forum that has been doing pretty well. I'm presently using a shared hosting account and am considering moving up to a VPS because of anticipated future growth and the terrible service I have gotten from my hosting provider.
I have a graduate degree in IT but don't work in this field professionally. Because of this, I'm very good at coding in php, html, javascript, etc. but very terrible when it comes to network administration and my knowledge of unix and linux. But I know I can eventually learn. Because of this I already know I will go with a managed plan if I go VPS.
To be honest with you, after studying many posts on this site for the past few days, I was convinced I would go with a VPS account with either Knownhost or Wiretree since they have managed VPS. However, I have seen one post in the VPS Forum here where one person said his site, which included a forum, was on a dedicated server and at times with 100 users logged into his forum at one time his server could barely keep up.
I am presently getting about 2.5 million hits per month (80,000 hits per day) with about 22,000 page views per day. However, I only have about 500 members in my forum and on average only about 30 logged in at any given time. I get about 5000 unique IPs coming to my website each month. My bandwidth usage is less than 20 GB per month. To me it doesn't really seem that I need a dedicated server but my site is growing steadily.
So it made me question my decision about moving to a VPS plan. Maybe I need to consider a dedicated plan?

I have a dedicated server running all my services, including Plesk (WWW, FTP, DNS, etc), E-mail (SMTP, POP, Antispam, webmail) and database (MySQL and SQL Server).
I´m thinking to break this dedicated Server in 4 VPS (** Windows VPS, powered by Microsoft Virtual Server **) to do a better load balance (where a service don’t affect performance of another), increase services uptime (since each of them will be isolated) and increase scalability (since I will be able to move each VPS to Virtual Dedicated Servers when needed - like PowerVPS's PowerXMS plans).
This is what I´m thinking to do:
- 1 VPS for Plesk (WWW, FTP, DNS, etc),
- 1 VPS for isolated web applications (WWW and FTP - no control panel)
- 1 VPS for E-mail (SMTP, POP, IMAP, Antispam and webmail)
- 1 VPS for database (MySQL and SQL Server)
I have some questions about it:
1) Do you think that breaking a dedicated server in some VPS is a good thing? The benefits that I mentioned above are correct (better load balance, increase services uptime, increase scalability)?
2) Do you know what software licenses must I lease to have the Plesk core in a server and the e-mail services on another server? Looking at SWSoft website I found some info about Plesk Expand, but it focused to expand the core of Plesk, having multiple Plesk instances hosting all services in all servers and it require a Linux SO, which I don’t want to have and admin. Do you know how can I separate the Plesk core from the e-mail services in 2 separated servers without having to lease a Linux VPS just to run Plesk Expand?
3) Do you if data traffic between VPSs are metered? (this change from a provider to another?)
4) Do you know if a Virtual Dedicated Server (1 dedicated server running 1 VPS) has significant loss of resources other whena comparaed to a dedicated server?

I was considering starting up a website with lots of information and I was wondering, should I get a dedicated IP? Its an extra $2.99 a month. It's not a lot of money, but is it WORTH it? I was thinking of using the godaddy hosting plan (economy one) for $3.99 a month (also cheap).
So can anyone tell me if its really that important to get? And yes, I'll upgrade the other hosting options as the site grows.

I used to work in an environment where there were many nodes into the local area network. Each node had a separate IP address and was visible on the Internet. Not all nodes were servers. Some were simply "dumb" terminals that connected.
Today what used to be known as the cpu part of the computer -- because there can now be two or more cpus [chips] in a single box, makes it a little confusing to talk about one server which assumes one cpu. To ease confusion-- I want to talk in terms of rack units. I am assuming each rack unit is a server.
My question[s]--
[1]Can a server [rack unit] have more than one IP address?
[2]Can an IP address represent more than server?
[3]Why do some hosting companines offer dedicated IP support for $2.99 more a month and others offer the same for over a hundred a month? Is it because the more costly dedicated servers allow owners to put whatever software on the server they want?
