How To Manage Your Own Servers
Aug 17, 2007I have some servers and I need them because of the type of applications I host, but with all honesty, I have to say that I don't even closely have enough knowledge to troubleshoot Apache, MySQL, PHP, Linux, etc... issues when they arise.
I could get managed servers, but they cost a fortune compared to the self-managed ones and I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend that type of money in order to have someone else look after my servers. In fact...it will be great to know exactly what is going on with my own servers.
So...in short, the question is. How do I learn more? Do you know of any good blogs, forums, newsletters or anything related where I can read more about server management in general on a daily basis? Just about anything related to remote, dedicated linux servers.
I've learnt a large amount in a short time already, but I feel that I need to pick up the pace and put more effort into gaining more knowledge. Please help me by suggesting some resources.
How Do You Manage Servers With Resellers Accounts
Sep 25, 2008I have a question for those who manage servers with resellers accounts:
- how do you handle the high server load?
why this question?
- All reseller account that I have used until now had the high load problem
- many of the topics that I see here at wht, about resellers accounts complains of high load
- we have some servers with arround 100's shared accounts in each, without any load problems (without any reseller account)...
...but now, we build a new server to sell reseller accounts and after first reseller was created - high load usage!
what is the reason for that? is possible to have resellers that has a fair server usage?
DMEHosting.com - > Worst VPS Hosting - They Dont Know How To Manage Servers
Oct 14, 2009Ticket ID : #919385
---------------------------------------
We have serveral vps servers from dmehosting.com. I would say never choose dmehosting.com for your sites. A vps server is down for more than 14 hours and still down. They do not reply to my tickets. They do not inform about the issues.
I had have many issues with them like 1 - 2 hours downtime but that's not really matter.
Now the server is down for more than 14 hours and still not up. I have even asked them to transfer this vps server to another working node but they are not responding.
DON'T CHOOSE DME HOSTING .COM FOR VPS SERVERS........IF YOU NEED HIGH UPTIME AND SECURE DATA.

Customizable Firewall For All Virtual Servers Within A VPS
Apr 3, 2009I've been out of the webhosting scenes for quite a while. Back around in 2000 I was using Linux and ipchains.
Say I purchase a reseller VPS.. I want to control a blanket firewall encompassing all of the virtual servers underneath it. I want to control incoming AND outgoing ports. Are there any control panels that can offer this?
FYI, whilst I would be looking for a reseller VPS/jailed arrangement, this VPS would not be open to the public. But is rather a custom project.
Or, are there any ISP that permits some sort of virtual firewall control external to the VPS itself?
Time For A Dedicated? And Opinions On Future Hosting Dedicated Servers?
Mar 26, 2009Some 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?
Renting Colocated Servers As Dedicated Servers
Oct 11, 2009I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.

Apr 15, 2009What is the difference between virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server?
I know that a dedicated server means you have the physical computer as your server whileas virtual dedicated server means that they separate the physical computer into various parts and you have control over one of those separated parts.
But my question is mainly on the functionality of a virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server.
What can you do on a dedicated server that you can't do on a virtual dedicated server?

Apr 6, 2009At the moment I run a small membership site. The site mainly consists of creating, downloading a lot of files using fwrite (Based on what the user enters).
Last months stats were just under 30GB of data transferred.
I'm currently with HostGator Business Plan ($12.99/month).
I run a LOT of database connections per minute. I am looking to increase the size of my membership site at which point it will be likely that I am running at least 1 DB connection per second.
Can anyone recommend me a decent priced VPS/Dedicated server for my needs?
The usage will probably be around 50GB/month.
HostGator have shutdown my site a couple times last month due to excessive number of running processes (Limited to 25) so I have decided to leave them.
MediaTemple Dedicated-Virtual (VPS), Reviews
Mar 17, 2009I am still in the process of narrowing down and picking a VPS provider for a couple of my higher traffic/resource sites.
As hard as I search, I can't seem to find an honest (aka non-sponsored, non-affiliate) review of MediaTemple's offering. They call it DV instead of VPS, my guess is just to be different.
Who Is The BEST Virtual Dedicated Server Host
May 11, 2008what hosts are considered the best for virtual dedicated servers.
I know about the big names like GoDaddy and Yahoo, but who really has the best service and (importantly) the best price/value?
Heres what I need power-wise: Something that offers 2GB+ of RAM to me, 20GB+ Hard Drive space, and something thats running on Windows. I intend to run 3 e-commerce sites off this, so if you think I need more power please recommend it.
Running Virtual Dedicated Server On WIN XP
Feb 15, 2008In order to test a web site's performance in conditions close to the planned ones, I would like to run a Virtual Dedicated Server on my desktop Win XP Pro PC (AMD Athlon 3500+, 2Gb RAM).
The most basic approximate parameters for the VDS can be as follows:
- CPU: 400MHz
- RAM: 256 Mb
Guest OS - Linux (e.g. CentOS)
Can someone here recommend me a piece of software (both free and paid) allowing to run a guest system and set the abovementioned limits?
Shared Hosting Vs. Virtual Dedicated
Nov 14, 2008let me say that my opinion may not be popular but I am very comfortable as a GoDaddy customer.
I currently have a virtual dedicated server and am a newbie when it comes to linux management.
I am contemplating moving to a shared hosting account since the servers are preconfigured. My concern is slowing down the site.
Our site currently receives 1,700+ visitors per day since it was launched a month ago. We expect this to at least increase to 10,000+ per day.
Does a chart exist to say something like if you have this many visitors then this is what time of hosting account you should have?

I'm looking for a hosting service where the team can do all the setup for me.

about 50GB space
500GB/m bandwidth
CGI, PHP, MySQL
Full root access (FTP)
No upload file size limit

Hostgator Reseller Vs MediaTemple Dedicated-virtual
Mar 28, 2009I have several small websites that I currently host with HostGator without any issues (although I wish customer service was better).
The websites are very small and currently don't require any significant disk space or bandwidth requirements (we currently have less than 10.000 visitors every month).
The problem I currently have is that these websites were all set up in different accounts which are a pain to manage and probably more expensive than required.
We plan to grow both in number of websites and bandwidth capacity requirements in the near future.
I have come to two options: Stay with Hostgator and get a reseller account( http://www.hostgator.com/resellers<dot>shtml ), or switch to MediaTemple and get a dedicated-virtual account ( http://www.mediatemple<dot>net/webhosting/dv/ ) (I have heard good things about MediaTemple).
Can you guys suggest which option would be better? Or a different one? Below are the characteristics I'm looking at.
Price - As long as it’s within market standards according to service I don't mind paying more for a better service. It is important that payment is easy from outside the US. Customer service - fast, effective, available 24x7. Ease of use / reseller - Easy to maintain several independent websites in a single plan. A plus if they have a good reseller setup.
Long term company stability and management - I wouldn’t like the company to disappear or be inconsistent in its business practices. I would like to avoid making changes in hosting provider.
Scalability - We shoot to grow and develop additional businesses that require more capacity. Don't want to change later of host provider when this happens.
Security - Known reliability of external attacks and good backup model Known reliability running the latest version of Drupal and Expression Engine.

Splitting Dedicated To Virtual Private Server
Jul 22, 2008Is it a good idea to "Split" my dedicated into a couple of different VPS's?
1. My sites and hosting "Company" site.
2. Customers sites.
Would this be the best? I was thinking of putting the companies site on a separate VPS so that a malicious user can't use php to exploit the billing system. (I know it would be ideal to have 2 dedicated servers, 1 for customers, 1 for company, but that just isn't possible right now).

Media Temple Grid Service Or Dedicated Virtual
Jan 12, 2009how's media temple these days?
In particular the grid service.
Does their service stay up? How often is it down? I heard a lot of horror stories back in the day, and went with another provider.
Sadly, my current provider has had a string of downtime each day and I'm looking to switch.
Before I go with another provider, i want to make sure that MT's grid service is good.
And how it would compare with their dedicated virtual service.
Especially when you consider their dedicated virtual service compared to the gs with a mysql container.
Great Experience With Rackmounted.com / Datarealm / Virtual-dedicated.net
Oct 13, 2008All three are the same company, just different instantiations.
I started with them with the cheapest VPS, upgraded to a bigger VPS and now went to a very affordable dedicated server.
Every request got a reasonable response in a reasonable amount of time (low priority stuff gets ignored on the weekend - urgent stuff gets a response within minutes; and even low priority stuff gets a response pretty darn quickly if posted during business hours).
There was a billing mixup - happens. I sent a support request, and with a couple of emails to get the facts straight the difference was credited back to my paypal account. Not just a credit to my account with them, actual money back.
Pricing is good (look for yourself virtual-dedicated.net for VPS and rackmounted.com for dedicated servers - don't have enough posts to actually post links or even real addresses, it seems... but I'm sure you can figure the addresses out...).
Even better, when I couldn't find something in my price range on their 'specials' page for dedicated servers I sent them an email, told them what I was looking for and they came back within minutes with exactly that at a rock bottom price that companies with rather bad reputations for their service can't beat.
I'm seriously impressed. If you are looking for hosting, whether VPS or dedicated, take a look. At the end of the day, it's all about the service.
I don't work for them, I don't get any compensation for this post, they didn't ask me to post this. Yadayadayada. I'm just a very happy customer. And that's a good thing.
How Do I Configure Dedicated IP's On Virtual Machines Running On A CentOS5 Host
May 24, 2009How do I configure dedicated IP's on Virtual Machines running on a CentOS5 Host?
I installed VMWare Server 2 almost without a problem using no GUI, I now have the web interface for the VMWS2 and any machine I create and run on it seems to do so without a problem.
The thing is, I can't connect or know how to configure this virtual network so I end up using 2 dedicated IPs on the Virtual Machine.

Sep 29, 2009Currently, I am using 1 VPS, and pay $30/mo.
Now, I want more resource. Should I buy another VPS ($30/mo)? Or buy a dedicated server(<=$60/mo)?

which one is better? For now, I do NOT want to pay more than $60/mo.
Those Sub-$30 Dedicated Servers
Mar 31, 2008My lease with LayeredTech is about to renew, so I am looking for better deals, and I found several $23 $24 $30 dedicated offers here. How are those servers/network/dc comparing to layeredtech?
I have not been looking for 2 years, because I was in other business. Badly needing a update on server industry now.
I thought utility bills are up, inflation is high, so it is a shock to see the price of dedicated servers are falling.
