I read an offer from a company a month or so ago that offered some plan where you were given a certain amount of space on an ftp server. I'm not sure if it was hosting as well or just ftp space. Then each month you paid $5 or something and for as long as you have your account with them they give you and extra 5-10GB per month. So your space on the server grows with your needs.
Does anyone know the company? I can't find it anymore but I'd like to take another look at them.
im running out of space on one of my sites but i have more then plenty of data transfer.
Unfortunately my hosting packaged it weird where they provide not enough hd space. Im trying to figure out is there a way where i can use another server or hosting company that can provide space only and use their servers just for space?
i think amazon.com offered this but wasnt sure how exactly this works.
I have a 30gb vps which I only have used about 6gb. This 6gb is a live site so if that means anything.
I want to take 15gb of it and use it for personal ftp storage where I can access it at work and via at home so I don't have to always copy things to media discs.
My question is that will doing that and just leaving 9gb give or take on my live site affect performance or anything.
Does any know of any UK companies who do public IP space? aka putting a request into RIPE for some IPs (with justification). We only need a class c and we cannot justify the fees of joining ourself to RIPE.
Getting IPs from our current provider isnt possible as we want our own IPs so if we ever moved away we could take the addresses with us without having to change.
I have a site and I have a download section on it. The download section is already hosted by a different host company. I'm now looking for a different one.
The only thing is that I'm looking for a cheap hosting company with big web space where I can have all these stuffs files.
Does anyone here know a good one? The best would be within europe.
The last time I applied for a portable block from ARIN was about 7 years ago, and it was pretty easy to get when you could justify a /22. I'm just about to begin this process with my current company. Right now we're using a a /24 and 2x /23's from 3 different providers, and are hoping to get a portable block from ARIN.
Basically needing a /21, do we stand a chance of getting a portable block, or are we still stuck getting our prefix from one of our providers?
what is needed is a dedicated server or colocation in which my portable IP space (a class c assigned to me in 1995) can be routed to in its entirety. We will then have a VPN back to our own site. This could be accomplished by the ISP BGP peering, or simply announcing the routes themselves. We've got clue in routing, both in OpenBSD and IOS.
The machine doesn't have to be too powerful, and needs little storage space, but the bandwidth provided has to be decent. This is for a hobbyist rather than commercial project, so price is an issue.
I'm starting to get annoyed with companies stipulating that is it considered a waste of space to store your own files, and backups or whatever on your shared hosting account.
I don't understand why that is considered a waste of space you purchase that space and bandwidth. So why can you not use it for whatever you want in legal terms.
In fact I would be confident to say I have not seen a single terms of service NOT state that you cannot use your space as storage.
I have a partition /dev/sda2 which is mounted to /webroot.
Today, I find that I can't upload any files via IPB (running on lighttpd) So, as usual, I went on SSH and tried df in order to see how much space is left on the server:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on <deleted> /dev/sda2 20641788 19483292 109856 100% /webroot Since lighttpd is running inside chroot, I thought it was the log files but even after I deleted them, it is still at 100% usage. After spending some time, I couldn't find any large files so I did du -hs to see which folder is using large amount of space.
web1:/webroot# du -hs /webroot 2.2G /webroot I'm without a clue on this as what du -hs is telling me and df is different but it seems like the partition is really full.
Any ideas?

One of my hosting accounts has tons of extra space on it. Both bandwith and disk space. Enough to easily run one additional site. How can I use that extra space as hosting for another separate domain?
So its like using one hosting account for two different domains.
In a VPS package, the space designated, say 20 GB... contains all OS files, Control Panel files, and other utility files. and it will be say 25% of the space remains for data .. I mean for the /home/ folder/..
I wonder if someone has done any research on space taken by different OS's and CP's. Since for me, who cant afford to pay more to get more space, space allocated/remaind for my /home folder matters a lot lot.
Also, for example, if the the monthly/weekly/daily backup is enabled, then the space for home folder becomes almost half!
I would like to hear any advice to choose the best combination of OS/CP and the Backup settings, to get the maximum of spaces in the homefolder, say on a VPS package of 25 GB.
I've got a server in a local colo facility. both the facility and my server are slowly falling apart. Rather than investing in hardware and then shipping it to some location and hoping it doesn't break, I've decided to investigate VPS.
What I am finding is puzzling me. Why do providers charge so much for disk space? My current old p3-733 has a 30gb drive, I could deal with about 15gb but with some 'flex' room (i.e. a virtual drive for uncompressing files or some such). It's a personal server for me and a couple of friends, it doesn't get much traffic, I don't need a heck of a lot of bandwidth, nor anything flashy, just Ubuntu 8.04. I see places offering plenty of traffic for a decent price, yet little in the way of storage. I just don't get it.
A year ago I was here wanting to trade my class C for a dedicated server. I realize now that it would be pretty difficult for providers to do this, because if I wanted to yank my class c they'd have to renumber. But if anyone is still interested, let me know.
I have a VDS with 20GB drive, currently its running at 81% capacity, I have looked around but am of the opinion its not the accounts that are using that much space.
Is there a simple method of finding out whihc folders are using all the space?
I have purchased several VPS from a provider and found they do not provide swap space with VPS, and even with 256MB ram, I get 'out of memory' trying to compile a perl library... Creation of a swap file by myself doesn't work (operation is not permitted). Hosting providers runs HyperVM.
So the question. Is it common or is it a misconfiguration? For now I got just 'checking on this for you' and three days of silence from their support.
I'm not opening hosting provider name, but I will if they say "You must pay for more RAM", just because other 5 VPS providers support my VPS servers with swap space.
Number of processes running now: 0 070924 15:56:00 mysqld restarted 070924 15:56:00 [Warning] Asked for 196608 thread stack, but got 126976 070924 15:56:00 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 24343504 070924 15:56:00 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Error writing file '/var/lib/mysql/server3.dotcom.sg.pid' (Errcode: 28) 070924 15:56:00 [ERROR] Can't start server: can't create PID file: No space left on device
I took this out from the error logs, and realized that the reason why my mysql connections all ended up in error is due to insufficient space left on the device.
How am i able to increase the size of it? It is currently taking up 7.2G. I removed a log file that's 2.4MB in size, and i suppose it'll be filled up soon again.
I have a dedicated server with 80 GB H.D.D and host one site, this site have about 11GB files and about 10GB data base but every time I check the free space of my hard , the disk is full! what's the problem?
Placed this ad on the "Dedicated Servers" forum, but I think this forum is more suitable. Here is what I need,
Need a space on the shelf for 2 (now) and one later Dell computers. Effectively, I need two static IP addresses and network bandwidth (access) in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut area; no needs for system administration, maintenance (except network - 99.99% uptime)
Just wondering if you guys had any resolutions to this. We are looking to save space on our rsync backups.
I know you can use the --compress, or -z and it compresses data on the fly to save bandwidth but is there anyway to keep the data compressed so it takes up less space once it is on the server and still make it so it only copies over the file changes?
If not, anyone have any suggestions on how to save space with rsync backups?
