Windows 2008 Versus Windows 2003 Server
May 26, 2009With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
Windows 2008 Server + Plesk: Security
Jun 17, 2009I would like to setup a new dedicated server with the following:
- Windows Server Standard 2008 64bit Edition
- Plesk control panel
Questions:
Anyone know of a thorough tutorial on securing/optimizing a Windows 2008 server (even with Plesk) for a shared hosting environment?
Other?'s:
Considering Plesk's rip-off pricing, any free and quality alternatives to their products?
- plesk dr.web antivirus
- acronis trueimage backup
- plesk powerpack (I guess $24.99/mo lease isn't too horrible)
I basically want to replicate a Cpanel shared/reseller hosting environment, but with Plesk since Cpanel for Windows is not yet available and been delayed forever.
Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Unable To Get Active Sync Running On Server 2008 R2
Mar 23, 2014I was trying to get Active Sync running on my Windows Server 2008 R2 to be able to sync calenders, adress-books etc. with my mobile without success. With a Linux Server ot seems to be "easy" changeable like posted here: [URL]...
Need getting Active Sync running on my Windows machine? According to the steps in the mentioned post, I failed very early
1. check
2. I changed the following files: =>
"C:inetpubvhostswebmailhordeconfigconf.php"
"C:ParallelsPleskWebmailhordehordeconfigconf.php"
"C:ParallelsPleskWebmailhordehordeconfigconf.php.plesk"
with the values: =>
$conf['auth']['admins'] = array(my mail account);
$conf['activesync']['enabled'] = true;
$conf['activesync']['version'] = '14.1';
3. Rewrite:
here the "problems" start, as of course I don't have the nginx option the question is, where to place the rewrite-rules best?
4. check
5. don't know what to do here, if it even is a problem with the max connections to the imap server?
6. I can restart the mailenable service ?
7. as I have admin rights in horde now, I could do step 7!
That's it? I can't use the active sync features ...
Windows 2003 And 2008 Web
Jan 9, 2009i wanted to buy a dedicated server and when i had questions about 2003 web, i talked to hivelocity live support and i think it was dave who told me that Windows 2003 web has a restriction for mysql which was 512 KB. I myself is planning to own a gameserver that uses java and mysql and i know for sure uses much much more space than 512 KB. Is this true that 2003 restricts the size of your DB and when your DB reaches 512 kb, it can no longer be used? Also, is the windows 2008 web licensing fee the same as windows 2003 web?

Server 2003, Managed, PLESK/Helm, Backups
Jan 8, 2009One of my clients needs a dedicated server. I already know SoftLayer is really good from personal experience, but he needs both a Managed box and a Backup Solution, neither of which SoftLayer offers. I know they offer a 1Gig lockbox, but it's your responsibility to make sure files are transferred daily.
Basically what he needs is the following
- Server 2003
- As fully managed as possible because I am not on hand 24/7
- A control panel to handle everything. Plesk and Helm work. I'd say Plesk since they now seem to own HELM
- A backup solution at the very least once a week, once a day is better
- 24/7 Technical support with a phone number to call (not just ticket) in case of emergency.
Please let me know any suggests of hosts you use that were good. I have used many hosts in my life but only really liked SoftLayer (lacking the 2 features said) and AxisHost (no live number) so really need some feed back on this.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMedia Server Running Windows Server 2003 Std: Yes Or No
Jul 10, 2007Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.

Who Not Any Windows Server 2008 VPS
Jul 4, 2008I've started to use Plesk 8.4 on Windows Server 2008 at work, and totally love it. The IIS7-native MS rewrite engine works pretty good. It's a dedicated box.
For my own hosting, I use either shared/reseller or VPS. Looking around, it seems every VPS is still on Windows Server 2003 and IIS6.
I took a look at the Parallels site, but came up empty. Is Server 2008 not supported by Virtuozzo yet? Is that what everybody's waiting for? If that's the case, any news/rumors on when it may be supported? IIS7 is a huge leap over IIS6, in terms of PHP and the Rewrite (plus a few other things, though not as important to me).
Too bad IIS7 won't be on Server 2003.
Windows 2008 Server

Windows Server 2008
Jul 15, 2008With Windows client OS (e.g. Vista), it's always good practice to hold upgrading till the first service pack comes out. How true is this for Windows Server software? We're going to upgrade some Windows servers and would like to know if we should stick to Win Server 2003 or go ahead and get 2008?

Nov 1, 2007So Windows Server 2008 will be here soon
Quote:
On February 27, 2008, Microsoft will jointly release Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008, kicking off what it calls a "launch wave" with hundreds of events worldwide. Microsoft will pitch the products as a platform for next-generation Web service applications.
Windows Server 2008 is still expected to be released to manufacturing before the end of the year, with November as the rumored timeframe. Microsoft took a similar tack with Windows Vista, making it available to businesses in November before its public launch in late January.

What do you think this means to hosts offering windows servers?
Will they start offering Server2008 in november as the rumor goes, or only in February when it'll be officially launched?
What about swsoft and virtuozzo. What timeframe do you think they'll need to adapt server 2008 for their virtualization.

May 12, 2007I yesterday installed VMware Server under Windows Server 2003 x64, Enterprise Edition, and have this morning noticed the message 'Service unavailable' when browsing to a website hosted on the server under IIS.

Does anyone have any experience of this problem and a workaround?
Windows Server 2008 - CPU Limits
Oct 28, 2009I'm planning on getting Windows Server 2008 Standard edition, but getting confused on the listings.
Some listings display (1-4 CPU), while others dont have anything in that regards.
So my question is for anyone who has purchased Windows Server 2008 Standard -
Is there a CPU LIMIT?
If so is this for physical # of CPU's?
And will this factor in QuadCores as 4 CPUs?

View 4 Replies View RelatedPHP On IIS7 And Windows Server 2008
Oct 14, 2009Background: I work for a small microsoft based web dev company who is slowly starting to do more PHP based work. To date we've run these sites (mostly WP) through IIS6 on Windows Server 2003 although this presents problems around mod rewrites etc.
We're at a stage where we can make a decision between upgrading our existing server to IIS7 on Windows Server 2008 which seems to have better support for running PHP and all it entails - OR - getting a Linux box.
As a developer my preference is for the Linux server although the finance department ain't too keen on paying for another server.
Question: Have you experienced any significant problems in hosting PHP on IIS7 on WS 2008 alongside .NET apps? Are there any concrete technical reasons why we shouldn't use this set up?

Why Won't More Dedicated Offer Sql Server 2008 Web
Apr 22, 2009I'm hunting for a decent dedicated server and I see all the major resellers, but NONE of them offer sql server 2008 web edition which microsoft put in place to make sql server more affordable for internet facing sites.
I see great deals on dedicates, but all only want to offer sql server standard for a couple hundred a month, when microsoft has updated their plans for 2008 to make it more affordable with web edition
Windows WEB Server 2008 -stand Alone
Oct 12, 2008I'm working with a local ISP and we're working on getting some windows hosting going (he's been 100% linux thus far). We're trying to ensure that we can host my e-commerce site on Windows Web Server 2008. It seems like it does exactly what we want - we can run a sql exress instance on it and just host the site on that same box. that's all we want to do.
The ISP talked to some sort of Microsoft software reseller who's trying to convince him that Web Server 2008 requires Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (or some other version anyway) implying taht Web Server 2008 is simply an addon type of thing and has to run on top of another OS. Can anyone clear this up definitively?
Also, are there any MAXimum system reqs for Web Server? I seem to remember reading somewhere you could only run 4 CPUs and like 4 gigs of ram or something with Web Server 2008.

Leaseweb And Windows Server 2008
Nov 13, 2008I just ordered an Express Server 6 with Windows server 2008 from leaseweb a 3-4 days ago and they have provided me with login information for the server
I can't really connect to it.. I'm using windows XP pro SP3, would this cause any problems? I also have a static ip and all.
It doesn't work from anywhere, not my house nor other places.
I'm guessing leaseweb screwed up on this one right? I have contacted their support but have had no reply in over 2 days.
I used to use leaseweb but I cancelled my subcribtion so I'm guessing the problem is elsewhere.

Nov 18, 2008I got a Dell PowerEdge 850 a couple of years ago, with a 2.8Ghz P4D processor and 2GB RAM. It's currently on CentOS 4 and running quite well with H-Sphere. I host on it a couple of sites coded in PHP, and sometimes a game server or two.
I'm currently thinking of moving on to Windows Server 2008 as I'm intending to put up a web app using ASP.Net. As you can see, my system isn't really a beefy machine, and I was wondering if I would be able to run the new OS on it and continue to be able to achieve a satisfactory performance?
