My forum is becoming more and more active and i would like to know how to setup a website on two servers. Ive seen many sites using www0.example.com and www1.example.com. Is this difficult to do?

Would it be possible to split website components transparently across 2 servers and make it look like a single site? For example: run a forum on ServerA and a wiki on ServerB, but with the same base URL? Doing this will allow me to buy smaller servers instead of a single huge server.

They offer choices for visitors from different regions so that they can enjoy a better speed when browsing.
e.g. Visitors from USA use www1 , visitors from Europe use www2
My question is: how to synchronize the contents and files between different web servers?
For the dynamic content, one database server can be setup. So that all php scripts on different web servers can retrieve from the same database source.
But then, in a real-time forum, how to synchronize the files between the web servers? For example, one user from www1 uploads a file. This file will go to www1's filesystem. How to make this file appears in www2's filesytem?
I can think of 'rsync' every minute between servers. But still it's not real-time, and there may be problems if sychronication can't be finished within the minute.
I updated my name servers to reflect my new web host two days ago. The name servers have updated, but the site is still pointing to the old host!
I emailed my host about this and they told me to email my registrar. The host says the domain is registered with the new name servers but these name servers are registered with IPs outside of their network. I'm confused and have never had this problem before when changing DNS.
with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?
I have always had cpanel reseller hosting accounts and am familiar with WHM. However I need to spread my sites out a bit and am noticing that multiple hosting is a fair bit cheaper than reseller. I don't host for others so dont really need reseller but am used to whm.
My question is how does multiple site hosting work? As I understand it you just have one logon with one ftp account. How do you upload and seperate/configure your sites? and can I still use .htaccess files for redirects?
to create several 'small' sites, but I would ideally like to host all of these domains within one account. Is the only really way to do this is to have my own server or is there another way this can be achieved. I have seen loads of PHP based accounts where you can host multiple sites but I can't see any decent asp.net based accounts.
By hosting small sites I mean each site needs to be able to have its own domain name, email per site.
How to have multiple domains with 1 site on lighthttpd

I currently have 2 web servers both running the cPanel Control Panel.
Out of the two servers only one is used and the other is just used currently to test scripts. It has come to a stage with the website capacity that I now require both servers to run in con-junction with each other to spread the load.
Questions:
1) There is a file upload service, How would you go about networking both the servers to allow remote removal / uploading of files to different servers. Eg, If user is on server 1 and files are stored on server 2. Also deletion of files etc - The website is programmed mainly in PHP.
2) File updating - The website is constantly being updated and therefore both servers will need the PHP files to be in sync. How would you go about doing this?
Both servers are at the same Data Center location.
We are looking for KVM/IP solution for multiple server. Where we can add the users remotely and give temporary access to the server owners. Once they are done we remove them from access list. So it can be used by someone else.
Anyone know for KVM/IP solution with kvm switch which can solve our purpose of KVM.
I currently have two servers, one is rhel 5 with cpanel, the other is windows 2003 with plesk 8.4
Each server wants you to setup a Hostname... one that is FQDN but not being hosted on that server so I setup a generic dns domain as follows...
SERVERCODNS.COM
Now for the hostname I setup both servers to be use this domain but different prefix... so...
SERVER1.SERVERCODNS.COM
SERVER2.SERVERCODNS.COM
Is this ok? Will I have problems?
My cpanel continues sending me emails nightly that my DNS is routing to another ip?
which bring sup my next question...
Is is ok to NS1.SERVERCODNS.COM, NS2.SERVERCODNS.COM for say the RHEL server and then DNS1.SERVERCODNS.COM and DNS2.SERVERCODNS.COM for say the windows? Is this going to cause problems?
Whats the difference or proper procedure for setting up DNS with my registrar (*ENOM) vs in the control panels they have Nameserver tools?
if it is possible to use more than 2 regular DNS entries across 2 hosts? So if a site goes down the other host picks it up?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a website.
I have it on 2 different servers.
This is because if the first server goes down for whatever reason, i dont want the site to go down.
To get this to work, is it just a case of adding more nameservers to the domain?...
becuase this doesnt seem to be working... the domain seems to always resolve to the server that is listed last in the list of nameservers...
Has anyway come up with a way to have several servers connected to one external CD-ROM on a USB Hub/network? This could allow a few external CD-DRIVES to handle a whole rack and the possibility of setting the bios via KVM/IP on a server to boot from CD, then it would boot from the CD tied in on the USB "network". Maybe using a USB hub? Or would this cause possible security issues having multiple servers tied in via USB ports?
I would love to have the ability to have maybe 3 or 4 CD-ROMs tied into multiple servers for OS installs remotely without having to actually go into the DC for this. You could put the CD-ROMs on your APC reboot and just turn on the one you need and set the bios to boot from CD (ie: one drive could have CentOS, one could have Windows, etc)
I'd be interested in some ways people have done this or what they use.
I have a firebox firewall and two servers. I don't one machine to see the other one the network. The servers are for two different clients. However I would like to be able to access a backup folder on Server 2 from Server 1. What is the best setup for this?

My main website is a dating/magazine/community site.
I use server ONE for as my main server for:
nameserver
mail
apache - php
mysql
This server uses FreeBSD with CPanel/WHM
Server ONE load averages are about 1-1.5
A year ago I got another server (server TWO) to host a php chat script, and unload the main server. This server hasn't a domain attached to it and I'm using it through its IP.
This server runs:
apache - php
mysql
And it also uses FreeBSD but with Webmin.
The load averages for Server TWO are about 0.20.
Recently I transfered all the images of Server ONE to server TWO, with a good result for loads on server ONE.
What I want to doSome users of the site complain that they can't see any images of the site due to IP based images src.
So I want to set up a redirection so images.example.com to redirect transparently to the other server.
When I tried to setup a subdomain redirection through Cpanel, I just got again the IP of the other server.
Who can this be done?
If I must setup DNS stuff in server TWO, in order to achive it, can I use it also as spare nameservers for the domains hosted on Server ONE?
What else is easy to transfer to server TWO in order to unload server ONE?
Does anyone know how I can run multiple servers. But still use the same Domain name.
Such as server one with ip 547.547.547.547 uses domain www,m1.domain.com
and server two has ip 547.548.548.548 but uses domain www,m2.domain.com
What is the best way to run one command on multiple servers. Security isnt too much of an issue as I'll be doing a master/slave type setup, with the master being a system in the office with no ext access.
I'm thinking pssh is going to be quick and easy, what do you use?
I have 2x servers with the following os/control panels:
1x Windows Server 2008 running Plesk 9.2
1x Centos 5.3 running cPanel/WHM
What I wish to do is to point all of my domains to the nameservers:
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
But, the domains hosted could be on either of the boxes above (because some sites are ASP.NET and others PHP).
Each of the above machines are running BIND and I have not yet setup nameservers on either of them. How should I proceed with this?
In addition (for arguments sake), if I then add additional servers how would I then achieve the same?
If there's already stuff around on the forum (I've done a search but found nothing specified to my issue of running a windows and linux box with completely different control panels) please point me in the right direction.
A website I am involved with may soon hit a problem due image uploading being stored on only one server. We are unable to find a realistic solution which would allow us to upload images from 1 central location.
The website is programmed in PHP and is on a standalone web-server - currently the images are uploaded to the same directory as the website however we are looking to move the images to another server for scalability.
Is it possible at all to upload using a directory link of some kind, eg, the directory would be /serverip/path/to/images which you would upload to? Or any other realistic approaches that you know off.
Is it possible to combine multiple servers via "Configure Cluster"? Will the hosting domains use same ns1.mydomain and ns2.mydomain.com if one server is located in UK and second is in USA Datacenter. Can somebody provide me information with explanation?

Basically, our goal is to have our own store for Lean Bulk, but it will be run by a different company, and will be on their server.
Soo, the store database and custom script will be staying on their server, but my forums will be staying on my server. What I want is for the store to be located at [url]or [url]
Either one works for me. However, the tech guy that runs all the stuff for the store, is trying to tell me that this is "impossible." While it might be somewhat difficult, I have a hard time believing anything is really impossible.

Personally, I think this looks unprofessional, and would rather stay away from this solution.
I purchased a domain, domain.com, from GoDaddy.
I have 5 servers, 2 running CentOS and Apache, 3 running Windows Server 2003 and IIS. Each server has it's own dedicated IP address, so I can access each site by going to [url]
Would I would like to be able to do is set each of these servers up with a subdomain on my domain.com. So I would have [url]going to one server, [url]going to another server, etc.
I logged into GoDaddy's Domain Manager. However, it appears that the only form of subdomains they have is redirection. So while I can create server1.domain.com, it merely redirects to [url]
I can mask the forward, but this creates problems with the login on the servers because they use cookies. In addition, the address always appears as [url], it doesn't have the "index.html" or "/login/login.aspx" when
I click links. The actual links appear as "[url] and not "[url]
Is there anything I can do? I want the subdomains to point to a particular IP address, not redirect.
I have a server with plesk8 installed. I forsee a time when I shall need either to move to a new bigger server or to add a new bigger server to what I already have.
Problem is, my isp says that PLESK will only work on single server set-ups and can't work in a multi-server environment.

I was talking to my host the other day about configuring multiple servers as a private LAN. I was wondering if anyone has successfully set up a configuration of using separate servers for each task for shared hosting accounts. I.E. Having certain servers as web servers and others dedicated as MySQL servers, e-commerce servers, mail servers etc.
Does anyone do this? I can see it boosting performance.
I run a small hosting company and i have been using multiple (different) nameservers for different servers, for example...
Nameserver IP
ns1a.domain.com 192.168.0.1
ns2a.domain.com 192.168.0.2
ns1b.domain.com 123.123.0.1
ns2b.domain.com 123.123.0.2
How do i make it so i can have ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com pointing to all different my servers?
I have been trying to setup SPF records for all of our hosting servers but need some assistance.
Lets say we have three servers with the following RDNS:
ns1.server.com
ns2.server.com
ns3.server.com
Would we create one SPF for server.com and add it to the DNS zones on each server?
Or should we create a separate SPF for each server?
how to make it so if the server that hosts my website receives too much traffic it will go to a mirrored copy of my website on another server? I want to make sure that it doesn't go down in the event of a big boost in visitors.
View 5 Replies View RelatedLets say for example I have 10 servers independent of each other. I want to be able to have only 2 Nameservers, NS1 and NS2 where all the domains should resolve to and then they should be handed off to one of the 10 servers. I dont want to have 20 Nameservers for example NS1 thru NS20 for all 10 servers. That would also be a waste of IP addresses.
I have a few murky solutions in mind. I would appreciate if someone would shed some light on the issue,
