Maybe I was unlucky. edit: vvvv It wasn't a Lithium VPS, honestly the cheap VPS thing isn't for most people and I don't actually run our website on one anymore, although it was these guys.

If you have issues, let me know, or submit a ticket. A fresh wordpress install shouldn't be slow or have any issues.

DarkLotus posted:If you continue to have issues, let me know so I can look into it. Yep will do. As I mentioned a couple posts ago, I'll see how it is once I have everything rolled out. I don't mind upgrading the hosting package for a bit more if it's necessary/available. Since I'm on the Lurker package, you can only expect so much.

Didn't want to really create a new thread for this question so I figure I'd ask here. I'd like to turn my default wordpress "index" page into a template and use it's layout\settings for a new page that I add to my wordpress site. Does anyone know which page that actual index is which holds all that information? Index itself just calls a ton of stuff and actually doesn't have the page\style in it. Figure I'd ask here before I start digging through all the documentation.

I have a Linode with Ubuntu Server 12.04. What's the best way to setup jailed users? Actually, what's the best way to setup permissions in an environment where nginx runs as www-data and needs writing access for wordpress updates/plugins? Right now www-data owns everything which works but makes it hard for me to edit the files without using sido (even though my user is part of the www-data group). Now I'm trying to setup a couple of more accounts for a couple of collaborative sites where I need them to be able to edit the files via Filezilla without being able to see outside the site folder. I was able to set it up with vsftpd but I know that I shouldn't be using ftp for that kind of thing, and it doesn't really work anyway due to permissions issues. So, what's the best way to setup a hosting environment?

We're outgrowing our Hostgator VPS. We've got a Level 5 VPS with them right now (2.69GHz, 1.8GB RAM, 80GB HDD, 1425GB bw). We're only using about 60GB of drive space, however we're dangerously close to hitting the 1,000,000 inode limit. We are trying to decide now if we would be better off to get a second VPS and try to split everything between the two (possibly switching to a level 3 and a level 4 instead of 1 level 5), or making the hop to a dedicated server. The cost of 2 VPSes would come to about $130/month, but I'm also taking a RAM and cpu hit on both of them by downgrading. The cheapest HG dedicated server is $174/month, and gives me 4GB RAM and 500GB HDDs in RAID1 with cPanel. I can't decide the best course of action. Obviously if there is a better provider out there, I'm open to that option as well. I've just been sticking with HG since we started out with them many years ago.

I wouldn't stay with them, 4GB ram for 200 is way over normal costs even with some handholding..

$174 is not $200, for one. For two, if HG uses enterprise hardware for their servers, you're really not going to get a significantly better deal, though I can't speak to the quality of customer service they offer. A comparable server at SoftLayer is $219, though admittedly SoftLayer is a poor choice for entry level. If Maniaman doesn't want server management and is okay with consumer grade hardware, yeah, he can definitely get a server for a fraction of the price, and if he's okay passing on one or the other, there's probably a good deal to be had somewhere. Looks like a similar setup would be about $160 at Limestone with "standard support", whatever that means. Though it does include 5GB of backup space, which is pretty nice. If you bump that one up to "managed" support it's about $200 also. E: to be clear, I probably would not get a dedi from HG, but the price isn't totally out of line if the hardware is good, which if I recall they get everything from SL, so it probably is.

I was thinking about starting up a website for a hobby. Most of the content such as videos would be hosted off my youtube account, only thing the site would be hosting of any substantial size would be the pictures in the guides/how to's. I was looking at hostgator for the cost/feature ratio, but skimming some of the thread doesn't leave me with many good impressions. Just looking for a basic wordpress site hosting. Checking out lithium hosting right now, might sign up for the one month free trial sometime this week.

I was able to free up a good chunk of inodes by going through and nuking the accounts that have been suspended for over a year for non payment. Now I just need to figure out why that isn't happening automatically. It's a temporary fix, but should buy us a couple more months.

We're only using about 60GB of drive space, however we're dangerously close to hitting the 1,000,000 inode limit. Keep in mind that nearly every webhost (including HostGator and Softlayer) will allow you to email sales for a sales quote. Now, HostGator didn't have much leeway when it came to their Softlayer servers, but since they no longer host at Softlayer they may have more or less. I'm not with them any more, so I'm not sure things have changed. Anyway, with that said I think $174 for such a basic server is pretty bad unless you need the bells and whistles they come with (cPanel, support, 10TB bw). I'll always root for HG support, it's fast and they'll fix just about anything you throw at them. I recently started SSD VPS hosting and I found the best deals for dedicated hardware were between DataShack, HiVelocity and PhoenixNAP. Between these guys it came down to pretty weird differences, like data at PhoenixNAP was way more expensive than the others, but RAM significantly cheaper. You've got to throw everything into a spreadsheet and do a cost analysis. I have a server that absolutely blows that $174 server away from HiVelocity (including RAID 10 SSDs, 32gb ram) and I'm not paying significantly more than that Softlayer server. Edit: If you decide to go with HiV, shoot me a PM and I'll forward my sales guys info. He gave me a pretty good deal. vty fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Dec 12, 2012 |

I'm looking to set up a swiss army knife on a remote server; someplace where I can park a domain name and run a blog/e-mail server/remote file storage/VPN host if I'm browsing from unsecured networks. Just random little things that are easier to do with a remote host and a static IP than to try to run from home. Where I run up against some issues is when I'm trying to determine just how much oomph the server will need to handle that. The services on their own are all pretty small, not trying to run Minecraft or anything off of it, but I don't want to pay for too weak a server. My other issue is that I don't know of a good Dropbox-ish remote file storage program where I can dump files on my server to make accessible to other people. I know there's this amazing new program called FTP, but I'm looking for something with a HTML interface so I can access it from browsers if I'm not at a computer that can FTP. Same deal for a VPN forwarder program; poking around just found programs meant for running off your home Windows computer, not for being on a linux VPS.

Just because I'm curious, why is KVM so superior to OpenVZ unless you wanted to compile your own kernel?

DNova posted:can't make a swap partition Not entirely true now. RHEL6-based kernels introduced the ability for VSwap: http://wiki.openvz.org/VSwap We've been experimenting with it at HostDime and might offer it sometime soon by default on our plans. I personally prefer Xen/KVM for virtualization also due to the client segregation and general concept of hardware virt, but I think OVZ is good in a pinch. Also, if the provider you use monitors their nodes well and maintains some semblance of abuse control, it can be quite stable.

Throwing in a recommendation for http://afterburst.com/ (Formerly Fanatical). I've been with them for over a year on the "Huge" plan and I can honestly say I have no complaints. They offer servers located in Germany and the US. Their prices, in my opinion, are spot on. The servers perform fine, as far as I can tell they haven't oversold on any of the nodes I've occupied, they're big enough so you don't have to worry about buying a server for a year and them going under 3 months later, and most of all they aren't tight-arsed concerning their unmetered data. They have a fair usage policy (as most hosts that offer unlimited anything would), and I still haven't found where the line is drawn. I've gotten up to 9 terabytes in one month and haven't got an email from them. Speed test: code:

tbh I'm not even sure how it's possible. Maybe there's some kine of OpenVZ trickery that I'm not familiar with. They say they use 4 1TB drives in raid 10. the fastest 1TB drive I found on Tom's Hardware is a velociraptor that hits 210MB/s for peak reads and writes.
