SpazRobot posted:You'll get even more spam that way. Once the spams for "akjsdhdklashj@yourdomain.com" start rolling in you'll probably want to set up a whitelist Even worse than this is when a spammer realizes that you have your account set up this way, and starts using your domain as the forged From header so that bounce messages are actually accepted and the spammed mailserver thinks it is actually from you. Even properly setting up DKIM/SPF/DMARC isn't particularly effective and doesn't deter the spammers.

After five months of hosting with Apis Networks I have cancelled and moved to Linode. I do not recommend Apis Networks for anyone planning on using PHP. I experienced issues getting PHP to report errors rather than serve a blank page. Referencing multiple PHP and .htaccess methods of turning on this feature, I never fully resolved the issue. The tech support I received was mediocre. Following their instructions exactly did not solve the issue. Frustrated, I looked for a new host. I have known of Linode for some time, but the prices were too steep for small projects. Deciding to give it a try, I set up a node with Nginx, PHP FastCGI and MySQL. Having root access is a breath of fresh air after using shared hosts for years. I doubt I will be leaving Linode any time soon, unless a competitor can provide better specs for the price. Side note: pages are loading 5-10x faster on Linode than on Apis Networks. The Linode data center in CA may be much closer than Apis Networks (I reside in WA) but I doubt it would make such an impact.

There are plenty of VPS providers that will provide better specs for the price - ramnode, digitalocean, serveraxis are a few that comes to mind. I think DO has a coupon floating around that will give you $20 credit, which is enough for 4 months of hosting on a 512mb/SSD VPS. I am going to stick with Linode because they're proven, and aside from that bitcoin thing, have a pretty good track record. The way backup works is handy as well. If stability is not critical to you, then you can have a look at serverbear, which lists the various vps options along with benchmarks.

tj9991 posted:After five months of hosting with Apis Networks I have cancelled and moved to Linode. I do not recommend Apis Networks for anyone planning on using PHP. I handled your issue. The problem was two-fold, first you designated a separate file to log errors outside the default, which merges Apache and PHP errors into /var/log/httpd/error_log. Ownership of the log file precluded the HTTP server from logging errors. Permissions still was not changed when I examined your setup further. Second, the error reporting level configured via .htaccess was downgraded, which excluded E_WARNING and E_NOTICE types (9999 or so if memory serves me correct). Only fatal errors would have been logged even if permissions were corrected. PHP documentation recommends using 2147483647 as your error_level in a .htaccess directive. Odd you had such a speed discrepancy. If you still want to troubleshoot speed issues, send me a PM or e-mail with your IP and traceroute to 64.22.68.16, which is based in Atlanta. It may be a gross exaggeration as server loads are minor, around 0.25-0.5 on Helios around the clock. edit: E_NOTICE/E_WARNING nem fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Feb 21, 2013 |

We offer permanent 20% discounts to Goons and according to some testimonies we have bested Linode in performance.

I actually went with virtualmin and its been working great. I got a WHMCS license and it seems like I may actually be able to make some extra money rehosting my vps. I still have plenty of cpu power after setting up my websites and minecraft server so if I can pay for the VPS it would be perfect

This probably isn't the right thread but I can't find a better one so I'll try here. I'm trying to migrate my web server from IIS 7.5 (on Server 2008 r2) to IIS 8.0 (on Server 2012) using the Microsoft Web Deploy extension thing. It makes the zip and that seems fine, but when I try to import it I get this error: ERROR_FRAMEWORK_VERSIONS_DO_NOT_MATCH. The specific text is: quote:The versions of the .NET Framework Configuration Provider (machineConfig64) are different on the source (2.0) and destination (4.0). Looking at the deploy package contents, there are four properties that are coming out with a value of 2.0: .NET 32-bit root Web configuration .NET 32-bit machine configuration .NET 64-bit root Web configuration .NET 64-bit machine configuration I vaguely understand what these represent but I can't work out where to change them to 4.0 instead of 2.0. I tried disabling the "Framework Mismatch" rule during the import but the same error still appears. Or is there an easy way to move my site without Web Deploy maybe? It's nothing complicated, just some forum installs. I don't even use ASP.NET at all, everything is PHP. If anyone has ideas I would be extremely appreciative, I've been bashing my head against this for hours and getting nowhere. Thanks!

I apologize in advance for this possibly dumb question, but I'm just starting to learn about all this stuff. Right now, I've got my personal site/CV/portfolio thing hosted on my school's server space, but I think I'm going to subscribe to Lithium to move my stuff off the school server. The $10 plan looks like it will work for me, since I doubt many people will be visiting my site. My question is about Domain stuff... I noticed that a few of you suggested using a separate domain registrars and hosting services. Why is that? Also, is there an advantage to paying ~$15/year for a domain with Gandi.net instead of paying ~$9/year with Internetbs.com. I saw that DarkLotus said that Lithium gives you ownership over your domain name. Is that the same thing as buying from Gandi/Internetbs/etc.? Sorry again for the dumb question. I'm just trying to figure this stuff out.

It doesn't really matter where you register your domain from, they all function exactly the same. However, some will include value added services such as making your name and address details private, since they are otherwise publicly available. It's just good practice to register your domain elsewhere, so that if your web host ever disappears or becomes sketchy, you still have control over it and can point it elsewhere. You technically should have ownership over your domain even if your host registers it for you, it's just that some are sketchy about it.

I'm trying to implement DMARC on one of my domains. I'm running into problems but I'm not sure why. When you send someone money, paypal email the recipient apparently "from" your address: pre:To: fred smith <fredsmith@hotmail.com> From: milkie galore <milkie_galore@milkiegalore.com> Sender: sendmail@paypal.com Subject: You've got funds. Received: from mx0.phx.paypal.com (mx1.slc.paypal.com [173.0.84.226]) I sent a hotmail user money using paypal yesterday. I've just had a DMARC report from hotmail which says the paypal message was quarantined because it failed DMARC: pre:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I've got a business website that's been on shared hosting for a several years and that's working out fine at the moment, but as the inventory shifts more and more from tangible stuff to digital content, I think I'm going to need something else eventually. I was looking at VPSes, but before I jump in for real, I was wondering if anywhere offers a cheap "toy" VPS that I could play around with and figure out how it works. I've had websites since the mid '90s, but never anything that wasn't fully managed by the host and all I had to do was FTP files to it. Also, are there any good tutorials or other documentation that explain... whatever it is I need to know? Like, from the ground up -- assume I know nothing at all.

You can get one for literally 2 or 3 dollars if you watch LowEndBox.com, there was a DigitalOcean coupon where you basically get 3 or 4 months service free. If you want tutorials, any basic Linux tutorials will do, but check out the Linode Library - http://library.linode.com It's generic enough help that you can use on any server, virtual or not.

I want a VPS to toy around with, but how are they for also actually hosting a webpage. It's just going to be a small personal site, with low traffic, but is it enough of a pain that I should also get cheap shared hosting for my site. I don't want to have to spend a ton of maintenance time just to keep the personal site up.

Throwing it out there again - betaForce (VPS hosting) is goon run, our goon clients say they enjoy the performance better than Linode, plus we have web-anything-specialists on staff. Oh and 20% off permanently for goons. We're in the OP and here's our SA mart thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3508988 Look at the testimonials and give us a shot. We offer a risk free trial as well. As for low end box, yeah. We advertised our ultra budget boxes on there and got featured on the front page. We were flooded with so many scammers from China and Brazil trying to sign up. I think we got 1 legit client from it. Total waste of effort.
