Cpanel Server is not rebooting

This current admin company is driving me insane! They are literally making my server worse...

I have lost so much money in production time of not being able to develop websites!

This sever is for basic business sites.

So I am moving this server from dedicated self-managed (with 3rd party admin) and now need a fully managed server.

This is just to host multiple websites. so we very rarely have issues on the server.

I need cpanel/whm

I am used to having multiple processors with multiple cores, but they are quite old, so maybe the more powerful processors can beat it?

It's an old server but has been a workhorse for development with no real issues.

i'd like the equivalent or better. Ideally under $200 month ($150 would be great!)

-- is this even possible?

who do you recommend? Any black friday/cyber Monday specials?

Hi friends,

I configured a Cluster DNS with:

-1 Master server (WHM/cPanel)
-3 slave servers (with 3 VPS, cPanel DNSOnly): dns1.mydomain.com -> VPS 1, dns2.mydomain.com -> VPS 2, dns3.mydomain.com -> VPS3

But I have some questions and not found replies in google. I never used Cluster DNS (I always create 3 DNS for each webhosting server). This is the last step for finalize the migration's odyssey and can forgot the old server with her problems. I'll be very grateful if you reply me this last questions:

1- I goes to Master server (WHM/cPanel) -> DNS Cluster -> "Enable DNS Clustering". I need do the same step in Salve servers or not is needed?.

2- I went to Master server (WHM/cPanel) -> DNS Cluster -> Add a new server to the cluster -> Configure -> And I added the 3 slave servers here. I keep the default options: Setup Reverse Trust Relationship = Enabled, Synchronize Zones Immediately = Enabled, Debug mode = disabled, DNS Role = Standalone.

I need do the same step between the slave servers?, for example: go to to slave server 1 -> DNS Cluster -> Add a new server to the cluster -> Configure -> Add the SLAVE SERVER 2 AND 3.

Also I need add the master server to the slave servers?.

My current configuration is: ONLY ADDED SLAVE SERVERS TO MASTER SERVER.

3- The "Standalone" mode is the correct mode? or "Synchronize changes" is better?.

4- I added this 3 new DNS to the webhosting server (WHM/cPanel -> Basic WebHost Manager -> Nameservers). But I see that anybody can add my DNS to her WHM/cPanel and send her Zone DNS to my Cluster DNS. How can I block other webhosting servers and only permit Zone DNS from my webhosting servers?.

Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.

Not sure if this is the right category.. I want to know what makes a server speedy. My issue is, I tried about 6 servers the last 6 months.

Reseller Hostmantis (5$ a month)
VPS cloudcone 10 core 16 GB ram (50$) a month + cpanel (15$) + litespeed (30$) a month
VPS from a dutch guy, 8 core, 16GB ram, directadmin (70 a month)
Cloudcone VPS: 10 cores, 60GB ram, Cpanel + litespeed = like 70 a month).
Wpprovider (claims to have to fastest dutch hosting): 25,- a month.
Neostrada magento hosting (6 core, 8GB ram, cpanel = 20,- a month)

Believe it or not, but the freaking 5$ per month SHARED (!!!!) RESELLER (!!!!!) is the fastest of them all. And I really don't understand how that is possible. Is there anybody who can explain to me what makes a server fast? First I thought it was litespeed, so i bought a litespeed license for by VPS'ses. Then I thought it was the lack of RAM, so i went to Contabo with 60 freaking GB of ram WITH litespeed. And even that is slower if I 1:1 compare it with a 100% duplicated site on that Hostmantis reseller package...

Then a guy from Asia who tried to improve the pagespeed for a webshop copied the site to his dedicated server and the results were INSANELY fast. I asked him his config and he said:

2 X Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650
32 Cores
64 GB ram
2 X SSD Drive

He said he didn't had Litespeed, only Memcache installed.

Is there anybody who can tell me what makes a server fast? Is it the RAM? the CPU? The managing? The location? The LITEspeed/Memcached/Redis? And when does it make sense to get a Dedicated server instead of a VPS?

About me: As side job I build websites. Most of them very easy, 3 page wordpress sites with no visitors. I host about 60. They don't really care about speed, cause they are happy if there are There are some bigger clients (3 with a woocommerce webshop, 1 with a magento webshop) for which speed IS important.

What I would like is
THE FASTEST Server possible for my amount
At least 500GB SSD storage
Managed
Backups remotely (and something like JEtbackup)
Softacalous
Cpanel + WHM (100 accounts)
Budget: Under like 180$ for all (if that is anyway possible).

Hello, I installed ubuntu server on a kimsufi server.
To access the server I used the default password OVH sent me when I installed ubuntu.
It was under the 'secre' page.
I thought the page was there to stay but they removed the page after the first week so I basically lost my password now as I didn't exported the password anywhere.

Starting from 0 it's not a drama since in a week a didn't much, but if possible I would recover the server.

So, at the moment I enabled the recovery mode and get the access to the partitions. I see there are 3 partitions but apparently I can mount only two and one is swap. And in these two I can't find my previous admin user which name is ubuntu.

What am I doing wrong? I attach the screen

Hello is there any guides on how to setup webhosting with cPanel etc on Dedicated Server.
I'm not a big fan of reseller hosters and is there a "limit" when you should register yourself as a business?

Hi friends,

In last MariaDB version have an error which block cPanel Database interface with this message:

The MySQL server is currently offline.
The adminbin “cpmysql” in the “Cpanel” namespace call to function “DBCACHE” ended prematurely: The subprocess reported the “” (255) error when it ended Various sysadmins reported this error in cPanel forum, I too had him.

MariaDB version with error: 10.3.26

For solve him you have 2 posibilities:

1- Outdate to version 10.3.25, I solved him with this command:

Code:

yum downgrade MariaDB-server MariaDB-common MariaDB-shared MariaDB-client MariaDB-compat MariaDB-devel -y

2- Disable this option (this not works always, some sysadmins notified that need change MariaDB version to 10.3.25 for solve the problem):

Code:

WHM » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings » SQL » Use INFORMATION_SCHEMA to acquire MySQL disk usage

You have more information in cPanel forum: https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/th...ffline.474561/

I hope that this problem not broke your servers. Have a nice day.

Rackspace has recently tripled their prices with us after our contract was up. So, we have servers that they are trying to force us to sign a new contract with them for a considerably higher price.

So, with that being said, we need 5 dedicated machines with these specs or similar:

Server Platform: Dual Processor Multi-Core Dedicated Server - Dell R720
• Processor: Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2640, 15M Cache, 2.50 GHz, Hex Core QTY: 2
• Random Access Memory: 128GB
• RAID, Set 1: RAID 1
• Drive Selection, Set 1: 600GB 15K SAS 3.5inch QTY: 2
• RAID, Set 2: RAID 5
• Drive Selection, Set 2: 600GB 15K SAS 3.5inch QTY: 3
• Drive Partitioning: Rackspace Suggested Partitioning QTY: 1
• Operating System: Windows Server 2016 Datacenter 64Bit QTY: 8

We will need about 12 ip addresses per machine.

We will supply our own windows licensing. Drive space cannot be less but definitely would like more space.

They would need to be in the USA. The time frame for 1 machine would be needed as soon as possible whereas the other 4, we will need as time permits to move the data over.

We need reliability, which is something Rackspace does well.

I hope I covered everything.

Thanks!

For a dedicated server that houses 50-200 sites (business sites - no radio/streaming/gaming etc)

What would be the benefit to changing to Direct admin?

Will save some money, but...

Are there complications in switching over?
After the switch...Will there be challenges that make me wish for cpanel again?

have you done this? how did it go?

Do you recommend to or not to do? why/why not?
