I have a client that’s wanting to install multiple Ikon Board installations on his VPS. He wants to host approx 25 diffeirent domains, each with their own installation.

His current VPS is 10 gigs space/256 RAM and 300 bandwidth. Bandwidth isnt an issue, as all the sites will have virtually zero traffic initially, and probably for a while. I’m more concerned with the server load of the “empty” installations. Of course as the forums gain traffic, he’d be required to either move to a dedicated box (or multiple boxes) and/or order additional VPS’s

I’d be interested in anyone’s feedback on what they think a realistic limit is, for a single vps.

thanks!”Empty” forums don’t cause server load. Busy forums do. If he’ll transfer busy forums to new hardware, I don’t see a problem.

since futurehosting, my web host provider, is odviously retarded about how to setup their own equipment, I need some help from you guys.

on a VPS, don’t I set up all domains to use the same nameservers?

like:

ns1.tcoburn.com

ns2.tcoburn.com

for all the domains on my VPS? isn’t that what I do?

because for some reason, I am not able to ping my other domain

crohnsdaily.com, am I supposed to create ns1.crohnsdaily.com ns2.crohnsdaily.com for those too? because I thought I was supposed to use the same nameservers for all domains, I am confused.

my registrar is godaddy, and I know how to change IP addresses for NS1 and NS2 in godaddy, what I am asking is, on VPS’s, don’t you use the same nameservers for each domain on the server?Do you have a control panel?

And did you setup the domain host with godaddy to use the correct ns and ips?I have cpanel.

in Godaddy.

under “TCOBURN.COM” domain,

under “Domain host summary”,

I setup

NS1.tcoburn.com to use my primary IP

I then setup

NS2.tcoburn.com to use my second IP

then under CROHNSDAILY.COM

I setup the nameservers to be:

NS1.TCOBURN.COM

NS2.TCOBURN.COM

and left “Domain Host Summary” alone

then in WHM, under the DNS stuff,

I have zones for both ns1.tcoburn.com and ns2.tcoburn.com

and under the crohnsdaily.com zone, crohnsdaily.com is pointing to ns1.tcoburn.com and ns2.tcoburn.com

so I don’t understand whats wrong with my crohnsdaily domain? why its not pinging even?

even if cpanel/WHM BIND is setup wrong, shouldn’t I at least be able to ping crohnsdaily.com? it should at least try to ping the IP right? but its not, does that mean it setup wrong at godady then?If I remember correctly, the domain host summary is the dns you will use for all your hosted domains. Once you set that up, all other domains will use that ns.

So setup your domain host nameservers, then ensure the other domains are using that nameserver info as well.Let me chime in and respond to the concerns:
1. There is a ticket on hold with this problem. To clarify for you: you can use ns1/ns2.tcoburn.com for all your domains. This is how you currently have it setup according to dnsstuff.com
2. The domain resolves and pings for us from various locations in the U.S.
3. There was a problem with one of our new OS templates (used on a few accounts) which this account was setup on that caused the VPS to crash. To fix the issue we changed the OS template and copied over his domains to a new VPS with new IPs - so there is a need to wait for DNS propagation. A flushdns on your local computer may resolve this for you sooner. The new IPs had an rDNS setup from a former SoftLayer user that was still saved on the settings when the IPs was assigned to us and the user was able to see this. Although this doesn

After having all of my websites hosted with a reseller account in the states I recently decided to upgrade to a VPS account, preferably one based in the UK or Europe. I looked at a number of VPS providers including interhost.co.uk, vpsland.co.uk, boltconnect.co.uk, eurovps.co.uk and solarvps.co.uk.

After reading about Windows VPS I decided that I wanted to 512Mb of memory so solarVPSs Jupiter VPSW seemed right for me but the transfer was far higher than I required. So, after a little negotiation via their live chat I placed an order with them for the Jupiter VPSW package but with a lower storage capactity and data transfer and lower price.

So far the performance of the server has been excellent and actually being able to jump on to the server via remote desktop has been a great help compared to the limitations of my previous reseller hosting. Their european data centre seems to have some good connectivity, I get pings between 10ms and 20ms on my home connection and it didn’t seem to be phased by my employers JANET connection, I couldn’t actually see how long it took to download a 10Mb file as it had downloaded too quickly.

The thing that has impressed me the most so far is the support that they provide, it is far beyond what I had expected at this price point. Ross, Bob, Claudiu and the rest of the team have managed to answer all of my tickets promptly and generally within the hour, though sometimes a lot faster. Not knowing a great deal about hosting itself they’ve helped me set everything up through Plesk and have even been helping me with some code problems that I’ve had which are well outside of the scope of their support.

Iv’e not long been with solarVPS but they’ve managed to impress me so far and I look forward to being with them for some time to come.I will second the positive review of them, had a good experience while I was hosting with themI have been with them for about 6-8 months and they are excellent.Sure, its about our 7th month with them with more than VPS (Linux
