Possible Duplicate: Is there anything I can do about someone who has pointed their domain at my ip? I’m running a dedicated server with own static IP for a while now. Some weeks ago I noticed while browsing logs some domain showing up and I was wondering why. After some playing around with that domain I noticed it’s a full DNS-A hostname pointing at my IP. What’s the reason someone would do that? And is [...]

this is an underpaid employee writing, who’s apparently responsible for all the IT stuff in a very small (non-IT) company. Today said company got a bunch of PCs/workstations, a switch, a computer that’s supposed to be used as a router, two DSL connections (each 16 MBit/s downstream and 1 MBit/s upstream) and a dedicated server which is hosted and managed professionally by a larger local company with some decent connection speed (1 GBit/s both directions [...]

Atm i have a domain example.com, it uses dedicated server, and it uses “ns1.example.com” and “ns2.example.com” as nameserver. Now i want to change to another dedicated server (with different IP obviously). How to shorten DNS propagation effect so that all visitors that open my domain will be pointed to the new server quickly? At this moment i am lowering the TTL value on old server (to 5 minutes) hoping that once i change the nameserver, [...]

Having worked for weeks on a new mobile app product, we are finally preparing a public launch in the coming weeks. However we wonder if our Europe based servers will be good enough (latency, etc.) for american users. Tested on dotcom-monitor.com and we got around 150ms for CA. Is it good enough? We are exploring EC2 options but it is way more costly than local dedicated hosting, and I’ve been told that you should not [...]

I own a dedicated Server in OVH, and my DNS are : Primary DNS : ks221074.kimsufi.com Secondary DNS : ns.kimsufi.com My OS is Centos 5, and I don’t have a strong experience with Linux, I installed WHM/cPanel in the server. I want to create an alias DNS eg : ns1.domain.com, ns2.domain.com so my clients can point they domain names to ns1.domain.com, ns2.domain.com, instead of ks221074.kimsufi.com, ns.kimsufi.com. I have 2 additional IP adresses. Asked by McShark [...]

Does it still make sense to setup your own failover system (HAproxy + 2 or more servers for example) when self healing cloud seems like a practical solution? They seem to do the same job or am I missing something? Asked by IMB You’re missing something. Specifically, the difference between High Availability (and the degrees thereof) and High Capacity/Scalability. A “self-healing cloud server” (also known as “a machine that reboots itself” — hardly high technology [...]

Now that self-healing cloud servers are becoming more and more popular, I am currently torn between the decision if I should setup a HAproxy failover for my VPS or if should save myself the trouble and just put my sites on a self-healing cloud server. Does it still make sense to setup your own failover system (HAproxy + 2 or more servers for example) when self healing cloud seems like a practical solution? They seem [...]
