What would you like the hostname to be? Or do you want to keep that private and open a ticket about that?
If I have it something other than rlhanson-online can I still have the CNS for my portion as a reseller?
Are you going to be able to help me get this all set? I don't know anything about this.
can you tell me what you mean when you say CNS?
Your hostname would be something like dragonfly.rlhanson-online.com or any other domain you want to use with a subdomain-like prefix. For example, you are on the Missy server. In the example I gave you would be on the Dragonfly server.
custom nameserver...
I think we are going to put it under our LLC - I'll have to get back to you this afternoon via support ticket once I speak to my partner.
A couple more final questions:
What is the bandwidth transfer on that machine?
And on the 5 IP addresses, can you have ded IP's under each one of those (like my reseller account does on Missy)?
Can you send me all the specs (like what's listed on your normal packages with my partner)?
The transfer is 2000 Gigs/mo
Yes you can use those for dedicated IPs.
I can't really build you a web page right now, but here goes:
Dual AMD Opteron 244 @ 1.8 Ghz
Monthly $199.00
Setup: Free
Primary HDD: 120 GB
Backup HDD: 120 GB
RAM: 4 GB
2 Drive Bays
100 Mbps Port
No KVM
Everything else is the same you see on the site for the other servers.
So, we can add ded IPs to each of those IPs?Quote:
Yes you can use those for dedicated IPs.
If we got Package II, how much would the backup drive cost?
And, can we still do the same reseller account scenario?
I don't know what you mean by adding a dedicated IP to those IPs?
IPs are IPs are IPs. If you want to change a site to use one of those IP addresses instead of the main shared IP, then you can do that. Then, that site would have a dedicated (not shared) IP.
The server comes with 5 IP address. The first one is used for the main shared IP.
The next 2 are used for your private naemservers. Those 2 can also be used for dedicated IPs for web sites but I would not do that unless the sites you put on those dedicated IPs are owned by the same account that owns nameservers, in this case, your account.
That leaves 2 Ips that can be used specifically for dedicated IPs for web sites, or they can be used as a (secondary) main IP for your resellers, instead of them using your main shared IP but that gets more confusing than it is worth usually especially if cPanel is not working like it should in this area which it sometimes does.
You can always add more IPs at any time if yours are all used up.
The price of the backup drive depends on the size of the drive you get, and if you want a one time payment or a monthly payment.
The best way to check prices is go to the order form, and select a server, than play with the various options for harddrives. It will show you the additional cost for primary or secondary drives (or 3rd and 4th drives if you want them) as well as any other addon you might want including RAID.
Yes, you can have resellers on any dedicated server.
Questions from your sister:
1) What does "for the life of the server" mean - Does that mean for the time that we lease or use the server?
Your interpretation is correct.
2) Is the backup drive on the actual server or elsewhere?
It's on the same server. You can put it on another server, but then you would need a second server.
2.5) If data is lost on the dedicated server will it also effect the backup drive?
It depends on what your definition of "lost" is.
If you deleted something and then 35 days later remembered that you wanted that file, the odds are good the file is lost because the backups would also not have that file.
If you mean the primary drive got the "click of death" then the backup drive should contain all your website data. Should being the operative word. You should always have local copies of your data in addition to a remote backup. Or, 2 remote backups. Or in other words, data in at least 3 locations.
If you mean the server caught on fire and melted then yes, both drives would be affected.
3) Can you use other services like Carbonite to backup what's on the server?
I am not familiar with carbonite but if they can connect to a linux server then the answer would be yes, you can use whatever you want. It is your server.
4) On RL Hanson's reseller account she has already paid for dedicated IP's. How does that effect what's on the new server - Can we move and keep the previous dedicated IP's that we already host? How does it effect the previous SSL's?
The IP addresses will change when the sites are moved. The SSL simply get installed on the new IPs.
At least you know we are both "inquiry minds want to know"... if you think it's driving you crazy, you should have seen us when we were little! lolQuote:
Questions from your sister
Your parents must have been very patient :smack:
:crazy2::smash::hammers::clap::rofl:
I personally liked: "If you mean the server caught on fire and melted then yes"
But really - what about the SSL certs I thought it had to be only for that specific IP when it was purchased (the SSL) - so your saying we don't have to purchase new SSLs even though it will be a totally different IP than what was origianlly purchased with?
:) Welcome to the forums and the conversation :)
You don't need to buy new SSLs as long as you have all the information that was sent to you from the SSL provider. The SSL is not bound to a specific IP forever. It can be changed at any time.
cool, that's it for now from me! (famous last words)
But SSL's are domain specific, right?
Hey Matt,
This monthly leasing thing isn't based on a yearly fee or anything is it?
Yes, SSL is domain specific.
No, the dedicated servers are month to month. You can pay a year if you like.
Matt - we're going to order one of these in the next couple of days - we'll submit a trouble ticket along with the order about the server name and account details.
Thank you so much for answering so many questions!
Hi Lynne,
I cant promise I will have either of those dual processor machines I mentioned earlier. I have several people eyeballing them from yesterday and today so if you want one of those time *may* be of the essence.
On the Intel I-V servers listed on the main site, site there are plenty of those to be had so whenever's clever on those machines.
You are welcome :)
No sweat Matt, I think we're going with one that's listed on your site.
How much RAM is in Missy?
Missy has 1.5 Gigs with a max 2 Gig.
Hey Matt -
I have used my client exec license on my reseller account - which will be moving, will I have any issues with that?
Hi, you shouldn't have any problems with it.
How often do you normally backup Missy?
Backups are running every night plus one weekly backup is saved.
Just wanted to put a post on here about our new dedicated server...
We love it!! I've not had any load issues and it's given me leverage to offer a premium hosting experience to my clients.
Thanks GH!
You are always welcome, Lynne. Happy client is the best prize for us. This is how GH works.
