Ubuntu Servers :: Virtualization - Small Web Hosting Service
Nov 22, 2010
I've got a small web hosting service, for some of my friends. Where I want my friends to be able to have dedicated virtual servers just for a simple LAMP and ftp-server.
I've got quite limited hardware.
AMD Athlon II (Dual core)
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
100 Mbit Fiber-lan ( Dynamic IP )
What I would want to know is how to create the virtual servers in an truly optimal way. Should I use KVM or VirtualBox? How can I make the request to mydomain.org go to one of the virtual servers and the request to anotherdomain.com go to another virtual server?
If the virtual server is the best solution.
* How much memory should be sufficient for a simple LAMP/FTP-server?
* What would be the most optimal settings for my limited hardware capacity?

I have an Ubuntu Server, a dyndns account and an account with [URL]. My DynDns stuff is all working just great - novo.dyndns.tv is the address. Now I need a domain which I have already bought, to be linked to that machine at [URL] I signed up with freedns.afraid.org and now I am a bit confused at what records to add where. I added a domain - [URL] then setup a webforward as follows: redirect from [URL] and redirect from[URL] to [URL] , however if you go and visit:[URL] you will see my problem! It takes you back to [URL] server and says there is not a webforward setup for [URL]This tells us that the nameservers are all setup fine - and its something in my freedns config which is failing.

After searching I cannot find what I am looking for. My wife has comissioned me to put together a cheap website to highlight her crochet projects. I had used OSX's web site server in the past. where the folder for web sites are in Ubuntu. This would get very low traffic and would be fine on a desktop computer. I see no reason to install Ubuntu server.

First of all, let me just state that i want to make a small server for my home.. which includes hosting a website and a small FTP server.
Now as far as ease, stability, use, etc.. just overall, which would be more ideal to use for this?
My top choices are FreeBSD and Ubuntu Server.
However, I do not know which of these to go with, since this is my first time setting up a server. I hear BSD is really best for web servers, but I would like to hear what the people at LQ has to say.
I know Ubuntu Server would probably be more easy to set up, but how is it in terms of stability and speed?

I'm looking for an inexpensive but reliable web hosting service. Have been using Byet, but they have yet to successfully renew the subscription, so am in the market for another service. It doesn't need to have great tech support, just reliably keep the site up. cpanel, of course, is a plus.

I have just finished bulding a virtual web hosting server on my CentOS-5.5 x86_64 linux box with several websites hosted and its working fine. Now I have to build and FTP service in this webhosting server so that i can create indviudal login for each website and provide access to thier respective web directory only. This is where I am stuck. I have been trying to find out some docs and instructions to achieve this but in vain.
What I need is to configure an FTP service in the web server so that individual owner of websites can login to thieir respective web directories only and upload and download files as well as create, delete and modify the contents of their web directory.

I have around 20 people using it and around 2GB used space. Whats the simplest way to use add a domain and not mysite.no-ip.biz? And make it mydomain.com? What would I need to run it for around 85-100 people?? Min computer specifications & what ever else I would need to make it work correctly. How would I make this more secure I'm using user pro-missions? What is the best software to use. I need to too be user friendly?

I am running Server 10. I have a requirement to perform an action before the MySQL service starts, and perform another action after MySQL service stops.
I found the init script for MySQL under /etc/init/mysql.conf. I added my thing to the pre-start script there and works fine.
I am having trouble finding the script that stops the server so I can modify.

Host: Ubuntu server
Guests: 2 Ubuntu vms, each with Nginx on port 80, a few mongrels (app server for rails) and MySQL
What open source virtualization software do you recommend for this purpose? I am trying virtualbox but heard good things about KVM. I have some questions regarding vbox and posted them on vbox forums - [URL].

There are lots of technologies which are used for virtuaizing such as OpenVZ, Xen, VMWare, KVM.
I tried all except KVM. Is there any web gui control pane which can be used for KVM virtualization ?
Like, HyperVM is used for openvz and xen, vmware have their own control panel web gui

I am leading a project at work that will require at least one new server. There will be a development server and a production server, which changes from development will be rolled onto. Unfortunately, I am more of a web programmer than a Linux guru, and I really don't know whether or not it is better to have two physical servers or two virtual servers on one machine. I don't think there will be a huge toll on the machine, as there will probably be around 1000 total users and less than 100 on at any given time. We are also able to spend quite a bit on the server, so I'm sure one could handle it, but I just wanted to check and see what the advantages and disadvantages would be in this situation.

I have set up UEC and have installed the store images. I have seen that we can create and run instances which are similar to virtual machines. We can utilize virtualization and create virtual machines and thereby fully utilize the server. Not sure what extra benefits or features can be achieved using cloud (say UEC). I suppose I am missing something. Kindly let me know how cloud adds more value than server virtualization.

I've decided to start a new project/second business. Namely, I want to create my own website hosting/design service and I need to know where to start. I've been reading up on some topics related to this, but as far as implementing my idea, I still have some questions. Should note here that previously, my only experience with hosting was putting a page up for a friend via godaddy.com....
I've gotten my hands on a Poweredge 6800, 4 processors 2.8 gHz, (currently) 4 73 gb u320 hard drives. I know that I want to run a RAID setup that allows for redundancy (not sure if I should just set up the 4 drives as 2 disks with mirroring or not). I also for the forseeable future will have to run everything off of one server. With the server came Windows Server 2003 disks and license.
From what I've seen/read, it seems a LAMP server would be the way to go. My main question is this: Since I am running everything off of one server for now, am I right in thinking that Ubuntu Server would be the better way to go for ease of use, and reduced resource usage? Also, is it simpler to use a static IP address from my ISP or the dynamic IP addresses they give you? The final question is this: while I like the idea of H-sphere, are there better all in one hosting apps/control panels that don't have as high a learning curve/hardware requirements?

I have a question about setting up a Modern warfare 2 server. I manage a Ubuntu 9.0.4 web server at home, and a leased cloud server from rack space, and was curious to see if it's possible for me to also setup a CoD Modern warfare 2 server on it as well.

I always used to wonder how do web hosting companies host their websites. My problem is I saw some one having their website.I have a degree in Computer Science. I am not clear as how do these web hosting companies give the logins to their users as root. Meaning how can a hosting provider provide root login to say 1000 users and each having a different IP address.

I want to set up a hosting control panel solution on my Ubuntu LAMP server to make it easier to administer virtual hosts, users, databases, and so on. I'm completely disgusted with how drastically the installation seems to alter your system (I highly doubt it even works at all with Debian/Ubuntu).
I'd actually prefer something that was more than JUST a web hosting manager, but that gave me options for managing my server in general. What control panel option would you recommend?
Most importantly, I want something that's going to work well with the Apache config standards that are unique to Debian/Ubuntu and won't require a PhD to setup. I really like the default Apache/PHP stack in Ubuntu. Of course I'm particularly interested in Open Source solutions. The new OpenPanel project sounds really exciting, and I've heard lots of people talking about Webmin. Others I've heard good things about include VHCS, ispCP, and ISPConfig.

I am trying add three namebased virtual hosts in local apache2 webserver OS ubuntu 10.10. The three sites are :www.site1.eka,www.site2.eka,www.site2.eka
The first I created a file is virtual.conf in conf.d directory its content is :
# we're running multiple virtual hosts.
# NameVirtualHost *:80
Next I created following files in sites-available directory. [URL] is as follows:
#site1.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site1.eka)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.eka
ServerName www.site1.eka
ServerAlias site1.eka .....
When I visit the [URL] in browser it says server not found.

I am trying to get name based virtual hosts all running on HTTPS (port 443) so I can run multiple sites on the one IP.
The DocumentRoot needs to be different for each host.
[URL]
However, I am unable to find where to actually enable these hosts in the configs. The apache website says to put it in httpd.conf however that file is empty on my machine.
The existing default virtual hosts are in "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" and "default-ssl"
The main config file is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
I am running version 2.2.16 of apache
I need to use the same .htpasswd file for all the sites.
I have configured CNAMES on my domain for all of these hosts.

I'd like to have a Linux machine run what Windows users typically call a clipboard as a network service on my small LAN (about 10 machines). More specifically I am looking to have Linux run the clipboard service centrally in the LAN with both Windows and *nix machines able to connect to it as opposed to the peer-to-peer sync model that I am seeing in almost all of the applications I've discovered thus far.

I'm using Ubuntu Server (32bit) on a machine at home. I've bought a domain name(s) via Heartinternet.co.uk and my ISP is Bethere.co.uk I have installed my LAMP Server on my home based server and it's accessible via my static IP address. HTTP is forwarded on my router to my Ubuntu (web)Server. Now then, in laymen's terms, I want my domain name to resolve to my Ubuntu Server. I have installed and configured Bind9 to this guide found online: http://goo.gl/M3Pk i understand that I need to do this in order to 'host' the domain name. Or alternatively, if my presumptions are correct, I could leave the domain name with the registrar and use their DNS config panel to add an A record to point at my webserver (static IP address)???
If I forward port 53 (default for DNS) to my server (after setting up bind9 correctly) and within my domain name hosting options change the nameserver settings to point at my static ip address then would this be enough to host my domain from my home network?
I feel I nearly have a whole picture but...not quite. There's a multitude of vague guides on the internet (vague or I'm not reading them properly!)

I am running vsftpd-2.2.2-3 on my Fedora 12 box. This box has multiple IPs. What I am looking for is make vsftpd listen on those multiple IPs and when a user FTPs to a certain IP, they get landed to the home directory that has been configured for the IP.
This feature is there in Proftpd and is called virtual hosting. I tried to find for Vsftpd such feature, but couldn't find out exactly how to implement in it. how to implement virtual hosting in Vsftpd?

I have some problem in apache2 configuration. I have two websites on same IP on LAN.i.e. 192.168.1.5
[Code]...
What should I check in a few blogs I checked they said to mention in [URL]...But in this case what should I put I have two different websites or what other thing I have missed? I do not have access to DNS so that on LAN I can point site1.abc.com and abc.com to same IP 192.168.1.5 which to me seems could resolve the issue.
