Hi,

how can I find or create support phone password for my server at hetzner.

one of my server is down for 9 hours, contacted telephone support at Hetzner, they asked
me to contact hetzner data center support, DC support is asking for phone password which
I dont have, or cant find anywhere.

what should I do, I did open tickets in robot but no use so far.

I rented a dedicated server about 6 months ago and at the beginning it wasn't really any issues.
Heres the downtime report https://i.imgur.com/mE5V2eJ.png

At the beginning i encountered few downtimes but that was due their network being compromised and it can happend sometimes and the owner promise they will upgrade their infrastructure to fix this issue.
After few months after, my server lost power and rebooted. The owner replied back that they will fix this issue but the same issue occured again however their provided reason at that time was because their UPS malfunctioned.
Few more downtimes after that incident, they said, fire department told them to shutdown their power, while their electricity provider had an occuring issues beyond their help. Excuses keep piling on and its almost as if they dont even have UPS.

Last year october and november my server started to randomely reboot with seemlingly no explanation. I hired sysadmin and they couldnt find an issue. They suggested this could be a hardware issue. Due to the hardware parts it would take provider months before the provider can replace all the hardwares so i had to wait.
And waiting i did, and until when the day finally arrived. From all my exchanges with this company, ive only talked with the actual owner. This seems to be really a one man show. Worst is that this owner is incompetent.


So we went through with the server swap, changing ssd to the new server hardware. However issue occured with the new hardware enviroment not recognizing my ssd partitions. Sysadmin couldnt do much in rescue mode as they cant gain the error logs which dracut provided in the failure mode.
The issue is that the dracut log is generated in a volatile disk path so ifwe rebooted the logs would be gone.

The owner had significant issues where the server didnt recognize the flash drives so we couldnt export the logs.
This was a 24 hours conversation exchange. We litterally end up googling. Even the owner was googling and asking if a centos forum post could be the solution.

I asked if they can setup a KVM so my sysadmin can access the dracut logs.
24 hours after, the owner still has problem setting up kvm.
That was my last patience with this provider. I told him to change back to the old server hardware and the server was online again. I ordered a new server from a different provider(reliablehostingservices.net) and did rsync and terminated my server with dedioutlet.

The sheer amount of incompetence is just baffling. Owner googling for solution, trying to ask his "developer" on how to fix kvm setup to no avail.

I have some servers at Hivelocity, since 2017.

No network problems, 100% uptime, excellent hardware and support.

Yesterday, after 2 or 3 years, one of the backup disks on one of my servers, failed.

I opened a ticket asking how to change to a new HDD. To my surprise, the support offered the possibility to clone the disk to try to recover the data. Despite being a backup disk, it would be good to recover, as I had left some old accounts there.

Then they removed the HDD and cloned it in 3 hours, for a new HDD. And it worked! all recovered data. Of course, it will not always be possible to recover, it will depend on the problem that the HDD presents.

And during the whole process, the Hivelocity support team was very active, I scheduled to shut down the server after 7PM (so they can insert the new drive) and minutes before they wrote saying "we are ready to install the new HDD, you just have to shutdown the server". Never, but never, have I seen this type of concern with the customer, in the datacenters where I have been. I'm in this market this 2004, I had servers at The Planet, Layered Tech, Host Dime, LiquidWeb, and so many others that don't even exist anymore.

I've had servers in other companies, which were managed, and I didn't have support like that. My servers at Hivelocity have no management, but they go beyond what was expected, gave me all the support from beginning to end of the process, offered the data recovery service for free and even warned that they will save the old HDD for a week, for any emergency.

Thanks Hivelocity, I only have one thing to ask: keep it up, "this is the way".

Hi All,

I need a server (to start with) where I can do solution demos and build acceptance platform to perform upgrades etc.
For example, say a hosting company wants to design a solution where they want to move into ceph and openstack . and want a demo of how it looks like and how it works .. those are built virtually .. so this server will host a lot of virtual machines .. like 3x controllers, 3x ceph mons, 4x ceph osd, 4x hypervisors , 1x storage, 1x router , 3x object storage etc .. . you get the idea..

I already have a few servers from a provider, but the prices are getting higher, so I am just checking out what I can get. (maybe I am paying more)

Requirements:

at least 24 threads .. the more the better .. but not more than 40 threads ( can be amd or intel ) 1x ssd disk for the OS (can be 480gb min) and 2x 1 TB nvme .. ( i do not need raid , this has no customer data) 128 gb of ram Unmanaged kvm/idrac access preferred . but not a necessity. OS to be installed is ubuntu-focal minimum with only ssh enabled via ssh-key Bandwidth -- 99% incoming -- imagine 20-30 virtual-machines doing apt-get every week or doing git clone from github every few-days as a part of their build .. .. the only ports open = ssh and https ( say 1-2 hours per month, when a public demo is required) ... IPs - one for the main server, 3-4 additional Location: Europe preferred, but US is also OK.

Please do not ask me for a budget. But feel free to post your recommendations.


Thanks.

I bought a kimsufi and I need to use the desktop version. The problem is I don't find any desktop template. I'm pretty sure it was there few years ago, why?

I have been trying to find server admins for a Cpanel dedicated machine.

I find my experience has been the following in the last few years.

1) CHEAP -- great if nothing is needed. Low skills, low service. Outsourced to 3rd world countries. Only really available to do work during flip-flop hours (I am in USA). Never worth it in the end.

2) Affordable with either

a) GREAT service and low skills (still outsourcing to cheap freelancers?)
or
b) Poor service and low skills

3) Individual, who's pricing changes, availability changes, or business communications are not fully professional.

Is there anyone out there that has GREAT SERVICE and DECENT Pricing? or do I just need to bite it and pay $200 a month (twice the cost of the server lease) for decent administrative services?

My most recent and present experience is with a provider here from WHT. They are in the EU. Their reps log in from Germany and Greece. Usually in the US daytime, work is not done.

They told me they were UNABLE to repair the Kernel. Somehow, a previous admin had installed kernalcare and they claim it was removed and now causing errors in csf/lfd. (they didn't know how to fix it)
My only solution was to reinstall os or buy a New server from them.

Let me add, they were very pushy on how "old" my machine was and that was the reason support was slow.

they had problems backing up the system and couldn't guarantee it would work right again unless I bought anew server from them.

I didn't, they are in the EU and I am in the US, so not worth the GDPR compliance hassles.

So Did the reinstall with my DC.

Guess what, same problems...and more. For days. Their "pro-active" admin didn't catch these errors. I had to report them. eventually many of them got them fixed.

Except now, most sites are NOT working properly.

Basic things like .htaccess file and default.htm not recognized and working.

They told me because there are so many possibilities of php/configurations, we need to go through every site and test every function, then let them know, site by site, issue by issue.

Except they all worked fine before...

I have lost a LOT OF TIME and MONEY with this.

So, now, once again, looking for a company that can work with CPANEL and not blame the last admin or the server on their inability to manage it.

Anyone else have this issue?

how did you resolve it, just keep trying and trying, month after month with company after company?

Normally, I would just go with a dedicated machine that came with management. I didn't have these problems when I did. But the servers cost 3 times as much.

I guess I am asking, am I missing something or Is this just part of saving money on a dedi? No way around it except to just pay for the topline?

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.
