how to block web scraping automatically ?

Is it really that great? Is it necessary?

On a dedicated server with cpanel/whm and 50-200 different websites hosted on it. (standard business sites - no gaming, radio, streaming etc)

Why should we add Litespeed?

Not sure if this is the right category.. I want to know what makes a server speedy. My issue is, I tried about 6 servers the last 6 months.

Reseller Hostmantis (5$ a month)
VPS cloudcone 10 core 16 GB ram (50$) a month + cpanel (15$) + litespeed (30$) a month
VPS from a dutch guy, 8 core, 16GB ram, directadmin (70 a month)
Cloudcone VPS: 10 cores, 60GB ram, Cpanel + litespeed = like 70 a month).
Wpprovider (claims to have to fastest dutch hosting): 25,- a month.
Neostrada magento hosting (6 core, 8GB ram, cpanel = 20,- a month)

Believe it or not, but the freaking 5$ per month SHARED (!!!!) RESELLER (!!!!!) is the fastest of them all. And I really don't understand how that is possible. Is there anybody who can explain to me what makes a server fast? First I thought it was litespeed, so i bought a litespeed license for by VPS'ses. Then I thought it was the lack of RAM, so i went to Contabo with 60 freaking GB of ram WITH litespeed. And even that is slower if I 1:1 compare it with a 100% duplicated site on that Hostmantis reseller package...

Then a guy from Asia who tried to improve the pagespeed for a webshop copied the site to his dedicated server and the results were INSANELY fast. I asked him his config and he said:

2 X Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650
32 Cores
64 GB ram
2 X SSD Drive

He said he didn't had Litespeed, only Memcache installed.

Is there anybody who can tell me what makes a server fast? Is it the RAM? the CPU? The managing? The location? The LITEspeed/Memcached/Redis? And when does it make sense to get a Dedicated server instead of a VPS?

About me: As side job I build websites. Most of them very easy, 3 page wordpress sites with no visitors. I host about 60. They don't really care about speed, cause they are happy if there are There are some bigger clients (3 with a woocommerce webshop, 1 with a magento webshop) for which speed IS important.

What I would like is
THE FASTEST Server possible for my amount
At least 500GB SSD storage
Managed
Backups remotely (and something like JEtbackup)
Softacalous
Cpanel + WHM (100 accounts)
Budget: Under like 180$ for all (if that is anyway possible).

Hi friends,

In last MariaDB version have an error which block cPanel Database interface with this message:

The MySQL server is currently offline.
The adminbin “cpmysql” in the “Cpanel” namespace call to function “DBCACHE” ended prematurely: The subprocess reported the “” (255) error when it ended Various sysadmins reported this error in cPanel forum, I too had him.

MariaDB version with error: 10.3.26

For solve him you have 2 posibilities:

1- Outdate to version 10.3.25, I solved him with this command:

Code:

yum downgrade MariaDB-server MariaDB-common MariaDB-shared MariaDB-client MariaDB-compat MariaDB-devel -y

2- Disable this option (this not works always, some sysadmins notified that need change MariaDB version to 10.3.25 for solve the problem):

Code:

WHM » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings » SQL » Use INFORMATION_SCHEMA to acquire MySQL disk usage

You have more information in cPanel forum: https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/th...ffline.474561/

I hope that this problem not broke your servers. Have a nice day.

For a dedicated server that houses 50-200 sites (business sites - no radio/streaming/gaming etc)

What would be the benefit to changing to Direct admin?

Will save some money, but...

Are there complications in switching over?
After the switch...Will there be challenges that make me wish for cpanel again?

have you done this? how did it go?

Do you recommend to or not to do? why/why not?

Hi there everyone,

I currently have a VPS that is hosting approximately 50 cPanel accounts (WordPress sites), and I want to upgrade to a dedicated to host more accounts/WordPress sites.

My question is, what should I focus on: Higher clock speed, or lower clock speed but more cores?

Specifically:

1. Intel Xeon E3-1240 V6 (3.70GHz 8MB Cache) w 32GB DDR4 RAM [4 cores]
or
2. 2x Intel Xeon E5-2640 (2.50GHz 15MB Cache) w 32GB DDR3 RAM [2x8 = 16 cores]

I can't figure it out. The more I Google it, the more confused I get.

Or should I just get a second VPS? The stats for my current VPS is 6 cores @ 2.60 gHz.

Thanks in advance!

PS. Some of the WordPress sites have minimal traffic if any at all, and some have 5k unique visitors per day. Cloudflare and caching is being used on all of them.

Hello,

I've really strange issue with this careless company called Hetzner,

I've server with them for shared hosting, there was abuse for one site on it and they sent me mail to resolve this abuse in only 1 hour or they will block the service for the main server ip .

I've seen this mail after 2 hours, when all of my clients sites has been stop working , I checked my E-mail and i got this message on junk mail (no problem till now)

Then, I've sent reply to Hetzner abuse department, that i have solved this abused issue and deleted the abuse file from my client hosting site,

They didn't reply me for long hours, and keep blocking my main server ip which makes all my clients sites down !!

After that, i sent message to support, Hetzner support replied me with very strange reply !!

Please note that it's 02:20 CET Saturday morning. So currently there's no one available I regret. Most likely they will be back in office by Monday 08:00 CET.

They want me to wait more than 2 days with server down because they blocked it and went to the weekly vacation !!!

How Hetzner imagine the clients can wait more than 2 days with all sites down ? Could a company that respects its customers block server for 2 days till there employee ends the vacation ?

Do you think that clients can trust you again after making them losing there business ?

What is the regret that your company gives ? Does Hetzner really respect its clients ?

It's very bad experience with Hetzner

Good evening, I have a dedicated server on which I installed Plesk (control panel) and Litespeed extension, everything works perfectly, except for Litespeed, more precisely, it is activated as the main web server but when I enter the database (PHPMyAdmin) the webserver is NGINX and I do not understand that it is not Litespeed if it is set as the Main Webserver? Does anyone know how I can solve this or has anyone had this problem before?

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.

Hi friends,

If you have installed Imunify360, you can see in "Firewall -> Black List" that Imunify add here an IP when fail 101 times the captcha requests . 101 is the default value.

I think that maybe this is a very big value: if a user fail 20-30 times the captcha request so is 100% safe that is a bot.

With this command we can change de dafault value:

Code:

imunify360-agent config update '{"CAPTCHA_DOS": {"max_count": 30}}'

You have any other value in your servers?, your recommend me change number of failed captcha request for block better the bots?. Or this can create any issue?.

Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

Hi friends,

Doy you have any method or article for we know monthly traffic and simultaneous traffic that will accept a server?.

This is the server's data:

-CPU: Intel Xeon E5-1650v4 - 6c/12t - 3.6 GHz/4 GHz
-RAM: 64 GB ECC 2133 MHz
-Disk: 2450 GB SSD NVMe
-OS: CloudLinux 7
-Web Server: LiteSpeed

I will host 1 cPanel account with 1 WordPress (nothing more) and I need know if can accept 10.000 - 15.000 simultaneous users.

Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
