Technology

Our virtual machines run on Linux KVM/QEMU. KVM/QEMU provides full hardware virtualization and is not a hypervisor like Xen.


Why Us?

To emphasize what is different about us compared with most providers:

* We run our own network, which is fully redundant, with over 30 peers, so latency is better than a lot of guys. Also, if we have a problem with one of our providers, it won't fully take out the network.
* Latency to Asia and Australia is especially good because we have peers that feed us direct routes to those regions.
* We're fully IPv6 ready. Each customer gets an IPv6 block by default.
* We try to keep our boxes lightly loaded, no crowding. As such, RAM is not over-subscribed nor is CPU.
* You can compile your own kernel. Most providers make you use theirs.
* Our servers have redundant power supplies feeding into separate PDUs which in turn feed into different branch circuits. These branch circuits also feed into N+1 UPS bays. Power (or lack there of) should not be a reason a server goes down.
* Our newer servers have RAID 10, for the lowest latency in read/write.
* We spend about $5,000 USD for a production VM box. These aren't cheapies you get off eBay, like some of the more "volume" providers out there. In turn, customers benefit from hardware that performs well and has many more years of life in it.
* We've been doing the service provider dance for 10 years. We know our way around networks, systems, data centers, and coding. This experience helps greatly in building reliable services. We're not new to the game like many other providers you see popping up.

setup Ubuntu with VNC for remote desktop

To run a VNC server on your VPS, you need to have the desktop version of Ubuntu installed. The server version, which you are probably running, is missing some required features.

On your VPS, run the following command to install the desktop version:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

While you are waiting for this to install, download the latest version of tightVNC for your OS (it's free), or another VNC client.

After the desktop install is complete you want to make sure GNOME is installed and configured:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gdm

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

In order to remotely control the server, you need to install a VNC server. We are going to be using TightVNC, instaling VNC on your server and your computer.

This step will install tightVNC on the server :

Code:

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver

You can now start the VNC. Note: make sure you set a password and remember it when prompted. The password will have 7 character limit:

Code:

vncserver :1 -geometry 1024×768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565

If you forgot your password:

Code:

vncpasswd

Go a head and turn off the the VNC:

Code:

vncserver -kill :1

We want to configure it so the desktop environment uses GNOME. Open the startup file:

Code:

sudo nano ~/.vnc/xstartup

And add this line at the bottom:

Code:

gnome-session &

Restart your server:

Code:

sudo reboot

Start the VNC again:

Code:

vncserver :1 -geometry 1024×768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565

All of our VNC requests will come from port 590x. The last number is reserved for the desktop number that you assign. We are using 1 (:1) so we only need to open up 5901. If we wanted to start another sever (:2) then we would need to open up port 5902.

On your PC open up TightVNC Viewer. Set the Host to the IP of your server. Set the Display to 1 (:1).
Enter the password that you set when you started the server and connect. You should be remotely viewing your VPS's Ubuntu desktop!

backup software

Raqbackup is EXCELLENT! it will zip everything up and ftp it to the server of your choice on schedule. It also emails you with status reports. Very good script!

It is not free, but I have also had good results with EMC/Dantz retrospect. They used to make a raq client but probably dont anymore. I would assume that any most linux clients would work as it is quite a simple program.

Install and Configure a GUI on your Linux VPS

This seems to be a topic that appears often on the VPS forum, so I thought I would get around to posting a simple instruction set for getting a GUI (GNOME or KDE) working on your VPS.

These instructions are aimed towards the Fedora distribution, but should work fine with CentOS or any other Linux distro (except maybe RHEL, which has some extra steps):

Firstly, make sure that you have YUM installed, if not, you have to go find the RPM for YUM via google or rpmfind.net, and do an "rpm -Uvh <file.rpm>" once you get it. YUM works off python, so it's not a binary just a bunch of scripts (so arch. doesnt matter).

Now that YUM and its required libraries are installed (python, sqlite, etc) execute as root on your VPS command line:

"yum -y groupinstall kde" for KDE or "yum -y groupinstall gnome" for GNOME.

and then:

"yum -y install vnc vnc-server firefox x11-xorg" to install the remaining neccessary applications (VNC, FireFox, X11 libraries, etc).

If your on OpenVZ you might have to: "yum -y remove dummy-selinux-vz" or "yum -y remove vzdummyfc4" first. Oh, also make sure that you have "gpgcheck" disabled in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo, otherwise the KDE installation will fail. KDE is by far the easiest to install, but if you want GNOME you'll have to do some other advanced tricks after the "yum -y groupinstall gnome" step.

Start up VNC server like so: vncserver

This will ask you for a password, and then create your ~/.vnc directory (if running as root, it will be in /.vnc or /root/.vnc or /home/root/.vnc). It is advisable to start up VNC/your GUI as a non-root user, but hey it's your VPS .
Running 'vncserver' will also start up VNC Server and create some temp sockets.

Now, you'll see VNC server is running by executing: "ps -ef |grep vncserver" -- good. Now kill the VNC process like so: "pkill -9 vnc" and then delete the temp sockets by: "rm -rf /tmp/.X1*" -- be careful when running rm -rf as root, you could have a typo and do rm -rf / by accident and destroy your VPS!

At this point you have to go into the /.vnc directory, edit the xstartup file and delete the last line (usually has twm & or something), and replace it with: "startkde &" (without the quotes) -- this tells VNC to startup KDE instead of the default window manager, twm (or whatever the last line was).

Your pretty much done at this point, go ahead and execute the command 'vncserver' again, and VNC will startup, using the password specified earlier and create a default VNC instance on VNC port 1.

Give it a few minutes, depending on your VPS specs, to let KDE start up for the first time. Start up your RealVNC client on your PC, and put in <youripaddress>:1, and it should ask for your password that you put in earlier. If you dont see the KDE desktop, check your xstartup file again in /.vnc and make sure the last line is 'startkde &'.

You can automate the entire process just by stringing along all of the commands in a simple script. This should get you up and running with a nice GUI for your Linux VPS. Keep in mind you need at least 256 MB of guaranteed RAM, do not rely on your "burstable" rate because having a GUI running WILL cause processes/services inside your VPS to be killed because of a lack of memory. If your running a control panel such as cPanel or Plesk on the same VPS, make sure you have at least 512 MB of guaranteed RAM.

If anyone wants to add to the instruction set or has some extra tips or tricks for getting a GUI working properly on a VPS, please share!

How to Restore/Extract Full VPS backup

I've seen many people asking that how they can restore full VPS backup. Because some times due to any prob we got kicked out of our host and we are left nothing (except our backup)

Ask your host to give your full VPS backup in .tar format.

If its big like 50+ GB then it will be hard for you to upload and download, you must ask them to put it on their servers so that you can wget it easily.

Now that you've backup located remote location like -> http://domain.com/backup.tar

Get a fresh new box and install cpanel on it.

now go to ssh.

and put following command -> wget http://domain.com/backup.tar

After transferring full backup, you need to extract it.

Now put following command to extarct your backup -> If its in tar format, then first re-install OS at your new box.
reinstall cPanel.

Now go to SSH, and wget your backup (wget http://backup.domain.com/backup.tar)

after getting it on new machine you need to extract files from it.

Use this command to extract files -> tar tvf file.tar (In place of file put the name of backup)

Now wait for it to get restored.

hope it helps.
