Considering the purchase of a Linode virtual server

http://crunchbang.org – I don't use Linode, but I have a couple VPSs. I think you'd be fine on the 512. You can always upgrade if you're outgrowing it. (HowTos)

i have setup a new site www.example.org (dummy name) on my linode VPS (i am using ubuntu 10) as below:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@example.org ServerName example.org ServerAlias www.example.org DocumentRoot /var/www/example.org/public_html/ ErrorLog /var/www/example.org/logs/error.log CustomLog /var/www/example.org/logs/access.log combined </Vir

I used to use linode and this is what I had in db file:

ttl 86400 example.com. IN SOA li153-35.members.linode.com. foo.example.com. ( 2011051301 21600 3600 604800 86400 )

example.com. IN NS li153-35.members.linode.com. example.com. IN NS ns1.linode.com.

example.com.

I'm using a linode virtual server. My machine is Ubuntu 10.04.

I got a ticket from Linode that they detected malicous activity coming from my server.

"We have detected your system with an IP of, , scanning a client we monitor.

I have a Ruby on Rails application and a couple of PHP projects nearly complete (all using MySQL) that I'd like to host on a Linode server and need some help with what I'd need to install and configure to do this.

Linode VPS vs. EC2 1 week 6 days ago

I am on a Linode VPS node and have been trying to migrate to EC2. I've experienced a couple of issues:

The server does not have enough space to store the image (N.B. That was with logs included; I tried to slim down the tarball size; see #2).I stopped the server, and when it restarted it had a different IP, and I couldn't log in and see if the tarball was small enough.

I am a relative newby to managing my own server. I set up a Linode a while ago, installed Ubuntu 9.1 (Karmic) followed by Apache, MySQL, my websites, some mods etc.

What I didn't realise was that, not only could I upgrade my version of Ubuntu, but that I should.

As mentioned in the title I tried transferring files between Windows 7 and the samba server running on both Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 but both showed very slow transfer speeds.

Can someone please guide me in the right direction to debug this problem ?

I've been using Linode for over a year now, and, unlike some lesser-known VPS hosts I've used, I've never been required to shut down my VPS by Linode. The only restarts have been ones I've initiated.

How do they go for years on end without requiring restarts and with no downtime? Isn't downtime inevitable when upgrading some parts of the host system?

Hello,

What changes will I need to make, besides getting a separate IP address, so I can host 2 domains on the VPS?

I have a domain hosted on a VPS at Linode (I'm pretty happy with them) and would like to add another domain to the same VPS with its own IP address.
