Managed Server Hosting

Is this is an ISP cloaking site: Host Name: server.anonblog.org/ISP: Managed Solutions Group Inc ?
I have a stats counter on my blog and I started to see this strange host name coming up and was wondering if any one knew what it was? Thanks!

Wow - a lot of info about that site is here. http://www.mildinsanity.com/archives/2005/02/20/trackback-spam-revisited/

I need specs for a Windows Terminal Server for Quickbooks E7?
A company I used to work for asked me to upgrade their network and I'd like to get some input from someone who has a similar setup or has installed one. Since upgrading to Quickbooks Enterprise 7.0, their company file has doubled in size (now 1.5GB), and everything is running a lot slower than it didd with version 5. We had to upgrade to 7 because they had reached the limit in item numbers, which is supposed to be eliminated in version 7. So now we've decided to get a new server and use terminal services on all the clients. We currently have about 9 clients running Windows XP Pro, which we plan to retire and go to thin clients eventually to make the network easier to manage. The new server will host the quickbooks company file (duh) and the clients will connect to it using terminal services. With ten clients, I imagine it takes a lot of RAM to do this. Any help in the brand of computers, specs getting all of this to work would be greatly appreciated. Current Setup: Server: P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB RAM, Windows Server2003 Clients: P4 1.6Ghz, 512MB RAM, Win XP Pro Network: 1Gbit

Just upgrade the RAM in the exisiting server to 4GB. Upgrade all the client systems to 2 GB RAM. You haven't said anything about your disk array, but make sure you're using striped mirror sets and not RAID-5!

Is it possible in dreamweaver to use your web hosts server as a test server for your database connections?
i have managed to set up a local testing server on my pc in dreamweaver, but when i upload the files to my hosts server, none of the database connections work. is it possible to configure dreamweaver to use my hosts server as a testing server? and how?

Use a local testing server. IIS comes with XP, but it's a bit rubbish, and I'm not sure it supports all the programming languages. Get wamp. http://www.viart.com/manual/ViArt_Manual/getting_started/wamp_&_lamp/downloading_wamp.htm

Changing Web Hosting.. To Personal DNS Server?
Hi, I have a domain name www.avgoc.com and couple of subdomains forum.avgoc.com and funstuff.avgoc.com. The domain is hosted on some other network. For specific reasons I wanted to have contorl of the server and have set up my own DNS server with the content. The server is working fine. Now I would like to transfer/redirect the traffic to my server. I have features like Domain Forwarding and Managed DNS where I can set up all the parameters except changing the name servers. I am little confused regarding the name server issue. I have set up the new name server on my personal DNS server as ns.avgoc.com. How do I update the name servers and divert the traffic to use my personal DNS server. For Further information I have taken the screen shots of the configuration and can be accessed via these links: 1. The Managed DNS screen shot http://www.avgoc.com/manageDNS-1.jpg http://www.avgoc.com/manageDNS-2.jpg http://www.avgoc.com/manageDNS-3.jpg

On the first screenshot provided, click on "NS" records. From there, you can change the name server to the ns.avgoc.com. Can I ask why you are happy with your current host? Give my hosting a shot for one month totally free, and I guarantee you'll be happy with the service! http://www.DependableHost.net

can i manage a server using...?
Hello everyone, Question about hosting a sever kinda.... allright i have a computer (of course) that has Windows XP HE SP2 and was wondering 1. if it can host a server that can act as a URL filter (Of course using some sort of 3rd party software) and 2 if I can somehow do it only using 1 NIC and a wreless adapter? thanks in advanced for the info lol 'bfa f' didnt know that but, sorry i am reporting you for point gamming ok this is basicly what i am trying to do DSL -> computer-> wireless router ->to other computers can i do that using the nic to directly connect to the DSL and then connect to the router using the WLan and have a URL filter on the computer?

What you're talking about I think is having the PC act as a proxy server, firewall and such. Having only one NIC requires IP masquerading too. I don't know about Windows, but it can definitely be done with Linux.

dreamweaver-FTP server test connection?
I'm a newbie in using dreamweaver. I already buy domain name and register host server. When I try to manage my site by entering FTP site,directory, login user and password and push the test server button. It Showed : "An FTP error occurred - cannot make a connection to host What's happened? I feel i put all info correctly. Pls help me!!

Make sure your host doesn't have a separate account for FTP this usually is the case for free web hosting, and shared. Also sometimes you may have to format your url like ftp://www.bob.com/ or ftp.bob.com Next, make sure your firewall isn't blocking it Try connecting the old way to see if it's dreamweaver Open up, My Documents (assuming windows vista) type in ftp://mydomain.com assuming it's a .com extension After you have done that just fill out the user and pass information and should login in if not, call the host or write them an email. Always double check passwords, caps lock is a beotch, so yeah. I hope I helped in anyway at all.

What is the most reliable programming language/server for an online based database?
I'm working on a website and hopefully expecting a decent amount of traffic. Mainly, the site will serve as a search portal to other sites in the related category, also, as a sidekick, the site will be hosting multimedia content (live webcams: either Java or Flash based). Database wise, i'm looking for something reliable to manage the clients' profiles along with the users' accounts.

Hey Virtual B - That's a tough one, because the answer is continually changing. For one thing, reliability cannot be accurately measured beyond a certain level. We don't have any fool proof method of examining software for bugs that haven't happened yet. And servers/languages are very complicated. So what we're left with is examining the performance histories of different software packages, hoping that this will be a good predictor of future reliability. However, as any stock market analyst will tell you, "past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future performance." One reason is that servers are continually being upgraded. Another reason is that hackers are continually targeting different servers. So, in the past, most hackers targeted Windows/IIS, simply because it was the most common. As a result, Microsoft started improving their act; the hackers started targeting Linux/Apache. Some people like to say that Open source (e.g. Linux/Apache) is more reliable, due to the fact that anyone can inspect the source code and find potential flaws. In general, that is true, but Linux/Apache may not be sufficiently more reliable that it makes a difference to you. A more important indicator of reliability is how well you do at designing and testing your software. It is far more likely that your coding will be unreliable, and thus far more important than your server choice. In order to make your own code more reliable (which is where you will expend your effort if you are smart), you could try several techniques: - Test Driven Development - Software Design Checkers
