WaREX: I'm trying to connect my recently bought gandi domain name with my vps ip but I'm very confused
a friend of mine not familiar with arp but with other vps's tells me that I have to login gandi and change its dns to the ones provided by arpnetworks
and also
to login to the dashboard of my vps and find some place to configure my DNS's so it resolve to the domain name desired
As of I'm really confused, maybe can someone explain a general brochure of the full process?
jpalmer: WaREX: what is the domain name?
WaREX: jpalmer: xaique.com, at gandi
jpalmer: ok, gandi offers DNS hosting for free, right?
If I remember correctly, ARP doesn't offer DNS hosting, only reverse DNS. so you'll either want to use gandi's DNS servics, or sign up for a free one like http://dns.he.net
I've never used gandi, so, I'd be limited help there. but if you want to signup for dns.he.net, I can walk you through the whole thing

up_the_irons: WaREX: your friend is wrong; we don't provide DNS hosting because every decent registrar on the planet already does so. Go into Gandi and use their DNS service. Tell it your domain name and the IP of your VPS.
dr_jkl: pong

mnathani: WaREX: for future reference if you want to check what A record, MX or Name Server the domain is currently set to: http://dns.mnathani.com/investigate.php?Domain=xaique.com
brycec: lol mnathani # Your IP has been restricted due to excessive access, please wait a bit
(under "Whois report for xaique.com")
mnathani: hmm, brycec: works fine for me now. Probably need to have some sort of caching proxy to prevent those in the future.
brycec: couldn't hurt. but probably not worth it for the "massive" onslaught of traffic you get ;p
phlux: I just host my own DNS
I'm always SSHed in, so I figure why not? My main bind server automagically updates the slaves.
It's nice :)
mnathani: brycec: I actually had it configured earlier, but had only 1 IP so all port 80 traffic would go though my squid proxy then hit 8080 on apache.(Unneccessarily caching all web traffic) Now I have multiple IPs I can separate the traffic that needs to be cached.
mercutio: mnathani: why not cache verything?
mnathani: apache is multiple process, squid, apache traffic server, varnish etc aall multiplex
***: dzup has joined #arpnetworks
mnathani: Limited RAM for one reason. Some of the complex Wordpress / Joomla sites would bring the server to a crawl when caching everything
mercutio: it should be the other way around
you should be able to reduce ram usage
by having less
oh
are you using lighttpd?
jbergstroem: phlux: going for the boost-powered bind 10?
it even has the sqlite's

phlux: haha
negative
mnathani: mercutio: not using lighttpd. I guess most of the Wordpress / Joomla content is dynamic so wouldnt really benefit from caching anyway
mercutio: mnathani i suppose fastcgi witha pool of processes is what i was really thinking of
it can reduce memory usage when having multiple concurrent users
***: Mexicainvexed has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
mercutio: ther'es still a lot of dynamic content too, css style sheets etc and apache will use lots of processes per user these days
because each tcp connection uses separate process

jbergstroem: mnathani: its pretty simple to set up try_files in nginx so you at least avoid serving all static content through that awful ms-files.php

Webhostbudd: anyone have a recommended kvm?
kvm switch*
up_the_irons: IPMI ;)
Webhostbudd: well
im talking about a desktop
with two machines
im sick of running windows with a linux vm i just pull up
and i have the other desktop hardware
overall they seem super overpriced and buggy
so i've been skeptical
i've been highly considering
http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-4-Port-Multimedia-Switch-GCS1794/dp/B001V9LQ52/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1362037662&sr=8-2&keywords=kvm+hdmi
because it seems mostly solid aside from mouse / keyboard issues which can be worked around. I use a standard 104-key keyboard anyway and a standard mouse
the problem i have is that this type of hardware is so infrequently reviewed it's hard to make judgements
and it's not so cheap that I feel like I wouldn't regret buying it
