Running a number of websites

I have Server 10.4.3 running on a G4 Dual with TONS of storage (some internal and some Firewire 800) and would like to understand better the risk and securty concerns over hosting my own domains.
Today, I have a colocated server that is underutilized and costing me a fortune - so I thought I might save a few dollars and host the site locally.
What are the security implications that I should be aware of and should I be concerned that this system would also be housing my user information?
I realize that I may have asked a number of questions, but any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you!

My residential lines are MUCH faster than my business line.
Cost of business line 6Mb/1Mb = $239 .. Cost of home line 8Mb/? $40.
Are you sure about that? Don't forget that in this case (running a server) what's important is the 'upload' speed (from you to the internet), not the download speed. It doesn't make much difference whether remote users can send ('download') requests to your web server at 1mpbs or 8mbps if your upload speed (to them) is 512kbps on each account.
In the case of a 6M/1M commercial line, you get a 1mpbs uplink.
That residential account probably doesn't have any more, and probably has a lot less.
In addition, it's not the basic service you're paying for. It's the extras like static IP addresses, DNS hosting and support - if your line blows at 8pm I can guarantee you'll get a different response from the cable company if that's a commercial account @ $239/mo rather than a residential account at $40/mo.
The commercial account will get serviced and be back online within a couple of hours. The residential account might be back up by the end of tomorrow.

  • I have lost track of the number of websites that do not work properly on the iPad without Adobe Flash player which is unsupported. I cannot use retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. All are missing tabs, links, info

    I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

    Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
    IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.

  • Run any number of re-entrant VI's

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a VI that will concurrently run any number of re-entrant subVI's. After looking at many examples, the one that best replicates the behaviour I want is found at \examples\general\Reentrant Panels.llb\Reentrant Panels.vi.
    My problem is that this example only runs up to two subVI's. How would I change this behaviour so I could run as many as I wanted? For loops don't seem to work because the first subVI must be stopped before the next will be run, and I need them to run concurrently. Here are a couple methods I've tried (all using for loops):
    I've also attached the Labview example in case you don't have it.
    I haven't yet found any examples or posts that achieve this behaviour, and I'm fairly new to this area of Labview, if you could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!
    Solved!

    Thanks a lot , I changed int click to long and its
    working fine.I am wondering why the Java Platform
    didnt throw an error or exception for overflow.Because the Java specification calls for it not to do that but instead to do what you saw and rollover.

  • CF10 App server running after reboot; but website unavailable until service restart

    Hello, everyone.
    I recently returned to a job I previously had after several months at a different job.  Upon my return, I inherited someone else's dev system (my previous dev system, apparently, had been reimaged and given to someone else, after I left.)
    This system originally had CF9 server on it (the ColdFusion9 folder is still here) and now has CF10.  Using the built-in web server (no IIS, no Apache.)
    Every time I boot/reboot the system, I can see in Computer Manage System that CF10 Application Server is, indeed, running.  But if I try to open any of the pages that I am working on, I get an error message that the site can't be found.
    I go into Computer Manage System, go to Services, right-click the CF10 Application Server, choose "Restart", wait for it to finish, and voila!, I can get a working page.
    Does anyone know why this is happening, and/or how to remedy it so that CF will work immediately after boot/reboot without going to restart the service?
    Thank you,

    Good to hear you solved it. If you may still want to know exactly why that was causing an issue, I would propose something I didn’t yet see anyone else do: look specifically at the CF log called coldfusion-out.log. That is basically the “console log” when you run CF as a service, and it would be interesting to know what was in that log if you compared the startup messages in your working and failing examples.
    The log tracks info generally for days if not weeks or months (depending on what else is logged in the file and how quickly it fills), but it may well give you insight  into what was up. I’m not saying there WILL be something there. As Anit said, what you experienced was odd, but if there will be something logged anywhere about this, it may be there.
    If nothing else, I leave this here for anyone else who has a similar sort of problem in the future.

    Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
    Also, I have not created any tables in my database... is this why it doesn't display any search results from my website?

    Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
    What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

  • Firefox does not run smooth while loading websites.

    Firefox does not work smoothly when it is loading any webpage. Specially, when I open new tabs and load new websites while it is still loading last website in other tab, the situation becomes worse. Main problems that occur are - page will not scroll, or scrolling hangs for a sec or so, works a little bit and it happens repeatedly, new tabs will open but not smoothly, website loading also gets affected in similar way. The dot that revolves on tabs while loading any webpage gets really annoying. It revolves intermittently. Imagine a car engine not starting, it starts, stops, starts, stops. That's what happens with Firefox. But once all webpages are completely loaded and scrolled 2 or 3 times from top to bottom of the page, then it is all good. All the problems occur when page is still loading in fore- or background in any or all of the tabs. I tried to run Firefox with all add-on and plugins disabled, tried to refresh Firefox from troubleshoot information. But nothing helps. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I guess my laptop is not having memory issues. I am using Windows 7 x64 based system. RAM is 4 GB. All other software work well. Most importantly, Chrome has no such issues in comparison to Firefox. Also, when IDM (internet download manager) takes over some downloads, the Firefox hangs for few seconds. Please help.
    Thank you.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

  • How to run java program from website?

    Hello
    I'd like to know how to run java program from my web page.
    I'd like to push some button in this web page so java program that would be on my server
    would pop-up. Can it be done automaticaly upon running this web site? (without any buttons - I just enter website and program pops up).
    Cheers

    I rather thought about RMI. But I could try servlets. So how it would look like?.
    I would make http request in browser (enter address) and program would show up in its window?. And I would not have to change anything in my program?. This program would run then on both boxes?. One remotely and one not?.
    But I would have to learn some basics, I've never worked with servlets. Could you suggest some good sites about it?. With ready examples so I could tweak them to my purpose.

  • Can the MTM Test Run 'build number' field be unhooked from a real build without using a fake or empty string.

    I'm working on integrating MTM Test Runs (Via TFS/MTM API) with our automated build & test system, and I've noticed that if I supply a valid build number when creating a test run, and I later delete the build, the test run data disappears with it.
    I know that I can deselect 'Test Results' in the Delete Build dialog, and in the Retention Policy for the Build Definition, but in the interest of avoiding any confusion or mistakes (we have a lot of build definitions to maintain), I wonder if it would be
    possible to instruct the test run to prevent a deliberate link.
    While we're on the subject, if anyone could explain the benefits or potential uses this link might provide (even under conditions that may not meet our usage) I would be very grateful.

    We don't use MTM to run tests, we have another system that works better with our test environments. We will be using MTM to track pass/fail data for the tests that have run, by creating test case workitems for them and using test run and test result objects
    to store the data.
    Going back to my question, I'm looking for a way to prevent a test run object from linking to a TFS Build so I can prevent TFS from removing the test run when I delete it. We have a lot of builds and we frequently remove old ones, I need a way to retain
    historical data for test runs.
    I understand that under normal circumstances, the build number would first be used to retrieve the bits from the build to test with, but since we're not using that system, I'd like to know more about how it might be used in other ways - for example, for
    querying or associating work items. We're considering not using this field, or modifying it in such a way that it doesn't create the relationship with a build that I mentioned, and I would like to know what functionality we would lose by doing this.

  • Using Skype Number On Website So that clients can ...

    Hi,
    I have got a website providing services to the local and small business owners. Can i buy a phone number and list it on my wesbiste so that locals can call me on that number and i get calls on my skype.
    But the thing is i do not live in that country.
    Can you please advice me on this.
    Thanks

    Yes you can as long you are on skype. If you have that number forwarded to a cell or landline you will need skype credit unless you have a subscription covering your phones in the country you live. Example include, if I have a number for you to call in the U.S. and I was in the UK. If I had my phone forwarded to my cell I would need skype credit as I don't have a subscription for the UK.  If I was in the US I do not need credit as my cell and landline phone is covered by a subscription. 
    If you found a post useful, please give Kudos. If it helped to fix your issue, mark it as a solution to help others.

  • Theoretical Limit for Number of Websites on Leopard Server

    I understand that you can have several virtual websites on Leopard Server? Does anyone know what is the maximum theoretical limit for websites on a Leopard Servers?
    Thanks,
    Tricky Ricky

    At a minimum, you need to ensure that the SGA's for all the database instances are able to be loaded into the system's RAM. If you have 1 GB of RAM in a machine, and Windows and your other applications use, say 300 MB of that space, you would have 700 MB left for databases. If each database requires 200 MB of SGA, that limits you to 3 instances. You will also want to ensure that your PGA's are in RAM, which will further limit the number of instances. Assuming 70% SGA and 30% PGA, which is roughly what an average OLTP system would use, you would be limited to 2 instances on this machine.
