    Why don't you use CDN ? would you if it was free ?

My feeling is that CDN is useful for high traffic websites or for...

    TX rate lower than RX

    Is it the right network interface? Have you try downloading a big file from your server while doing this test? Do your websites "feel" slow ? Maybe something is downloading data on your server and "eat" all the bandwidth available: do you run backup scripts or file sharing clients while...

    Apache causing huge load, how to pin down the reason?

    Limiting the access to /wp-admin/ for the whole server

    Hi, What is your nginx configuration? You should be able to create a location block which should look like this (I am unsure about the regex): location ~ /wp-admin {     allow YOUR_IP;     deny all; }

    HELP! How do I get Filezilla access to my centos 6.0 vps?

If you need the access to the root folder, then you have to permit root to log in in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and use the user root in...

    cryptic short domain names, why so popular?
