Did you set myukbox.com to actually point to your server's main IP address?

Yep - that's what I thought, but I have not been able to confirm any issues with the relevant DNS servers for those machines.  The only time I was able to find an issue was a DNS server was actually down. edit: I'm using the same test locations and the servers are scattered across the US.  I...

Correct the hostname and try running the installer again.

For virtualmin to work, your hostname has to be a fully qualified domain name.  So if your hostname is supposed to be "redbox.myukbox.com" enter hostname redbox.myukbox.com and this will change your hostname.  You can verify it with hostname -f then setup the appropriate A record wherever...

What is your hostname supposed to be and what is it entered as on your VPS?  It may not be properly set.

That was I thought at first.. but every day it becomes more and more frequent -- I had over 20 "problem" alerts on one server alone from monitor.us today yet 0 from all the others.  Everything was fine up until about 2 or 3 months ago. What locations are you using to monitor?  My errors are...

I'm continuing to use monitor.us alongside several other monitoring services - but the number of false positives from monitor.us is just ridiculous.  Anyone else experiencing the same issues? I have 9 servers monitored by them -- and if I were to follow their uptime reports, I'd have below 98%...

About SGC-Hosting SGC-Hosting served as a "post-to-host" provider more than 8 years ago during its time as an online gaming community.  Today, SGC-Hosting provides custom web hosting and IT solutions for many businesses across Long Island as well as Shared, Reseller, and VPS hosting services...

Wow, that's terrible! However, I feel you are very lucky that your injuries weren't worse.  Hopefully you'll be able to get what you need from insurance to make it through without struggle.  Years ago I spent quite a bit on my grandfather's treatments and I'm still feeling the hit today - so I...

Here's what we do 1) Send an e-mail thanking them for ordering and ask them a simple question about your service (ie, how easy was it to place your order, or if they're happy with the service) 2) Finish the e-mail with something along the lines of "if there is anything we can help you with...

After having my laptop destroyed while traveling years ago, I started to just carry a beater laptop and use VPN along with RDP or teamviewer to just use my desktop at home.  I usually also get a cheap data plan for my iphone to use as a hot spot when hotel/hostel wifi is painfully...

All of them can be, and often are, oversold - I'll never argue that.  I was certainly wrong in throwing in that generalization -- just because many low-end providers stuff their OpenVZ nodes, doesn't make it a bad hypervisor in anyway, nor does it mean all providers are doing the same. I guess I...

Both benchmark methods aren't accurate, but downloading a small file hardly qualifies as a disk benchmark.  They could have greatly oversold their disk I/O - especially if it's OpenVZ virtualization.  Is this a consistent issue?  If it's intermittent, there could be a few other users hammering...

Really? I've had the opposite experience -- my bitcoin and dogecoin customers have been by far the least abusive -- I'd say they've actually been the most responsible and friendliest.  I just assumed it's because they have nothing to fall back on if their account gets closed due to abuse.

I typically don't like dark websites nor the color green, but I really like the new design! We had to slap together a new design a few months back because content was outgrowing the functionality of the old design -- ended up going with a very generic bootstrap to hold us over while we go with...

SGC-Hosting started as a gaming community (Sublime Gaming Community) which then turned into some web projects (which I shorted to Sublime GC), which brought me to my first (and worst) business mistake - the name SGC-Hosting.  I want to change it, but I've decided to wait a little longer and spin...

We do IT work on Long Island (new york) near where we're based. Last week we had setup a wireless network for a company and they have their radius server in another country. Yesterday morning I get calls about it not working... They were able to reach the radius server... but the radius server...

Is this an open source application?  :D

do you spin up new VM's for each instance or are these just run directly on the server?  It's so easy to put everything in a virtual environment once the initial setup is done that I just isolate everything into a virtual container in my little homelab.  Just makes me feel a little safer --...

While I'm a service provider, I still buy virtual servers from other providers.  Here's a quick list of what I use mine purchased VPS for: Distributed DNS servers across the country Control panels Fail-over for some of our hosted systems (things happen - if our systems go down - we need...
