You misunderstand
What I'm saying is that by the end of this weekend we'll have nightly backups being taken of all accounts and we'll keep 1 week rolling.
Be aware that restores require a ticket, but it's free to restore within reason.

I was asking about the particular setup that arieonline mentioned, like a cPanel customer or reseller having his/her own setup to backup data, including databases periodically to a separate server.You misunderstand
Its always a peace for mind to know that there is a copy of the recent data present in a separate node and is one of the major reason why I run VPS with cPanel license, paying around 25$ per monthfor a few clients.
Makes sense
We do keep nightly backups of all SSD plans in LV and will be rolling backups to NJ very soon.Francisco
Hmm, ok, that's interesting about htaccess and nginx and I didn't realize it was an issue. Is litespeed really that much faster than apache? Apache was considered pretty good back in the day, given its concurrency model that Litespeed might also have to follow for compatibility reasons (not sure).
It's great if it's possible to run arbitrary cgi scripts from htaccess and I think that's not typical of cheap shared hosting, though I don't have much experience with that. Python is fine with me, I don't care about Ruby, though others might. Note that Ruby (particularly Rails) is a pretty bad performance pig compared with Python or PHP, which themselves aren't that great to start with. If it's possible to launch arbitrary scripts from within PHP, that also increases flexibility, though maybe makes security harder. Can I upload my own executables and run them as cgi's or from php scripts?
Overall this seems like a great product and I hope it's sustainable for you. I've been a bit reluctant to run low traffic web servers on VPS's because of maintenance burden (monitoring, security patches etc) while low-rent shared hosting has generally had too many limitations. This seems to address almost every issue.

Thanks, maybe I'm a little bit unusual in that I'm pretty comfortable with Linux and don't know anything about cpanel, rather than the other way around. I can deal with initial setup without needing something like cpanel. Shared hosting mostly interests me from the viewpoint of not having to worry about restarting servers when they crash and so on.
Fran, are you using LSWS or OpenLSWS?
That's how shared works. Keys aren't encrypted but are stored in your home directory. When you go to shared
you have to sacrifice the tinfoil hat along the way. If you want complete control over all those
aspects then a VPS or dedicated are your only options.
The paid enterprise edition.
cPanel is all about hand holding for the end user. It does do a ton of hand holding for the admin side of things but far more for the end user. As an end user you pretty much sacrifice a lot of your freedom in how the platform is run, what you can run, etc, for a simple solution that "just works" 99% of the time.
If you need django or memcache/redis? Shared isn't a good option for these due to security. Do you want to run some standard wordpress setup on a really tight budget? OK that works.
I think you're looking at the product in the wrong light.

Yeah, there aren't too many people doing non-cpanel (or non-other-panel) shared hosting, though it would be possible. Back in the early 90s - remember those www.example.com/~myname URLs?
- people did, but it soon got tricky as people wanted to create MySQL databases (needed MySQL root), add domains (needed root), etc. and so control panels were born.There's probably a market for "smart guys' shared hosting" but I expect it's very small. There are some non-cpanel options out there - e.g., Microsoft Azure Sites - but they're specialist/high performance/way more than cPanel.
Historically, BuyVM allowed adult content...I guess not for BuyShared?
Porn isn't a big deal. If litespeed makes it one we'll go down that path when it's time. I've yet to hear of anyone getting suspended under that rule, though.Yeah, there aren't too many people doing non-cpanel (or non-other-panel) shared hosting, though it would be possible.

I think the rule was mostly to stop like, pornhub or something like that from using it.

Nah I'm not trying to do anything fancy like Django, just some ultra low traffic personal static pages and simple cgi's that get maybe a dozen clicks a year. It hadn't even occurred to me that it was possible to run something like redis (a persistent server process that keeps listener sockets open, as opposed to a cgi that only runs when someone clicks it) on shared hosting. I am a little bit tinfoil about security as you put it though. I'd asked about running arbitary binaries to be able to use other languages without having to worry about which compilers you had installed.
There's one ready for DNS, i'm just deciding on one for cpanel if that's what you're askingany estimated time when white label domain used for buyshared ?
If you got some ideas send them my way and I'll have it done by morning.

Whenever we hit Europe, sure
We still plan to get there this year, we just need to nail down some RIPE IP space.

A quick update for those still following.
- Cloudlinux has been rolled out the current node and will be on all future nodes
- Whitelabeling has been setup for both nameservers & the SSL service ports
- Litespeed is still in use, but has been tuned to support the cloudlinux PHP version changer
Nothing too crazy. Still working on backups but there's a few more stallion changes
I need to complete before I can get those taking.
As mentioned prior, restores will require a ticket. This will be free within reason.

nice deal. interested to buy 125gb reseller plan.
I'm afraid of account termination, if some of my clients overload our servers, whole reseller account getting banned or only particular account will get ban?

I don't think any provider suspends the entire reseller account. Do they? I'm willing to bet they probably just suspend the individual cPanel user that is causing the problem.
