Here you can set the number of login attempts which can be made in 2 hours, so the user cannot login more than the limit allotted by you. You can even redirect the users to a different url if they are about to exceed the maximum number of login attempts. You just need to enter a url in that box. You can even send a email alert or a notification to that users email address. You can even suspend the users who are about to exceed the maximum number of login attempts.

The name “Server Mirroring” itself suggests you a brief idea and gives a basic information of the technology. In this the data is mirrored or duplicated on two different web servers that share the same configurations. Within this type of server mirroring web hosting service you can opt. between, Mirrored Dedicated Linux Servers and Mirrored Dedicated Windows Servers. It’s a type of technique in which the file or data synchronization between the online server are widely preferred due to its reliability. In the Mirroring architecture, two systems are linked together. When the data transfer process takes place, the data is transferred to either of the web servers however at the same time the data is duplicated on the other server as well. Encryption is possible too on the mirrored servers. This technology can be applied to WAN as well as LAN architecture of servers.

This type of hosting architecture is being used by the hosting provider. The server of similar hardware configurations has to be setup at different geographic location ie. different racks, different geographical locations, different data centers etc. Usually, its advised that the  servers within the same data center to avoid a delay in mirroring of the online web data.

Among the servers, one is the Master server and other is the Slave or Secondary Server. If due to any reason, the Master Server fails to respond/work, the Secondary Server takes over and starts operating as a Master Server, this avoids the possibilities of the downtime of websites. FAM and RSync modules are used in the Mirroring architecture. When the Secondary server works as Master server, the process is called as a Failover Process.

As soon as the Master Server is replaced, repaired or in case re-installed to the internet network, restoration of the procedure gets initiated. In this the latest changes on the secondary server that has taken place when the Master Server had failed, is now restored. Now, when the Master servers functionality has been resolved, the website data again starts getting resolved from the Master Server.

If your goal is to be successful then you need to plan for that success. Most people who are there in the online business already know this answer because their website have outgrown shared hosting and their current web host has told them that they need to upgrade to a stronger solution that can handle heavier traffic and heavier resource usage which is memory and CPU. If you have a site that is fairly popular, a typical entry level virtual server with at least 512MB RAM,10 Gb of hard disk and 300GBof bandwidth should work perfect. With a virtual private server hosting , you’ll have plenty of server resources available which would be allocated to your site. This way, as your site earns more money and gains more traffic, you can expand your hosting accordingly. You can avoid this by monitoring your website statistics. If you see your site growing month over month (or in some cases, exploding overnight), take the proactive approach and spend a little more to get great quality hosting through a solid VPS hosting company. Trust us and you can thank us later.

VPS do have three major things for the client .

Full Customization – With virtual dedicated hosting users get full root access and SSH access to the server. This allows server customization that enables you to install your own software, applications, tweak performance, and manage your server as you would on a dedicated server. This option is not required, however, because you can purchase managed virtual server hosting has different control panels and operating systems of their choice.

Isolation – Each VPS has its unique file system and gets a guaranteed percentage of a server’s disk space, CPU power, bandwidth, and system memory (RAM). Therefore, a website hosted on a VPS runs on an isolated environment where its performance will not be affected by other websites. Also, a Virtual Private Server will not allow the sharing of web applications and services with other websites thus it eliminates the risk of downtime or hacks due to other customer mistakes that you have no control over.

Affordability – Virtual Private Servers Hosting are far cheaper than a dedicated server web hosting. While cheaper, client still get the features like dedicated servers but you won’t pay the price of one. virtual server hosting was marketed and developed for the person who needs more power than what shared hosting offers but cannot afford an expensive dedicated server.

Perl is one of the popular programing language usually used to develop common gateway interface (CGI) programs due to its attractive text manipulation facility.

You need to first login to your dedicated server / VPS
Just use below mention 4 commands via SSH and you are done with installing Perl on your server.
wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/perl588installer.tar.gz
tar -xvzf perl588installer.tar.gz
cd perl588installer
./install
Allow few minutes to get Perl installation completed on your server.

For hosting game servers we recommend using a Dedicated Server, VPS hosting is not recommended for a game server since the processor power and memory allocations for a VPS are less compared to a single Physical dedicated server. If you wish to test the game server application on a VPS then you can consider our VPS Enterprise for a month but we do not provide support for game server web hosting on a VPS.

You can operate the dedicated server as a game server. We will provide you the dedicated server, and will install the operating system, if you would like to install game server software on it then you can of course do so. You have full access to the game server to install what you like. We do provide assistance with game server installations at no additional cost for Dedicated Server clients.

Every individual dedicated server gets a 100 Mbps connection. A choice between 10 Mbps and 1 Gbps is also available for dedicated server customers. Our shared & reseller web hosting servers have a direct link to one of the many ethernet gigabit backbone connections within the datacenter facility. The semi-dedicated and vps hardware nodes are all connected to independent 100 Mbps lines. The whole Network Operations Center / Datacenter has multiple lines of 15 Gbps from almost every Tier 1 provider. This not only gives us redundancy, but it also acts as a good buffer in times of a sudden spurt in bandwidth requirements. Leaving aside any unforeseen circumstances or during times when we face nature’s fury, there are no problems of connectivity which you would have to put up with.

Ans: When it comes to security within the data center premises, Web Hosting UK never allow anyone to enter Data Center area without a passport and letter of permission from main contact person dealing from customer side. Technical staff from customer side is allowed to connect to the dedicated servers through KVM session only and no direct physical contact with the dedicated server is permitted under normal circumstances.

With regards to security of individual VPS or Semi Dedicated servers, the hardware node is our responsibility, however securing individual VPS or Semi-Dedicated server is the customer’s responsibility. Once we have sent the login details, we do not have direct control over the kind of usage which happens. However, our technical support would try and help you as much as possible with your security and will give you suggestions accordingly. Having said that, certain security settings are already in place (depending on the control panel) but usually our technical support team can make additional tweaks to make sure your VPS or Semi Dedicated server is properly secured.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology presents multiple isolated server environments on a single physical server. VPS allows multiple customers to share the expense of hardware and network connections without sacrificing privacy, performance or preference. Each VPS is completely independent from each other and it can be rebooted independently and has its own root/administrator access. VPS provides the flexibility to add and change modules and install your own software.

Ans: The contention ratio is the amount of vps users we put on the same vps node. Some vps web hosting providers practice the nasty habit of overselling; that is, creating as many vps hosting accounts onto the same vps node as possible and praying that they don’t all use their dedicated resources at the same time. That is not what we do. Even if all the vps hosting users on one of our VPS nodes were to use 100% of their vps hosting resources simultaneously, there would be enough to go around with plenty to spare. You can rest assured that your vps hosting account will always be stable and unaffected by the actions of any other Webhosting UK VPS hosting user. We make sure that each VPS receives its guaranteed amount of resources.
