How would I be able to find out whether a site using ns1 & ns2 rackshack.net is a virtual account or dedicated server at rackshack?
 | View Full Version : rackshack virtual or dedicated? how can you tell? Avail 05-11-2002, 12:43 AM Wouldn't a dedicated RackShack server have its own, private nameservers? ToastyX 05-11-2002, 01:07 AM Originally posted by Avail Wouldn't a dedicated RackShack server have its own, private nameservers? Not necessarily. They can use RackShack's DNS servers. Many people with only a couple of sites use RackShack's DNS servers. Also, people using certain registrars can register name servers with their domain name using RackShack's name server IP addresses, so that's not a good way to determine whether or not it's a virtual hosting account or a dedicated server. I don't think there'd be an easy way to tell. They do use Cobalt servers for their virtual hosting accounts, so that's one way to eliminate possibilities.

If that is so, then RS better screen the orders they received this week for something "pure" "young" and "nightly" as I'm pretty sure they didn't read the RS TOS. Two of the sister sites in question owes me a total of $575. :angry: web_res 05-12-2002, 12:05 AM I believe that for cobalt raqs, it's domain.com/siteadmin, they may have changed that in the last year or two though. Haven't used a raq in a while. Ensim, uses domain.com/admin for it's site administration. If it does take you to ssl login page then it's pretty safe to say that it's one of their dedicated servers. I'm not sure about what plesk uses though... Dylan 05-12-2002, 12:19 AM This is what happens when you go to domain.com/admin/ https://64.246.20.43:19638/webhost/services/virtualhosting/siteadmin?ocw_login_domain=domain.com/ web_res 05-12-2002, 12:21 AM That's ensim webapp.... So it's definately a dedicated server at RS. Assuming you checked out the ip and domain and it belongs to RS. iamdave 05-12-2002, 12:32 AM Ya, it's probably dedicated, because RackShack virtual accounts use Cobal RAQs. ToastyX 05-12-2002, 03:13 AM ...or they could just be with another host that has an Ensim dedicated server at RackShack...there's really no way to tell. ckpeter 05-12-2002, 12:29 PM If that's the case though, the name server would probably reflect the host, not rackshack.
