when I visit my website the first time the access is really slow (not the downloading of the page, only waiting before the access), but after the first time I visit the website the navigation is normal and fast.
Someone can kindly help me making some tests?
Thanks
Alex
Firstly whenever you visit a site for the first time, your local server will resolve the DNS resolution, more precise will translate the page name into an IP address. The upcoming times the IP address is cached(Store onto your PC or your local server).
Secondly has something to do with saving some of the web page data into your device, basically the second the web page content may be already stored into your device, but that depends on the actual website which you are browsing on.

Does anyone know how to access Cpanel on 1&1(IONOS). One of the biggest in the web hosting market but I didn't know it was one of the worst. Knowledge Base is empty. Searching on Google doesn't result in anything.
I am startled by the fact that I found NO INFORMATION online. Absolutely NO information on google. How could it be possible? No one has ever tried to ask this question before?!?!? BTW IONOS is the worst web host. If someone has to search for 20 mins to access even cpanel, then it's the worst web host.

Note the below is only available if you have the right build assigned to your account.
Server administration with Plesk is conveniently done right in your browser.
Since Plesk provides its own HTTPS service for this, a web server (e.g. Apache)
does not need to be running on the server.
Open your web browser and enter your domain name (or IP address)
followed by :8443 in the address bar.
Log in with the user name Admin and your initial password.
You can log in to IONOS and find your initial password in the Server Access Data section.
I am sure by now you managed to fix your problem. But I figured I must just post how I accessed it for other people. I am assuming that you wanted to remove some of the files on your website (i.e. if a WordPress plugin destroyed your site). The way I accessed my files is as follows: Firstly go to your Ionos dashboard. Then click on the contract you are using (i.e. WP Business). Thereafter go to hosting and click manage, then a page will open and click webspace. Once you click webspace you will be able to access all of your files.
I hope this helps someone out because truly getting information about Ionos seems like thesis research.
I nearly fell for their $6-for-the-first-year Business Plan account. Whups! Good thing I asked some questions first.
The sales person answered the chat after approx 20 mins, and was not customer friendly. When I enquired about included CPanel apps, I was abruptly told that CPanel is not included - you must purchase it separately. She did not tell me (this is what I mean by "abrupt"), but I read elsewhere, that they wrote their own "CPanel-like" administration tool - but from what I can tell it is significantly less capable. And as of this writing, I still do not know if they offer Node.js (which was something that I asked the sales rep but she did not answer).
I would be interested to see a screenshot of the IONOS CPanel replacement. I also would like to know what included apps they offer, such as phpBB, SimpleMachinesForum, Node.js, Python, Ruby - and how Git management/deployment works. As of this writing, and over 30 minutes on chat with them (including wait time), I have no idea.
Here is a fairly recently article from Dec 2021 that sheds more light:
https://websitesetup.org/hosting-reviews/ionos/
You can access your Cpanel using below URL,
http://IP:2082
Note: In IP you have to set your Cpanel IP.
above link redirect to login page, In login page you need to enter your username and password,
From the look of your screenshot it looks as if the package you have purchased is not one that contains a server. Here are two options for packages with servers.
Cloud
Dedicated

Go to Servers & Cloud -> Infrastructure -> Servers and select the server you want to access.
Then, go to either the Plesk or cPanel section, there you'll find user, password and host for your server.
I sell Macs and i'm looking for a way for our security and to combat purchase fraud to have the machines phone home the first time they are booted up to show that machine has been in use at the clients IP address.
Now I know the client might set the computer up at a location other than their home and could spoof their IP (although the potential scammer wouldn't realise this system was in place so wouldn't be expecting to do this) but any system is better than no system.
In terms of privacy we'd put it in our privacy policy but of course we're not looking to collect any information from the user apart from their IP address and the script should delete once its connected to the internet for the first time.
How would users recommend the best way to do it? I have full access to the computers before hand and we already launch a script on first boot of user account to show a welcome and help guide - so we could add simple scripting there, but maybe a helper program which attempts until internet connection is first established, makes contact and deletes itself is best.
And of course we'd need a two pronged approach, a URL or API of some sort on our server that the computer connects to. Ideally the information to send would be the serial number and the IP address of the user, the MAC address could be useful too - as often if fraud has been committed the police will also check to see if the original MAC address of the system has connected via the ISP server logs.
I suppose the final piece of the puzzle would be that our logged data would somehow need to prove it was sent from that computer and not just generated ourselves in a database (eg we haven't just pretended its connected from their IP we've picked up from an e-mail address or something) i'm not sure if there would be any secure legal way to do this?
=============
Edit: Thinking of ways to make it legally binding in terms of presenting the information to the police or the courts I think the receiving server would need to be hosted and maintained by an independent third party whom you had a contract with and didn't allow you any write access to the information what so ever, all you could do is visit a website and pull up the data to pretend the evidence to the police.
(I seem to have been voted down because someone likes committing fraud?)
I have looked into similar solutions for macbooks in the past with little luck. One thing I have found however, if you have a web server, is to create a php page in an obscure hidden directory that will capture the ip address and send an email on access. From here you can create a page specific to each computer with MAC and serial number and set this as safari's homepage in a different tab. So every time someone attempts to access the internet you will be notified.
(This php page can be a simple blank page that just looks like a new tab, or can even display warnings such as "You are being tracked")
You could also create a python script on startup to send the information you are looking for such as ip, mac and serial number back, but again you would need another server setup as a listener.
And lastly, if possible, create a business account in icloud and use Find My Iphone/mac. This is probably the easiest if you can get away with it but unfortunately will not provide you with instant notifications.

I hope someone can help me figure out this issue.
I have a windows based VPS with 6GB of ram and enough disk space.
I have only 3 websites hosted and all three are not advertised publicly, so no one could access.
The issue is the server is slow in response whenever we try to load the sites in browser or in RDP or thru Parallel Plesk Control. Everything slow to response.
I have every 1 minute to 3 , from green zone to red zone a lot of numsessions limit hits.
I have browsed SO and read Parallel doc and even browse their forum and no one has mentioned a real solution. They say that numsessions is hit when many sessions of rdp or Parallel Plesk Control are left open.In my case no one has access to the server and no one is logging to the server either. I have rebooted the server many times and only one session was open and that was to control server via virtuoso (Parallel Power Control) and same the numsessions is hit again within 3 min of reboot.
I have talk to the idiots at 1and1 (where we bought the VPS xxl) and they have no clue saying it is not our problem but yours or MS Windows! I have not installed any third party or even proprietary software on server which could cause the issue. The server is brand new and only created new sites via Parallel Plesk control. Emails are not working either.
Windows Event viewer doesnt show much information either.
Last resort is to re-image the server which may solve issue but I doubt since the issue seems to be from the server when we bought it.
anyone could shed their wisdom light on this please?
Thanks
Just noticed my resource log full of these as well. I think the issue is that a session is counted as soon as a RDP connection is made - so bots trying common admin passwords count towards this.
The real issue is as there is no way I can find to filter these from the resource alerts you basically can't find the real problem you have as the logs are just full of numsesssions.
Sometimes when I access my windows azure website, the initial response time is very slow. After the first page load the website is fast. Some background: The website is not that often visited at the moment. Further, I am using a keepalivecontroller to keep the website running and the website is running in shared mode. I am wondering: are websites that are not that active removed from memory in windows azure? Or is it just that background tasks on the operational level of windows azure are interfering sometimes? It is not transparent for me what is happening, so is there some sla of something for windows azure websites?
There is now a new feature available for Windows Azure Websites in 'Reserved' mode that will keep your website warm. You can now turn on "Always-on" under the "Configuration"-tab on your Azure Website. As explained in this blog post:
When the new “Always On” feature is is enabled on a site, “Windows
Azure will automatically ping your website regularly to ensure that
the website is always active and in a warm/running state,” Guthrie
writes. “This is useful to ensure that a site is always responsive
(and that the app domain or worker process has not paged out due to
lack of external HTTP requests).”
Easiest way to keep a website warm is to call it regularly using the Scheduler feature in Windows Azure Mobile Services.
You simply write a script in the Scheduler that pings your website every x minutes.
Here's a post covering how to do that: http://fabriccontroller.net/blog/posts/job-scheduling-in-windows-azure/
The Windows Azure Web Sites are still in preview, so there is currently no SLA with that service.
The Web Sites do idle out when in free or in Shared mode, which is likely what you are seeing. When the site idles out it actually is removed from memory, and indeed the IIS process host running the site is shut down. This is how they can get the density of hosting 100 sites on the same VM.
You can find a lot of info on the Channel9 site about why this is the case, or, as a shameless plug, here is an article that talks about how the process is handled.
Now, you mentioned that you were using a keepalivecontroller, but what exactly do you mean by that? I use pingdom.com to contantly request data for one of my websites, and that seems to do pretty well. It is still possible that a request doesn't come in and the idle time is met which then cycles the site. It is also possible that even if you always have the site running that the VM the site sites on needs to have the underlying OS updated, in which case Azure would then move the site process to another VM, which could also cause the slow start up on the next request.
I'd start logging your application start ups and then look through your logs to see how often that is happening.
If you only need to warm it up once (vs keeping it warm) and are mostly trying to prevent your customers experience page cold starts, I believe the correct tool is IIS Application Initialization. You can configure it with a list of urls to hit before it deems the app ready for action.
My site is suffering from page cold starts and that is severely magnified in Azure Websites (even on an S3), but it is absolutely speedy after its served that first time thanks to several layers of caching (our inefficient use of Umbraco's dynamic nodes query language creates a lot of database churn--which we're cleaning up opportunistically).
From what I've read and my own web.config attempts this is still not available in Azure Websites. I've asked Microsoft for it here: MS IDEA: Application Initialization to warm up specific pages when app pool starts. Please consider voting for it.
For each service/site you need to go to "Configure", then switch "Always On" to ON. Also make sure you click Save; it took my website about 2 minutes before noticing the change.
Why this is not the default is kind of mind boggling, because my setup on HostGator was running much faster than Azure. I guess Microsoft is figuring if nobody is accessing your site, it's okay if it has a long load time.
