Q. Do You offer load balanced apache servers and mysql dedicated servers?

Ans : Yes. We offer load balanced apache servers (Web Servers) as well as MySQL servers. We are hosting a couple of biggest forums in the world which use multiple apache servers and high configurations quad core xeons for MySQL. Clustering of multiple MySQL servers is expensive but clustering of apache servers is quite simple and the only cost involved in it is for the dedicated servers. Basic dedicated server configurations are available at http://www.eukhost.com/dedicated-server-hosting.php but high configuration quad xeon servers can be setup as per requirement.

Please contact our sales department for custom quote.

For Load Balanced Web servers’ architecture, we will setup 2 or more similar configuration Web Servers which will be behind the Load Balancer. Each Web Server will have a public IP assigned to it as well as a Internal LAN IP. We prefer LAN over VLAN as internal communication of the Web Servers and Database Server(s) can be completely isolated from external traffic. After the implementation of Load Balancing routing rules on the Load Balancer, we configure Firewall rules to allow web traffic on the Web servers to pass trough the Load Balancer. Our Office IP and Customers IP will be the only IPs to have remote access of all Servers. No other IP will be able to access any of the Web Servers or Database Server(s). Load Balancer will take care of equal distribution of traffic on each of the Web Servers and each of your web servers will then pass on SQL queries to the Database Server. Web Servers will allow only inbound connection on port 80, while SQL servers will allow only inbound connection on port 1433 if using MSSQL on the Database Servers or port 3306 if using MySQL on the Database Server. Database Servers will allow incoming SQL queries only from the LAN IP of the Web Servers. Inbuilt TCP / IP firewall settings of Linux 0S (Load Balancer) will be utilized for this setup and this will eliminate any requirement of additional Hardware Firewall. Firewall rules on the Web Servers and Database Servers will be configured using inbuilt IP security Firewall if Windows or TCP/IP based host access control policy if using Linux Servers. We have expertise in setup of such Load Balanced secure clusters and there’s absolutely no reason to be concerned about server security, Load Balanced routing rules or Firewall settings.

We also use some specific Load Balancers procured from Cisco and Juniper for such Load Balanced clusters. We prefer CSS 11000 (Cisco) & Juniper TX2200 for high-end clusters.

How to Backup Database from PHPMyAdmin

You are able to backup databases in a variety of ways, one of which is via the Backup Facility with cPanel but there are other alternatives to Backup MySQL databases without the need of that facility on its own. You can backup via phpMyAdmin in the Export section of the facility. Just like the backup facility in cPanel, it can give backups to you as a .tar.gz format which means you’ll be able to restore it via the cPanel facility if you need to do so.
• Once you’ve accessed the phpMyAdmin facility go into the database (empty or otherwise) and from the top menu click Export.
• Scroll down on that page until you get to a ‘Save as file’ option and select ‘gzipped’ and leave the settings as default.
• Click ‘Go’

To restore via the phpMyAdmin facility unfortunately you’ll already need the database setup to restore the inner contents, such as the tables, etc. So create a new database (name it the same as the database name that you backed up previously). Once you’ve created the database and you’re inside it, from the top menu again click Import.
• Simply select ‘Browse’ and find the relevant gzipped file, and leave all settings as default.

If all goes well you should see the contents of the database all there. Remember just like the cPanel backup facility, if you use usernames for each database you’ll need to set that up individually, for instance if you restored the backup via the cPanel facility. Make sure you re-connect the username and database together.
