For example, if you are using Apache, the virtual host configuration files are typically located in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory (on Ubuntu or Debian-based systems) or /etc/httpd/conf.d/ (on CentOS, Fedora or RedHat-based systems). The files usually have a .conf extension.

If you are using Nginx, the virtual host configuration files are typically located in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory. These files also have a .conf extension.

It’s important to note that the exact location of the virtual host configuration files may be different on your specific Linux distribution or web server setup.

Most users will want to use a domain name they already own, often the same domain name that is being used for the hostname of the server that will be running the private nameservers.

For this example, we will use a fake domain called yourdomain.com. Our server is called host.yourdomain.com and we will be setting up ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com.

There are three parts to setting your private nameservers: Configuring the server to accept and process the DNS requests, registering your your new nameservers at the registrar who controls the domain name, and finally pointing domains at those new nameservers.

This article will guide on how to create private nameserver for Linux server.

For Linux server installed cPanel:

1. Log in to your WHM with URL : yourserverIPaddress/whm and find the navigation section on the left called Basic cPanel & WHM Setup, at the bottom, you will find the Nameservers section.

2. When you load this screen for the first time you may see that is two nameservers, using the same domain name as the server’s hostname are already in place. You may change the hostname and assign with the IP address for the nameserver.

3. Key in the new nameserver such as ns1.yourdomainname.com and assign the IP address. You need to have at least two nameserver names configured, so repeat this step to create your second nameserver.

4. When finished assigning IP addresses, make sure to click Save Changes (3).

5. If the domain name for example yourdomainname.com is yet to add in WHM , you may need to create a new cpanel account or add the DNS zone for the yourdomainname.com to enable the DNS for the domain name.

6. To add the DNS in WHM , go to DNS function and click on Add a DNS Zone.

7. Key in yourdomainname.com and add it with your server IP, then click on Add Zone.

8. Once the DNS zone successfully added, go to Edit DNS Zone , select yourdomainname.com from the list , add below A record for your nameserver under Add New Entries:

ns1: A record : your nameserver IP address

ns2: A record : your nameserver IP address

9. Click on Save to save the setting.

Overview

Secure Shell (SSH) is a UNIX-based command interface and protocol for securely getting access to a remote computer. SSH is actually a suite of three utilities slogin, ssh, and scp that are secure versions of the earlier UNIX utilities, rlogin, rsh, and rcp. SSH commands are encrypted and secured in several ways. Both ends of the client/server connection are authenticated using a digital certificate, and passwords are protected by being encrypted.

One of the greatest benefits of subscribing to our VPS or (Dedicated Server) plans is that you will have root or administrator’s access to the system. With this access, you are free to install or configure applications and scripts without the limitations of a shared environment and we encourage you to do so. However, having administrator rights also mean that files may be wrongly deleted or misconfigured which may result in a VPS (or Dedicated Server) going down. Do note that some of these changes are irreversible.

Our support team is always here to assist you when you need it. However, there are situations where even we are unable to undo, like the deletion of a database, or a deletion of an important system file. In such situations, we will have to re-install the OS which may result in a potential loss of data.

First, you need to choose a SSH client.

1.    Mac OS X includes the SSH client Terminal by default. Go to Application > Utilities > Terminal

Run below command to connect to your linux server via SSH (port 22):

[root@client ~]# ssh root@example.domain.com -p22 The authenticity of host 'example.domain.com (192.168.2.155)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 45:83:45:4a:e3:29:7e:fa:f3:c3:7d:64:ea:3a:6f:58. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'example.domain.com,192.168.2.155' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. root@example.domain.com's password:

2.    Windows-based Operating Systems do not come with an SSH client by default. You can use PuTTY that can be downloaded from here.

• Once you download Putty.exe to your windows machine, double click the putty.exe file

• Enter your connection settings. Host Name or server IP address, Port, and Connection Type(Leave it as default : SSH ). Then, Click Open to initiate the SSH connection.

• If this is your first time connecting to the server from this computer, you will see the following output. Accept the connection by clicking Yes.

• Once the SSH Connection is open, you should see a terminal prompt asking for your username. Type your username (i.e. root) and press Enter. Then, next it will asking you for the password. Type your password (you will NOT see your cursor moving, or any characters typed) and press Enter again.

• You will see a prompt below if you succeed to connect to the server :[root@example ~]#

3.    Linux distributions include support it by default as well. Simply start up a terminal.

Run below command to connect to your linux server via SSH (port 22):

authenticity of host 'example.domain.com (192.168.2.155)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 45:83:45:4a:e3:29:7e:fa:f3:c3:7d:64:ea:3a:6f:58. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'example.domain.com,192.168.2.155' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. root@example.domain.com's password:

Linux Memory Usage

There are commands for virtually everything on Linux, since the GUI may not always be available. Only shell access is available while operating on servers, so anything must be done from those commands. So today we are going to check commands that can be used on a Linux system to check memory use. Memory includes swap and RAM.
Checking the memory use and memory used per process on servers is also important so that resources are not shortened and users can access the server. For example a website. If you run a Webserver then the server must have enough memory to support the site visitors. If not, the site would become very slow or even go down when there is a traffic spike, simply because memory would fall short. It’s just like what happens on your desktop PC.

The Free Command is the easiest and simplest command to use for checking memory use on Linux. Here’s just a short example:

$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          7976       6459       1517          0        865       2248
-/+ buffers/cache:       3344       4631
Swap:         1951          0       1951

The m option displays all data in MBs. The total os 7976 MB is the total amount of RAM installed on the system, that is 8GB. The used column shows the amount of RAM that has been used by Linux, in this case around 6.4 GB. The output is pretty self-explanatory. The catch over here is the cached and buffers column. The second line tells that 4.6 GB is free. This is the free memory in the first line added with the buffers and cached amount of memory.
Linux has the habit of catching lots of things for faster performance, so that memory can be freed and used if needed.
The last line is the swap memory, which in this case is lying entirely free.

The next way to check the use of memory is to read the “/proc/meminfo” file. Know that there are no actual files in /proc file system. These are rather virtual files which contain dynamic kernel and system information.

$ cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:        8167848 kB
MemFree:         1409696 kB

Hugepagesize:       2048 kB
DirectMap4k:       62464 kB
DirectMap2M:     8316928 kB

Check the values of MemTotal, MemFree, Buffers, Cached, SwapTotal, SwapFree.
They indicate the same values of memory usage as the free command.

The vmstat command with the s option lays out the memory usage statistics much like the proc command. Here is an example:

$ vmstat -s
      8167848 K total memory
      7449376 K used memory
      3423872 K active memory
      3140312 K inactive memory
       718472 K free memory
      1154464 K buffer memory
      2422876 K swap cache
      1998844 K total swap
            0 K used swap
      1998844 K free swap

        91904 IO-wait cpu ticks
            0 IRQ cpu ticks
         2189 softirq cpu ticks
            0 stolen cpu ticks

     94581566 CPU context switches
   1382755972 boot time

$

The top few lines indicate total memory, free memory etc and so on.

Typically, the top command is used to check the memory and CPU consumption per cycle. But it also records total use of memory and can be used to track total usage of RAM. The output header has the requisite information. The sample output here is:

top - 15:20:30 up  6:57,  5 users,  load average: 0.64, 0.44, 0.33
Tasks: 265 total,   1 running, 263 sleeping,   0 stopped,   1 zombie

Check the KiB Mem and KiB Swap lines on the header. They indicate total, used and free amounts of the memory. The buffer and cache information is present here too, like the free command.

Similar to the top command, the htop command also shows memory usage along with various other details.

The header on top shows CPU usage along with RAM and swap usage with the corresponding figures.

To find out hardware information about the installed RAM, use the demidecode command. It reports lots of information about the installed RAM memory.

$ sudo dmidecode -t 17
# dmidecode 2.11
SMBIOS 2.4 present.

Handle 0x0015, DMI type 17, 27 bytes

        Asset Tag: Unknown
        Part Number: 0x524D32474235383443412D36344643FFFFFF

Provided information includes the size (2048MB), type (DDR2) , speed(667 Mhz) etc.

All of the above commands operate from the terminal and have no interface. When dealing with a GUI on a desktop, use of a graphical display Interface tool is much simpler. Gnome-system-monitor on gnome and keyguard on KDE are the commonest tools. Both provide information about the resource use of CPU, RAM, swap, and network bandwidth in a graphical and easy to understand visual performance.
