Quick Start

OK, here's the lowdown on what you can do with the server. Click through each bit for the gory details.

  • Shell access (SSH): gypsyhosting.com

  • Email:

    • POP/IMAP server: mail.gypsyhosting.com
    • Webmail: http://webmail.gypsyhosting.com/
    • Username/password are the same as your shell account.
    • All the aliases you requested are forward to that account.
  • DNS and IP assignments:

    • Your personal IP is in your welcome email (as well as in your Apache conf file).
    • I don't host DNS; if you need DNS hosting I suggest EveryDNS (free).
    • If you want media servers, they should be set up as a CNAME to media.gypsyhosting.com.
  • Your PostgreSQL database is up and running.

  • Apache:

    • You have your own instance of Apache.
    • Your conf file is $HOME/web/apache2.conf
    • Restart apache with sudo invoke-rc.d httpd restart $USER
  • Lighttpd is set up at your media domain.

  • Django (0.91) is installed, and a skeleton configuration for gypsyhosting is waiting in your $HOME/pylib:

  • Memcached is at localhost port 11211

  • Backups: all disks are RAID-1, and a complete backup of all data is made every night.

  • Support: support@gypsyhosting.com
