Hurricane Electric Helpful Hints For Our Colocation Customers Careful Positioning of Equipment - Servers come in many lengths. You should place shorter machines on top of longer machines when possible so the mouse, keyboard and video connectors may be easily reached.
Boot Without Keyboard - Check your server's BIOS to ensure checking for keyboard attached is disabled. This will keep the infamous message "Keyboard not found - Press F1 to continue" from popping up after a power cycle or reboot.
Meet Dean joined Hurricane Electric as a support engineer in 1998. He has worn many hats over the course of the company's expansion while assisting in that growth: handling account orders, hostmaster duties, maintaining access lists, and assisting customers with unique issues. Dean not only enjoys helping customers, though. He spends much of his free time as an amateur writer of fantasy short stories and novellas with aspirations of having his work published in the near future. Contacting Hurricane Electric

Hurricane Electric and IPv6 Technical Note Backing Up is Hard to Do (but very important)
The information you have on your web site is what's important, not the speed at which the server runs or the bandwidth of your Internet connection. To this end, it is incumbent upon everyone to ensure their files are backed up frequently.
Backing up the hidden elements of your web site
Modern web sites employ many techniques to create and deliver their content. Web sites are often driven by php and perl scripts, with much of their content stored in MySQL databases. Simply 'capturing' a set of web pages - viewing them in a browser and saving them as files - won't back up these hidden elements. If you are working with web developers, be certain to ask them about any scripts that may have been employed in the creation of your web site as well as how and where they are backed up. If your web site uses a database, ask your developer about the frequency with which it is backed up and where those backups are stored. Remember, the best place to store a backup is somewhere physically away from the web server itself. If you don't have a web developer or no longer work with whomever created your web site then you should find someone local and ask them to review your web site and its backup procedures and update them where needed.
