Causes of Linux server down or server crash

Introduction

Major 4 types of Linux server down or crash issues. In this tutorial know why it's happened.



1) Common Error
The Network Problem 


The Network Problem is a major error. We are not sure where the problem, because you may appear in server-side or can be displayed on the client or may be in the any single place. Example Firewall rule issue, DNS issue. Cross check the Ethernet cable connected to your server or not broken Last you can check the network connections on your side and make sure that all network connections are okay.
Power Failure


Power Failure is a main situation observed many times. It’s happened when A server on a UPS should shut down gracefully when the UPS is going to run down. The minimal purpose of the UPS is to keep the server running long enough to do that. Check all the power cables connected to your server, because sometimes the cable may burn from overheating or short circuit.

2) Human Error
DOS Attack 
DOS means Denial of Services, In DDOS attacks, the Attacker installs software virus or trojan in damaged systems and uses them to flood the victim's network so that the victim's server can not handle.


As mentioned in this IP question is only the ip of the website or can we DDOS the URL of the victim. This will be the burden on the server that hosts the site. It leads to refuse. Eventually, the site may collapse.
High Server Workload 
High server workload is good for you. But when this turns into heavy traffic burden on the server, the server stops responding. Can not get another request from the client, ie the server goes down


Configuration Bug 
The status of the server and the application depends on the configuration, sometimes due to incorrect configuration of the application that is not accessible by the client. In this case, although the server is still alive, it seems to the client that the server is either down or crashes, because it has no access to the server.

3) Software Error
Operating system crash
Server operating system crash problems either due to a fault in the hardware component or because of conflicts in the performance of applications installed on the system. But if it is a virus problem and some critical part of the system has been destroyed by the virus then system need to be recovered or re-install the operating system.
Application Crash 
once could happen collapse the application that serves your client. There can be various causes of application failure.
As - resource depletion, computational or logical error, system overload, data corruption and more.



4) Hardware Error
Server Hardware Problem 
Like RAM, processor or hard drive that is causing the problem, but this is not the case. If it were true, every site would work perfectly well. The more you provide the memory space, it always seems low, as there is no limit to the popularity and the number of people trying to access your site. They sometimes fail causing the problem.




Thanks for being here.

Apt-fast for Increasing Download Speed while Installing and Updating Packages Ubuntu/Debian [Beginners Guide]

Have you ever experienced slow download speed when downloading or updating packages in Ubuntu even when your network connection is running fine? You encounter this issue especially when updating and installing packages for the first time after installing a new Ubuntu/Debian OS. However, there is a way to get around this by speeding up the download speed using apt-fast command in Linux. Apt-fast is a shell script wrapper for “apt-get” and “aptitude” that uses the power of either  axel  or  aria 2  download managers to accelerate the download process. It improves download performance by downloading packages simultaneously in parallel with multiple packages per connection. In this article, we will walk through some steps to install apt-fast in order to accelerate the update and downloading process in Ubuntu. We will use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for describing the procedure mentioned in this article.   Step 1: Installing prerequisites We need to install...

What is a CDN ? How Does a content delivery network Work?

I ntroduction. Latest Web sites and applications often need to provide   amount of static content to end users. This content includes images, style sheets, JavaScript, and video. The increase in the number of static assets and the increase grows the bandwidth usage increases page load time decreased, depending on the size of the user's search experience, and reduce the usable capacity of the server. Dramatically improving performance, reducing the page load time   reduce the bandwidth and infrastructure costs, you can implement a content delivery network,  And  CDN cache these assets at a set of servers that are geographically distributed. What is a CDN? Content delivery network is a group of servers distributed geographically optimized to provide static content to end users. While this static content can be almost any type of data, CDNs are most commonly used to deliver web pages and related files, streaming video and audio, and large softwar...

Why AWS (amazon cloud) is better for Cloud Servers?

The Amazon Web Services provides remote computing services. Most important and well-known service is the Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2. I have compiled some of the reasons for the AWS choice as Cloud Server, for big and small users.   Pricing Model : Pay-As-You-Go. I am only pay for that what I use. Let’s take an example to understand this: In AWS infrastructure I am using 13GB, now usually what happens with other cloud service I estimate my usage say 40GB, reserve it, and pay for that 40GB monthly. And with AWS, I am not using the whole 40GB. I just have 13GB of data, so I just pay for that 13GB, and I can always store more as your requirements grow, there is no restriction!     Security. Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority Amazon cloud is a secure, durable technology platform with industry-recognized certifications and audits: PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, FISMA Moderate, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and SOC 1 (formerly referred to as SAS 7...
