I will explain.

$ ls > /dev/null 2>&1

is the Bourne/ksh syntax for redirecting both stdout and stderr to /dev/null

/dev/null is a construct to ignore output

This is the way it is told to the shell.

Redirect fd 1 to somewhere, then redirect fd 2 to fd 1( 2>&1)

The left hand side is without '&', say 1> /dev/null or 2>/dev/null

But the right hand side is written with an '&' to mean:

Instead of to the file foo in 2>foo, redirect to the fd with

2>&1

So this means

redirect fd 2 to fd 1

Instead if you write

2>1

it will redirect to a file called 1

Sidu,

That is one option I can look into. Thanks. My first preference will be a
server located in India though.

This is for a medium stealth startup application and there is really a
genuine reason for this type of requirement.

I'm now seeking companies that can develop this app for them. This
will be a high volume site and are looking for folks that have done
some such work earlier.

Those interested to engage in this, please reply to

Take a look at 
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#How_long_does_it_take_to_remap_an_Elastic_IP_address
- but you're limited to 5 IPs per region IIRC. You'll probably also
have to write a script to rotate IPs.

I run my own named and, AFAIK, there are no issues if its protected 
behind a firewall. In Chennai, We have F Root server so it helps in 
running your own nameserver.

But to the most part, the named cache hit helps the browsing experience 
greatly.

[Ilugc] [advice needed] Is this kind of hosting service available anywhere ?

[Christopher Sagayam]

Hello All,

I'm looking for a hosting service preferably a VPS or even a dedicated
server where the IP address of the server needs to be dynamic.

I'm going to use this only for running applications (perfectly legal ones )
so I do not  worry about the constantly changing IP or dns etc. I'm not
going to be hosting websites at all.

All I need is SSH shell access. (I can take care of writing an app which,
once the server is switched on I will be informed me of the changed IP
address so that I can login !)

Picture this. You have a server running in your home using a simple DSL
connection. So everytime you switch on/off the router  your IP address
changes. I want a similar situation.

Do you know anyone who can provide this service  located preferably in
India or anywhere ?

Of course I can run a box out of my home now but it is not practical
considering this needs to be live 24/7.

My requirements are different from what you are saying above. I want
VPS hosting at rates as cheap as Shared hosting . I found one, but
unfortunately they don't provide dns service. So which requires the
free dns hosting or host my own dns server. So it is not re-inventing
the wheel. Is it ? AFAIK the hosting providers you mentioned provide
dns service only if you choose to host with them and their VPS
services aren't anywhere near cheap. Further i am not a business class
user to require so many of their features like 24x7 support, SSL
certificate, plex control panel (what ever that mean) etc. I choose to
go with unmanaged , no support , no ssl, plain VPS provided by tocici
and for my purposes this is more than enough. You see that i feel that
root access is great compared to shared hosting where you are treated
as a dumb end user. I would better switch to windows OS than using
such a service. Here is the price comparision of 1and1 vps solution
and that provided by tocici
http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/VirtualServerL;jsessionid=CDE40393DBB0D93C92D3C37FF5F0B6F5.TCpfix141a?__frame=_top&__lf=Static&ordernow=true
http://www.buildyourvps.com/unmanaged.html

1and1 demands 29$ monthly for their lowest offering in vps class
tocici is asking for ~2$ monthly for their offering. I subscribed to
their plan and i am paying ~4$ monthly and it is just 2 months old.
