For running PHPBB3 or vBulletin, are there certain *ballpark* figures used to help decide between 256, 384, or 512MB of dedicated RAM on a VPS?
E.g. If you have XX number of concurrent users, you will probably need this amount of RAM?
What kind of web hosting plan would I need for a message board with 500+ online active members and 100,000+ overall members?
I'm just trying to figure it out in advance and I believe that some of you have the experience and knowledge about this specific issue.
I'M looking for a windows vps, preferably outside of the United States. I have come across Santrex.net, and their windows vps offer is 39$ a month for 30GB HD, 512MB ram, 100mbit connection, unmetered bandwidth, and you can choose between US or Germany.
I was just wondering if 512MB is enough to run VNC, apache, and a few other programs?
If you have another provider that has windows outside the us please share. :-)
i would buy a new 2950, i see that i can chose perc6 with 256mb and as second controller perc6 with 512mb ram, is there any way to get only one perc with 512mb?

Will response time increase much or just scalability?
I'm currently in the market for a new VPS that will be used for a single website. The client had it on a shared server, and ended up having it get suspended from too many httpd connections one day. Though the 2+ months it's been up, there haven't been any prior issues, so I think there was just something on that day that people found the website.
Anyway, according to WHM's bandwidth log, it hasn't used more then 46GB in a month, so I don't foresee this account needing to surpass 100GB of bandwidth.
The amount if disk space being used it currently at 1GB but up to 3-5GB would suffice.
I've tried out Direct Admin, but I'm much more knowledgable with WHM and cPanel that if at all possible, I'd want that on it. I'd prefer not to have to pay extra monthly for a license; I'd like for it to be included in the price.
I'm not looking for full management, but just basic management (and having support that actually reads your tickets as opposed to repeating the same bs every other ticket.. speaking from personal experience with another *cough* VPS host.)
I'm looking for the price range to be under $30 a month for the specs needed.
I realize cPanel needs a bit more memory, so.. hopefully this is justifiable:
Requirements:
OS - CentOS
CP - cPanel+WHM
RAM - 128-256MB dedicated, burstable to 512MB+ (though not a necessity)
DISK - 3-5GB of disk space (obviously more would be fine if it's available within PR)
Bandwidth - 100GB
Price Range - $30 or less
I've already tried out Primary VPS, so I don't want to go there. Spry's VPS is unmanaged, and I don't want to configure the VPS myself at all (I'm lazy and I really suck at SSH commands.)
If any of you guys can offer some ideas of VPS hosts to look into, that would fit the prereqs I listed, I would be forever in your debt (or not) but I'd really appreciate it.
I just don't want to deal with Primary VPS anymore, and have been stumped as to what other VPS hosts to look into. Obviously I'm still going to search around here, but sometimes I like hearing personal recommendations...
I'm seriously considering the LVPS-2 plan at SWVPS: 10GB space, 200GB bandwidth, 512MB RAM (burstable to 768MB). I have four sites hosted with MediaTemple but I want to give VPS another shot since it provides full root access. MediaTemple is hosting me fine, but I keep running into roadblocks with things that involve custom compiling. I'd really like some more flexibility.
So how easy would it be to add 4 domains to one VPS plan and have them all in their own subdirectory? Also, two of these domains would have one e-mail address, so I'd need a mail server along with a FTP server. I know these two to be slight resource hogs from my previous VPS experiences, as they both caused me to go over my limit (which was, I think, 256MB).
I sent SWVPS an email but all I got was a suggestion to get a dedicated server. These days it's hard to tell a genuine recommendation from someone trying to milk another $40/mo out of you. I really don't think I need a dedicated server for these sites, as I've hosted much more than that on shared servers (granted, that's a completely different area). I also can't afford dedicated hosting. This $20 price point for LVPS-2 is convenient, because it's the same price at MT, which I'm barely skimming by on.
Site #1 is a personal blog with one email account, powered by PHP and MySQL.
Site #2 is a company website and blog, powered by RoR, but not much database load. It would, however, run Subversion and browse it with Warehouse, a RoR SVN browser. This would probably be the main offender as everything SVN would be managed and run from here.
Site #3 is a software website in RoR, all downloads would be from Site #2's SVN server. It has forums, a bug tracker, a plugin/theme browser, and a development blog, and everything else is just (R)HTML.
Site #4 is another personal site, with one email account.
1) From time to time my vbulleting message board loads slow, and at that time the server isn't even at a high load this happen at loads 0.9 nothing much really but always below 4.
2) Not only does it load slow but it often return the server cannot be found error, this minute it works fine and the next minute it doesn't, all i can see from the error log for my domain is
3) php warning: Zend Optimizer for PHP 4.3.x cannot be found (expected at '/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-2.1.0/php-4.3.x/Zendoptimizer.so') - try reinstalling the zend optimizer in Unknown on line 0, referer [url]
4) Does vbulletin relies on zend at all to be fully functional?
5) will zend actualy help at all?
Yes there are other sites on the box and they seem to work fine.

It looks like the heatsink on the motherboard might restrict airflow a bit.

What can you do to stop so many users on your server that use mysql as apart of their website from getting this message: MySQL server has gone away
Like there has to be something installed or configured on the server that causes this as well, as I know people are taking too long to load something and it through that message, but it has to be something you can do server wide to get reed of it?
