Blog,forum Or Custom Page. Who Uses Most Resources
Nov 13, 2007
WHT is after what I've heard one of the biggest webmaster forums. So I am asking this. Lets say you have 1000 concurrent users all the time. What is less resources using.
Vbulletin forum
Wordpress
custom made page
All 3 of them can equally fullfill what they are intended for.
Vbulletin - I had it but it uses too much resources, I need strong dedicated servers too keep it up.
Wordpress - never used it, but its coded by experts so it should use less resources than all other blog softwares. I need to know if this need dedicated or semi-dedicated to hold 1000 concurrent users.
Custom made page - hire a code to make a page. But custom coders cannot be better than Wordpress coders and therefore not as good as coded as WP?
Basically I installed wordpress in the same mysql as forum... but wordpress uses different username to connect to it. I wonder if there is any security risk associated with this, like would it be better to move out wordpress on to a different db? what about speed? what if my forum receives allot of mysql usage?
A few days ago i was transferred to a different server within my hosting company. All of my sites remained the same except the only forum i have (phpbb3) now displays a blank page. All the files and database are still intact and nothing has been changed. Any suggestions as to how i would fix this problem? would it be best to backup the database and reinstall a new copy of phpbb?
I have configured a custom 500.100 Error for one of my web sites in IIS 6.0. However, the custom error page appears nested within the HTML of the page throwing the error, at the point the error occurs.
This is problematic as live errors are being overlooked when they appear late in the script as the majority of the page outputs normally.
On my development server IIS 5.1 this does not happen. The Custom Error Page is shown as its own page. The errors cannot go unnoticed.
How can I change IIS 6.0's Customer Error to behave like my development server, and do it just for the one web site concerned?
We've been looking at our web stats in Urchin 5 and it's reporting that almost 20% of our traffic is from our error page (error_page.html)
I have this set up to catch 404's. It's just the usual friendly error page that offers the user a search box to help them find what they're looking for.
My question is, how can I find out why this page is being called so much? I can't seem to find anything in the Urchin stats that shows me that foo.html was requested x times leading to a 404
We're using IIS 6.0 with a dog awful CMS on top called Site Executive. Not sure if that's relevant info but thought I'd throw it in there anyway.
=The last line in the .htaccess file is ErrorDocument 404 [url]
If someone tries to view a page that does not exist in the web site, the Custom 404 Error Page is displayed, properly.
I am trying to get Google to verify that I am the owner of this site (so I can use their Webmaster tools), and I have placed a page with a name they specified, in the site. Their verification fails, because, 'We've detected that your 404 file (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.' They need a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages. Note: Google does a HEAD request (not a GET request).
Also, I have noticed in the Webalizer statistics, there are no 404 codes listed with the other response codes! I know the Custom 404 page is getting a lot of hits, but, they are not shown in the statistics, because the wrong code is being sent.
The web site is small and the Custom Error page is with the other pages. I'm using MS FrontPage 2000.
Question: What do I need to change that line to, to get this to work properly, for Google and for my Webalizer statistics? Apache/1.3.27 (Unix)
All settings of the custom error page were made and worked correctly, however the next day the setting was lost after reset again and returned to work.
I have a problem with my server. I am trying to make a subdomain, and it isn't working. I create it like how in all tutorials says here( click here ) . I completed all fields, but when i try to open the subdomain in a browser page, it's telling me, page not found / page doesn't exist. I have a dedicated server on window server 2008 for my website with a dedicated IP.
Right now my stats system only shows from what website traffic is coming. I have google analytics aswell, and with all its functions, it does not tell me from exactly what webpage traffic is coming, and to what webpage the traffic is coming to.
So, let say someone is sending me traffic from www.reffererxxx.com/cool_video.html to www.mysite.com/super_cool_video.html
My statistics would only show that www.reffererxxx.com is sending traffic to www.mysite.com
Is there a way(a script/service/program) to find out exactly from what webpage the traffic is coming, and to what webpage of mine the traffic is going to? (I do not have server logs / webalizer / awstats as my server cannot handle the log processing due to high server loads)
One of my wordpress blogs got hacked and my site is redirecting to a different site.... When I check the phpmyadmin, there is another sql server that I am not familiar with... and there are around 17 table... I cannot delete the tables... I already contacted my host and still waiting for response...
The installed database is "information_schema (17)"
I recently had issues with HostGator and left them and now I am with MediaTemple... They are absolute crap. My site goes down with "sql errors" every day and it is pathetic.
What is the most cost effective host with the best speed and uptime for my blog?
I am an asp.net developer and want to host my blog. Which hosting provider will be ideal for asp.net blog? I have also seen that some of hosting providers provide blog hosting for blogengin.net or dasblog, should I go for them or should I go for the blog engine that I have built my self?
Implemented WordPress a little while ago via cPanel's Fantastico widget -- vanilla implementation.
Just about every day, I get spam comments in the blog's Inbox for moderation.
Was wondering if folks had general tips on how to prevent or minimize this sort of nuisance and make the blog less bot-accessible, and/or where I might read up on ways to do so.
I'm thinking about puttin up my first blog/site on news since I check news through the whole day anyways so it would be easy for me to manage as my first site. I was wondering how much bandwidth i need? I have a Hostgator "Baby" account [url]and was wondering if this is enough? Eventually I wanna add more sites and I'm worried about the space/bandwidth .. is it hard moving site from 1 server to another? From what I've seen there is a folder for the websites in the ftp but I know that hostgator does the wordpress installing so I'm not sure if I just copy the folder and move it to a bigger server will it save the site/plugins/etc.. the way it was as if it was on hostgator.. hope that makes sense also, usually how long is it to move a site from one server to another?
to migrate a friends Blog from a pre-hosted service to his own domain and hosting. A domain is no problem for me to get but hosting seems to have changed a bit since I last purchased it all myself. Looks like all the old hosting companies I used to use have disappeared, and many are offering monster deals that I really don't need for a Blog.
What I'm looking for is something cheap and simple. It's a British Blog but I would prefer American hosting just due to the cheaper conversion rates. I have no real preferences, just enough to host a Blog and a few images. What I would like is a host that is easy to upgrade should the Blog grow and need more for it.
I am in the process of having a blog developed the following capabilities:
1. Google sitemap - will be generated and pings google after every post you make 2. Will make the links of the blog to be static links with permalinks. 3. Will add social bookmarking facility to posts( possibility to add to delicious, ****, furl, etc) 4. 'Email this post' feature 5. 'Print this post' feature 6. Show how many times a post has been viewed 7. Will install Google adsense plugin, if required. 8. Show 'Recently posted' posts in sidebar 9. Add RSS feeds to blog [Bloglines, Add to Google, My Yahoo, My MSN, Newsgator, etc] 10. Will set up the blog to ping important services when you write a post 11. Change header and color scheme to match your current site 12. Install plugin to automatically hyperlink URL's 13. Install contact form plugin for drop-in form in any new/existing post/page. 14. Install external links plugin that adds a class="external" to all outbound links. 15. Will install Google Analytics Plugin For WordPress 16. Install plugin that shows Next/Previous Post in same Category 17. Site unavailable plugin - useful when you want to make your site unavailable for maintenance. 18. Install wordpress database backup plugin 19. Wysiwyg Editor plugin - provides a much better editor than the one that comes with wordpress 20. Will install Title tag optimization plugin so that you can specify customized title for each post. 21. Will install Meta tags optimization plugin to enable you to specify customized META DESCRIPTION, META KEYWORDS AND OTHER META TAGS FOR each post.
registering the domain with the host or should this be done elsewhere? If it shoudl be doen elsewhere where should it be done?
I'm currently on a 256mb RAM VPS plan with CPanel included at GoDaddy and hosting a wordpress blog which gets around 3000 uniques a day. My blog won't even last a day before the server crashes.
Now I've turned almost all plugins and turned off mail services and optimised MYSQL and HTTPD according to some articles on this forum, so I'll see how it turns out tomorrow. But I've still got a lot of functionality I want to add to the site.
It seems to be that this basic VPS plan is inadequate for my demands. Would anyone agree with this? (I got one opinion from another forum, saying it's definitely inadequate)
I'm going to be setting up and hosting a high-profile wordpress blog. It'll probably get around 800.000 pagehits per month. The client has been asking about Peak Capacity, Throughput and whatnot and I'm honestly am not sure what to tell him.
So far I've been maintaining a 1and1 windows 2003 dedicated server with about 20 websites, but none which comes close to that amount of traffic.
My plan is to go for a Linux box with the following specs:
1. which web hosting provider is good for starting web hoster like me?
2. i need web host who support wordpress as blog software and web hosting must be fair price and my blog contain only 10mb size and bandwidth may 1gb/month intial.
2. can i use more than one blog in same domain, if ok in that each blog can have their own wordpress blog software i.e i can instal more than one wordprss software in same domain and web host?
3. if i accept free domain register from my web hoster, then if i transfer my blog after 5 months or 9 months to different web host provider can i use same domain or it is not possible?
a while back I left some handmade comments in some computer related blogs not even close to spam but I put the keyword into the name field then....a few days later I found a .txt file named blogspam on my hosting account.. anybody had a similar experience...
I am hosting my wordpress blog on a web hosting that is not that reliable as it go down once in a while for few hours without any prior notification of sheduled maintenance.
However, i have a question. How do i migrate a wordpress blog with everything intact.. data, information, application, plugins, graphics and domain name?
Currently I am hosted with Aquarius Storage, who are a fantastic company and I will be posting a review of them soon, but however that is not my point. Due to the recent tragedy of the HyperVM creator committing suicide, I will have to pay more because AQ is switching to Virtuozzo. Because I simply run a somewhat large, growing blog, paying 36$ per month is kind of outrageous.
To make things short, I need a good host, that was superb uptime, and is optimized for a WordPress blog that gets around ~5k uniques, ~30k pagehits, ~100k spider hits per month. (all figures are growing, of course), and for the site to be optimized to be speedy fast.
