I am going to be having a site where users upload and view videos so i need fast streaming.
soft layer offers this
0Mbps Public / Private Port Upgrade $0.00
100Mbps Public / Private Port Upgrade $10.00
1000Mbps Public / Private Port Upgrade $20.00
Can someone breifly describe to me the difference in having more MBPS and how this would affect the performance of a site like mine and its function?
Also can someone ellaborate on these 2 and the differences between metered bandwith and unmetered. They offer 100 dollars per extra TB and then following below so im lost as to what unmetered means, because their is no way it means unlimited right?
10Mbps Unmetered Public Bandwidth $100.00
100Mpbs Unmetered Public Bandwidth $2000.00
i currently have a site on a .co.uk domain. my client would like the "main" domain to be .com instead. I should add that BOTH .com and .co.uk will be used.
The company is advertising itself as thesite.com, so people will associate the business with www.thesite.com, not .co.uk.
I have both domains, and I understand domain mapping is used for this purpose, but before I go and screw up anything, could someone please clarify.
Is it possible to "domain map" so that visitors go to www.thesite.com, they will see the website as .com, but the site itself will actually be on the ".co.uk" server.
I don't particuarly want to transfer the site from the .co.uk to the .com and set up a redirect.
I know I could use a redirect .com to .co.uk, but the client specifically wants ".com" to be the site visitors view. (they bought .co.uk and set the site up first, just to be annoying)
I had just sat down to click on the "buy now" button of a web host service provider when I just had a few more doubts.
I am faced with a few queries like the domain name I need to buy. At the moment, I have not made a proper site for anyone. I am experimenting with a few example sites only. One of my good friends, who is a cricket coach told me that he needs to modify his site. He told me that I can use his site to experiment and learn. So I am now trying to make a site using his images, header etc but with a few modifications. His site contains a home page, a contact page, an image gallery and also a registration page where he wants the students to give their details like name, age, school and submit the details.
Now, I have just managed to have a home page, a contact page and a plain gallery page with a few images. I also made a registration page where the student can submit the details. But I have not been able to test the form on my page to see if it works.
Now this is what I want. I do not have a site of my own now. But I need to have a web host who will give me php support so that I can test whatever page I make. When I am satisfied that I can venture out and make a website for somebody, I intend to start offering my services to my friends (for a nominal fee or even for free if it is going to help me to learn. I do not want to take money for a sloppy site or take my friends for a ride. I want to be able to offer quality service for whatever I charge).
My question now is this. When I need to register for a domain name, is it a good idea to just have a domain name like www.jppp.com ( if it is available or a similar name). Then can I try out the various pages that I make on this site? Once I get my domain name, I need to download a ftp client in order to upload my files, isn't it? Once I am a little confident and offer my services to a client, I make a site on my PC with all the files required. Then do I upload the files to my own domain name to show it to the client for his approval? Or should I have a domain name of my client's choice and then upload it there before making any changes that he wants?
One more question. In my gallery page, I have a few thumbnail images which shows a larger version on hover. Now I can upload the pages which my friend has provided me. But my friend will have many images which he needs to be able to upload himself instead of having to depend on me? I know that I need to use PHP for this. But I do not know the exact method. Can I be shown the way or directed to a tutorial? Will I have to let my client know that the size of the images should not exceed a certain limit? Being a layman, he will not know how to resize images which I can easly do in photoshop, isn't it? What if his images are too many and exceed the amount of webspace that I have?
I've been working with the Apache server (primary under CentOS, but some under Red Hat and on XAMPP stacks as well) and have been tasked with a project.
Periodically, we need to have our web sites down for maintenance - updates, backups, etc. What I've been told to do is find a way to have a 'front end' to our web sites so that, when they are down for maintenance, that then end-users will receive a message 'This site is down for maintenance till XX:XX AM/PM' or such.
Here are my questions:
- What would you call what I am trying to setup? The reading I've done implies that what I really want to setup is a reverse proxy server. Is that what I want to do? - If it isn't a reverse proxy I want to set up, what do I want to setup? - Of the different types of solutions available, What I could use for this? I've read about using Nginx in front of Apache, I've heard of Squid, I've heard about Tomcat. - Is this a type of 'clustering/high availability' project I'm really looking at here? I've been hearing those terms thrown about as well.
In case it makes any kind of a difference, the Apache instances are pretty simple - PHP, MySQL and that's about it - not very involved (for now). I'm hoping that I can learn what/how to do this correctly and, when I'm ready to add more capabilities, that I'll be able to extrapolate out from there what I'd need to do.
I am not sure if this is a dumb question or not but here it is anyway, if there is a website and some of the images are hosted on a third party site (ie. photobucket), does the bandwith for those loaded from the third party site count as the sites hosting bandwith?
In my opinion I do not believe it does because it is making a call to the image on the other hosting server, but a friend of mine who manages a forum said that once the users started using more animated signatures that the site bandwith went up by almost 40%, but all signatures are hosted on other sites.
i launched my site 1 month ago on host gators shared hosting plan and grew very quickly, and now am going to pass the 2 TB limit any hour / day so im freaking out. I dont know what to do i need to find a hosting company that offers a lot of bandwith and moderate HD space i need somehwere around 4 TB a month bandwith and 100 GIG HD my budget is from 100 -150 dollars a month.
Also i was approached by someone offering colocation services to host my files on their services is this good as well i have no idea? my site is a music sharing website where people upload and listen to music.
dedicated host provider [url] and trying to determine the options from them in regards to bandwith. If I decide to go with them I will be using them to host a youtube clone site
has any body had experience with them?
Here is their deal Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU 1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Ram 250 GB SATA300 Drive Unmetered Bandwidth I'm planning to ugrade the ram to 4gb at 300.00 one time extra.
They claim Free 24 hr On-Site Support so I called them up last night at 3:30am their time and did get a technition on the line. They also refer to themselves as being "fully managed" and describe in detail what that means in their faq.
Their BW is unmetered and unshared 10mbps = 3,285 gigs/mo or 4mbps 1,314 gigs/month burstable to 100 mbps going over this limit the charge is 49.00 for each 328.5 gigs
So because I'm a start up and have no idea what will be required in terms of BW. here is the question
If I had a limit on uploads of 200 mb and the average size of the videos being downloaded were 20 mb how many people could be online at the same time?
I'm not even sure if that's the right way to look at it.
Currently I am using Linux + cPAnel and using the port 25 for email sevrer. Currently we facing 1 problem is, some user's ISP is not support port. May I know how can I add additional port into server and allow users to send mail by different port?
Im currently running a streaming media (video) site on a p4 3.0 GHz with 2 gigs of ram. I think its a 10mpbs unmetered port. It streams extremly slow, to the point where it lags every second. It does this even though their is only 6 people on, with loads of 200 it just freezes up. What configuration would be able to hold traffic of 200 people constantly. I was on a faster server with hostgator, their dedicated pro but i went through the bandwidth in 5 days.
Just wondering really, if you have a 1U cooler like an Akasa AK-CC029-5 or Dynatron P199, do these generally run full speed 24x7 or should they be bios controlled?
I've never had any cooling issues or reliability issues with either of these coolers, but they don't seem to want to be controlled through the bios on all of the boards I have used, so they run full whack 24x7
My site is on forumotion right now. I want to move it and have it hosted somewhere. It is a local Mustang club. I have read all the problems with the oversold sites. I have also looked at others. The big issue is i dont rally know how much space I need. This is the site southshorestangs.com. What it will have is that forum and probably a few webpages. It is still only a month old so it will keep growing hopefully. i just dont want to get way more than I will need.
i see that there is 84/month and a 119/month VPS, which offer burstable 100mbps unmetered...i also heard they use shared line.
so what is the max bandwith that i can really push in a month ? i am okay with users loading the site @ 100kb/s, especially because the site has lot of videos through flash player, and 100kb/s or even 50kb/s sounds good.
if there are anyone that can beat FDC than please refer me to them!
For those of you that complain about the slow loading speed of your sites due to being on over-loaded servers or over-sold bandwidth, why do you think that the discounted rate is worth the loss of customers that you might earn if your site loaded faster.
Have you ever given your sites a try on a quality host where your site loaded faster? You might be surprised at how much more effective your marketing was when surfers stay around long enough to see your site load.
Some times in the effort to secure such a great deal and save a penny, you wind up loosing a dollar, it might not make a difference to all of you but some will be surprised at the ROI for a bit better hosting!
how to tune linux (currently running fedora4) server to improve download speeds for the client. I have observed that if i download from sun it is very fast compared my own server which is hosted on cogent backbone or any other.
Please take into account that both mine and other server both are at relatively same number of hops and ping time. and my server and the carrier has enough bandwidth to fill whole 100mbps, even the client is a server which is on a different backbone which can fill whole 100mbps, also guys i was able to fill whole 100mbps while downloading from sun. but when i download test file from my server it is lagging at 3mbps around. only single thread using wget command. Now what is it i need to do to get my server able to push full pipe even for single thread, ping time is 25ms. if not full at least half. let me know if you have some workaround, and server is apache no load.
moving away from PRTG, and go to something that is equivalent on a unix* distro. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for something nearly identical to Paessler's product with mutiple sensors, and assigned users, coupled with 95th and GB billing via snmp. This needs to an independent system, preferably with Bandwith Graphing the sole purpose.
i am changing my hosts from hostgator to the JustHost or ImHosted.
I am trying to buy shared hosting plan. I DO NOT want a video sharing website. My website will serve around 100-150 videos of each 5 mints duration.
I am confused about speed of these hosts.
My questions are
1. How can i check the speed of these hosts (JustHost) & (ImHosted). (Any sample file download will do)
2. How can i know which of these host has the fastest data transfer rate to my country. (PAKISTAN)
3. ImHosted says it has OC-192, JustHost says it has OC-96. But how to confirm it?
I am inclined towards JustHost as they are way cheaper than ImHosted. But i am also concerned about speed. Will a OC-96 connection(JustHost) will serve a 5mint video well.?
I'm currently using ipower, which just switched to fewer but larger servers. The impact for me is a new throttle in download speed, which is about 350KB/sec (although I can do FTP downloads when logged in at 500KB/sec. Previously, with the more but smaller servers, you just got a share of what was available on the server with no throttle, and when activity was low on a server, it was enough to max out my cable's limitation of about 1.5MB/sec (12 mega-bits / second).
It seems that few web hosting sites will specify typical download speeds from a web hosting account. I'm hoping that members here could report what they are getting from various web hosting services.
My web site is
jeffareid.net
A "hobby" web site, mostly videos from car racing games, just niche market enough to not attract excessive traffic.
I just found that my VPS uses ADSL - which makes no sense since the download speed into vps isn't important, it is the upload speed. BTW, it has 100mbps port - so the port is fine, it is the network.
1. What upload speeds are available for VPS's (in mid price range)?
I serve mp3 dj mixes for some friends and am coming up on the end of my current hosting contract here in the next couple of months. They have been a fantastic host the only reason I am working on looking elsewhere is cost-related.
I got a unbelievable deal when I signed up last year and it would run me almost $300 to renew for another year, which is out of my price range.
Aside from great uptime (99.97% over 10 months), the thing I really like about the current host is their download speed. I have a 1mb cable connection at home and consistently download files at 850ish/kbps. Everyone I have spoken with has experienced similar speeds. This is much faster than any host I have ever used and is twice as fast as another host I use.
So, what I am looking for is a host that offers something similar in that regard that's around $10/month and optimally has coupons/deals floating around.
I would be happy getting 650kbps/sec, obviously the faster the better. Uptime is always a consideration, however this is more of a hobby and I am not expecting the same uptime that I get currently.
I am not against using a dreaded 'overseller' for this venture, I just need something that pushes large files fast.
I have plenty of time to find a new host, but would like to start getting a short list put together so I can request test files and whatnot.
Im currently with host gator and have nothing but amazing things to say but i have a music streaming website and its eating up bandwith like crazy but at least the cpu usage of the shared hosting is not that high but i will definitley pass my 2 terabyte mark within the month. My question is even on the dedicated hosting plans on host gator they still dont offer a lot of bandwith so does anyone know any very reliable and good companies that offer a LOT of bandwith for a moderate price. I was looking at liquid web dedicated which offers 3 terabytes as i hear their super reliable and professional
I have a dedicated server with godaddy. Yesterday it went down. I sent a trouble ticket to their support. In 4 hours I got reply saying that everything is fine and server is just experiencing high bandwith. I was able to login to control panel (which is available through different IP address, and I have noticed that my usual 8 gigs a day bandwidth increased to 160 a day for yesterday. I cannot SSH to my server. I cannot access my website via http. I cannot FTP to my server. I cannot do anything. I have submitted another ticket and waiting fro reply.
Any suggestions? Is this an attack? (I feel it is, but not sure) What kind of attack can bring server down, if I have CISCO firewall installed? I am little upset with godaddy, because so far, my server has been down for over a day. Any providers out there, who are more rapid in terms of helping their customers? FYI: I pay them $150 a month.
