I'm starting a youtube clone / streaming video site and I need some info on hosting and bandwidth.
1.) Does anyone have any information, or can provide me with a link to information, about the costs required?
2.) I know bandwidth is the biggest cost. Does anyone know what kind of prices I will be paying per gigabyte? I heard its 5 - 15 cents per gigabyte (and dropping) - is this accurate, and where can i get the best rate while still having a reliable host that can handle a lot of traffic? Is there any kind of a list out there?
3.) Besides bandwith, what other costs are involved - for example, is storage space expensive? Will I need a dedicated server, and how much does this run? Other costs?
I have a need to create about 50 clones of a user account. Obviously, they would each have thier own url and username.
I have WHM and root access to my server.
The reason I want to clone is because it will save massive time versus doing each one individually because the sites are exactly the same. My client is basically just using a parking page script.
I just purchased a 500GB ATA hard drive (meant to get SATA but must have misordered, but I don't think it makes that much difference) to replace a 80GB SATA hard drive on a Windows Server 2003 server. There are two partitions on the 80GB drive, and rather than add the new HD as a third partition, I would like to clone the data on the 80GB drive to the 500GB drive, then increase the partition sizes and remove the 80GB completely. Is there a specific method or software I can use to accomplish this?
i have found a nice script "phpmotion.com" and itīs freeee and i need help to upgrade the software of my vps.
i have a linux vps cpanel/whm 512ram guaranteed 30GB space 450GB bandwith...
how can i upgrade the gd library to higher version(captcha code not working on my sites) and what is the command line to write on ssh console for this software:
- FFMpeg - LAME MP3 Encoder - Libogg + Libvorbis - Mencoder and also Mplayer - FFMpeg-PHP - Be able to run background processes
Is it possible to clone centos 4.6.x + cpanel 11 hard drive to brand new disk with same capacity? just like we clone hard drives in windows with noton ghost ?.
I have a server with failing hard drive (smart errors) and drive must be replaced soon but i feel lazy to restore everything from backup hard drive and was thinking it will be smart to just copy mirror of primary hard drive from original hard drive to knew one. Is this possible?
I do have 2 backup copies, so don't worry about that .
Btw, i found this link which says its possible but i am not sure. Please suggest.
to install in my VPS the vShare script and I have a headache with this issue, and I decide to contract an installation service. HostOnNet offers this service by $25.
I want to know if you meet this company or other that offers the same. I don't matter the price, if they are good.
I want to be able to clone a existing virtual machine image(whether it's openvz or xen) and deploy it.
It's sort of like Amazon EC2.
I want to set up a virtual machine image once. Then deploy it(it doesn't matter whether it's on the same physical machine or not) to a new machine or overriding existing image on a existing machine. It's fine that the VPS provider charge me a monthly charge for every virtual machine I deploy.
This way, I only need to maintain one master virtual machine. It'd be even better if I can export a image to my own machine, modify it locally, then upload it for deployment.
I am a working on a website which will be more diverse but will work in the same way SWOOPO and many other auctions websites work with bids being placed etc.
I do not want to run the site on a hired dedicated server, I have a budget of around Ģ5000 (around USD $8000) to buy a server. I was thinking of buying something from ebay, I am as of yet undecided exactly what to buy but I am leaning towards an affordable DELL 1855 blade chassis with the full 10x blades that is available. I have already made enquiries with datacentres in London about colocation costs, just waiting for an official quote.
Each blade has:
2 x Intel Xeon 3.6Ghz/1Mb Processors Both Installed 4096MB ECC RAM 1 x 36GB U320 10k Hot-Swap SCSI Hard Drives PERC 4/iM RAID Controller
Further information in the advert:
Blade Centre Components:
1 x Digital KVM Module
1 x 10 Port Gigabit pass Through Module
1 x DRAC/MC Module (1 x Serial Port, 1 x 10/100 RJ45 Port for Remote Management)
3 x 1200Watt Power Supplies
7U Rackmount Chassis (No Rails Supplied)
All housed in PE1855, 7U Rackmount Blade Centre
Optional Gigabit Ethernet Daughter Cards Available @ Ģ60.00 per Blade
This can give 72ghz of processing power with 40GB RAM and that is awesome. Does anyone know an approximate figure of how many customers/queries the server can handle at % rates? I know this depends on the size of the database and so on but I am just looking for estimates please.
I know I will need at least two cheap servers for a SWOOPO clone, one to run the website and the other for the SQL so rather than do that and get two servers I thought this route was better when weighing up the 7u size along with 72ghz processing power.
I am not looking for advice and tips on hiring a dedicated server but I really would appreciate some advice on what server to buy because the script is nearly 95% complete and we should be launching within 6-7 weeks after heavily testing it.
how to handle the file storage of a youtube clone?
Is it just a matter of getting more servers with a few hdds or are there specialized companies that one can upload files over a distributed file streaming network?
The reason I ask is because I have thousands of gigabytes of videos and it appears to be impossible to upload it on 1 dedicated server or even a few.
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
I'm making a reasonably uninformed comparison here. Since Windows Vista is noted to be more resource intensive and slower than Win XP, are we right in assuming that Windows 2008 is slower than Windows 2003?
For instance, with two boxes with an identical hardware setup but the two different server OSes, will the same application like, say MySQL run slower on the Win 2008 machine?
There seem to be strong forum rules in place about the kinds of posts that hosters can make.
But from my perspective it is somehow leaving a large gap in useful information I would like to know that I can't quite put my finger on right now.
So I would like to get responses from Windows hosters in this thread without violating any forum spam guidelines and I sure hope I'm not wasting my time here with this concept but here goes...
So, the topic:
Ultimately, the thing Windows Web Hosters are providing is the delivery of information that has been constructed by developers using program code they have assembled using a large array of mostly .NET technology.
The reason the Hoster is providing Windows hosting is that a sufficiently large enough population of Web Developers have been attracted to some aspect of the Windows technology stack.
And there is certainly lots of innovative and interesting technology that attracts developers to focus on .NET in just the same way that there is also interesting technology in the Linux world.
So here's the problem. It appears as if the Windows hosting companies with the odd exception have almost no interest in Windows and .NET technology.
But if they actually did have such an interest, it is not clear how they would communicate it for discussion here at WHT because of the spam rules and of course trying to communicate anything at all about hosting on the general internet is just swamped by spam. The noise level is just insane!
So I am hoping that such a discussion can take place in this thread by asking some very specific questions:
1. What interesting Microsoft technology have you researched, tested or played with lately?
2. What programs or scripts have you personally developed lately to investigate .NET 3.5 features?
3. What do you think of XBAP delivery from the net and why do you think it hasn't caught on in a larger way since it sure delivers a richer client experience than Flash or even Silverlight.
4. What do you think of Azure and will Microsoft let hosters be part of the cloud anytime soon? Can you think of useful or interesting Azure mashups from a hosting perspective?
5. Have you tried any totally silly and insane things with the .NET runtime inside of SQL Server 2005/2008 that would give your DB guys a heart attack?
6. Have you tried out the Google systems where you give your employees 20% of company time to play around with personal projects like this?
I have faced the following ftp backup error in windows plesk 11.5.30
Transport error: unable to send directory to repository: Transport error: unable to put local file C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskPrivateTemp/repo_transport_tmp_01cf171bcedd7710ackup_1401220130.zip to backup_1401220130.zip: Curl error: Failure when receiving data from the peer
Prior to using plesk, I had a few sites that had SSL certificates installed, the old fashioned way (manually through IIS). I have now setup those domains in plesk, and I need to somehow make PLESK aware of these SSL certificates.Right now, I setup the domain in plesk, give it a dedicated IP, and allow SSL connections. It chooses the default certificate and my already installed in IIS SSL certificate isnt listed.
Is there any way I can get it listed? I went to the add an SSL area, and it seems that this area is only good for generating new SSL certificates, but mine is good for another 1+ years.The bummer is that for some reason, anytime I make any type of change to the site in plesk, that it seems to overwrite the SSL bindings and changes my manual changes to the correct certificate (through iis) back to the default certificate.
I need to buy a windows vps ram:atleast 700 or 1gb ram and atleast 10gb hd,i need remote desktop connection, gonna run a .exe batch file coded outta java,where can i buy a vps like this such where for a good deal?
how is this pricing possible considering the licensing cost of Windows Server 2003 Ent?
I am not familiar with Microsoft's SPLA program, but I would imagine individual licenses for every single VPS would leave this company with a really small profit margin.
