Does These Speed Test Files From Providers Help You Decide

Jul 3, 2008

I am in Europe, and during this week I´ve been doing some speed tests with the files most providers have on their website or they gave me the link here.

I am using a DSL 25Mpbs net connection for the tests.

Here some results from just 3 providers:

FDC (Chicago) - 250k
iWEB (Canada) - 1.2MB
Take2Hosting (San Jose, California) - 1.4MB

My point is, does these speed test file are of any use to have
an idea what speed you can expect with the servers?

The way I see it ,there´s so many variables (shared and how many shared servers for port,
your location, peak hours traffic, etc).

So how does this tests influence you to go for one provide, instead of another?

Speed Test

Apr 23, 2009

I recently setup WAMP on my dedicated, and I'm unsure if the slow download speed is from WAMP or something else I need to remove from the dedicated. Might just be the distance I am from the dedicated because it's hitting 88.74Mb/s down and 71.19Mb/s up from a local city.

It's located in Kansas city, MO.

Can a few people try to download the test file in [url] and tell me what speeds you get and from which location?

I'm comparing UK2 and RapidSwitch. I'm interested to know the d/l speeds from East/West coast USA, Asia, Australia. I'm assuming Europe would be fast.

How I Do My VPS Speed Test

Aug 31, 2007

I noticed that lately there are tons of cheap vps offers.

Before you pay for it ahead for next 5 years, test it.

From my experience with vpses going years back i do it this way.

Install Webmin if you do not have it.

Set it for https and MCS.Linux Them, one with all graphics.

Run WHT benchmark.

If you get a score 60+ great, test several times (day, night etc.).

Login into Webmin in https mode.

Go to others and click on System and Server Status.

If you get a full update under 8 sec that is good.

Reload few times and time it again.

In my opinion you are testing connectivity as well and not
only vps itself.

Otherwise i think you will be looking for another vps soon.

Download Speed Test

Oct 16, 2009

[url]

What download speed do you get

I have 100MB/Sec port and normally always get around 500-600kbps download speed with DedicatedNOW but today I am only getting around 170kbps

I have a 10mb connection and when downloading file from here [url]I get 1.2MB/sec download speed

I asked support to confirm if I had 100MB/sec port and got a reply with:

"Your server is on a 100mbps port:

-bash-3.2# ethtool eth0 |grep Speed:
Speed: 100Mb/s
-bash-3.2#"

Sounds like a local issue. I am able to download at:

Response: 226-File successfully transferred
Response: 226 32.674 seconds (measured here), 6.12 Mbytes per second

Why Don't Providers List RAM Speed

Mar 28, 2009

I'm curious as to why more dedicated server providers don't list RAM
speed in their server specs. To me, server performance is very important,
and the speed of the ram can certainly affect that.

It also might not be obvious to many people how to determine the speed
of the ram in your system. You can use the program lshw...

PHP Code:

#lshw
...
 *-bank:1
             description: DIMM 1333 MHz (0.8 ns)
             vendor: Manufacturer01 
             physical id: 1
             serial: 00000000
             slot: DIMM1
             size: 2GiB
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 1333MHz (0.8ns)

Checking For Streaming Capabilities [traceout, Ping, Speed Test]

May 8, 2009

We have a dedicated streaming server with Leaseweb in Netherlands that we use primarily to stream video content to North American clients. This server only utilize 75 to 80% of it's allowed bandwidth capacity. However, some clients have buffering issues with the live content.

When we talk to Leaseweb they have asked us to provide traceroute between server and client. Can some one please explain to me what below traceroute means in terms of streaming?

Hop(ms)(ms)(ms)IP AddressHost name

Trace complete

We usually ask clients to do a speedtest to Netherlands. Most of the time their speeds are ok. I am hoping some one with streaming experience can advice me so I can ask Leaseweb for help.

Test Files

Jul 5, 2007

I decided this probably belongs in its own thread. It's also posted in Colo Suggestions/Help. Maybe mods can remove it there?

I think it'd be nice to have a thread with test files from a bunch of different colo providers. In particular I'm looking for ColoPronto and Colo4Dallas, but hopefully people will post from data centers all over to help others that are shopping around as well.

I have tested the Colostore test file[url] from a few connections I readily have access to.

My home Comcast cable connection downloads at about 480kbps.

My work T1 connections downloads about the same. But my works Comcast cable connection can only download it at about 40kbps, and it takes well over an hour to download.

Does anyone have any insight as to why this may be?

Also, does anyone know where I can find a test file for ColoPronto and Colo4Dallas?

Anyone willing to post one for me if there are none available from the DC? I would really like to test speeds.

Speed Up Serving Large Files

Nov 9, 2009

I'm working on a web site which will basically be a flash games portal. I have a dedicated server running Apache 2 on a 100mbit dedicated line but my download speed for large files (flash files of over 5mbs) is really slow. I am thinking this is because of Apache but I don't know much about this. I've read that I should change for a lighter http server for serving static files. The way my server is set up is I have 2 virtual machines running, one doing the PHP processing and the other serving static files, both running Apache, so if I have to change HTTP server for the static files it would be very easy. Although I am not sure if this is necessary or if I can tune Apache to push files faster than this.

Can't Decide On A Xen VPS Provider

Jul 21, 2008

I'm currently split between vpslink, slidehost, wowvps, swvps, tektonic, linode

My requirements are
1) Must be Xen based. No Virtuozzo or OpenVZ.
2) Min 512MB
3) Budget: USD 30-40/mth
4) Unmanaged is fine as long as I have a control panel (Cpanel, Lxadmin are ok)

Tektonic meets all of the above except 1.
Linode, Slidehost meets all of the above except 4.

So i'm left with with vpslink, wowvps or swvps.

Which one should I choose? I'm leaning towards VPSlink.

Is there any other good Xen-based VPS providers that i should be considering?

Decide Between VPS, Dedicated Server Or Cloud

Oct 28, 2009

we are about to launch the public version of our website, and we are having trouble deciding which type of server to start with. We've reading a lot and contacting all providers to get a quote, but we haven't been able to take a decision. Maybe somebody with more experience can help us...

- most of our users are going to be (for the time being) in Spain. We plan to move to other markets in the future, but not before one year.

- we understand that the server location (or it's IP address) is important in terms of SEO, that's why we've been looking into spanish providers or providers that offer spanish IPs. This SEO thing is the main reason we have ignored Amazon ec2, which, on the paper, seems to be a very good option for websites that expect to increase their traffic rapidly.

- we are going to start with very few users, but we expect to be in >5000 users/day very soon. Hopefully, we will keep a steady growth for the next months, but this is something we can't anticipate for sure.

- our website is based on PHP&MySQL. Each user consumes quite a lot of memory, and queries to the database are very frequent and quite heavy in processing. On the local version (iMac - 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - 2GB RAM), a typical query from a single user takes around 2 seconds. We still have to do some optimization, but there is not much room for it left...

- our budget is 150-200 Euro/Month, but we would be able to increase it in case we find out it is needed in order to have a decent website.

- we are no experts in Linux sys-admin, but we can do the basic stuff, such as installing, configuring Apache, etc.

Therefore, we need 'something' that is powerfull enough to satisfy our users and that is easily&transparently scalable in case we have a sudden increase of users. From our readings on this forum and others, we understand that VPSs are not powerfull enough for us. On the other hand, dedicated servers are not easy to adapt to an increase in the number of users. Finally, in Spain we have found that Arsys is offering what they call 'cloud server', which looks similar to Amazon's ec2. We haven't been able to find any objective review on this Arsys offering, so we don't know how good it is. Anyone has worked with this system?

RAID Or Not To RAID: Trying To Decide On A New Server

Jul 11, 2008

I've been talking to the Planet about trading in my four and a half year old "SuperCeleron" (from the old ServerMatrix days) Celeron 2.4 GHz system for something new. As part of their current promotions, I've configured a system that looks decent:

Xeon 3040, 1 gig of RAM, 2x250GB hard disks, RHEL 5, cPanel+Fantastico, and 10 ips for $162.

Not too bad. I could bump up the ram to 2 gb for, I think, $12 more, which I'm thinking about and wouldn't mind some thoughts on. But, the thing that has me really confused is RAID. I like the idea of doing a RAID 1 setup with those two hard disks. But, the Planet wants $40/month for a RAID controller to do it. I really don't want to go over $200 a month!

Any thoughts on alternative redundancy strategies that might avoid that cost? Software RAID does not seem to be offered by the Planet, unless I can figure out how to do it after installation (is that possible?) Better ideas in general on the server?

Speed- At FDC ( Speed Tests )

Sep 14, 2007

I am having some serious speed issues with my 1Gbit server at FDC. After opening a ticket, they've simply dismissed it as a server configuration problem. However I am convinced it isn't because certain ISP's (usually universities) get good speeds, usually 700kb/sec but the vast majority of my users get between 20-50 kb/sec and it's causing a lot of complaints.

Furthermore I have other servers with FDC which are 100mbit which perform better than my 1 Gbit one. There are no server bottlenecks (CPU/RAM/HDD), since I've closely monitored them (PRTG) and they aren't even heavily utilised. So the problem is with the network at some point.

Speed Test : [url]

where abouts you are downloading from, your ISP and net connection. Wget's from servers are also welcome as are traceroutes.
