I've been asked to look for a offsite ftp server solution as an alternative to having one inhouse attached to a 20-100mbps leased line. It will be used for storing ISO images of DVD's from client sites, must have a fast connection, reliable and full security.

main tasks
- Download/Upload files from/to my other servers very fast.
- 1 GBps Port
- Storage no more 250 GB .
- 600 GB Traffic
- access the server from the IP no domain
- Cheaper always better : )
What offers / recommendation do you have for me?
a collocation facility that can handle the high demands of video streaming, live and on-demand. I am current peeking 90 megs on live streams which usually last for a couple hours, the on demand is not that high it’s about 10 mbs average. I am located in Jacksonville FL not that it matters but the closer the better. Does anyone know of any good collocation facilities

Currently we have DSL, but the upload speed inst cutting it, our current plan is:
Download: 1.5mbps
Upload: 512kbps
1 Dynamic IP
We are looking for something with the following:
Download: 1.5mbps or greater
Upload: 1.5mbps or greater
1 Static IP Address
Can anybody recommend any solutions in particular? Is t1 the only solution? We want to keep costs inline, and under $150 a month.
I am trying to develop plans for my small 'datacenter'. My Question is how many shared hosting users (sites) can be on one server. While this question is broad, please assume a general distribution of users (sites) and the following server configuration (and lets ignore the datacenter network/uplink for the meoment):
Xeon Quad Core 5410 processor
8 GB RAM
Windows 2003 or 2008 Server O/S
How about if a mySQL database is added (to the same server?)
I recently started looking at some of the panel systems and it seems that a typical configuration is 'all-in-one', that is a Web Server, Database and email server - do these perform well?
Is there any rule of thumb for Windows servers such as zz MB Ram per user; # of users per processor; # of user per processor core?
I would like some advice and to see if this is a good approach to setup a server / web business.
The idea is to start off providing very basic web hosting functionality for smaller sites.
I was thinking about purchasing two similar or identical servers (RAID1 disks) + server fully mirrored.
In case 1 falls out the 2nd one takes over. DNS services is at startup located on other servers in the DC.
If this works out then I'd be looking at increasing servers with clusters or LVS.
I'm having a very hard time finding resources and information of the load and server capacity.
I was thinking about a system like this:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 , RAID 1 SATA disks (preferrably Raptor), 2 GB of RAM.
This would then be running LAMP. I would limit the traffic to 5-10GB transfer / month per account.
(most account would not nearly get up to this figure).
Is there a ballpark figure at about how many web sites this server could handle ?
Are we talking about 50 ? 20 ? 100 ?
High bandwidth, fast speed, any cp, basic hardware-manag. only, trustable
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to start a website on a shoestring budget, but my programmer and host want to squeeze more out of us. We currently have a Custom VPS, w/cPanel and WHM. Everytime I try to upload a file(s) more than 10 mb, it will not go thru. My programmer told me to ask the server to increase capacity, they tell me it will cost me. My programmer says the same thing. Now if my programmer can do it, I assume it will be done through cPanel. Is there anyway I can do it myself, so for example, a file of lets say 25 mb will get uploaded? I have access to my cPanel.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhat would be the site hosting capacity of a dedicated server in terms of numbers of small sites.
1000 visitors a day for example.
Perhaps 5 page views a vistor and each site having a VBulletin as a sub-domain.
Would it be best to run them all off one dedicated server or each site just off a small hosting plan?
For organizational purposes it seems the dedicated server would be the way to go?
I have a request to built a standard 32 bit Windows 2003 server as big as possible using standard parts. I am thinking if i use 750GB x 4 Raid 5, that will give me 2.1TB of usable space. Is there any limitations or bottlenecks I should be wary about?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have found SL can offer you 12*1 TB drive based systems, after RAID-5 and Win 2003 install you get just over 10 TB of storage. The monthly price works out to $1000/Month.
I know some time ago LeaseWeb offered these type of storages....any one else know of any others ?
Amazon S3 works out to about $1500 for 10 TB
I have a cPanel server with 4GB RAM
My server hangs time to time, once or twice a day. This is the last status when it happens.
Server Load 75.90 (2 cpus)
Memory Used 92 %
Swap Used 65.78 %
When I was still inside SSH when it happens, the processes I can see inside "top" are a lot of httpd processes.
So I "killall -9 httpd", I had to do it 30~40 times
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
x 30~40 times until no pid process found & the server load is back to normal.
Before that, I check httpd fullstatus, they look very normal, same goes to what I see inside WHM Apache status & cpu usage status.
At first I thought it was a memory problem after consulting with a server admin, so I replaced all 4GB new ram stick (such a waste)
My server is very slow, High CPU, High Apache load....
I got a new server and i had setup a script on it.
No server tweaks has been done.
I run a filehosting site so it gets very slow when traffic is high.
Here is some info:

I dont know much about server managment...
how to fix this so server doesnt go slow?
I have a site that is eating up my server resources and need to know what the best solution for this is. I'm thinking of getting another server just for mysql but do not know what specs the server should be to handle the current traffic/database load and have the site run smoothly without slowing down to a snail's pace.
An alternative is to get another server just for the videos being served and leave the database and html on the current server. This is where I'm stuck and don't know what route to take with this.
My current server stats:
Dual Xeon 5130
4GB RAM
250GB
50 Mbit/sec
CentOS 3.9
Website traffic stats:
15,000 visitors/day
150,000 pageviews/day
Serving videos
I've attached screenshots of top and bandwidth usage per day. Hopefully with this information you could tell me if I need another server or if there are any things I can do to the current server to help things move faster.
This is my first post here, though I've been an occasional reader for a long time.
I currently have a VPS at Godaddy, plus shared hosting at Godaddy, 1and1, and Namecheap.
I'm very unhappy with Godaddy, and not terribly thrilled with 1and1. Also, I want to consolidate my sites.
I have appx. 25 sites, with plans for another 20-25. Most are either WP blogs, or static informational sites (using Xsitepro). Most are low-volume (appx. 100 visitors/day). A few, maybe 5, are low-medium volume (a few hundred visitors/day).
The sites are pretty basic, mostly Adsense, affiliate sales, and the like. No streaming anything except the occasional video clip.
I'm considering Futurehost's current offer for 50% off lifetime on their Titanium package w/ cPanel. This provides 1Gb RAM. Any reason to think this would not be adequate for my current and future plans (currently appx. 25 sites, going up to 50 within 12 months)?
I'm pretty sure bandwidth will be way more than adequate, I'm just wondering if a 1Gb VPS will be enough for all my sites.
A question about backups:
So, we have a dedicated server with 2 x 146GB SAS HDD Hot Plug (max 4-6) and running WHM/cPanel
the two disks are in RAID.
Noticed, cpanel wasn't making backups, so apparently we need to install additional disks for it to start to do so. cpanel makes 3 backups - daily, weekly, monthly; home directory is set to around 100GB. So does that mean we would need to put in two additional SAS disks per server just to manage backups or does anyone have other experience how this is best dealt with?
What does customer mean when he says he needs -"switch that has 10g of egress capacity to the internet"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a website currently hosted on a Godaddy shared hosting plan.
Visitors to the site have reported getting "Service Unavailable" messages at times. When I talked to Godaddy about this, they say I am exceeding the limits they put on simultaneous page requests (or something to that effect). For my plan this limit is set at 100.
I upgraded to their highest shared hosting plan, and this limit now goes up to 150 simultaneous requests. This will probably solve the problem for a while, but I think the site will grow enough to have a problem at 150, and I need to figure out what to do when this happens.
The site currently gets about 4800 visitors a day, and uses around 5 gb of bandwidth per day.
The site is: BuildItSolar dot com
Questions:
- Am I likely to find a shared hosting plan that is better on this limit than Godaddy?
- Is the site getting large enough that some form of virtual dedicated server or dedicated server is going to be necessary?
- Godaddy offers virtual dedicated servers, and dedicated servers. I wonder what I would need to go to solve the problem, and provide some capacity margin for growth?
Is the lowest level of virtual dedicated server really going to provide any better performance than the shared hosting plan I have now? Godaddy was not very helpful on answering these questions.
- Any recommendations for virtual dedicated server or dedicated server outfits that are good?
Sorry about so many questions on my first post. Wish I knew more about this whole hosting thing.
I just moved my site to dedicated server due to shared hosting capacity problem. Again I am facing Too many connection problem, when i contacted go daddt they replied as follow

Thank you for contacting Server Support. There are a couple of things you might want to check. First is how you have your httpd service configured. Make sure you have sufficient MaxClients defined in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Additionally you will want to refer to your /etc/my.cnf file to make sure you have it configured to allow as many max_connections and max_user_connections as are needed.
I am using Redhat Fedora with Plesk as control Panel. Any help how i can change this Max_user_connections?
I would like to find a host with good quality & uptime that has large disk capacity for hosting IMAP email, about 10 to 20 gigs in size per domain.
I know of places like Bluehost and powweb but I'm not crazy about the 'overselling' issues related to them....
Any Ideas?
I'm trying to find a tool that will thrash a site to the break point and report where that is. This is for testing sites before they go online so that they don't go online and then drop offline because they can't handle the load.

CPU/processing wise, and not bandwidth wise?
I've two shared hosting accounts, one is hostgator and other is godaddy.
I've uploaded a file (.flv) on hostgator and same file on godaddy.
here a link to both
Hostgator flv
Goddady flv
Now i am use a Download manager " free download manager" to download files
The hostgator file downloads at 17-35kb/s
The godaddy file downloads at 200kb/s
I am using 2Mbps dsl.
Also my hostgator cpanel loads slow. and other files are downloads at very low max 40kb/s.
What are the issues. I've contacted hostgator support and they say that every thing is ok on their end.
I have to stream videos on hostgator but the speed is too slow. and it buffers alot.
What would be best method to test quality of server?For example,how site loads,do they load at all,speed of loading,etc.
What bothers me some of my site which i host on my servers start to lose traffic a lot lately.It could be beacuse of summer slowdown,but i simply cant belive in that.
Maybe server have a downtime or server have bad hardware router which doesnt accept all traffic.In shortly i belive something is wrong.So please tell me how do i do deep scan/check of all my servers.

This has happend before when server hit 4 mb/s i saw straight line on mrtg for 20 min.
I email the support but they said they do not cap anyone.
Anyway to check my server really isnt capped?
server is on 100 mbps port. Bandwidth not shared.
I want to know how the speed compares between a single X3320 against a server with duel E5310 in it?
I have been told they should be about the same, or is the newer single x3320 faster?
I have a dedicated server, but i dont know how i can measure the bandwidth at specific time, the problem that i feal that my bandwidth is below what i requested...
what i mean with Bandwidth is not trfic, it is the connection speed at a moment
(i.e. 50Mbps)
the speed of FTP access to the server is acceptable, if I surf the website on the server by ip address, the speed is also acceptable however, if I surf the website on the server by domain, the speed is really slow.
