Fast Managed VPS For Forum And Wiki
Jul 31, 2007
I run my current site from asmallorange. I am currently using their shared hosting, but I am about to out grow it.
Im currently using 120GB of bandwidth a month, and it keeps growing. I have about 800 users on the forum, 150-200 active. 30 people on at normal hours, and peeks of 150-200 on tuesdays (when new stuff is released we talk about).
I am in talks to moving to a VPS at asmallorange, but I have never seen them recommended here as a VPS.
Id like room to grow, so at least 250GB bandwidth, 10(ten)GB of storage and something that is fast and reliable.
Also, im used to running a shared site from cpanel, so anything with cpanel, and as manages as possible would be better. I dont have too much time during school to upkeep the site. (why I love shared) PHP5 as the main php would be a huge plus, but if it runs side by side with 4 that is also ok.
I figured Id need 512RAM but I really do not know.
My budget is about $900/ year or about $75/mo.
(using phpbb and mediawiki)

What are the pros and cons of each of them?
If I want to build something that allows as many people as possible to post their thoughts without complicate registration process, and I want to place ads on my sites or forum or wiki, which is the best choice?

We are looking for hosting our companies websites ...
Most of them are used mainly for email activities.
Only one of them have an active website and web services.
We are looking for a fast and reliable connection from europe. Also fully managed solution as we have no expertise in server management.
I am using dreamhost vps for my personal websites. And i am wondering if its enough for these requirements.
Also i used wiredtree in the past but it seems dreamhost more easier to manage from the user side...

We have a smallish website-design business. Most of the sites are built using the flat-file-based, PmWiki-brand, php software, which we skin to look like "normal" websites, but have the ease of editing that wiki technology provides.
Right now we have a shared hosting account with unlimited domains, and have to manage all the controls for all the clients' sites ourselves, because there's just one control panel for the whole account, BUT we also have to have a full installation of the PmWiki software for each site we set up, because the security setup won't allow multiple domains to use a shared set of scripts.
We would like to host a wiki farm using PmWiki on a reseller-style account. For this to work our way, we want to make a directory structure that looks something like this:
/var/www/
|-- pmwiki.conf (some files not accessible from the web)
|
|-- pmwiki_base/
| |-- pmwiki.php (pmwiki.php used by the farm)
| |-- wiki.d/ (base wiki's page storage)
| |-- local/ (base wiki's local configuration)
| | |-- farmconfig.php (config for all the Farm Fields)
| |-- cookbook/ (wiki's recipes)
| |-- uploads/ (Farm page attachments)
| |-- pub/ (Farm&Fields publicly-accessible files)
|-- field01 /
| |-- field.php (wrapper script for the Field)
| |-- wiki.d/ (Field page storage)
| |-- local/ (Field local configuration)
| | |-- config.php (config for the Field)
| |-- uploads/ (wiki's page attachments)
| |-- [pub/cookbook] (only if needed for this Field)
|-- field02 /...
|-- field03 /...
|-- field04 /...
*
|-- field99 /...
In this model, the subdirs field01-field99 are actually our customer domain sites. We would like each of these sites to have its own CPanel or HSphere controls so they can manage their email/etc., but we manage much of the actual sites centrally, in the pmwiki_base directory as above. This way, we can upgrade our client's site functionality without duplicating the code across each domain.
Can we do it with a reseller plan, and gain the benefit of all those exciting billing/management features?
Would this have to be both reseller and VPS, in order for us to safely have those few php scripts shared by all the different sites?

I am running a very successful wiki based website that has outgrown our current web host. The site runs very slow because our host says we are hitting the memory limit on the server (currently under a shard hosting plan).
Thousands of visitors per day
Ten thousand page views per day (all PHP)
20GB bandwidth per month

When a colo vendor can consider themselves as a managed colocation provider? What make them different than *normal* colo service?
If you need a managed colo, why not go with managed server? With managed server, your vendor will take care about the server health, including software and hardware too
(I am mentioning to fully managed server vendors like Rackspace, don't tell me cheap managed servers)

I've always had hosting where everything is pretty much already setup. I am now considering getting my own dedicated server. I see most good packages are Self Managed Servers.
I'm not a system admin and never had any experience managing and setting up my own server. Is this a lot of work? Is this something that is also pretty easily learned or does this really take a lot of knowledge?

Is there a webhost fast enough for providing large files (2.5GB +, going up to 10GB + larger) on my website to users worldwide?
At the moment my website is hosted in the UK and it seems to deliver download speeds of around 650kbps if only one person is downloading at a time. I have tried other web hosts, and their download speeds are never advertised, but have turned out to be even less in practise (e.g. 150kbps)
As I'm hosting large files (e.g. 1GB - 2.5GB - 8.5GB or more) on my website, I need something with unlimited speed. i.e. so that the download speed is limited only by the end user's connection.
Is there anything like this out there? I realise the files are very large in size, but I'd rather keep the process electronic than mail out hundreds of DVDs all the time.

I have recently closed my Linux Developer account with fasthosts due to intermittant latency problems, and rubbish support query turn around, always over 48hours if replied to at all (most of my support queries were never answered unless I actually phoned in about them!)
So is mine an isolated incident or are others out there having the same problem?

I'm planning to host about 10 websites, most of them will be developed on Dotnetnuke (latest version). The most important issue is the speed of the web sites. The pages need to be opened fast. The target audience is located in Istanbul/Turkey, therefore I think the EU-based companies will be better for my requirements.

I run lighttpd as my webserver, and 5.2.1 worked perfectly. I upgraded to 5.2.4 but when I checked my version, it said "cli". I ran the exact same configure command that I did with 5.2.1, but for some reason it says "cli". I then just ran this config:
'./configure' '--enable-fastcgi' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect'
And got this error:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I need to provide an 8gb file download (split into 1gb parts) that will be downloaded by 80+ people worldwide, simultaneously. I'm talking for example, they will be each downloading at 1.2megabytes per second each (this is the average speed of their home connections), simultaneously.
What are the specs or things I should be looking out for in a website hosting provider?
One service I'm looking at is advertised as 0.5Mbps in bandwidth and 100Mbps in transit, for £40 a month. The service I'm looking at is sensical.net's colo business service (http://www.sensical.net/). What does this mean and is it fast enough? What is the difference between these two figures - 0.5Mbps bandwidth and 100Mbps transit?

I'm in the process of switching my host provider and Im leaning towards Surpass Hosting.
I've already contacted them for a few question and their support seems expectational as they respond my tickets thoroughly in less then 20 minutes.
Just a few questions to those that do use surpass or have used them. How fast are their servers for PHP like Wordpress and Invision Power Board and are are your sites stable (always fast, or are they slow at times and then fast) with them.

The server I have running has LAMP and some other related services running. It's on a 100Mbit shared port. Whenever the server has been running for 30-90mins, the pings start to become very high (+2000ms). Problem exists with ftp, ssh, http etc, and restarting named, httpd, mysqld doesn't affect anything. The only thing that gets the pings back down and the speeds up again is to reboot the system, which takes about a minute. The MRTG graphs show that there isn't any significant traffic which cause the pings go down, in fact, the traffic goes close to 0 when the pings start sky rocketing. CPU load is < 0.1 and memory usage low as well.

I have a site that is currently hosted in Australia and loads relatively quickly there , but it is very slow in Uk and France.
Eli kindly set up a trial at blurstorm but I am unhapy with the way it loads in australia which is its primary audience.
how to get my speeds up with the site? ATM there is a 2.8 mb swf file that loads in about 5 sec in aus but about 20 in europe.
Blurstorm is faster in europe(france)but unacceptably slow in Aus.
Is blurstorm considered fast servers on their reseller plans? Or do I need to upgrade my expenditure to get what I want?
