to put together a file server. This server will only accept SFTP connections and send/receive data. Also, planning to use RAID 10 with a hardware controller. Just looking to get a feel for the CPU and RAM. While the server load will not be much, scalability is a factor when considering hardware.
View 7 RepliesWe want to build a file server in our office - either Windows or Linux (doesn't make a difference to us).
We have a lot of satellite offices, and want to have certain computers have access to specific files/folders on the fileserver.
The catch is this... we would like some of our satellite computers to "sync" with the files/folders on the fileserver.
For example, a developer who is constantly working with a particular client, will always want his/her files to sync up with what is on the server.
The developer will want to work with a local copy of the files, and once finished, will upload them to the file server.
A few days go by, and there is a possibility the fileserver has additional information for that client. The developer would then want to download the changed files from the fileserver.
The benefit of working with local files, is that it is quicker to make changes. We can always leave the desktop on overnight to sync between the fileserver and the desktop.
Any suggestions what to look into here?
All of our desktops are on Windows, so we would need a windows application that has this functionality.
Rsync seems to be the closest thing I've found so far.
is this a good deal for a sever for $69 a month

I rented out a server from leaseweb for 6 months (prepaying) before doing any real researching.. the price was great but the support apparently sucks. Now that I found this out, and my server hasn't been setup yet, I want a full refund. I've contacted them via email, but yet to recieve a response; who should I contact or what should I do.
View 12 Replies View RelatedThis weird issue has poped up only this weekend , when csf blocks all ips and even ssh, email and all services are not accesible, even though server is working, but firewall puts a block on everyone, and appears offline to others, any ideas why csf and iptables are not responding and acting in this behavior, i asked jonesolutions.com last time it happened i got no reason/response which could be the culprit.
Could it be the kernel update/upgrade that was done, to optimize load which broke csf and its working?
as this is 2nd incident over last 2 days , and i had thought my management had fixed it. Upset here over the unwanted for no reason downtimes!
Here is the output for this command after i restart csf again, and thats like average too i get over the entire day.

Connections to server dont seem to be high enough to pooch the firewall.
With increased traffic lately I'm trying to plan my next move so I was hoping for some kind recommendation from you guys.
My current setup is 1 VPS from knownhost (managed) where i have my wordpress sites and 1 VDS at FDC (unmannged) for static content like images and zip files but i would like to have everything in one place because it would work out cheaper.
So the question is would i be risking too much if I moved my whole site to a unmanaged dedicated sever without having any expreice other than very basic stuff like intalling afp/ddos deflate?
Right now it seems like their isn't anything to it except upgrading the OS or mysql and things like that in the future...
I am looking for a dedicated server for my flash games site. I am currently using 1and1.com for a Titan 16gb ram, 6gb monthly transfer(bandwidth) but not enough. I end up paid almost $2k last month. So I am need is at least 15-20gb bandwidth monthly transfer and about 8gb ram....

But, for a two hour period EVERY day, it can server 5-10,000 at a tme - very strange, I know.
What kind of server set-up would I need?
I.e your answer may be... "Woah... You'll need 10 servers all doin abc"
I'm not too bothered about the detail - just "1 basic server would be enough - $100" - just an idea - I really have no clue.
I know this is a difficult question, and I'll get the usual - depends on xyz etc. - but even if your answer is "You'll need between 10-50 servers" - it at least gives me an idea.
if i need to host 10-20k concurrent users, what kind of server specs should i be getting ?
operating system will be windows server and IIS
running several websites and some web services.
I was wondering.. which specs does a VPS need to have where proxies will be hosted on?
I will be using LXadmin as my control panel and Glype as my script.
I had an eye on the 5$ per Month VPS special of thenynoc... should that do the trick?
Super VPS
--------------
10GB Space
512MB RAM
1,000GB Transfer
2 IP Addresses
Choice of operating systems (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse)
How many proxies can you host on that VPS with those specs?
I have a small VPS with Serverways and to be honest I have had no problems with it for a week or so - suprising when you see the spec!
My question is - are there any other providers around the globe (looking for VPS servers all over the place) that would sell me a VPS with the following specs:
CPU 100MHZ
100 MB RAM
10GB SATA (Could probably do with less if needed)
No control panel
100GB Bandwidth on- 100mbps port.
4.90 USD
UnManaged
We're setting up a vBulletin forum, and I'd like to know what we'll need from a vps. We expect 5000-10000 hits a day, maybe 30-60 users on at a time, and we'd like to keep quick load speeds.
So how much ram would we need to achieve fast speeds?
How many mysql database might we need (just roughly for such a sized forum)?
How much bandwidth will we need?
Plus any other info you can give!
I could also do with some VPS hosting recommendations. We'll be adding other sites (with less traffic) in the VERY near future, so we'd like them to be accomodated. A host with good support/ response time is a must, and one with excellent uptime to!
I've been commissioned to setup and run a server for a client. It's a site where people can upload and show their photos in a rather large community. Daily users peaking at around 5.000 these days. He also has a large and very active forum for his 30.000 members. Forum is run on homebuild scripts (compares to Vbulletin).
He insists on getting a server that has absolutely no lag or other response time and is willing to pay what ever it costs.
I was thinking about setting up a system with:Xeon Dual core
16 GB RAM
4*500GB RAID
10 MBPS Port
Would a server like that do the job?
Was thinking about co-locating it to a Level3 center.
I have been hired to build a web server for a fellow student at school. I am used to building desktops for personal use but this is my first time putting together a web server so I just wanted to verify with you web hosting pros what should go in it.
Purpose of server: He wants a server that is capable of hosting a website mostly dedicated to a vBulletin community. He wants it to support a community of 30,000 members with a max of 1000 active users. He is also active in local politics and wants to host some local candidates web pages but I assume since they are local candidates and not very well known and most likely going to be very static pages this wont cause much of an extra load.
Limitations:I know the connection is going to be a likely place for a bottle neck but he wants to have a server that is capable of hosting the above mentioned type of load and will upgrade the his connection as needed. Also he does not know how to use Linux or Unix so a windows based system would be strongly preferred even though its generally considered worse.
what is the most necessary specs on such a system? I would greatly appreciate any input.
What do you think are good specs for web servers? We've been usually buying dual processor, dual core, 2gb ram, 2x36gb 15k scsi in raid-1 servers, but I wonder if we could get away with significantly less.
Is it better to have multiple, cheaper servers for Apache? What are some example specs?
What about something like this:
Intel Xeon 5130 2.00GHz 1333MHz 4MB DC x 1
2GB FB-DIMM - DDR II - 667 MHz (2x1GB) x 1
74GB S-ATA 10000 RPM ... OR ... 250GB S-ATA 7200 RPM ... OR ... 36 GB SCSI 15000 RPM

I'm starting a file download site. I've done a lot of research and I'm currently planning a head for growth and scaling. Looking to serve around 250-500 thousand 5MB files a day.
I would like some input from people that KNOW what they are talking about, hopefully people that have hosted/ran similar sites.
The main question I need answered is what will be the first bottle neck for a single download server will run into when delivering the following.
File size = 10MB.
Number of downloads = As many 1.2mbit download streams as possible.
Example Server, lets say...
Intel 5405
8GB Ram
2x640GB RE3 Hardware Raid 1
1000mbit
Am I correct in assuming the bottle neck will be the HD's here? So would I be right in assuming this could handle around 200 concurrent downloads @ 1.2mbit(250mbit)?
What would the average person looking for a VPS look for? I know each customer is different but I am talking just the most common. I am looking for specs to look for if I do a review site. That way I will review the type of VPS's most people are looking for.
I am looking for sellers to perhaps post their best selling VPS plan.
