Guaranteed RAM And Burstable RAM ...
Jan 17, 2008I have confused in these notions a little bit - Guaranteed RAM and Burstable RAM. What is the difference between them? I have found that in the VPS hosting from ServerPoint.com.

RAM Guaranteed/burstable, Discspace
Sep 11, 2007I currently have the SilverVS package from RoseHosting: [url]
With this specification, I also have DirectAdmin running and my website is www.christianforumsite.com (A forum)
So far, It's really good but there are some hourly lag times and two very very short downtimes in a few months time span. RH told me that my site had a high memory usage and that I might have to upgrade it.
So my questions are:
1. Could forums take a lot of memory and force the OS to kill some processes. In my case the forum is active but it not like huge community. Traffic report on alexa: [url]
It appears on top if you search for christian forum or christian forums, so the bots might be doing some damage too. Also I am using DirectAdmin with the lowest plan.
2. Could upgrading to the next VPS plan make the site noticeably faster and eliminate the lag times I've been experiencing?
3. What specifically (RAM guaranteed/burstable, discspace) should be high in case of a growing forum. Any other recommendation?

Nov 5, 2009I was wondering if this is an unmetered plan or if it is just the connection for the bandwidth someone is offering.
For example, if a company is offering 4000gb of bandwidth, but I upgrade to 20MBPS HIGH-USAGE (DEDICATED/GUARANTEED), is this just the connection for the 4000gb or is this a dedicated "unmetered" plan.
How To Check If You've Really Given The Correct Guaranteed RAM
Mar 4, 2009let's say the package was 512mb ram guaranteed and burstable, how would I check if I was given the correct guaranteed RAM?
i have this 2 vps with the ff 1GB/2GB burst and 512mb/2gb burst
I'm asking because in HyperVM, I can see the max ram for the 2 packages as 2GB. how to check the guaranteed ram?
Also both of these are quad core but the other is showing 2.7Ghz per cpu while the other it's 0.5GHz.
Guaranteed RAM And VPS (Virtuozzo) Hosting Plans
May 11, 2007I have noticed that most "reputable" VPS providers state both guaranteed and burst amount of RAM. However there also seems like plenty that only advertise burstable (looks better in the ad, I know) no matter how closely I look over the details.
For a Virtuozzo based VPS, is the guaranteed amount of ram something that must be specified? Or can it be configured for some sort of free for all burstable only accounts?
What I am wondering is if there is any good reason why a host would NOT tell me how much guaranteed RAM I would get?
Guaranteed Bandwith With Cisco Routers
Sep 11, 2007We have the requirement to guarantee bandwith to one of our clients.
We have a large collection of vlans and we either need to guarantee bandwith to a set and from a set of IP's or a vlan.
We currently throttle using rate-limit but wan't to dedicate 2mb of our 10mb leased line to 1 client.
We are using a cisco 3600 running IOS 12.0.
Has anyone got any ideas as to how we can go about this?

100mbps Unmetered. GUARANTEED Speed Till END USER
Oct 15, 2009In 3 weeks I'm launching a service that will stream about 5TB of music per day.
I currently use Rackspace Mosso cloud, which can get quite expensive for such massive traffic.
After a talk with my dev team, they told me that the 100mbps dedicated unmetered that some providers like ThePlanet or Rackspace advertise might not guarantee the speed until the end-user. That the speed is guaranteed until just outside their hosting facility or backbone and after that it's just pooled bandwith.
Is This 512 RAM, Burstable To 1GB For Vps
Mar 20, 2007Taken from /proc/user_beancounters on this vps. This vps is given 512RAM and burstable to 1GB ram deal. On my whm server information, it is showing me 200+RAM, burstable to 500-600RAM. Am i really given what i am offer?

Burstable Billing
Sep 15, 2009I'm really confused about burstable billing. I'm hoping you guys can help me out.
I'm currently with Softlayer and I have two dedicated servers with 2TB of bandwidth a month. So far this has been fine for me.
I'm getting ready to move to a third server and therefore I'm looking at colo space. The problem is that they all seem to charge by the Mbps instead of by the overall bandwidth you use.
The bandwidth here in Austin is expensive (About $200+ per Mbps) and I have no idea how much I'd need.
Here's a sample of the last 7 days of traffic on one of my servers
Any idea how much bandwidth I'd need? Also, are these colos just screwing with me? Should I be able to find a plan that charges me by overall bandwidth instead of using bustable billing?
Difference Between RAM And Burstable RAM?
Dec 5, 2008What is the difference between RAM and burstable RAM?
What even is RAM!
I ask because I upgraded my server (again) today. I went from 256 RAM, to 512, now to 1024 of RAM. Is 1 gig of RAM good?
Also, I want to know in general if I am getting a good deal here
I have a VPS now with these specs:
Dedicated RAM: 1024 MB
Burstable RAM: 4096 MB
RAID 10 Disk Space: 100 GB
FREE Backup Space: 100 GB
Premium Bandwidth: 4000 GB
Dedicated IP Address: 2
Monthly Price: $119.99
does that seem like a good deal to you?
I ask because I am new to all of this, and don't know if I am getting jipped.
Should a site on this server run fast, if it is a high traffic "tube" site?
Burstable Lines
Mar 20, 2008if a provider provides me a 1Mbps AIMS dedicated line for my dedicated server, is it possible for him to make it burstable to 1.5Mbps? i thought when i get a dedicated line i would be able to get max 1Mbps only? How is it possible that it can be burstable? Does that mean its not dedicated, instead shared?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOpenVZ Burstable Memory
Dec 1, 2007Let say your VPS has 128MB of memory. My understanding would be that if you had, say, another 128MB of 'burstable' memory, that if another guest on the system wasn't using all it's memory, or if there was some spare on the system, then your VPS could use that.
But, how much memory does your VPS really think it has available? and what happens if the other VPS (or the system) decides it wants it memory back?
Does OpenVZ just start killing off your processes until it free's up enough memory?
How Much A Dedicated (and Burstable) RAM Would One Need For A Community Site

View 5 Replies View RelatedBurstable To A 100mbits Full Duplex
Jun 17, 2007I wonder what does this mean. I no what a 100mbit connectivity is but what does it mean by burstable.
Does it mean that the downloading will start off really fast and then go down to my normal internet connection. What i mean is that if i download say from the microsoft.com, It will start at about 400kb/sec and then slowely progress to 260kb/sec.
With my server with in a datacenter, it starts from about 100kb/sec and then makes it way up to 260kb/sec. I am moving datacenter. So what does it mean by burstable.
CPanel/WHM Managed VPS With At Least 512MB Burstable
Jun 29, 2007I'm currently in the market for a new VPS that will be used for a single website. The client had it on a shared server, and ended up having it get suspended from too many httpd connections one day. Though the 2+ months it's been up, there haven't been any prior issues, so I think there was just something on that day that people found the website.
Anyway, according to WHM's bandwidth log, it hasn't used more then 46GB in a month, so I don't foresee this account needing to surpass 100GB of bandwidth.
The amount if disk space being used it currently at 1GB but up to 3-5GB would suffice.
I've tried out Direct Admin, but I'm much more knowledgable with WHM and cPanel that if at all possible, I'd want that on it. I'd prefer not to have to pay extra monthly for a license; I'd like for it to be included in the price.
I'm not looking for full management, but just basic management (and having support that actually reads your tickets as opposed to repeating the same bs every other ticket.. speaking from personal experience with another *cough* VPS host.)
I'm looking for the price range to be under $30 a month for the specs needed.
I realize cPanel needs a bit more memory, so.. hopefully this is justifiable:
Requirements:
OS - CentOS
CP - cPanel+WHM
RAM - 128-256MB dedicated, burstable to 512MB+ (though not a necessity)
DISK - 3-5GB of disk space (obviously more would be fine if it's available within PR)
Bandwidth - 100GB
Price Range - $30 or less
I've already tried out Primary VPS, so I don't want to go there. Spry's VPS is unmanaged, and I don't want to configure the VPS myself at all (I'm lazy and I really suck at SSH commands.)
If any of you guys can offer some ideas of VPS hosts to look into, that would fit the prereqs I listed, I would be forever in your debt (or not) but I'd really appreciate it.
I just don't want to deal with Primary VPS anymore, and have been stumped as to what other VPS hosts to look into. Obviously I'm still going to search around here, but sometimes I like hearing personal recommendations...
Leaseweb 3 Month Review [capped Burstable Server]
Jan 30, 2009Leaseweb Three Month Review
1 ) Why this review
2 ) Ordering a Server
3 ) Things are running
4 ) DDOS
5 ) 100 mbit burstable @ 8mbit ...?
6 ) beeing d*cks
*Why This Review*
Originally the intention was to forget as soon as possible about what happened in the past three months and to move on with our new isp. To our regret, Leaseweb has besides the overall lack of service in the past months found it neccessary to kill our network connection without notice a day prior to the ending of our contract. Eventhough the impact is minimal, this gesture speaks for itself.
*Ordering a Server*
Having been a leaseweb customer directly and indirectly for several years in theyre budget segment we to be fairly honnest have rarely had any trouble ordering, nor have we had any trouble with the delivery of the purchased servers.
We experienced differently when ordering the following :
Dell Poweredge 1950
2x Quad Core Xeon L5320
16 GB DDR2
4 x 300GB SAS
raid 1+0
IP KVM card
1 x 100Mbps Full-Duplex
10 Mbps (95%) bandwith
SLA : Best Effort
OS : Debian

"Burstable" RAM In VPSs
Jan 28, 2008Most VPS offerings have "burstable" memory allocations. I get how you can do this with most things -- letting a VPS access more CPU cycles can be done pretty easily, and a 10 Mbps line burstable to 100 Mbps makes sense.
But how does the guest OS handle all of a sudden having more memory? Since a lot of VPS guests run without modification, how does this work? Does the typical Linux system support dynamic changes in RAM? I can only imagine that dealing with "un-bursting" is even more complex: suppose I have 128MB, burst to 512, but then the host node tries to reclaim some of it. Is the system smart enough to seamlessly swap out to disk when RAM "disappears?" I'd fully expect a kernel panic when the system's RAM shrinks in size, particularly when the RAM was in use.
I'm curious about exactly how all of this is managed. Given that 95% of VPS hosts give a burstable range of RAM, what exactly manages this? Is the virtualization platform handling this and somehow "tricking" the kernel, or is the guest system able to deal with changing RAM allocations? And, if the latter, is this a standard feature of the Linux kernel, or are guest OS mods still necessary to deal with burstable RAM?
