Hosting/Scaling- We Plan To Get Digged/stumbled
Aug 5, 2008
Our website/app is on a shared host (downtownhost.com - who are great btw - I strongly recommend them).
Now have a question for the experts here:
We have come up with a plan to give away some freebies to our visitors and we feel there is a very good chance that we will be digg 'ed/Stumble 'd.
I need suggestions from experts as to how to go about this from a hosting perspective.
1. Go for Amazon or Gogrid.com?
2. Go for mediatemple.com or mosso.com? Not sure with all the reviews posted here.
I don't want to go for a full blown clustered hosting - with high fixed costs - we won't mind paying based on how successful or not our 'freebie' exercise works.
A little bit about our site - it's an ecommerce site running on LAMP and uses imagemagick. Users upload images to our site and
tell us what they want with an annotation tool in a UI. We give em a price and they can pay us. They pick up the edited image back on our site when it's ready
- Sorry bout not being able to give you any 'technical' details about CPU usage etc., - I am more of a layman! But as I said a shared account at downtownhost.com seems to be holding up. Our current traffic averages about 100-200 visitors a day - with an average of about 50 images uploaded everyday.
- Think that the above description should give a fair idea of computing/resource requirements.

Lets assume that we (me and the people I'm working with) were to launch a really powerful website. Then all of a sudden there is more demand for the website than the backend infrastructure can handle.
What do we do?
- 1000 users (ok so one powerful server should be enough).
- 2000 users (lets setup an additional server to work as the HTTP while the powerful server acts as the database only).
- 3000 users (lets eliminate all the commercial linux programs and install a fresh version of linux on both boxes and compile only the programs we need).
- 5000 (lets setup another server that handles the sessions).
- 6000 (lets setup a static-only server to deliver the non-dynamic content).
- 7000 (lets do some caching ... ugh maybe it won't be enough).
Any greater and what? We've run out of ideas on how to separate the code logic and how to optimize every byte of data on the website! What do we do? We can buy more servers, but how do we balance the load?
This is where I'm stuck at. In the past I've separated the load in a modular sense (one server does this and one server does that), but eventually I'll come across a wall.
how clustering works? What I wanna know is how is the information, whether it be the server-side code or the static information, is shared across machines. Is it worth it anymore to learn these things, or is it worth it just to host with a scalable hosting solution like AWS?

I like to create some service plans using the cli-tools, /usr/local/psa/bin/service_plan.I am able to create a service plan, but I'm unable to create a service plan inside a reseller plan. For example I cannot "tell" the service_plan script to add the created serviceplan to a reseller plan. Is it possible to create a serviceplan inside a reseller plan, using the cli?

While I'm fairly familiar with running and serving Java applications (how they handle their load..etc) I'm fairly new "mass" hosting PHP applications.
PHP has a lot of advantages though, for example it's a lot more stateless and you can run a lot of PHP applications on a server.
As part of some new work I'm undertaking I need to come up with some decent infrastructure for PHP hosting. We want to get this right so I'm taking advice here as well.
My configuration would most likely be something like ....

I found this site with 6.95 hosting a while back and had it saved in my fav... but my comp crashed god forbid and I had to format now I lost it...
The site had something rediculous like 3GB space and 5-10GB bandwidth... there was a $30 setup fee but it was 6.95 after that... Anyone know of this site? or anything that tops it?
Also the part I liked most was that they accepted paypal... Which was simply amazing for me.

I currently have a small hosting plan (4 gb traffic , 400 Mb space) that I use for a few email accounts from my company.However , the disk space is not enough for what we need so I have to move the emails to another hosting plan. I'm looking for something with 5-10 gb space , 10-20 gb traffic/month , unlimited email accounts. I'm not looking for it to be cheap , just dont like the overselling idea for my hosting needs so I can pay if it's good. Also I was wondering what kind of program do I need in order to create a webmail interface so that the employees could check their email without having to use the webmail clients from cPanel.

The more I read on the forum, the more I'm beginning to consider a reseller plan.
Basically, I'm an ASP.NET/MS-SQL developer and I foresee myself developing (and possibly managing) a relatively small number of websites for people who likely have neither the technical skills nor desire to get too involved with maintaining their websites. So, I need to be able to host multiple domains, have multiple databases, and probably multiple FTP accounts.
The obvious advantage of reseller accounts, as I understand them, is that they give you the ability to provide the website owner (my customer) the tools to manage their site in more or less the same way they could if they directly set up their hosting account with GoDaddy or whomever. But, if my customers end up being people that don't want to mess with any of that, then this capability is not important. However, after looking at ResellerZoom.com, which I saw recommended in another thread, it seems the sheer capacity of resources available, e.g. unlimited databases, 200 domains, make it worth the slightly higher cost.

I see Site5 have a 5 dollar deal on their homepage, but I don't know if it's any good. I hear from a lot of people to get a reseller account if you plan to make a lot of websites. It's more expensive than the 5 dollar plan with less bandwidth and storage, so there got to be something to it. What are the benefits of a reseller account compared to that 5 dollar deal plan?

I have spent several hours on this forum over the past few days doing some research and have officially confused myself. I am a volunteer with a nonprofit organization and our online forums (running on vbulletin) are maxing out the database SQL connections several times per day. The host has a max_user_connections limit of 15 but doesn't have an intermediary step from shared hosting to dedicated hosting. Dedicated hosting is cost-prohibitive and the rest of our site has more than enough room to grow on our current hosting plan (including traffic bandwidth, disk space, etc).
We are planning to register a new domain name for the forums and move them off to another hosting provider. I donate the hosting fees to the organization and I don't have much of a budget to work with ($20/mo or so ideally). I am looking for recommendations for a hosting provider that will support a somewhat busy forum (usually only between 30-50 users online at once but anywhere between 1,000 and 2,500 pageviews per day) and also allow a stepped growth plan (instead of from shared straight to dedicated.)
I've seen Hawk Host, Siteground and URLJet mentioned frequently on posts here and over at vBulletin but I don't want to just jump into a new host and face a similar problem in the future.

I'm about to the point where I am ready to host my website. I already have a domain but no hosting plan. In the future I may want to have several different websites each with their own unique domain. I was wondering if I choose a hosting plan for one site, can I use the unused web space for additional domains/websites?

I've officially decided to go with Hostgator but I'm having a hard time choosing which type of plan would make the most sense for; maybe there is something I'm not seeing and I'm hoping to get some additional insight...
Here is my plan; I plan on hosting multiple domains (business and personal) and atleast one e commerce website to start and it will eventually grow into about 5 down the road (this is going to be a drawn out process and I want to do it right).
The problem I have is I realize in order to get a true ecommerce website up in running I will need a dedicated IP address and SSL certificate for each site. If I purchase the Business plan it only comes with one dedicated IP and one SSL cert; Hostgator also told me that I'm unable to add an additional dedicated IP address or SSL cert to the business plan so I would have to purchase an additional Business Plan (12.95) per each site. It sounds like I could still host private and not SSL required sites on the business plan and as much domains as I want.
If I go the reseller path then the cost per month will be twice as much as the Business Plan and there is no dedicated IP address included. I will also have to purchase dedicated IP addresses at 2.00 a month and SSL certs as well so that method could get expensive.
I'm also not sure if the baby plan would suffice as well, but apparently not because there is a limit of 1 dedicated IP per plan
What would you guys recommend I do; I want a plan that will allow me to grow with them.
Just curious on what your guys thoughts were..
Also I read a previous post in this forum that someone said their SSL cert prompted the end-user to install the certificate; Being in Ecommerce this is obviously unacceptable to me.

OSMicrosoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Panel version11.5.30 Update #47
We have a few hosting plans setup with different "allowances" for each.The website permissions allow basic html and PHP.In Windows Advanced: The website settings allow for html, php, asp and asp.net
When we change a Basic Hosting plan to Windows Advanced using "Change Plan", it will reassign the subscription/domain to use the new plan, but it will not add-on the extra features in Hosting Settings.

I want to move my image gallery site from dreamhost to some higher host plan.
The volumedrive.com seems to be a good choice. But I don't know who uses their VPS plan.
My budget is 15-25$ / month. The disk is more than 30G (for hosting image files) and BW is more than 800G.

I did some quick live chat sessions with them just to see how far this "unlimited" really goes. Here's what I got:
-Maximum of 8 simultaneous IMAP connections
-Maximum of 40 simultaneous PHP connections
-Maximum of 60 simultaneous MySQL connections
-Maximum of 400 simultaneous HTTP connections
-Maximum of 8 simultaneous FTP connections
I just found that kind of funny and thought I'd share it with y'all.
It basically just sums up what y'all have been saying all along:
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

Let's say I've got a VPS plan that comes with either 4 or 8 IP addresses (still deciding which to get).
Now let's say I want to set up multiple NameServers within that account. Example:
ns1.mymainsite.com
ns2.mymainsite.com
ns1.anothersite.com
ns2.anothersite.com
ns1.yetanother.com
ns2.yetanother.com
ns1.lastone.com
ns2.lastone.com
Can this be done? Or not?

I am trying to make a decision on switching from my current VPS hosting to a dedicated solution. If I rent the server in the next 24 hours from Theplanet, I can get a Celeron 2.0+ with 1GB of ram and an 80GB hd for $74/month (plus $25 setup). $15/month of that is for doubling the ram to 512MB, so I could get the same without that for $59/month.
Comparisons:
VPS: 2 1.6Mhz Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor 2210 HE's, I don't know how many people share that
Dedi: Celeron 2.0, all mine. (and yes, I know that is potentially a bit of a downgrade)
VPS: 512MB ram and 1024MB swap
Dedi: 1024MB ram (guessing I set my own swap size?)
VPS: 25GB allocated space
Dedi: 80GB hd
VPS: 1.5Mbps connection
Dedi: 10Mbps connection
VPS: CP+ control panel
Dedi: None included (could install Webmin myself, which is free, never used it before though)
VPS: Their DNS servers
Dedi: Need to use my own
So basically the parts I don't know the difference between would be the processor, the control panel, and what the performance impact on running primary and secondary DNS servers on the same box as the webserver. Anyone have any feedback on those points?
Separate question... assuming I go for it, what would be the deciding factors on OS, if the choices were CentOS 4.x, CentOS 5.x, FreeBSD 6.3, or FreeBSD 7.0?

I think it's better to pay per GB, I mean hqhost.net offers Price-Per-Gigabyte Plan and
I consider it has some advantages against the ordinary shared plan.
Do you agree with me?
