I am hosting 80 domains on a dedicated server which is dishing up only about 80GB per month in bandwidth. Disk space is minimal at under 20GB. Sites are mostly PHP5 and MySQL. Some Perl. Using apache2.
Right now the server is a dual Opteron and it seems to be overkill for the job at hand. In an effort to lower my monthly cost I am wondering how small of a server I can go with and still allow some margin for only minimal growth.
Dare I go as small as one of these (from cheapest to most $):
1.7 Pentium 4 and 512 RAM, IDE
Athlon 3000+ and 1GB RAM, SATA
2.8 Pentium D and 1GB RAM, SATA
One of our resellers has an account.. When looking into cpanel, it says that that account is using 3300megs. When we go into the ftp of that account, in reality it is only using 1.3megs. This is a huge difference! Most of folders are empty. We are using the latest version of WHM and Cpanel.
I have never been to a datacenter. My friend has a rack at a datacenter near my house so he will be able to provide me some space for a monthly payment. At first I thought of getting a 1U server but it ended up costing too much and a hassle to find the proper sized parts. Now I have decided to go with a mini tower instead so I was wondering whether it would make a difference if I were to use a mini tower or a larger sized tower. If I used a mini would I be able to fit more computers or would it not make a difference?
We have found that we need to limit the amount of cpu uage by users on our video share server. On this server we currently have 20 users on a sharred plan. Thought that the obvious BW usage would be the biggest challenge, as it turns out we havent gone over the 2 TB that we have.
We have come up with an encoding process that uses the 264 codec and gives us excellent results in terms of quality but is very cpu intensive to the point of really slowing down the server when 10 or more users simutaneously are encoding their videos.
Can someone suggest a script that would allows us to limit the file size in terms of MB/GB that each user could upload per month.
So for example a client pays 10.00 per month and we wanted to limit their uploads to a total of 900 MB per month vs the client that is paying 50.00 per month who would have the ability to upload say 8 GB per month.
First of all I checked via command line if any software is not installed properly while plesk installation was done on destination server (windows server 2012 R2). All looks fine, please check attached file pleskinstallation.txt
Source plesk version 10.4.4 (windows server 2008) Destination plesk version 12.0.18 MU#23 built.
We are in testing mode of migrating websites hosted with source plesk version 10.4.4 onto destination server plesk server 12.0.18 having (windows server 2012 R2).
What we did, we restored the backup of Source plesk version 10.4.4 (windows server 2008) to Destination plesk version 12.0.18 MU#23 built.
Now the problem is that backup which we restored on Destination plesk version 12.0.18 MU#23 was of 68 GB and now when we setup the backup on Destination plesk version 12.0.18 MU#23 and when backup completes successfully it show us wrong backup size up to 16 GB.
We have requested several times to plesk support has to check the entire new plesk version in terms of all feature (like taking backup, restoring, plesk installation etc) while releasing new version, If they have noticed bug than plesk support should not release new version or micro update until they are sure.
I would request them again to check backup size bug along with other bugs.
1. "Stats crashing and not updating stats"
2. installing "Spam assassin" on Plesk 12.0.18 on windows server 2012 r2 and we are getting error:
Error: Unable to set Plesk SpamAssassin 3.3.2 as the default Spam Filter: defpackagemng failed: Execute spammng.exe --check failed with error code 1: Unable generate the unique file name by template D:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPerlsiteetcmailspamassassinlocal.cf[*].bak: directory D:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPerlsiteetcmailspamassassin does not exist.
I seem to be hitting the tcpsndbuf max size occasionally, my host says they can not change it (there is plenty of free ram) and if I want it raised, I need to upgrade to a larger plan.
Was just curious as to what kind of tcpsndbuf size you guys have on your VPS plans?
Now, when I upload files to my server, some files upload fine but most upload but with 0 file size. That's weird. What can cause this? I used 3 FTP clients same results also no passive mode..
what kind of bandwidth i need and what kind of space i need for a site that experiences about 25000 hits a month and file size of about 700mb. the site is purely content and images and correspondence is done by forms.
i dont want to go to big but also dont want to under size my customer as uptime and speed is important (im looking at dedicated servers)
I own a parenting site, mid-sized I think (1100 members). We were recently "fired" by our host for server load. Sooo, I'm in the market for a new host. I'm so gun shy right now, because everyone is reassuring me they can handle us, but then so did the company that we're currently with.
Specs: Phpbb3 software Bandwith - 17.7gb so far this month Disk Space - 111.3 mb this month
There are an average of 100 members on line at a time. I've been told we need a dedicated server by some, though I don't think we're big enough at this venture for one, and it's out of our budget. I realize the things I listed above don't have much to do with server load, but I figured I'd share anyway.
I uploaded my file to web server(html, image file and css file), but strangely after uploaded it to server all file that I uploaded size 0 KB. I uploaded it using WS FTP.
i think it's an apache problem, but whenever i download something from my server via http, i get unknown file size when downloading. it's not a big problem, but it's kind of annoying.
I have a database which is growing to have about 100 tables. These tables will grow in size and sometime I will need to use RAID 5, I am told by my server provider.
My questions are:-
1. if these other servers are mirrors, should I have the database stored on each server?
2. when one server gets too busy, does the RAID query a lesser-used server so as not to bog down the first one?
3. Or, do I need to have different content in each db on each server so a query gets what it needs form each?
Right now APC shm_size is set to30 and since I am only using about 20% of the RAM in VPS, I thought it would be best to increase it a bit. Now how do I go about doing that?
Using Apache 2.0.52 + PHP 4.3.10 on Linux (Fedora Core 2), I get this error message when accesing my PHP page: ---------------
Service Unavailable - Zero size object The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later. Reference #15.21eaaad4.1173400585.294a7ed8 ---------------
I fixed it by restarting Apache, but I'd like to know the reason of this error. Does anybody have any experience with this issue?
I currently am running on a VPS and I'm trying to edit the max size a user can upload through phpMyAdmin. I have tried editing the php.ini file located at /etc/php.ini to find it wasn't the right file.
Where do I need to go via SSH to edit the proper file?
I have a RHEL 4 plain server, and im using vsftpd server, i can not find an option to specify the max size for uploading files... does anybody know something about this?
I have a 2,3 and 5GB files that I need to download but everytime they appear as 1.4GB for some reason. I've tried IE, Mozilla and opera and the same result each time.
Is there some sort of limit to the size of a file that apache will serve?
