say you run a script like DIGG and then it just became huge and huge and one day u find out that a server cannot run it alone, that is u need to get multi servers to cope with the traffic and database requests. How would people go about doing that? Is it the script implementation side of change or just server side of change?

I have a dedicated server with a provider. They have a notice period of 30 days, to cancel the server. The billing date of the server is 13th of every month.
I sent them the cancellation form on 30th of last month, asking them to terminate the server by 1st of next month (thereby 30 days notice). But they say that they will bill me on this 13th for another full month, and they'll cancel the server only on 13th of next month! WTF? So, the notice period becomes 43 days!
I have never experienced something like this with other providers I'm using but just wanted to know..

I'm starting to do my homework on a dedicated server and am really not that savvy on what's best for my needs.
Firstly, I'm just trying to determine how much grunt I need and am not really sure of the benefits of multi-core vs single core vs single processor vs multi processor.
I've been running on a low density VPS with 1 Gig ram for a while and it's doing fine but won't handle this setup too much longer. My site does a very high amount of disk read/writing and for the size of my site there are a lot of database calls.
I'm thinking a multi-processor will do wonders for a database intensive site, but will a single multi-core process do fairly well also? My budget is at the low end and obviously I can afford more for a multi-core single processor.
I have a local server who has only 1 IP. I would like to ask how to setup multiple site by using different ports. eg: site1:8080 ; site2:8081 ; site3:8083 , etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy host and I discussed over a month ago the possibility of adding on another server so that I can use one for MySQL and the other for web, and eventually as my sites expand add a third one so that two balance the loads and the one will be dedicated just for MySQL.
Well, it's been a month now and I have had a server dedicated for MySQL and the other one dedicated for web set up. A month has gone by and my host and I are having problems setting it up - I have not been able to use the new server and have already had to pay the bill when I have not been able to use it for its purpose!
The old server was supposed to act as the MySQL while the new server was supposed to be for web. We are having so many problems trying to set this up, well at least my host is, and I am becoming more and more frustrated as the days go on because I am paying for the new server that I can't even use because it's not set up properly.
I am using DirectAdmin control panel and linking them is a pain in the butt. I linked my host to this article, but I don't think he's implementing what is being instructed to do:
[url]
The new server is still not working properly with the MySQL server and I have no idea what to do here. I have already paid for a month's service for no reason and now I am starting to feel robbed because this process is taking so long.
I am willing to switch control panels if it will speed up the process. Does anybody know of any control panels that will be better suited for my need? I'd ideally like to simply manage both servers in one control panel - under one license - and manage each server's services and most importantly the MySQL and it's databases on the dedicated server for MySQL.
I am working on a busy and popular website which has a large amount of database activity - and requires hourly backups of all database data.
At the moment the site is hosted on two servers - one for the front end web server, one for the database.
Both servers are running a RAID HDD system which allows quick swaps of faulty HDDs without data loss.
An hourly full backup of database tables is running which is killing the server when it runs.
ISP has suggested installing a third server to run as a slave to the existing DB server, and hence always hold a duplicated of the live database.
I have a feeling however that this is basically just like having RAID mirroring, but on a different machine - so to solve the problem of a potential dodgy SQL statement wiping out ALL copies of the live database, we'd STILL need hourly backups to run, and hence would still see the major system speed drop each hour at the time of backup.
for a SMTP server / hints at how it might be done to accomodate the following :
One single email will be sent. If it doesn't get sent on the first try by one server, another server at another location will attempt the connection and will send out the email then.
Is there a prebuilt solution that anyone knows that will help with these things ? If not, do you know of any ways that this might be possible to be done - even if you don't know the exact details of how it should be done - any help in finding out something like this would help .
Note :
Linux / Windows / FreeBSD / Solaris is fine. So whatever OS it is, it's fine by me.

View 14 Replies View Relatedso after 16 months using vps servers i thing i have it all cleared up. There is no such thing as the 10/10-allmighty-everything-is-so-good provider it all depends in what are you OK with.
Now t3h facts, what i care about a provider is
- Price
- Performance
- Uptime-AKA-Reliability
- Provided Resources
I've been with 4 different providers (SolarVPS, Knownhost, JarguarPC, FutureHosting)
I will not do a long review but i will tell you some facts of my experience with them.
I started with SolarVPS (Mercury Plan 256MB-384MB-10G-200G-Cpanel-unmanaged-33.75), i started having a lot of problems, black zone alerts every day most of the time, bad performance, the server felt really slow, but after many months in the vps market i think it was because 256MB with Cpanel don’t play well, specially if you have a busy forum that needs many apache childs and lots of mysql usage. After 1 months using it i jumped off the ship to Knownhost. I started blaming SolarVPS but then i realized it was because 256MB weren't enough for my need. So i can't really talk about them, only 3 weeks but i don't think ill be going back , maybe providers shouldn’t offer Cpanel with 256MB systems.
Then the Knownhost Experience (384M-768M-10G-175G-Plesk-semimanaged-42.50), Now after a bad first experience I wanted to go back to shared, but seeing a lot of good reviews about a starter company at that time, I decided to go with them, I used them for 11 months, I can tell you they are reliable, they are good priced, but the performance was my problem.
For example running WHT-UnixBench scored like 60-80 on knownhost, and I had problems with mysql, a lot of queries took too much time and I kept having visitors to the point that apache always reaches the server limit and mysql just wasn’t ready to give the results, so the server also reached the memory limits and virtuozzo killed some services and all that, to the point that just wasn’t ok with it so I started looking where to move. If you need some reliable service, looking closer to that 99.999% uptime and don’t have too much of that resource intensive sites, then imho knownhost is your choice.
I do not know that much of Microprocessors but what I hear is that at this time Intel is really better than AMD, but knownhost stays with AMD for many reasons im sure, I just think that the servers would be a lot faster if they were using Xeons instead of Opterons, but once again I’m not 100% sure
Ok now this is where JaguarPC comes into play, when I was looking for the new provider I find out that Jag was running an awesome deal, if i was moving from another provider they will give me 2 months free, and a lot of specials ->(384MB-1G-30G-450G-fully-managed-Plesk-33.50) <- , so that looked like a really really good deal, I did not hesitate and signed up quite fast.
Started up really bad, when they servers were badly configured so they had to restart the entire node to fix settings many times, virtuozzo was going crazy killing processes and all that, but they fixed it and after 5 months with them everything is really good, then only problem is the reliability-uptime, I can’t get above 99.89%, they have many downtimes, call it “fixing settings”, call it “patching kernel”, call it “getting better”, still it is a downtime, it is a client calling you cause they cant access the mail, or something like that. (BTW im monitoring the server with host tracker).
So why am I staying with them? , because I get a better Prices $$$ , I get more resources, and at this moment my business does not require 99.999% , im ok with 99.9% uptime, and also my sites works really faster, mysql handles the load like a champ. But if they could increase the uptime they will be the closer to 10/10.
If you noticed I didn’t mention futurehosting its because I use them for small experiments, like lighttpd, server administration, as backup server, and other administration learning related tasks. But the servers works really good, im using the Chicago DC and getting better latency than Texas
I hope some day I will use futurehosting more and give a proper review, right now im using the 384MB_SLM-10G-200GB-NoPanel-20$ , everything looks quite good but running unixbench scored less than jaguarpc.
Its just a matter of what you need, and what are you OK, im a student and give hosting to friends and family, I have my own forum that gets many visitors and it is really database intensive, so at this moment im staying with jaguarpc and hope to continue that way
Not sure if I labeled that correctly, but I am looking to setup a multi-server where I offer a cloud ssd hosting plan, and sata hosting plan. The current setup has ssd hosting, but id like to add another ip address, as well as its hard drive to host other websites on that specific server, which is sata based.
For example, I add a domain to my plesk 12 admin account and choose the added Ip address (the sata based one), where it points to that server to access the files for that specific website.
At the moment, cloudflare handles all of my dns settings.. but I am totally lost on how this needs to be setup and if I am required to purchase another plesk license. I am trying to avoid purchasing another plesk license and having to setup a whole new plesk installation just to do this.. This is a vps by the way, not a dedicated server...

I have built a few servers at my home office.
I wanted to ask if there is a data center that might provide additional band wish or backup internet.
By backup internet i mean.
If my internet goes down. It will still be running on a second network.
Not sure how that would truly work however.
My server does connect wireless and the speed is excellent.
However like every provider at times it can go down. Weather, Maintenance etc.
[Mods if this is in the wrong forum just move it to the correct one i think this is the place to put it however]

View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a site where our budget is very constrained, and we're maxing out our unmetered pipe. The majority of the bandwidth is taken up by an active forum.
I offloaded most of the static content (images, .js, .css files) to a CDN (SimpleCDN) which I've been pretty happy with, the costs are very reasonable and fit within our limited budget.
They offered a service where if the content was not found on their network, it would check on our server for the file, retrieve it, and then serve it up from then on. Which was perfect for us as it allows us to use the CDN to serve image files uploaded by users in such a way that it's transparent to the end user.
However they're discontinuing this service, and though they're offering a similar service (based on rsync), they're charging $150 setup fee! So basically I have to pay $150 to keep using the service I've been using for a while. Which I can't really do.
So I'm trying to think of alternatives. I don't think I really need a full bore CDN, while we do have users from around the world, it's not a business site so a few ms isn't going to be the end of the world.
I just need a file hosting solution that has decent performance and fairly inexpensive bandwidth.
It's only 100-200GB / month maybe. At SimpleCDN that was only costing $8 / month.
I looked at Amazon, but they charge 1 cent for 10,000 requests which for us adds up very fast.
I'd almost think of just signing up for a Dreamhost account, but I would think using them to host just our images probably goes against their ToS.
I just got my servers up, DNS servers what not and my main plesk server for shared/reseller hosting.
Now for the weirdest thing ever!
I started working on my plesk packages a few days ago, after I got plesk installed.
Systems stats as follows
Supermicro AS1021M-T2 barebone
[url]
Has 16GB of infeon DDR2-667 memory.
2 250GB hard drives in mirrored configuration with the Acera 9500 w/ 256MB of memory
Running Cent OS 4.4
For some reason, Everytime I go into Plesk, or any of the websites that are contained in Plesk, The nic card drops out, wont allow any activity to get through, both ways.
A little confused about some technical aspects of a setup.
If anyone knows what I am trying to say please advise.
Question :
There are 4 WAN connections.
Conn01 = 10mbps upload Line with IP 111.111.111.111
Conn02 = 1mbps upload Line with IP 222.222.222.222
Conn03 = 100mbps download / 1mbpx upload Line with IP 333.333.333.333
Conn04 = Dialup line at 56kbps with IP 444.444.444.444
If I connect all these to a Multi WAN Router lets say Linksys RV016.
1) When a client tries to upload something to the server with IP 444.444.444.444 will it still run at 56kbps or will it be load balanced into the fastest line which is 10mbps.
2) When a Client's server connected at 111.111.111.111 tries to download something from the internet to this multi WAN setup, does he get a max of 10mbps or will he be routed to the 100mbps?
I doubt that anyone can solve this, but here goes...
This is my first server, and I simply cannot get it to work.
MY CONFIGURATION:
Speedstream 4200 DSL modem w/ethernet line to NETGEAR Wireless Router (WPN824). The router connects with CAT5 cable to my Windows XP server computer (which has the latest Apache and PHP). Wirelss signal is used for my other computer.
I am running Apache with no-ip as well. My site name is: [url]
MY PROBLEM:
I have set up HTTP port forwarding in my modem (which for some reason acts as a router as well) to port 80, with my server address as 192.168.254.10 The problem is that I cannot connect to my web site within my network. My friend is able to view the website from his home.
I am not able to configure my NETGEAR router to accept the port forwarding of 192.168.254.10 because it isn't a "valid LAN address" --- but I can't configure my modem to use a different address either.
1. My modem is plugged into the Internet Port on my WPN824
2. My XP server is plugged into one of the four LAN PORTS on my WPN824
3. My modem is set to forward port 80 to 192.168.254.10
4. My WPN824 is set to forward port 80 to your XP server address 192.168.1.3
Obviously something is wrong with my guess, because just forwarding the modem to 192.168.254.10 doesn't seem like it could get my friend connected all the way through to your Apache server.
IP ADDRESSES:
Default Gateway: 192.168.254.254
XP/Apache: 192.168.1.3
Speedstream 4200 Modem: 192.168.254.254
NETGEAR: 192.168.1.1
Server (forwarded on 80): 192.168.254.10
The 'default gateway' is set to (according to an ipconfig run) 192.168.1.1 (NETGEAR router) However, the 'default gateway' in the NETGEAR router page says that "gateway IP address" is 192.168.254.254 (modem)...
STATIC IP?
Also, my Network Connections is set to 'obtain IP address automatically'. I have tried to set it to a static IP, but it doesn't work. The router wil not allow me to forward to the server with any IP that is?.254.?
Unfortunately, this setup is very complicated and I think that something is conflicting.
I have this felling that I'm really close but that something very small is in the way.
I am currently looking for a new IP KVM. Right now I use a mix of HP and Raritan KVMs and I'm honestly not super happy with either of them. The main feature I'm looking for is the ability to setup multiple users and only allow them to access certain ports/devices on the KVM.
What would be the best IP KVM to look at for this?
We have a need in one of our locations to multi-home ourselves, as the facilities provider doesn't meet our needs. If we get a /24 from one of our upstreams (L3 for example), will they allow us to broadcast it to our other providers as well? Obviously we'll have our own ASN and be doing the routing.

Basically i need to execute some command line scripts on a windows server. The way im doing this is vbscript which is called in asp.
What i really want to do is have a central server on linux which i can host a php script and mysql database on which in turn connects to the windows server to execute the vbscript.
Ive always worked with php and mysql so i dont really want to run everything in asp. If i did run everything in asp im not to sure if it would be clever to run asp scripts with mysql and would then have to go to the microsoft sql 2005 route.
So my question is what would be my best way to run php and mysql on a linux server that can in turn connect to a windows server to run a vbscript or execute through command line and log data to mysql, baring in mind authentication and security.
I do have php and mysql set up on the windows server but after alot of trouble getting it running right im not to keen on running the php scripts local, i really need a central linux server for the scripts.
