Let's say a dedicated server has following specs:
Single quad core 2Ghz Xeon cpu
4Gb ram
250Gb SATA
100Mbps connection
and each blog has latest WP version and some plugins(without supercache) installed, 100 unique hits/day.
so how many blogs can I plant in this box?
(bandwidth is not considered.)
If i like to put 30 wordpress blogs on a vps no high traffic blogs will be between 50-250 uniques per day per blog and with space to grow if some blogs start attract good traffic
Im thinking about spending $59usd
but most important would be to find a suitable vps for what i need , what specs would
you recommend for this kind of usage?
How many WordPress blogs should I host on a WiredTree VPS 384 which would not overload the server?

Needs to be fast no slow overselled hosts
How many wordpress blogs can be hosted on a Hostgator Business Shared hosting or MediaTemple Grid-Service hosting account?
Also which one of the two is better hosting?
I am using aplus.net to host a WordPress blog and want to create more blogs.
Since aplus.net took 26 hours to restore my blog when somehow it was corrupted (no explanation on what they did), I have decided I need to host it someplace where I have full control.
I would be prepared to reinstall WordPress on my own. I also want to have the ability to control redirects. aplus provides a handful of very weak tools for managing the site.
I'm looking for a host that would allow me to manage multiple domains, and multiple instances of WordPress. I'm prepared to manage the MySQL db (if I have to, though I would prefer it if I had support for this).
I use zoneedit to point my domain to the server, and a few times their servers don't respond for a few minutes that causes my site to be unaccessible. I was wondering if there was any better way of doing this? Please give me suggestions on what to do to have proper dns.

I own two large hacking // gaming sites and host a few others. I need a company that can offer fully managed, secure,ddos protected, fast dedicated servers.
A big thing with me is if someone sends my hosting company a message saying, HEY your server is hosting hacks or illegal material, the company wont just go OH OK and shut down the server.
I use a couple of different hosting companies.
Recently, I've begun setting up blogs.
I've been trying to set up blogs on Company "A" for the past month and have had nothing but problems.
While waiting to hear back - one more time - from tech support on Company "A"
I set up a blog on Company "B". Everything set up perfectly, smoothly and in about 1 hour I had the blog up and running.
I'm using 2.5.1 WPB and plugins that are NOT known to have "issues".
I've used the same themes and plugins on "A" and "B".
I changed permissions on a couple of the plugins (company A) and the plugins just disappeared.
I tried setting up widgets and none work.
if there are specific settings server side that make setting up blogs work/not work?
If I used the PHP mediawiki script and I had10,000 wiki articles, and 2 million users were browsing my site which is hosted on two Dedicated servers that are P4 Quad Core 2.6GHZ 4GB RAM 100Mbit dedicated port with a load balancer, would my servers handle this amount of simultaneous users and how fast would each wiki article take to load when all these 2million users are online if each article was 300KB?
And what is the maximum number of users online at the same do you think these 2 servers could handle?
Dedicated machine with 750GB HD x2, 16GB Ram, Dual Opteron 2212 Dual Core Processors, we are on a 100mbps burstable.

I have a client that asked me to educate myself about web hosting and make a recommendation to him about where he should be. He currently has a shared hosting server at Network Solutions and finds unexplained slow downs and disk corruption reports in his forums DB unacceptable.
I'm glad I found this site-lots of good info but nothing like throwing up some stats and seeing what people recommend. The client told me he wanted to move to a dedicated server but I'm thinking a VPS might do the trick. Especially if upgraded with dedicated Core as well as RAM such as wiredtree is offering.
Looking for a managed, Unix based server that in a typical month serves
100k unique visitors
230k page views
500Gb of downloads
But needs to be easily upgradeable to handle his expected traffic levels in the next year of monthly visits in the order of:
250k unique visitors
600k page views
1.1Tb of throughput
As far as features:
*Currently they use about 15 gigs of disk space. Some of that is inefficient disk management but the bulk is them supporting previous software releases.
*needs to be fully managed
*US datacenter with all the features you guys would expect to have as far as backbone access, security, power backups, etc..
*Backups by provider. Let's say 5 gigs worth since the old software versions don't really need to be backed up.(I'll recommend his own backups as well)
*Either plesk or cpanel
*15 minute hardware SLA is what the client is asking for but i'd like to present some comparisons to 1 hour SLA companies to see how much he'd save.
And finally, i tried to search for the answer to this but the keywords kept bringing up lots of hits without good info. The client sells software so the bandwidth needed is pretty consistent until they release a new version. Then it skyrockets to the point they may have 1500 people trying to download a 50Meg file simultaneously. What is the right way to handle that? Use a CDN or negotiate with the hosting provider to provide burstable bandwidth as needed. As a side note while looking at many offerings I was most surprised that bandwidth seems to sold in large chunks with overage costs hidden.
How well would a website do if it was featured on d-igg with these specs? (assuming it was the only site on the server)
Xeon 2.8, Quad core 4mb cache

For the beginning, just wondering, what server configuration do you need to handle 150.000-200.000 uniques/month?
View 9 Replies View Relatedif upgrading to that new server that I'll mention will probably solve my problems. Whatever help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Below are the details:
In the GMT evenings and nights my current server gets so loaded that every page load takes 10 - 30 seconds. Even the pure html pages will be so slow to load. It seems that after a certain treshold it just suddenly becomes that much slower. Not much middleground there. I have high MaxClients and ServerLimit values now and the error log doesn't say that they are exceeded anymore but that didn't help enough.
I have a high traffic website that is using latest version of apache (2.2.x) with the prefork MPM and apache is optimized, PHP 5.2.5 and APC 3.0.15.
I get 160,000 - 210,000 pageloads per day. 32,000 - 45,000 visits per day.
Most of its pages are PHP but shouldn't be too CPU or databes intensive. Mysql isn't used and I mostly used sharedmem (php's shm functions) for databases. 2 semaphores are quite heavily used but that can't explain how a few more users would make the server serve pages so much slower.
Swap usage is practically 0 and CPU user % usage is like 1 - 2 % and CPU system % is also about the same even during peak times. However the Average Load or whatever that "top" reports is 6 - 9.
My current server scecs: 1 GB Ram, Pentium D 3 ghz, CentOS 5 32bit fully updated.
I load all pictures and even the stylesheet from a secondary server by using href="$secondaryserverIP..." in the html code, so the main server practically just serves the pages.
My new server will have apache with the worker MPM and latest versions of every software. Also its specs are: 2 GB of RAM, Intel Dual Core Xeon 2.40GHz, CentOS 5.1 32bit fully updated.
I have a sophisticated netstat based ddos script that is an improved version of DDoS Deflate and while some of these slowdowns seem to have been caused by attacks that it then was able to defend me from, most of them are not. I am even protected from users who constantly have 7+ connections to my site and if someone has a way too high number of connections, the script won't even check if it constantly has it and the script just bans that user outright. It probably is banning a bunch of innocent proxy users too but that is a small price to pay.
I have a video sharing site running Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz with 2 gb RAM and 400 gb Hard Disk.
the server load average increase up to 89,00.00.....
and the users online in my site is around 190 online.
do i need quad core server to maximize my site?
how many players you would estimate the following server could handle running Counter-Strike Source dedicated Server?
Dell PowerEdge 1550 1U Rackmount Server
1Ghz P3 Processor -
1GB RAM
2X36Gb U160 SCSI Hard Drives in RAID1 for redundancy
Windows 2000 server
Network connectivity is 100mbit in a London DC.
Of course its not possible to give a 100% accurate figure however i would like a rough estimate prior to me purchasing this machine.
what the max number of hits is a quard core server with RAID disk system can handle, it is running on a Linux with separated MySQL server?
The host says there are no restrictions on the bandwith, but somehow it is strange we always only have MAX 300 users online (24/7/365) now I wonder if it just is that way or if some users might be denied access from time to time when they try to enter some of the websites hosted on the server ?
Maybe you know a monitoring service or something that can tell if this is an issue.
I have a client who's server has got DDOS attack. It causes the network disruption and DC wants to turn off the server. My client feels it stupid to turn off the server just like that.
can large attacks prevented server side?
We are setting up 100s of new domain names every day. We are only hosting a simple blog, in fact with our current setup we are on a HostGator Reseller account and we are just using one account meaning one single cPanel account.
We have a script that automatically runs when people sign up for our service, this script sets up an addon domain on that same single cPanel account with the same document root. Our modified wordpress blog simply looks at the HTTP_HOST in the config file and opens a separate database tables for every new domain name.
The problem we are running into is not the bandwidth usage, nor storage space. But simply the mass addon domains. The cPanel adddomain.html script seems to be getting ran so many times it is overloading the web server.
So I have read about some other people here WHT that are starting to use a new server software that uses a lot less server resources then WHM and cPanel. So I am wondering what hosting companies can provide that sort of a server.
Specifically:
Storage: A couple hundred GB
Bandwidth: 1000s of GB
Server software to run PHP scripts and mySQL databases
Ability to create 1000s of addon domains every day.
Does this need to be an array of servers?
We are ready to get moving on a deal now.
Past shared hosting deals we been trying out sucks. We are a community forum that just started but know we will grow a big database in the future. We want to prepare now and have no problems. It's a LOCAL Radio-Control (R/C) forum.
What VPS Host would you guys recommend that handles forums well? So far, I broke down to WiredTree.com.
Since I have never worked on the server end of things I had a quick question for all you web hosting gurus.
Is it possible to have PHP installed on ONE single server and still have the ability for the server to work with both MS Access AND MySQL at the same time?
I would think YES, but I am being told by our server branch at my current job that this is not the case. They claim there is no way for the server on one machine to be able to handle both types of databases. Are they right?
If they are wrong and it is possible to have one server run both type of databases, what steps would be necessary to set up the server to handle both types? Do we need to tweak the php.ini file or is there another method of allowing the server the ability to work with both MySQL and MS Access.
Sorry if this question seems stupid or odd, as I said, I have minimal experience on the server end but I am confident that a server can handle both.
Does anyone know of a tool (I've seen it before but forgot the name) which is a bar like 100x30 in pixel and when you click it, a box popups allowing you to select facebook, orkut, myspace, wordpress, etc etc, and you can blog the current site url you are surfing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been building a business around blogs and other social media items on mostly OSS technology - but unfortunately, my current reseller account is inadequate for what I need (especially with sites that query a DB) and unable unfortunately to upgrade to what I might need. I don't want to rip on them because they've provided me great service, but they're just not able to ramp up. My thought is there won't be any reseller to meet my needs after learning more info, so I'm going to make the leap up.
I'm not going to go pound the pavement for hosting business; this is only really for my clients I serve as a agency/consultant/designer and my clients need and deserve more.
I have been considering Mosso; but also weighing a dedicated box as it's around the same price and looking around here for the solutions people recommend for the past few hours. But since I sort of have a specialty application, I thought I'd ask for your recommendations.
I want to say that I came here from another forum because my provider was affected by the Planet outage and the conversation and knowledge was great; you are a very smart community. I hadn't heard of this place beforehand but am glad I found it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy friend got a new vps as he had been experiencing ram issues with older host, now he has 1gb RAM, so there should be no trouble with the RAM
He is getting 500 Internal Server error, he is using wordpress and some other image hosting script, the traffic is pretty high and he is using lighthttpd, fastcgi probably turned on
I am not sure, if turning of lighthttpd and activating apache would solve any problem, as I am scared his scripts might get screwed up by doing this move and his main sites could totally go down
Basically I installed wordpress in the same mysql as forum... but wordpress uses different username to connect to it. I wonder if there is any security risk associated with this, like would it be better to move out wordpress on to a different db? what about speed? what if my forum receives allot of mysql usage?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI know it's not specifically a plesk issue, but as I use plesk to resell webs and many users install (manually) wordpress, I thought I'll ask around.I would like to know if this can be done with a single sql select or if I would have to use a script to do this:
- track all mysql databases on my server
- find the proper table in each database (as the prefix can be customized, the start of the table name will probably never be the same in two WP installations)
- find the proper field in that table and check the WP version and administrator email
and then what I will do is send an email to those adresses advising them to update WP
I built a web hosting server, the following is its state
Cent os 5
AMP server loaded updated (installed it as a complete suite during installation so it was all set to go with php mysql modules loaded)
webmin
usermin virtualmin
created 2 named based hosts.
now when i load up wordpress in a site and try to run install.php
the following pops up
"Sorry, I can't write to the directory. You'll have to either change the permissions on your WordPress directory or create your wp-config.php manually."
I had this issue before and research said to redo the entire server (tried everything and was fed up had fedora then"
you can have a look at www.itgrunts.com just click create config file and the errror pops up.
The php and mysql db work great on simple scripts but i dont know why this happens.
i worked with assigning the users and apache user to the directory and everything, no joy.
