I Have Lots Of Bandwidth, But My Host Is Slow - Should I Pay For Virtualization
Sep 12, 2007
I use a host that gives me way more bandwidth and space than I need, but it is still super slow. It's Dreamhost who is known for charging very low fees and promising the world. Although my sites do load and I get unlimited everything pretty much, I can't stand the slow loads.
They have offered me virtualization of my server so I can create my own virtual server with 150Mhz and 150MB of dedicated CPU/memory for $15 more a month... do you think that will speed me up a lot or should I just suck it up and pay for a better host that doesn't pimp themselves out so badly?

My friend is setting up a media sharing site which will use a lot of bandwidth. He would like to colo two 2U servers with 10TB or so of bandwidth each. I have advised him that FDCservers unmetered is about the best price he can have. Can anyone else suggest a place offering 100mbit or 10TB of transfer for less than $1000/month per server.

I've a few arcades sites and they're using more bandwidth than my servers can handle (> 2TB month). I currently have two dedicated boxes.
The sites are static, so they don't require much processing power, just bandwidth (lots of .swf files).
My current host(liquidweb) offered me a 10mb unmetered for 100usd/month, which sounded too much, as I think that I'd be better renting more servers(Or VPSs) and spreading the sites (avoiding single point of failure).
I searched and thought about trying mediatemple grid service, which offers 1TB bw/month.
What do you guys think? Will I be able to use all the BW they promise, ow they will try to kick me off saying that I'm using too much resources(even I hosting only static files)?

I usually move 900MB to 1.1GB or so of Data per month.
I noticed today that I've moved 3.5GB this month. How can I tell what file(s) are being moved?
I'm uncertain how I have tripled how much data I usually move.

I run a large service on 2 machines (we're talking 8x2.66Ghz processing power, 4-6GB ram, etc), however we are thinking about creating a node/clustered setup to help spread the load, bandwidth, mysql (having one server for hundreds of thousands of databases is not wise it seems :p), diskspace etc. Lots of machines just seems to be a cheaper and more powerful option.
Would you advise going with lots of lower end machines, or just a few mid-range machines.
Here is what I propose:
3 of these
Dual Xeon 3GHZ Dual-Core (4x3GHz)
3GB RAM
500GB Sata Drive
4000 GB Bandwidth
100mbit
or
4 of these
XEON X3220 QUAD CORE 2.4GHZ 1066FSB
2GB DDR2 RAM (Upgradeable)
250GB HDD
2000GB Bandwidth
100mbit
or
7 of these
Dual Xeon 3.06 Ghz
2GB DDR2 RAM
250GB SATA
2000GB BW/MONTH
100mbit
All of the above are roughly similar prices in total.

I have a list of a few thousands subscribers and want to use a joomla component to handle my sign ups and announcements. Problem is my web host only allows a certain amount of emails per hour, and a cap on emails per day. Are there any email hosts, meaning, a service I can sign up with that will allow me to send these emails? I don't want anything complex like aweber and constant contact. I just want the articles on my site's news section to become the actual announcement/newsletter. I thought about Feedburner, but they don't let you import your subscribers.. I wouldn't be sending announcements every day, but perhaps a couple of times per month..

Which virtualization technology is better? Hardware level or software level? My friend suggested me to go for software level virtualization. However, I am still concerned about the technology as to which I should choose?

I have a client who has came to me for advice on his web site. I own a dedicated server and manage it using PLESK. I do pretty well managing it but I'm definitely not an expert on hosting by any means. So I need your help.
He is starting a new web site and he is going to do radio advertising on a lot of stations and expects to get a lot of hits. The web site seems to be pretty small with only a few pages of text and minimal pictures, so I don't think it will use that much just by the site being so small.
But anyway, I want him and me to feel comfortable that the site is not going to go down no matter how many hits he gets. How do I guesstimate this?
What are some good hosting companies that offer high bandwidth and protect you from overage charges -- or at least charge little for overages. I'm looking to spend less than $80/month. Also, do you have any idea: How many users will 10GB bandwidth cover if it's only a 5 page site with one picture on each page and 5 paragraphs of text just to get an idea.

I am sure this thread was most likely created before but I haven't been able to find anything on the particular host I just had an issue with.
It goes like this.
I've been through web hosts ever since 1998. I've grown accustomed to web hosts deceiving their customers by listing '20 gigs of BW use, or 'Unlimited BW' (which we all know is BS) but for the past few years, I actually had a host who didn't lie about how much BW their customers got with the packages. I signed up for a 20 gig BW account with HostVector and I've used up to 19 gigs and they have never said a single word. I left them recently because they were bought out by Millennium Services and ever since then, its been a nightmare. Constant down time, tech support nowhere to be found. Sadly to say, I had to leave that host due to fact that their new owners have no clue what they are doing.
I found ELIEF and thought they looked promising. I signed up for the package that listed 20 gigs of BW, now at first I thought okay.. this may be fishy, but if this was a flake, they would have specified that customers really won't get 20 gigs of BW.
Regardless, I trusted them the way I trusted HostVector. Seeing how I am a musician, I uploaded a 80MB pack and sent it to some friends to download and not even a 12 hours later. My account was suspended because it apparently caused their server to crash?
I checked the stats and only 68 users downloaded that 80MB file.
This is beyond aggravating. I know there are countless web hosts who lie about this type of stuff but why cant at least specify someplace on their page a more detailed info about bandwidth usage? Maybe put an asterisks next to the BW section like some hosts do and explain that what is listed there is not the reality.
So here I am, my domain is suspended. My fans/listeners/friends are wondering what happened and I am sitting here angered beyond belief because I thought this type of lying was something that hosts stopped doing in the late 90s.
Any recommendation guys? Does an honest web host who actually offers the same amount of BW they list on their hosting packages, exist anywhere?

I tried to put as much as possible into the title
I've had asmallorange for like 6 years now, was great host but lately uptime seemed to suffer a bit. Searching for some new one to try.
Could You recommend a cheap less than $5/mo shared hosting?
What I need:
highest uptime available, 99.8 or above would be great
use more than 10 websites with them, addon domains feature.
bandwidth above 1 gig, maybe above 5, not sure.
support doesn't matter that much, cause I almost never ned to contact them, lol
another thing I'd prefer is to use company's details in WHOIS info - that's really kind of important. Don't like Godaddy's $10 service. Just don't want to pay.

I am hosting a few websites with my host, powweb.com (shared hosting). Now I am thinking to go for an adult xxx website, and my host is not ready to host an adult website with them, and thus, I am looking for a new host now.
Things are:
1. I have very little knowledge about server management, as till now my shared host was doing everything, so I may need a host who offers a completely managed hosting, including backups, security, etc (just as a shared host would do).
2. I need a host that allows extreme adult contents.
3. The site will be a new one, but I am planning to go for offline marketing and hoping that I will get a good amount of visitors. Also the site will offer online movies. Taking these things into consideration, I am thinking that I may need a host that offers unmetered bandwidth.
I would like to get some tips from you guys, and if any of you know a good host, thanks for letting me know as well.

I have a few questions:
1. I was wondering whether my choice in web host is limited to the particular country where I reside, or whether I can choose a web host from any country? If the latter is true, are there any disadvantages to this?
2. Also, I would like to set up a website and from what I understand of my investigations so far, there exist two possibilities. The first is to download all the necessary software and do it all by myself which will also involve finding a good host that meets my needs and also optimising the website for Google. The other way would be to subscribe to an online company which provides all of these services in one package at a determined price. Which would be better?
3. Has anyone ever come across a site called SiteBuildIt.com, or also known as SiteSell.com? Would this be a good option and are they or do they do what they claim? If it is a good option, are there any other sites similar to SiteSell? Therefore, would it be more practical to subscribe to a company like SiteSell where I can get all my hosting, web design and SEO needs all under one roof or would I be better off going it on my own?
4. With regard to my hosting needs, how much storage and bandwidth will I be looking at in order to run a small real estate website?

any web hosts that don't charge for exceeding your bandwidth, they just shut down the site and you can buy more if you want?
I just don't want any surprises on my CCs.

I'm seriously considering the LVPS-2 plan at SWVPS: 10GB space, 200GB bandwidth, 512MB RAM (burstable to 768MB). I have four sites hosted with MediaTemple but I want to give VPS another shot since it provides full root access. MediaTemple is hosting me fine, but I keep running into roadblocks with things that involve custom compiling. I'd really like some more flexibility.
So how easy would it be to add 4 domains to one VPS plan and have them all in their own subdirectory? Also, two of these domains would have one e-mail address, so I'd need a mail server along with a FTP server. I know these two to be slight resource hogs from my previous VPS experiences, as they both caused me to go over my limit (which was, I think, 256MB).
I sent SWVPS an email but all I got was a suggestion to get a dedicated server. These days it's hard to tell a genuine recommendation from someone trying to milk another $40/mo out of you. I really don't think I need a dedicated server for these sites, as I've hosted much more than that on shared servers (granted, that's a completely different area). I also can't afford dedicated hosting. This $20 price point for LVPS-2 is convenient, because it's the same price at MT, which I'm barely skimming by on.
Site #1 is a personal blog with one email account, powered by PHP and MySQL.
Site #2 is a company website and blog, powered by RoR, but not much database load. It would, however, run Subversion and browse it with Warehouse, a RoR SVN browser. This would probably be the main offender as everything SVN would be managed and run from here.
Site #3 is a software website in RoR, all downloads would be from Site #2's SVN server. It has forums, a bug tracker, a plugin/theme browser, and a development blog, and everything else is just (R)HTML.
Site #4 is another personal site, with one email account.

I'm going to use my apache server to host files(it works with a php script so we can't use FTP for now...) so I was wondering if I could limit this virtual host's bandwidth per second so the websites on the other virtual hosts still load properly. Any module for apache on windows which can do this?

I've got a client who wants to host audio files... Here are the sizes:
50 x 75MBs
300 x 10MBs
400 x 5MBs
That totals 8750MBs or 8.75GBs... If he gets hundreds of visitors, it could end up being 1000's of GBBs or bandwidth.
I don't know what to look for to support so much bandwidth... Do you buy bandwidth? Are their special companies out their that host it for you?

I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?

I have this nice vps, but its on linux, and I always wanted to run windows apps on the vps, because of the nice configuration. I already tried wine, but most of my windows apps don't work, cuz they require .net framework to run.
I tried to instal vmware server and virtualbox, but both of them complain about a kernel problem, they are unable to locate my kernel source, so they can't run.
I am linux newbie, and i am running on a centos 5 operating system.
Some people say its impossible to run virtualization 'inside' virtualization, but i already read some people that say its possible.

In another thread somebody had mentioned something about Citrix Xenserver utilizing shared iSCSI storage with multiple hardware nodes. I think this is a very intriguing concept, but is there anything open source or less expensive that you have used to accomplish similar resource virtualization?
Whether citrix or not, describe your setup!

I have a machine with 2*Xeon 2.66, 16GB Ram, 146GB Raid 1, 292GB Raid 10.
This machine will be used to run Mysql (32bits or 64bits) and MDaemon (32bits only).
I have 2 options to choose and I'm not pretty sure which is better.
a) Win 2008 32bits Enterprize using PAE for ram support and running Mdaemon 32 and Mysql 32.
b) Win 2008 64bits standard having virtualized a win 2008 64 bits for Mysql 64 and a win 2008 32 bits for MDaemon 32.

This is a little bit Offtopic here but maybe it's okay to ask my question.
For my GUI software development i need a virtual server solution. It must run WinXP, WinVista, LinuxI386, LinuxAMD64, FreeBSDI386, FreeBSDAMD64 and Solaris.
I'm currently running VMWare with all this systems. But their KVM tools are very instable - especially when waking up from hibernate etc. They eat the key/mouse focus and the only way to get any reaction is often a hard shutdown.
How good are the other Virtualization Kits? I heared that FreeBSD does not work on VirtualBox? I'm especially interested in Xen but i'm not sure if this is good for Desktop use. Seems that it is promoted almost exclusively as a server solution.

We usually find some constrains using Apache/cpanel (1.3.41). Basically, we serve simple php codes and few images.
We usually setup our server to use lighttpd for static content and apache for dynamic content. Ok, due to some complex requirements on mod_rewrite we use that setup.
But frequently we see our apache reaches it limit and slow down with 0 idle servers. Specially as we have about 270 requests/per second on apache. Our load is low, barely passes 1,2 of load for small periods, our memory ok, our I/O is fine.
But we almost always reaches the 0 idle servers. Until now, our best config was:
Timeout between 60-120
KeepAlive Off
MaxKeepAliveRequests 1000
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 50
MaxSpareServers 200
StartServers 50
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 80
As we clearly see that our server is under usage, I was wondering if it's a limitation on Apache or if I put virtualization on my server and run two apache webservers as cluster I would get better results.
So what do you think about guys? It's a matter of optimization (what could I do better for this httpd.conf setup?) ? Or cluster with virtualization would deliver what I'm looking for.

Run any number of software instances in physical and virtual operating system environments on a server.
Now,I have some questions:
1)Is this method of licensing just for hyper-v or we can use it on vmware ESXi or Xen?
2)How we can use Microsoft Volume Licensing on Vmware ESXi and Xen?
3)What is the best solution for windows virtualization?(vmware esxi or hyper-v or xen)
4)what is difference between xen and xenserver?
5)which control panels we can use for hyper-v,vmware ESXi and xenserver?
