View 7 RepliesI have some questions about Windows 2003. I have tested many different Windows VPS hosts and I have noticed that some of them offers Windows 2003 enterprise edition and some offers Datacenter edition. What is the difference between the two?
I remember that godaddy had datacenter ed and the vps I use now (eukhost) is using enterprise edition.
I use GoDaddy for my shared host and it limits me to 999 emails a day through my server mailhost and I use interspire email marketing to send emails to my clients and other opt-in leads (I am 100% spam compliant) but I can't seem to get around the 999 a day. I am forced to use a program I had to get to send the rest (I send 10,000 a day) and the program uses my isp's direct send but the thing is I want to use Interspire as it automatically unsubscribes and keeps statistics...

View 13 Replies View RelatedThe following story depicts my experience with www.rackmountsetc.com which is a California-based server vendor. This is the first review that I have done on WHT, so let me know if you like it or no. I might, some day, review the server providers that I have used. This review is unbiased and quite long, I spent a few hours working on it. I hope that you’ll enjoy reading it.
Introduction
In early 2007, I made the decision to buy a server and colocate it, instead of leasing a dedicated server. Part of the problem is the fact that I live in Canada, and although vast and very technologically savvy, there aren’t many server hardware vendors here. When there aren't many players in the market, there is no competitive pricing. My budget was low and I needed a dual-core server which would last me for a while.
The search begins
I spent days on the computer searching for a hardware vendor which satisfied both my price range and quality requirements. I was turned down from various canadian server vendors as they had quoted me thousands of dollars for a mere Intel Core 2 Duo-based server. I knew that finding a vendor based in the United States was a better choice for me. The problem, then, was to find out which company I should pick out of the hundreds available. I asked around and several of my friends recommended me Rackmounts ETC.
As soon as I visited Rackmounts ETC’s website, I was amazed by the pricing and quality of the hardware. I liked the fact that they used Supermicro motherboards and enterprise-quality Western Digital drives. Better yet, it was all affordable. Even better than all of this, for me, is the fact that they ship to Canada. After hearing this, I immediately filed in a quote. Just the curious people out there, I was looking at an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 4GB of RAM, and a hardware RAID1 with two 250GB SATA drives.
The next morning, I received an email with the quoted price. The price was around $1600, compared to $2500+ that the other companies wanted. (Disclaimer: Prices have dropped since April. Such a similar machine will probably now cost $1300 or less). I gave them my credit card number and hoped for the best. I promptly received a UPS tracking number and my server was going to be here in about a week (from San Diego, California to Montreal in Quebec). If I’m not mistaking, Rackmounts ETC now delivers any order second day without any additional fees.
The big Supermicro box arrives
A week later, I saw a UPS truck pull over in my street. I ran to the door like a crazy maniac to discover that the driver itself had a hard time lifting up the package. I never knew how big or heavy 1U servers were. I hauled the box to the office to open it up.
I’m a big fan of great packaging. The server was shipped in the original box from Supermicro and had foam all over. Upon opening up the server to inspect it, everything was in tip-top shape and I couldn’t help noticing that the cabling work was superb.
The hardware
This is the part of the review that we’ve been all waiting for.
The case, power supply and motherboard are all from Supermicro. The case is extremely sturdy and the whole system doesn’t feel like it was cheaply assembled. The motherboard is a PDSMI+ and the case is the SC811T-300B. Both a very good combination, but Rackmounts ETC also have many other cases if 4 or more drives are required.
A very sturdy Supermicro heatsink was mounted on top of the CPU and the whole was surrounded by a plastic air shroud to route the air more efficiently through the CPU to cool it. I love the fact that 1U servers efficiently take the cool air from the front and force the hot air to the back. The air shroud also let air through a bit at the bottom, so it was pushing enough cold air to keep the RAM modules cool too. I was surprised that there were no fans on the left side of the case to cool the north bridge and RAID card, but I'm assuming that these don't get very hot.
The hard drives are hot-swappable and are manufactured by Western Digital. It’s also good to know that they’re the Enterprise series, as they have a few optimizations in them to make those drives work better in a RAID environment. In my case, the hard drives that I ordered were the 160GB 16MB Cache WD1600YS drives.
The RAM that was used inside the server was just regular DDR2 non-ECC RAM by SuperTalent (Rackmounts ETC ships ECC RAM on Xeon servers and on any other machine when requested). Upon googling for the brand of memory, I've seen a few negative reviews by other people.
To this day, I'm still a bit mad at myself for not getting ECC. Never the less, SuperTalent has lifetime warranty and they are probably better than the hundreds of unknown brands (and re-branded brands) out there which are being sold in the bargain bins of the local Best Buy stores.
The RAID controller that came with my server was the most inexpensive controller that Rackmounts ETC had. A 3ware Series-8006 2LP 2-port SATA RAID PCI-X card. The down side about this one is that it's not compatible with SATA2, but the performance that I've gotten with this card was absolutely on-par with other RAID1 arrays that I have used in the past.
It might also be a good idea to note at this point that I did not order either an IPMI card, a DVD-ROM neither a floppy drive. These devices aren't useful for me. It seems that Rackmounts ETC is using Sony DVD-Rom drives and Supermicro Floppy drives. I would also judge these brands very high quality and I wouldn't expect having trouble with any of these if I had ordered them. Installing such devices at a later point in the server would also be easily possible. It's just a matter of removing the dummy covers, putting in the cabling for the IDE/Floppy cable, and splitting the single MOLEX cable.
But there's one more thing...
I was extremely excited by the thought of having such powerful hardware on my desk, but I've forgotten two things. One being a miscellaneous detail and the other one being slightly more important:
The first one, being not very important. With the order, Rackmounts ETC had a special to get a free Cat5e cable. They had forgotten to include it in with my server.
Secondly, after booting up my server for the first time (see next section), I realized that the server had not the right CPU in it. I had ordered a Core 2 Duo E6600 and I found a Pentium D 3GHz inside my server. The price difference between both these processors is minimal, but the performance difference is extraordinary.
I immediately called up Rackmounts ETC and spoke with Brian, the owner and a very nice guy who likes aviation and golfing, has told me that this was a rare situation and that both the new processor and cable would be shipped as soon as possible. I've assembled computers in the past and changing the processor was an easy process for me. I'm sure that he would have accepted to have the machine shipped back to him if I didn't have the knowledge to change the CPU.
A few days later, the new processor and cable showed up. I changed the processor and the server booted flawlessly. To this day, I'm thankful to Brian for being so patient with my shipping back of the Pentium D processor. I was very busy at the time and also was having issues with communicating with UPS and finding out the implications of shipping a processor across the border.
POST, POST and above
I connected an external CD-ROM drive to install CentOS on it. It was a painful halfof an hour because the five 15000RPM fans sounded like a vacuum cleaner. Luckily, I was able to adjust the speed in the BIOS to automatically speed up or down depending on the temperature of the CPU core. I first had some trouble getting CentOS5 working with the RAID controller. Luckily, I opted for the 64-bit version of CentOS4 and it worked like a charm.
To this day, this server is happily humming and working non-stop in the datacenter for already 5-6 months. I've had zero hardware issues and no crashes nor instability problems.
But that's not it...
I have spoken to Brian, the owner, and I am amazed at the range of services that they offer. He said that his team have been building everything from very low-power and efficient servers to even monsters. It's a shame that his website only lists a fraction of what they do, as I am sure that they could be getting way more business their way.
Pictures
I wouldn’t be a hardware review without any pictures! I have posted a few pictures below. I’m extremely sorry for the quality of these, as I merely took a few snapshots when I had received the server. I blurred out a few serial numbers also:

It’s a shame that WHT doesn’t allow to post images in a post, as I had already prepared thumbnails for these.
Conclusion
I'm very happy that I found Rackmounts ETC. They provided me great service, great hardware and at amazingly low prices. I've been recommending Rackmounts ETC to my friends and I'm looking forward to buying more servers. I will never buy a server from another manufacturer as long as Rackmounts ETC exists.
The PROsLow Price
Very high quality Supermicro motherboard, power supply and case
Enterprise edition hard disk drive
Great customer service and support
The CONsThe RAM used (SuperTalent) isn’t liked by everyone. I’ll likely replace it to another brand when and if it will fail.
A few accessories were forgotten in my order. (But I was assured that it was a rare case and those were shipped very quickly)
I was wondering if anyone know how the anon edition is suppose to look? Is it just like a regular edition? From what I read, it is an honor system where you trust the client not to break the license. Am I wrong here? Would there be anything built in to prevent a client from running authenticated softwares? built into the OS itself?

I noticed MS has lifted some of the restriction concerning the Web Server edition, it's like half the price of Standard.
I'm mainly going to be hosting a couple of separate web sites, run ASP.Net and PHP, along with some database servers (currently considering SQL Server Express and MySQL).
Email server is being considered, though our load isn't too great, it's just for a couple of friends and myself. We're also intending to run game servers off it (Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty series, etc.) on occasions.
Would the Web Server edition suffice for these? Or is it still technically limited/has license restrictions, and I will need at least the standard edition?
I may also intend to serve streaming windows Media files.

I asked this question before in the past and I still have to ask it: has anyone used both Ubuntu Server Edition and CentOS? I would like to compare both operating system, in terms of speed, performance, security, and stability.
I have decided to build my new server and use Ubuntu Server Edition 64-bit operating system after using CentOS 64-bit operating system for a bit over a year now.
The reason why I have chosen to use Ubuntu Server Edition is because of the operating system's fabulous reputation among desktop PC users, and its large and helpful support community.
Support is what I need most, and Ubuntu seems to have it. I also am not the best with Linux yet, so it will definitely be needed. Ubuntu also seems to update its software faster than other operating systems.
I hope my decision to switch from CentOS 64-bit to Ubuntu Server Edition 64-bit will not be in vain.
Can anyone compare these two 64-bit operating systems and possibly link me to some reviews, comparisons, and/or benchmark results?
Does it come with Hyper-V?
Pros?
Cons?

how to adjust the mailbox sizes.
