I'm currently on a 256mb RAM VPS plan with CPanel included at GoDaddy and hosting a wordpress blog which gets around 3000 uniques a day. My blog won't even last a day before the server crashes.
Now I've turned almost all plugins and turned off mail services and optimised MYSQL and HTTPD according to some articles on this forum, so I'll see how it turns out tomorrow. But I've still got a lot of functionality I want to add to the site.
It seems to be that this basic VPS plan is inadequate for my demands. Would anyone agree with this? (I got one opinion from another forum, saying it's definitely inadequate)
I'm considering VPS hosting for a web application, which is a typical PHP/MySQL web app, but with some extra code modules for XML parsing and full-text search etc. These modules will surely have an overhead (as compared to a simple data-driven web app) once the web app starts handling concurrent users.
Looking at various VPS plans out there, I was wondering if 256mb RAM will suffice to cater a web application described above. Besides this web app, I do not plan to run anything else on the server (so server processes will be quite restricted). But I certainly don't want the server to crawl down (due to CPU and RAM usage). Thinking about it, 256mb "sounds" too small a number for a server, but hey I'm new to VPS anyways
-- More about the web app: Technically, the website I plan to launch is a typical multi-user PHP/MySQL web application, but one particular PHP script (a search engine script which uses complex database queries and stored procedures) will be invoked very frequently (can't predict how frequently as yet) for database processing (keyword search) and returning some results back to the client.
I am searching for a new webhost, as my current one has been having ongoing problems for the last year or so.
I am considering this plan at hostmysite.com: [url]
However, it says that it uses 256MB of ram ... is this enough? It's just that it sounds low to me, but I don't know much about server configuration. I willing be hosting 12 sites there right away, and adding as time goes on.
I am using a VPS provided by webkeeprs, and actually my site got quite amount of traffic everyday, sometime when it at peak, by then website won't load, and got blank page.
Check with the resourses used, I only got 256mb in ram, and it always show "RED" and which had consumed 240mb on ram already at peak time.
Here is my setting of my httpd.conf file, I am looking for some expert who may give me a hand on this setting:
Include conf.d/*.conf ExtendedStatus Off User apache Group apache #ServerAdmin email@msn.com #ServerName UseCanonicalName Off DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
One of my wordpress blogs got hacked and my site is redirecting to a different site.... When I check the phpmyadmin, there is another sql server that I am not familiar with... and there are around 17 table... I cannot delete the tables... I already contacted my host and still waiting for response...
The installed database is "information_schema (17)"
I recently had issues with HostGator and left them and now I am with MediaTemple... They are absolute crap. My site goes down with "sql errors" every day and it is pathetic.
What is the most cost effective host with the best speed and uptime for my blog?
I am an asp.net developer and want to host my blog. Which hosting provider will be ideal for asp.net blog? I have also seen that some of hosting providers provide blog hosting for blogengin.net or dasblog, should I go for them or should I go for the blog engine that I have built my self?
Implemented WordPress a little while ago via cPanel's Fantastico widget -- vanilla implementation.
Just about every day, I get spam comments in the blog's Inbox for moderation.
Was wondering if folks had general tips on how to prevent or minimize this sort of nuisance and make the blog less bot-accessible, and/or where I might read up on ways to do so.
I'm thinking about puttin up my first blog/site on news since I check news through the whole day anyways so it would be easy for me to manage as my first site. I was wondering how much bandwidth i need? I have a Hostgator "Baby" account [url]and was wondering if this is enough? Eventually I wanna add more sites and I'm worried about the space/bandwidth .. is it hard moving site from 1 server to another? From what I've seen there is a folder for the websites in the ftp but I know that hostgator does the wordpress installing so I'm not sure if I just copy the folder and move it to a bigger server will it save the site/plugins/etc.. the way it was as if it was on hostgator.. hope that makes sense also, usually how long is it to move a site from one server to another?
to migrate a friends Blog from a pre-hosted service to his own domain and hosting. A domain is no problem for me to get but hosting seems to have changed a bit since I last purchased it all myself. Looks like all the old hosting companies I used to use have disappeared, and many are offering monster deals that I really don't need for a Blog.
What I'm looking for is something cheap and simple. It's a British Blog but I would prefer American hosting just due to the cheaper conversion rates. I have no real preferences, just enough to host a Blog and a few images. What I would like is a host that is easy to upgrade should the Blog grow and need more for it.
I am in the process of having a blog developed the following capabilities:
1. Google sitemap - will be generated and pings google after every post you make 2. Will make the links of the blog to be static links with permalinks. 3. Will add social bookmarking facility to posts( possibility to add to delicious, ****, furl, etc) 4. 'Email this post' feature 5. 'Print this post' feature 6. Show how many times a post has been viewed 7. Will install Google adsense plugin, if required. 8. Show 'Recently posted' posts in sidebar 9. Add RSS feeds to blog [Bloglines, Add to Google, My Yahoo, My MSN, Newsgator, etc] 10. Will set up the blog to ping important services when you write a post 11. Change header and color scheme to match your current site 12. Install plugin to automatically hyperlink URL's 13. Install contact form plugin for drop-in form in any new/existing post/page. 14. Install external links plugin that adds a class="external" to all outbound links. 15. Will install Google Analytics Plugin For WordPress 16. Install plugin that shows Next/Previous Post in same Category 17. Site unavailable plugin - useful when you want to make your site unavailable for maintenance. 18. Install wordpress database backup plugin 19. Wysiwyg Editor plugin - provides a much better editor than the one that comes with wordpress 20. Will install Title tag optimization plugin so that you can specify customized title for each post. 21. Will install Meta tags optimization plugin to enable you to specify customized META DESCRIPTION, META KEYWORDS AND OTHER META TAGS FOR each post.
registering the domain with the host or should this be done elsewhere? If it shoudl be doen elsewhere where should it be done?
I'm going to be setting up and hosting a high-profile wordpress blog. It'll probably get around 800.000 pagehits per month. The client has been asking about Peak Capacity, Throughput and whatnot and I'm honestly am not sure what to tell him.
So far I've been maintaining a 1and1 windows 2003 dedicated server with about 20 websites, but none which comes close to that amount of traffic.
My plan is to go for a Linux box with the following specs:
1. which web hosting provider is good for starting web hoster like me?
2. i need web host who support wordpress as blog software and web hosting must be fair price and my blog contain only 10mb size and bandwidth may 1gb/month intial.
2. can i use more than one blog in same domain, if ok in that each blog can have their own wordpress blog software i.e i can instal more than one wordprss software in same domain and web host?
3. if i accept free domain register from my web hoster, then if i transfer my blog after 5 months or 9 months to different web host provider can i use same domain or it is not possible?
a while back I left some handmade comments in some computer related blogs not even close to spam but I put the keyword into the name field then....a few days later I found a .txt file named blogspam on my hosting account.. anybody had a similar experience...
I am hosting my wordpress blog on a web hosting that is not that reliable as it go down once in a while for few hours without any prior notification of sheduled maintenance.
However, i have a question. How do i migrate a wordpress blog with everything intact.. data, information, application, plugins, graphics and domain name?
Currently I am hosted with Aquarius Storage, who are a fantastic company and I will be posting a review of them soon, but however that is not my point. Due to the recent tragedy of the HyperVM creator committing suicide, I will have to pay more because AQ is switching to Virtuozzo. Because I simply run a somewhat large, growing blog, paying 36$ per month is kind of outrageous.
To make things short, I need a good host, that was superb uptime, and is optimized for a WordPress blog that gets around ~5k uniques, ~30k pagehits, ~100k spider hits per month. (all figures are growing, of course), and for the site to be optimized to be speedy fast.
Well it occured to me just now that I think this might be a challenge: do you know any absolutely unbiased web hosting blog?
Without a doubt WHT is a truly unbiased discussion forum for the web hosting industry. However when it comes to blog and the luring big affiliate bucks more and more hosting companies are offering, I doubt there would be ANY truly unbiased 3rd party blogs / info sites on hosting industry.
I am hosting a Wordpress blog that currently uses 30GB of bandwidth per month. I want to introduce a forum as well so will probably need 50GB per month for now. But would like it expandable to 100GB in the future.
My requirements are:
No hidden CPU Limitations/No unreasonable resource usage restrictions. Equipped to handle large surges of traffic. No Overselling, able to use full allocation.
AND PROBABLY:
LiteSpeed - Does it really make a difference?
I have looked at MediaLayer, but they only provide upto 50GB transfer.
SecureServerTech looks good but uptime is only around 99%
At the moment Steadfast Networks looks the best.
My budget will be $20 for 50GB tranfer and $40 for 100GB of transfer, but this is not fixed and I would prefer quality over price.
a Shared hosting should be enough for my wordpress blog site? It gets about 300 to 1000 hits per day.
Right now it's currently hosted on my loaded dedicated server and it's running very slow. Do you guys think I should order a shared hosting just for this blog alone?
If you've ever wanted to know how to build your own DC, the nice chaps at Pipe Networks in Australia have been blogging about their experiences building their own.

The facilities staff at Pipe Networks is live-blogging its bid to build a new data center in just 60 days. The effort began back on April 16 with an empty room in Brisbane, Australia, and is entering the stretch run with a completion deadline of 9 am EST Friday (June 15). Pipe Networks has put the entire effort online, providing a window into the data center fit-out process with daily updates via Pipe Networks' DC3 blog, a live webcam of the data center in progress and a checklist of key items and their stage of completion.
I installed Wordpress on a local install of Apache so that I can play around with it and get my design down before I put it on the web. I can get to the admin and do everything, but I can't actually get to the site. I had an index.html in my htdocs directory, which was deleted, but now when I go to localhost, it just shows the directory.
I am looking for a cheap host that will allow adult orientated discussions and advertising. There wont be any actual porn on the site or at least not hosted on the account.
I was looking at a small orange and it looks like they allow light adult material but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Can you recommend here some reliable shared host that allow Adult WordPress blog , no movies or images will be hosted at all , it will contain only linking to rapidshare links.
So I signed up for their $5.95 blog package this week. And since then, my site [url]has been down 3 times because of 500 server error. It takes them about an hour to fix it each time.
first time building a website, and was thinking about setting up a blog type website similar to the likes of engadget etc....
However I'm curious as to how I can source images and how copyright relates to a blog news site. Obviously with the quick nature I would be posting like other news sites I doubt there would be time to email the owner of a site and ask for permission and await a response.
So maybe theres a loop hole in regards to blog news sites for permission?
