Is It Worth It To Go 64bit
I wonder if there is a big advantage if I would go 64bit instead of 32bit. Now I mean standard webserver + mysql. And how about compatibility isses?

32bit Vs. 64bit
I have been trying to research this but I cant seem to find an answer. The big question I am trying to figure out is the comparison in clock speed for different processor bits. For example, a 32 bit Pentium 4 at 3.2ghz versus a 64 bit AMD Athlon 2.0 Ghz?

CentOS 5x But 32bit Or 64bit
2 server configuration will look something like below. I heard that the 32bit kernel is better for the web server since I'll have cpanel on it. Anyone able to confirm this or should I just put 64bit on both of them? Web Server 5420 2.5GHz (Dual QuadCore) 2x250GB SATA2 (RAID1) 2GB RAM DB Server 5310 1.6GHz (Clovertown, DUAL processor) 2x73GB SAS (RAID1) 4GB RAM

Choosing 32bit Versus 64bit OS
I'm in the process of preparing to install CentOS 5 on my server, and was wondering whether most people recommend going with the 64bit version or sticking with 32bit. My server's CPU is 64-bit capable (Xeon 3060 at SoftLayer), and I have previously run CentOS 4.4 64bit on it, though I did have some struggles from time to time getting things to work (following setup guides that tend to assume 32bit more often than not). I'll be running just a standard setup of PHP 5, MySQL 5, and Apache 2, powering several moderate-traffic sites that run on the Drupal CMS (e.g. about 7000-10000 visitors per day total, though hopefully more in the future of course). I don't plan on running a control panel other than Webmin, though I might get DirectAdmin or similar in the future to make hosting some friends/clients a bit simpler. Will going with 64bit offer any worthwhile advantage with this setup?

Rackspace Worth The $$?
Rackspace worth the $$? The name, service and reputation is excellent but their prices seem to be much higher than similar services at other reputable providers. The client looking at rackspace MUST have a reliable server, backups and security. These are not optional. Is rackspace worth the extra dollars? Buying peace of mind or buying the name?

Worth Getting Reseller
I'm currently designing a website for a friend of mine for her new photography business. And she does not know anything about the web, basically I am setting her up with hosting, domain, everything.... I've done this for about 3 people so far. My question is, Is it worth it for me to buy a small reseller hosting plan, and have her pay me about $5-7 /mo, and since I will be handling everything, I get the support from my host and have her basically pay for my reseller hosting which I may end up with more clients from more web design? or just stick with the traditional recommending her to a company... Is there such thing as me making a few bucks from giving someone else business?

Is Colo Worth It
I am planning on doing some media streaming (youtube style) I am debating whether to colo my dual opteron (1u) - I am looking for 100mpbs port unmetered with some quality mixed bandwidth. How much will that run me for? does it make more sense to rent a dedicated server? How about all those extras I hear about, like managed switches and power consumption..is that big issue? Could somebody give me a quick quote as to how much colocating a 1u rack with 100mpbs premium b/w will cost? and then how much going the dedicated server route would compare note: I need something that will get good speeds to asia. I anticipate 15 percent of visitors to be from Asia.

RHEL 5 - 32bit V 64bit Running Cpanel 11 For Hosting
As cPanel is an integral part of server hosting and has the ability of compiling Apache 1.3.x with PHP4 (cgi) and PHP5 (dso) on your server OS. Does anyone know or have baselines/benchmarks for which performs better generally for hosting: 32bit or 64bit RedHat 5 when cPanel 11 has compiled for the Apache and php mentioned above on either of these OS editions? (assume latest versions of apache/php4/5) I was wondering if 32bit performed better or 64bit on a quad core Xeon. Don't forget PHP is compiled for prefork and not multi-threading for Apache 1.3.41 (which are considered legacy 32bit forked apps compiled against 64bit OS). Or rephrased, could i be hampering performance by running it on a 64bit OS on a Xeon (X3210) or improving performance? I'd assume 64bit would offer better all round processing power, or is this a misconception. I recently decided to get a server on RedHat Enterprise 5 X86_64 (64bit), when i wondered if 32bit version would have provided better performance and been the better options for compatibility.

Is Hostgator Really Worth The Price?
I've read a couple of reviews on similar forums and blogs trying to figure out which hosts are worth their buck. The main points of discussion were: - Price - Reliability (up/downtime) - Support Most of the providers were either too expensive, or lack proper support. The most discussed company was Hostgator. I don't understand the hype but maybe you guys can help me out here.

What's Bandwidth Worth?
So I run a small music forum site. We used to have the ability for our users to download music track sets. We had over 100 files that are generally around 80MB and the users could add more so our space requirements would increase over time. We initially set this up with dreamhost.com (unlimited bandwidth/space) but they eventually asked us to stop using the space as a data repository and wanted to charge $1 per GB transferred (which at that time was about $100-120/month). The Problem: This is something our users want and would probably pay for. I'm sort of asking for advice on how to approach this problem. Need to figure out how we could set this up and what to charge the users for downloading the music files (price per file, monthly plans, etc). Considering we want to keep it cheap enough that users will pay and the hosting costs would probably rise with the demand and exposure of the program. What sort of hosts should I be looking for?

Cheap RAM, Is It Worth It
RAM price is so low nowadays that one could buy 8 GB of cheap ram for 300$ (4x2GB) to build a server. I have a server with 2x1GB cheap ram that has been running for 18 months without any issue. My bet is that ECC ram is not worth it when you can buy normal ram for such low prices. How many of you would run a server with 8GB of cheap ram?

100% Uptime - What's It Worth To You
As I've mentioned in other threads, I work in the hosting industry at the support end of things. I can't go more than 10 minutes into my shift each day without seeing a ticket where someone is complaining about or contesting the "99% uptime guarantee". One day a couple weeks ago, I had someone complaining about an Alertra report with 98.7% uptime, and how it was unsatisfactory for their site to be down for 10 minutes every month. What's more, it was just a stupid World of Warcraft forum that probably saw 5 visitors per day. My co-workers and I have been debating this, though. What worth is there in 99% uptime? Is it something that can be achieved? If so, would people pay more for it? Would it be able to be marketed to the shared hosting community? Would people be willing to pay more for 100% uptime? Would the same answers apply?

VLANS For Internal Servers - Is It Worth It?
We offer colocation & dedicated servers as well as shared & reseller hosting services. Our colocation customers and dedicated server customers are definitely on their own VLANs for obvious reasons. Up until now, we have been using separate VLANS and ip allocations for each of the servers in our shared & reseller server fleet. I'm starting to question this policy for many reasons: 1) We directly manage all of the servers and it is very rare that any servers are compromised to the point where they can steal an IP address. 2) We are wasting IP addresses - network, broadcast and gateway addresses are required for each vlan. Additionally, if a server needs 1 more IP address, we need to add a whole new block. If all of the servers are under our direct management, does it make sense for us to use any vlans at all? It seems that it only serves to complicate things, waste ips and add management overhead.

Less Resources And Cheap VPS. Does It Worth For You
I have seen some requests for cheap Virtual Private Servers. By saying "cheap" I mean under $20/month... However the those who posted the requests meant under $10/month... I don't think that a virtual machine or container would cost $10 or less, but I've seen some providers to offer virtual servers with a very small amount of resources - a couple gigs of space, not to much bandwidth and 64 MB or 128 MB RAM - and to price them around 10 bucks per month. Although I'd never go this way I'm curious to read what do you thin about such a marketing policy. Do you think that offering a VPS which can not even have a control panel because it doesn't have enough resources is a good practice? (I realize that there are different scenarios and some people probably don't need hosting automation software, but at the same time need a low cost virtual machine...)

Multi Core Processors Worth It
I'm contemplating whether to get a quad core high clock speed OR 2x quad core lower clock speed processor for my rack server. The question boils down to.. Does Apache, PHP, and MySQL support multi-threading? Will having a bunch of cores just be a waste if high-traffic web hosting is the primary goal? I run a PHP/MySQL intensive shopping cart.

Is It Worth It To Buy The Cheapest Hosting You Can Find
What are the most important things to look for in a hosting company? Cost? Network Speed? Uptime? Quality hardware? Quality Support? Fast Support? Redundancy? Most people would say all of above right? Well, if you had to stack each of the above in order of importance, where would you put cost at? Is it at the top for you or at the bottom? If I had to rate each of them it would look something like this: Uptime Network Speed and reliability Redundancy of power, bandwidth, cooling Reputable Tier 1 carriers of bandwidth Quality Support Fast Support Quality hardware Cost The problem is that I see many people on WHT acting like Cost if the #1 factor in determining a host. And when you let cost be your #1 determining factor, you will be usually sacrificing on some or all of the other factors that you should be looking at. The higher up the list you put cost in deciding where to host, the more you will sacrifice quality in these other important areas. "But", you say, "I see many quality companies offering cheap pricing. Shouldn't I choose to go with them?" Consider this, hosting companies like any other business need to be able to make a profit. Sale prices are great but there are reasons for sale prices and you need to consider these reasons when choosing to buy a cheap server. Some common reasons for selling servers for extremely cheap are; - The hardware is used and old and the hosting company is just looking get something for it. ANYTHING! - They have an excess of inventory for one reason or another that they need to get rid of. - They buy their servers used on Ebay and can therefore afford to sell them cheap. - The cheap server is merely a loss leader used to bring business in order to sell other products and services at full price but is not a regular price that you can expect from this company. - The company is new and is looking to attract prospective clients on price alone and is dropping the price just to get their client base increased quickly. There are companies selling servers on WHT who fall into each of these categories so you need to think about this when you make a decision for who to go with. The common denominator with the above list is simple... It is Unsustainable! Not one of the reasons listed above can be sustained for a long period of time. If you can get a good deal on a server with a solid company, and there are many on WHT that are great companies who have great deals on servers at times, then that is wonderful. But do not expect that you will be able to get insanely cheap pricing on a regular basis from this company and don't be surprised when you want another server if the price is significantly higher. Every hosting company has certain costs that are unavoidable: - Rent - Power - Bandwidth - Payroll - Employee Benefits - Server Hardware Costs - Software Licensing - Marketing and Advertising - Maintenance Contracts - Network Equipment - Infrastructure Replacement (a/c's, generators, UPS units, etc.) - Other Utilities The point in bringing all of this up is that if you plan on finding a hosting company that you can stay with for the long haul, you need to look at their regular pricing for retail servers and for reselling servers. Cheap prices are great, but no business can stay in business if they only offer cheap pricing. And if a hosting company is only attracting you by their cheap pricing, then it shows that they are most likely weak when it comes to the other essential factors mentioned above that need to be considered. Any hosting company selling servers for under $80 per month for instance is loosing money in some way. Eventually, the price will be raised to cover those costs (like at LT this year) and then you are left to make up that difference. As with most things in life, good quality cannot be sold cheap, and that which is cheap is usually not good quality.

BirdHosting - Worth My Time To Write A Review
BirdHosting - worth my time to write a review I just completed my latest site launch with BirdHosting.com and I have to say Mike knows how to operate this hosting company. I've been with ourinternet.us (spare me ever again---please), HostMySite, and GoDaddy. Godaddy was my latest host until I moved it over to Bird. Godaddy didn't give me much flexibility with their VPS windows hosting plans. I needed more then 10 gigs on a windows host. A buddy of mine referred me to Mike from BirdHosting and Mike had me up and going before I even gave him a credit card. He really wanted to impress and meet all my needs. I now have a 50 gig / 1gig windows vps for a super great monthly price. I enjoy the personal attention I get when something goes wrong. BirdHosting also helped me pick out two servers for where I work at too. Mike spent over 45 minutes on the phone with me answering questions I had. Godaddy would NEVER do that. Anyways - I'm enjoying super FAST up time since going over to the birds nest. worth a look at if you are considering hosting companies.

Grid / Utility / Cloud Hosting Worth Pursuing? (vs. Dedicated)
I'm planning on launching a php-based web application within a month or two and am weighing different hosting options. I was almost certain with my plan to use two dedicated servers (one for web, one for db) but I can't help reading about all of these new grid/cloud/utility hosting solutions that promise instant scalability and deployment - which sounds like a blessing. I know there is a lot of garbage and marketing hype so I felt I should ask what the real deal is. Are these services reliable, worth using, really that easy to use, powerful, etc? I was looking at gogrid's demo videos and to instantly launch a few web servers, a db server, load balancer, etc, in 15 minutes for 30% of the cost - I can't ignore it. So whats the deal?

Mysql Delayed Writes Performance Boost, Worth The Risk
During my poking around performance tips I found the DELAY_KEY_WRITE option (and innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 0 for innodb) which supposedly for mysql will disable the immediate disk flush for every transaction written and instead update only once every second at most? One thing I've never had to restart on my vps is mysql, it's been great. So is this safe to turn on? Am I risking corruption? Will the performance gain be worth it with only a 16M cache?

32 Or 64bit & Existing Domain Net Vs New Domain
delving into a new server, a dual opteron w/Centos. Got two questions as I think about setup. 1) 32 bit or 64bit? 2) Regarding host names and server assignemt...I can either assign it as a node to a domain hosted elsewhere in a reseller account, or I can start with a completely unused domain which is currently parked. Any preference, in an ideal world? (I have absolutely no preference, but it occurrred to me it may or may not be of consequence, perfomance & IT-wise and generally speaking .. all things being equal, of course.) Like I said, a newbie. So I'm braced for the if-you-have-to-ask, you-shouldn't-be-in-one" musings for these rather basic boneheaders.

Worth Upgrading To Quadcore Server (win2003 Server)?
Site is currently running on a single code single cpu p4 server. Am thinking of upgrading to a quad core Xeon server. My site is pretty dynamic with lots of hits to php / mysql, and has trouble keeping up with the requests sometimes. Would a quadcore Xeon significantly help? Server Software: Windows 2003 Server php 5.2.6 apache 2 mysql 4.1 Current Setup: P4 2.8 single core/cpu. Proposed setup Xeon 3210 quadcore I guess my confusion lies in the following: 1. Can win2003 server make use of the quadcores? 2. Does php / apache / mysql make use of the quadcores? 3. Will i see a significant increase in the amount of pages i can serve?
