Mail Server And Dedicated Server Configuration
Aug 6, 2008
I'm a a JAVA software developer and it happens that I need to configure a dedicated server running Win 2003.
It's already up and running with static IP address, however hosting offers a "Static IP Address", which doesn't really make sense, cause I already have one?
Other thing is domain name. Current domain name is registered with a different company and we don't really want to transfer it from that company. Can I get away with importing a domain name and changing MX records in the domain control panel?
Last thing is an email server. What do I need to set up an Email Server? I have a domain name with few POP3 email addresses. I thought about using hMail server for windows. What else do I need to do, pay for?

We are getting ready to re-work some of our dedicated server configurations, and I'd like to get some feed back from the community to see what it is that you are looking for when you buy a dedicated server.
So what tickles your fancy? Faster disks? More RAM? "Green" servers? What about CPU's - do you have a favorite? Atoms? Dual Cores or Quad Cores? Maybe it's all about price point - I'm really trying to get a handle on making our offerings match as closely as possible to what you would want in a dedicated server, so throw it out here and let's get some constructive ideas going.

I'm soon to be launching a new website that I have been working on for the past couple years. I am getting a new dedicated server for this website and want to ask a few questions before getting one configured to my liking:
1) Should I install Apache 2.x.xx as opposed to Apache 1.3.xx? Up till now, I have only worked and developed on Apache 1.3.xx, but if I'm going to need to upgrade at some point, my as well do it now before I launch the site to the public. Problem is, I have many many rewrites at the configuration file level, and I am not sure what the compatibility is for my rewrites is going from 1.3.xx to 2.x.xx. Anyone know or have advice?
2) I have developed this website in PHP 5, so I'm good with PHP... but I developed the site with MySQL 4.1. I would like to upgrade to MySQL 5 before I go live to the public, but again, not sure if there would be any fallout with my code. The only thing I can think of off hand is that I DO NOT use the mysqli extension. I use the standard mysql extension when calling my database. But I am assuming I can disable mysqli and use the plain old mysql extension with MySQL 5. Anyone know?
3) I put all my mod_rewrite rules in the httpd.conf file. Since this will be a managed dedicated server (hosting company does the updates), if my hosting company updates Apache on my server, would I lose (or potentially lose) any modifications or additions I make to my httpd.conf file? Or do Apache updates not touch the httpd.conf file because of this?

Right now we are getting total 5000 visitor/day on 5-6 of my websites.
We are currently using shared hosting but planning to get Dedicated server for better speed and dedicated IP's for each site.
All sites based on PHP/MySQL.
Our Budget is $125 but we have no idea what ideal configuration would be like P4 2.4Ghz or core 2 duo or athlon X2.
80 GB hard disk with 1000 GB data transfer is sufficient we are looking at iweb.com they have some budget server.
We also need Cpanel/WHM with fantastico.
guide us for Processor and RAM and ideal configuration we dont need any managed services we can handle our servers.

I notice the server is really slow and it takes awhile to connect and cause connection timed out. So I changed the default apache setting to
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 16
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 40
MaxClients 250
MaxRequestsPerChild 2000
</IfModule>
and it seems to be normal again. Right now there is 2000 visitors going to the website and possibly 3000/hour during peek hours. The page is in php/mysql, 4 mysql queries per page.
When I goto CPU/MEMORY/MYSQL usage in WHM, there is a red color bar and the information is

I want to buy soon a Dell PowerEdge SC1435, as my first 1U server.
I will hook it to a co-location data center, near by my place.
Feel free to tell me if you see some bad choice related to server options:
Dual Core AMD Opteron 2212HE 2.0GHz, 2x1MB Cache, 1Ghz HyperTransport
No Operating System
No Memory (if possible, plan to buy recognized performance brand)
24X IDE CD-ROM
SAS 5IR internal RAID adapter, PCI-Express
Add-in SAS5iR RAID Controller which supports 2 SAS Hard Drives - RAID 1
No Hard Drives (I already purchased 2 Fujitsu 73GB 15K SCSI ULTRA320 80pin HD's - Part MAU3073NC)
On-Board Dual Gigabit Network Adapter, No TOE
Rack Chassis with Static Rapid Rails, 1U
Riser with 1 PCIe Slot
Broadcom DualPort TCP/IP Offload Engine Not Enabled, Linux OS Only
Bezel
I have the 2 Fujitsu 73GB HD's and plan to set them into a RAID 1 array.
Will the RAID controllers from Dell be compatible with the above HD's?
Do you recommend me NOT to get the Dell controllers and purchase instead a different brand?

I have customer which site domain*.net (e) is hosted on my server.
domain*.com is his site too, (but is hosted by another hoster) and as *.com is operational site, he ask me to set for domain*.net records of domain*.com
so just now records for domain*.net are:
Code:
domain*.net - 14400 in A - IP of second hoster
localhost.domain*.net -1440 in A -127.0.0.1
domain*.net 14400 ub MX - 0
www -14400 in CNAME - domain*.com
FTP -14400 in A - IP of second hoster
everything works nice, untill my client need to setup emails on this domain - domain*.net
i setup emails via cpanel, but if client try to connect via mail program (f.e. outlook express), he got an error. [as mail program try to connect to domain*.net which is pointed to domain*.com]
so my question is, is there any way, to change (add) any record, and as result have working emails on domain*.net ?
As i know, i must setup A or CNAME records of "mail" to my ip of domain*.net

I have a client who is a media company and is interested in using a dedicated server in order to send their daily e-newsletters by email. The server will only host a script for handling the email distribution and email database.
They need to send approximately 20,000 emails every working day, in blocks of 5,000 emails. Each email includes an attached PDF file of 3Mb (this means less than 2,000Gb of bandwidth every month). They want each block of 5,000 emails to be sent within maximum 2 hours.
Please let me know the suggested configuration for a server to handle this email load.

We're expecting a large spike in traffic (40k visits in one day) soon. We’re running on a very powerful server with CentOS & cPanel.
Is there any specific configuration we can setup to prepare for the large visitor spike? The website is very database and PHP intensive. We want to avoid any downtime.

What is the best way to setup my server hard drives for shared hosting? I have yet to purchase the hard drives. I was thinking of using two 250GB HD's or maybe a single 500GB HD. What is your experience with this in the past? Should I aim to use SATA or IDE? My thoughts are its better to have two drives for redundancy and performance.
