Is there really some kind of requirements to host Silverlight applications except for the fact that you probably need IIS and .NET support?
Is there some kind of special configuration needed?
What is Microsoft Silverlight? I have a webserver which support .NET 1.1 / 2.0 / 3.0 / 3.5, Does it require to install any thing else for support of Microsoft SilverLight as my clients are asking for Silverlight support.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm in the (very) early stages of developing a MySpace application and I'm looking for advice on hosting package needs. I've got an extensive software development background, but nothing at all web related, so I really don't know where to begin, and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot from the get-go.
I assume a simple shared hosting package would suffice for development, but I don't know how long or far it would scale, what the upgrade path would be, or what difficulties I'd encounter, so I'm here with this question.
I'd appreciate any suggestions whatsoever on what's key for this kind of application: package type, minimum data transfer, connections, cpu time, OS, database, language support, etc.. That includes any experiences anyone might have had, the host they've used and liked or disliked, or what they offer themselves (if that's allowed on the forum) and so on. Anything at all.
I'm trying to come up with a cheap , middle of the road, and high end set of solutions (list of equipment) for in-house hosting of video-casting / audio-casting on a site that can get big spikes of traffic at times. With some particular attention /consideration to the back-end, server requirements/needs. When or at what point does one need a a dedicated server for media? How much bandwidth is needed? how much traffic is a breaking point?

I ll choose hosting company accordingly.

Anyone use sbs server to host his website, because most of the link i read never mention it for hosting, and only for print sharing/ filesharing/ business applications, but where is it's use for hosting?
So what do you think ? IO looked at its infor and it did not provide much?
I'm currently looking for co-location in the US (preferably West coast) for a 2RU server with a 100mbit port with around 500gb-1TB of bandwidth, with the option to upgrade bandwidth as necessary.
I have two requirements though - first, I need a provider who can do the initial server setup for me. I want to provide them with a blank, empty server and I want them to install the operating system (no control panel), install the relevant software (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Exim) and do an initial server hardening. Obviously expect to pay a higher setup cost for this
Second, I need a provider that does two things - they need to offer dedicated servers as well as co-lo (as I will need a handful of dedicated servers at some point in the future for 2-3 months only), and I need them to be able to place these servers on to a private switch/VLAN so that all bandwidth can be pooled between the servers and used as necessary, rather than having individual port limits. I would probably be looking at needing a 1gbit port in total for these servers (or 100mbit ports to each server). And I need someone that can sustain a data transfer of a few hundred mbits from these servers in terms of their infrastructure and connectivity
So does anyone know of any providers that can offer this? Preferably someone who doesn't charge an arm and a leg (but at the same time, not necessarily dirt cheap) for bandwidth, as I will obviously be using a fair bit
we have a site with a lot of traffic around 100.000 visitors and 250.000 pageviews daily, each page is just 30k to 60k , we use mssql server and hit our database with a very simple query ( "select, where, order by" type ), is a small table just 9000 records. What windows vps would you guys recommend me for this kind of traffic? What amount of RAM memory? mssql on the same server or shared? would mssql server 2005 express do the job?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow much does a typical quad core Xeon eat, say an E5410 or a E7320? a 2GB RAM stick? A 500-750GB SATA disk? How much is the system overhead for a 1U unit? I tried to find data on this without too much success. For example Intel says the same number (80W) for an 1.6GHz CPU and a 2.4GHz one -- that does not sound too reliable to me.
If this is too abstract, then I would like to ask aobut the real world power consumption of two boxes. 1 E5410, 8GB of RAM, 2 SATA disk maybe 10K RPM. The other will have two E7320, 24-32GB of RAM and 3 10-15K disk.

What sort of hosting requirements do you think I would need for...
A site with a mysql db with 100,000+ records in a single table and executing simple select statements on the table with 100,000+ records at a rate of 50 queries per second? (All other things should be negligible at this scale).
how to figure out how much power one would need?
My potential colo provider is saying that a 5A circuit comes standard with a 1/4 cabinet and that they charge $20 per amp over that. I will have (6) Dell 1650's with dual 650W PSU's. Any idea how to calculate how much actual power I will need for this configuration?
My question is not purely theoretical. My partners and I are starting a new web hosting company and would like to hear your opinion before we do something completely wrong. Our understanding of the market tells that there are 2 major components of that business: reliability and cost, so we decided to keep cost at the average rate but to bring reliability as high as possible. So our points were as following:
1. Reliable server hardware: IBM/HP/Dell servers only, using redundant hard drives in RAID1, redundant power supplies.
2. Reliable and fast server support: Server vendor provided 7x24 onsite support with 4 hour response
3. Reliable network: Connection to at least 4 major internet providers
4. Reliable power: Dual UPS provide 2 redundant power lines to each server
5. Powerful servers: Dual CPU 4-Core Xeons; up to 32 GB RAM; 750 GB SATA II disks
6. Remote diagnostics and support: Servers equipped with Remote Management interface to diagnose problems and create server support ticket with the server vendor automatically.
7. Reliable datacenter: Toronto Front 151 datacenter provides physical security, fire prevention, network connections, power generators
We will provide VPS hosting and considering SUSE/Virtuozzo as our main virtualization platform. We have not decided yet either to purchase its support through Novell (SUSE distributor) or SWsoft (Virtuozzo vendor).

* Windows hosting
* PHP GD library (installed on most hostings)
* Permissions to execute third-party applications (i.e. exe files)
* Permissions to execute Internet Explorer
I've used Jodohost before and they were ok. Also was considering weberz.com, but I don't if either will meet these requirements. Any ideas?

Do you realise that the x64 Opteron is needing an avarage 1.7 %MEM for each Apache process while the Xeon just needs 0.5 %MEM?

Currently i am running on a Mediatemple DV base VPS that provides me 256MB guaranteed RAM, and a processing speed of appx 190Mhz and is on Virtuozzo.
Currently my site keeps going down and i dont know what to do...
Can anyone please suggest me a better VPS for my site.
My Budget is around 60$.
I checked linode and they are providing 900MB of RAM guaranteed, along with 533Mhz of processing, but the only problem i feel is that they are running on UML.
How good is linode?, anyone used them before, any previous experiences.
how stable is UML?, is it better to have Virtuozzo or UML.

Vpsland is providing Xen servers, do anyone have any previous experiences with Vpsland,Linode.
Even JaguarPC is providing a VPS for 512MB ram, on vitruozzo or 59$,how good is JaguarPC, any previous experiences...
If you can provide me more services that fall within 60$ and a minimum of 512MB ram,

Im trying to host a video sharing site. I have been through 2 hosts that told me they support the files that i need (i.e. flvtool2, mencoder, mplayer, ffmpeg, etc.) Come to find out that they dont. Now i am in need of a new host that supports this. I have researched different ones but to make a decision i need this answer:
For a video sharing site just starting out what is the recommended bandwidth, data transfer, and disk space to run this site? I just want to start small and i will expand if the growth permits it. I just dont want to jump in feet first not knowing the outcome.

I have a client who needs an online training web application. I have done plenty of sites in the past, but none with streaming video so am really unsure what type of hardware this requires. At peak the client expects 50 users watching streaming video at the same time (so lets double it to 100 to be sure). What type of server hardware requirements am I looking at to deliver that content at a good speed with little to no hick ups? Also, is a 100Mbps link good enough?
Does anybody use Microsoft LogParser on their 2003 server? I am looking to use this program to find out when a user login via remote desktop and when they logoff. I have found that in Event Viewer the EventID of user login/logoff is 528 or 538. The only thing is that there are multiple logoffs in a row (with the same time for the same user) or the user logs in then out again at the same time right down to the second.
This is the query I was running then importing that data into a database to view/analyze the data:
Code:
SELECT
ComputerName,
EventID,
TimeGenerated AS LogTime,
STRCAT(STRCAT(EXTRACT_TOKEN (Strings, 1, '|'), ''), EXTRACT_TOKEN(Strings, 0, '|')) AS Username
INTO
c:logonoff.csv
FROM
[computer name here]Security
WHERE
EventID IN (528; 538)
AND
EventCategoryName = 'Logon/Logoff'
I have a potential client that uses it and ISA is blocking the ports my control panel uses so they need to open up the ports. Anyone know how they can do this? They're not local otherwise I'd just stop by and tinker around until I figure it out.

I am currently running vB using PHP 4.3.9 with Zend WinEnabler on a windows 2003 server. I have a seperate database server and a web server. This current configuration works fine, but I am moving to an upgraded web server and this is where the problems start.
Due to intermitant issues with Zend WinEnabler (now a discontinued product) I wanted to move to the latest version of PHP (5.2.5 NTS) and Microsoft FastCGI. The problem is that I am getting blank pages when clicking the Today's Post link from the top menu and immediately following the submission of a new post. I've gone through all of the vBulletin listed suggestions about trouble shooting blank pages and none apply.
Because I have a seperate database sever, I am accessing the same database with the new server vB configuration I am migrating to. As such I suspect the issue has to be related to web server given there are no issues on the current live site and the only changes are the PHP version and acceleration app.
If anyone has some suggestions, please let me know. I am running out of time on my server migration window before I am going to be billed for two servers.

I have a moderately successful site, which makes enough money to cover my current hosting costs of 7 per month. I know, millionaire row it ain't, but it's popular. But my database is getting big and my current host wont allow the user of EXECUTE and SUPER privileges which I need to run triggers and stored procedures to keep the page load times sensible.
So, I need another UK host with:
- 2Gb of space (the site serves up big PDF documents)
- 70Gb of bandwidth (I said they were big)
- mysql privs available as above
Customer service with my current host, uk web solutions, is great (apart from refusal to countenance the privileges) so I need my new host to be as good. Budget? well, you can see what I'm paying now, and I have a psychological £10/month barrier which I don't want to cross.

Recently on Jan 21, Microsoft made it a trivial process to install all the components needed to "kick the tires" with the "Web Platform Installer"
And I've come across a lot of hosters claiming to provide Windows hosting that could really use some quality time with this stuff!
